==Discovery==
At the February 12th, 2007 [[Nine Inch Nails ]] concert in [[2007/02/12 Lisbon, Portugal|Lisbon, Portugal]] on February 12, 2007. a plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. It was found to hold a single MP3 file with the title "[[My Violent Heart]].". In the ID3 tags of that file, a URL, http://anotherversionofthetruth.com, was found.It can also be noted that on the "[[Another Version Of The Truth (song)|Another Version Of The Truth]]" page of the ''[[Year Zero]] booklet'' liner notes, the figures "HTTP://" can be made out through the over-typed effect of the text in the booklet, hinting at the website.
==Content==
In this thread one of the posters is named BanksyForDictator, which is a note-worthy allusion to the underground icon amongst stencil & graffiti artists worldwide. Art is an invaluable tool of the counter culture, & though many of his masterpieces are fun and light-hearted Banksy is a real world example of art's amazing power to transfer ideas and messages to those who would otherwise remain unaware. For more information on Banksy see [http://www.banksy.co.uk/ www.banksy.co.uk].
Another important point made is by [[Philomela]]: "It makes it easy for you to think that the cops and the bankers and the soldiers are all Them. They aren’t. They’re us, too." The meaning behind this quote shows that despite a corporations & institutions being symbols of the enemy, the individuals within are not all necessarily enemies, but some maybe victims of circumstance.
