some rando dingaling Alex Jones birchers have approached me to talk about some kind of garbled cartoon conspiracy.

They'd hand me a business card which described the attack they said was coming, with a website cited on it as the only source for info.

The general idea was that at some future randomly picked mass event, sports, concert, whatever, some nefarious entity would send a false flag statement about a crisis or attack underway, to everyone's cell phones, in order to stampede the crowd, and cause mass casualties.

They had a forgettable name for it, something - i - pede, I recycled their informational business card and never gave their website any traffic. Probably has a virus on it. It would be ironic if the recipient of the card looked at the website on their smart phone and got a virus on it.

Anyhow, shitler using the Nat'l WEA System to make pronouncements kind of reminds me of those Jones nazi birchers' little conspiracy card, for some reason.
