I watched this 1981 film for the first time in quite a while. It's so incredible. The plot hinges around Air Force One getting hijacked and slammed into the World Trade Center. The President survives in a pod, but is kidnapped by the inmates of the New York City National Prison (the entire island of Manhattan has been turned into a prison colony with no guards.) Special Ops hero turned outlaw Snake Plissken is offered a full pardon if he can rescue the President within 23 hours.
The plane slamming into the Tower and the command center image of the pod going down into the building (like the "magic fireball" of 9-11 going down the elavator shaft) is just mind-blowing. You have to see it for yourself. This is a John Carpenter film, the same guy that did "They Live." In-the-know, indeed.

I was only thinking about that film a few weeks back and was wondering if it has any relevance today. I will have to watch it again. Not seen it since I was a kid (I didnt think much of it then but like I say I was a kid).

Look for Illuminati symbolism embedded in the film. A triangle with a celtic cross appears in the grafiti, as does the ubiquitous number 23. Snake's cobra tattoo, which resembles a question mark, is interesting. What are the details of his background? Is the reason everyone "heard he was dead" because he faked his death to escape his military obligations? His crime was robbing the Federal Reserve...

Great Film as it showcases what America will be like in a post Martial Law like atmosphere.....The follow up to this masterpiece...titled "Escape from L.A." is just as revealing....you will notice that the refusal to do anything about Immigration is explained away by this movie....The Mexican gangs and Cartels that are secretly financed by the CIA and controlled by the Roman Catholic Mafia...will see to it that these groups take over most of Los Angeles....
Mel Gibson in Mad Max...also reveals part of the plan...a post Nuclear age society over run by war lords and plagued by disease and famine...this same Gibson gave the world Apocalypto last year...A movie about the destruction of the Mayan Civilization but aimed at an American audience....Mr Gibson isn't as crazy as he appears to be....he understands whats coming....
New York and LA will be run by gangs...and this is precisely why the Deomocrats want the guns and allow illegal immigration to take place.....No Law and No Order will demand Martial Law....and only the Criminals will have weapons....This is what Chris Carpenter is trying to tell us.....

Wrong is Right (1982) is the best film to predict 9/11, Sean Connery is a TV reporter who discovers the government are fitting up an arab terrorist with 2 suitcase nukes, they tap his phone & edit the recordings to make fake tapes of him threatening the west & at the end of the film they plant the 2 bombs on the roof of the WTC South Tower & blame the terrorist for it, then the President gives the order to invade the Middle East. The leader of the opposition party is laughing about it, telling us they were both in on the plot from the start.
