END OF E-MAIL

According to the above, this might be my last post if I keep consuming “dissident material”. Check out the website in the e-mail. Read over the stories in links on the left about examples of treason. In one of the stories we unlock a new website. The thing that sticks out about this website is it’s not all cracked out like the other websites. Reason: All of the websites we have are from the future when Year Zero takes place. The Open Source Resistance website is created in the present and the webmaster is punished for his website in the future.

Next piece of the game was found on the Year Zero site in the .pdf file for the Survivalism lyrics. If you put your mouse over the word “revisionism” in the second chorus it takes you to http://www.anotherversionofthetruth.com/ which we already knew. But throw on revisionism.html after that link and you get a new clue. There are two floating pages that you have to pull to the right and pull down to align to see correctly.

Check it out, let me know your thoughts, post a comment. Also don’t forget to read previous posts if you’re just joining in.

New Lithograph and Flyer!

2007-03-12T13:39:00.000-07:00

LITHOGRAPH
If you pre-order the CD at the listening parties going on, you get a lithograph.
It’s kinda hard to make out, but check out the top left corner. The letters THEMAILSTROM are etched into the wall in the picture. A couple web guesses and we arrive at http://www.themailstrom.com.

This is a website where you can hack into parts of the governments controlled e-mail system. Take a look for yourself….

NEW FLYER
At last night’s show a new “Art Is Resistance” flyer was passed out. Looks almost the same but with an address on it this time: EC1 Kingsland Road And Old Street: Under The Bridge.

Some Londoners made their way over there and found a billboard for “Operation Swamp”. You can see the AIR logo on the right where it looks like the billboard was ripped away.

The discovery of the billboard lead to http://www.operationswamp0000.net. The site has detailed instructions on how to remove a “nerochip” from your arm that the government has begun to place in criminals tracking their movements. Pretty graphic, not for the faint of heart. The site also describes something called Operation Chip Sweep, which leads us to: http://www.operationchipsweep.net/, looks like a website periodical that is illegal to look at in the US.

USB Drives found at Brixton show last night!!!

2007-03-08T10:12:00.000-08:00

USB drives found at Brixton show with low and high resolution files of the Survivalism video!

For those of you who can’t see the writing on the door they knock down at the end, it says REV 18:3-4 which is transcribed here:
“For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues”

Thanks to all those that checked out the video frame by frame to find letters hiding in the time code on the monitors. They spelled out THE WATER TURNED TO BLOOD. With a few guesses, we stumble upon http://www.thewaterturnedtoblood.net/.

That site is prefaced by a warning that says it was created by inmate #4382BX12 as part of a therapeutic treatment program administered by the psychiatric support staff at Judson Ogram Correctional Facility.

If you notice in the prayers/ramblings on the website, some letters are lower case when all others are uppercase, spelling out Francesca in two different places.

With a couple web address guesses again, we stumble upon http://www.judsonogram.net

Clicking on the staff page reveals a set of pictures of staff and a login box at the bottom with three inputs; name, case #, and password. The name can be found on the nametag of one of the doctors in a picture on the same page:http://www.judsonogram.net/images/staff_07.jpg
Name: Preston Gantry

The case number is referred to on http://www.thewaterturnedtoblood.net.
Case #: 4382BX12

The password as it turns out was hidden in the artwork on http://www.thewaterturnedtoblood.net
Password: francesca

After logging in to the staff section, we find the records for John Ferminger (Case#: 4382BX12) who says the Presence has told him the end of the world is coming. At the top of the page, you can find police reports and news clippings surrounding John’s arrest. A key link is the last interview between John Ferminger (Case#: 4382BX12) and Dr. Gantry before John’s execution. Clicking on a link marked supplemental creates a pop up window that states “Dr. Gantry has been remanded to custody and scheduled for aggressive re-education.”

From the staff page on http://www.judsonogram.net, we also read the following passage:
Judson Ogram is particularly proud of having one of the lowest recidivism rates in the nation, thanks to a set of re-education protocols developed in joint partnership with Cedocore and the Bureau of Morality.

After guessing around again, we find http://www.cedocore.com, the official website of the pharmaceutical company responsible for the manufacturing of Parepin. (Reference http://www.iamtryingtobelieve.com for past info on Parepin). Take the Situational Anxiety test to reveal some disturbing facts about the future.

Facts we find out about the future:
- We have warm summers that need 150 SPF lotion protection.
- Miami is underwater
- We no longer elect officials
- Sometimes air quality is so bad you shouldn’t go outside

If you click on the thumb of the hand on http://www.thewaterturnedtoblood.net/, you get a password box pop up.

The password is Ephesians6:12. This Bible passage is quoted by John in his interview with Dr. Preston Gantry on the Judson Ogram site. (http://www.judsonogram.net/personnel/gantry/casefiles/4382bx12/addendum.htm)
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

Entering this password leads us to:

which contains messages about the end of the world.

Don’t forget to check out my first post if you’re just getting started!

YEAR ZERO (first time viewers read this first!)

2007-03-07T14:09:00.000-08:00

So as you’ve all heard, Nine Inch Nails has a new album coming out April 17^th called Year Zero. What most people don’t know is this is concept album spanning two records, the second coming out sometime in 2008.

Ready to jump down the rabbit hole? Okay, here we go.

The year is year zero. The year is referenced as 0000 instead of the current Roman calendar. Through this image, we can see that 0000 is 2022.

The campaign started with a new NIN tour shirt with some of the letters brighter than others. Production malfunction? No, a clue to lead listeners to the first website. The letters spelled “I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE”, where iamtryingtobelieve.com is an actual site.

http://iamtryingtobelieve.com/

This site introduces us to a drug called Parepin, which the government has added to our water that will boost our immune system against the bioterrorist attacks that are currently occurring. However there are some that feel the drug has side affects resulting in hallucinations, twitches and placidness.

If you try to e-mail the webmaster of this website to talk about the side affects of the drug you get a very eerie auto-reply like someone was holding a gun to his head:

Auto-reply from water@iamtryingtobelieve.com wrote:

“Thank you for your interest. It is now clear to me that Parepin is a completely safe and effective agent developed to protect us from bio-terrorism. The Administration is acting purely in the best interests of its citizens; to suggest otherwise was irresponsible and I deeply regret it.

I'm drinking the water. So should you.”

Anyone thirsty?

http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/

Second website was unlocked by a concert goer finding a USB flash disk in the bathroom with a link to http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/. The website appears to be a propaganda page for a “New America” but with some drags of the mouse reveals a desolate landscape and a link to a very gloomy message board. A few mp3 files are found on this site:

1. opalo.mp3 - discussing the drug Opal
2. ballgameOver.mp3 – Recorded by an "angry sniper." This angry sniper is probably the same sniper found on Consolidated Mail Systems' site, as well as Be the Hammer.
3. nohurry.mp3 – Audio from a police raid and revealing the disturbing truth of the raid

http://bethehammer.net/

The third website to be found was http://bethehammer.net/, linked to at the anotherversionofthetruth.com message board. This seems to be a personal website of the sniper from the ball game over mp3. Shows how people in the future are trying to take matters into their own hands through violence. A lot of interesting stories about his activities and thoughts on those in charge.

http://105thairbornecrusaders.com/

Soldiers of God under the US flag. Not a lot is known about these guys just yet. Hoping more will develop with these guys. The angry sniper claims to be a sniper who served the 105th Crusaders.

http://churchofplano.com/

The Church of Plano. Not much is known about this site of yet, either. They have meetings/discussions about those who seem to have visions of the Presence. More soon I hope.

http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant/
http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/citizen_unknown/

There seems to be a monopoly on mail service and this would be the website we’d have to use. This certain users mail features a description of Opal stolen from a police officer and his reference handbook, as well as numerous crude drawings, including one of the Presence. Make note that the page reads "ANGRY SNIPER sent you this message on Thursday, Feb 10, 0000”, same angry sniper from Be The Hammer? If you try to click any link on this page, it gives you a warning:

The page at http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/ wrote:

WARNING CODE 24.10.4 (All page functionality disabled): You are not the citizen assigned to this account. Close this window immediately and stay where you are. Authorities will be in contact shortly for appropriate reeducation.

http://www.uswiretap.com/case_number_required/

http://www.uswiretap.com/71839J/

This site was discovered through the phone number revealed to us in a spectrograph image of 2432.mp3, a file that was contained inside the .rar that "Me, I'm Not" came in at a concert. Calling this number reveals a straight up frightening conversation. The phone conversation can be heard by calling the number (216) 333-1810, which is found in the 2432.mp3 file as well as on the text of the actual site.

Most frightening part of the conversation is when the receiver of the call says “I’ll call the cops” the caller says in a distressed voice, “The cops are already here, they are the ones that locked us in.”

http://www.artisresistance.com/

A flyer was passed out at a concert promotion art as resistance. This seems to be a page detailing resistance using art, instead of violence like the angry sniper/Be The Hammer website. According to the thread that links to the site, they speak of World War Four, thus insinuating a World War Four will occur in the next 15 years. The website itself has stencils and wallpapers for the movement.

http://www.hollywoodinmemoriam.org/

This one was found through this image, found along with "In This Twilight" on a USB thumb drive the same night as the 79^th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony. The main page reads:

“The first dirty bomb went off at the Kodak Theater during the 81st Annual Academy Awards Ceremony. Over the next half hour, eight more dirty bombs deployed by Islamic extremists spread a pall of radioactive dust across Greater LA. Three days later a Presidential order required the entire city to be evacuated.

The City of Angels had become a city of ghosts.

This site is dedicated to the people of Los Angeles who lost their homes, their loved ones, and their lives in Hollywood's last fade to black.”

There is also a link for a very emotional message board with strong resemblance to bills posted near Manhattan after 9/11.

http://www.securebroadcastinformatics.com/

This is the latest of the links. The URL for this website was found as a loosed text securebroadcastinformatics on Blu-ray edition of Beside You In Time booklet. If you re-arrange the image on the page you get a log in box that looks like this.

When arranged in a different way, the password field from the above image reveals "matt26:45-46" which is “Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, 'Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!'"

One the puzzle is together, a click takes you to http://www.solutionsbackwardsinitiative.net/pilgrims/

Search around the links and find an eerie real time conversation between a group of the IT technicians.

Second Tour Shirt with Clue

On this tour shirt, like the other tour shirt, some dates were highlighted, revealing the following number: 13102951040. Calling it reveals a new "sound clip," featuring a small sample of "Survivalism."

SONG LEAKS

"My Violent Heart" - A flash drive was found on the stall floor of one of the restrooms at two Nine Inch Nails shows on February 13th and February 14th in Lisbon, Portugal and Madrid, Spain. These two flash drives had references to anotherversionofthetruth.com and contained "My Violent Heart".

"Me, I'm Not" – Found again in a stall on the floor of a concert on February 19th. This time it came with a second file which, when put through a spectograph, revealed yet another site, the US Wiretap site.

"In This Twilight" – This was leaked on another USB drive on the evening of February 25th, 2007. The drive contained an image. Thus users being led to Hollywood in Memoriam.
