Year Zero in 2022

According to both a statement from Trent Reznor and an image clue from The Year Zero Website entitled "I Am Trying To Believe"[1], Year Zero occurs in 2022.

Clue One

http://www.ninwiki.com/images/b/b0/Yz2022.jpg

The faded image to the left of the main article shows the date "2022", yet the article itself is reduplicated and clearer, showing the date "0000".

Clue Two

In an MTV News Article from February 15th, 2007[2] Trent Reznor reveals:

"Concept record. Sixteen tracks. What's it about? Well, it takes place about 15 years in the future. Things are not good. If you imagine a world where greed and power continue to run their likely course, you'll have an idea of the backdrop."

Clue Three

On the "Church of Plano" Website [3] under the heading "This Week's Sermons:", the date reads Sunday, February 13. Coincidentaly, February the 13th falls on a Sunday in the year 2022.

Clue Four

One of the shards from The Mailstrom contains the following:

 "Belize has completely recovered from hurrican Imagard in 2020–(that’s -2 BA for those of you on the American System) and rebuilding
 has led to improvements in our infrastructure!"
