Except the 2012 plot is in no way related to actual historical events. Unless you mean to tell me Abstergo is real, there was a Fluoride scandal a few months back, and you're experiencing glitches and failures of electronic equipment due to solar flares lately.

This ending completely deviated from the series' original point of sticking to modified human history - because now we'll have some alternate sci-fi future connected with Juno being let loose on the world.
