Episode 249: October 4th 5G Zombie Apocalypse
Added 2023-10-03 19:18:54 +0000 UTCOn 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.

2023-10-06 20:25:21 +0000 UTCSo, funny story: got up quite early on the 4th, listened to this as I got ready for work. There was a knock at the door. It was our next door neighbor in an absolute panic, letting us know that there would be some (unspecified) apocalypse when the signal went off. She was pulling her daughter out of school, and urged us to do the same with ours. At the very least, we needed to wrap our phones in two layers of foil, and each wear a lil sticker that she had charged up with good vibes (my word, not hers).
