The Mysterious Power of “Predictive Programming”

There is an exciting concept known among conspiracy theorists and media analysts as “predictive programming.” This term describes the idea that future events or elite plans are mysteriously encoded in popular media such as films, series or music videos long before they actually happen. The idea behind it? It is a subtle way of preparing us for what is coming or conditioning us to accept it as inevitable.

There are of course different gradations within these theories

Some of them sound like the stuff Hollywood blockbusters are made of: from catalytic events conjured by high-tech holograms to alien invasions. While such theories may be spectacular and difficult for some to believe, when you consider how often the mysterious date of September 23rd appears in media content, you begin to wonder if there isn't an element of truth in it. Other theories seem more sophisticated and are based on concrete, recurring patterns and clues found in a variety of media. For these analysts, it's not just a coincidence, but a pattern too big to ignore.

Conclusion: The revealing power of the calendar

“It's amazing how a tiny, innocent date - September 23, 2023 - can set the global pulse racing. Apparently we all have a little crime writer in us who can weave a global conspiracy from the slightest hint. As the world waits with bated breath for possible apocalypses or extraterrestrial visitors, this day might just be…an ordinary Saturday. But hey, if not, at least we can say: I told you so!” Until then, dear readers, let's remember that sometimes, very sometimes, a date is just a reason to have cake and eat with friends to celebrate. Or for global conspiracy theories fueled by TikTok. Cheers!
