THE BAY BRIDGEThis is the bridge that was blown up in the beginning of Little Brother. Marcus would keep this

photo to remember how times used to be before the terrorist attack.

MARCUS‘ CELL PHONEMarcus would keep his phone as a

memento to remind him of his time

in prison and how it all started

because he refused to unlock it

when the DHS demanded him to.

The logo of the DHS.

A simple thing to keep. I think that Marcus would keep a copy of this particular logo to show who he was fighting against and how absurd the idea is, having to fight the DHS; who was supposed to protect them.

XNETThe Xnet was a huge part of how the

fight began. It connected all of those

fighting against the gov't and much

of what occurred would not be

possible without its existence.

FASTRAKThe gov’t was tracking people in one

way by using the FasTrak. I think it

was the start of people getting

annoyed, to say the least, with the

gov't.

MARCUS’ FIRST BLOG ON XNETTHIS IS WHERE HIS 'FAME‘ ON XNET STARTED, THIS WAS HIS FIRST BIG MOVE ON THE DHS.

“The important thing about security systems isn't how they work, it's

how they fail.

Maybe all the automatic screening is supposed to catch a terrorists.

Maybe it will catch a terrorist sooner or later. The problem is that it

catches _us_

The more people it catches, the more brittle it gets. If it catches too

many people, it dies.

Get the idea?” (Doctorow, 127, 2008)

DON'T TRUST ANYONE OVER 25A poster from the event at Dolores Park. 'Don't trust

anyone over 25’ was the motto. The police gassed

everyone when they didn't disperse and later said that the

group had attacked them.

MARCUS’ SPEECH TO THE WORLDOR, THE REPORTERS WHO WANTED INFO

> Good evening and thank you all for coming. My name is M1k3y and I'm not the leader of anything. All around you are Xnetters who have as much to say about why we're here as I do. I use the Xnet because I believe in freedom and the Constitution of the United States of America. I use Xnet because the DHS has turned my city into a police-state where we're all suspected terrorists. I use Xnet because I think you can't defend freedom by tearing up the Bill of Rights. I learned about the Constitution in a California school and I was raised to love my country for its freedom. If I have a philosophy, it is this: > Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and

happiness. > I didn't write that, but I believe it. The DHS does not govern with my consent. > Thank you

(Doctorow, 235)

Barbara’s article.

Marcus would keep a copy of Barbara's article because it was, essentially, his story.
