H.G. Wells Time machine parallels. There are many parallels in HG Wells novel “The Time Machine” to what we see happening now. A synopsis: “H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine offers a dystopian vision of humanity’s future. A scientist builds a time machine and travels to future. He finds that humanity has devolved into two races: the childlike Eloi and the monstrous Morlocks.” I see the norms as the Eloi and the deep state as the Morlocks. The Cannibalistic Morlocks that prey on the Eloi. The Morlocks who keep the upper world happy only to use the Eloi as food and slaves. The parallels are interesting in that our hero uses a time machine to go forward in time as did Q in the posts (2 and 3 year deltas). It’s also interesting that there was a time machine “looking glass” speculated as part of the Mechanism that Q might have used in writing the posts. Thoughts?

The parallels themselves make sense, but not the time machine. I think both H.G. Wells and George Orwell knew where the globalists were headed. That is the same for "The Illuminati" card game by Peter Jackson games. Recall that there was a lawsuit to stop distribution of that game.
Not directly on topic, but my first thought is how much of science fiction presents a dystopian future. It's as if they are trying to instill a fearful expectation that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. By "they" I don't necessarily mean every author and movie-maker themselves. I think many of them are just trying to create a thrilling story, but there is a zeitgeist in the genre that leaves me quite cynical about it overall. Darkness is promoted, and It seems to go hand-in-hand with the fear porn in the news and even the fatalistic eschatology of much of the church. It's very hard for me to find satisfying science fiction that portrays a positive future for mankind. Even if a small band of heroes manages to conquer in the end, the most consistent message seems to be that a horrible nightmare is unavoidable, so buckle up.
Star Trek was, of course, a notable exception. It presented a hopeful future with a kind of ascendency, even if it was grossly inconsistent with it's own preaching. ("Mankind has learned to resolve its differences without violence," or something like that. "Now let's go beat up some Klingons.) Perhaps that's why the franchise became so popular. Sure, there were threats the characters had to face, but the civilization Star Trek presented was peaceful and prosperous, and the advancement of technology was a benefit, not the tool of our destruction.
How strange that we seem to be living in a science fiction novel right now, but is it a more positive story in which a genuine nightmare that had been planned for us has been avoided. At this point it doesn't matter if the wealthy elite make a show of trying to reschedule the apocalypse. Those plans have been preempted. The Great Awakening is already well underway, and it will continue whether they like it or not. It will continue until they are gone.
Well's short story "The Last Trump" is interesting reading.

“Men will go on in their ways as rabbits will go on feeding …” H.G. Wells is a realist, he sees the world as it is … some will be awakened, others will never see what is right before them.
Thanks I will …
Dasting for sure. I know the works inside and out. "Possibly" for sure. I will never throw a theory under the bus just because it doesn't fit my historical frame of reference. These dayz, what does?
Interesting
