Government corruption was always one of the main themes that played out in the classic television show X-Files, and it was typically shown in the form of UFO and alien cover-ups. However, the shows creator said in a recent interview that the new revival of the series will also touch on some of the more political conspiracies that take place in our world.
X-Files creator Chris Carter said Edward Snowden and issues like the 9/11 conspiracy will be fair game in the new revival of the show. The new series will feature the same classic characters, David Duchovny as Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully.
A lot of the rights and liberties that were signed away [with the Patriot Act] are being abused now, and no one seems to care, Carter said.
We see the admitted spying by the government. These are not things were making up and it informs everything Mulder and Scully are doing, he added.Entertainment Weekly reported that the new series featured issues like, war in the Middle East, NSA spying, chem-trails (here called aerial contaminants), police militarization, supposed FEMA prison camps, and the eventual military takeover of America by a UN-like group of multinational elites.
The idea of a New World Order is relevant, Carter says.
The article states that this elaborate web of conspiracies will tie back to the alien cover-up that took center stage in the older series.
Carter continued,
Ive kept my finger to the wind and trying to figure out whats relevant and possible credible. People know the show deals with science and fact and also deals with far-flung theories about not only the supernatural but government conspiracies. It throws out as many questions as it does answers. And I have to say what its done for me and the writers it has given us a whole new open field which to run. Its given the show an interesting new life and context that it might not have had in 2002.
The first X-Files movie was kinda lame, kinda over the top.
The second movie was just plain awful.
I haven't heard any reviews yet of the quality of the new series.

Well I guess your job is done here now Deckard. The X-Files are back so you no longer have to post CTs here. They will do all that work.
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
