Klaus Schwab says that through, "Prescriptive Programming", elections won't be necessary in the future...

To understand what he meant, two upcoming productions - a movie titled "Civil War" and a documentary "God And Country" give us a clue.

These pieces, launching before the pivotal 2024 elections, seem to be more than mere entertainment.

They appear to be chess pieces in a grander game of social and political influence, a game that some theorize is akin to what might be called "prescriptive programming."

Let's start with the film "Civil War." Picture this: a trailer showcasing a society torn apart by right-wing extremism, journalists cast as the valiant truth-seekers and defenders of democracy.

The narrative is potent, timely, and, for some, deeply concerning. It's a storyline that seems to fit snugly into the prevailing winds of political discourse, reinforcing certain narratives while subtly undermining others.

Then there's "God And Country," a documentary poised to take a critical look at Christian Nationalism.

In a nation where faith and politics often intertwine in complex and sometimes controversial ways, this film promises to add fuel to an already blazing fire of debate and discussion.

These productions aren't merely isolated cultural artifacts; they are potential catalysts in an era where media content is increasingly viewed through the lens of political impact and psychological influence.

This perspective recalls a speculative concept mentioned by Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum.

In a discussion about the future impact of AI, Schwab mused on technology's evolution from analytical to predictive, and possibly to prescriptive capabilities.

Schwab's musings and these upcoming media releases form a curious mosaic.

These films, with their charged themes and timely releases, seem to embody the essence of the concept of "Prescriptive Programming" - media content that might be seen as prescribing a certain viewpoint or attitude towards contemporary political and social issues.

The idea that media can influence public opinion isn't novel. What's intriguing here is the alignment of these filmic narratives with broader societal and political currents, particularly as America approaches a critical election.

It's not about overt propaganda; it's more subtle, a shaping of the cultural milieu, a gentle nudging of public consciousness in a direction that aligns with certain ideologies or perspectives.

In dissecting these developments, one must tread the line between skepticism and open-mindedness.

It's easy to veer into the realm of conspiracy theories, but it's equally naive to dismiss the profound impact media can have on public perception and opinion.

These films, irrespective of their artistic merit or intent, are poised to become part of the larger conversation about media's role in shaping not just culture, but also the political landscape.

As the world gears up for the releases of "Civil War" and "God And Country," it's worth pondering the power of media in our lives.

Are these productions mere reflections of our times, or are they tools subtly sculpting the contours of our societal and political understanding?

Unbelievable for the Secretary of State to unnecessarily admit weakness so explicitly in any political climate, let alone this one.

The correct response was, “The United States is able to support all of its allies at any time by any means necessary. Next question.”
I don’t advocate the United States being involved in any international conflict, but we should never admit or allow for our inability to interfere. “Speak softly, and carry a big stick.”

Remember when Hillary sold uranium to Russia?

Remember when Biden threatened to cease foreign aid to Ukraine unless it fired the prosecutor investigating Burisma while Hunter was serving on the board of Burisma?
Remember when they impeached Trump for suggesting Ukraine reopen the investigation into Biden corruption?

All 14 properties of Fascism are expressed by the political left in the United States except one…

🧵
“The Cult of Tradition” - the left suggests all truth has been revealed by the oppressor and oppressed dynamic in the United States and justice is a matter of rectifying inequality derived from racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted attitudes among white oppressors.
“Rejection of Modernism” - the left is expressing antagonistic attitudes toward western civilization and enlightenment ideals as they are seen to be products of white supremacy.
