Speaker 1: Morning. This episode's going to disturb you and is going
0:03
Speaker 1: to make you question everything you thought you knew. On
0:06
Speaker 1: a clear September morning in two thousand and one, the
0:08
Speaker 1: world stood still as unfolded in the skies above America,
0:12
Speaker 1: a day that would be forever etched into history and
0:15
Speaker 1: remembered as On that morning, commercial planes carrying hundreds of
0:19
Speaker 1: passengers into the twin towers of the World Trade Center,
0:23
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, leaving thousands in
0:27
Speaker 1: a nation in mourning. The images of collapsing towers and
0:30
Speaker 1: billowing smoke became symbols of a new era of fear
0:33
Speaker 1: and resilience, and also ushered in a new technological surveillance
0:37
Speaker 1: state and mass paranoia in America. I have a lot
0:40
Speaker 1: of thoughts on but I'm going to save those for
0:42
Speaker 1: the episode that I'll be releasing later this year. It's
0:46
Speaker 1: one of the longest scripts that I've ever had the
0:48
Speaker 1: pleasure of working with my team to write and research,
0:50
Speaker 1: and it is incredibly thorough and incredibly disturbing. So we'll
0:54
Speaker 1: get to that though later on this fall. In the
0:56
Speaker 1: aftermath of the says people sought to understand in this catastrophe,
1:01
Speaker 1: something strange happened. As people began to look back to
1:04
Speaker 1: the days, months, and years before the tragedy, They began
1:06
Speaker 1: to uncover eerie instances in television shows, movies, music, and
1:11
Speaker 1: art that seemed to have somehow predicted the upcoming tragedy,
1:15
Speaker 1: sometimes in extremely eerily accurate detail. From television shows to
1:19
Speaker 1: album covers, these works contained imagery or themes that disturbingly
1:23
Speaker 1: mirrored the events of that fateful day, almost as if
1:27
Speaker 1: they were warning us of an impending disaster to come.
1:30
Speaker 1: Were these all mere coincidences or did these people tap
1:33
Speaker 1: into some deeper foresight advanced knowledge. Were they really predicting
1:37
Speaker 1: this tragedy or was someone warning us, preparing us for
1:40
Speaker 1: it behind the scenes. On today's show, we're going to
1:43
Speaker 1: be exploring these bizarre and frightening predictions, delving into the
1:46
Speaker 1: haunting connections between art and reality, and analyzing what all
1:50
Speaker 1: of this could mean. Welcome to the Conspiracy Files, all right, everybody. So,
2:01
Speaker 1: like I said in that intro, I will be doing
2:04
Speaker 1: a full episode later this year. It's already written and researched.
2:08
Speaker 1: But it's a very heavy, sensitive topic, so I want
2:11
Speaker 1: to treat it with care and respect. But there's I mean,
2:14
Speaker 1: it's the og conspiracy theory, like one of the big
2:17
Speaker 1: theories that you know, so many people believe in because
2:20
Speaker 1: there's so much surrounding that day, in the months and
2:24
Speaker 1: years before it, and end the time period after that
2:27
Speaker 1: just do not make sense. And if there's anything that
2:31
Speaker 1: you should have learned from listening to the show for
2:34
Speaker 1: almost a year now, it's that you cannot trust the
2:37
Speaker 1: government at all. I do not trust the government at all.
2:41
Speaker 1: No administration do I really trust or you know, like
2:46
Speaker 1: it's because these people have totally different goals in life
2:49
Speaker 1: than you do. They're not out there to try protect
2:52
Speaker 1: the poor in our society. They're not out there to
2:54
Speaker 1: try help the veterans who come back wounded with mental
2:57
Speaker 1: health issues. They're not there to protect children. I talk
3:00
Speaker 1: about this all the time on the show. These people
3:02
Speaker 1: always act in their self interests. They care about money
3:06
Speaker 1: and power, and that's it. Regardless of the messaging that
3:10
Speaker 1: they send to you, that you interpret that you receive,
3:12
Speaker 1: they don't give about you or me. They only give
3:15
Speaker 1: about themselves. How fat their pockets are, how big their
3:19
Speaker 1: houses are, how many people they can control, and the
3:22
Speaker 1: strings that they have access to pull behind the scenes.
3:25
Speaker 1: That's my two cents. But we're not talking about all
3:27
Speaker 1: of that today. We're gonna be diving deep into these predictions.
3:30
Speaker 1: I remember first seeing one of these years ago on
3:33
Speaker 1: some sort of a forum and thinking, Wow, that's incredibly bizarre.
3:36
Speaker 1: But after doing the research for this episode, I did
3:38
Speaker 1: all of this myself today, I was a little bit spooked.
3:41
Speaker 1: There are some you know, references or predictions, whatever you
3:44
Speaker 1: want to call these, that you're going to see in
3:46
Speaker 1: this video that I don't think you've seen before. There's
3:49
Speaker 1: some really really deep stuff here, and I don't know,
3:53
Speaker 1: it's really weird. Some of these are really creepy, if
3:57
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Also, guys, I just launched a Patreon,
4:01
Speaker 1: so I've heard from lots of people that they dislike
4:04
Speaker 1: the censorship. It's not my fault I have to do
4:06
Speaker 1: it or my videos get restricted or removed on here.
4:08
Speaker 1: It's not even about the monetization. It's about not getting
4:11
Speaker 1: age restricted really at the end of the day. But
4:13
Speaker 1: if you guys want to see the videos fully uncensored,
4:16
Speaker 1: I just started uploading them fully uncensored with the Simpsons episode.
4:21
Speaker 1: So from now until the future, every episode is going
4:24
Speaker 1: to be released on Patreon, early ad free and completely uncensored.
4:29
Speaker 1: So if you want to help support the show and
4:31
Speaker 1: you like what I'm doing here, please consider joining me
4:33
Speaker 1: on Patreon. I'm also going to be posting bonus stuff
4:36
Speaker 1: and some goodies and articles and links to things that
4:38
Speaker 1: I think are interesting. I have tons. I'm Courtney. My
4:42
Speaker 1: wife goes crazy because I tell her, like, at eleven
4:44
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, I'll find this conspiracy or some sort
4:47
Speaker 1: of story that's really intriguing to me, and I'll like
4:50
Speaker 1: tell her about it, and she's like, dude, it's eleven
4:52
Speaker 1: at night and I'm trying to go to bed and
4:53
Speaker 1: my mind's just racing. So I'm just going to post
4:56
Speaker 1: like links and stories that I find to be very
4:58
Speaker 1: interesting on the patreons, so hopefully we can build a cool,
5:01
Speaker 1: supportive community on there. But anyways, back to the episode.
5:04
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the show, thank you for listening.
5:07
Speaker 1: If you're watching the show, thank you for watching. Please
5:10
Speaker 1: be sure to leave me a like and a comment,
5:12
Speaker 1: Share this video out on all of your social media.
5:15
Speaker 1: This show is only growing because of you guys. Obviously,
5:17
Speaker 1: the people here on this platform don't necessarily want to
5:20
Speaker 1: see this show grow to big. I've fought intensely behind
5:24
Speaker 1: the scenes for the past year to just bring the
5:26
Speaker 1: show to life. But alike, and a comment and any
5:28
Speaker 1: interaction you could have with the video helps push this
5:31
Speaker 1: thing out in this channel out to more people. But anyways,
5:35
Speaker 1: without further ado, let's just get into this. The phenomenon
5:39
Speaker 1: of predicting future events through creative works isn't new. I mean,
5:42
Speaker 1: just look at the episode that I recently did about
5:45
Speaker 1: the predictions made by The Simpsons, but the case of
5:48
Speaker 1: to Me at least stands out particularly due to the
5:51
Speaker 1: specificity and frequency of such predictions. Television shows like The
5:55
Speaker 1: Simpsons and The Lone Gunman in the months or years
5:58
Speaker 1: before the attacks featured plot or distinct visuals that, in
6:01
Speaker 1: retrospect definitely appear to foreshadow the attacks, and once people
6:06
Speaker 1: noticed one prediction in media, they began to search for others.
6:09
Speaker 1: Soon enough. In the years after the attacks, movies, music, comics, novels,
6:14
Speaker 1: and even video games were scrutinized by people all across
6:17
Speaker 1: the world in search of predictions, and some of them
6:20
Speaker 1: grew notorious for their uncanny resemblances to the events of Additionally,
6:26
Speaker 1: individuals like security experts and psychics claimed to have foreseen
6:30
Speaker 1: the tragedy and have talked openly about what they saw
6:33
Speaker 1: before the events unfolded. And while skepticism abounds, the sheer
6:37
Speaker 1: number of these predictions definitely captivates the imagination and invites
6:41
Speaker 1: one to dive in and explore the idea and predictions deeper.
6:44
Speaker 1: So together today, let's take a look and examine these
6:47
Speaker 1: examples in detail, and for each prediction in the resources
6:51
Speaker 1: document below, I'll be providing you guys with the exact
6:53
Speaker 1: sources to ensure my accuracy and credibility. First of all,
6:57
Speaker 1: we have to begin with television shows that seemingly died
7:01
Speaker 1: in the realm of television. One of the most famous
7:03
Speaker 1: examples comes from The Simpsons, a show known for its
7:06
Speaker 1: uncanny knack for mirroring future events. In the nineteen ninety
7:09
Speaker 1: seven episode The City of New York Versus Homer Simpson,
7:12
Speaker 1: Lisa holds up an innocuous seeming brochure, which in the
7:16
Speaker 1: show was advertising a New York bus trip for nine dollars. However,
7:20
Speaker 1: after the freeze frame captured from this episode showing the
7:24
Speaker 1: brochure took on a deeper, darker meaning you see on
7:27
Speaker 1: the magazine right next to the nine dollars text. The
7:30
Speaker 1: artists added in the twin towers in the background, and
7:33
Speaker 1: as a whole, the number in the buildings formed an
7:35
Speaker 1: image that resembled This visual created an entire four years
7:40
Speaker 1: before the attacks, sent shivers down viewers' spines when it
7:43
Speaker 1: was revisited after. The show's writers had intended the nine
7:47
Speaker 1: dollars fare to be a humorous jab at cheap travel deals,
7:51
Speaker 1: and according to them, they could have never anticipated the
7:54
Speaker 1: dark resonance it would take on years later. This specific
7:57
Speaker 1: coincidence has been widely discussed, with many pointing to two
8:00
Speaker 1: it as a chilling example of predictive art, and actually,
8:03
Speaker 1: according to the Irish Times, the Simpsons prediction remains to
8:07
Speaker 1: this day one of the most iconic coincidences in media history.
8:12
Speaker 1: Equally startling, though, is the pilot episode of a television
8:15
Speaker 1: show called The Lone Gunman, a spinoff of The X Files,
8:18
Speaker 1: which began airing in March of two thousand and one,
8:21
Speaker 1: just five months or so before. In the pilot episode
8:25
Speaker 1: of that show, which aired on television screens across all
8:28
Speaker 1: of America on March fourth, two thousand and one, the
8:31
Speaker 1: plot centers on a rogue government faction attempting to airliner
8:36
Speaker 1: into the World Trade Center to justify a proposed military escalation.
8:40
Speaker 1: According to the Lone Gunman wiki page, the plot is
8:44
Speaker 1: all the work of a powerful rogue group buried deep
8:46
Speaker 1: within the world of officialdom. The secret plan, had it worked,
8:50
Speaker 1: was to put the blame for the World Trade Center
8:52
Speaker 1: attacks on one or more foreign dictators who are begging
8:55
Speaker 1: to be smart bombed, and according to an article posted
8:58
Speaker 1: on collider dot com specific discussing this episode, the unforgettable
9:02
Speaker 1: scene comes at the end of the episode when Buyers,
9:05
Speaker 1: a character on the show, and his long lost father Bert,
9:08
Speaker 1: get on a commercial plane at night headed to Boston
9:11
Speaker 1: with the villainous Overlord group. Knowing that these two are
9:13
Speaker 1: on board the plane, they remotely take over the plane's
9:16
Speaker 1: controls and immediately steer the jet of the World Trade Center.
9:21
Speaker 1: In a race against time, Langley and Frahik, two other
9:24
Speaker 1: characters on the show, have to find a way to
9:26
Speaker 1: hack the system and give the planes controls back to
9:29
Speaker 1: the pilot before it crashes into the buildings. There are
9:32
Speaker 1: several now heartbreaking, extremely chilling moments in the show that
9:36
Speaker 1: depict the plane getting closer and closer to the World
9:38
Speaker 1: Trade Center, but at the very last moment, the heroes
9:41
Speaker 1: are able to manually override the hijackers, and with no
9:44
Speaker 1: time to spare, the pilot pulls back on the controls,
9:47
Speaker 1: leading to the plane shooting upwards and just missing the
9:50
Speaker 1: top of the World Trade Center. Obviously, the storyline similarity
9:54
Speaker 1: to the real that happened just six months later is
9:57
Speaker 1: absolutely chilling. In another parallel in the episode that eventually
10:01
Speaker 1: echoed real life, the flight that was targeted by the
10:04
Speaker 1: group of villains departed from Washington, d c. And was
10:07
Speaker 1: headed to Boston, both of which were airports from which
10:10
Speaker 1: planes in the real attacks left from This episode stands
10:13
Speaker 1: as one of the most direct media parallels to the tragedy,
10:16
Speaker 1: and has sparked debates for decades now over whether this
10:19
Speaker 1: was a spooky coincidence or some sort of predictive programming.
10:23
Speaker 1: The eerie accuracy of the episode's now prediction has led
10:26
Speaker 1: some to speculate about insider knowledge, though no official evidence
10:30
Speaker 1: has ever been revealed that would support this claim. Sadly,
10:33
Speaker 1: Frank Spotnitz, a writer and producer on the show, later
10:36
Speaker 1: told a reporter during an interview that when he awoke
10:38
Speaker 1: on the morning of and saw footage of the attacks
10:41
Speaker 1: on television. His first thought was that he helped The
10:44
Speaker 1: Lone Gunman's production crew had not been guilty of unknowingly
10:48
Speaker 1: inspiring the attacks with the release of that episode. Being
10:51
Speaker 1: aware of that possibility was a terrible feeling for spot Netz,
10:54
Speaker 1: but he learned within a matter of hours that his
10:57
Speaker 1: concerns were unfounded. He nevertheless found it too difficult to
11:00
Speaker 1: bring himself to rewatch the episode until he had to
11:03
Speaker 1: do so in order to prepare for an interview that
11:05
Speaker 1: was ultimately included in a later The Lone Gunman DVD release.
11:09
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't really get weirder than that. A
11:12
Speaker 1: rogue group from within the government, the deep state of
11:15
Speaker 1: the show essentially is trying to hijack a commercial plane
11:18
Speaker 1: crash it into the World Trade Center to start a
11:21
Speaker 1: war overseas. I don't know what to say to that one.
11:25
Speaker 1: It is. I mean, it's just insane, insane that they
11:27
Speaker 1: made this, insane that they released this, and if you're
11:30
Speaker 1: watching the episode and you're seeing the clips, unbelievable stuff.
11:33
Speaker 1: I'd never heard of this coincidence before I started researching
11:36
Speaker 1: for this video, and it's like Goddamn that is crazy.
11:39
Speaker 1: Cartoons have also contributed to this eerie narrative, though, and
11:42
Speaker 1: have had some disturbing predictions of their own. In in April
11:45
Speaker 1: two thousand and one episode of Johnny Bravo titled Chain
11:49
Speaker 1: Gang Johnny, a background poster shows a burning building with
11:52
Speaker 1: the words coming soon. Some viewers have interpreted this as
11:55
Speaker 1: a haunting foreshadowing of the though it should be noted
11:59
Speaker 1: that burning buildings and similar motifs are somewhat common in
12:02
Speaker 1: animated media and cartoons. The coincidence, while extremely striking, is
12:07
Speaker 1: likely amplified in hindsight given the emotional weight of but
12:11
Speaker 1: this one's really weird. An episode of the Iron Man
12:14
Speaker 1: cartoon series also earned its way onto the list of
12:17
Speaker 1: Unsettling Predictions when it was released in nineteen ninety four
12:20
Speaker 1: and later revisited after titled The Grim Reaper Wears a
12:24
Speaker 1: Teflon Coat. According to IMDb, the plot of this episode
12:28
Speaker 1: was as follows. Stark Enterprises developed an advanced stealth jet
12:31
Speaker 1: called the Grim Reaper for the American military. When Modoc's
12:35
Speaker 1: minions steal the jet for the Mandarin Iron Man must
12:38
Speaker 1: recover it. So basically, there's a stolen jet that was
12:41
Speaker 1: developed for the military. This guy's stealing it, the supervillains
12:44
Speaker 1: stealing the jet, Iron Man has to step in and
12:46
Speaker 1: save the day. Seems clean cut enough, right, well early enough.
12:50
Speaker 1: In this episode of the animated series, the villain Modoc
12:53
Speaker 1: and his minions carry out the attacks that I just
12:56
Speaker 1: mentioned on multiple different targets, with two of them being
13:01
Speaker 1: which obviously mirrored the actual targets of Produced by avi
13:06
Speaker 1: Arod and stan Lee, the episode's storyline feels almost prophetic
13:10
Speaker 1: in its specificity and deeply disturbing. I mean, in the
13:14
Speaker 1: cartoon itself, if you're watching, you're seeing this. They actually
13:16
Speaker 1: animated images of explosions rocking the Pentagon and the Twin Towers.
13:22
Speaker 1: Even though in the cartoon these buildings are being hit
13:24
Speaker 1: by missiles fired by jets. The animated explosions on the
13:27
Speaker 1: buildings and the images that came with them are indeed
13:30
Speaker 1: deeply chilling. Even Beavis and butt Head, the irreverent nineteen
13:34
Speaker 1: nineties cartoon, has been linked to predictions, and this prediction
13:38
Speaker 1: came in the form of a magazine article. The article,
13:40
Speaker 1: printed in a nineteen ninety four edition of Vice Magazine,
13:43
Speaker 1: discussed then at the World Trade Center and the potential
13:47
Speaker 1: for groups like al Qaeda. They say that in the
13:50
Speaker 1: magazine article in the future to strike again with stronger force,
13:54
Speaker 1: and in a freaky twist, the cartoon image that was
13:57
Speaker 1: printed alongside the article featured Middle Easter versions of Beavis
14:01
Speaker 1: and butt Head assumed to be portrayals of al Qaeda
14:04
Speaker 1: soldiers flying commercial planes. They appear to be commercial planes directly.
14:09
Speaker 1: The article even begins with a few freaky sentences, stating quote,
14:13
Speaker 1: can you imagine the carnage? Can you even begin to
14:16
Speaker 1: start to go down the trail of comprehending what it
14:18
Speaker 1: would be like if the twin towers were to collapse?
14:22
Speaker 1: It should be noted that, to my knowledge, this wasn't
14:24
Speaker 1: an official episode or depiction of Beavis and butt Head,
14:27
Speaker 1: but nonetheless this example has been cited as a part
14:30
Speaker 1: of the broader phenomenon of foreshadowing, and just looking at
14:34
Speaker 1: that image, it's straight up spooky. And now we have
14:37
Speaker 1: to get to motion pictures that seem to have been
14:39
Speaker 1: crafted with some sort of fore knowledge of the attacks.
14:42
Speaker 1: The film industry itself produced several works that seemed to
14:45
Speaker 1: predict aspects of in the months and years before the attacks.
14:49
Speaker 1: Back to the Future from nineteen eighty five has been
14:52
Speaker 1: scrutinized for its alleged predictions, with fans over the years
14:55
Speaker 1: pointing out various times in the films when they are
14:58
Speaker 1: allegedly alluded to. Now, I found a post on Reddit
15:01
Speaker 1: when I was researching for this episode which went into
15:04
Speaker 1: great detail about this theory, and I'm going to read
15:06
Speaker 1: you the post ad verbatim. This is exactly what the
15:09
Speaker 1: original poster wrote. All credit to them. This post was
15:12
Speaker 1: posted on the r slash conspiracy Post's subreddit about a
15:16
Speaker 1: year ago by user go ahead mm day, and it
15:19
Speaker 1: reads as follows. In the film Back to the Future,
15:22
Speaker 1: Marty brings his hands to his mouth and shouts out loud,
15:25
Speaker 1: I have to tell you about the future. The creators
15:27
Speaker 1: of Back to the Future said the same thing. The
15:29
Speaker 1: destruction of New York's Twin Towers on was not a
15:34
Speaker 1: surprise attack. The plan for was known two decades before,
15:38
Speaker 1: as far back as the early nineteen eighties. Details of
15:41
Speaker 1: appear in the blockbuster trilogy Back to the Future, the
15:44
Speaker 1: first movie of which was released in nineteen eighty five.
15:47
Speaker 1: In the first Back to the Future movie, a terrorist
15:49
Speaker 1: attack takes place at the Twin Pines mall. This is
15:52
Speaker 1: a warning of a future terrorist attack on the Twin
15:55
Speaker 1: Towers on Pines represent the towers twin is well just
16:00
Speaker 1: plain obvious. When Marty, the main character of the film,
16:02
Speaker 1: first arrives at the mall, the clock reads one sixteen,
16:06
Speaker 1: which is nine to eleven upside down. When Doc shows
16:09
Speaker 1: Marty two synchronized watches, the time is one to nineteen,
16:12
Speaker 1: which is nine to eleven backwards nine one one once,
16:15
Speaker 1: nine one one twice. If you don't like having to
16:18
Speaker 1: turn the mall clock upside down or flip the watches backwards, though,
16:21
Speaker 1: don't worry, there's an even clearer reference to the numbers
16:24
Speaker 1: nine to eleven later on in their proper order. When
16:27
Speaker 1: Marty returns to the mall at the end of the
16:28
Speaker 1: first movie, Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall. You
16:32
Speaker 1: probably already see how this four thousand. Let's break it down.
16:36
Speaker 1: The site where the mall stands used to be owned
16:38
Speaker 1: by old Man Peabody, who had two cherished pine trees.
16:42
Speaker 1: When the mall was built, both pine trees were still
16:44
Speaker 1: on the property, and so the mall was named Twin
16:46
Speaker 1: Pines Mall. When Marty travels back in time, he travels
16:50
Speaker 1: from the mall directly to Peabody's land, same spot, just
16:53
Speaker 1: different time period. While trying to escape, Marty knocks down
16:56
Speaker 1: one of Peabody's two pine trees. Thus two pines becomes
17:00
Speaker 1: a loan pine after they were crashed into. This foreshadows
17:03
Speaker 1: the aftermath of when the twin Towers were replaced by
17:06
Speaker 1: a loan tower after they were crashed into. What is more,
17:09
Speaker 1: the replacement tower is named one World Trade Center Loan
17:13
Speaker 1: versus one. Even the name is a near perfect match,
17:16
Speaker 1: even the name. When Peabody and his family first see
17:18
Speaker 1: the car, Peabody describes it as an airplane without wings. Later,
17:23
Speaker 1: the car itself is modified to fly. Add these details
17:26
Speaker 1: together and what do we have? A car described as
17:29
Speaker 1: a plane which later flies, that crashes into a tree
17:31
Speaker 1: symbolizing one of New York's twin Towers. Precisely what happened
17:35
Speaker 1: years later on, after the twin towers were struck on,
17:39
Speaker 1: they began burning. The makers of Back to the Future
17:41
Speaker 1: anticipated this and depicted it near the end of the
17:44
Speaker 1: first movie. As the DeLorean takes Marty back to his time,
17:47
Speaker 1: the car's tires leave two twin tracks on the road.
17:50
Speaker 1: The twin tracks are on fire, an unmistakable depiction of
17:53
Speaker 1: the twin towers burning. Doc then runs between the burning
17:56
Speaker 1: twin tracks, shrieking loudly. As he runs from the top
17:59
Speaker 1: of the tree to the bottom. He looks and sounds
18:02
Speaker 1: like people falling off a building. Yet the burning twin
18:04
Speaker 1: tracks represent more than just the twin towers on fire.
18:07
Speaker 1: As the camera pulls out, a store sign in the
18:09
Speaker 1: shape of the number nine comes into view on the left.
18:12
Speaker 1: The sign and burning twin tracks together form an absolutely
18:16
Speaker 1: undeniable notice. The placement of this store sign is perfect
18:20
Speaker 1: for indicating It is not at the end of the
18:22
Speaker 1: street at the top of the twin tracks, nor is
18:25
Speaker 1: it to the right, but it's perfectly placed to the
18:27
Speaker 1: left of the burning eleven. Notice two that the sign
18:29
Speaker 1: could have been a three or a five, or a
18:31
Speaker 1: seven or a J or an S and would still
18:33
Speaker 1: have served its function of pointing to the store. But
18:36
Speaker 1: it was none of those shapes. It was a nine,
18:38
Speaker 1: and the camera pulls out enough to capture the whole
18:40
Speaker 1: nine perfectly, where the earlier examples of the mall sign
18:43
Speaker 1: and watches might be too much of a stretch to
18:45
Speaker 1: suggest that the plaza leaves no room for denial on
18:50
Speaker 1: After the twin towers had burned for a time, they
18:53
Speaker 1: ultimately fell. So two in the Back to the Future movies,
18:56
Speaker 1: the first movie ended with the Twin Towers on fire.
18:59
Speaker 1: In the second movie, we see the twin towers falling.
19:01
Speaker 1: Jennifer is on the sofa in her future home. She
19:04
Speaker 1: looks up in astonishment. Through her look, the movie is
19:06
Speaker 1: telling us pay attention to this. This is shocking. What
19:09
Speaker 1: is Jennifer looking at that shocks her? She's looking at
19:12
Speaker 1: the TV. She then exclaims, I'm in the future. With this,
19:15
Speaker 1: they have taken us to the future and this is
19:18
Speaker 1: what they see. A moment later in this scene, we
19:20
Speaker 1: see two pine trees projected on the TV screen. When
19:23
Speaker 1: Lorraine clicks the remote, the pine trees are replaced by
19:26
Speaker 1: New York's twin towers. This confirms our understanding that the
19:30
Speaker 1: pine trees really do represent New York's Twin Towers. The
19:33
Speaker 1: TV then glitches and scrolls upward. As the frames scroll up,
19:37
Speaker 1: the towers appear to be rising. But notice one of
19:39
Speaker 1: the characters is upside down. Why is there an upside
19:42
Speaker 1: down person in this scene since he's the closest character
19:45
Speaker 1: to the audience. The movie is telling us to look
19:47
Speaker 1: at the TV from his perspective, and what does he see?
19:50
Speaker 1: As the TV frames scroll up, he sees New York's
19:53
Speaker 1: Twin Towers falling down. All three characters are looking at
19:56
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers on TV, just like millions of people
19:59
Speaker 1: were viewing the act actual towers on their TVs on
20:01
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Yet the TV screen looks like a window,
20:04
Speaker 1: complete with curtains on either side. The Rain even calls
20:07
Speaker 1: it a window when she says this window is still broken.
20:10
Speaker 1: Notice too, the torch of the Statue of Liberty at
20:13
Speaker 1: the bottom of the shot. Why is the torch of
20:15
Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty in this shot? To create the
20:17
Speaker 1: impression of being in New York City with a view
20:19
Speaker 1: of the Twin Towers from our window, the Rain points
20:22
Speaker 1: directly at the towers. The characters in this scene are
20:24
Speaker 1: the people of New York looking at and pointing to
20:27
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers. On With this scene, the movie is
20:30
Speaker 1: telling us it's going to happen here in New York
20:32
Speaker 1: at the Twin Towers. Talk about pointing something out. This
20:35
Speaker 1: is as pointed as it can get. What was for
20:37
Speaker 1: them a window onto the Twin Towers was for us
20:39
Speaker 1: a window into the future. Yet the creators of Back
20:42
Speaker 1: to the Future might be telling us one thing more
20:44
Speaker 1: about this future terrorist attack. They might be telling us
20:47
Speaker 1: it is not a real terrorist attack at all. It
20:50
Speaker 1: might be a staged agency operation. Three times, as the
20:53
Speaker 1: DeLorean passes through the time barrier, it is racing towards
20:56
Speaker 1: things related to cinema, like the stage. The first time
20:59
Speaker 1: the car breaks the time barrier, it's racing towards a
21:02
Speaker 1: film move. The second time, it's racing toward a movie theater.
21:05
Speaker 1: In the third movie, the Deloreate breaks the time barrier
21:07
Speaker 1: while racing toward a drive in movie screen. Though the
21:10
Speaker 1: Twin Towers really were tragically brought down, the creators of
21:13
Speaker 1: Back to the Future may have been telling us that
21:15
Speaker 1: the circumstances behind the disaster were like in cinema, not
21:19
Speaker 1: what they appear to be. But where did the creators
21:21
Speaker 1: of Back to the Future get this information from? How
21:23
Speaker 1: did they know about twenty years in advance? Fortunately for us,
21:27
Speaker 1: they put that in the movie too. Marty received knowledge
21:30
Speaker 1: of a specific event, what event a tower being struck.
21:34
Speaker 1: The message came with an urgent plea save the tower
21:37
Speaker 1: in the real world. A group of people learned that
21:39
Speaker 1: New York's Twin Towers would be struck, and they wanted
21:41
Speaker 1: to save the towers. Marty asked Doc for his help
21:44
Speaker 1: getting back home and delivered the message of a tower
21:47
Speaker 1: being struck in the real world according to this guy
21:49
Speaker 1: in this post. Remember this is all this independent person's
21:52
Speaker 1: post and theories. The people who learned about delivered their
21:55
Speaker 1: message of the Twin Towers being struck to Robert Zemechis
21:58
Speaker 1: and Bob Gaale, asking for their help in getting the
22:01
Speaker 1: warning out. Rob and Bob suggested making a movie about
22:04
Speaker 1: it to get their message out through cinema, which was
22:06
Speaker 1: worked into the movies by Doc instructing Marty to go
22:09
Speaker 1: through the movie screen. Marty writes in a letter to Doc,
22:12
Speaker 1: please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster.
22:16
Speaker 1: Notice the letter was made fully visible in the movie.
22:19
Speaker 1: This is the message the creators of Back to the
22:21
Speaker 1: Future wanted to announce. Notice two, they used the word disaster.
22:25
Speaker 1: While the shooting of a man Doc is indeed terrible,
22:27
Speaker 1: referring to it as a disaster is a little strong.
22:30
Speaker 1: In using the word disaster, the creators were really referencing
22:34
Speaker 1: which could truly be called a disaster. They even spelled
22:36
Speaker 1: the word disaster with a capital D, even though it
22:39
Speaker 1: isn't at the beginning of a sentence. Also note the
22:41
Speaker 1: word please is underlined. The creators were imploring. But where
22:45
Speaker 1: did the people behind back to the future get their
22:47
Speaker 1: knowledge of the people who contacted Rob and Bob with
22:50
Speaker 1: knowledge that the twin Towers would be struck? Where'd they
22:52
Speaker 1: get that information? As with everything else, this too was
22:55
Speaker 1: worked into the movie The Woman in the Plaza, She's
22:58
Speaker 1: the one who gave Marty the flo about the tower.
23:01
Speaker 1: She's the source of that knowledge. She knows every detail
23:04
Speaker 1: about the tower, including how and when it was struck.
23:07
Speaker 1: She also gives Marty the urgent instruction to save the tower.
23:10
Speaker 1: This woman in the film is positioned directly beneath a
23:13
Speaker 1: store sign that reads the Third Eye. An eye inside
23:16
Speaker 1: a pyramid is used instead of the word I. The
23:19
Speaker 1: symbol itself is called the all Seeing Eye, and it
23:22
Speaker 1: lines up perfectly with the woman's forehead. This shot replicates
23:25
Speaker 1: mysticism iconography, or the third eye is depicted on the
23:28
Speaker 1: forehead as a symbol of enlightenment. It also should be
23:31
Speaker 1: noted that the all seeing eye symbol is also used
23:34
Speaker 1: in Freemason iconography. Add these details together and what we
23:37
Speaker 1: have Marty learned of the destruction of the clock tower
23:40
Speaker 1: from a woman depicted with her forehead directly beneath the
23:43
Speaker 1: all seeing eye of the Freemasons. With this shot, the
23:45
Speaker 1: creators of Back to the Future are telling us they
23:47
Speaker 1: learned about the destruction of the twin Towers from the Freemasons.
23:51
Speaker 1: Another link to the Freemasons is shown on the clock
23:53
Speaker 1: at Lone Pine Mall. When Marty returns to the mall
23:56
Speaker 1: at the end of the first movie. The clock reads
23:58
Speaker 1: one thirty three. Thirty three is an extremely special number
24:01
Speaker 1: in freemasonry. The number three represents completeness, such as the
24:05
Speaker 1: three dimensions of the physical universe. It also denotes stability,
24:09
Speaker 1: since three is the minimum number of legs a table
24:11
Speaker 1: needs to remain upright. Doubling the number three, as in
24:14
Speaker 1: thirty three, signifies achieving a complete and stable degree of enlightenment,
24:18
Speaker 1: which is why thirty three is the highest level of
24:21
Speaker 1: membership in Freemasonry. By placing the number thirty three together
24:25
Speaker 1: with Lone Pine mal the creators of Back to the
24:27
Speaker 1: Future are telling us had Freemasons behind it, approved by
24:31
Speaker 1: those at the highest level. But why present this information
24:33
Speaker 1: about then in such a cryptic way with so much symbolism.
24:37
Speaker 1: If they wanted to warn us, why not just come
24:39
Speaker 1: out and tell us to be frank I don't know why.
24:41
Speaker 1: All we can do is speculate. Perhaps they were under oath.
24:44
Speaker 1: The people trying to sound the warning of were likely
24:47
Speaker 1: Masons who did not agree with other Masons concerning coming
24:50
Speaker 1: out and publicly denouncing the plans of their own fraternity
24:53
Speaker 1: would have landed them in serious trouble. So then, to
24:56
Speaker 1: end the post, the original post author goes into their
24:59
Speaker 1: own kind of speculative theories about what the reasoning behind
25:03
Speaker 1: all of this may have been. They discuss whether they
25:05
Speaker 1: actually believe in this or not, saying that they most
25:08
Speaker 1: likely don't really believe in this, but it's really interesting,
25:11
Speaker 1: and I do have to say the symbolism is pretty wild.
25:14
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that when I was reading that,
25:16
Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting to see someone like
25:18
Speaker 1: really break down these weird coincidences and visuals in the
25:22
Speaker 1: Back to the Future films, especially because I'm a big
25:24
Speaker 1: fan of those films. I love them when I was
25:26
Speaker 1: growing up, so it's just really really strange. Now, do
25:29
Speaker 1: I believe that a group of freemasons contacted the production
25:32
Speaker 1: team behind Back to the Future and told them, you know,
25:36
Speaker 1: some secrets about an upcoming mass casualty attack on United
25:39
Speaker 1: States soil, and they wrote that into Back to the Future.
25:43
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a bit of a reach to me,
25:45
Speaker 1: but it is strange. I mean, you see the all
25:47
Speaker 1: seeing eye, you see the number thirty three, you see
25:50
Speaker 1: the references. I mean that's all really strange. And same
25:54
Speaker 1: with the Twin Pines mall, with the terrorist attack and
25:57
Speaker 1: all of that. So, yeah, all the rest of these
25:58
Speaker 1: examples are going to be way less detailed, but I
26:01
Speaker 1: thought that one deserved a little more attention because it was, uh,
26:03
Speaker 1: it was interesting to me as a big fan of
26:05
Speaker 1: the Back to the Future franchise who had never noticed
26:08
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. But back to our list. In
26:10
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety three film Super Mario Brothers, set in
26:13
Speaker 1: a dystopian version of New York, a scene shows the
26:16
Speaker 1: Twin Towers in real life as they're suddenly transformed into
26:20
Speaker 1: the fictional Coupa's Tower, a plot point in the film
26:23
Speaker 1: which represents the villain Coopa's world meshing with the real
26:27
Speaker 1: world that Mario lives in, which in the film was
26:29
Speaker 1: New York City. In the clip from the movie, the
26:31
Speaker 1: Twin Towers can be seen turning black, disintegrating, and going
26:35
Speaker 1: up in smoke. This visual, created nearly a decade before,
26:39
Speaker 1: is hauntingly reminiscent, obviously of the real attacks. The nineteen
26:42
Speaker 1: ninety eight film The Siege also presents another disturbing parallel.
26:47
Speaker 1: According to IMDb, the plot of The Siege is as follows,
26:50
Speaker 1: The secret US abduction of a suspected terrorist leads to
26:54
Speaker 1: a wave of terrorist attacks in New York City, which
26:56
Speaker 1: leads to the declaration of martial law. In the film,
26:59
Speaker 1: a great one depiction of terrorist attacks in New York
27:02
Speaker 1: City are portrayed, which include mass bus bombings which are
27:05
Speaker 1: followed by martial law being declared in the city, and
27:08
Speaker 1: the eventual capture and internment of Arab Americans starring Denzel Washington.
27:12
Speaker 1: The film's themes of terrorism and civil liberties under fire,
27:16
Speaker 1: all set against the backdrop of New York City under attack,
27:19
Speaker 1: became eerily relevant. Post screenwriter Lawrence Wright even at one
27:24
Speaker 1: point noted in an interview that The Siege became the
27:27
Speaker 1: most rented movie in America shortly after the attacks due
27:30
Speaker 1: to its bizarre and shocking parallels to real life. In
27:33
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety eight film Armageddon starring Bruce Willis, a
27:36
Speaker 1: group of blue collar deep shore drillers are contacted and
27:40
Speaker 1: tasked with destroying an asteroid that's set to destroy Earth.
27:44
Speaker 1: This from the surface seems innocuous and like a fun
27:46
Speaker 1: night at the movies. However, viewers noticed one scene in
27:49
Speaker 1: the film in particular, in the wake of In the movie,
27:53
Speaker 1: one scene depicts meteors striking New York City, with one
27:56
Speaker 1: larger meteorite smashing directly into the World Trade Center, which
28:00
Speaker 1: in the film causes destruction akin to that experienced by
28:04
Speaker 1: the city on that scene, and that imagery was so sensitive,
28:08
Speaker 1: in fact, that it was edited out of some posts
28:11
Speaker 1: TV broadcasts of the film as it was deemed too
28:14
Speaker 1: distressing to audiences after the tragedy. The nineteen ninety six
28:17
Speaker 1: film Executive Decision starring Kurt Russell also has a particularly
28:21
Speaker 1: striking and ominous plot. In the film, a group of
28:24
Speaker 1: foreign terrorists hijack a Boeing seven forty seven commercial plane
28:28
Speaker 1: and plan to crash it into a US target, a
28:31
Speaker 1: plan that's eventually thwarted by the protagonists by the end
28:34
Speaker 1: of the film. The similarity to's use of planes as
28:37
Speaker 1: weapons is striking, though the film's resolution differs, as in
28:41
Speaker 1: the film the terrorists are subdued and the day is saved.
28:44
Speaker 1: Released just five years before the attacks, the film itself
28:47
Speaker 1: actually reflected the era's growing awareness of terrorism risks, especially
28:51
Speaker 1: in the wake of the nineteen ninety three World Trade
28:54
Speaker 1: Center bombing. However, the film's ominous narrative involving terrorists hijacking
28:59
Speaker 1: a plane and planning to crash it into a target
29:01
Speaker 1: in America adds it to the catalog of eerie cinematic predictions.
29:05
Speaker 1: The cult classic Fight Club, released in nineteen ninety nine,
29:08
Speaker 1: has also drawn parallels to The film concludes with a
29:12
Speaker 1: scene depicting the collapse of financial buildings, which, according to
29:15
Speaker 1: David Fincher, the director, was meant to symbolize the destruction
29:19
Speaker 1: of capitalism, while not explicitly depicting the destruction of the
29:22
Speaker 1: Twin Towers. The imagery of collapsing structures and large financial
29:26
Speaker 1: buildings crumbling to the ground after large explosions has drawn
29:30
Speaker 1: many comparisons to the real life visuals that were plastered
29:33
Speaker 1: across newspapers and television screens worldwide after the In the Matrix,
29:39
Speaker 1: released in nineteen ninety nine, main character Neo's passport, shown
29:43
Speaker 1: briefly on screen during an interrogation, has a very specific
29:46
Speaker 1: expiration date September eleven, two thousand one. This subtle detail,
29:51
Speaker 1: unnoticed at the time, became a chilling coincidence that eagle
29:54
Speaker 1: eyed viewers picked up on after the attacks. In addition,
29:57
Speaker 1: the film's dystopian themes and storyline following a man who's
30:01
Speaker 1: awoken from the machine who goes on to rise up
30:03
Speaker 1: against the evil overlords that have enslaved mankind also amplified
30:08
Speaker 1: the on screen date's significance in the minds of viewers.
30:11
Speaker 1: A planned Jackie Chan film, tentatively titled Nosebleed was to
30:15
Speaker 1: feature a window washer who thwarts a terrorist plot to
30:18
Speaker 1: bomb and destroy the World Trade Center. Developed in the
30:21
Speaker 1: late nineteen nineties, the project was canceled before and even happened,
30:25
Speaker 1: but its storyline became remarkably pression after that September day
30:29
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one. The unproduced film's concept and
30:32
Speaker 1: plot adds a layer of intrigue to the list of
30:35
Speaker 1: predictions and many people online have speculated over exactly why
30:39
Speaker 1: the film was canceled and canned in the first place.
30:41
Speaker 1: There's also the nineteen ninety eight film Enemy of the State,
30:44
Speaker 1: which is often cited for its eerie parallels to particularly
30:48
Speaker 1: in its depiction of mass surveillance and a terrorist attack.
30:51
Speaker 1: One scene features a character discussing a terrorist attack while
30:55
Speaker 1: showing a building exploding, imagery that some viewers would later
30:58
Speaker 1: connect to the World Trade Send Interests collapse. The movie's
31:01
Speaker 1: exploration of government overreached and conspiracy theories gained renewed relevance
31:05
Speaker 1: after as public discourse shifted towards these themes. The nineteen
31:10
Speaker 1: ninety five film Die Hard with a Vengeance portrays terrorists
31:13
Speaker 1: planting bombs in New York City, evoking the chaos of
31:17
Speaker 1: despite the different attack method, and then the nineteen ninety
31:20
Speaker 1: seven film The Peacemaker also featured terrorists planning an attack
31:24
Speaker 1: in New York City, with the World Trade Center being
31:26
Speaker 1: visible in some scenes, although in that film the method
31:29
Speaker 1: of attack was a nuclear bombing eerily. Stanley Kubrick's nineteen
31:33
Speaker 1: ninety nine film Eyes Wide Shut, which has been a
31:35
Speaker 1: hotbed for conspiracy theories, also includes a mention of a
31:39
Speaker 1: terrorist attack and an exploding building imagery that some have
31:42
Speaker 1: connected to. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples
31:46
Speaker 1: and films that I've missed here, but at this point
31:48
Speaker 1: we have to continue to the predictions that were made
31:51
Speaker 1: in the realm of music, and I have to say
31:53
Speaker 1: the music industry offers some of the most visually striking
31:56
Speaker 1: predictions on this list. First of all, we have to
31:58
Speaker 1: discuss hip hop group The Coup, who before the attacks,
32:02
Speaker 1: had prepared an album cover for their upcoming album Party Music,
32:06
Speaker 1: a cover that was created in June of two thousand
32:08
Speaker 1: and one, just a few months before, which graphically depicted
32:13
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center exploding, with band members in the
32:16
Speaker 1: foreground destroying the building with what appeared to be a detonator.
32:20
Speaker 1: Intended as being a metaphor for dismantling capitalism, the imagery
32:24
Speaker 1: became shockingly real after prompting the group's label to request
32:28
Speaker 1: a swift redesign before the album was eventually released, and
32:31
Speaker 1: the initial release date for this album was to add
32:34
Speaker 1: Insult to Injury in September of two thousand and one.
32:37
Speaker 1: This remains one of the most jarring examples of unintended
32:40
Speaker 1: foresight and the cover's impact continues to resonate with those
32:43
Speaker 1: who study the cultural echoes of Another album, Dream Theaters
32:48
Speaker 1: Live Scenes from New York, released on featured a cover
32:53
Speaker 1: with a burning New York City skyline, a skyline which
32:57
Speaker 1: eerily indeed included the Twin Towers. My timing was so
33:00
Speaker 1: unfortunate that immediately all albums featuring the Twin Towers cover
33:04
Speaker 1: were recalled and replaced by the band's label. The album's imagery,
33:08
Speaker 1: created before the attacks feels like a grim prophecy in hindsight,
33:12
Speaker 1: with the Twin Towers literally shown on the cover, engulfed
33:15
Speaker 1: in flames, and the fact that the album was released
33:18
Speaker 1: on it couldn't get crazier. The band Squad five Ozho's
33:21
Speaker 1: two thousand album Bombs Over Broadway featured an album cover
33:25
Speaker 1: with warplanes flying across New York City directly in front
33:29
Speaker 1: of buildings that look exactly like the Twin Towers, with
33:31
Speaker 1: the city below seemingly erupting into flames, and on the
33:35
Speaker 1: album were extremely descriptive lyrics about New York City going
33:39
Speaker 1: up in flames. The combination of visual and lyrical elements
33:43
Speaker 1: make this a particularly striking coincidence. Released a year before
33:47
Speaker 1: the album's imagery obviously took on a new meeting after
33:50
Speaker 1: the attacks and earned the album a spawn on this
33:52
Speaker 1: notorious list. Supertramp's Breakfast in America, released in nineteen seventy nine,
33:57
Speaker 1: features a cover with the New York skyline, including the
34:00
Speaker 1: Twin Towers viewed through a window with a waitress holding
34:04
Speaker 1: a glass of orange juice, which some have stated resembles
34:07
Speaker 1: fire Wind flipped horizontally. The U and P in the
34:10
Speaker 1: band's name disturbingly appear as and can be observed directly
34:15
Speaker 1: over the Twin Towers, which has fueled thousands of Internet
34:18
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories. People also talk about the orange juice representing
34:22
Speaker 1: flames on the Twin Towers. I don't know what to
34:24
Speaker 1: make of all that, but I mean, it's so strange.
34:27
Speaker 1: The album, released decades before, wasn't intended to predict anything,
34:32
Speaker 1: yet the imagery is striking and undeniable. I mean, you
34:36
Speaker 1: literally cannot deny how strange this looks. It literally looks
34:39
Speaker 1: like hovering directly over the World Trade Center. The Dave
34:43
Speaker 1: Matthews Bands song When the World Ends, recorded in two
34:46
Speaker 1: thousand for their album Every Day, was sent to radio
34:49
Speaker 1: stations for airtime across the United States just a few
34:52
Speaker 1: weeks before, and the song included lyrics about buildings crumbling
34:58
Speaker 1: and various apocalyptic themes. One line, for example, from the
35:01
Speaker 1: song goes as follows, I'm gonna rock you like a baby.
35:04
Speaker 1: When the cities fall, we will rise as the buildings crumble.
35:07
Speaker 1: Released just before, the song's imagery felt eerily relevant to
35:12
Speaker 1: listeners after the attacks, and radio stations ended up pulling
35:15
Speaker 1: this song completely from American airwaves and replacing it with
35:18
Speaker 1: another Dave Matthews band song titled every Day. And While
35:22
Speaker 1: the lyrics to the song were pretty generalized, their timing
35:25
Speaker 1: amplified to perceive connection to Interestingly, we have another addition
35:30
Speaker 1: to this list from a band that we've already talked
35:32
Speaker 1: about here, Dream Theater. Dream Theater's song The Great Debate
35:36
Speaker 1: from their two thousand and two albums Six Degrees of
35:38
Speaker 1: Inner Turbulence, was originally titled Conflict at Ground Zero when
35:43
Speaker 1: they recorded it in the year two thousand and one.
35:45
Speaker 1: The song mentions a ground zero, a term that became
35:48
Speaker 1: synonymous with the World Trade Center site post it and
35:52
Speaker 1: obviously releasing the song in two thousand and two, less
35:55
Speaker 1: than six months after this seemed to be a little
35:59
Speaker 1: too soon reflict at Ground Zero. That's why they ended
36:02
Speaker 1: up changing it to the Great Debate. Though the song
36:04
Speaker 1: itself is about stem cell research, the title and timing
36:07
Speaker 1: led the band to believe that people would associate the
36:10
Speaker 1: song and its meaning with the attacks. On June twenty fifth,
36:13
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, indie band The Strokes released their
36:16
Speaker 1: song New York City Cops in Australia and Europe, a
36:19
Speaker 1: song which bashed, at the time the corrupt New York
36:22
Speaker 1: Police Department and featured the refrain New York City Cops
36:25
Speaker 1: but they Ain't too Smart, however, according to Wikipedia, since
36:29
Speaker 1: the American CD had not been released yet, the song
36:31
Speaker 1: was removed after this. The band did so after they
36:35
Speaker 1: witnessed the valiant response of the city's police department during
36:38
Speaker 1: the tragedy. Feeling that it would be wrong to release
36:41
Speaker 1: it during these highly sensitive times, they replaced the song
36:44
Speaker 1: with the newly recorded when it started. The vinyl release
36:47
Speaker 1: retained the original track list due to its release falling
36:51
Speaker 1: on very strange a song about corrupt New York City
36:56
Speaker 1: authorities being released in New York on eerie. Now, this
37:02
Speaker 1: one is just absolutely bizarre. In the early two thousands,
37:05
Speaker 1: there was a band called I'm Not Kidding I Am
37:08
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. The group was an American synthpop
37:12
Speaker 1: duo and had no official connection on paper to the
37:15
Speaker 1: World Trade Center or any associated groups. I think they
37:18
Speaker 1: were just obsessed with the idea of the World Trade
37:20
Speaker 1: Center and you know, kind of what it stood for
37:22
Speaker 1: and all the people in connections that are made there,
37:24
Speaker 1: I don't really know. And this band, once again called
37:27
Speaker 1: I Am the World Trade Center, ended up releasing a
37:30
Speaker 1: song titled September as the eleventh track on their album
37:34
Speaker 1: released in two thousand and one, an unfortunate coincidence given
37:38
Speaker 1: their name and the numerology behind all of that. After
37:41
Speaker 1: the band temporarily changed their name to I Am the
37:44
Speaker 1: World out of respect for the victims, but shortly afterwards
37:47
Speaker 1: they went back to using their full name. And I
37:49
Speaker 1: have to say, the combination of the band's name and
37:52
Speaker 1: the song's title and track number feels almost two precise,
37:56
Speaker 1: and it remains a poignant reminder of how names and
37:59
Speaker 1: numbers can align with tragedy in the most mysterious and
38:02
Speaker 1: bizarre ways. David Bowie's Heathen album, released in two thousand
38:06
Speaker 1: and two, included songs written before that feature lyrics that
38:10
Speaker 1: some have interpreted as reflecting a terrorist's perspective, mentioning planes,
38:14
Speaker 1: and fear. The album's themes, while abstract, took on new
38:18
Speaker 1: meaning after the attacks and had people concerned about Bowie
38:21
Speaker 1: himself and the reasoning for writing the songs that he
38:23
Speaker 1: had written. However, in a two thousand and two interview
38:26
Speaker 1: with Entertainment Weekly, he was quoted as saying, it was
38:29
Speaker 1: all written before every single song. I don't want it
38:32
Speaker 1: to reflect that situation particularly at all, because in fact,
38:35
Speaker 1: that crock of songs came out of a general feeling
38:37
Speaker 1: of anxiety have had in America for a number of years.
38:40
Speaker 1: It wasn't that localized bang thing that happened in September. However,
38:45
Speaker 1: at one point, Bowie himself did admit that the lyrics
38:47
Speaker 1: he had written for the song titled Sunday were eerily prescient,
38:51
Speaker 1: and he admitted that it was quote quite spine tingling
38:54
Speaker 1: to realize how close those lyrics came. There are some
38:56
Speaker 1: key words in there that really just freaked me out.
38:58
Speaker 1: End quote. The lyrics to the song are as follows,
39:01
Speaker 1: nothing remains, we could run when the rain slows, look
39:04
Speaker 1: for the cars or signs of life. Where the heat goes,
39:07
Speaker 1: look for the drifters. We should crawl under the bracken,
39:10
Speaker 1: Look for the shafts of light on the road where
39:12
Speaker 1: the heat goes. Everything has changed. For in truth, it's
39:15
Speaker 1: the beginning of nothing, and nothing has changed. Everything has changed.
39:19
Speaker 1: For in truth it's the beginning of an end, and
39:21
Speaker 1: nothing has changed. Everything has changed. In your fear, Seek
39:25
Speaker 1: only peace, in your fear of what we have become.
39:27
Speaker 1: In your fear, seek only love. Take to the fire
39:30
Speaker 1: now we must burn. In your fears. Seek only peace
39:33
Speaker 1: all that we are in your fear, Seek only love.
39:36
Speaker 1: Rise together through these clouds as on wings. This is
39:39
Speaker 1: the trip, and this the business. We take. This our number,
39:42
Speaker 1: all my trials, Lord will be remembered. Everything has changed.
39:46
Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety eight album by Buster Rhymes titled Extinction
39:50
Speaker 1: Level Event has also drawn parallels because it features an
39:54
Speaker 1: album cover with a burning New York skyline, a skyline
39:57
Speaker 1: which yes included the Twin Towers which U Two's nineteen
40:02
Speaker 1: ninety seven album Pop includes the song wake Up Dead Man,
40:06
Speaker 1: which some fans interpret as a subtle nod to the
40:09
Speaker 1: emotional fallout of the lyrics express despair and a plea
40:13
Speaker 1: for redemption, themes that resonated with the public grief following
40:16
Speaker 1: the attacks, even though the album predated the event by
40:19
Speaker 1: four years, and that album's cover art, featuring a highly
40:22
Speaker 1: stylized city scape, has been loosely linked by some fans
40:26
Speaker 1: to the New York Skyline, further fuelling speculation. Eskimo Joe's
40:30
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven song New York contains lyrics that some
40:33
Speaker 1: interpret as hinting at a catastrophic event in New York City.
40:37
Speaker 1: It even makes mention of a narrator who wishes they
40:39
Speaker 1: would have stayed in bed in New York City to
40:41
Speaker 1: avoid what happened to them. With themes of loss and destruction,
40:45
Speaker 1: the song's emotional tone aligned for some with the aftermath,
40:49
Speaker 1: though it's released predated the event by four years. And
40:52
Speaker 1: there are so many examples of music and musicians and
40:56
Speaker 1: things that seem to predict this tragedy. I'm sure that
40:58
Speaker 1: once again I missed more, but we have to move
41:01
Speaker 1: on to some Some of these I think are some
41:03
Speaker 1: of the weirdest. The comics that seemingly predicted There were
41:07
Speaker 1: actually plenty of comics that predicted the events. For example,
41:10
Speaker 1: The Adventures of Superman issue five ninety six, published on
41:14
Speaker 1: September twelfth, two thousand and one, just one day after
41:17
Speaker 1: the attacks, but created much earlier, depicts the Lex Corp
41:21
Speaker 1: Tower resembling the Twin Towers with gashes across it after
41:25
Speaker 1: it suffered an alien attack. The timing and imagery were
41:28
Speaker 1: so striking, so poignant, that DC Comics itself actually offered
41:32
Speaker 1: refunds to any disturbed readers who had purchased the issue,
41:36
Speaker 1: yet in reality, the issue quickly became a best seller.
41:39
Speaker 1: Then there's the storyline in the comic Tom Clancy's Debt
41:42
Speaker 1: of Honor, published in nineteen ninety four, which features a
41:45
Speaker 1: Japanese terrorist crashing a jetliner into the US Capitol, killing
41:49
Speaker 1: most of the government's leadership, and, as many have pointed
41:52
Speaker 1: out in subsequent years, the novel's use of a plane
41:55
Speaker 1: as a weapon mirrors then with an absolutely chilling, accurate
42:00
Speaker 1: REI Another comic, Marvel graphic novel number seventeen, Revenge of
42:04
Speaker 1: the Living Monolith, published in nineteen eighty five, shows the
42:07
Speaker 1: titular character the Living Monolith, smashing his fist directly through
42:11
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers on its cover, with the story of
42:14
Speaker 1: the issue itself, depicting the catastrophic destruction of New York City.
42:18
Speaker 1: The imagery, created sixteen years before, feels once again eerily prophetic.
42:24
Speaker 1: I mean, just looking at it. Where the living monolith
42:28
Speaker 1: character is punching or striking through the Twin Towers is
42:31
Speaker 1: about exactly where the plane ended up crashing into the
42:34
Speaker 1: building in real life. It's definitely eerie. In the comic
42:38
Speaker 1: book X Force number four, published in nineteen ninety one,
42:41
Speaker 1: the character Juggernaut causes destruction in New York, and in
42:45
Speaker 1: the comic, destroys the Twin Towers, bringing the buildings crashing
42:49
Speaker 1: to the ground in graphic illustrated detail. The visual similarity
42:52
Speaker 1: to collapsing towers is uncanny, though the context is obviously
42:57
Speaker 1: purely fictional. There's also the nineteen ninety three comic The
43:00
Speaker 1: Incredible Hulk number four one one, depicting the Hulk smashing
43:04
Speaker 1: through the Twin Towers, an image that later evoked this
43:09
Speaker 1: superhero battle scene in this issue, while unrelated to terrorism,
43:13
Speaker 1: visually mirrored the tower's destruction, which prompted fans to note
43:16
Speaker 1: its unsettling similarity. There were also multiple predictions noticed that
43:20
Speaker 1: had been published in books and novels. For example, in
43:23
Speaker 1: Stephen King's The Running Man, published in nineteen eighty two
43:26
Speaker 1: and written under the pseudonym Richard Bachmann, the storyline ends
43:30
Speaker 1: with the protagonist crashing a plane into a building. Obviously,
43:34
Speaker 1: this mirrored even though it was written two decades earlier.
43:38
Speaker 1: In Payne Harrison's nineteen eighty nine novels Storming Intrepid, the
43:41
Speaker 1: villain's attempt to hijack a space shuttle in order to
43:44
Speaker 1: crash it into a city to cause mass casualties, a
43:48
Speaker 1: concept akin to aircraft attacks. Robert Koenig's The Fourth Horseman,
43:52
Speaker 1: published in nineteen eighty five, describes a terrorist plot involving
43:56
Speaker 1: a plane crashing into a major US building, and then
44:00
Speaker 1: novel's scenario, written sixteen years before, feels hauntingly familiar. Now
44:05
Speaker 1: this one is, I'm just warning you. The book Assi
44:08
Speaker 1: Siufree Latino America by Jose Borja, published in nineteen eighty three,
44:13
Speaker 1: is an example of prediction that feels deeply disturbing. The
44:17
Speaker 1: novel itself, published eighteen years before, features a cover depicting
44:23
Speaker 1: the twin towers burning, cracking in half, crashing to the ground,
44:27
Speaker 1: and also shows people jumping out of the buildings falling
44:30
Speaker 1: to their deaths on the pavement below. Imagery that is
44:33
Speaker 1: indeed strikingly similar to that which emerged after the cover's
44:37
Speaker 1: apocalyptic vision is chilling, and weirdly enough, the book's plot
44:41
Speaker 1: and context is completely unrelated to terrorism, which to some
44:45
Speaker 1: online makes this coincidence even more striking. There's also Humphrey
44:49
Speaker 1: Hawksley's nineteen ninety five novel The Third World War, which
44:53
Speaker 1: presents a chillingly accurate scenario that mirrors that. The plot
44:57
Speaker 1: in this book involves terrorists using commercial airliners as weapons
45:02
Speaker 1: to strike multiple targets, including government buildings, a method nearly
45:06
Speaker 1: identical to the real events of In addition, John Milton's
45:12
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight novel Blackout also chillingly predicted with a
45:16
Speaker 1: plot where terrorists crash planes into New York buildings. This
45:20
Speaker 1: explicit scenario, published three years prior, mirrors the attacks method
45:24
Speaker 1: and location with uncanny accuracy. Some of the spookiest of
45:28
Speaker 1: these examples, though, I believe come from the realm of
45:31
Speaker 1: video games. You see, video games have also contributed to
45:34
Speaker 1: this phenomenon. In duce X, a game released in two thousand,
45:38
Speaker 1: the New York Skyline lacks the Twin Towers why though
45:42
Speaker 1: well in the game, it's explained to the player that
45:45
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers were destroyed as the result of a
45:47
Speaker 1: massive terrorist attack. Developers later cited technical limitations as the
45:52
Speaker 1: reason why they didn't animate the World Trade Center in there,
45:55
Speaker 1: but the in game explanation feels prophetic, and with the
45:59
Speaker 1: game having been released just a year before it's striking
46:03
Speaker 1: Master of Weapon released in nineteen eighty nine, a shoot
46:06
Speaker 1: him up game, also features a disturbing prediction. In the
46:09
Speaker 1: first level of the game, buildings resembling the Twin Towers
46:12
Speaker 1: collapse to the ground in a fiery inferno, with the
46:15
Speaker 1: date that these events are supposedly taking place on fading
46:18
Speaker 1: onto the screen right after those buildings collapse. Guess what
46:21
Speaker 1: that date is? September eleventh, nineteen ninety X. The precise
46:26
Speaker 1: date twelve years before is a remarkable coincidence. Some users
46:32
Speaker 1: online have even speculated further claiming that quote. The intro
46:35
Speaker 1: message states that the story of the game takes place
46:38
Speaker 1: on September eleventh, nineteen ninety X or after the nineties
46:42
Speaker 1: X is the twenty fourth letter, twenty four months after
46:45
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven ninety nine is nine to eleven
46:48
Speaker 1: oh one. Now, this one is incredibly freaky. I have
46:52
Speaker 1: to admit in early two thousand and one, early two
46:55
Speaker 1: thousand and one, a video game called Trade Center Defender
46:58
Speaker 1: appeared online. I think you can all tell where I'm
47:01
Speaker 1: going with this one. The game itself was a simulator
47:04
Speaker 1: game where players shot down planes that were headed towards
47:08
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. The premise, created just months before,
47:12
Speaker 1: is chillingly close to the real events. I mean, it
47:16
Speaker 1: is so creepy. And in the game, the planes can
47:19
Speaker 1: crash into the World Trade Center, obviously, and they bring
47:21
Speaker 1: them down. I've seen people discuss, you know how the
47:24
Speaker 1: destruction of the buildings is also eerily similar. But I
47:27
Speaker 1: will say that I've seen different release dates attributed to
47:30
Speaker 1: this game, so I want you to keep that in mind.
47:32
Speaker 1: Multiple sources that I found online stated that this game
47:35
Speaker 1: was released in early two thousand and one, but for posterity,
47:38
Speaker 1: I'll include here that on Wikipedia, it states that the
47:41
Speaker 1: game was released on September twelfth, two thousand and one,
47:44
Speaker 1: the day after the attacks. I do have to say,
47:46
Speaker 1: though I believe that the Wikipedia entry is incorrect. I
47:49
Speaker 1: actually visited the linked web page, which they said provided
47:52
Speaker 1: details about the game and its removal from the Internet,
47:55
Speaker 1: and this was the only sentence in the linked article
47:58
Speaker 1: which discussed the game. Quote. In the wake of the
48:01
Speaker 1: tragic events in the US this week, another computer game,
48:05
Speaker 1: WTC Defender, has been removed from sale over the Internet.
48:09
Speaker 1: Players had to shoot down planes which were heading for
48:11
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers. If an aircraft managed to get through
48:15
Speaker 1: the buildings blew up end quote. So notice that they
48:18
Speaker 1: make no mention of a September twelfth or anything like that.
48:22
Speaker 1: I think the article was written on the thirteenth. I'd
48:25
Speaker 1: have to go back and look for posterity. You guys
48:27
Speaker 1: can go check it out. But it's my opinion after
48:29
Speaker 1: looking into all this, that this game was created before
48:33
Speaker 1: and was released in early two thousand and one. I
48:36
Speaker 1: have only seen reports claiming that this is the case,
48:39
Speaker 1: and none other than a single sentence on Wikipedia which
48:42
Speaker 1: state that it was released after. So consider that a
48:46
Speaker 1: debunking of the Wikipedia page. I could sit here and
48:49
Speaker 1: rant all day about Wikipedia and how corrupt it is
48:52
Speaker 1: and how agencies and governments still perpetuate cover ups through
48:56
Speaker 1: the use of Wikipedia. Just look at the elm Guesthouse
49:00
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page. If you want a good laugh and watch
49:02
Speaker 1: it by documentary that I did six months ago afterwards.
49:05
Speaker 1: It's shocking how little information they've put on that page.
49:09
Speaker 1: But that's beside the point. In the game Aarrow Fighters Too,
49:12
Speaker 1: released seven years before in nineteen ninety four, players battle
49:17
Speaker 1: over a city scape with buildings some interpret as resembling
49:20
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers collapsing below. There's also Metal Gear Solid
49:24
Speaker 1: Two Sons of Liberty, which was released in two thousand
49:27
Speaker 1: and one, which included a plot involving a terrorist attack
49:31
Speaker 1: on New York City. Specifically, the game featured the Pentagon
49:34
Speaker 1: and the World Trade Center during its climax. After there
49:38
Speaker 1: were a lot of things removed from the game, including
49:41
Speaker 1: scenes showing the destruction of the Statue of Liberty and
49:43
Speaker 1: parts of Manhattan. There was also dialogue about terrorists targeting
49:47
Speaker 1: Manhattan that was also removed from the game. Some fans
49:50
Speaker 1: have even claimed this might be a bit of a reach,
49:52
Speaker 1: but I felt I might include it here because people
49:55
Speaker 1: have talked about this. But the game The Legend of
49:57
Speaker 1: Zelda Majora's Mask, released in two thousand, It contains subtle
50:00
Speaker 1: predictions of through its narrative and imagery. In the game,
50:05
Speaker 1: a menacing moon with a human like face threatens to
50:07
Speaker 1: crash into the world, symbolizing an impending catastrophe that some
50:11
Speaker 1: have interpreted as an allusion to the collapse of the
50:14
Speaker 1: Twin Towers. The storyline revolves around a three day cycle
50:17
Speaker 1: where the protagonist Link must prevent this disaster, evoking themes
50:22
Speaker 1: of urgency and doom that resonate with the atmosphere proceeding.
50:26
Speaker 1: While no explicit references to the attacks exist, the game's
50:29
Speaker 1: dark tone and focus on averting destruction have led to
50:32
Speaker 1: speculative connections by fans. A few more examples. Command and
50:36
Speaker 1: Conquer Redler two, released in two thousand, includes a mission
50:40
Speaker 1: where players defend New York City from a Soviet invasion,
50:43
Speaker 1: with the Twin Towers being prominently featured. The visual of
50:46
Speaker 1: the Towers under attack, though fictional, parallels's imagery. Then there's
50:50
Speaker 1: Spider Man two Enter Electro released in two thousand and one,
50:54
Speaker 1: a game which originally included the Twin Towers in its
50:57
Speaker 1: New York setting, but a game that was altered post
51:01
Speaker 1: to remove them. Grand Theft Auto three, released in two
51:04
Speaker 1: thousand and one, originally included a mission where players flew
51:07
Speaker 1: a plane into a building, but that mission was removed
51:10
Speaker 1: Post due to its sensitivity. There's also Flight Simulator two thousand,
51:14
Speaker 1: released in nineteen ninety nine, a game which allowed players
51:18
Speaker 1: to fly planes into buildings, with one of those buildings
51:21
Speaker 1: being the World Trade Center. Yes, you could drive an
51:24
Speaker 1: airplane in a POV mode like you're the pilot, and
51:27
Speaker 1: in this game, you could fly the plane directly into
51:30
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center if you liked. Obviously, this sparked
51:33
Speaker 1: a massive wave of controversy. After intended as a simulation tool,
51:37
Speaker 1: this feature became a haunting echo of the attacks, Though
51:41
Speaker 1: not explicitly designed as some sort of a prediction, Tom
51:43
Speaker 1: Clancy's Rainbow six, released in nineteen ninety eight, included a
51:47
Speaker 1: mission where players prevented terrorists from crashing a plane into
51:50
Speaker 1: a building. This scenario, while fictional, once again mirrors aviation terrorism,
51:56
Speaker 1: was striking accuracy, predating the event by three years and five.
52:00
Speaker 1: The X Files Fight the Future, a game released in
52:03
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, features a plot about a terrorist bombing
52:06
Speaker 1: of a Dallas building with conspiracy themes that echo Post distrust.
52:11
Speaker 1: Though it doesn't necessarily depict planes or New York, it's
52:14
Speaker 1: focused on terrorism feels pressure, predating the attacks by only
52:18
Speaker 1: three years now. This has been a very thorough and
52:21
Speaker 1: exhaustive list. I think I got most of the major predictions,
52:27
Speaker 1: and it's so freaky, like some of those, like the
52:31
Speaker 1: book cover, some of those video game references with the dates,
52:35
Speaker 1: the pilot episode of The Lone Gunman, the books, the
52:40
Speaker 1: song the album covers. I mean, it's just like, it's
52:43
Speaker 1: so bizarre. I can't think of another event in world
52:48
Speaker 1: history where there have been so many like predictions in
52:52
Speaker 1: media that have emerged about this upcoming event, and like
52:56
Speaker 1: messages and subliminal things that you can see. I mean,
52:59
Speaker 1: it's just so unbelievably freaky. Some of the stuff it's
53:02
Speaker 1: hard to believe that it's real because it's just so
53:05
Speaker 1: eerily accurate. But at the end of the day today,
53:07
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be going into any theories about anything.
53:10
Speaker 1: I'm just putting this stuff out there for you guys
53:13
Speaker 1: to draw your own conclusions because I thought this was
53:16
Speaker 1: incredibly interesting and I wanted to make a video about it.
53:19
Speaker 1: Why don't you let me know your thoughts on all
53:21
Speaker 1: of this in the comments section below. Tell me if
53:24
Speaker 1: there are examples that I missed, tell me what you
53:26
Speaker 1: believe about this. Do you think these were instances of
53:29
Speaker 1: predictive programming? Do you think they were just extremely shocking
53:33
Speaker 1: and sad coincidences? What do you think was going on here?
53:37
Speaker 1: Because I really don't know what to think. I have
53:39
Speaker 1: my own thoughts about everything, but I'll be sharing those
53:41
Speaker 1: at a later date with a more full, robust episode
53:45
Speaker 1: about this subject matter. An extremely long, thorough episode two,
53:49
Speaker 1: not like a forty five minute piece. I think it'll
53:51
Speaker 1: probably end up being like two and a half to
53:53
Speaker 1: three hours long. So yeah. Also, I want to state
53:56
Speaker 1: for today's episode a fit check. This is a vintage
54:01
Speaker 1: September eleventh shirt in support of the firefighters. So thank
54:05
Speaker 1: you to everybody in case anybody who was affected by
54:07
Speaker 1: this tragedy watches this video. Thank you to those who served.
54:11
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly appreciative and you know, grateful for those who
54:15
Speaker 1: not only served, but served and ended up losing their lives,
54:18
Speaker 1: whether firefighters, police officers, anybody involved. And obviously my heart
54:23
Speaker 1: and you know all my sympathy and condolences still go
54:26
Speaker 1: out to those who lost loved ones on that day.
54:29
Speaker 1: That's absolutely horrific stuff. Thank you to everybody for watching today.
