Discovery
This website is mentioned on the Year Zero CD booklet.
Content
This website has the appearance of a rebel site like Art Is Resistance, but without a government pop-up. In the corner is a box where you can fill in your name and phone number to recieve "something to help fight back against this Administration". After filling in your information, the message "The password is RESISTANCE. Please stand by" apears. Shortly the phone number entered rings...
The Call
On answering the call a recording of a woman says the name entered and asks you for the password. Saying "Resistance" plays the rest of the recording while most other things will prompt the woman to tell you the password is invalid. The concept is that site was put up by the government to find rebels and it tells you that your emails, phone calls, everything will be monitored, and you will probably not be able to get a job. It also says it will send you information on how to make your punishment less severe. Saying "Art Is Resistance" does the same.
The statute that the call recording says you are pleading guilty under is 24.2.1.

Near the bottom of the page, the warning "You have chosen to fight America. America is fighting back" greets you. You have a chance to earn back your citizenship points by turning in just one person "you suspect of holding anti-american attitudes." The big "click here" button opens up an email blind carbon copied to informer@freerebelart.net that you can send to such a person and hope that they turn themselves in through the same trick you fell into.
after sending the message to your "friend" you recieve a email from informer@freerebelart.net:
