These things aren't scripted and produced year ahead of actual news cycles by happenstance. Clancy's novels are more thematic, which allows them to hold up over decades.
What I'm saying is that after a thing happens, everyone calls it predictive programming or soft disclosure. Instead, I think it is more a kind of collective wish-fulfillment that people allow to play out by inattention. The ending of this work, for instance, so far hasn't happened. I wonder why that is?
Sure. However, intelligence has many branches with many purveyors of "soft disclosure". None of them are hitting on the cylinders that this work is. It might be that everyone decided to use it as a subconscious kind of script more than it is that intelligence is driving the narrative. I suspect much of what happens in America has more to do with the population becoming greedy and lazy than it does with an evil, small cadre controlling the world. If the people are energized, that kind of crap won't fly.
It depends. Net Force's cover doesn't do that: https://booklight.top/posts/2025-06-24-tomclancy
I'd just take the Tom Clancy in big bold print off and make it small. If it ain't Clancy, it is gonna show.
@SimpleStacker This bud is for you.
You mean in the sense of my opinion, or the info in the review? In both cases, there is a large amount of restraint. My opinion, for instance, is that if Germany had had more Bonhoeffers there would have been no Hitler and likely a lot less WWII.
Marriage is perhaps the greatest adventure to undertake. It is either the best decision or the worst investment. Little in between there.
Great analysis! Yes, Bonhoeffer was big on "practical Christianity" that did not reject the world but played a real, living role in it. For him, the answer where the assassination plot was involved was a consequence of that orientation.
Of course, he could also have stayed in the US and lobbed theological bombs and shored up support. He felt like, however, that he would have no claim to helping Germany rebuild its postwar church if he was not there to suffer with it when it was in trouble. Of course, his suffering led also to his execution and absence. Therefore, one could ask the question as to whether his personal worth and theological vision was more important than solidarity with the suffering of his countrymen. His love for his country and brethren made that choice for him, and the plot followed as a consequence.
In the back of the book, he talks about meeting primary witnesses, or people who knew Bonhoeffer directly. He had a lot of letters that were found at one point, and it does not seem he kept much of a journal or if he did, I didn't see it mentioned as a source in this book.
Most people are side-quests in someone else's main story arc.
Did you get hitched yet?
@SimpleStacker You still pushing sats and not daisies, pilgrim?
@SimpleStacker It's that time again!
This seems, to me, like an opinionated default that start9 considers good security, (or maybe certain apps do) since privacy mode disallows cookies and other things that show where you have been. Therefore, I'd expect the answer lies that way more so than at a browser level.

That sounds like what privacy mode would try to do.
hmm. The ending of the EO is not what I'd call "pretty" but it is conclusive.
I have a different idea for why we don't see the ending like the book has but the tragedies only. It has to do more with human nature and what it has faith in.
I understand your points, though, about "priming" a population.
