Judging by the pictures in the first 'message' (which shows a baneling or something), it might have something to do with the secret missions in BW and SC2 (splicing the genes of zerg and protoss to create hybrids).

Secret missions, secret (supposedly) website and messages from (probably) fake scientists.

You will be the front line in scientific research dedicated to the protection and expansion of our empire of man throughout the Koprulu sector.

I think, The Blackstone itself is just Xel'naga artifact, which Narud steal in Flashpoint and now Dominion sientists are trying to research it and probably use against Protoss and Zerg.

I also wrote up some stuff about the source code:


I'm currently sifting through the source code. It looks like the content of the messages is returned via an ajax call from this URL: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=<stuff> but the page gives an error when you try to access it. This URL shows SOME of the content of week 1: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=week1 In fact, if you look at the source code for the above URL, you will see all of the content of the messages. However, the URL for week2 does not work at all: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=week2 The source code just stops abruptly, indicating a serverside scripting error that ceased returning the page.
Here is a link to the second article, access to which is denied: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/?article=week2
The messages are loaded using a simple javascript call. You can open up your browser's developer console and paste this:
blackstone.message.load("week1", "article", 0);
You'll see the animation for loading the first message.
If you try to do
blackstone.message.load("week2", "article", 0);
you get errors.
I have not yet found more information on these errors.
This load function is basically an ajax call to the page I linked at the top of this comment (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=<stuff>). The <stuff> gets replaced by the first argument of the message.load() function.
The main javascript source code can be found here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/js/blackstone/blackstone.js?v25
It might be that the content is simply not loaded on the site yet, but we at least know that the new content will be released weekly.
Also, here's an image of larva: http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/01-larvae.jpg

Blizzard is having a tough time with the 3 that exist.

That said, if they introduced a fourth race, I predict everyone would switch to that race for about 3 months.

Might have nothing to do with it but Blizzard often makes references to other games and genres. Particularly 40k (space marines, anyone?). In 40k there are blackstone fortresses: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Blackstone_Fortress

A Blackstone Fortress is a massive starship of unknown origin, first used by the Imperium as a naval base, then used by the forces of Chaos as a weapon of mass-destruction.

so its just the three messages (in one message). If this was just released there looks like a lot of space for new messages to come. I'm kind of excited!

After all, they belong to the department of Dominion Xenostudies

This has the highest chance of accuracy of all the ideas suggested in this thread. Blizzard has a massive boner for Warhammer. Always has.

Why would you switch ? Stick to your race and farm wins against the noobs playing a race they don't know !

Not sure if you Guys found those already but:

http://eu.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/01-larvae.jpg
http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/02-zergling.jpg
http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/03-hydralisk.jpg
http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/04-mutalisk.jpg
http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/05-zealot.jpg

Note that the 5. one is named zealot, so I guess 6 is possibly a protoss or terran unit, too.
Too lazy trying them all though, sorry.
