The collective nickname for three characters in the
X-Files, Melvin Frohike, Richard Ringo Langly and
John Fitzgerald Byers. Three computer hacking geeks who publish the fictitious newsletter, called the "Lone Gunmen." Originally their newsletter was called "The Magic Bullet," but for some reason it was changed in the show. A positive term instead of 'conspiracy
nut.' The Lone Gunmen were dissident heroes who fought
government corruption and conspiracy. Soon, very soon, anyone who admits a liking of this television series
will be arrested and tortured under the new law voted on by congress and the senate, where anyone who even speaks critically of any action of the government can be imprisoned, tortured and 'detained' forever without trial, evidence or charge. Welcome to the New World Order.
n. plural - Conspiracy
nut, conspiracy freak, conspiracy theorist, conspiracy
geek, conspiratologist.
