We Are Everywhere: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] ==

* ''[[Guyver]]''. The Zoanoids are everywhere.

* ''[[Grappler Baki]]'', possibly inspired by ''[[Fight Club]]'', pulls a similar stunt after a guy in a fighting club got killed. The waiter, the police, the owner of the amusement park, all of them are part of the club.

* Reasonably early on in ''[[Twentieth Century Boys]]'', Kenji learns that the cult lead by mysterious [[Big Bad]] Friend has members in high places, making his fight against them harder.

* The Night Slasher's speech at the end of ''[[Cobra]]'' follows this trope to the letter, but it's more of a crazed final rant than a accurate estimate of his actual following.

* ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'' has this exchange:

'''Mr. White''': The first thing you should know about us is that we have people everywhere. {{spoiler|''[Turns to M's bodyguard]'' Am I right? ''[The bodyguard opens fire on M and Bond]''}} }}

** M later [[Lampshaded Trope|lampshades it]]:

* In the trailers at least, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Eagle Eye]]'' claimed this. {{spoiler|It turns out it's both true and false. The [[Big Bad]] is a supercomputer that really is everywhere, at least everywhere with a networked computer. The "We" part isn't technically true; it has assumed itself to be "We the people" from the Constitution. It does more or less have people everywhere though, since it threatens anybody it wants to into doing exactly what it says to do.}}

 

** And interestingly, the main characters also convinced their enemies that this was the case with them as well (their powers were ideal for infiltration, sabotage and subterfuge).

* In the first [[Night World]] book, ''Secret Vampire'':

* This is the title of a 2003 collection of essays about the global justice movement (better known, including by many of the participants as the "anti-globalization" movement). The title is occasionally [[Title Drop|referenced by the people in the book]], who often [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] the irony of calling your movement "anti-globalization" and having "We Are Everywhere" as your motto.

 

** A child molester tried this as well.

** ''[[Law and Order UK]]'' features a Neo-Nazi suspected of killing a Jewish man with a letter bomb make a speech like this to which DS Ronnie Brooks gives a truly great response:

* 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.

* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' has Cerberus, the shadowy pro-human organisation with apparently bottomless funds and influence at every level of the Alliance. Rogue operatives tend not to live long, ''especially'' if they get picked up by the Alliance.

* In ''[[Deus Ex]]'':

* In ''[[Prototype 2]]'', Alex makes such a claim.

 

** In late July 2010, the Tea Party tried to [http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/7/28/888292/-Anonymous-1,-Oregon-Tea-Party-0 use Anonymous' slogan for their own ends.] Anonymous responded...rather sharply.

* Russian partisan girl Zoya Kocmodemianskaya, caught by Nazis and cruelly tortured before execution, [[Defiant to the End|said from under the gallows:]]

* Ted Bundy apparently once stated, "We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere! And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow!"
