There is a lot going on regarding the new [[Nine Inch Nails]] album, [[Year Zero]], and [[Year Zero Research|its concept]]. This serves to inform new and old users alike of the latest developments. According to [[Trent Reznor]], [[Year Zero]] takes place about 15 years in the future, which would be 2022. There is a [[Year Zero Timeline]] being compiled.<br />
<br />
On February 12th, 2007, a series of highlighted letters were found on a [http://www.ninwiki.com/Image:Iamtryingtobelievetourshirt.jpg Nine Inch Nails tour shirt] which spell out the words "I am trying to believe," leading users to [[I Am Trying To Believe|iamtryingtobelieve.com]]. This site details numerous things going on in this time line, such as the [[Parepin]] drug and [[The Presence]]. Using the [[Year Zero|track list to the album]], people discovered [[Year Zero Research|numerous related websites]].<br />
<br />
The first of these additional websites, [[Another Version of the Truth (website)|anotherversionofthetruth.com]], displays what looks to be a propaganda poster. Clicking and dragging portions of the image reveals it "tears away" into a much more negative image, linking to a message board in which users have been discussing various aspects of society, including handing out links to various [[Another Version of the Truth (website)|audio files]] and links to [[Be the Hammer|other related websites]].<br />
<br />
More [[Year Zero Research|websites have popped up]] through context, giving more information as to what is happening in the universe and specifying more details, opening up more puzzles, and inspiring the community to dig deeper to explore more of this world.<br />
<br />
On February 14th, 2007, [[My Violent Heart|"My Violent Heart"]], track eight of [[Year Zero]], was "leaked" to the Internet. On February 15th, the first single, [[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]], was played on KROQ radio and then other radio stations throughout the day, marking its official air date, over a week ahead of schedule. A full-quality rip soon ended up on the Internet.<br />
<br />
On February 19th, 2007, "[[Me, I'm Not]]", track six of [[Year Zero]] was "leaked" via another USB drive found in Barcelona, Spain. Along with the the song was another [[2432.mp3|file]] that when ran through a spectograph analyzer revealed the phone number [[12163331810|1-216-333-1810]], which in turn led us to the [[U.S. Wiretap]] Website.<br />
On February 22nd, 2007, a new site called "[[Art is Resistance]]" appeared on the web, giving links to downloadables such as forum avatars, wallpapers, stencils, and stickers. This site heavily showcases the resistance flag, which was seen (perhaps even hinted at) on a [http://www.nin.com/current/photos/2_21_07.jpg photo of Trent] at nin.com the previous day. Also, a few hours after this site was revealed, the [[Year Zero]] website was updated with a teaser video and the finalized album cover.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yearzero_cover.jpg|thumb|200px|Cover for Year Zero]]<br />
On February 25th, 2007, several fans noticed a "glitch" next to the song "[[In This Twilight]]" on yearzero.nin.com. Later that night, an [[Echoing the Sound|ETS]] member found a USB key at a concert in the UK. He handed it off to a friend who contacted several sources online to host the song and image which were on the USB key. Later, another website, [[Hollywood in Memoriam]], was discovered.<br />
<br />
On February 27th, [[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]] was released, and a new website was found through images in the booklet, [[Solutions Backwards Initiative]], which also lead to [[Secure Broadcast Informatics]].<br />
<br />
On March 3th, a different AIR flier was handed out at the show in London which led fans to a billboard and two new websites, [[Operation Swamp 0000]] and [[Operation Chip Sweep]].<br />
<br />
On March 7th, 2007, several USB drives given out before the Nine Inch Nails concert in London were revealed to contain both the high-resolution and low-resolution versions of the "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]" video. The video had led to the discovery of three more sites - [[The Water Turned To Blood]], [[Judson Ogram Correctional Facility]], and [[Cedocore]].<br />
<br />
When fans pre-ordered [[Year Zero]] at listening parties, they received a lithograph. Hidden in the lithograph was another web site - [[The Mailstrom]]. Several "Wreckage/Shard" combinations have been discovered through various means, including buttons given out at other listening parties.<br />
<br />
Countless NIN fans were sent [[The Price Of Treason|an email]] on March 27th, 2007, leading to the discovery of two new sites -- [[The Price of Treason]] and [[Open Source Resistance]]. It is unknown how the list of recipients was compiled, although theories indicate it was a combined subset of Spiral Members, NIN Newsletter subscribers, and those who sent emails to various addresses involved in the ARG.<br />
<br />
Around April 5th, [[Year Zero]] leaked on the web, and a new website was found through one of the songs: [[Grace The Teacher]]. It was also found out who [[Darren Kroupa]] really was. Also around the same time, two websites that still look nonfunctional were found: [[Exterminal]] and [[Free Rebel Art]].<br />
<br />
On April 7th a new website, [[Red Horse Vector]] was found through distorted voice on [[The Great Destroyer]], a song from the new album.<br />
<br />
On April 9th, a new phone number was discovered on the cover of the album at the distribution center it was being stored at, days prior to it's official release. Below the United States Bureau Of Morality logo [http://www.ninwiki.com/images/2/25/USBM_WARNING.jpg on the back casing], is this number: [[18664456580]]. Calling this number plays a pre-recorded message with a very bold message, warning you that you are in possession of illegal materials.<br />
<br />
On April 12th, an email went out to [[Open Source Resistance]] subscribers. It gave a location of a new mural, and told people to meet under the pig and follow the revolver to a van on April 13th(Friday). They are told to wear something that shows their affiliation and to be inconspicuous. The writing on the mural lead to a new site: [[One Country At A Time]] which has a short graphic novel about a group of soldiers in Syria.<br />
<br />
At the April 13th meeting, the men in the van gave everyone ammunition boxes filled with Resistance propaganda (fliers, stencils, buttons, stickers) and some people received boxes with cell phones. The phones had a note: "If you are 18 or over, and will be in the Los Angeles area Wednesday, April 18th we need you. If not, give this hardware to someone else. This phone is your membership card to the resistance. Within the next few days, we will use it to contact you with details of this first resistance meeting. It will get you and one friend through the door. Keep it charged, and keep it with you at all times. Most importantly, there are only 100 minutes on these phones, so use them up and you'll be SOL. We'll be in touch."<br />
<br />
On April 14, [[Viability Index]] was discovered.<br />
<br />
Also on April 14, the cellphones handed out at the April 13th meeting started ringing. The person who answered was asked a series of questions by a person with a very stern voice: <br />
* Name<br />
* Meaning of "OSR"<br />
* Location previous night and reason for being there<br />
* If they understood what the phone was for<br />
* Asked to read back instructions that came with the phone<br />
* Asked if they understood this and urged to take it seriously<br />
* Instructed to keep the phone with them at all times and to expect another call shortly<br />
* Asked if they were bringing a guest and if they were over 18<br />
<br />
On April 15th, [[Mining For Life]] was found early through google's cache. The site was labeled as a Pilgrim Stream In Transit.<br />
<br />
As of April 15th, the sites assumed to become active on the 17th are active.<br />
<br />
On April 18th, a live concert video was released on the [[Open Source Resistance]] site. The video catalogues the OSR meeting that occured, including a speech from Neil Czerno and a mini-concert by Nine Inch Nails that is broken up by a SWAT team. See [[2007/04/18 LA]] for full details.<br />
<br />
The [[Year Zero Research|Year Zero Research Page]] is being constantly updated to track recent developments, theories, and essentially organize the [[Year Zero]] events into a cohesive storyline. Check out the [[Research Timeline]] to see how the events unfolded.<br />

== Discovery ==<br />
<br />
'''Operation Chip Sweep'''[http://www.operationchipsweep.net/] is mentioned on [[Operation Swamp 0000]].<br />
<br />
== Website Content ==<br />
<br />
The website seems like part of a bigger news website. It talks about an operation prepared to capture the "chip pullers" which are gathering in Brixton and causing unrest. It also explains how and why the chips started being implanted into criminals.<br />
<br />
When the police tried to capture and arrest the "chip pullers", rioting started and some police mistakes gave way to more widespread violence.<br />
<br />

<br />
The URL for this website was found on a [http://www.ninwiki.com/images/9/91/Resistancepk0.jpg red flyer] at the Feb. 22, 2007 show in Paris, France. The logos shown on the site are consistent with the [http://www.nin.com/current/photos/2_21_07.jpg 2_21_07] image posted on the nin.com/current site. <br />

<br />
<br />
===External Links===<br />
There are two known links on the main page. The first links to a previously undiscovered thread on [[Another Version of the Truth (website)]]. The second links to a 'tools' page which provides downloads of the [[Resistance Logo]] in various formats. <br />
<br />
==Theories==<br />
"You think spray painting shit is going to make a fucking difference? All this art <br />
crap might make you feel better, but the cops are laughing their asses off as they <br />
haul you to jail. You want to make a difference, switch from .38 to .45, assholes. " - TheWarden<br />
<br />
This may relate to biblical passages:<br />
<br />
38: John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
45: And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. <br />
<br />
''note: both the .38 and the .45 are gun types. the above biblical references are probably not relevant. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.''<br />
<br />
"b. Jan 10, 1967<br />
d. Apr 19, 1995<br />
<br />
<br />
My mom. <br />
<br />
Explain it to me, Warden. " - soonerlater<br />
<br />
These dates could be a phone number, or manipulated to find the next clue.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Another way to look at the numbers is that .38 to .45 is a reference to gun calibers, and not religion. Suggesting TheWarden wants them to amp up the damage.<br />
<br />
The dates given by soonerlater about his mothers death may link to the fact that on the 19th of April 1995 a truck bomb at a federal building in Oklahoma City exploded, killing 168 in an anti-government movement. This seems to fit in with the idea that some people on the thread are choosing to show their resistance through art and not violence due to the loss of innocent life violent events can cause.<br />
<br />
Info on this event can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing<br />
<br />
Something else worth mentioning is that CazzazaKid says "he just wanted to tell us AIR has flatlined, not start WW4", suggesting that World War 3 has already happened.<br />
<br />
Also note that the Artist topic linked via the Art Is Resistance website contains text in the background which when compiled is the same passage from Slaughterhouse-Five found on the Wire-Tap website.<br />
<br />
Check out the discussion page for this article for further theories and speculation.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''Another point to ponder...'''<br />
<br />
President Lyndon B. Johnson's State of the Union address:<br />
<br />
Jan. 10, 1967: ...We have chosen to fight a limited war in Vietnam in an attempt to prevent a larger war--a war almost certain to follow, I believe, if the Communists succeed in overrunning and taking over South Vietnam by aggression and by force. I believe, and I am supported by some authority, that if they are not checked now the world can expect to pay a greater price to check them later.<br />

2.24.07<br />
A hidden link in the lower center part of the [http://symphonyofnoise.com/nails/yearzero/ Symphony of Noise] webpage revealed and confirmed the album art for Year Zero. It is essentially the same image that was previously released, however it contains "Nine Inch Nails: Year Zero" in the top left hand corner. <i>NOTE: Symphony of Noise is a fan site, so the different cover version is most likely fan art.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2.22.07<br />
New leads are coming in fast and heavy now.<br />
1. First, after the show in Paris, France, a new site was discovered thanks to a "red flyer" that was distributed. The site is [[Art Is Resistance]] or http://artisresistance.com.<br />
<br />
2.Then, on the AIR site, there are many links, pages and even some downloads like avatars. All incorporate the [[Resistance Logo]], which can also be seen on Trent's latest concert jacket.<br />
<br />
3. A video is posted on http://yearzero.nin.com, showing among other little hidden bits, a video of [[The Presence]].<br />
<br />
4. Finally, the newest news: http://yearzero.nin.com/0024 reveals the album cover for Year Zero.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Currently, there are a few new leads. (And a new song!)<br />
<br />
1. [[U.S. Wiretap]], a brand new website that was found as a result of typing in the government agency refered to on:<br />
<br />
2. [[12163331810]], a new phone number that was found through a spectrograph of file:<br />
