- On first glance, this is nothing more than simple, smiley propaganda. Another version of the truth is revealed (quite literally!) if you click and drag. Once new text is revealed, clicking a link takes you to a [http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/forum.htm message board] in which citizens of this particular setting are discussing many things about society, most of it being quite negative, scary, or depressing. On the first message board there seems to be a picture almost identical of the presence that is on the Year Zero cover. Three audio files have been revealed so far:
* [[opalo.mp3]], discussing this Opal drug.
* [[ballgameOver.mp3]], taken from the point of view of an "angry sniper."
* [[nohurry.mp3]], detailing a police raid and showcasing the REAL truth behind it.

==Content==
On first glance, the website appears to be nothing more than a large graphic, with a simple, patriotic, (if somewhat propagandistic) American message, not unlike the kind frequently used by politicians, and it is labeled at the bottom as coming from the [[US Bureau of Morality]]. Clicking and dragging over the image begins to reveal "another version" of the graphic, with the cheerful image replaced by a dark and bleak revision of the farm scene, and the text replaced with pessimistic and satirical messages. Once the new image is revealed, clicking the large bold words "Another Version of the Truth" takes you to a [http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/forum.htm message board] in which citizens of this particular setting are discussing many things about society, mostly involving resistance to the oppressive authority in place.
== Topics =Forums===The topics arehttp://www.anotherversionofthetruth.com/forum.htm
- End of the World?Background Text: [[Year_Zero_Banned_Media#The Hobbit|"The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien]]
- Acts of ResistanceThe topics viewable on the message board are:
- Cops Murder Muslim Kid====End of the World?====The discussion in this forum centers around [[The Presence]] and what it may be, if it in fact exists. It also contains, in a post, song lyrics: "Used to be the leader/ now comes the time to serve/ maybe we show some mercy/ maybe you get what you deserve." The lyrics are from the Year Zero song [[Meet Your Master|Meet Your Master]].
- Violent ====Acts of Resistance====This forum mainly discusses an act of terrorism at a [[Baseball in February|baseball]] game that is alluded to by a poster named [[Be the Hammer|BeTheHammer]]. It is assumed that this poster is the same as the author of the [[Be the Hammer]] website, which he links to.
- Opal/Cocaine====Cops Murder Muslim Kid====This forum only has two posts, but does link to an MP3, [[nohurry.mp3]], in which a media report is contrasted with a cell phone recording of what is revealed to be a police murder.
- In Memorian====Violent Resistance====This forum centers around the debate which started in the "Acts of Resistance" forum over whether violence is useful in resisting the authority. It also contains a linked MP3, [[ballgameOver.mp3]], in which an assassin, most likely BeTheHammer, talks about organizing the attack as it happens.
- ====Opal/Cocaine====This forum begins with a link to another MP3, [[opalo.mp3]], which contrasts a media report about the Colombian drug trade and a firsthand account from a Colombian woman, indicating that cocaine's downfall is due to global warming and [[opal]]. It should be noted that the woman speaking in Spanish does not have a Colombian accent, but it is an accent originated on or influenced by Mexican or Central American accents. This confusion is commonly observed in American films. It has not been clarified if this contradiction is intentional and meaningful or if it would be, otherwise, only due to a mistake during production. ====In Memoriam====This forum has only one post, a notice to other forum members that the poster's brother was killed and the circumstances surrounding it. ====Missing in Action====This forum lists the names of people who have gone missing, and one post from "Shatter36" indicating he or she is fine; the implication being he or she is one of the people named as missing above.
The list of screennames on these forums is as follows:
8ballz, angelfood, AVT001, AVT019, AVT021, AVT80, AVT092, AVT666, Barnlikr (quoted), BeTheHammer, Che2, ChicagoAnon, fairisfair, Fiddler5Weather, giventake, Gradiosity, GrogeousGeorge, guiltfree, Haberdasher, HumanInterest, kidwithacam, KingdomCome, Lenguetaindia lovemonger, McLuhanDisciple, mitzvah, musiclover06, PaxHarmonica, pharlarope (quoted), Phil&Sophie (unsure about &), romeisburning, [[Shatter36]], ShiHuang, Sunset Clause, ticktock9, Victor12, VoxIsMyCowboy
The last entry on any of the forums is 2/10/00 at 14:26, however, there appears to be evidence that dates were changed. [[Image:Date_mismatch_avt.png|thumb|302px|Evidence of date mismatch in AVT forum topic page. Click image for close-up.]]The "glitched" date of the Violent Resistance topic, below the topics on the background image of the topics page, appears different than the text written one. The background shows "Started by AVT001 on 02/04/0000" rather than "Started by AVT001 on 02/10/0000". This same glitch occurs within the discussion threads. Also, the '0's each of the dates' 10s is one pixel wider than other zeros in this same font. Both details suggest that the original dates of these posts may have been altered. It is not yet known the significance of this alteration, however. ==== Art is Resistance ====The [[Art Is Resistance]] website has a [http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/artist.htm link] to an archived thread, entitled "Artist Behind AIR Goes Missing". The thread mainly discusses the usefulness of art (as opposed to violence) as a tool for resistance. 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].

When Columbus and his sailors came ashore carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts.

They do not bear arms...With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."~
