The Impact of Predictive Programming

Predictive programming involves shaping public perception by subtly introducing ideas or scenarios before they become reality. The discussion highlights how narratives related to terrorism, such as those surrounding Al-Qaeda and funding origins, are framed to prepare the public for future events. Both speakers express concern over how certain narratives, like those presented by Sarah Adams, may gloss over critical funding details while perpetuating agency agendas. This programming aims to ensure reactions align with desired public sentiment during inevitably catastrophic events.
