[ WP ] Someone widely presumed to have been a crackpot turns out to have been right all along .

One shot and the world got a whole lot larger. It was n't expected, wanted or reasonable, and the entire Internet was pissed that one nutter was somehow correct, while millions of far smarter people managed to all be wrong, despite all reason, logic and sanity being on their side. 2020 was shaping up to be a weird year. 
 
 The last major politician killed right in front of us all was JFK, at least, that's what most people think. What they do n't remember is that he was kept alive on machines for a while after his death. We did n't see him die, any more than we had any other big name. Then some reporter with a chip on his shoulder turned his camera into a gun and killed the president. Yes, the US one. Not the president of your Summer Glau fanclub, weirdo. 
 
 Well, the general public never saw such a high ranking person outright die before their eyes any time in the last several decades. So, none of us knew what was about to happen. Apparently, though, it is pretty easy being green, so long as you're also a shapeshifter. Goddamn reptilians. How the hell was Alex Jones right? Of all lunatics, Alex friggin Jones? 
 
 Well, the pres died, and shifted back to... it's?... natural form. A tall, green lizard person. Screams of terror were heard, the media swooped in, the killer was gunned down by the Secret Service, and all of us were pissed off. A common joke that's been going around is that we'd have rather been secretly controlled than ever have Alex Jones proven right. Witch hunts against politicians finally happened at least, and we figured out that we could test them with fire. Turns out, John Carpenter had some bad experiences with a reptilian and hid the solution for us. Still, Alex Jones. It's just embarrassing.
