We know tell-u-vision is a mind altering machine and why content is called programming. Great essay!

I see this predictive programming in Netflix series and movies, they are promoting an agenda. One of the things I think is happening is that the cabal tells us what they are going to do, and then do it. Time and again. It is almost like an "I dare you to stop us" thing. It is difficult to tell which is the predictive programming and what is the vision of a future world, as a warning. One thing for sure Orwell's 1984 was a warning.

As a kid I loved MAD magazine. The spy V spy cartoons were great, then I became one of those and it had even more meaning. In the world of spy-craft it is really impossible to tell the good guys from the bad guys. It is an upside down world.

Thank you for sharing your insight; it means a lot. I observe that predictive programming is noticeably repetitive throughout cartoons and movies. Timing is a significant factor as well. On the other hand, the delivery of warnings is more sporadic and less intense throughout animations, films and movies in general. My two cents.

Interesting points. If I may be so bold as to add to the fray.

I often ponder the philosophies, tales, and eventual ends of civilizations that came before us. Every civilization, every society has its rules to live by or tales of consequences when those rules are broken or forgotten or even ignored. I believe they had gone through the same things we are - albeit on a slightly different path. But stories such as The Tower of Babel contain many of the problems we face now, if you can read between the lines. It’s not much of a stretch to say that this too might be predictive programming - though they are more a warning that we, like so many ancient civilizations choose to ignore. The Bible even has The Mark of the Beast, setting those aside for a specially difficult life, easily equated with the microchips and credit cards of today. Though those stories would be to far between ages of understanding to hold such a moniker.

I suppose it is only when the mundane cultural musings come to pass that we suddenly put the various dots together and can claim something as being predictive programming. Remember that the early 90’s had attempts upon the towers, as well as several pandemics that were all well known. Including them into media wasn’t that unusual. In the cases of such scenes in media that seem to warily relate to situations today, I Am on the fence about being predictive programming or even intentional warnings. I do think they are markers that reflect the path we are set upon walking. And if we see the similarities to today, we can be assured that we are headed in the same direction as we were; somehow dead set upon throwing ourselves, and everything around us into the end of our own short lived age.

Depending upon any faith you might have that will be a good thing or a bad thing.

It is real.. all right.. but it is not the Mark of the Beast that is for sure. :)

Thank you for your thoughtful insight; it is much appreciated. Yes, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was viewed as a terrorist attack, and similar scenes might have been included in children's media. I am more suspicious of scenes of pandemic outbreaks, particularly regarding the portrayal of public response. For example, it is conceivable to envision a non-scheming government or medical community's common sense, down-to-earth response to a viral infection (with an over 90% survival rate) that doesn't result in hysteria and locking healthy people in their homes. But we are constantly exposed to fear-mongering language that is meant to invoke anxiety--and ultimately, compliance.

Predictive programming is a modern-day phenomenon due to two main advances in technology and research: mass communication (e.g., television, radio, the Internet) and psychology (and the ability to manipulate individuals on a mass scale). I recognize that such media scenes "are markers that reflect the path we are set upon walking." My suggestion is that predictive programming is deliberately used to normalize and reduce hesitancy towards this path.

Thank you. Brought back some interesting memories. Does anybody remember when they started putting "SWAT" police shows on T.V. Before that, police in black military gear with military style weapons were never seen on the street.

What will it take to wake parents up? They seem like so many lemmings going over a cliff... and taking their children with them.

Indeed. Thank you for your insight. Hopefully, our shared and read articles will awaken a subset of parents.

Watch the cartoon movie ‘Zootopia,” released in February 2016 about how the media hysteria about threatening behaviors by the normally placid predators leads to a devastating breakdown in civil discourse in tolerant Zootopia as all predators are “cancelled” from their jobs etc .. in the end a plant-based drug injected into unsuspecting animals by a power mad government worker who aspires to take over as mayor .. now in 2022 the lamb’s speech about ruling through fear is chilling...

frankly. and I am not up to a lengthy analysis tonight this goes far deeper than anything you have mentioned: off the top of my head the Asian/Thailand/ Porn.. and also some of the Japanese porn has been part of predictive programming for years. I took a hard look at Pokeman which my son collected,, (I call myself the Italian Jewish mother, mostly Italian).. years ago.. but many many years ago and I mentioned this before as a Christian, I took a long hard look at all "gaming devices" to see check for hyper sexualization (maybe it was my catholic upbringing), but the first time I realized I was not seeing things.. was when I read a book called SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION.. I am sure it is still out there, as an adult. Secondly.. as I mentioned before in another post about https://marshallmcluhan.com/ or Marshall Mcluhan who as all the rage in intellectual circles. You will see the connection immediately.. around that time which was the peak of the FREE LOVE.. hippie generation which I did NOT participate in.. because I was a serious student of the nature of the man. I didn't see the Free Love generation as free or loving: I viewed it as drugged fests of debauchery.. and in large part because I was an avid reader of science fiction: which brings me to the more sinister portion of my brief comments on these GROTESQUE versions of humans. I won't get into the HUMAN HYBRIDS with aliens part because I am not sure that really exists. My beliefs tend more towards there is an EVIL force on this planet (Jesus acknowledged) whose job it is to destroy God's plan for humanity and destroy the MALE AND FEMALE design. Other writers in this genre say the same thing. I will post a couple links for your perusal or not. I know everyone is busy, I am just waiting for my car to be worked on.. sigh.

1973 https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5413249M/Subliminal_seduction. Free and I read it back then.. amazing. there are updated versions of it,, but that is the beginning. Then there are some really far out things in the Christian community.. but I like to read about all such things. Thomas Horn and his books on Human Hybrids.. I find this almost impossible to believe but if it is out there someone knows something. https://www.skywatchtv.com/2022/03/24/non-human-mutants/ (WHEW!!) but I just stick to what I know best. "It is a free gift of God, lest any man should boast" and read Timothy, and Jesus words in case stuff gets too crazy." One more note: the Japanese in real life did have a lot of human mutations (sadly) after the U.S dropped the Bomb on them. I actually met two children as a child here in Alexandria whose mother was Japanese (Army base), one had four fingers and her brother had six fingers. and they told me it was from being born in Japan and a genetic mutation. SO that is ALL THE HIGH STRANGENESS I can share tonight. OH BTW.. my personal belief is that some exposure to many of the radiation "secret" in the world has increased mutations and contributed to mental illness which is what I consider LGBTQ+ and I don't care who says what: GOD CAN FORGIVE AND RESTORE to normal, the phylogeny of the genetics is permanent but at least they will have their soul.. which is immortal.. :) The DNA IS THE MICROCHIP.. and men have figured out how to manipulate it.. but imperfectly as they are imperfect. PTL.. :)

Thank you for your deep insight, it is much appreciated.

I’ve noted the book called "Subliminal seduction" by Wilson Bryan Key (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5413249M/Subliminal_seduction) and will check out Marshall Mcluhan (https://marshallmcluhan.com). Also, thank you for info. around "human hybrids" (https://www.skywatchtv.com/2022/03/24/non-human-mutants).
