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. See [http://wwwfarm1.static.echoingthesoundflickr.orgcom/phpbbx126/viewtopic.php?t=21364 this] thread for more images and info. The billboard had Operation Swamp 0000 written on it. A site was found when 418142576_c9480f4b28.net was added to "operationswamp0000"jpg

==Discovery==
This site was found via a billboard underneath a bridge. The location of the bridge was given in an [[Art Is Resistance]] flyer found at the [[2007/03/11 London, UK|March 11, 2007]] show in London. See [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=21364 this] thread for more images and info. The billboard had Operation Swamp 0000 written on it.

==Content==
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."
==Theories==
On the website, the author states that thinking for themselves is not the British people's "strong suit." (Quote above.) This is most likely simply the author looking down his nose at the convicts who would have these chips in them, but it may also allude to the use of [[Parepin]] or a similar drug in England.
This link is also interesting:

Note the biblical reference to "the mark of the beast" and the statement that the mark will be in the right hands of men, as are the chips in Year Zero.

== Notes ==
* [http://www.met.police.uk/history/brixton_riots.htm Operation Swamp 81] refers to an actual plainclothes police operation and related riots in Brixton in 1981. Operation Swamp 0000 seems to be named after this historical event.
* The diamond-shaped chip and the scar resulting from removal appear on the wrists in the inside of the CD case.
