At a meeting in the streets of LA on April 13th, men in a strategically placed van gave everyone ammunition boxes filled with Resistance propaganda (fliers, stencils, buttons, stickers) and some people received boxes with cell phones.

This phone is your membership card to the resistance. Within the next few days, we will use it to contact you with details of this first resistance meeting. It will get you and one friend through the door. Keep it charged, and keep it with you at all times. Most importantly, there are only 100 minutes on these phones, so use them up and you'll be SOL. We'll be in touch."

update:
I got an email back from Alan Cross; he said that he has no idea where that rumor came from. Although even the official website for the radio station he works for mentions his personal review of "The Good Soldier" as being a "Moody, slower. Great grind-y bass synth groove.

New leads are coming in fast and heavy now.
# First, after the show in Paris, France, a new site was discovered thanks to a "red flier" that was distributed. The site is [[Art Is Resistance]] or http://artisresistance.com.

# A video is posted on [http://yearzero.nin.com], showing among other little hidden bits, a video of [[The Presence]].
# Finally, the newest news: http://yearzero.nin.com/0024 reveals the album cover for ''Year Zero.''
Currently, there are a few new leads and songs!
# [[U.S. Wiretap]], a brand new website that was found as a result of typing in the government agency referred to on:
# [[12163331810]], a new phone number that was found through a spectrograph of file:

At a meeting in the streets of LA on April 13th, men in a strategically placed van gave everyone ammunition boxes filled with Resistance propaganda (fliers, stencils, buttons, stickers) and some people received boxes with cell phones. The phones had a note: "If you are 18 or over, and will be in the Los Angeles area Wednesday, April 18th we need you. If not, give this hardware to someone else. This phone is your membership card to the resistance. Within the next few days, we will use it to contact you with details of this first resistance meeting. It will get you and one friend through the door. Keep it charged, and keep it with you at all times. Most importantly, there are only 100 minutes on these phones, so use them up and you'll be SOL. We'll be in touch."
