From The War of the Worlds to Gravity’s Rainbow to Minority Report, there have been a bewildering number of works of “fiction” that seem to predict our future. Today on Corbett Report Radio we examine the concept of “predictive programming” and look for examples in our current day and age.
I only recently discovered this example of predictive programming from 1977 called “Alternative 3” while listening to old tapes from the Mae Brussell show.
It’s done in the fake news style of “War of the Worlds” – only the this time subject is climate change…but don’t worry, there are still some Martians in it 🙂
The theme is that climate change is about to devastate the Earth and that the USA and the Soviet Union have been are secretly conspiring all along to Geo-engineer Mars and make it liveable for a select Elite from Earth.
It was meant to air on April the 1st in UK but was delayed a few months due industrial action.
Filmed by Anglia Television (Now ITV) – so it is not far from the home of Climategate.
There is a copy online for anyone interested in watching it.
