black helicopter : ウィキペディア英語版
black helicopter

Black helicopters is a term which became popular in the United States militia movement and associated political groups in the 1990s as a symbol and warning sign of an alleged conspiratorial military takeover of the United States, though it has also been associated with men in black and similar conspiracies.〔(Black Helicopters - Crystalinks )〕 Rumors circulated that, for instance, the United Nations patrolled the US with unmarked black helicopters, or that federal agents used black helicopters to enforce wildlife laws. The concept may arise from the fact that many government agencies and corporations do use helicopters, and that some of these helicopters are dark-colored or black. For instance, dark-colored military helicopters were deployed in the standoff at Ruby Ridge.
Metonymic use of the phrase ''black helicopters'' sometimes occurs in reference to conspiracy theories in general.
==Overview==

Stories of black helicopters first appeared in the 1970s,〔(''A culture of conspiracy: apocalyptic visions in contemporary America'' )〕 and were linked to reports of cattle mutilation.〔(The Phenomena Department - Paranormal Events )〕 It is possible that the idea originated in Hal Lindsey's book ''The Late, Great Planet Earth'', published in 1970 and popular among conspiracy theorists. Lindsey theorized that the locust-like creatures referenced in the Book of Revelation were actually helicopters, which John had never seen and thus did not know how to describe.〔(Hal Lindsey, The Father of Apocalyptic Christian Zionism )〕
Jim Keith wrote two books on the subject: ''Black Helicopters Over America: Strikeforce for the New World Order'' (1995), and ''Black Helicopters II: The End Game Strategy'' (1998).
Media attention to black helicopters increased in February 1995, when first-term Republican northern Idaho Representative Helen Chenoweth charged that armed federal agents were landing black helicopters on Idaho ranchers' property to enforce the Endangered Species Act. "I have never seen them," Chenoweth said in an interview in ''The New York Times''. "But enough people in my district have become concerned that I can't just ignore it. We do have some proof."〔(Priorities - May/June 1996 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club )〕
The black helicopters theory resonates well with the belief held by some in the militia movement that troops from the United Nations might invade the United States. The John Birch Society published an article in ''The New American'' detailing how the existence of the covert aircraft was mostly the product of possible visual errors and a tendency towards overboard caution.〔(The Paranoid and the Paramilitary )〕
