A t-shirt from the early 2007 over-seas tour of Nine Inch Nails. The highlighted letters spelled out ‘iamtryingtobelieve’ which was found out to be a website when adding “.com” to it.

It all started with a t-shirt from the early 2007 over-seas tour of Nine Inch Nails. The highlighted letters spelled out ‘iamtryingtobelieve’ which was found out to be a website when adding “.com” to it.

http://iamtryingtobelieve.com/

This was the first site relating to the Year Zero ARG discovered.

The content of the website (Sometime in the future) warns us of a drug called ‘Parepin’ that is being introduced into the water sources all over America. The government claims it is to increase our immune system and protect ourselves from biological terrorism. Apparently the drug may do a lot more than just boost our immune system. Apparent side effects are: an alteration of dopamine and serotonin levels (Drugs like Cocaine, Meth, and ‘Opal’ do, while no immune system booster, anti-biotic, or anti-viral does), muscle spasms, inability to reach orgasm, complacency, dulling of emotions...

There is also talk of a recent phenomenon known as the ‘Presence,’ where many people have seen what seems to be a giant hand reaching down from the sky, Some people believe it’s god, striking down from the heavens. Others believe it’s a Parepin-induced hallucination. Others believe it’s a Parepin widthdrawl hallucination. One thing is for sure, people everywhere are starting to see signs.

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:

I'm drinking the water. So should you.

Perhaps he's on to something...?

It should be noted that no reply comes if a user replies to his auto-reply.
