Difference between revisions of "Another Version Of The Truth (website)"

Both views of the front page.

Go to this thread on ETS for discussion of this website

- 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. On the first message board there seems to be a picture almost identical of the presence that is on the Year Zero cover. Three audio files have been revealed so far:

opalo.mp3, discussing this Opal drug.
ballgameOver.mp3, taken from the point of view of an "angry sniper."
nohurry.mp3, detailing a police raid and showcasing the REAL truth behind it.

Also, some lyrics were posted on the message boards of this site. This is also speculation, but these could be lyrics to a song on Year Zero: "Used to be the leader/ now comes the time to serve/ maybe we show some mercy/ maybe you get what you deserve." These lyrics are also very similar to the NIN song Head Like A Hole: "Bow down before the one you serve/ you're going to get what you deserve."

Topics

The topics are:

- End of the World?

- Acts of Resistance

- Cops Murder Muslim Kid

- Violent Resistance

- Opal/Cocaine

- Missing in Action

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.

Code number: This website reveals the code number: 24.10.8 The number shows up on the main web page right below the flash object. To reveal it choose "Select All" or press 'CTRL + A'.

Speculation

BeTheHammer is probably the author of the Be the Hammer website.
Shatter36 is one of the three people mentioned in the Missing in Action thread (He replies to the thread with "I'm fine and just laying low.")

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.

Art is Resistance

The Art Is Resistance website has a link to an archived thread.

Revisionism

Hidden page

The revisionism page was found through the Survivalism lyrics pdf.

It shows a page with facts about how America created a new world order. However, this is the government version, and there's a hidden page which shows the truth.

In order to read it properly, grab the left section of the page and drag it to the right, and grab the top section and drag it down until it completes the rest of the text. It is also possible to open the flash file called road.swf.

This new page shows how past, current and predicted future events lead to the world described in Year Zero.

Once the hidden page is assembled, the broken text that is visible is a quote from "A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present" by Howard Zinn: "Arawak men and women, naked, tawny and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. They are well built, with good bodies and handsome fatures. They do not bear arms...With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."
