Is AMC’s ‘Rubicon’ Telling Us Something?

By: Jay

In the opening titles to Rubicon, we have a fascinating sequence of imagery which appears to be the kind of clues that the protagonist, Will Travers might see in his personal analysis. The plot of the show centers around Will’s becoming entangled in a deep conspiracy at the highest levels of government involved in a secret society.  As readers of this and previous sites of mine know, predictive programming is something I have delved into, writing extensively on  it, and interviewing other key researchers in the field.

And it is precisely a high level conspiracy that Will uncovers in the show. But this sequence is interesting because it cuts from the owl scene to the opening credits, where we see the following imagery.

The all-seeing eye of Lincoln
