It's a beloved show (my fav of all time), and I think they're just pleasing fans and keeping it relevant. Perhaps they're testing the waters for a come-back. Network tv and Hollywood are businesses as well, and if there's money to be made in conspiracy they'll make it.
Normally I would agree 130% with you on this.
But having watched it something was just weird. The directness, the perfection in the explanation. Plus the actor for Moulder looks clearly unhappy to be even doing the acting. The difference from how he used to play the character to Now is disturbing. Unless his character is meant to look, sound, and seem emotionally dead suddenly.
It was just odd that they'd actually use only, and ONLY real world conspiracy theories of that grand nature and not that plus or minus other stuff. It was synchronistic too as I sat down to that episode right when that part came up, I didn't even see the rest of it, and I'm not a fan of the X-files. It scared me as a kid lol... even the intro music would make me leave the room.
ScottK, Ra says specifically that the US has Remotely Controllable Aliencraft That they would use to simulate an Alien Invasion if they really had to for the sake of Power. So that too was real-world-only based.
Cloud, I saw some of Lucifer, looked okay. Might be a desensitization ploy.
