A utility company locked thousands of customers out of their smart thermostats in Colorado

 https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/a-utility-company-locked-thousands-of-customers-out-of-their-smart-thermostats-in-colorado/ar-AA11uzC0

So MSN has various reports on this control grid power grab.

This is the start of totalitarian energy grid control upon the masses.

Perhaps more people will start to realize that living with smart-home tech isn't always the best choice.

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/september-heat-wave-colorado-record-highs

Home temperature limits, along with food and travel restrictions can all be used to remind people that they are under the control of something very ominous. Just like some malevolent force out of a Sci-Fi horror movie.

Some people can hardly wait for the day when they will have to ask their smartphone permission to leave their home for several hours. If AI determines that they will be using up too much of their daily carbon units, they just might have to stay at home. It's all part of human herd training and control.

Unnecessary off-grid deaths in Colorado

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/29/colorado-springs-family-died-off-the-grid

Stories such as The_Stand and The_Mosquito_Coast might have motivated some people over the years to move into the wilderness or jungle.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/questions-linger-death-family-went-grid-colorado-wilderness-rcna96851

The_Postman and The_Road are also stories which might have also caused some people to live off grid in the wilderness.

https://nypost.com/2023/07/28/family-who-died-off-grid-only-watched-youtube-to-prepare

Perhaps last summer and the fall went alright for them, but they really should have prepared for what winter would be like in the Colorado mountains.

https://people.com/family-died-trying-live-off-the-grid-told-loved-ones-about-plan-we-tried-to-stop-them-7566610

They didn't have to make their last stand in the Colorado wilderness during the winter. They could have come in from the cold and resumed their off-grid lifestyle in the spring and then be better prepared for the next winter. At least they should have gone into Gunnison,_Colorado for some winter supplies, before it was too late.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/07/26/colorado-family-live-off-grid-dead

However, perhaps even going to Gunnison might have been too much civilization for them.

"Gunnison residents isolated themselves from the surrounding area during the Spanish Influenza epidemic for two months at the end of 1918. All highways were barricaded near the county lines. Train conductors warned all passengers that if they stepped outside of the train in Gunnison, they would be arrested and quarantined for five days.^[8][9] This served as partial inspiration for the novel The Last Town on Earth (2006) by Thomas Mullen. The isolation was ultimately unsuccessful, as townspeople became restless after a few months, and the isolation was lifted in February 1919 only to have the flu arrive a month later, killing several." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnison,_Colorado#History

https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/next/gunnison-spanish-flu-epidemic-response-coronavirus-research/73-67791a7a-0492-48d4-abe2-b0184f672825 

"The plot centres on a pandemic resulting from a mishap at a military biological research station which allows the escape of a lethal strain of influenza. After the pandemic kills almost the entire world population, the few survivors are drawn to one of two figures, Randall Flagg and Mother Abagail, setting up a final good-vs-evil confrontation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stand_(2020_miniseries)

Living in the wilderness can be a matter of life and death, just like living in the city.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_states#Demographics

Some people prefer to go camping in the winter, but whatever the season, its imperative to be properly prepared. https://www.untamedspace.com/winter-camping/

The Drowned World

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drowned_World (1962)

Waterworld (1995) is an interesting Sci-Fi movie, but it was never a huge hit in the theaters.

"In 2500,^[4] as a result of the sea levels rising over 7,600 metres (24,900 ft), every continent on Earth is now underwater. The remains of human civilization live on rugged, floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land. It is believed that a mythological "Dryland" exists somewhere in the endless ocean." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterworld#Plot

"It is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.344 meters) above sea level." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver

https://whatculture.com/film/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-waterworld?page=16

According to the movie, Denver could easily be well under a sea-level of 7,600 metres (24,900 ft).

"Elevation measures the total height above sea level. Whereas, altitude is the height of something over the earth’s surface. Meaning towns, such as Denver, doesn’t have an altitude of 5,280, but an elevation. An airplane going overhead Denver, might be cruising at an altitude of 30,000 feet." https://www.uncovercolorado.com/highest-elevation-towns-in-colorado

As would also be the case for some cities in Mexico, since none of them are at 7,600 metres (24,900 ft).

"Elevations of 5,000 to 7,000 feet above sea level are not unusual for cities in Mexico’s colonial heartland as well as those in the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas.  Mexico City and Guadalajara are also cities situated at elevation." https://www.mexperience.com/breathing-high-altitudes-in-mexico

The 911 Intersection Throughout History

 392 years before what happened in 2001, Henry Hudson was drawn to that part of the world on 9-11.

"Henry Hudson discovered NYC via the Half Moon Ship on September 11, 1609.

Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his speech on September 11, 1941 that would plant America as a global economic and military superpower.

The US Military Defense The Pentagon started construction on September 11, 1941."

1935

"Charles Norris (December 4, 1867 – September 11, 1935) was New York's first appointed chief medical examiner (1918–1935)..."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Norris_(medical_examiner)

1944 & the # 911

Operation_Overlord and the Normandy_landings on Omaha_Beach. So much death happened there in Normandy. The #911 has been associated with so much death and destruction through the years.

"The fiefdom of Normandy was created for the Viking leader Hrólfr, known in Medieval Latin as Rollo. Rollo had besieged Paris but in 911 entered vassalage to the king of the West Franks, Charles the Simple, through the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy#Viking_raids_and_foundation_of_the_Norman_state

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911) 

"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.^[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte#The_treaty

"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Normandy#List_of_counts_of_Rouen_(911)

1297-9-11

"The Battle of Stirling Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Drochaid Shruighlea) was a battle of the First War of Scottish Independence. On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stirling_Bridge

704 years later, two Sterling_Silver like towers in NYC were destroyed with thousands of people in and around them.

"The columns were covered with aluminum, giving the towers a distinctive silver color." https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/wtc.htm

There is some peculiar 9-11 synchronicity with Frank_Serpico. 

"On September 11, 1959, Serpico joined the New York City Police Department (NYPD) as a probationary patrolman, and became a full patrolman on March 5, 1960." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Serpico#NYPD

The movie Serpico was released in late 1973, when the twin towers were quite prominent on the NYC skyline. http://cinesthesiac.blogspot.com/2016/12/1001-films-serpico-1973.html , https://moviesthatmove.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/serpico-conveying-angst 

Columbine 1999

"Dylan Bennet Klebold (/ˈkliːboʊld/; September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) was born in Lakewood, Colorado." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Dylan_Klebold 

Fortunately, most people born on 9-11 don't want to resort to causing death and destruction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#11:19_a.m.:_Shooting_begins

"One of the two teen-age gunmen who killed 12 other students and a teacher before killing themselves in a 1999 attack on Columbine High School described their plan in detail in his journals, and said that if they could not get out of the country after the attack, they would hijack a plane and crash it into New York City." http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/12/05/columbine.diary

"Soon after beginning his journal, Harris typed out one plan of attack which included after the massacre possibly escaping to a foreign country or hijacking an aircraft at Denver International Airport and crashing it into New York City." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Writings

"Parents of some of the victims filed several unsuccessful lawsuits against film companies, over films such as The Basketball Diaries, which includes a dream sequence with a student shooting his classmates in a trench coat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Lawsuits

The_Basketball_Diaries_(film) was released in 1995.

"The film became controversial in the aftermath of the 1997 Heath High School shooting and the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Critics noted similarities between those shooting attacks and a dream sequence in the film in which the protagonist (Leonardo DiCaprio) wears a black trenchcoat and shoots six students in his school classroom." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basketball_Diaries_(film)#Lawsuits

http://www.catholicboy.com/jc_columbine.php

"The Basketball Diaries is a 1978 memoir written by author and musician Jim Carroll." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basketball_Diaries_(book)

Jim Carroll died in 2009 on 9-11, of course.

"He became a naturalized American citizen on Sept. 11, 2012, according to documents obtained by NBC News." https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/boston-bombing-suspects-are-russian-brothers-officials-say/1954375

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzhokhar_Tsarnaev#2011_Waltham_triple_murder

Fortunately, most naturalized U.S. citizens don't want to cause death and destruction.

To this day, so many people remain unaware of how much death and destruction is connected to the #911. The #911intersects with various things besides aircraft.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shining_(film)#Plot

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9754837/Jack-Nicholson-photo-ending-Shining-goes-viral.html

The_Shining remains as one of the most enigmatic and cinematic productions in history.

A reincarnation loop trap where Jack was there before, but in another body and time. With VR, people can pretend to be various people, animals and creatures. How did people in ancient times ever get the idea that this world might be part of a system where humans return to have more than 1 life experience? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation#Origins , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation#Religions_and_philosophies The implication is that its all some kind of a cosmic interactive recording and projection. https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/3jdpzr/reincarnation_in_virtual_reality

https://the-take.com/read/at-the-end-of-the-shining-why-is-jack-in-the-photo-of-the-overlooks-july-4th-1921-party The ending of the movie implies that not everyone has a nice and comfortable life, and death. That there is a sinister force which can trick and trap people into orchestrated horrible scenarios.

"In the film, the motive of the ghosts is apparently to "reclaim" Jack (although Grady expresses an interest in Danny's "shining" ability), who seems to be a reincarnation of a previous caretaker of the hotel, as suggested by the 1920s photograph of Jack at the end of the film and Jack's repeated claims to have "not just a déjà vu". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shining_(film)#Comparison_with_the_novel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_Vu_(Crosby,_Stills,_Nash_and_Young_album) 

"...If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel I would probably know just how to deal With all of you And I feel Like I've been here before..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiDOMuhpqUo The song, Deja Vu could easily be about the wheel of life and reincarnation.

"On October 30, 1974,^[7] King and his wife Tabitha checked into The Stanley Hotel in nearby Estes Park, Colorado. They were the only two guests in the hotel that night. "When we arrived, they were just getting ready to close for the season, and we found ourselves the only guests in the place — with all those long, empty corridors".^[5]

Ten years earlier, King had read Ray Bradbury's 1950 short story "The Veldt" and was inspired to write a story about a person whose dreams would become real. In 1972, King started a novel entitled Darkshine, which was to be about a psychic boy in a psychic amusement park, but the idea never came to fruition and he abandoned the book. During the night at the Stanley, this story came back to him." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shining_(novel)#Background

Of course a story by Stephen+King or any writer, can be altered or adapted into a movie or TV production.
