Incendiary Packages and Government Preparedness PSAs
Incendiary packages were sent to government officials, including Janet Napolitano, which the Los Angeles Times characterized as part of a "vendetta." The hosts link this terminology to the film "V for Vendetta" and suggest it targets specific political demographics. Concurrently, the government is airing public service announcements through Ready.gov, urging citizens to prepare for disasters and power outages, which the hosts interpret as a campaign to maintain a state of public anxiety.
