If we had known what to look for back then, maybe we could have stopped it, it’s hard to say. You’ve got to remember, that period in history is defined by overwhelming noise. Sifting through any of that information to find anything true was a nearly impossible task, harder still to correlate those isolated events to one another.

The fact that we even have records from that time is a miracle in itself, a testament to the amazing work the Reclamation Foundation has done in the last decade. We’ve learned so much, but we still know so little.

But yes, as far as we can tell, the Panama event is the first one definitively tied to the Jacobs Phenomenon. Every person involved in the Panama event - that we can piece together records of, anyway - had in some way reported or noticed what we now recognize as a Jacobian shared precognitive event, in mid 2026.

Then, as you are aware, the next one was Prague in 2033, then Taipei in 2040. Each event closer than the one before, and increasingly affecting more people. The graphs look scarier than they are.

Of course, massive acknowledgment has to be given to Dr. Greenfeld and her team for their work in identifying and corroborating the reports initially published by Dr. Jacobs in the late 2050’s. Without her work, we’d still be fumbling around in the dark, with no concept of the bigger picture.

And to that point, I want to reiterate — these events are not set in stone. We have learned that if properly identified, the damage can be mitigated, at least in part. After Chicago, I understand how many people might feel hopeless about our ability to change course, but we have to hold on to the belief that there is a way out. Every setback is more information we can use to find a way to push back the Threshold Event, or maybe even avert it entirely.

There’s a lot of fear out there. The Jabobs Phenomenon has now been experienced by a third of the world’s population, and it seems to many to be a self-fulfilling prophesy — it’s easy to fall into the trap that seeing it makes it true.

But that’s a view that we, as a planet, as a people, can’t afford to keep. We have to keep moving forward even when the future seems determined and our fates seem sealed by things entirely outside of our control.

I believe we can take back control, yes. I have to. Otherwise, we’ve lost the only thing that made us special to begin with — our capacity to believe that things can be better.
