O’Malley: “…In a state of perpetual war to create “problem” “reaction” “solution” scenarios to distract, enrage and enslave American citizens at home.

The militarization of the police force in cities across the U.S. The building of prison camps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with no stated purpose. The corporate takeover of food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, even the military in clandestine agendas to fatten, dullen, sicken and control the populace already consumed by consumerism.”
(video clip of Bush just after 9/11/2001): “…and I encourage you all to go shopping more.”
O’Malley: “A government that taps your phone, collects your data, and monitors your whereabouts with impunity. A government preparing to use that data against you when it strikes. And the final takeover begins.”….

The X-Files’ Chris Carter Defends Premiere
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/01/24/the-x-files-chris-carter-defends-premiere-talks-mulder-scully-romance.html

EXCERPTS
…It’s a paranoid conservative talk-show host by the name of Tad O’Malley (Joel McHale, channeling Bill O’Reilly on speed) who gets the gang back together again. He contacts Mulder, who in turn seeks out Scully, to “blow up the most evil conspiracy the world has ever known”: a New World Order-like effort by the world’s governments to “fatten, dullen, and sicken” the world’s population, surveil its every move and, eventually, take over…

…But Carter, whose interest in the New World Order was sparked by Internet conspiracy sites and visits to conventions exploring subjects like the secret space program, maintains he was strictly discerning about which theories might actually work for the show.

“I didn’t just throw everything but the kitchen sink in, you know,” he says. “I really went through and chose the things that have some kernel of truth or, if not, some element of fear in them for everyone. It’s not just done carelessly, and it also does not necessarily represent my or the other producers’ point of view.”

In that way, he says, he shares Dana Scully’s philosophy. “I’m a skeptic by nature,” he says. “With this New World Order and with aliens and also the paranormal, you’ve got to prove it to me. That poster in Mulder’s office that says ‘I Want to Believe’ is pretty much my point of view. I wanna believe this stuff, but without proof or evidence, I’m reluctant.

“The show is really Scully’s show in the sense that science, real science, is the anchor,” he adds. “And if it weren’t for Scully, Mulder would just be a kook.”

The 58-year-old writer, surfer, and ex-journalist’s lifelong obsession with questioning the “truth” handed to us by authorities is at the heart and origins of The X-Files, which has relentlessly advised viewers for decades to “trust no one.”

“Watergate and the resignation of Richard Nixon happened while I was in my civics class in high school,” Carter says. “It was a big thing to me, and I think there was a residual effect for everyone of my generation, well into the ’90s.”

Generation X looked to The X-Files to channel its jaded distrust in authority—but that all changed, Carter says, on 9/11, a day that scarred the American psyche and left it looking to the government for hope rather than scrutinizing its every move.

“We [the writing and producing staff] went to work the day of the World Trade Center events,” Carter remembers. “And people were crying at work and it was just tragic and unsettling. It soon became clear that this was going to change everything in the country and, less importantly, for our TV show.

“We saw clearly that there was a much minimized interest in government conspiracies. [Instead] we put all our trust and faith in the government to protect us. And while The X-Files questions authority, we [Americans at the time] were searching for someone to protect us and provide us with homeland security.”

Today, in what Carter calls our post-Edward Snowden “Citizenfour world,” there has been a resurgence in mistrust in the government, spurred in part by the NSA’s breaches of privacy—making 2016 the perfect time, he says, to finally reopen the X-Files.

“So many of the rights and liberties that we gave up willingly have been abused,” he says. “The government admits it’s spying on us—presumably for our own good, but this is a frightening thing. A lot of people my age recognize that there is a lot of potential for abuse. People give up their privacy so willingly now, believing that if you’ve got nothing to hide, why not, but without understanding that that could also lead you down the path to injustice, that what you say today could be used against you tomorrow. What you buy today could be used against you tomorrow.”

“There’s a whiff of fascism there,” he adds. “These are frightening prospects for me.”

To Carter, the xenophobia and destructive rhetoric trumpeted by high-profile presidential candidates is a grim foreshadowing of the abuses of power inherent in Tad O’Malley’s vision of the future….

Gillian Anderson: I Was Offered Half Duchovny’s Pay for ‘The X-Files’ Revival
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/01/22/gillian-anderson-i-was-offered-half-duchovny-s-pay-for-the-x-files-reviva...

EXCERPTS
…Anderson, like Carter, says a resurgence of distrust in the American government, induced by everything from the NSA’s breaches of privacy to the lunacy of the current election cycle, have helped carve a place in 2016 for the opening of new X-Files—a marked shift from the end of the show’s original run, shortly after the events of September 11th.

“[The end of The X-Files] was during the Bush administration, and we learned very, very quickly after 9/11 that people couldn’t speak up openly in public about what they thought we should do, or shouldn’t be doing as the result,” Anderson says. “Most of our show up until that point was—and still is—about government conspiracies. There are conspiracies now about the government having known about or having caused [9/11], or about it being a ruse and an excuse for us to go into Iraq—but it became no longer OK for people to accuse government of being deceitful or untrustworthy. And that was the backbone of our show.”….

“Truth Squad with Tad O’Malley” News Show
O’Malley: “It comes down to this: It is a mainstream, liberal media lying to you about life, liberty and your god given right to bear fire arms. 9/11 was a false flag operation. It was a warm up to World War Three. Now hear me on this. It is all part of a conspiracy dating back to the UFO crash at Roswell.”

FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner: “Since 9/11, this country has taken a big turn in a very strange direction.”
Fox Mulder: “They police us, spy on us, tell us that makes us safer. We’ve never been in more danger.”

Mulder: “The tentacles reach far back into the last century. But it wasn’t until victories in Europe and Japan, and the onset of the Cold War that political and economic conditions became perfect for actual execution. A conspiracy bigger and more secret than the Manhattan Project.”
O’Malley: “More odious and far reaching.”
Mulder: “No sooner than we defeated Germany than a new threat started appearing in skies over America drawn to Earth by the latest threat to extinction, the H bomb. Explosions acting as transducers drawing alien life forms through worm holes in spaceships using electro-gravitic propulsion. Advanced extra-terrestrial species visiting us, concerned for mankind and the threat of our self-destruction, forestalling our annihilation through their own self-sacrifice. Crashes at Roswell, more importantly places like Aztec. World leaders signed secret memos directing scientific studies of alien technology and biochemistry. Classified studies were done at military installations …S-4, Groom Lake, Wright, Patterson and Dulce. Extracting alien tissue, tests were done on unsuspecting human subjects in elaborately staged abductions in craft using alien technology recovered from the downed saucers. Including human hybridization through gene editing and forced implantation of alien embryos.”
Sveta (guest star): “Why do such a thing and lie about it? Our own government?”
Mulder: “Your own government lies as a matter of course, as a matter of policy. The Tuskegee Experiments, …blackmail in the 30’s, Henrietta Lacks.”
Sveta: “What are they trying to do?”
Mulder: “That’s the missing piece.”
O’Malley: “But it is not hard to imagine. A government hiding, hoarding alien technology for 70 years at the expense of human life and the future of the planet, driven not only by corporate greed but a darker objective.”
Mulder: “The takeover of America.”
O’Malley: “And then the World itself, by any means necessary, however violent or cruel or efficient. By severe drought brought on by weather wars conducted secretly using aerial contaminants and high altitude electro-magnetic waves. In a state of perpetual war to create “problem” “reaction” “solution” scenarios to distract, enrage and enslave American citizens at home. (photos of George Bush on ship in Iraq) With tools like the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act which abridge the Constitution in the name of national security.

O’Malley: “A government that taps your phone, collects your data, and monitors your whereabouts with impunity. A government preparing to use that data against you when it strikes. And the final takeover begins.”
Dana Scully: “The takeover of America.”
O’Malley: “By a well-oiled and well-armed multi-national group of elites that will cull, kill and subjugate.”
Scully: “Happening as we sit here?”
O’Malley: “It is happening all around us.”
Mulder: “The other shoe waiting to drop.”
O’Malley: “It will probably start on a Friday. The banks will announce a security action necessitating their computers to go offline all weekend.”
Mulder: “Digital money will disappear.”
Sveta: “They can just steal your money?”
Mulder: “Followed by the detonation of strategic electromagnetic pulse bombs to knock out major grids.”
O’Malley: “In what will seem like an attack on America by terrorists or Russia.”
Mulder: “Or a simulated alien invasion using alien replica vehicles that exist and are already in use.”
Scully: “An alien invasion of the U.S.?”
Mulder: “The Russians tried it in ’47.”
Scully: “You can’t say these things.”
O’Malley: “I’m going to say them tomorrow.”
Scully: “You fear mongering, clap-trap, isolationists, techno-paranoia’s...so bogus and dangerous and stupid that it borders on treason. Saying these things would be incredibly irresponsible.”
Mulder: “It is irresponsible not to say it.”
Sveta: “Especially if it is the truth.”
