    predictive programming is the dumbest conspiracy ever. It's basically a dumbed down version of manufacturing consent. There's nothing to it. Some random corpo didn't do 9/11 lol.

    it was inevitable blowback from funding islamic fundamentalists to lure the soviets. Everything else was a combination of incompetence and purposeful inaction, and the subsequent exploitation of the chaos

      Yeah there's a whole world of "subliminal messages" conspiracy theories that amount to essentially nothing.

    • new advertisements are being pitched, shot, and aired every day

    • wealthy people network with one another

    :edgeworth-shrug: you don't need to build a story out of the former for the latter to be concerning

      They don't even say that's when it aired for the first time. It just so happened the ad was running at that time. Which is completely unsurprising if you've ever watched TV, because you get 20 of the same ad just watching one episode of a show. And they air on numerous channels.
