==Discovery==The Mailstrom was found on a lithograph given at the listening party to those who pre fore-ordered ''[[Year Zero (open ]].'' The same lithograph is used on the image in front page of the highest resolution possible and look at the top left corner)''Year Zero'' liner notes.

== Website Content ==The Mailstrom is a server-hopping program designed to catch emails using a randomly generated decryption key [http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm]. In this way it evades any attempt to isolate and remove it from the system, while providing those who know of it the possibility of stumbling upon a wreckage/shard combination leading to an email that can help fight the government's abusive control.

Following a link in the main page leads to ===Wreckages===: ''See [[http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm this pageWreckages]] which provides the premise that the Mailstrom is a brute force means of evesdropping on communication that goes through Consolidated, the sole system of internet service available in the near future of Year Zero.''

On this Each page we can find is an email caught by the following Mailstrom's decryption net, providing insight into the lives of people living in world of year zero. The first wreckage/shard combination was provided as an example login info:on the Mailstrom information page, and subsequent combinations have been found through audio clips, on buttons handed out at various NIN and AIR related events and in the ''Year Zero'' CD case and liner notes.

wreckage: gallows shard: Y3RG7J This leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/gallows_Y3RG7J.htm this page] discussing informants and a possible link to Trinity Episcopalian, it is unknown if there is another website hidden in the meaning of this email communication at this time.==Connections==At the Minneapolis Listening Party, some buttons were given out. Four buttons have been reported to date, containing another wreckage/shard retrieved from The Mailstrom. The following combination was found on two of them:  wreckage: gasoline shard: UUu891 This leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/gasoline_UUu891.htm this page], which is a thread between a mother and representatives at has become the Bureau of Morality regarding access biggest tool to her child. Those who attended deciphering the San Diego listening party obtained three more codes. There were two buttons that matched each other:  wreckage: tumbrel shard: AD44Us This login code leads you to [http://www.themailstrom.com/tumbrel_ad44us.htm this page], which is apparently spam or junk mail. One program advertised is CitizenKing Max, which helps people boost their citizen points, which are needed in order to have an "Administration-approved character." The next program discussed is called ChildAssist, which is approved by the US Bureau of Morality, and it helps parents improve their child-rearing score. After each program is advertised, something called the NeroMod GX, is discussed. This devise can be used to modify any [[Nerochip]] of the third, fourth or fifth-C generation. Also it says that the NeroMod GX is the most preferred modification device by most celebrities and heads of state, implying that all citizens have the [[Nerochip]]. As a sales pitch, any citizen that purchases one of the programs advertised gets a free NeroMod GX. == Buttons == At the world in Year Zero listening parties, buttons have become available that have codes for either the wreckage or the shard. Here is the complete list continuing to be a source of buttons. New finds are highlighted. {| border="1" style="border: solid 1px #cccccc; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%" ||-style="background-color: #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold"| Button Detail || Wreckage || Shard|-style="background-color: #ffffff"| Robot Head (fresh information as new wreckage) / Molotov Cocktail held by robot (shard) || gasoline || UUu891|-| AIR Flag (white on green) || sickle || <em>not seen</em>|-| SPEAKTRUTH || <em>not seen</em> || I682fg <em>or</em> L682fg <em>or</em> 1682fg|-| YOU HAVE A VOICE || spore || <em>not seen</em>|-| YOU WILL BE HEARD || bitter || <em>not seen</em>|-| Police Baton || <em>not seen</em> || blE34c <em>or</em> b1E34c <em>or</em> biE34c|-| <em>something to do with police on billboard</em> || <em>not seen</em> || <em>not seen</em>|-style="background-color: #f0f0f0"| AIR Flag (from mural, <strong>more detail on appearance, please!</strong>) || tumbrel || AD44Us|-style="background-color: #f0f0f0"| AIR Flag (white on black) || <em>not seen</em> || vC99iT|-style="background-color: #f0f0f0"| AIR Flag (red on white) || infarction || <em>not seen|-style="background-color: #f0f0f0"| Sickle || wretched || <strong>Given out at Chicago listening party, please update!</strong>|} References combinations are found [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?p=881760#881760 here] and [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?p=882024#882024 here]. == Hidden Numbers ==24.1.1 on the main page. == Hidden Text ==A quote from the beginning of 1984 by George Orwell composes the broken text.  "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him."<br>[[Image:1984.jpg]]
