Sure thing!
Unfortunately there is nothing for Snake Eater :-/
>Does this refer to the original Wisemen's committee formulated before WWII? And if so, are the Patriots funding Philanthropy by using the name of one of their original dead members as a proxy?
Here's the thing, I'm uncertain who Kojima intended for the Patriots to be at the time of its release. The Colonel had this to say:
>To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human. Over the past two hundred years -- A kind of consciousness formed layer by layer in the crucible of the White House. It's not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution --We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we.
I find this description fascinating. To anyone who has watched the Ghost in the Shell anime, it very much resembles the way the Puppet Master artificial intelligence came to life as a collective construct of information on the internet. Except in this sense, The Patriots are more of "Memetic Collective Conscious" of American culture--so to say--that achieved self-awareness.
In my opinion, who they were originally was irrelevant upon the game's completion. To expand further upon the Ghost in the Shell analogy, it was like Stand Alone Complex's Laughing Man incident. Who was the original Laughing Man? It doesn't matter. His memetic persona evolved and took on a life of its own. It'd be as useless as trying to deduce "Anonymous's" identity. The Patriots weren't individuals in the sense that the Colonel offered. They were the "discharge" in democracy that Kojima described in the Grand Game Plan.
This leads me to my other point. When the game named its "founders" as "The Wisemen's Committee," [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Wise-Men-Friends-World/dp/1476728828/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398120542&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Wisemen) came to mind. It seems like a stretch, but Kojima is also more well read than many of his fans or detractors realize. It also seems a little bit too coincidental that Olga adopted the alternate monicker of "Mr. X" under her Cyborg Ninja guise, when one of the more prominent "Wisemen" (George F. Kennan) wrote an influential article with the same pseudonym. Most of these chief figures, by the way, shaped the policies that made America what it is today.
And one other thing, about the Patriots being dead, these policies aren't just limited to "Wisemen." Some would say, as the Postmodernists do, that we've been heading in this direction for a long time beginning with the European Enlightenment. Apparently, Kojima wants to do a video game about "The Boss (The Joy)." It wouldn't surprise me if he revealed that different iterations of The Philosophers existed way before WWII.
Don't get the HD collection. It's fucking awful. They increased the draw distance and upscaled without fixing any of the texture maps or increasing the polygon counts for the base models. You can see the results of that here and here. Additionally, the color correction done for the HD collection is god awful.
My honest recommendation? Silent Hill is not a game for everbody - Japanese horror is an entirely different beast than American horror, and it's hit or miss unless you know for a fact that you're a fan of it. I'd say get Silent Hill on emulator, try it out (keeping in mind the shitty textures and shoddy controls are from the PS1 era and do get better and better with each release), and if you liked it, invest in SH2/3 for the PS2 and SH4 for the PS3. If you don't have either of those consoles, SH2/3/4 are all available on PC, but are quite shitty ports, so you'll have to use the fan patches to get around some notable issues (such as save erasing on SH2, glitchy theme park textures in SH3, etc.)
Here's some links to get you started:
I don't know what you're into, but here's some suggestions:
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare
Running with Scissors
Hell Bent for Leather
For the record, Meme Theory has lost traction as a science. [Example] (http://cfpm.org/jom-emit/2005/vol9/edmonds_b.html).
There are also a lot of issues in which "Memes" only work as metaphors for "ideas" and "signs" in a semiotic sense. In that way, it should only work within theories of literature. But it doesn't because the Humanities are kind of closed off from scientific communities and vice versa. (This is a different case for Japan. See this book for example. Another academic decided to concentrate on the relationship between literature and science with the novelist Kobo Abe. Kojima has repeatedly cited Abe as an influence on the Metal Gear Solid series).
On the other hand, Meme Theory evolved--so to say--into other areas like "Network Theory" and the digital humanities. Franco Moretti concentrates on a theory of literature that approaches it from a Darwinist and Evolutionary perspective. In all seriousness, narratives and "literature" are what MGS2 are about.
Here you go. You couldn't find it if you typed in something like "art of mgsv", you had to write something like "art of metal gear" instead, I presume that's why you couldn't see it.
Policenauts can be bought for Playstation One: Link
But I'm not sure if the Japanese version works with the PAL system in Europe.
Edit: Lunar Knights.. never heard. will check this out soon. thanks :-)
You probably saw something like this.
Amazon lists “new” copies first. If they’re in plastic still, they’re naturally expensive.
It's on amazon uk too!

There are only going to be 400 of these, so I wanted to make sure this subreddit got the link: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Metal-Gear-Solid-Limited/dp/1506702678/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1466331896&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=metgeainf-20&linkId=b355d0039657ec981253678058b585b3

Seem like just what you're looking for. The one in the first link is similar to the drop leg holster I have, it fit the offbrand airsoft Mk23'ish gun I had.
There's a mgs collection on vita that comes with 1-3. Here's an amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-HD-Collection/dp/B007FQUEZ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503096854&sr=8-1&keywords=metal%2Bgear%2Bsolid%2Bvita%2Bcollection&th=1

legacy of snake versionThe Legacy Collection
It's only $26 on Amazon now. It also comes with digital codes to get MGS1 and VR Missions.
And MGS V is only $16 on PS3 for the Day One version or $25 for PS4.
On that same note, Metal Gear Rising is less than $10, Ground Zeroes is less than $10 on PS3 and less than $17 on PS4.
Basically you can have the entire Metal Gear saga on PS3 for only about $60, the price of one* brand new game.
Of cause, in Japan, it actually was!
