It is revealed on this disc that one of the members of the committee was a major sponsor of Philanthropy. Another shocking revelation found on the disc indicates that not only are all twelve members of the Wisemen's Committee dead, but have been dead for approximately 100 years. I copied this from wikipedia. Who is Philanthopy's major sponser? Or does it just mean that a bit of the Philosophers Legacy was given to them?

This is just what I've read online though,as I too asked myself the same question after I beat 2. I think its one of Hideos things that's just not meant to have an answer.

Ocelot was the son of the Boss. The Boss was the daughter of one the original founding members of the Philosophers. Even though, it's never said that Ocelot finds out that he was the son of the Boss. I'm sure Big Boss who could put the two and two together eventually told him. Maybe we will find out in the rumor prequel of MGS5. So Ocelot helped Snake's and Otacon. If you remember Liquid possessing Ocelot in MGS2 says that he leaked the information to them about Arsernal Gear. Either way it was Ocelot or Liquid Ocelot.

The phonecall has been used for some sort of cliffhanger everytime, for the players to anticipate the next game, in my opinion. I haven't got a clue, but I could've been (warning: MGS4 spoilers) Spoiler: click to toggle EVA, or Big Boss. Either one of them could've used one of the Philosophers names when funding Philanthrophy. Edited by BosaBoss, Jun 27 2008, 06:06 PM.

I remembered this when playing MGS4 it doesn't work out though because Sigint EVA Zero Ocelot Big Boss Para-Medic are all the members. Anyway philantropy would have been funded by the Patriots after all Snake was just a pawn used by the Patriots to do their bidding, he was created by them. They would have been allotted funds just like all the companies that contributed to the war economy. Snake was used to kill Big Boss twice and to stop Liquid, the Patriots would make sure that he was getting his fair share.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty	I don't think it was ever revealed who was really funding Philanthropy. Obviously, to get them sanctioned by the UN, the sponsor had to have some serious political connections. In my opinion, it had to have been Zero. He was the only one left with enough of the connections needed to fully fund Philanthropy AND get them to be recognized/sanctioned by the United Nations.

One becomes two, two becomes 10, 10 becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as zero remains, one will eventually grow to 100 again." - Spoiler: click to toggle Big Boss Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots[/big]

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater	If i remember correctly, the 12 names and contained information was about the original Wisemen Commite which is mentioned on MGS3 as the head of the Philosophers (the precursors of the Patriots, so to say) so then the information was not about the actual Patriots, but of the original Wisemen Commite on which Volgin's and The Boss's father belonged to. Spoiler: click to toggle Since its mentioned that the 12 persons died about a 100 years ago, it makes a lot of sense these were the people involved instead of the actual Patriots which is the team assembled by Major Zero which included practically the whole surviving cast of MGS3

Well at the start off MGS4 Solid states that the disc they got at during the Plant was a "load of crap". Meaning that this was too screw with Snake & Otacons heads.

Not true Spoiler: click to toggle Sigint EVA Zero Ocelot Big Boss And Para-Medic were NOT the members of The Wisemans Commitee. It's never fully explained who the members of The Wisemans commitee are but two of them were Colonel Volgins father and The Boss's Father
