==Eye Witness Accounts==<br />
"It all began when I met the person with a cellphone at the parking lot of the LA Police Academy. We then headed over to Echo Park to wait for the phone call (though I got us a little lost along the way). The phone call gave us directions to a nearby parking lot. We milled around in the parking lot for a while before they roped us off into a corner and handed out release forms. The release forms were very entertaining; they said that we didn't know where we were going or what we were doing and that we were over 18 and ok with being filmed. We were searched (all electronics were put back in the car) and then loaded on a rickety bus, in which all of the windows and doors had been blacked out. I was definitely afraid that the bus wasn't going to make it up some of the hills, and there were a few rough bumps. There was a guy with a hand held camera filming us on the bus.<br />
<br />
We pulled up to an abandoned warehouse; there were random people standing on the roof and around the entrance. We were led inside; there were more people inside, and AIR flags hanging from the roof. The people inside all had neat black shirts with white AIR flags on them. There also was a mural with the angel, the guy with the face mask, and the robot with a skull inside from the mural in London with "Art is Resistance" written on the bottom. There was a camera when we first walked in and then another one inside. Neil Czerno gave a talk about how we should give a shit and change the world. I was rather cynical about his talk at first, but he redeemed himself by noting that we shouldn't just blindly accept what he was saying and that we should change the world in small ways. He also told us that we were stupid for allowing them to herd us like cattle onto a bus to who knows where with no form of communication (and for carrying around cellphones like tracking devices) and that we'd be dead if they were really after us. After his talk, we were led over the river and through the woods (the warehouse complex was rather large). We were stopped briefly before we entered a room with many lights and lots of equipment.<br />
<br />
The opening notes of TBOTE began playing, and I was 3 feet away from Jeordie White on the far end of the line (and 10ft away from Trent Reznor, that's the closest that I'll ever get to NIN). There were about 50 people there, so it was a very small, intimate show. They then played Survivalism, Last, MOTP, WITT, and then The Frail. I'd honestly thought that I was going to have to wait six months or more to hear TBOTE, Survivalism, Last, and WITT live. There were people there filming the show with cameras, and Rob was taking shots of the band. There was a large AIR flag painted on the wall behind the band. I knew that something was going to happen because you could see flashing lights outside during The Frail. Policemen in riot gear (they looked like carbon copies of the ones in the Survivalism video) entered the building. They also had quite a few devices like firecrackers that made noises that sounded like gun shots and that sparked; I got a very good look at them because I was near the door that they used to enter. The resistance personnel pushed us out of the rooms after the cops entered. There seemed to be a few people detained, but I'm not quite sure how they were chosen, because the six people were all cell phone people with their guests. I should have known that something was going to happen after I saw the 20 song set list that included The Perfect Drug. We were herded back on the bus after a run through the complex and driven back to our cars.<br />
<br />
The people on the bus told us to be on the lookout for more graffiti, murals, and ads, and that they'd be in touch with the people with the cellphones."<br />

'''[http://www.themailstrom.com The Mailstrom]''' is a search engine in the [[Year Zero Research|World of Year Zero]] designed to evesdrop on messages contained in the [[Consolidated Mail Systems|Consolidated Mail System]].<br />
<br />
== Discovery ==<br />
<br />
The Mailstrom was found on a lithograph given at the listening party to those who pre ordered Year Zero (open the image in the highest resolution possible and look at the top left corner).<br />
<br />
== Website Content ==<br />
<br />
Following a link in the main page leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm this page] which provides the premise that the Mailstrom is a brute force means of evesdropping on communication that goes through Consolidated, the sole system of email service available to Americans in the near future of Year Zero.<br />
<br />
On this page we can find the following example login info:<br />
<br />
wreckage: gallows<br />
shard: Y3RG7J<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/gallows_Y3RG7J.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a page discussing informants and a possible link to Trinity Episcopalian (http://www.trinitychurch.us/), it is unknown if there is another website hidden in the meaning of this email communication at this time.<br />
<br />
At the Minneapolis Listening Party, some buttons were given out. Four buttons have been reported to date, containing another wreckage/shard retrieved from The Mailstrom. The following combination was found on two of them:<br />
<br />
wreckage: gasoline<br />
shard: UUu891<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/gasoline_UUu891.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a thread between a mother and representatives at the Bureau of Morality regarding access to her child.<br />
<br />
Those who attended the San Diego listening party obtained three more codes. There were two buttons that matched each other:<br />
<br />
wreckage: tumbrel<br />
shard: AD44Us<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/tumbrel_ad44us.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is apparently spam or junk mail. One program advertised is CitizenKing Max, which helps people boost their citizen points, which are needed in order to have an "Administration-approved character." The next program discussed is called ChildAssist, which is approved by the US Bureau of Morality, and it helps parents improve their child-rearing score.<br />
<br />
After each program is advertised, something called the NeroMod GX, is discussed. This devise can be used to modify any [[Nerochip]] of the third, fourth or fifth-C generation. Also it says that the NeroMod GX is the most preferred modification device by most celebrities and heads of state, implying that all citizens have the [[Nerochip]]. As a sales pitch, any citizen that purchases one of the programs advertised gets a free NeroMod GX.<br />
<br />
Chicago listening party attendees received buttons that contained the following codes:<br />
<br />
wreckage: wretched<br />
shard: Ypq2QQ<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/wretched_Ypq2QQ.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a letter of confessional from a soldier to a pastor. The soldier talks about his station in the Middle East and his growing aggravation with his surrounding and himself. Soldiers are given pills to keep them "hopped up." The author goes on to tell of how a boy, apparently working for the enemy, reported their position with a hidden GPS unit on his bike, so the soldier shot him. Yet he didn't shoot him, the pills did. Pills are creating a loss of free-will.<br />
<br />
Also, this e-mail leads us to believe that other terrorist attacks (or climate phenomena) has caused the abandoning of other US cities like Detroit, New Orleans and St. Louis. Also, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C3%BCksekova Yüksekova] is a province in Turkey, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urmia Urmia] is a district and city in northern Iran.<br />
<br />
Dallas attendees received buttons that matched to the following code:<br />
<br />
wreckage: fratricide<br />
shard: 774HZx<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/fratricide_774HZx.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a letter sent out to a group of people. Perhaps most notably is the reference to Stonewall. The Stonewall riots were a series of violent conflicts between New York City police officers and groups of gay and transgendered people that began on June 28, 1969, and lasted several days. Also called the Stonewall Rebellion or simply Stonewall, the clash was a watershed for the worldwide gay rights movement, as gay and transgendered people had never before acted together in such large numbers to forcibly resist police. This rebelious and perhaps now illegal community in Year Zero is indicated by abbreviations of names and a note to have the e-mail deleted as soon as it is read. The sender, Dorothy, gives information about a future meeting that will be held at Stonewall. Dorothy then speaks about to members of the organization C.U., who has just been arrested, and S.K., who's father is in the hospital from dehydration and has had his citizenship account "re-established". Dorothy or "Friends of Dorothy" is also commonly referenced to the gay icon Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz," further indicating involvement with the LGBT community. Perhaps Dorothy is also in reference to Dorothy Richardson, the first writer to publish an English-language novel using what was to become known as the stream-of-consciousness technique. This technique was also used by writers of the beat generation such as Jack Kerouac, who had close relations with Allen Ginsberg. Her thirteen novel sequence Pilgrimage is one of the great 20th century works of modernist and feminist literature in English. This is followed by a quote from the bible Matthew 5:44. The letter also includes the declaration, "God is the God of all."<br />
<br />
Direct quote of Matthew 5:44 (King James Version): ''But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.''<br />

This is an advertisement to hunt the last black bear from a company or organization called Omega Man, to someone with the name Bob. It is stated in the advertisement that to become an Omega Man you must kill the last remaining animal of a species, so far there have been Omega Men of Lynx, Snow Leopards, and Orangutangs.<br />
<br />
The film "The Omega Man" stars Charlton Heston who is a member of the national rifle association.<br />

The broken text in the background of this shard is "A Seperate Peace" by John Knowles<br />

This is a message from a Mindy Abington to a substitute teacher explaining how students are to write a summary about an incident involving a chinese child who died from staying up for 5 days at a backdoor cyber cafe. This is possibly a reference to [http://www.rlslog.net/obese-chinese-killed-by-nonstop-gaming/ this] or many of the other instances of deaths caused by excessive gaming.<br />

This is an e-mail between Brent Trunks, BoM, Director Federal District 45 and Kimberley Tellalian, BoM, Director Federal District. BoM being Bureau of Morality. It entails a series of messages exchanged between Dale Hajdik, BoM, Federal District 45<br />
and Kathleen Novak discussing a fellow student of Kathleen's that is suspected of subversion. The entire event comes to a head when Kathleen, sends her fellow student and ex-boyfriend, Heath Duncan Sandleben, to boot camp (as most young subversive citizens are). As a result she attempts suicide at the school they attend.<br />

This is a letter from Blake Bessarion of the Denver Animal Society discussing the mauling of Misha Delmore. Bessarion is discussing that the mauling of a 6-year-old child was caused by the systematic abuse of these animals on a large scale by the government. Dangerous dogs not allowed to be owned by citizens are used frequently by the government, including the dog that mauled Misha (it was let loose by police).<br />
<br />
The broken text in the background of this shard is "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien<br />
<br />
"First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack."<br />

This entry is an email from someone with the screen name of HarareMedic to Dr. Hunger Lazarini. The message is about what seems to be a shipment of human organs, and what is implied to contain children's organs due to the writer discussing him contacting orphanages that many have provided good products. Also the writer of the email tells Dr. Hunger Lazarini to not contact him by phone ever again unless it is for an extreme emergency, and to be discreet due to the AU investigators. Apparently the price of these 'products' is high.<br />

'''Note: Not work safe images contained within.''' This appears to be a future-version of a classic ad for penile enlargement, complete with mostly-naked female model to entice the reader, and unlike other mailstrom mails, it contains a return address, [mailto:penetratorxl@consolidatedmailsystems.com]. It ends with the cryptic message, "Reply with your interest in the subject line. Safe & discreet." Reading the first letters of each line of the mail reveals the true meaning of this mail: "nerochip extraction". Putting that as the subject line in a mail to the address gets the following reply:<br />
<br />
''If this is one of Willie’s friends or clients, Willie is in prison. I guess it was just more important to him to look after you than it was to take care of me & anna-marie. I hope you think it was worth it. I’m still waiting for the Glorious Resistance to send me a box of diapers and some baby food and job that pays more than minimum wage. Oh—right. Those jobs are for people who AREN’T married to dissidents.''<br />
<br />
If you reply to the email without "nerochip extraction" in the subject line you receive this message:<br />
"''Sales of PENETRATOR XL have been discontinued pending litigation.''".<br />

The email comes from an insurance company explaining to a father that his child’s medical condition and necessary surgery is not covered, although the child’s brain condition was the result of negligent arsenic disposal on the part of a now-dissolved company. Because the company is no longer in existence, the Limited Liability Law passed by Congress states that the child’s condition is now considered “An Act of God.” Acts of God are not covered under the insurance program.<br />
<br />
The hidden text in the background appears to be an excerpt from Noam Chomsky's [http://www.chomsky.info/books/power01.htm The Fate of an Honest Intellectual.]<br />
<br />
''He's now living in a little apartment somewhere in New York City, and he's a part-time social worker working with teenage drop-outs. Very promising scholar—if he'd done what he was told, he would have gone on and right now he'd be a professor somewhere at some big university. Instead he's working part-time with disturbed teenaged kids for a couple thousand dollars a year. That's a lot better than a death squad, it's true—it's a whole lot better than a death squad. But those are the techniques of control that are around.''<br />

This email shows an order confirmation for an online bookstore called Safe Choice. According to the store name and the fact that the books are USBM approved, this looks like a government controlled online bookstore.<br />

This email shows an advertisment from the Belize government about how American citizens can have their freedom in Belize. The email is classified as SPAM, but this is probably a result of the government controlled email system.<br />

This email is sent probably to the government by a news reporter. It's a forward of an email from someone who lives in Syria and it criticizes the USA and how they kill from afar and occupied countries like Iraq. He also says that if they kill his daughter, he'll become a suicide bomber.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
wreckage: belladonna<br />
shard: 3Mz3tU<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/belladonna_3Mz3tU.htm Link]<br />
<br />
Apparently found trough brute force.<br />
<br />
This email shows an email conversation between a daughter and a father. The father is going to work late and they'll have to dine alone. Apparently, her brother should've attented a vigil at school, but he didn't warn his father before so he was unable to show up.<br />
<br />
Then two suits come up to get them but they don't open the door and call their aunt. Then the police and two more people show up, and their aunt shows up at the same time. The two suits followed their aunt but she warned the cops who were there too, and in the middle of the confusion, she runs with the kids to their house.<br />
<br />
In the middle of the conversation, the daughter also says that this is probably not about the son missing the vigil, but about some "secret stuff" and sending people to New Zealand (probably something their father is involved with).<br />
<br />
It's also worth noticing, that the time from the father responses never change and stays always at 1:38 PM.<br />
<br />
The hidden text appears to be an excerpt from the Tony Kushner play, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_in_America "Angels in America."]<br />
<br />
''I see the universe, Joe, as a kind of sandstorm in outer space with winds of mega-hurricane velocity, but instead of grains of sand it's shards and splinters of glass.''<br />

<br />
== Image File Names ==<br />
<br />
The file names for the images that comprise the body of each e-mail message appear to be random numbers, but are in fact written in "leet-speak" with names appropriate to the subject of the e-mail (for example, the first image in the "fratricide" e-mail is named "fr4_7ri_cid3_01.jpg").<br />
<br />
Confirmed image files associated with unfound e-mails:<br />
<br />
sickle - [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_01.jpg 5ick13_01.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_02.jpg 5ick13_02.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_03.jpg 5ick13_03.jpg]<br />

This theory bends in some emails, however, since the filename doesn't match the wreckage name.<br />
<br />
bitter - [http://themailstrom.com/images/l457814ck834r_04.jpg l457814ck834r_04.jpg], read as "lastblackbear".<br />

A quote from the beginning of 1984 by George Orwell composes the broken text. <br />
<br />
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him."<br />

<br />
== Discovery ==<br />
<br />
The Mailstrom was found on a lithograph given at the listening party to those who pre ordered Year Zero (open the image in the highest resolution possible and look at the top left corner).<br />
<br />
== Website Content ==<br />
<br />
Following a link in the main page leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm this page] which provides the premise that the Mailstrom is a brute force means of evesdropping on communication that goes through Consolidated, the sole system of internet service available in the near future of Year Zero.<br />
<br />
On this page we can find the following example login info:<br />
<br />
wreckage: gallows<br />
shard: Y3RG7J<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/gallows_Y3RG7J.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a page discussing informants and a possible link to Trinity Episcopalian, it is unknown if there is another website hidden in the meaning of this email communication at this time.<br />
<br />
At the Minneapolis Listening Party, some buttons were given out. Four buttons have been reported to date, containing another wreckage/shard retrieved from The Mailstrom. The following combination was found on two of them:<br />
<br />
wreckage: gasoline<br />
shard: UUu891<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/gasoline_UUu891.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a thread between a mother and representatives at the Bureau of Morality regarding access to her child.<br />
<br />
Those who attended the San Diego listening party obtained three more codes. There were two buttons that matched each other:<br />
<br />
wreckage: tumbrel<br />
shard: AD44Us<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/tumbrel_ad44us.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is apparently spam or junk mail. One program advertised is CitizenKing Max, which helps people boost their citizen points, which are needed in order to have an "Administration-approved character." The next program discussed is called ChildAssist, which is approved by the US Bureau of Morality, and it helps parents improve their child-rearing score.<br />
<br />
After each program is advertised, something called the NeroMod GX, is discussed. This devise can be used to modify any [[Nerochip]] of the third, fourth or fifth-C generation. Also it says that the NeroMod GX is the most preferred modification device by most celebrities and heads of state, implying that all citizens have the [[Nerochip]]. As a sales pitch, any citizen that purchases one of the programs advertised gets a free NeroMod GX.<br />
<br />
Chicago listening party attendees received buttons that contained the following codes:<br />
<br />
wreckage: wretched<br />
shard: Ypq2QQ<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/wretched_Ypq2QQ.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a letter of confessional from a soldier to a pastor. The soldier talks about his station in the Middle East and his growing aggravation with his surrounding and himself. Soldiers are given pills to keep them "hopped up." The author goes on to tell of how a boy, apparently working for the enemy, reported their position with a hidden GPS unit on his bike, so the soldier shot him. Yet he didn't shoot him, the pills did. Pills are creating a loss of free-will.<br />
<br />
Also, this e-mail leads us to believe that other terrorist attacks (or climate phenomena) has caused the abandoning of other US cities like Detroit, New Orleans and St. Louis. Also, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C3%BCksekova Yüksekova] is a province in Turkey, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urmia Urmia] is a district and city in northern Iran.<br />
<br />
Dallas attendees received buttons that matched to the following code:<br />
<br />
wreckage: fratricide<br />
shard: 774HZx<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/fratricide_774HZx.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a letter sent out to a group of people. The group is likely rebelious and illegal indicated by abbreviations of names and a note to have the e-mail deleted as soon as it is read. The sender, Dorothy, gives information about a future meeting that will be held at Stonewall. Dorothy then speaks about to members of the organization C.U., who has just been arrested, and S.K., who's father is in the hospital from dehydration and has had his citizenship account "re-established". This is followed by a quote from the bible Matthew 5:44. The letter also includes the declaration, "God is the God of all."<br />
<br />
Direct quote of Matthew 5:44 (King James Version): ''But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.''<br />
<br />

wreckage: wetwork<br />
shard: c276e4<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/wetwork_c276e4.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is a response to a question by an unknown individual from an unknown individual. The page lists ways to absorb liquids into the body without ingesting parepin. Methods included are: collect rainwater, drink milk, avoid icecubes, and drink only mexican beer.<br />
<br />
wreckage: bitter<br />
shard: BGtg57<br />
<br />
[http://www.themailstrom.com/bitter_BGtg57.htm Link]<br />
<br />
This is an advertisement to hunt the last black bear from a company or organization called Omega Man, to someone with the name Bob. It is stated in the advertisement that to become an Omega Man you must kill the last remaining animal of a species, so far there have been Omega Men of Lynx, Snow Leopards, and Orangutangs.<br />
<br />
The film "The Omega Man" stars Charlton Heston who is a member of the national rifle association.<br />
<br />
The broken text in the background of this shard is "A Seperate Peace" by John Knowles<br />
<br />
"...I felt fear's echo, and along with that I felt the unhinged, uncontrollable joy which had been its accompaniment and opposite face, joy which had broken out sometimes in those days like Northern Lights across black sky..."<br />
<br />
wreckage: slander<br />
shard: Yr4893<br />
<br />
This lead brings you [http://www.themailstrom.com/slander_Yr4893.htm here]. It is a message from a Mindy Abington to a substitute teacher explaining how students are to write a summary about an incident involving a chinese child who died from staying up for 5 days at a backdoor cyber cafe.<br />
<br />
wreckage: flense<br />
shard: E5PPvv<br />
<br />
Leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/flense_E5PPvv.htm here]. It's an e-mail between Brent Trunks, BoM, Director Federal District 45 and Kimberley Tellalian, BoM, Director Federal District. BoM being Bureau of Morality. It entails a series of messages exchanged between Dale Hajdik, BoM, Federal District 45<br />
and Kathleen Novak discussing a fellow student of Kathleen's that is suspected of subversion. The entire event comes to a head when Kathleen, sends her fellow student and ex-boyfriend, Heath Duncan Sandleben, to boot camp (as most young subversive citizens are). As a result she attempts suicide at the school they attend.<br />
<br />
wreckage: pliers<br />
shard: Ji3p09<br />
<br />
The entry takes you [http://www.themailstrom.com/pliers_Ji3p09.htm here]. It is a letter from Blake Bessarion of the Denver Animal Society discussing the mauling of Misha Delmore. Bessarion is discussing that the mauling of a 6-year-old child was caused by the systematic abuse of these animals on a large scale by the government. Dangerous dogs not allowed to be owned by citizens are used frequently by the government, including the dog that mauled Misha (it was let loose by police).<br />
<br />
wreckage: corrida<br />
shard: MKs742 <br />
<br />
Takes you [http://www.themailstrom.com/corrida_MKs742.htm here]. A letter from someone with the moniker: WildSpirit85. It talks about the presence not being a sign of the end of the world, but of a new beginning.<br />
<br />
The broken text in the background is taken from the play "Equus" by Peter Shaffer.<br />
<br />
Hindu teachings typically end with the words Om shanti shanti shanti as an invocation of peace, and the mantra is also used to conclude some Buddhist devotional ceremonies. [http://www.thepeacebeads.com/prayers/omshanti.htm Source]<br />
<br />
"There is now, in my mouth, this sharp chain. And it never comes out"<br />
(This is the last line in the play.)<br />
<br />
wreckage: atropine<br />
shard: gH319x<br />
<br />
Entry leads [http://www.themailstrom.com/atropine_gH319x.htm here]. It's an advertisement for Green Bay. Present-day Green Bay is cold, but in the world of Year Zero, the climate is warm enough to be a viable spring break destination.<br />
<br />
== Buttons ==<br />
<br />
At the Year Zero listening parties, buttons have become available that have codes for either the wreckage or the shard. Here is the complete list of buttons. New finds are highlighted.<br />

== Hidden Numbers ==<br />
24.1.1 on the main page.<br />
<br />
== Image File Names ==<br />
<br />
The file names for the images that comprise the body of each e-mail message appear to be random numbers, but are in fact written in "leet-speak" with names appropriate to the subject of the e-mail (for example, the first image in the "fratricide" e-mail is named "fr4_7ri_cid3_01.jpg").<br />
<br />
Confirmed image files associated with unfound e-mails:<br />
<br />
sickle - [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_01.jpg 5ick13_01.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_02.jpg 5ick13_02.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5ick13_03.jpg 5ick13_03.jpg]<br />
<br />
spore - [http://themailstrom.com/images/5p0r3_01.jpg 5p0r3_01.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5p0r3_02.jpg 5p0r3_02.jpg], [http://themailstrom.com/images/5p0r3_03.jpg 5p0r3_03.jpg]<br />
<br />
== Hidden Text ==<br />
A quote from the beginning of 1984 by George Orwell composes the broken text. <br />
<br />
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him."<br />

<br />
==The Theories==<br />
===Dates===<br />
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates, <br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024<br />
<br />
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed:<br />
- "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022.<br />
- The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.<br />
<br />
===[[Year Zero Bible References|Bible Verses]]===<br />
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.<br />
<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />
<br />
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.<br />
<br />
Another theory corresponds to the first, where numbers stand for clues so as to keep the fans deciphering on track. Since there are so many letters to fill in, it's possible that we are left with a few at the end. It could be that the letters ''left over'' would be the anagram.<br />
<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />
<br />
References to books like The Stand, and Slaughter House 5, have led some to believe that possibly these books are the clues given by the numbers. The Stand (reissuing of the expanded version) is the 24th book Stephen King has written.<br />
<br />
===Halos===<br />
The numbers could form a soundtrack for the World of Year Zero, seeing as they fit very well with the context of each location they are found. The 24 section of each number could mean that they should be viewed from the perspective of Year Zero.<br />

Found on the billboard underneath a bridge<br />
<br />
[[Category:World of Year Zero]]<br />
<br />
==The Theories==<br />
===Dates===<br />
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates, <br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024<br />
<br />
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed:<br />
- "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022.<br />
- The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.<br />
<br />
===[[Year Zero Bible References|Bible Verses]]===<br />
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.<br />
<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />
<br />
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.<br />
<br />
Another theory corresponds to the first, where numbers stand for clues so as to keep the fans deciphering on track. Since there are so many letters to fill in, it's possible that we are left with a few at the end. It could be that the letters ''left over'' would be the anagram.<br />
<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />
<br />
References to books like The Stand, and Slaughter House 5, have led some to believe that possibly these books are the clues given by the numbers. The Stand (reissuing of the expanded version) is the 24th book Stephen King has written.<br />

==Discovery==<br />
<br />
This site was found via a billboard underneath a bridge. The location of the bridge was given in an Art Is Resistance flier handed out at the 3/11/2007 show in London. The billboard had Operation Swamp 0000 written on it. A site was found when .net was added to "operationswamp0000"<br />
<br />
==Content==<br />
<br />
This site appears to have been constructed by one of the "chip-pullers" mentioned on [[Operation Chip Sweep]]. It contains detailed instructions, complete with photographs, on safe removal of a [[nerochip]] from one's own body. The anonymous author claims to have been a paramedic or EMT, and insists, "Don't think for yourself, it's not your strong suit. Just do EXACTLY what I fucking tell you."<br />
<br />
The interesting thing about this site is that it is quite obviously based in England, revealing that in the world of Year Zero, the shift to totalitarianism previously thought to be occurring only in the United States is apparently spreading elsewhere.<br />
<br />
This site also mentions something called Operation Chip Sweep, which led to another website, also apparently based in England.<br />

[[Category:World of Year Zero]]<br />
<br />
==The Theories==<br />
===Dates===<br />
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates, <br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024<br />
<br />
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed:<br />
- "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022.<br />
- The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.<br />
<br />
===[[Year Zero Bible References|Bible Verses]]===<br />
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.<br />
<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />
<br />
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.<br />
<br />
Another theory corresponds to the first, where numbers stand for clues so as to keep the fans deciphering on track. Since there are so many letters to fill in, it's possible that we are left with a few at the end. It could be that the letters ''left over'' would be the anagram.<br />
<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />
<br />
References to books like The Stand, and Slaughter House 5, have led some to believe that possibly these books are the clues given by the numbers. The Stand (reissuing of the expanded version) is the 24th book Stephen King has written.<br />
<br />
===Halos===<br />
The numbers could form a soundtrack for the World of Year Zero, seeing as they fit very well with the context of each location they are found. The 24 section of each number could mean that they should be viewed from the perspective of Year Zero.<br />

<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />
<br />
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.<br />
<br />
Another theory corresponds to the first, where numbers stand for clues so as to keep the fans deciphering on track. Since there are so many letters to fill in, it's possible that we are left with a few at the end. It could be that the letters ''left over'' would be the anagram.<br />
<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />
<br />
References to books like The Stand, and Slaughter House 5, have led some to believe that possibly these books are the clues given by the numbers. The Stand (reissuing of the expanded version) is the 24th book Stephen King has written.<br />
<br />
===Halos===<br />
The numbers could form a soundtrack for the World of Year Zero, seeing as they fit very well with the context of each location they are found. The 24 section of each number could mean that they should be viewed from the perspective of Year Zero.<br />

<br />
==The Theories==<br />
===Dates===<br />
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates, <br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024<br />
<br />
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed:<br />
- "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022.<br />
- The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.<br />
<br />
===[[Year Zero Bible References|Bible Verses]]===<br />
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.<br />
<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />

<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />

The numbers could form a soundtrack for the World of Year Zero, seeing as they fit very well with the context of each location they are found. The 24 section of each number could mean that they should be viewed from the perspective of Year Zero.<br />

<br />
==The Theories==<br />
===Dates===<br />
The first big theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates, <br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024<br />
<br />
However, there are several reasons why this theory is flawed:<br />
- "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022.<br />
- The frequency of the second number does not lend well to the theory.<br />
<br />
===[[Year Zero Bible References|Bible Verses]]===<br />
The second big theory came when it was discovered that in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible], verses from the 24th book, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah], offered a fitting undertone to the overall story.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2.<br />
<br />
So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero Tracklisting===<br />
The current big theory is that the numbers equate to characters from the Year Zero song titles.<br />
<br />
For example: 24.14.2 would translate as: Halo 24 (Year Zero), song 14 ([[Another Version of the Truth (song)|Another Version of the Truth]]), character 2 (n)<br />
<br />
In this theory, it's unsure what the purpose of the numbers would be.<br />
<br />
So far, the best theory to have arisen is as follows:<br />
<br />
If each code represents halo.track.letter (example: 24.01.1 would be "H"), then things seem a bit too easy because, hey, we automatically know every code, from 24.01.1 to 24.16.8. There may be another step. Currently, there are graphics on [http://yearzero.nin.com yearzero.nin.com] that appear a bit weird, so to speak. Off to the left there is some noise, and around the track "My Violent Heart" there is an odd pattern. These exact same graphics are found on churchofplano.com. Since 24.10.2 is the only code on there, it's reasonable to suspect that O (the letter that 24.10.2 goes with) is the first letter in the puzzle. The next site to use these graphics will be the next letter, and so on. <br />
<br />
Thus far the corresponding letters to the entries, in order, given on this site, are "surgodgiventhanoinw". The phrase "god given" is clearly readable in the message. As other clues are found and other letters are derived, perhaps a clearer message will emerge.<br />
<br />
At the very least, it gives a definite scope of the number of clues which may exist, assuming there is a number for each clue.<br />
<br />
Another theory corresponds to the first, where numbers stand for clues so as to keep the fans deciphering on track. Since there are so many letters to fill in, it's possible that we are left with a few at the end. It could be that the letters ''left over'' would be the anagram.<br />
<br />
===Federal Orderly Conduct Act===<br />
<br />
The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act.<br />
<br />
This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, until a copy of the Act is released or leaked.<br />
<br />
===The Stand or other books===<br />
Due to the new clues, 24.19.X, it is unlikely the numbers are referring to the 19th track of YearZero, since there isn't one.<br />
<br />
References to books like The Stand, and Slaughter House 5, have led some to believe that possibly these books are the clues given by the numbers. The Stand (reissuing of the expanded version) is the 24th book Stephen King has written.<br />
<br />
===Halos===<br />
The numbers could form a soundtrack for the World of Year Zero, seeing as they fit very well with the context of each location they are found. The 24 section of each number could mean that they should be viewed from the perspective of Year Zero.<br />

"'''The Beginning Of The End'''" is the second track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]]''.<br />
<br />
===Leak===<br />
On March 2, 2007 at around 4pm PST. "The Beginning of the End" was played on Jed the Fish's program on KROQ as his "Catch of the Day." Early the next morning, after the song was played again on KROQ, a radio-quality rendition of the track began to circulate the internet.

==Lyrics==<br />
Down on your knees,<br />
You'll be left behind.<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
Watch what you think,<br />
They can read your mind.<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
I got my moxie, and in my eyes<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
Well, my reflection I don't recognize<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
We think we've climbed so high<br />
Up all the backs we've come down.<br />
We'll face the consequence.<br />
This is the beginning of the end.<br />
<br />
You wait your turn,<br />
you'll be last in line.<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
Get out the way,<br />
Cause I'm getting mine.<br />
This is the beginning<br />
There are some ones,<br />
That can help themselves.<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
May be too late, <br />
As far as I can tell.<br />
This is the beginning.<br />
We think we've come so far,<br />
On all our lies we depend.<br />
They say no consequence.<br />
This is the beginning of the end.<br />

This is the beginning.<br />

<hr />
<div>Opal is supposedly “the new crack,” as it is cheaper to distribute and more widely available. According to the woman in [[Opalo.mp3]], this drug’s main distribution source is America itself. <br />
<br />
More information about opal can be found in a message on [[Consolidated Mail Systems]][http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant/] from [[Angry Sniper]] to No One Important. The following information was taken from a memo possesed by a police officer.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><p>'''<big>Opal:</big>''' opalo, crowbar, doors, dunk, juice, pearl</p><br />
<br />
Opal (hycephamitamyn) Opal is commonly distributed as a black liquid. The most potent and efficient form of ingestion is intravenous. Opal conveniently comes in a small glass "I-VIAL" - a 1.5" small glass cylinder about the diameter of a small drinking straw with a small red cap at each end. Removing the cap on one end reveals a ready-to-insert 1/4" sterile needle, the other end reveals a trigger to release the pressurized contents directly into the bloodstream.<br />
<br />
In middle and upper class populations, users drop or inject into the eye. This temporarily turns the whites of the eyes black. <br />
<br />
Although most Opal users are standard drug abusers, a sizable minority feel that the drug produces a special, quasi-religious experience.<br />
<br />
''Opal is an extraordinary visionary awakener, it is not a recreational drug. It produces a profoundly introspective state of awareness that is useful for meditation, contemplation, and self-reflection. Its effects are unique and cannot be compared with the effects of other drugs. In the right setting, if you are prepared Opal is a shamanistic drug that will broaden your mind so you can experience a bigger totality of experience. Occasionally, opal users will experience the dark side of that totality and feel the rape of Gala from man's greed and short-sightedness. Users have reported that they feel diseased, or that they feel the presence of a larger being holding them accountable for the sins of humanity against the planet<sup>1</sup>.''<br />
<br />
Opal can produce euphoric and hallucinogenic effects. In addition, it may generate many of the same toxic effects seen with other stimulants such as cocaine. Many US emergency departments (EDs) now treat as many opal-intoxicated patients as methamphetamine-intoxicated or cocaine-intoxicated patients. Changes in mood, excitation, motor movements, sensory perception, and appetite appear to be mediated by central dopaminergic alterations. Serotonin alterations contribute to the amphetamine-related mood changes and psychotic behavior. Organic compounds stimulating limbic centers cause dream-like hallucinations.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<sup>1</sup> From Opalescent Haze, an "underground" user site that has been allowed to run to provide law enforcement with a resource to identify users. Like heroin, cocaine, or methampetamine users, opal users a naturally self-limiting population regulated primarily by disease, overdose and the toxic effects of the lifestyle and drug abuse. Most will probably either "get clean" in about five to ten years or dies. However, since they are obviously guilty of drug abuse and subversive browsing, users from the site can usually be coerced into providing intelligence and information on other users and criminals they are in contact with. </blockquote><br />
<br />
The following post, from lovemonger of [[Another Version of the Truth (website)|Another Version of the Truth]], implies that Opal induces visions of [[The Presence]], as described by Opalescent Haze:<br />
<blockquote> <p>Opal puts you in touch with it. I’ve been on the spike for the past four years. I stole money from my grandma, got caught, did it again anyway, just to cop. For the last couple months, it’s been too hard so I went to Opal.</p><br />
<br />
I saw the Presence yesterday. At first I knew it was the drug, just gripping me, you know? And I laughed. Then the Presence turned around, like it was LOOKING for me. </blockquote><br />

<hr />
<div>The official subsection of the nin.com website pertaining to [[Year Zero]].<br />
<br />
== Track Listing ==<br />
<br />
When the website went live, it contained only a portion of the image displayed now, and instead of song titles, there was a vertical list of zeros. The length of this list changed frequently, along with the number of zeros in each entry. This was the first indication that something strange was happening in regards to [[Year Zero]].<br />
<br />
Eventually, the listing stopped changing and 16 entries were left. Over the next week or so, three titles were revealed, one at a time: The Beginning of the End, God Given, and Vessel. By this point, fans were already wildly speculating what would happen next.<br />
<br />
On February 12, 2007, echoingthesound.org user ianmatthews posted a track list he found from Soulseek. Soon after, the remaining 13 titles were revealed on yearzero.nin.com. It is not known whether or not this was intentional or if it was simply a reaction to the track listing leak.<br />
<br />
This part of the page is unlikely to change, since it is now set in stone.<br />
<br />
== Hidden Images ==<br />
<br />
The page uses an imagemap to conceal a great deal of hidden links which, when clicked on, display images presumably from the recording sessions for [[Year Zero]].<br />
<br />
There are links to 11 images: [http://yearzero.nin.com/img/03.html 03.jpeg],<br />

<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
As events happen relating to the world of Year Zero, certain sections of the background are revealed. Speculation is far-spread about the actual content of the image, but nothing is yet certain.<br />
<br />
The only real indication that the background is linked to developments in the ARG is that a section next to "My Violent Heart" was revealed shortly before the MP3 was leaked.<br />
