Misdirection is craft. The Committee of 300 lurks in the fringes, John Coleman's 92
pamphlet sketching a cabal, engineering the endgame through celluloid,
depopulation flicks, New World Orders in the margins, occult nods in the credits.
The online forums hum. And the false flags. The Lone Gunman's pilot episode aired March 4, 2001,
and is now legendary for its eerie prescience. In it, the protagonists uncover a secret U.S.
government faction planning to hijack a commercial airliner by remote control
and crash it into the World Trade Center. The motive? To stage a terrorist attack,
blame it on a foreign dictator, in the story a fictional Middle Eastern country,
and boost defense spending in a new Cold War-style conflict. Six months later, 9-11,
the Patriot Act, and a two decades-long war on terror lines the pockets of the military industrial
complex. Before that, Fight Club's buildings fell like cards, anarchists resetting the financial
sector. Because we saw the buildings drop before, we didn't question the misdirect where Suits,
and not Tyler Durden, reset the scales in favor of Wall Street during the 2008 Great Recession.
