At the house where the Satanists were planning their ceremony, the security wasn't all that strong:
"They knew that their fellow citizens, in this brave new century, chose to be unaware of them, to consign their master and them to the realm of myth. No one would come looking for them because no one believed in their existence."
When Odd Thomas spies on the Satanists gathering, he sees "a well-known film actor, a United States senator, and a couple other faces that were familiar but that I couldn't identify."
"...they were protected by their master, the rebel angel who was the prince of this world, to whom they had pledged everything. He said that they were untouchable. And perhaps they trusted one another not to steal and not to betray them with video on the Internet because when they had joined the dark-siders, they had surrendered their free will and no longer had the capacity to change their minds and betray the cult. A satanic society, after all, would operate as the ultimate totalitarianism."
Not that this story has anything to do with real life. Nah!
If you are intrigued, happy reading!
Dean Koontz has more than one coincidental passage in his books. From the 1981 novel "The Eyes of Darkness":

WOW.
That's a YUGE wow! Guess Koontz was trying to tell us! 💥
Or he just gets kicks writing truth and making it look like fiction to condition us. Either or.
Yeah. It's hard to know for sure. It's like netflix. A LOT of great educational content under the guise of "Fiction"...
Not really sure either because I never read that genre.
When I see things like this, it only confirms the idea that Carlin said about being a big club and you ain't in it. I think there are so many people that are "above" the level of everyone else that are in the know. Take what Gaddafi said to the UN about a virus and selling the vaccines. Aaron Russo was told about 9/11 by Nick Rockefeller. Boris Johnsons dad wrote about a virus called covid. I think a lot of these people are told what is going to happen as a way to pull them into the group. There are far too many "coincidences" which show up as the storyline for books, movies, and music. And before anyone says "predictive programming", I believe this is something beyond that. The people that let loose the "coincidental" things, do so not b/c they were told to, but simply b/c the idea is too good to sit on and they couldn't keep their mouth shut.
If you have done any kind of investigating/researching the topics Q has covered, you start to see that more people are pulled into cabal/nwo than born into it. You see how people are coerced, blackmailed, brainwashed, threatened, and so forth. But the vast majority of them aren't bright enough to not repeat something so juicy, so it comes out in films, books, and song, which they claim as their own unique ideas. The concepts are so outlandish that they are applauded for coming up with something so original, yet they are either parroting what they heard or changing the names/places as not to divulge too much.
Remember, we're talking about people who concocted a plan so vast and secret that people would not believe it if they heard it.
Once I realized how much I thought was true was a verifiable lie, it lead to questioning just how big the lie really is. The rabbit hole goes deep and the signs are everywhere. We're talking about falsehoods that have been propagated for generations, which leads to reality itself being questioned. I find this to be an equally terrifying and exciting thought.
Some of what we find is pattern and some is coincidence. I think most of us here exist in that space, questioning everything because the lies are impossible to ignore now, and moving on without the truth isn't an option.
The "club" is real and humanity has to confront and destroy it. The only way forward is truth.
"Moving on without the truth isn't an option." Well said.
Well said! 👏 Hunter_Slaptop
Bingo Choctaw!
Came to say this updoot
Looks like that is on page 333
Hardcover and paperback will be different.
On my reading list pronto.
If you haven't read his work, you are in for a treat. Based, loves dogs, tells a very imaginative story - but unlike Stephen King, there is no diarrhea of the typewriter. By this, I mean that King would spend 20 pages describing some trees outside a house, that have absolutely nothing to do with the story. You could easily trim ~50% of the pages from almost any King novel, and never come close to touching either the plot, or anything essential to the characters.
Dean does a masterful job, of keeping you entertained, developing each character, describing the scene, and presenting the story in a manner that it's often a difficult book to put down. When I have a long flight, or am in the mood for a thriller, he's one of my favorites. I would compare his style to Michael Crichton, but more on the light side. Where Crichton would provide an appendix listing various facts, court cases, or scientific facts supporting his story; Dean Koontz is more of a "disengage your brain, sit back, get comfortable and be entertained:, kind of author. Enjoy the story. Both are fantastic authors, but Crichton is pretty intense. I personally am just not a fan of Stephen King, politically nor as a reader of his stories. I will acknowledge his creativity and genius; just not my cup of tea as an author. Your mileage may vary, and that's perfectly fine.
I've read everything of his I can get my hands on. Started over 20 years ago..... I cannot believe I m old enough to make a 20 years ago reference. I'm just going to go sit in a corner and cry while I read my James Rollins Sigma series book.
May have to check James Rollins out ... been hitting the "Classics" lately. Arthur C Clark, Heinlein, and Asimov.
I just read the Dune novels, good times. I've been looking for good authors after finishing that series - gonna checkout a few in this thread.
Patrick Rothfus is an author I love to hate. Wrote “Name of the Wind”, which has outsold Tolkien
It’s been over 10 years and he still hasn’t finished his trilogy
Yeah, I read the first two in the trilogy - pretty amazing. Waiting with the tumbleweeds for the final part....
How do you guys have time to read?? I can barely keep up here and on TS...
Careful with the Heinlein... his early stuff was genius (Green Hills of Earth, Door into Summer, Puppet Masters, etc.) but his later books were - not good. Just a heads up.
Thanks for the info.
Me too!
Stephen King’s “Dr. Strange” has strong adrenochrome themes.
And King always seems to have some demented sex sub-plot as part of his stories.
I totally agree with you about Koontz.
I wasn't surprised to learn Stephen king s deep state...I read his books until they got too dark...koonz was another matter..his stories may have dark topics but are not dark. I read his dad was an alcoholic and his life as a child wasn't good....I think he wrote it all out of him...just read a James Herbert and wished I hadn't...too dark for my taste.
Dean Koontz didn't kill himself. Prayers for his safety! 🙏
What do you mean? Has he been ill? Or is someone saying he died?
No...that's just a saying when someone who drops truth could be in jeopardy.
Thanks for that ..
Of course fren!
And now I'm reading books again :)
Any writer that loves dogs, and Dean Koontz obviously loves; that tells a story directly, and originally, is an author I follow. I must have close to 80% of everything he's written on my iPad (yeah, that is my poison of choice).
Is this the same odd Thomas that a movie was made about a few years ago?
Great film. Oddly, the actor from that movie (Anton Yelkin) died of a mysterious Jeep accident. He was crushed while getting the mail when his Jeep rolled backwards down the hill and crushed him. Very tragic!
Very tragic! Makes me wonder if the book to movie adaptations would reveal too much of the truth, and Hollywood just can't have that.... He was awesome in star trek IMO!
Like how in the movie three of the satanist terrorists turned out to be local cops?
Yep! It's heavily ingrained into all levels of society it seems like. Especially the higher echelons
I really liked him, too. He is in the Broken Bells video Holding on for Life, which is a great tune, IMO.
Edit: you are probably right about the Hollywood thing. Kind of like Anne Heche.
Exactly what I was thinking.... The jeep "mysteriously" rolling and crushing him out of the blue was sus to begin with. And now, knowing what I know, it's EXTRA sus...
Watching some star trek today and I was thinking exactly this, how weird the way he died. Gonna watch that last movie.
What makes it less sus is there was a recall on that model of Jeep for that exact problem.
Don't forget Gloopty's Razor: "Do not be quick to blame conspiracy as a cause when Dodge's faulty engineering is more likely."
Loved Anton Yelkin, he was a great voice actor too. He knew something the cabal didn't want him to know, so they offed him.
He also played the kidnapped kid in Alpha Dog
It was blamed on the strangely-designed gearshift, which was immediately discontinued and the old design restored.
While it WAS a stupid design for a gearshift, his tragic death has always bugged me...
Movie was nothing compared to the books! Great stuff!
Seems to be the case in Hollywood honestly. Lots of book to movie adaptations are straight trash (looking at you eragon....)
Wasn't the book written by a 13-year-old?
Agreed. The movie was based on the first Odd Thomas book, as I recall, and the book was way better.
Yes.
Interesting... I'll have to read the books now. Makes me wonder now about the circumstances of the death of the actor who played odd Thomas...
Yes the movie didn't do it justice
Just happens to be 17 children.
Thought someone would catch that.
I remember that book. A lot of Dean Koontz books deal with spiritual stuff, bad and good.
I've read a few Dean Koontz books, but it was a long while back. I would say that what I like about his stories is that there is a great emphasis on being better, learning from mistakes, protecting those weaker than yourself. Definitely appreciate his stories more now than I did than. Maybe I'll go get some koontz, it's been 15 years since I've read him.
Koontz Is a Christian.
Odd Thomas is one of my favorite series, but I have not read it knowing some of what I now know. Gonna have to reread it.
Also recommended reading is Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon. Beats The Stand, plus Stephen is a douche and I suspect is a kiddy diddler as well.
"Potestas" is a Latin word which means power.
And everyone would know that if we all prayed the Lord's Prayer in Latin! It's the most effective language to pray it in as this is how it was given to us.
I'm not sure I understand that. I got the Lord's Prayer in 1600s English. It was originally written in Hebrew. I was just pointing out what the "Potestas" means in Latin, as that is used in a lot of creepy crap.
Okay, I'm down.
*Emphatic hand slam on table top
Thomas comes from the Hebrew word “ta'om,” meaning “twin.”
Gemini is the third astrological sign in the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this sign between about May 21 to June 21. Gemini is represented by the twins, Castor and Pollux
Gemini is associated with the 3rd House of Communication, Information, and Messages, and is even ruled by Mercury, the messenger planet
DONALD TRUMP is born a Gemini. he is the esoteric 'Odd Thomas' or 'Odd Twin' bringing information to the masses and battling "Potestas" (John Podesta lol)
Potestas = power in Latin
Whoa! I got a sticky. And I didn't even bother the mods asking for one.
Wow. Good find.
The Odd Thomas series is interesting.
I have read the whole series, twice. It’s excellent.
Dark Rivers of the Heart. All about The IC.
The Odd Thomas series was one of my favorite Kootnz books -Moon light bay series is amazing!
That is deeply odd
That's really interesting. I haven't read Dean Koontz in many years (generally was a bit too dark for my taste), but I do see him and his wife and golden retriever quite frequently at our fave restaurant! Seems a nice sort!
I meant the golden XD
BTW: I understand the golden actually has a famous book written about her, so that's pretty fun!
There was also a Dean Konya book titled Twilight Eyes. It was about ‘goblins’ that could make themselves look like normal people. It was very much like They Live. There was also a secret space program with DEW.
The movie They Live is one monsterly based movie.
Ironically so given that Carpenter insists that the movie was a "take that" against Reagan.
