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 it tells you to fill in your name and phone number. After filling in your information, the message "The password is RESISTANCE. Please stand by." Simply clicking on "Submit" without entering any information takes you to a new page where you are a threat.

The Call

A recording of a woman says your name and asks you for the password. Saying "Resistance" plays the rest of the recording. The 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.

The statute that the call recording says you are pleading guilty under is 24.2.1, which is the same as the site number.

You Are A Threat

Even if you don't enter any information into the form on the main page, you are notified that your computer is tagged, phone lines tapped, and all email will be opened before you get it. Every aspect of your private life is now open to "invasive search" and all cameras around town will be fixed on you. Further, your browsing history has been logged and the Bureau of Morality will investigate it. Your driving, marriage, and parenting licenses have all been "SUSPENDED/DENIED."

Essentially the same message is played if you call this number, 18864456580, as well.

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 that you can send to such a person and hope that they turn themselves in through the same trick you fell into.
