1984 in 2026

Interesting.
The LA Rams beat the Chicago Bears tonight (closer to the Super Bowl). Los Angeles – the city in which “Exit Party” (discussed just yesterday) is set in the aftermath of civil war, involving a fracturing of the timeline.
Of course, right now in the real world, the city at the edge of a dark timeline is Minneapolis. ICE, murder, protests, and now the military is getting ready to go in.

Things are progressing exactly as we anticipated ominously and by now it should be clear to anyone here that the Prince countdown on New Year’s Eve (Stranger Things 5 finale), just a week before the Renee Good killing, was no joke. We knew beforehand that Stranger Things 5 was going to give us big omens, and big omens we got. Prince was famously from Minneapolis…
…and the Prince songs played in the episode, “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain“, were both released in 1984. Is “Nineteen Eighty-Four” not exactly what’s happening around us right now especially in the United States?
Minneapolis is 1984 in (January) 2026. Everything is “upside down” around us.
There is also this… Stranger Things 5:
- Ends via Prince/Minneapolis
- Begins with a city under quarantine, under military control (after a flashback to 1983)
——
How does this story end? Just… Dark Fate? Well, look at this…
Linda Hamilton and Mackenzie Davis in “Terminator: Dark Fate” (2019).
The same Linda Hamilton in Stranger Things 5…
And the same Mackenzie Davis in “Station Eleven” (TV series/HBO)…
…based on Emily St. John Mandel’s novel by the same name. The same Emily St. John Mandel who wrote aforementioned “Exit Party” (coming out in September), i.e. Los Angeles in the aftermath of a civil war, with a fracturing timeline, resonating with time-traveling Terminator movies.
The original Terminator movie was released in 1984 (starring Linda Hamilton).
