Introduction
In a highly symbolic speech aboard the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln
on May 2, President George Bush declared that large scale military
hostilities in Iraq were over. Using the inherent symbolism of his historic
predecessor who used military force to bring liberty to America's slave
population, Bush was signaling that US military intervention had similarly
brought liberty to Iraq's oppressed population. Contrary to widespread
predictions of regional upheaval, the US had succeeded in its bold military
intervention against the former regime of Saddam Hussein.
Aside from the
continuing moral and political questions raised by US military intervention
in Iraq without broad global consensus, a key question is what relevance
such intervention has from the perspective of the presence of
extraterrestrial (ET) races on Earth? If there is a universal law of
‘reciprocity' governing the use of military force that parallels Isaac
Newton's ‘third law of motion' where all force has an equal and opposite
reaction, could ET intervention be more likely in human affairs now that US
has taken such action? Could intervention by ET races on
Earth occur for
similar reasons given to justify US intervention in Iraq? What would be the
implications for human sovereignty and independence were such intervention
to take place?
There are many challenges that global humanity must face in responding to
the possible intervention of ETs in human affairs if humanity is to maintain
its sovereignty and independence. Foremost among these is identifying the
difference between ET races which directly intervene in human affairs
without explicit authorization or permission from humans on an individual
and/or collective basis, and those races which adopt a non-interventionary
role when such permission is not forthcoming. While ascribing moral
categories solely on the interventionary policy of ET races is a not a
sufficient condition for understanding the various agenda of ETs, it does
serve as a necessary condition for helping distinguish between ET races who
have a long term goal of promoting human sovereignty and independence, and
those ET's whose goal is undermining these fundamental principles.
As a
general rule, ET races that directly intervene in human affairs, without
explicit permission to do so from individuals and governments, do not serve
humanity's best interests in terms of human sovereignty and independence.
Conversely, a second rule is that those races that only intervene in human
affairs when explicit permission has been given, behave in a way that is
consistent with humanity's best interest in terms of human sovereignty and
independence
Keeping the above general rules in mind, it is possible to now understand
the primary dangers that confront humanity in maintaining its sovereignty
and independence in responding to the intervention of technologically
advanced ET races. The first ‘danger' is the perception fostered by those
that believe that humanity's best hope in maintaining sovereignty and
independence is through a rapid technological revolution in the military
sector. The second ‘danger' is the belief that ET's that intervene during a
possible global environmental, economic and/or political disaster are the
saviors of humanity and play a role that can be explained in Christian
religious terminology as the ‘Second Coming'.
The crux of both of these
dangers is that global humanity on an individual and collective basis ‘gives
its sovereignty and independence' away to those that control military
technology used as the prime instrument of individual or collective defense;
or to ‘benevolent' ETs who intervene in time to save global humanity from
some impending global crisis engineered by corrupt or militaristic human/ET
groups.
The Danger Posed by a Military Response to ET Intervention
The first danger arises from the strength of the military industrial complex
in countries such as the US and the effect on the psychological disposition
of Americans to accept the use of military force in resolving political
problems.
President Dwight Eisenhower who presided during the formation of
many clandestine US government organizations that were set up to respond to
increasing incidents of ET intervention in human affairs, became alarmed at
the growing power of these organizations and the symbiotic relationship
between large US corporations and the military.
In his famous
departing
speech of 1961, he directly mentioned the power of the military industrial
complex and the need to be wary of the intertwined relationships between
corporations and the military in producing advanced military technology. The
underlying idea here is that such organizations foster a militarized
response to the ET presence and incidents of ET intervention through
producing advanced weaponry based on ‘captured' or ‘traded'
ET technology
that can respond to the ET presence in a way that preserves humanity's
sovereignty and independence.
Leading policy makers in the various organizations that support a military
response to ET intervention wish to avoid a repeat of the calamity that
befell the indigenous civilization of the America's which were destroyed by
the technologically more advanced, though numerically small, Spanish
invasion. Those supporting a military response to the ET presence generally
and ET intervention in particular, have in mind a policy similar to the
Meiji restoration of Japan where in a short few decades Japan responded to
the presence of more technologically advanced European nations by rapidly
industrializing its military, technological and political sectors to the
extent that it transformed itself from a weak feudal state characterized by
competing warlords to a centralized dynastic kingdom under the Meiji
Emperors.
The Meiji Restoration led to the most remarkable industrialization
effort ever witnessed and was so rapid and far reaching in scope that Japan
was in a few short decades able to defeat a major European power, Russia,
during the 1905 Russo-Japanese war. More stupendous was Japan's military
performance during the Second World War where it came very close to
defeating the US and its allied forces in the Pacific. What distinguished
the Meiji Restoration as an example of a less developed civilization
responding to the presence and intervention of a more ‘advanced'
civilization was the ability of the Japanese to quickly unify in response to
the threat posed by colonial Europe and the US, as opposed to the disunity
that characterized the indigenous kingdoms of the Americas that were easily
picked off one at a time by the cunning Spanish Conquistadores.
The military industrial complex and the clandestine organizations in the US
and Europe responding to the US presence clearly have the Japanese model in
mind as evidenced by the whistleblower testimonies of
Colonel Corso and
others who participated in clandestine reverse engineering programs not
disclosed to the general public and elected public officials. Clandestine
government organizations are going to great efforts to ‘modernize' their
weapon systems through trade, treaties and even military confrontation with
ET races in the hope that global humanity through its strongest nations will
be able to deal with the ET presence through a position of strength. At the
global political level, there are efforts to centralize the use of military
force through global multilateral institutions such as the UN (Iraq 1991) or
NATO (Kosovo 1999); or a multilateral action led the US with the support of
a ‘coalition of the willing' (Iraq 2003).
At first sight, a global policy based on the Meiji restoration is very
understandable and even praiseworthy in the means by which it sets out to
preserve humanity's sovereignty and independence by a rapid program of
military modernization and global political unity. There are nevertheless
dangers in following the Meiji model of transformation in responding to the interventionary activities of more technologically advanced
ET races. One is
the lesson provided by history itself where Japan was defeated in the Second
World War as a result of an overconfidence possessed by its still immature
political leaders who were captivated by the success of militarism in
transforming Japan. Militarists grew in power and asserted Japanese power in
a way that broke the tacit diplomatic boundaries essential for preserving
regional peace.
This is currently being evidenced in the US where recent
military successes in Afghanistan and Iraq have elevated the influence of
political leaders
who espouse a doctrine of military intervention as a means of resolving US
foreign policy problems that is not that dissimilar to Japanese militarism
early in the twentieth century. There is a likely hood that the clandestine
government organizations representing global humanity - still relatively
immature in dealing with interplanetary affairs between ET species - may
similarly overstep tacit boundaries that exist which prevent an overt and
large scale extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs.
The danger of clandestine government organizations taking global humanity
down a path of militarism in responding to the ET presence is very real
since non-disclosure of the ET presence to the general public and elected
political leaders means that only a select few are privy to knowledge of all
aspects of the ET presence and interventions, and only this privileged
minority participate in the policy making process. There is the testimony of
former participants in clandestine government activities such as
Preston
Nichols,
Stewart Swerdlow,
Al Bielak,
Peter Moon,
Stephen Schwartz, and
others that secret interplanetary wars are already being conducted by Earth
based clandestine organizations using advanced military technology.
This
suggests that the policy making process concerning how to respond to the
ET
intervention and the use of ET technology is dominated by those in the
military-intelligence sector of national governments who have a
predisposition toward the utility of a military-technological response. The
restricted policy making process that takes place in organizations embedded
in military and security organizations in the US such as the National
Security Council, different military branches and intelligence units in the
US military, CIA, primarily excludes seasoned diplomats from the Department
of State that would be more cautious in their optimism over the utility of
military technology in negotiating with and responding to advanced ET races.
In summary, the continued non-disclosure of the ET presence, and the focus
on an increasing militarized response to ET interventions, reflected in part
by increased militarism in international affairs as evidenced most recently
by US intervention in Iraq, constitutes a great danger to human sovereignty
and independence since it may lead to a kind of interplanetary war where
defeat would erase humanity's sovereignty and independence. As Japan might
testify in response to its own loss of sovereignty and independence after
rapid advances in military technology led to the growth of Japanese
militarism and a disastrous confrontation with the US, a militarized
response to a technologically advanced civilization carries many inherent
perils.
The Danger Posed by a Faked Second Coming
The second danger is the pervasive belief by hundreds of millions if not
billions of people around the planet that these are the ‘End Times'
where
there will be a ‘Second Coming' involving the return of a spiritually
advanced being such as Christ for Christians; Messiah for Jews,
Isa for
Muslims; Kalki for the Hindus; Maitreya for Buddhists, etc. Such a being
would presumably save humanity from an impending global catastrophe
engineered by corrupt individuals/institutions, or a disastrous military
conflict with hostile ET races, and usher in a golden age of peace and
harmony.
The belief in a ‘Second Coming' is so deeply embedded in the
collective psyche of humanity that it could be well described as an
archetype of the ‘collective unconscious'. It can be predicted that such an
archetype would be exploited by ET races wishing to remove humanity's
sovereignty and independence in a much more covert way than overt ET
intervention. This indeed would parallel the Spanish Conquest of the
Americas where conquistadores such as Hernando Cortes exploited the
religious belief system of the native Americans and persuaded them that the
Spaniards were the ‘returning gods'.
A number of controversial book authors such as Al Bielak, Preston Nichols,
Stewart Swerdlow, Peter Moon and others claim to have been part of a
clandestine military project dubbed the ‘Montauk Project'
which used
advanced technology such as genetic cloning, holographic projection and
time-travel. Such technology was said to have been given to clandestine
government organizations by various ET races. If such reports are accurate,
then it would be possible and even likely that the pervasive belief in a
‘Second Coming' could be exploited by ET groups that freely intervene in
human affairs and who typically enter into agreements with clandestine
government organizations.
Using time travel technology, such ET races could
use DNA samples from the ‘historic Jesus' or religious relics such as the
Shroud of Turin, to clone a hybrid ET/human being that could be passed off
as the returning Christ. Using
holographic projection around key areas of
the globe, such a figure could appear in the miraculous manner expected by
religious adherents. As the result of DNA testing and a host of miracles
manufactured either by ET holographic technology or by the
ET/human hybrid
himself, such a being and his supporters could persuade a sufficient number
of believers from the different religious traditions that he was the
returning
Christ/Messiah/Isa/Kalki/Maitreya.
It could be expected that such a being could bring about peace in perennial
conflicts such as Israel/Palestine, Kashmir, and elsewhere, by the force of
his charismatic personality, miraculous deeds, and overt support by ET
groups. If such a ‘Second Coming' were to happen, this new ‘Christ' would
gain enormous global authority. The religious authority of such a hybrid
being and the associated ET races supporting such a ‘returned Christ' would
pose a direct threat to the sovereignty and independence of global humanity.
Traditional religious institutions such as the Catholic Church
would receive
a huge boost in authority and relevance as they would predictably form a
close relationship with this returned ‘Christ' and the ET races supporting
him. There is evidence already that the Catholic Church is undergoing a
significant doctrinal change where senior clerics including the Pope himself
now support the ‘possible benevolence' of ET races and their abilities to
faithfully express the message of Christ. The final result would be a new
religious dispensation where humanity is indoctrinated with the authority of
a new global religion that integrates the ‘Second Coming' with overt
ET
intervention. The release to the general public of advanced ET technology
that resolves global environmental problems, and the co-opting of amenable
religious authorities would be powerful markers of the ‘new dispensation'.
The ‘opponents' of this new religious dispensation and the global authority
of an ET manufactured Christ/Messiah would be those that deny the authority
of such a being and the global institutions and processes that are created
in the wake of his authority and charisma. There would be many from
traditional religious belief systems that would deny such a new dispensation
as has been historically the pattern when widespread religious reform has
occurred. Historically, however, such opposition weakens as religious
adherents slowly convert to the new dispensation. The strongest opposition
to a staged Second Coming heralding a new religious dispensation would be
those in the ‘New Age' and ‘New Thought' movements who typically champion
more autonomous or sovereign individual decision making without appeal to
external religious authority.
Popular New Age channels/leaders such as
Lee
Carroll, Geoffrey Hope, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Jasmuheen, Barbara Marciniak
and leaders in the New Thought movements found in churches such as Unity,
Universal Unitarian, Christian Science, and others, all focus on the
sovereignty and independence of each individual as they are able to give
full expression to their own inner divinity and authority. Adherents of
these New Age and New Thought ideals are very dismissive of universal claims
of religious authority, and while a staged Second Coming may hold some
initial appeal with its connection to various ET races and the
historic
Jesus, the religious dimension associated with it would be eventually
opposed.
A growing religious/spiritual conflict between the believers in the
‘Returned Christ,' and ‘unbelievers' in the ‘New Age' and ‘New Thought'
movements and dissenting religious groups would therefore emerge. A wave of
political repression could be launched in democratic nations where adherents
in the New Dispensation confront and violate the rights of those opposed.
Adherents of New Age/New Thought would be either repressed or marginalized
ensuring the rapid spread of a new ET inspired global religion which places
at the pinnacle of global authority an ET hybrid claiming to be the
‘returned Christ' whose DNA would match the historical Jesus.
Conclusion: Preserving Human Sovereignty and Independence
Global humanity has a rapid learning curve ahead of it if it is to navigate
the challenges posed by ET intervention to human sovereignty and
independence. Thankfully, there are genuinely benevolent ET races
assisting
humanity in its evolution into a race of sovereign and independent beings
capable of stewardship of planet Earth and her rich resources. These
ET
races, however, follow a policy of non-intervention in human affairs which
distinguishes them from less spiritually evolved ET races who have other
priorities than the evolution of global humanity.
The key for global
humanity navigating these present and future dangers is to be alert to
belief systems that allow the possibility of interventionist ET's subverting
human sovereignty and independence. Put in its simplest terms, the
prescription for responding adequately to ET intervention in human affairs
is that individuals should not give their power away to others claiming to
hold the means to save humanity either through technological means or a
new
religious belief system proclaiming a new savior.
Each individual needs to develop in a fashion suitable to their own
temperament and religious sensibility, a set of practices that leads to a
reconnection to a part of themselves, their ‘higher self',
‘soul', ‘spirit', etc., which is the ultimate basis of all authority. Given the present focus
of much of global humanity in dealing with the challenging material
conditions that confront individuals in terms of shrinking labor markets,
erosion of state welfare, and threats posed by global terrorism, this will
be a great challenge to many who have little experience in reconnecting with
a part of themselves that operates outside of the realm of thought and
action.
Thankfully, many pioneering teachers have presented practices that
focus on sacred geometric structures and sounds that exist in the
‘bio-energy fields' of each individual which provides the means for them
making the connection to their ‘higher self'. The preservation of human
sovereignty and independence lies in recognizing the ultimate authority and
best protection against technologically advanced ET races is a strong and
healthy connection to one's ‘higher self'.
Placing faith in military technology as a response to ET intervention,
and/or a new religious authority/dispensation will play into the hands of
ET
races which desire to undermine human sovereignty and independence. ET
intervention in human affairs has been occurring for at least the last 50
years according to numerous testimonies from former government/military
officials in various clandestine organizations. There is evidence from
archeological, historical and religious sources that cycles from overt to
covert ET intervention have occurred for many thousands of years. What
distinguishes our modern era is that ET intervention has largely been covert
as a result of clandestine government suppression of the ET presence.
However, it is very likely that this will soon change in a dramatic fashion
either in the form of an overt conflict with ET's by militarized
clandestine
government organizations who unwittingly overstep tacit boundaries that
limit overt ET intervention, and/or an engineered ‘Second Coming'.
These
likely events require some forethought into how individuals and global
humanity can best respond to such events/announcements while preserving
human sovereignty and independence. While the idea of military defense
and/or a strong leader/savior appeals to many, a strong and healthy
connection to one's ‘higher self' is the narrow passage through which
individuals and global humanity can navigate the Scylla and
Charybdis of
impending ET intervention in human affairs.
