>FEMA is deep stateBravo Chris Carter
aliens are illegal immigrants when you think about it
This was a common conspiracy back in the day. I remember Alex Jones spending a lot of time on FEMA coffins. I have no doubt they were just storage totes or porta-potties. But it just goes to show you how easily led the proto-Trump crowd was.
Oh, yes.
>>223479341we could all need a bit of truth.
>>223479341This is never even remotely hinted at again at any point during the tv show's run. I always assumed it was one of Kurtzweil's many theories, some right, some wrong. Keep in mind that according to Well Manicured Man Kurtzweil was "a toiler, a crank".
>>223479341>It was all about the government developing a secret Uber virus to kill 99% while the remaining 1% are genetically modified hybrids of human and aliens>Everything else was a smoke screen to fool Mulder into spreading ayyylions n sheit to further discredit anyone looking into the conspiracy and turn people away from it.>You feel for it and drank the cool aid while at it.
>>223479385I remember that.It's crazy how many conspiracy theories started during the Bush era were really just ways to shift the blame from the incompetent government.
>>223480299>that picIs that AI lmao
It was pretty ballsy to show a re-enactment of the OKC bombing in a big budget summer movie barely 3 years after it happened. Even ballsier to call it out as a government false flag. I don't think you could get away with doing something like that today.
>>223480485FEMA as a shadow government is way, way older than Dubya. REX 84 happened in 1984 and got a ton of mainstream exposure in the late 80s. That was one of the big stories that got people talking, but FEMA was viewed with suspicion from the minute Carter established it.
>>223479736The badass chestburster Alien warriors from the movie show up in the episode right after it, then never again.
>>223480485>It's crazy how many conspiracy theories started during the Bush era were really just ways to shift the blame from the incompetent government.half of alex jones and qanon theories come from the xfiles which pulled from obscure conspiracy nuts from the 80s, i remember season 5 having an anti vax storyline that Infowars straight up copy and paste it
>>223481646>half of alex jones and qanon theories come from the xfiles which pulled from obscure conspiracy nuts from the 80sRead Behold a Pale Horse from 1991 and it's like an index card list of all the shit Alex will be harping on and some of the stuff they used in the show.
>>223479385And before Alex Jones, it was Rush Limbaugh. There was a lot of suspicion and distrust of the feds during the late '80s and '90s, and it was bipartisan. The left was still steaming over Iran-Contra and Rex 84B, and the right was up in arms (literally in the case of Tim McVeigh et al) over Ruby Ridge and Waco.
>>223482369After Ruby Ridge and Waco, G. Gordon Liddy was on the radio telling people to get a .30-06 rifle and surplus armor piercing ammunition to shoot at armored ATF agents. Or if you couldn't, to remember to aim for the head or groin. Even the normalfag NRA was calling them jackbooted Nazi thugs. People who weren't there don't really seem to get how spicy things were getting in the early and mid 90s. There was also a lot of Race War type stuff in the air after the LA Riots and the OJ verdict. It was also the era when disgruntled postal workers shooting up their workplace became a meme.
Boomers were fucking OBSESSED with JFK assassination theories in the 90s. Now that we know he was likely whacked for threatening to shut down Israel's illegal nuclear program, they are strangely silent.
