- On first glance==Discovery==At the [[Nine Inch Nails]] concert in [[2007/02/12 Lisbon, Portugal|Lisbon, this is nothing more than simplePortugal]] on February 12, smiley propaganda2007. Another version of the truth is revealed (quite literally!) if you click and draga plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. Once new text is revealed, clicking a link takes you It was found to hold a single MP3 file with the title "[[http://anotherversionofthetruthMy Violent Heart]].com/forum.htm message board] in which citizens " In the ID3 tags of this particular setting are discussing many things about societythat file, most of it being quite negativea URL, scaryanotherversionofthetruth.com, or depressingwas found. On the first message board there seems to It can also be a picture almost identical of the presence noted that is on the Year Zero cover. Three audio files have been revealed so far:* "[[opalo.mp3Another Version Of The Truth (song)|Another Version Of The Truth]], discussing this Opal drug.* " page of the ''[[ballgameOver.mp3Year Zero]]'' liner notes, taken from the point of view of an figures "angry sniper.HTTP://"* [[nohurry.mp3]]can be made out through the over-typed effect of the text in the booklet, detailing a police raid and showcasing hinting at the REAL truth behind itwebsite.
Also==Content==On first glance, some lyrics were posted on the website appears to be nothing more than a large graphic, with a simple, patriotic, (if somewhat propagandistic) American message boards , not unlike the kind frequently used by politicians, and it is labeled at the bottom as coming from the [[US Bureau of this siteMorality]]. This is also speculationClicking and dragging over the image begins to reveal "another version" of the graphic, but these could be lyrics to with the cheerful image replaced by a song on Year Zero: "Used to be dark and bleak revision of the leader/ now comes farm scene, and the time to serve/ maybe we show some mercy/ maybe you get what you deservetext replaced with pessimistic and satirical messages.Once the new image is revealed, clicking the large bold words " These lyrics are also very similar to Another Version of the NIN song [[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]: Truth"Bow down before the one takes you serveto a message board at anotherversionofthetruth.com/ you're going forum.htm, in which citizens of this particular setting are discussing many things about society, mostly involving resistance to get what you deservethe oppressive authority in place."

== Topics ==Background Text: [[Year_Zero_Banned_Media#The topics are:Hobbit|"The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien]]
- End of The topics viewable on the World?message board are:
- Acts ====End of Resistancethe World?====The discussion in this forum centers around [[The Presence]] and what it may be, if it in fact exists. It also contains, in a post, song lyrics: "Used to be the leader/ now comes the time to serve/ maybe we show some mercy/ maybe you get what you deserve." The lyrics are from the Year Zero song [[Meet Your Master|Meet Your Master]].
- Cops Murder Muslim Kid====Acts of Resistance====This forum mainly discusses an act of terrorism at a [[Baseball in February|baseball]] game that is alluded to by a poster named [[Be the Hammer|BeTheHammer]]. It is assumed that this poster is the same as the author of the [[Be the Hammer]] website, which he links to.
- Violent Resistance====Cops Murder Muslim Kid====This forum only has two posts, but does link to an MP3, [[nohurry.mp3]], in which a media report is contrasted with a cell phone recording of what is revealed to be a police murder.
- Opal/Cocaine====Violent Resistance====This forum centers around the debate which started in the "Acts of Resistance" forum over whether violence is useful in resisting the authority. It also contains a linked MP3, [[ballgameOver.mp3]], in which an assassin, most likely BeTheHammer, talks about organizing the attack as it happens.
- In Memorian====Opal/Cocaine====This forum begins with a link to another MP3, [[opalo.mp3]], which contrasts a media report about the Colombian drug trade and a firsthand account from a Colombian woman, indicating that cocaine's downfall is due to global warming and [[opal]]. It should be noted that the woman speaking in Spanish does not have a Colombian accent, but it is an accent originated on or influenced by Mexican or Central American accents. This confusion is commonly observed in American films. It has not been clarified if this contradiction is intentional and meaningful or if it would be, otherwise, only due to a mistake during production.
- ====In Memoriam====This forum has only one post, a notice to other forum members that the poster's brother was killed and the circumstances surrounding it. ====Missing in Action====This forum lists the names of people who have gone missing, and one post from "Shatter36" indicating he or she is fine; the implication being he or she is one of the people named as missing above.
The list of screennames on these forums is as follows:
8ballz, angelfood, AVT001, AVT019, AVT021, AVT80, AVT092, AVT666, Barnlikr (quoted), BeTheHammer, Che2, ChicagoAnon, fairisfair, Fiddler5Weather, giventake, Gradiosity, GrogeousGeorge, guiltfree, Haberdasher, HumanInterest, kidwithacam, KingdomCome, Lenguetaindia lovemonger, McLuhanDisciple, mitzvah, musiclover06, PaxHarmonica, pharlarope (quoted), Phil&Sophie (unsure about &), romeisburning, [[Shatter36]], ShiHuang, Sunset Clause, ticktock9, Victor12, VoxIsMyCowboy
The last entry on any of the forums is 2/10/00 at 14:26, however, there appears to be evidence that dates were changed. [[Image:Date_mismatch_avt.png|thumb|302px|Evidence of date mismatch in AVT forum topic page. Click image for close-up.]]The "glitched" date of the Violent Resistance topic, below the topics on the background image of the topics page, appears different than the text written one. The background shows "Started by AVT001 on 02/04/0000" rather than "Started by AVT001 on 02/10/0000". This same glitch occurs within the discussion threads. Also, the '0's each of the dates' 10s is one pixel wider than other zeros in this same font. Both details suggest that the original dates of these posts may have been altered. It is not yet known the significance of this alteration, however.
Code number:==== Art is Resistance ====This website reveals the The [[numbers|code numberArt Is Resistance]]: 24website has a link (anotherversionofthetruth.10com/artist.htm) to an archived thread, entitled "Artist Behind AIR Goes Missing".8The number shows up on the main web page right below thread mainly discusses the flash object. To reveal it choose "Select All" or press 'CTRL + A'usefulness of art (as opposed to violence) as a tool for resistance.
== Speculation ==In this thread one of the posters is named BanksyForDictator, which is a note-worthy allusion to the underground icon amongst stencil & graffiti artists worldwide. Art is an invaluable tool of the counter culture, & though many of his masterpieces are fun and light-hearted Banksy is a real world example of art's amazing power to transfer ideas and messages to those who would otherwise remain unaware. For more information on Banksy see [http://www.banksy.co.uk/ www.banksy.co.uk].
BeTheHammer Another important point made is probably the author of the by [[Be the HammerPhilomela]] website.<br>[[Shatter36]] is one of : "It makes it easy for you to think that the three people mentioned in cops and the Missing in Action thread (He replies to bankers and the thread with "I'm fine and just laying low.")<br><br>[[Image:Date_mismatch_avtsoldiers are all Them.png|thumb|302px|Evidence of date mismatch in AVT forum topic pageThey aren’t. Click image for close-upThey’re us, too.]]" The "glitched" date of the Violent Resistance topic, below the topics on the background image meaning behind this quote shows that despite a corporations & institutions being symbols of the topics pageenemy, appears different than the text written one. The background shows "Started by AVT001 on 02/04/0000" rather than "Started by AVT001 on 02/10/0000". This same glitch occurs individuals within the discussion threads. Alsoare not all necessarily enemies, the '0's each of the dates' 10s is one pixel wider than other zeros in this same font.
