The U.S. Center of Anti-American Activities was an organization operating in the United States of America before the Great War.
Background[]
The center worked to vilify communism and any associated thought in the US. They paid for and directed the pre-War propaganda film, I Married a Maoist.[1]
Appearances[]
The U.S. Center of Anti-American Activities is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Once in a Blue Moon update.
Behind the scenes[]
- The U.S. Center of Anti-American Activities is likely a reference to the House Un-American Activities Committee, a House investigative committee operating through much of the Cold War.
- It may also a reference to the Unamerican Activities Force, an organization planned to be mentioned in the cancelled Fallout 3 project Van Buren.

Lorraine: "Hi Mary. I'd love to catch up, but I need to step out if I'm going to have enough time to pick up Junior from his baseball game. Oh, and then I need to also grab groceries and prepare a loving home cooked meal for when Robert gets home."
Narrator: "Little did she know what returned home that evening was not her beloved..."
Lorraine: "Welcome home, honey. Robert... what seems to be the matter?"
Robert: "It's been a hell of a day. You remember John? He got tangled up in one of the machines at the factory today, and and he'll never walk again."
Lorraine: "[gasp] That's terrible!"
Narrator: "But the terror was just beginning."
Robert: "It only happened because the boss had him pulling 80 hour weeks. The boys and I are thinking of talking with the higher-ups about our conditions. If they don't listen, then by golly I don't know what I'll do. Maybe we'll stop working!"
Lorraine: "Robert, darling, that sounds like... a protest!"
Robert: "Well, what if it is? I think a hardworking American is entitled to fair compensation for a fair day's work! If this system won't work, then maybe we just need to abolish it!"
Lorraine: "I-I-I left the stove on. Give me a minute."
Narrator: "Run... don't walk to your nearest theater to see every American's worst nightmare."
Officer MacArthur: "Officer MacArthur speaking, what's your emergency?"
Lorraine: "I think I... I married a Maoist!"
Narrator: "Witness what happens when horror comes home! Fear communism like never before when you see the reds in full PanaLuxe color, only in: I Married a Maoist!"
Narrator: "[quickly] Paid for and directed by the U.S. Center of Anti-American Activities."
