All joking aside, there are people out there in the sparsely populated
areas of the Ozarks who believe in government "New World Order"
conspiracy stuff. They believe that there are "black helicopters" who
are monitoring them, and that the black helicopters are from the United
Nations. The Nature Conservancy is involved too, and their property
will eventually be confiscated, and they'll be put into camps so the
area around Ozark National Scenic Riverways can be turned into a
"Bio-zone" or some such nonsense.

In reality, there actually ARE black helicopters that fly around there.
They are DEA, and they're looking for marijuana cultivation. Do a
search on "Ozark National Scenic Riverways." It's a very beautiful
area.
