Barney Miller, Trilateral Commission Predictive Programming
A 1970s episode of the sitcom "Barney Miller" featuring Jeffrey Tambor is analyzed as an early example of predictive programming. In the clip, Tambor's character rants about the Trilateral Commission, David Rockefeller, and a "one-world government." The hosts argue that by placing these "truths" in the mouth of a comedic or "crazy" character, the media conditions the public to dismiss real geopolitical coordination as mere conspiracy theory.
