### Twisted Metal 2 and the Paris Olympics: Predictive Programming for the Apocalypse?
#### Introduction
"Twisted Metal 2," released on October 31, 1996, is a vehicular combat game that has left a lasting impression on gamers. One of its most memorable levels is "Paris: Monumental Disaster," where players can wreak havoc in the streets of Paris, including the iconic Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. As the 2024 Paris Olympics approach, some speculate about the game’s potential predictive programming and its apocalyptic themes. This blog explores these connections, focusing on the intriguing inclusion of the Mona Lisa and other symbolic elements.
#### The Paris: Monumental Disaster Level
In "Twisted Metal 2," the Paris level is designed to be chaotic and destructive, mirroring the game's overall theme. Set amidst famous Parisian landmarks, it offers players the ability to destroy the Eiffel Tower, which then creates strategic advantages for combat. This destruction of cultural icons is central to the game’s allure.
#### The Mona Lisa and the Louvre and the 128
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Paris level is the inclusion of the Mona Lisa. Here’s a detailed look:
1. **Finding the Mona Lisa**: Players can discover the Mona Lisa inside the Louvre Museum, adding an element of exploration beyond the combat-focused gameplay.
2. **Using Napalm on the Mona Lisa**: By using Napalm on the painting, players reveal a special cheat code. This interaction not only serves as an Easter egg but also adds a layer of depth to the game, encouraging players to engage with the environment creatively.

#### Gematria Connections
The numbers 44 and 223, prominently featured in the gematria analyses of terms like "Monumental Disaster" and "Twisted Metal," add a layer of numerical intrigue to the discussion. The number 44 appears in contexts such as "Twisted Metal" and "Trump Assassin," while 223 is associated with terms like "Monumental Disaster" and "Baltimore Bridge Collapse." These specific numbers are often interpreted by theorists as having significant, possibly hidden meanings. For example, 223 can be seen as a reverse of the biblical number 322, linked to the Skull and Bones society, suggesting secretive or ominous implications. The recurrence of these numbers in different contexts and media could be interpreted as a form of predictive programming, hinting at future events or underlying connections in world affairs.
#### The Number 27 and Nas's "27 Summers"
The number 27 appears prominently in the context of "Twisted Metal 2" and the upcoming Paris Olympics. The time span from the game's release on October 31, 1996, to July 27, 2024, is 27 years, 8 months, and 27 days. This span can also be represented as 27 years and 270 days, emphasizing the recurrence of the number 27.
This number is further highlighted by the Nas song "27 Summers."

#### Connection to "I, Pet Goat III"
The apocalyptic imagery in "I, Pet Goat III" bears a striking resemblance to the themes in "Twisted Metal 2." The image from "I, Pet Goat III" shows the Eiffel Tower under attack, much like in the game. This parallel further fuels theories of predictive programming, suggesting a connection between different media depicting similar catastrophic events in Paris.
The eerie alignment of these themes across different works of fiction raises questions about the potential influence of media on public perception and the subconscious preparation for real-world events.
#### Predictive Programming and the Olympics
Predictive programming suggests that media and fiction are used to prepare the public for future real-world events. The destruction depicted in "Twisted Metal 2" could be seen as foreshadowing real-life chaos, particularly with the upcoming Paris Olympics scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
With the Olympics set to draw global attention to Paris, theorists suggest that the game's scenarios might desensitize the public to potential disruptions or disasters. The destruction of the Eiffel Tower and the Mona Lisa in the game could symbolize broader themes of cultural and societal upheaval.
#### Conclusion
"Twisted Metal 2" remains a compelling blend of intense combat and cultural commentary. The Paris level, with its ability to destroy the Eiffel Tower and interact with the Mona Lisa, pushes boundaries and invites deeper reflection on the value of cultural icons. The recurring number 27, both in the game's timeline and in Nas's "27 Summers," adds an intriguing element to the discussion.
Furthermore, the striking similarities between the game and the imagery in "I, Pet Goat III" enhance the narrative of predictive programming, prompting discussions about media influence and its impact on real-world events.
As the Paris Olympics approach, the game’s themes of chaos and destruction gain new relevance, adding a fascinating layer to the conversation about media influence and real-world events.
