The title for this crazy article came from a fever dream where I was in an Arabic supermarket, and they kept ‘adding’ items to my shopping basket that I hadn’t picked up – including things that were half-eaten. It reminded me of the conspiracy caper The In-Laws (1979), with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, that dovetails with some new and disturbing revelations on everything from Oklahoma City to Charlie Kirk to 9/11.

Falk plays a roguish CIA man who gets his future in-law (Arkin) involved in a scam involving stolen dollar engravings. The plates are going to some South American despot who needs them to counterfeit dollars so he can pay off his country’s debts.

Lo and behold, something like that has actually happened, according to former CIA man Larry Johnson from Dialogue Works and Danny Haiphong. (There’s some of that in The A-Team [2010] movie, believe it or not.)

Then I watched this disturbing video, 4 Novels that Eerily Predicted Major World Events, talking about a crackpot author named Martin Keating who wrote a lackluster novel called The Final Jihad about foreign terrorists rubbing shoulders with Americans, typically in the heartland.

But Keating also predicted a ‘Tom McVeigh’ blowing up a building in Keating’s native Oklahoma while being arrested by a traffic cop. That’s exactly what transpired.

The author also predicted the first Trade Centre bombing in the novel. But the weird thing is that he was interviewed on these events, before his novel was published, literally on the same day as the Oklahoma City bombing.

The book was completed in 1991 and began in 1988, but it only saw the light of day in 1996. How could he have possibly known it all, and why the hell did they interview him in 1995 when the actual bombing happened?

Tom Clancy being interviewed over 9/11 made sense, given his novel with a plane crashing into the White House, which was logically published before the event. The YouTuber in question (Control Alt History) has noted, like so many other researchers, that Mr Keating’s brother was governor at the time of the bombing and also a former FBI man who had multiple intelligence links.

The author himself acknowledged that he had access to government studies and reports on terror threats to the country and used that as the basis for his outlandish plots. But this stretches credulity.

Control Alt History adds that the CIA maintains a voluminous library of spy novels that its agents regularly read to help them anticipate threats and plots. The KGB ended up doing the same thing after watching Three Days of the Condor (1975).

PHOTO FINISH: A neglected screenshot from 'Scarface' with Robert Kennedy in the background, along with other presidents like Richard Nixon. Well, RFK did describe organised crimes - and the intelligence community - as invisible governments!

Even more disturbing is this brand new interview of a former mobster turned informer, Greg Scarpa Jr. While in prison in the 1990s, he befriended the terrorist responsible for the first Trade Centre bombing, Ramzi Yousef, and reported on new plots involving the WTC to no avail.

Weirder still, after being shunted by the authorities, he learned about the network responsible for Oklahoma City and foiled one of their follow-up plots. But enemies upstairs refused to give him a reduced sentence; Scarpa exposed perjury in FBI court cases.

Now for some more on my analysis of Snake Eyes up against the Charlie Kirk assassination. Turns out Brian De Palma has always been attuned to conspiracies, with his movie Greetings (1968) dealing explicitly with JFK and charging that the police were the ones who fired from the Grassy Knoll.

I’ve always wondered about his conspiracy flick Blow Out (1981), where the key witness is told he heard an echo, not an extra shot, in tandem with the JFK witnesses. (Jim Garison and David Ferrie are mentioned by name in Greetings.)

There’s even presidential imagery in Scarface (1983), too, along with references in The Untouchables (1987), according to Cinema Sensationalist.

It could very well be, then, that De Palma keeps his ears peeled to the point of hearing about plots and trying to expose them beforehand in his movies. Hence, Snake Eyes and Charlie Kirk.

Well, John le Carré’s spy novel Agent Running in the Field (2019) reveals that it was Trump, during his first term, who ‘convinced’ certain elites in England to leave the EU. (Prophetic indeed given the ruckus over Greenland!)

Taking a second look at Mr Keating, you got the distinct impression he was 'performing' his TV interviews. His eyes kept looking downwards as if reading from notes or a script.

He also avoided eye contact with the attractive lady interviewer several times when asked an awkward question about his so-called predictions. The YouTuber did pitch another explanation however, the theory of ‘social programming’.

Such leaks are deliberate to normalise people for what lies ahead, such as terror as the new (and convenient) threat after Communism fizzled out. Recollect what I said about simulation theory, coming from France, and the Michael Crichton movie Looker?

Michael Crichton’s Looker did correctly anticipate what happened in Venezuela, with energy and sonic weapons being used to paralyse Maduro’s defenders.

A less spectacular explanation could just be that Mr Keating heard something on the grapevine about a ‘false flag’ operation and wrote about it in his novel, not realising the operation was for real. (Same for the original WTC bombing).

When it came real, he put the brakes on, or somebody stopped him from publishing, and got him to do his so-called interview and postponed the publication, specifically till after the WTC bombing.

Howard Hunt famously has an early character named ‘Hank’ Sturgis, after Frank Sturgis of later Watergate fame. If you look at another Nicolas Cage movie, Face/Off (1997), anti-federalist militia terrorists are mentioned there, too.

I shudder to think what's in store for us with Steven Speilberg's forthcoming Disclosure Day, given all the scientists and UFO researchers who have been dying recently.

RUN FOR YOUR MONEY: British spy novelist John le Carré could have saved himself a lot of trouble if he'd taken up science fiction instead.

Oh, here’s one more non-humorous aside. ICE agents have finally been compared to Nazi Brown Shirts, and would you know it, the opening episode of The Man in the High Castle has Brown Shirts in it.

I’d said previously that sci-fi alternate history is about satire, but it seems it also anticipates a disturbing social-science truth. That history has an irritating tendency to repeat itself!
