Episode Description
On October 4th FEMA, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA).
For those of us in the normie world, this is a dull bureaucratic event. But conspiracists, it’s something much more — a potentially catastrophic event. One that will spread illness and disease that may even transform people into zombies.
In this episode, we dive into the conspirituality gurus who started this bonkers rumor, how it borrowed from earlier conspiracy theories, and how it took a life on its own among online conspiracists.
