Goals and methods

An embodiment of the concept of the "shadow government" in conspiracy theory lore, the Syndicate comprised covertly allied, influential government officials and businessmen. The Syndicate, operating at the highest levels of power, concealed from the world a program by an unidentified extraterrestrial species to colonize and repopulate the planet, as well as their own plans and stake in that future, which they held to be inevitable.

To carry out murder, cover-ups, sabotage and other wetworks projects, the Syndicate used an unknown number of henchmen commonly referred to as the Men in Black. The Men in Black were merciless protectors of the conspiracy whose true names, like the members of the Syndicate, were rarely if ever known. Many worked ostensibly for the DOD, CIA, NSA, and other government agencies. Prominent Men in Black agents included X, Alex Krycek, the Crew Cut Man, and Quiet Willy.

Most of their meetings were held in a clandestine club located on West 46th Street in New York City, and did not involve Conrad Strughold. Meetings involving Strughold, who was unable to enter the United States possibly because it would draw too much attention and his family background tied back to the Nazi-era, were held in London. A possible front for the group, evidenced in the episode "Redux II", was a biotechnology firm called Roush. (In German, rausch means "intoxication" and rauch means "smoke" but the name may simply have been a tribute to then-USA Today TV critic Matt Roush, an influential early champion of The X-Files.[1]) Roush facilities were used in some experiments involving the virus, as shown in the Season 6 premiere "The Beginning". Also, according to Alvin Kurtzweil, when the takeover was to commence, which the Syndicate had originally set to occur about the year 2012, the Syndicate would have seized control by using the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which had the power to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national emergency.
