Judson Ogram Correctional Facility
Discovered using the Survivalism video. http://www.judsonogram.net/. Judson Ogram is a correctional institution, referring to it's inmate populous as "offenders". However, indications suggest that Judson Ogram does not differentiate between criminals and people with psychological dysfunction.
Examination of profiles at Judson Ogram indicates that antipsychotic substances are needlessly used on inmates, displaying no signs of elevated excitement, self harm or psychotic tendancies. Speculation would suggest that this is to make inmates so docile that they are willing to accept the mistreatment that goes on inside the facility - indeed, the staff page suggests that inmates are used as guinea pigs for the pharmaceutical outfit Cedocore, leading to the discovery that Cedocore's "Xerimax" product causes renal damange and pulmonary edema.

The number located on the index page of Judson Ogram is 24.16.2.
Inmate case reports
A login form can be located at the bottom of the staff page.
John Ferminger
The first login for this staff page was found by visiting [The_Water_Turned_To_Blood|The Water Turned To Blood], wherein an inmate number was displayed for "John of Boston", as well as a potential password of "francesca" hidden in two blocks of text on the home page. This was used in combination with the name "Preston Gantry", read off of the staff badge of a psychiatrist displayed in the staff listing.
The combination lead us to the first report, that of John Ferminger, or "John of Boston".

Moira Waag
On 15th March, group analysis of the sample "Survivalism Our End Trip.aif" ("our end trip" being an anagram for "put in order") found that if you arrange the left channel of the sample in such an order that the tones in the right channel are incremental, a voice reads "Case Number 6455DA04". This case number was found to refer to Moira Waag. The sample was obtained from the Survivalism GarageBand arrangement available for download from The Year Zero Website.
By combining them with Preston Gantry's login, we get...

Text clues
John Ferminger
The following text was pieced together from images on the case file pages for John Ferminger: "[a]nd the probable course of natural select[ion]". An additional unplaced fragment reads "We shall best."
The text appears to be a snippet from The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, notably the passage:
- We shall best understand the probable course of natural selection by taking the case of a country undergoing some physical change, for instance, of climate. The proportional numbers of its inhabitants would almost immediately undergo a change, and some species might become extinct.
Moira Waag
The text found on Moira Waag's Psychological Evaluation belongs to Marx and Engels' "The Communist Manifesto". The passage reads:
- A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of Communism. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.
Moira's interview transcript, however, features words that appear to belong to another work entirely since they do not occur in the Manifesto's text. From the words found, it is suspected that the text references is John Joyce's Ulysses. Proof and a passage for reference would be welcome!
Observations
- There are a number of guesses and beliefs that "Judson Ogram" might possibly be some sort of anagram, but this is yet to be confirmed.
- "Judson Ogram" can be altered so that it reads "JUD sonogram." A sonogram is another word for a spectrogram. Spectrograms of various Year Zero materials have yielded numerous clues and hints. JUD can mean the Islamic organization Jama'at-ud-Da'wah. JUD is also an abbreviation signifying a Doctorate of Canon and Civil Law -- in otherwords, a Doctor of both governmental and church law. This points to the seeming unity of Church and State in the Year Zero world.
- The newspaper clipping in Attachment #2 talks about recent flooding due to Hurricane Boaz. The hurricane's name begins with a 'B', indicating it is the second hurricane of the year, assuming the hurricane names are assigned by the same method in year 0000 as is currently in use. The event occurs in February, indicating that the hurricane season now stretches well across year boundaries in 0000.
- The police report mentions television crews and newspapers were present. This slightly contradicts Angry Sniper's monologue that there is no remaining free press.
-Note: Just because there were television crews and such, doesn't mean that the gov. doesn't censor and control it, thus not contradicting Angry Sniper.
- In the conversation between Dr. Gantry and John, John turns Dr. Gantry's wrist over, and Dr. Gantry makes a comment about "Mark of the Beast." Given the recent nerochip developments, this hints that at least Dr. Gantry has a nerochip implanted in him.
- As clear as it might be to some, it is worth pointing out the similarities between John of Boston and John the Baptist. Recall that John the Baptist was the prophet that cleared the way for and spoke about the coming of Jesus. John of Boston has been serving a similar role, although more focused on the Presence instead of a human embodiment. Also, John the Baptist drew people to him and his message, much as John of Boston did with the inmates and the people. John the Baptist was, near the end of his life, imprisoned for his speaking out against the rulers of the time, and was eventually beheaded for that act. John of Boston met a similar end, except with a bullet to the head. As a final note, there is a sense of irony that the text hint derived from the background images is tied to Darwin's Origin of Species. More information about John the Baptist.
- John Ferminger's psychological profile lists his inmate number as 4382BX12, and his inmate file number as 4382BX12. However, Moira Waag's inmate number is 6455DA04 and her file number is 4389LP76. It is unknown if this has any relevance, however, since the number does not function as a case number for Preston Gantry's login at the Judson Ogram staff portal.
