See the future? A dream, a fantasy for many; Mankind has always wanted to know what lies ahead! Is his future traced in advance and whatever he does would not change anything? Or does the future emerge as man acts and makes choices? The time we take to answer these two worrying questions emerging from an existential reflection of our deep self, the Simpsons, show us that it is quite possible to predict the future with incontestable exactitude.

The Simpsons - Origin

The American animated television series (The Simpsons in original version) was created by Matt Groening and broadcast on the American channel Fox on December 17, 1989.
The Simpsons typically illustrate the stereotypes of a middle-class family. The adventure reflects a form of satire of the American way of life. A family of five characters with yellow skin, including father, Homer, mother, Marge, little boy, Bart, his little sister, Lisa and the last, Maggie.
Since its inception, the series has garnered multiple awards including 26 Annie Awards, 24 Primetime Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. So much so that it was designated by Time magazine of 31 December 1999 as the best television series of the 20th century. She will eventually be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But beyond its worldwide success and also incredible, the series hides everything else, origin of its celebrity among its fans. We are talking about his many predictions. From the beginning, the Simpsons have at least 10 predictions that have proven to be accurate and become reality. The dollar bill, which illustrates the destruction of two American Wall Street towers, as in the 1999 film The Matrix, created by the Wachowski, which is clearly seen during a stage, The expiry date of the passport of Neo which is simply the 11/09/2001. The Simpsons are overflowing with such predictions so far. We see, we are currently living the fulfillment of one of his predictions, announced about 16 years ago; The victory of Donald Trump in the American presidential elections. Do writers enjoy a real gift of perceiving the future? Or is it rather an ability to follow and analyze the events of the world while anticipating them?

The 10 predictions of the Simpsons.

3- Citizen espionage by the NSA :

In an episode aired in 2007, the Simpsons are on the run. On a train, in the midst of a family discussion, Lisa proposes to speak less strongly because they may be tuned in by the American intelligence service.

8- The attack in Syria by the USA :

There is a widespread conspiracy theory in the Egyptian media that the United States premeditated the explosion of Syria. On what basis? On an episode of the Simpsons of course. In the episode released in 2001, Bart became a fighter pilot, bombing a country of the Middle East unspecified. On a Jeep where the soldiers of this country are located, a flag is seen which the Syrian opposition will adopt a decade later. It was an incredible thing when no one could have guessed that 10 years after the episode had been broadcast, there would be a Syrian opposition with the same flag colors.

9- The scandal of horse meat :

For many fans, it is obvious that the Simpsons have predicted horse meat on our plates before it even appeared in our reality. In an episode of the series released in 1994, Dorris, the lady in the canteen, unhesitatingly uses a barrel filled with horse meat to prepare the children's dinner. Almost 20 years later, a few countries in Europe are struck by the scandal. Spanghero replaces beef with horse meat. A scandal for consumers, informed well afterwards.

10- Election of Donald Trump :

It was 16 years ago, when Bill Clinton was still in power, well before the September 11 attacks in 2001, well before the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, long before the financial crisis, long before the smartphones And the digital revolution, the Simpsons broadcast an episode where Bart is a failure, a poor musician to his sister Lisa, at the height of his success succeeding President Trump in 2030 who left the country in a budgetary situation chaotic. In June 2015, what was the general surprise when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidential. A surprise all the more when this Wednesday, November 9, 2016, Mr. Trump became the 45th president of the United States.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fruits of chance? Let it be said, it does all the same much!
Opinions are divided. Several say the series predicts the future because there is necessarily a screenwriter who would have a gift to see the future and others are looking at the conspiracy theory which would involve planning everything and introducing some details in Popular series, in order to prepare minds to accept events when they arise.
