SIGNS: Ship Leaves Spain Amid Treasure Tussle
I was noticing News on the dispute over lost Treasure. It's a Helen of Troy Theme regarding Sunny Leone as the "Gold."
The reason why it's Odyssey is because it's referring to the Epic Poem from Homer and the long trek or journey. I had said that Eric born 11/11 and I are actually the same person.
I was pointing out that even if Sunny Leone, her friends, and Matt Erickson's friends all go off on me in defense of Matt Erickson that they're really defending me.
It's a little Mind Game that the Planet is playing on people who try to argue with me. It already calculated how people would react to me so it tilted all the information in Historical Dates, Alphabet, and Number System.
Don't you find it odd that IR is for Jesus Christ and that the Letters "IR" are also found in the word "AIR"?
Humans can't breathe without Air. If God was a real living entity, wouldn't it make sense to embed a Jesus Christ Tag in something that people can't live without?
Without air to breathe, people can't survive. That's one way of making people always remember where they come from even if they do branch away from Religion.
Even water is composed of Air. Oxygen is a component of Water. Notice how the word "Fire" also has IR in it.
The Planet and Sun made sure to cover everything. It seems impossible, but if you have hundreds of millions of years to calculate, plan, and orchestrate something, you could pull it off.
It's all a matter of having the time to do it.
That's why I keep saying that before Matt Erickson, his supporters, or even Sunny Leone chew my ass out to check the birthdates of their closest friends and relatives to see if the Mathematical Decryption Code tells them things about their Family Tree and who they were paired up with over the years or had a huge impact on them.
Ship Leaves Spain Amid Treasure Tussle

TAMPA, Fla. (July 20) -- A ship belonging to Florida deep-sea explorers has left Spanish waters, ending the latest round in an increasingly nasty dispute with that nation's government over the rights to a vast sunken treasure.

The ship Ocean Alert is moored July 12 in Algeciras, Spain, after authorities seized it in a dispute over a sunken treasure. Spain released the vessel, owned by Odyssey Marine Exploration, a Florida deep-sea exploration firm, on Wednesday.
Odyssey Marine Exploration's ship chugged out of Spanish waters Thursday, a day after Spanish authorities released the vessel. They seized the ship July 12 after it left British-controlled Gibraltar to search the vessel for clues as to the origins of an estimated $500 million in silver coins and other artifacts salvaged from a still undisclosed shipwreck.
The seizure of the 240-foot Ocean Alert culminated months of tense talks between Odyssey officials and the Spanish government, detailed in a 109-page affidavit the company prepared for Spain's Culture Ministry. Odyssey provided a copy of the document to The Associated Press.
"It's been very frustrating for everyone," said Aladar Nesser, Odyssey's director of international relations, who is trying to determine if the company's other ship, Odyssey Explorer, will be allowed to leave British-controlled Gibraltar without interference from Spain.
At the heart of the dispute is Spain's claim that it has a right to share in the treasure if it was recovered in territorial waters or is connected to the nation's heritage in any way.
Citing security and other concerns, Odyssey will not disclose the location of the shipwreck, code-named "Black Swan." The company says it's not yet sure of the identity of the sunken ship, which yielded 17 tons of coins that were flown to the United States in May.
The secrecy has contributed to a growing mistrust of the Tampa-based company among some in the Spanish government, a sentiment that has been fanned by the country's media.
"Spain has reason to believe Odyssey has recovered Spanish property without authorization," said James A. Goold, an attorney who filed a claim in U.S. federal court on behalf of Spain.
Odyssey co-founder Greg Stemm said he resents the company's growing reputation as modern-day pirates.
The company, he said, has "bent over backward" to communicate with the Spanish and other governments about its movements and treasure searches. And Odyssey has gone to U.S. federal court to seek exclusive rights to suspected wreck sites so anyone in the world with a potential claim would have a proper venue.
"That's the great irony," Stemm said. "How much more straightforward can you be than turning over the site to the U.S. federal court and following U.S. federal court orders? Does that really sound like piracy to you?"
In Odyssey's affidavit, Stemm noted that Spanish authorities last year declined the company's invitation to be part of pending search and salvage projects that could yield riches and have cultural significance to the nation.
But two weeks after Odyssey made headlines with news of the "Black Swan" treasure, Spain filed a claim in federal court in Tampa and has tried to force the company to disclose more details. That could happen as early as Monday, when Odyssey's next court filing is due.
Culture Ministry spokeswoman Diana Lara said Thursday that Spain's next legal move will depend on what Odyssey reveals in court.
Even if another country or party is able to prove a claim to the shipwreck and its cargo, Odyssey said it would apply for a salvage award in U.S. federal court, which has jurisdiction over admiralty cases. In similar cases, salvage companies are usually awarded a large percentage of the recovery.
Some experts believe Odyssey found the wreck of the Merchant Royal, a British ship loaded with tons of Spanish coins that sank off the southwestern tip of England in 1641. The company received exclusive salvage rights to a wreck site in the area where the Merchant Royal is believed to have gone down.
But Spanish officials say circumstantial evidence indicates otherwise. Odyssey acknowledges operating near Spanish waters this year, searching for another undisclosed wreck in international waters with the full knowledge of the government, according to the affidavit.
In March, before the "Black Swan" story broke, Spanish officials gave Odyssey permission to resume its search for the wreck of a British vessel, the HMS Sussex, in the western Mediterranean Sea.
Despite Odyssey's emphatic statements to the contrary, some in Spain believe the "Black Swan" treasure came from the Sussex, which was leading a British fleet into the Mediterranean for a war against France in 1694 when it sank in a storm off Gibraltar.
Spanish media reported that Odyssey operated in the region in March, but Odyssey said it was there only to sink a prop treasure chest as a part of a contest promotion connected to Disney's movie, "Pirates of Caribbean: At World's End."
Stemm said the company typically uses Gibraltar, a British territory on the southern tip of Spain, as a base for any of its operations in that part of the world.

- It's no coincidence that the Lawyer is named "Goold"
- Goold = Go(O)ld = Gold with O inside = Gold with Sagittarius inside
- Spain = Joshua Spain from Wells Fargo = Josh from "Princess Diaries" = Erik Von Detten = Eric born 11/11
- Goold = Go/Old = IR(Go-Spanish) Old
