**Published**: 2025-5-25 | [archive](https://archive.is/dJ8Oy) ![[header.jpeg]] *The new **Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)** features prominent imagery of the destruction of a Seattle Space Needle-like building, which is consistent with other media foreshadowing.* The use of entertainment as propaganda to legitimize staged fictional news events is a well-documented phenomena. The man who coined the term *Public Relations*, [Edward Bernays](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays), was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. The co-founder of Netflix, [Marc Bernays Randolph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Randolph), is also in the family line. The mechanics of this technique is discussed at length in the article [[An Infuriating Enigma]]. Much like foreshadowing in a stage play, it becomes possible to infer what future theater productions (posing as real news) will appear on the world stage. ## An Unfulfilled "Prophecy" The entire [Final Destination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination) series is rich with concurrent programming elements. The first movie released [a year before](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_(film)) 9/11/2001 and centers on a group of teenagers who cheat death by exiting Flight 180—which would later explode—departing from JFK Airport in New York City. Approximately a year later on the world stage, our television screens would show us planes flying into the Twin Towers, located in Manhattan, NYC. ![[fd1.mp4]] *Key post-hypnotic suggestive phrases such as "Jet fuel burns" and "No known survivors" are featured in this scene shown in **Final Destination (2000)**.* This shouldn't come as a surprise, considering one of the screenwriters for the original film was [Glen Morgan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Morgan), who also worked on *The X-Files* and *The Lone Gunmen*, the latter of which had a [pilot episode](https://youtu.be/lsg8ENLQIiw?t=269) about the government performing an "inside job" domestic terror attack by crashing an airliner into NYC ([aired on March 4, 2001](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)#Similarities_to_9/11_attacks_in_pilot_storyline)). ![[loyola.jpeg]] *This screenplay writer attended the same private Jesuit theater university that awarded an honorary degree to Mel Gibson, a world stage actor often used in the Q-Anon psyop.* ![[mel_gibson_patriot.mp4]] *Mel Gibson also starred in **The Patriot (2000)**, which has a subconscious nod to 9/11.* The Final Destination franchise has [a variety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination#Films) of screenplay writers and directors throughout the series, and Glen Morgan would only appear as a writer for the first and third installment. ***Final Destination 3 (2006)*** would have a scene where a character implies that "Death" was involved in 9/11 and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. ![[fd3.mp4]] The most recent installment into the franchise, [***Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_Bloodlines), serves as both a sequel and a prequel, as it centers around a character who has a prophetic vision and stops "Death" from destroying a Seattle Space Needle-esque structure called ***The Skyview Tower*** back in the year 1968. ![[fd skyview.jpeg]] The rest of the film focuses on how the descendants of those who survived will need to die in freak accidents to maintain the balance of death. In [the trailer](https://youtu.be/UWMzKXsY9A4?t=30) for the movie, which has 35M+ views, a family cookout is shown with them playing a game of Jumbo Jenga—a subtle callback to the falling of the Twin Towers. ![[fd_jenga.jpeg]] ## The Century Renovation Project ![[space_needle_100.jpeg]] *The Century Project was a privately funded, $100 million renovation focused on both preserving and modernizing the 1962 Seattle Space Needle* Money (visually represented in entertainment media through dollar bills and coins) that went [into the renovation](https://www.spaceneedle.com/renovation) of the Seattle Space Needle and its destruction are often depicted together in the body of predictive programming. For example, the introduction to ***Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)*** begins with a shot of the iconic structure, as Sonic stops bank robbers from planting pipe bombs. ![[sonic_needle.jpeg]] ![[sonic_needle.mp4]] In the recent film ***Megalopolis (2024)***, by prominent metascript director ***Francis Ford Coppola***, a radical right-wing character portrayed by [Shia LaBeouf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_LaBeouf) is seen signing the $100 bill. He is executed in front of the signed bill at the end of the movie. ![[megalopolis_100.mp4]] ![[shia_100_bill.jpeg]] This is significant, as the entire film's theming revolves around the symbolic fall of the United States as Rome. The Seattle Space Needle, much like the Twin Towers, is an iconic structure representing the industrial genius of the United States empire. The association between money and the Needle is repeated in ***Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)***, as its destruction is caused by a penny being thrown off the top of the structure. ![[fd_penny.mp4]] Additionally, in [Season 7 Episode 4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0763025/?ref_=ttep_ep_4) of ***The Simpsons (1995)*** in an episode titled "Bart Sells His Soul" a short of *The Itchy & Scratchy Show* is shown involving both a penny and the destruction of the tower. ![[itchy_scratchy_needle.mp4]] As part of its renovation, the structure received a new all-glass elevator. It was completed and open to the public a mere ***7 days*** after the release of the film. This is concerning, as the intro premonition in the film shows deaths from a glass cracking floor and the elevator failing. ![[elevator.jpg]] ![[fd_elevator.mp4]] ## The Destroyed Needle or EMP? In the summer blockbuster hit, ***Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)***, both characters are transported to a realm where retired intellectual properties and destroyed structures are sent to. One can briefly observe a torn down Space Needle-like structure in the background during this scene. ![[deadpool_space_needle.jpg]] ![[deadpool.mp4]] The location of the Space Needle is also significant, as it is situated next to ***The Experience Music Project (EMP)*** which was later renamed to the [Museum of Pop Culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Pop_Culture). The acronym "EMP" subconsciously is associated with electromagnetic pulse, a type of attack which causes an electronic blackout. ![[emp_needle.jpeg]] This was portrayed in the musical blockbuster [***Wicked (2024)***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_(2024_film)) which was released on 11/3 (a backwards 311) and 11/22 (anniversary of JFK assassination). The film concludes with the [Emerald City](https://www.thoughtco.com/why-is-seattle-the-emerald-city-2964993) experiencing an EMP-like attack. Seattle is also known as the Emerald City. ![[seattle_emerald.jpeg]] ![[wicked_seattle_emp.mp4]] The city of Seattle is located in the 42nd state, ***Washington***. In one of the best-selling video games of its time, ***[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_2)***, one of the campaign missions involves a ***nuclear weapon*** detonating in space—simultaneously causing the destruction of the International Space Station (ISS) and a residual EMP blast through ***Washington***, D.C. ![[mw2_nuke_emp.mp4]] In a [recent trailer](https://youtu.be/mvP1DRM4Sqw?t=72) for ***The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)*** imagery of an explosion in the sky is coupled with a brief shot of what appears to be a nationwide EMP-like blackout. ![[f4_emp.gif]] This coincided with a new [*Empire* cover](https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/fantastic-four-first-steps-covers/) which served as a poster for the movie, showing a Space Needle-like building in the background and the letters ***EMP*** in the foreground. ![[emp_f4.jpg]] ## The Year of the Snake In the Chinese Zodiac, [the Snake](https://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/social_customs/zodiac/snake.htm) is the 6th sign. During the years associated with this sign, the world stage had events such as [the attack on Pearl Harbor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor) (1941) and the falling of [the Twin Towers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks) (2001). Both events were compared to each other. In between both events, on another Year of the Snake (1989), [King 5 Seattle aired](https://www.king5.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/almost-live/april-fools-prank-space-needle-collapsed/281-114304789) an April Fools' prank reporting on the destruction of the Seattle Space Needle. Watch an archive of this broadcast [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xeio-CJ0qZ8). ![[KING 5 Seattle - An April Fools' Joke Gone Awry... [Xeio-CJ0qZ8 - 1136x639 - 0m39s].jpeg]] *"The Space Needle collapsed." Those were the words from the KING 5 Newsroom which aired live on April 1, 1989, that launched perhaps the most infamous April Fools' Day prank in Seattle history and sent many in Washington state into a panic.* ## Tip of the Needle The examples shared in this article are but a small sample of subconscious suggestions pointing world stage audience minds to Seattle and its iconic structure in recent entertainment media. Just as there was a plethora of [media examples](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AUclXzapJo&t=47s) foreshadowing the destruction of the Twin Towers, we observe the same phenomenon for the Seattle Space needle, likely foreshadowing a similar fate on the world stage. Such an event would be a coast-to-coast destruction of key US landmarks, demoralizing the nation. As mentioned in a previous article, [[Spike Lee Metascript Breakdown]], it's possible the "culprit" blamed for this future news fiction will be domestic rather than foreign. ![[seattle needle disaster movie posters.jpeg]] *Poster from the 2012 TV movie [Seattle Superstorm (2012)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1910615/)* and [*End of the World (2018)*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9341628/) ## Share ``` https://mindwar.page/needle ``` [[Foreshadowing, not Prophecy|<< Back]]
