Line 48:
* Trope subverted on the ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' episode "Pirated" where the white supremacist militia leader threatens how his movement is everywhere and growing. The detectives, particularly Delko, respond that they are investigating every connection he has and expect a wave of arrests of his cronies in short order, which we see happening in [[Montages|a flurry of images]] as the police swoop in to bust the terrorists. The militia leader is left stunned to hear that his organization is being smashed so quickly.
* A variation in the same vein as this trope occurred on ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' in the season three finale "The Adversary" where a defeated [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|changeling]] who has been sneaking around the ship trying to sabotage it tells Odo that the Changelings are Everywhere. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in a later episode, where a Changeling informs Captain Sisko that there are only four Changelings operating on Earth, and that they find the Federation's fear of being infiltrated more effective than actually doing it.
** Before that, a semi-early 2-episode-arc of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|TNG]] featured a paranoid captain warning Picard of "strange happenings" with Starfleet Command. It turned out to be caused by a race of mind-controlling parasites that had already infiltrated every level of SFC's upper echelons, and was spreading out through the most prominant captains to be able to spread even further. Picard and Riker end up blasting what looks like a queen, spend the last five minutes of the show wondering how bad things have become... [[Canon
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', when Garibaldi interrogates [[The Mole]] who shot him in the back, he is met with arrogant self-assurance: "There's a new order coming back home, Garibaldi. You can either be part of it, or you can be stepped on. A winner or a loser. I'm with the side that's gonna win." {{spoiler|The prisoner's confidence is borne out when friends in high places arrange his disappearance on his way back to Earth for trial.}}
** The very scene which leads to him getting shot in the back while trying to arrest a terrorist is a veiled [[We Are Everywhere]] moment.
