YEAR ZERO WEB SITES:
- Just a general suggestion for perusing the Year Zero websites; when reading the text, highlight it with your cursor and you can then read it clearly without any of the distortions or discolorations.
- Also try pressing your 'Tab' key on the keyboard to reveal any hidden links within a Year Zero related webpage.
- I tryed to arrange these in order of discovery, so if there is something new it will be at the bottom.
yearzero.nin.com
- Multitrack files and video downloads.
download year zero tracks here
i am trying to believe
- This was the first site discovered, and it is about this Parepin drug. The author of the website seems to be someone who has stopped using Parepin. Users may e-mail him to ask any questions, but are greeted with a very creepy auto-reply:
Auto-reply from [email protected] 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.
another version of the truth
- 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 message board in which citizens of this particular setting are discussing many things about society, most of it being quite negative, scary, or depressing. Three audio files have been revealed so far:
1. opalo.mp3 , discussing this Opal drug. 2. ballgameOver.mp3 , taken from the point of view of an "angry sniper." This angry sniper is most likely the same sniper found on Consolidated Mail Systems' site, as well as Be the Hammer. 3. nohurry.mp3 , detailing a police raid and showcasing the REAL truth behind it.
be the hammer
- This appears to be a resistance site, linked to at the anotherversionofthetruth.com message board. This is pretty much open to interpretation as nobody seems to have any hard evidence as to what this is, who is saying it, or anything else; however, it details several stories that fit within this arc. It's much too complex to be summarized here, but the stories themselves can be found on the website.
105th airborne crusaders
- Soldiers of God under the US flag. Not much is known about this site as of yet. The angry sniper claims to be a sniper who served the 105th Crusaders.
church of plano
- The Church of Plano. Not much is known about this site of yet, either. cynicmuse lets us know that the Church of Plano is a New Evangelical Church; one congregation of the New Evangelical Church donated land for the first base of the 105th and another took care of Fort Paul during a deployment. The Church of Plano is also a sola scripura organization
consolidated mail systems
- Ironically, one cannot enter the site if you are an "unknown citizen," but "no one important" is able to enter freely to view a detailed drug description from an officer reference handbook.
mail systems - no one important
- This is the site for what must be the main mail service of society (perhaps). It 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. It is definitely worthy to note that the page reads "ANGRY SNIPER sent you this message on Thursday, Feb 10, 0000." The title "angry sniper" is most likely a reference to the sound clip that features an angry guy shooting people with a sniper rifle. At the bottom of the page is a footnote, talking about a site called Opalescent Haze. Hmm... Interestingly, if you try to click any link on this page, it gives you a warning:
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.
u.s. wiretap
- 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. Calling this number revealed a downright scary 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.
The recording also gave a case number. When the case number added to the end of the US Wiretap URL (or when the page source is checked), one is brought to this page art is resistance
-The URL for this website was found on a red flyer at the Feb. 22, 2007 show in Paris, France. This seems to be a page detailing resistance using art. The website itself has stencils, wallpapers, and forum avatars for download.
hollywood in memoriam
- This one was found through this image , found along with "In This Twilight" on a USB thumb drive. Not much is known so far.
secure broadcast informatics
-The text 'solutions backwards initiative' was found on the Blu-Ray and HD DVD edition of the Beside You In Time booklet. This led to http://www.solutionsbackwardsinitiative.com which automatically redirects to http://www.securebroadcastinformatics.com
This site is for a company that delivers "quantum encryption, authentication, and verification." This company provides high-level security for all kinds of information, all "with zero chance of interception."
By clicking and dragging, several background images line up to create a login box. The password field reveals "matt26:45-46" while dragging the section of the background with the "submit" button. The password disappears when the mouse is released. Once the background lines up ("Remote System Access"), type "matt26:45-46" into the box, then click "submit." This directs you to Solutions Backwards Initiative (http://www.solutionsbackwardsinitiative.net/pilgrims/).
solutions backwards initiative
- Found by solving the puzzle on secure broadcast informatics
the water turned to blood
-The time counter on the Survivalism video hid a few letters, which, when rearranged, form The Water Turned To Blood.
TWTTB - bridge
-The author of the website calls himself "John of Boston". He was with his daughter on the Zakim Bridge at the time the river water turned red. There was an accident on the bridge that pushed his car into the water. He could not save his daughter and had a religious experience while in the water, claiming to have seen The Presence. John then started preaching to people about his experience and began to get a pretty big following. He was arrested and was released on bail for conducting an unapproved crowd of more than 20 people. While out on bail, he was arrested again for the same crime. The officers allowed him to finish preaching for fear of a riot. He was put into Judson Ogram Correctional Facility for his crime.
judson ogram correctional facility
-Discovered using the Survivalism video. Judson Ogram is a correctional institution, referring to it's inmate populous as "offenders". However, indications suggest that Judson Ogram does not differentiate between criminals and people with psychological dysfunction.

John Ferminger

-The first login for this staff page was found by visiting The Water Turned To Blood, wherein an inmate number was displayed for "John of Boston", as well as a potential password of "francesca" hidden in two blocks of text on the home page. This was used in combination with the name "Preston Gantry", read off of the staff badge of a psychiatrist displayed in the staff listing.
case #6455DA04

Moira Waag

-On 15th March, group analysis of the sample "Survivalism Our End Trip.aif" ("our end trip" being an anagram for "put in order") found that if you arrange the left channel of the sample in such an order that the tones in the right channel are incremental, a voice reads "Case Number 6455DA04". This case number was found to refer to Moira Waag. The sample was obtained from the Survivalism GarageBand arrangement available for download from The Year Zero Website.
cedocore
- Cedocore is mentioned on Judson Ogram Correctional Facility site in the staff section. This is the homepage for the company Cedocore who is the maker of several drugs, notably Prozira, Ampropax, and Parepin.
prizira quiz
- The Cedocore homepage includes a link to this quiz in order to determine if one is suffering from situational anxiety.
the mailstrom
- The Mailstrom was found on a lithograph given at the listening party to those who pre ordered Year Zero. Clicking on mailstom takes you to this page , 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 page we can find the following example login info: wreckage: gallows shard: Y3RG7J This leads to this page discussing informants and a possible link to Trinity Episcopalian.
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 this page , which is a thread between a mother and representatives at the Bureau of Morality regarding access to her child.
Those who attended 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 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.
Chicago listening party attendees received buttons that contained the following codes: wreckage: wretched shard: Ypq2QQ
This login leads to a letter of confessional from a soldier to a pastor. The soldier talks about his station in the Middle East and his growing aggravation with his surrounding and himself. Soldiers are given pills to keep them "hopped up." The author goes on to tell of how a boy, apparently working for the enemy, reported their position with a hidden GPS unit on his bike, so the soldier shot him. Yet he didn't shoot him, the pills did. Pills are creating a loss of free-will. Also, this e-mail leads us to believe that other terrorist attacks (or climate phenomena) has caused the abandoning of other US cities like Detroit, New Orleans and St. Louis.

operation swamp 0000
- 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. The billboard had Operation Swamp 0000 written on it. A site was found when .net was added to "operationswamp0000"
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."
The interesting thing about this site is that it is quite obviously based in England, revealing that in the world of Year Zero, the shift to totalitarianism previously thought to be occurring only in the United States is apparently spreading elsewhere. However, it is not that clear in the U.K. and the government is using cameras and chips to keep track of everyone's movements.
On 3/13/07 this photo was released on the official NIN website. Yes thats trent. operation chip sweep
- Operation Chip Sweep is mentioned on Operation Swamp 0000.
The website seems like part of a bigger news website. It talks about an operation prepared to capture the "chip pullers" which are gathering in Brixton and causing unrest. It also explains how and why the chips started being implanted into criminals.When the police tried to capture and arrest the "chip pullers", rioting started and some police mistakes gave way to more widespread violence.
another version of the truth revisionism
- Found through the Survivalism PDF. There are hidden pages on the left and the top. If you click on them, you can drag them into view. once aligned they become clear.
the price of treason
- I received this email:ATTENTION!The Bureau of Morality has identified you as A CONSUMER OF DISSIDENT MATERIAL.This is a one time warning. Any further attempts to view, consume, or distribute un-american content will result in the loss of citizenship increments and/or the imposition of fines, penalties, or imprisonment.You have choices. Make the RIGHT ones.For further information on making good choices, visit http://www.thepriceoftreason.net---------------------------- -------------------------------Bureau of Morality One Nation Under God
open source resistance
- This website was found through The Price Of Treason, where this site is credited to "Neil Czerno".
Unlike the rest of the Year Zero ARG sites, Open Source Resistance is set in -15, which, since Year Zero is 2022, is this year (2007). The appearance of the site reflects this, particularly since it doesn't carry the "corrupted" appearance of the sites set in 2022/0000.
At the bottom of the page is a link to subscribe to a mailing list. You can join the list by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject line of 'subscribe'.
grace the teacher
- On April 5th, 2007, this website was discovered by using Morse code found on Another Version of the Truth (song).
red horse vector
- This website was found cleaning up a distorted voice at 2:41 on The Great Destroyer.
This website talks about the Red Horse virus, an Ebola like virus which is less likely to fail due to climate conditions. There's information on symptoms, development, and also the development of a vaccine. It's also revealed through a video that this was the virus used to kill Jed Mather, the American diplomat, in Algeria.
exterminal
- This was the purpose of the thermocrome material used on the Year Zero CD. After ripping a CD to mp3,the CD had some binary numbers on it. Which when converted to ascii translates to the URL.
The content of the website centers around the Extrajudiciary federal detainment camp in Guam. The content is supposedly hacked out of an unknown site by the sites author known only as Beths boyfriend. in it are texts on several subversive "terrorists" including refrences to The Spiders, John Markakis, Sarah Thibadeux, Gil Bardsley, laurel(gils girlfriend), Elliot R Carraig, Tayna Roberts, Ian Menasco, Travis Woodgate, and a classified Inmate the only evidence against whom is exhibitA.wav.
free rebel art
- This website is mentioned on the Year Zero CD booklet.
This website has the appearence of a rebel site like Art Is Resistance, but without a government pop-up. In the corner is a box where it tells you to fill in your name and phone number. After filling in your information, the message "The password is RESISTANCE. Please stand by."
The Call
A recording of a woman says your name and aks you for the password. Saying "Resistance" plays the rest of the recording. The site was put up by the government to find rebels, and it tells you that your emails, phone calls, everything will be monitored, and you will probably not be able to get a job. It also says it will send you information on how to make your punishment less severe.
one country at a time
- Found from a new painting in Los Angeles. Each page is a page of a graphic novel, the next page can be reached by clicking a certain part of the page, or by hitting tab and then enter.
viability index
- Viability Index is scrambled in line code on different localized US and UK versions of the Year Zero CD booklets as well as a flier from the OSR LA meeting.
Viability Index is a real estate guide for cities affected by the "climate change." Its portents are grim; every city depicted is wracked by some kind of disaster on a regular basis. Cities are getting hotter. Alaska is temperate. Mexico City is "hell on earth." The site is darkly humorous, as every location depicted (even those currently or constantly at war) includes some lines of spin for potential buyers, even the lowest-rated in the website (rated .4 in a system with 4 at the average), which is described as lethally hot, lawless, squalid, and very affordable.
This is the first Year Zero website to link to a modern-day, Year -15 website, among them an environmental website describing the effects of rising water levels on the United States and several other sites describing the environmental concerns of other countries.
mining for life
- This website gives South African natives a place to stay and the possibility of employment if certain requirements are met.
Strangely enough, the requirements seem to fall along the lines of blood, tissue, and organ donation. Such as the cornea, blood, skin, kidney, and bone marrow.
brian tsunoda
- The site is an early research thesis, notated with Flash based comments which, when clicked, reveal in page comment conversations between the apparently relevant people to this study. The end product is not conclusive beyond promoting itself as an early explainer and proposal for increased funding to further research.
exhibit 24
- Exhibit Twenty Four is a Bureau of Morality page compiling a list of mostly all known Year Zero Experience sites to-date (and hidden sub-pages). It is presented as a dossier of evidence against a classified individual, who is speculated to be Trent Reznor.
hour of arrival
- This site was found through a phone call from OSR. It is a letter from a high-ranking government worker to his unborn child. He talks about his wife's sister, Chrissy and his own childhood. He also offers some advice to the child and what he would like to do together. Along with these writings are reports of The Presence being spotted in cities around the world.
