| − | '''[http://www.themailstrom.com The Mailstrom]''' is a search engine in the [[Year Zero Research|World of Year Zero]] designed to evesdrop on messages contained in the [[Consolidated Mail Systems|Consolidated Mail System]].

| − | == Website Content == | + | ==Discovery== |
| | + | The Mailstrom was found on a lithograph given at the listening party to those who fore-ordered ''[[Year Zero]].'' The same lithograph is used on the front page of the ''Year Zero'' liner notes. |
| | | | |
| − | Following a link in the main page leads to [http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm 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 email service available to Americans in the near future of Year Zero.
| + | ==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. |
| | | | |
| − | On this page, you can log in with various Wreckage/Shards listed below:
| + | ===Wreckages=== |
| | + | : ''See [[Wreckages]]'' |
| | | | |
| | + | Each page is an email caught by the 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 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. |

| + | The Mailstrom has become the biggest tool to deciphering the state of the world in Year Zero, continuing to be a source of fresh information as new wreckage/shard combinations are found. |

| − | This 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.

| − | This is 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. The use of these pills by soldiers is also mentioned in the Bio section of [http://bethehammer.net Be The Hammer].

| − | This is a letter sent out to a group of people. Perhaps most notably is the reference to Stonewall. The Stonewall riots were a series of violent conflicts between New York City police officers and groups of gay and transgendered people that began on June 28, 1969, and lasted several days. Also called the Stonewall Rebellion or simply Stonewall, the clash was a watershed for the worldwide gay rights movement, as gay and transgendered people had never before acted together in such large numbers to forcibly resist police. This rebelious and perhaps now illegal community in Year Zero is indicated by abbreviations of names and a note to have the e-mail deleted as soon as it is read. The sender, Dorothy, gives information about a future meeting that will be held at Stonewall. Dorothy then speaks about to members of the organization C.U., who has just been arrested, and S.K., who's father is in the hospital from dehydration and has had his citizenship account "re-established". Dorothy or "Friends of Dorothy" is also commonly referenced to the gay icon Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz," further indicating involvement with the LGBT community. Perhaps Dorothy is also in reference to Dorothy Richardson, the first writer to publish an English-language novel using what was to become known as the stream-of-consciousness technique. This technique was also used by writers of the beat generation such as Jack Kerouac, who had close relations with Allen Ginsberg. Her thirteen novel sequence Pilgrimage is one of the great 20th century works of modernist and feminist literature in English. This is followed by a quote from the bible Matthew 5:44. The letter also includes the declaration, "God is the God of all."

| − | Direct quote of Matthew 5:44 (King James Version): ''But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.''

It is stated in the advertisement that to become an Omega Man you must kill the last remaining animal of a species, so far there have been Omega Men of Lynx, Snow Leopards, and Orangutangs.

| − | This is an e-mail between Brent Trunks, BoM, Director Federal District 45 and Kimberley Tellalian, BoM, Assistant Director Federal District. BoM being Bureau of Morality. It entails a series of messages exchanged between Dale Hajdik, BoM, Federal District 45 and Kathleen Novak discussing a fellow student of Kathleen's that is suspected of subversion. The entire event comes to a head when Kathleen sends her fellow student and ex-boyfriend, Heath Duncan Sandleben, to boot camp (as most young subversive citizens are). As a result she attempts suicide at the school they attend.

| − | This is a letter from Blake Bessarion of the Denver Animal Society discussing the mauling of Misha Delmore. Bessarion is discussing that the mauling of a 6-year-old child was caused by the systematic abuse of these animals on a large scale by the government. Dangerous dogs not allowed to be owned by citizens are used frequently by the government, including the dog that mauled Misha (it was let loose by police).

| − | This entry is an email from someone with the screen name of HarareMedic to Dr. Hunger Lazarini. The message is about what seems to be a shipment of human organs, and what is implied to contain children's organs due to the writer discussing him contacting orphanages that many have provided good products. Also the writer of the email tells Dr. Hunger Lazarini to not contact him by phone ever again unless it is for an extreme emergency, and to be discreet due to the AU investigators. Apparently the price of these 'products' is high.

| − | '''Note: Not work safe images contained within.''' This appears to be a future-version of a classic ad for penile enlargement, complete with mostly-naked female model to entice the reader, and unlike other mailstrom mails, it contains a return address, [mailto:penetratorxl@consolidatedmailsystems.com]. It ends with the cryptic message, "Reply with your interest in the subject line. Safe & discreet." Reading the first letters of each line of the mail reveals the true meaning of this mail: "nerochip extraction". Putting that as the subject line in a mail to the address gets the following reply:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''If this is one of Willie’s friends or clients, Willie is in prison. I guess it was just more important to him to look after you than it was to take care of me & anna-marie. I hope you think it was worth it. I’m still waiting for the Glorious Resistance to send me a box of diapers and some baby food and job that pays more than minimum wage. Oh—right. Those jobs are for people who AREN’T married to dissidents.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you reply to the email without "nerochip extraction" in the subject line you receive this message:
| |
| − | "''Sales of PENETRATOR XL have been discontinued pending litigation.''".

| − | The email comes from an insurance company explaining to a father that his child’s medical condition and necessary surgery is not covered, although the child’s brain condition was the result of negligent arsenic disposal on the part of a now-dissolved company. Because the company is no longer in existence, the Limited Liability Law passed by Congress states that the child’s condition is now considered “An Act of God.” Acts of God are not covered under the insurance program.

| − | This email contains a conversation between a daughter (Selena) and her father (Kenneth). The father is going to work late and gives his daughter instruction on taking care of her younger brother until he is able to come home.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Selena contacts her father regarding a small emergency concerning her brother missing a prayer vigil at his school because he did not let their father know earlier in the week of the required attire. Kenneth replies in a short message that he will just have to learn the consequences of his actions, and that he is unable to make it home tonight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Selena attempts to contact her father via cell phone but is only able to leave voice messages. Her father responds that things are very complicated at work and unexpected visitors have shown up. He then warns her to screen phone calls and not to let any strangers in the house.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Selena again attempts to contact her father multiple times on his cell but is unable to do so. Two men in suits appear at the house claiming to work with her father and that he had instructed them to pick up Selena and her brother. She does not let them in as they did know the secret word and fakes a call to 911 which causes them to leave.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From this point on the father's only responses appear to be automated messages stating that he is away from his desk. It is worth noting that even though the conversation takes place over many hours the times listed on Kenneth's responses are always 1:38 PM.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The next message from Selena explains that she has contacted her Aunt Margaret and was instructed not to answer the door for anyone but her. Before Margaret can arrive four people come to the house: two cops, a woman, and a man. Selena lets them in and is told to pack some clothes for her and her brother. Her younger brother believes this is because of his missed prayer vigil, but Selena writes that she knows it's about the "secret stuff" her father has been involved in for years, which is apparently smuggling Americans to New Zealand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her aunt then arrives at the house, as well as the two men who originally attempted to get into the house. They follow Margaret to the door.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last message is sent from the aunt's home, explaining they are on the run and won't be staying long. As Marget opened the door to the house she saw the policemen and created confusion by shouting "rape" which caused the cops to draw their guns on the men behind her. She then ran Selena and her brother out of the house and into her car where fire was opened upon them but no one was hurt. Selena guesses that her father is not okay, and will probably never read her message.

| |
| − | | |
| − | However her father orders her to wash it off because he doesn't want anything "A-Rab" in his house despite his daughter's explanation that henna originates in India. The e-mail also references "nerochip earrings" becoming popular after the recent Oscars.

| − | | |
| − | The file names for the images that comprise the body of each e-mail message appear to be random numbers, but are in fact written in "leet-speak" with names appropriate to the subject of the e-mail (for example, the first image in the "fratricide" e-mail is named "fr4_7ri_cid3_01.jpg").

| − | "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."

| | + | ===Consolidated Mail Systems=== |
| | + | The Mailstrom catches emails as they are transmitted to the [[Consolidated Mail Systems]], a government controlled central e-mail server for all e-mail content on the internet. Inherent flaws in the predictability of the CMS allows the Mailstrom to hop servers without ever losing its target and remaining hidden from any attempt to isolate and remove it. |
