12 Monkeys — NATO — GLOBAL Cassandra effect.

first published Nov 13 2019 ----

Cassandra was a daughter of Priam in the Greek myth. Daughter to the King of Troy, Apollo provided her with the gift of being able to foretell the future, but when Cassandra refused Apollo’s romantic advances, he placed a curse ensuring that nobody would believe her warnings. Cassandra was left with the knowledge of future events, but could neither alter these events nor convince others of the validity of her predictions.

The metaphor has been applied in a variety of contexts, such as psychology, environmentalism, politics, science, cinema, the corporate world, and philosophy, and has been in circulation since at least 1949, when French philosopher Gaston Bachelard coined the term “Cassandra Complex” to refer to a belief that things could be known in advance.

Is it a complete coincidence that also in 1949….

In 1949, there were 12 founding members of the NAOT Alliance: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States.

12 monkeys is a Science fiction story based on the French movie La Jetée (1962). This movie was an expression of the past, present, future and the after effects of the World War III, tracing the life of a man, a slave who travels in time to find a solution to the world’s destiny.

12 monkeys is set in 2035 where humanity lives underground due to the air borne virus that kills 5 billion of the worlds population. The spoiler is that when Science and the Insurance companies get together with global effect of an incurable disease. The Scientists and Insurance brokers power and secure positions as Lords and Masters over humanity is guaranteed. Always searching for a cure with a population of trapped humans in underground bunkers to experiment on.

Now how does this utilise time travel, prophecy and the curse of Cassandra effect in not being able to express or be taken seriously about the future predictions. The image below will display what words can not.
