Next guest lecture: Trent Reznor
...not really, but I figured we could all use something a bit (but not too much) lighter after The Devil Came On Horseback. It seems the Nine Inch Nails frontman has caught on to how to use media and the internet to make a political statement (and, in true American style, sell a few copies of his upcoming album to boot). The complex web of clues includes everything from tour t-shirts (the bolded letters spell out iamtryingtobelieve), to USB drives found in bathrooms, to propaganda images with an uncomfortable resemblence not to the dystopian future, but to our present Administration (click and drag on the image).

So maybe the replacement of Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's 'Hurt' in the rough cut of Jarecki's 'Why We Fight' by Bob Dylan' 'Not Dark Yet' in the final version is one more clue of the approaching Born Again Apocalypse? Let's ask Eugene. But also ask, when conspiracies go viral (media), how do we find ground zero? Still searching for that reality principle...
