When I was a teenager I loved conspiracy theories. The FEMA one was big even back in the 90s. The idea was the government used FEMA to control the population. Stories of medical testing,drugs in the water a food they gave, even entire towns disappearing in FEMA camps.
Oh, yeah, back before YouTube or even the commercial internet, there were various crazy political groups that would send their videos to cable-access stations around the country. You would sometimes see their stuff played on late-night cable TV. I vaguely remember one that had to do with old rail yards being converted into FEMA detention camps or something. There was even an X-Files episode or two that riffed off of this stuff...it had quite an impact on '90s culture. The "FEMA camp" nonsense was even featured on Jesse Ventura's ridiculous TV show.
