The X-Files is an excellent science fiction show premised on asking the question, “What if there were actually some good FBI agents?”
Yeah, that’s the least believable part of the series.
Some X-Files characters knew…
The original True Anon Podcast:
TrueAnon rule for life: If an FBI agent says they’re not going to hurt you, you’ll be dead within a day.
Yung Chomsky almost certainly has a suit like Byers.
I’m rewatching the show right now and just got the first Lone Gunmen appearance the other day. I came to the conclusion:
Bryers = Yung Chomsky
Langley = Liz
Frohike = Brace
“Check it out Mulder, I had breakfast with the guy who shot JFK this morning… it was craaayyyzzzyyy…”
I WANT TO BELEIVE (THAT MULDER AND SCULLY COULD EXIST)
In fairness to Chris Carter, he drew on a lot of real-world evil schemes. For example he explicitly called out Operation Paperclip and Unit 731 in the show.
The Lone Gunmen mentioned the School of America training assassins in one of the Xcode’s episodes, although they don’t explicitly say anything about Latin America.
I want to believe
Or Twin Peaks, the spin off of X-files
Technically, Twin Peaks came out a few years before The X-Files.
The four words you never want to hear: “I’m With The FBI”
“oh good, I was just uhhhhhhh registering to vote and then going home to watch tv”
Said the spider to the fly.
lmao and then she proceed to get them killed 4 minutes later
They also make the NSA and the CIA into some kind of Deep State, Illuminati alligned organizations, but the FBI is weak and an outliner of some sort
Wouldn’t it be realistic in the real world? The FBI’s nominal goal is to investigate crimes, so it wouldn’t have a reason to have extensive knowledge of deep-deep state plans like alien sex and experimentation. Even the people in MKULTRA didn’t have extensive knowledge about the program since they all got drugged during a retreat and not all the university psychologists were told about the intelligence connection.
To some degree, sure, but the FBI was always the explicitly political arm of the deep state (the Mormon army, Hoover’s political racket, Italian and Irish mafia support over minority crime, COINTELPRO and anti-civil rights stuff etc etc)
In some ways, while perhaps less ‘deep’ the FBI could definitely be considered more of the ‘state’.
Whereas for most of its history the CIA was a kind of stateless, private intelligence operation that just managed to grift funding from the US state. Obviously there was often alignment with Washington, but it really did work almost entirely in its own (meaning a private club of ultra wealthy or specifically connected individuals) interests even when they ran against the state.
Very deep, but not much state, at least not until the 80s/90s.
The FBI is definitely the muscle of the deep state. They wouldn’t be privy on the agenda, but they would definitely be the ones hunting anyone who is.
Oh absolutely.
3 sentence horror stories
They were always more the concentrated harassment campaign until you hurt yourself types.
They shot and killed Ibragim Todashev in his own home during an interrogation.
Plus any number of Black Panthers and civil rights figures. Waco, Ruby Ridge, various militia adjacent stuff. Skirmishes like Wounded Knee. Facilitating the MOVE bombing. And God help you if you’re an FBI informant or asset in a scheme that goes sideways.
Or even a scheme that goes as planned. “Tear up Texas!”
Yeah, I forgot that one!
