There is also message embedded within an attached CSS file as a comment. The css file is coming.css:
/* I have bypassed the Niantic Mainframe and have begun a subnet for much improved OPS. As I am ambivalent toward any faction, these tools will help all agents in reverse-engineering these shaper technologies. The NIA will invariably try to shut this down, but I have established numerous exit and entrance nodes within a private TOR in the background. NGOs will not shut me down. Stand by for further instructions and more information. */
If anyone has any further information regarding this site, please contact me immediately.
Godspeed,

Comments
HTML comment
It looks like there's also a comment in the HTML that references Revelations 22:12 as well:
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
Site details
The site is ran by a player named Varian. I don't want to give away too many details in comments, but I guarantee the site is his. Feel free to contact me if you want more information. I assume you can view my email address somehow?
JavaScript
Looks like there is a problem with the JavaScript of this site trying to accommodate the counter for the timezone variation, because 4 pm on the 14th is only valid for GMT. First of all it does not work for half hour time zones like for example in India and secondly the time zone variation is subtracted when it needs to be added.

> !help
I need your help hacking the mainframe...there are several codes and riddles that have me stumped, but I know you're capable.
The system is behaving strangely and I fear I can no longer control it. I supsect shaper involvement.
From what I can tell, the hack is divided into five paths...it requires teamwork and I am but one man. Help me, and each path will unlock an invite code.
You can begin by typing !START
