Hmmm, think about this for a moment, if you will…. The movie “V For Vendetta” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rRn8kM4-ds) came out in 2006 and was based in the year 2020. Not everyone knows that it was originally a graphic novel written in the late 1980’s. It, too, had biological illness, the U.S. was in a civil war, and referred to as the “former United States”. Throughout the movie, you hear “Remember, Remember, The 5th Of November…” The United States Presidential elections will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. To add more creepy feeling to it, recently Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden comes out and says when he is elected, he will transform the United States. But with all this, I’m sure there is no need to worry because “good guys win, bad guys lose, and as always England prevails!”
How often have you sat back and thought about past events you’ve seen or read about, but for some reason or another it didn’t seem to fit or make sense at the time? I like to think of those moments, clips, or pieces as a puzzle for something to yet be revealed until the time is right. Sometime in the future, I will be looking back and it will hit me like a brick. Like one of those jigsaw puzzles with the small pieces that can be easily overlooked when searching for a specific piece that is missing that is needed to make the edge of the whole puzzle to fit together. I don’t know about you, but I like to put the four sides of the puzzle together first because it helps with the perspective of working from the outside in. Looking back at some of the TV shows and movies we’ve watched over the years might be something we need to do to get a glimpse of what is coming in our future, since a lot of us are having to stay in quarantine. To make it less boring, perhaps you should think of it as research. Instead of calling it self-quarantine, we could call it “self-educating”.
Another comic show I binge-watched recently was called “The Watchmen” (https://www.hbo.com/watchmen). The Watchmen graphic novel was published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, and collected in a single volume edition in 1987 (https://www.dccomics.com/characters/watchmen). Not exactly set in our time (or universe for that matter), it is set in an alternate reality, but it makes you think seriously about mass manipulation using tactics to scare people into doing one thing or another. It’s not another story about the abuse of government power either. It’s actually a group of people who are below the government, but above the people, if that makes sense. If you watched the movie that came out about a decade ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wglmbroElU0), this show takes place about 15 years or so later than the movie (34 years after the events of the comic series), but it does jump back into flashbacks of the past. And the cool thing is that it’s all based in Tulsa with little sporadic jumps to New York City, New Jersey, and the 51st state of Viet Nam. I don’t want to ruin the whole thing for you, but you gotta see it to believe it if you are a comic book fan. The reason why I bring this one up is because in the show, you can see some of the things that are happening now and yet the show was recorded in early 2019, before the recent riots of 2020.
I admit that it is interesting to think how these things keep working out. I don’t believe in coincidences and my curiosity sometimes gets the best of me when I research tragic events or situations, but I also try to rule out conspiracies. Conspiracy Theorist will tell you that this is part of a grander scheme that is already in play, using a technique called “Predictive Programming.” Predictive Programming is theory that the government or other higher-ups are using fictional movies or books as a mass mind control tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events. In other words, you may be watching a show now that portrays a horrible disaster that causes a tragic turn of events (maybe another 9/11) and in about 18 months from now, a very similar event actually takes place in real life. The steps that happen immediately following happened almost exactly as you watched on the TV Show or in a book.
Here’s a current example: a very well known author by the name of Dean Koontz wrote a book back in 1981 called “The Eyes Of Darkness” that you could almost swear that he predicted the COVID-19 outbreak (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dean-koontz-book-predicted-coronavirus). The fictional novel tells the story of a Chinese military lab that creates a new virus to potentially use as a biological weapon during wartime. The lab is ironically located in Wuhan, China (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/03/200317175442.htm) and the made-up virus is called Wuhan-400. In the novel, the virus is called the “perfect weapon” because it only affects humans. It also cannot survive outside the human body for more than a minute and does not require an expensive decontamination process once it spreads through a population and those who contract it. Currently, the coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China is causing panic throughout the world. The similarities between the book and real life are chilling.
Perhaps another “current prediction-come-true”, this one involves the longest running cartoon show on television today, “The Simpsons”. Back in the year 2000, the show had a story where Lisa Simpson was the new President of the United States following President Donald Trump. In 2016, that story became real when Donald Trump actually did become President. Another prediction was about the National Security Agency spying on American citizens back in 2007. That came true in 2013 courtesy of an American intelligence contractor, Edward Snowden, who revealed the existence of secret wide-ranging information-gathering programs conducted by the NSA (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Snowden). Funny thing is, most of the predictions made on that show seem to take place around several years later. So whatever predicted event or situation they put on the show today, chances are, something is going to come to fruition by 2027.
Here’s another interesting movie that is getting more and more into the fringes of Predictive Programming lately and I don’t think very many people are picking up on it yet. I make it no secret that one of my favorite all time movies is “Demolition Man” (https://youtu.be/GTrELyA8prM). For those of you who don’t know, Demolition Man came out in 1993 and it opens in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles (1996) where gang warfare is the order of the day. Psychotic gang leader Simon Phoenix (played by Wesley Snipes) has taken a bus load of hostages and the John ‘Demolition Man’ Spartan (played by Sylvester Stallone), disobeys orders to take down Phoenix. Unfortunately, Spartan is falsely accused of manslaughter for the deaths of the hostages and both Phoenix and Spartan are sent to a ‘cryo prison’. When Simon Phoenix escapes into a crime free utopian San Angeles (the areas of Los Angeles to San Diego and sometimes even San Bernardino to Riverside) in 2032, the police are not prepared to deal with his level of violence. They have no choice but to defrost John Spartan so he can take down Phoenix again. Some of the things that movie “predicted” included video calling /conferencing, Self-driving cars, computer tablets, voice activated appliances, you could add youtube to the list as the cop had to look up a video on his handheld communications device to find out how to take down a criminal, and how actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was portrayed as the 61st president while in real life he hadn’t planned on running for and winning the Governor of California seat. He served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 to 2011 (https://www.governors.library.ca.gov/38-Schwarzenegger.html).
Now here is one of the main parts I wanted to hit up on about that movie’s predictions: police. In that movie, the police weren’t trained to handle rough and rowdy criminals. Several times in the movie, the police were killed or brutally beaten down by the hardened criminals who were thawed out of the cryo-prison. The San Angeles Police Department has a very diplomatic approach to crime: Ask the criminals to stop doing what they’re doing. To be fair, the utopian world order that came to be took crime rate down significantly. The biggest criminal offense was the theft of food by “rebels” of the society. Other than that, cops were trained to speak to potential suspects in a calm tone, and the only force they exerted was that of a glow-rod that would render a person unconscious with no hurt to them. When I seen this movie, my first thought after noticing how wussiefied the police became was “what happened to cause this?” Well, with the way these riots and protests for the defunding of the police departments across the country are happening more, it’s becoming clearer and I’m afraid this movie might be telling us the outcome of what is happening. By defunding the police, you will get places like Los Angeles in 1996 as portrayed in the movie, you’ll see the most violent criminals in the most extreme calm places like in San Angeles, people with common sense and who know their rights will get pushed underground while those in power and privilege will be able to live above ground in a utopian society. Think about it, you can’t cuss or do anything offensive without being fined or jailed for thinking differently than society.
The other point I want to make is the fact that they had no physical contact due the diseases and viruses. According to the story, it’s because after AIDS, there was NRS, after NRS there was UBT. This caused the lack of human interaction: all skin-to-skin contact has been outlawed, including sex, kissing, handshakes, tight hugs, and even high-fives (sound familiar? https://coronavirus.dc.gov/sex). According to office Lenina Huxley (played by Sandra Bullock), physical interaction was banned after a series of illnesses and diseases ravaged the health of mankind and copulation was done out of the body at a lab. Not sure what those were acronyms for or what they were exactly, but if you were to compare it to the reaction of the public toward COVID-19, it’s not that far fetched of an idea that it was predicted. I’ll shoot one in the dark here with the idea of NRS, perhaps it was Nasal Respiratory Syndrome and its symptoms was similar to COVID-19? If this is what we are experiencing now, I would hate to see how the people will react to UBT. However, we still have another 12 years before that is to happen, so it could still become worse if this doesn’t become the new norm.
Predictive Programming is nothing new to the world. It was first described by researchers as “a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural progressions, thus lessening possible public resistance and commotion.” Predictive programming also can be a way to disclose something scary to people without panicking the population. For example, expose people to a few years of alien encounter movies, and then when you tell them it’s all real, they’re ready to believe and accept it. You could say it’s like coupling an idea with the drama and it’s downloaded like a virus into your subconscious and you’re being programmed.
People often will quickly judge those who seem to pick up these signs, calling them things like conspiracy nuts or paranoid. The truth is, you don’t have to be paranoid to see the signs that could be pointing you to an event or situation. In fact, if you do see something that makes a “ping” on your intuition radar, it’s good to keep that in mind. Be it a location, date and time, or a specific situation, you might be someone who needs to witness this in which is about to come to pass. Most people won’t see it in time unless they are “tuned in” to the intellectual frequencies. In other words, most people won’t even notice the writing on the wall because they aren’t paying any attention. Some of them won’t know anything until after the event plays out and someone else is talking about it on social media.
There are several cognitive contributions that can be attributed to predictive programming. Some are eerie and seem to be a sure thing but they could be resulting from Pareidolia (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/pareidolia). Pareidolia is seeing patterns in random stimuli and as theorists are looking through evidence for their belief they may begin to use a confirmation bias and see a pattern that does not actually exist. Interestingly enough pseudoscience (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pseudoscience) may play a role in the appeal of this theory. A lot of the basis of predictive programming can be attributed to the idea of Neuro Linguistic Programming (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/neuro-linguistic-programming-therapy) but after empirical testing there is no evidence that neuro linguistic programming even works. More importantly there is no link between the two. As mentioned before, predictive programming is meant to soften the blow of a traumatic event and create less of a reaction and a tendency to accept.
However, there are those who deem themselves as “experts” on the subject. I honestly do my best to avoid experts because when someone starts referring themselves as one, you know it’s the direct opposite. And who’s to say they aren’t correct? It’s the whole, “I could be right, you might be wrong” scenario. Predictive programming is a seemingly real phenomena but it is built up by facts that can be, I’ll say, a bit of a stretch at times, but no use arguing to a self proclaimed researcher and social media “expert” on the topic. With such easy access to all of the evidence and the tendency to not trust the government the patterns presented as evidence make predictive programming look like a real issue. To me, the real difference between those who are paranoid and those who are conspiracy analyst: “Evidence”. There are inconsistencies that are shown but for the most part the belief in predictive programming grows each time new evidence is presented.
