Despite the tendency of Hollywood films and sci-fi novels to depict malevolent encounters between evenly matched space adversaries, Shostak says the size of the universe and the rarity of life makes it extremely unlikely that two races of roughly equal intelligence will encounter one another in the cosmos. That said, reports of UFO sightings led some scholars to develop theories about this scenario. They asked: what would we do if we were aliens discovering us? [Science Fact or Fiction: ET Will Look Like Us]
According to Robert Freitas, author of several books outlining possible alien contact scenarios, in 1950 the U.S. military developed a procedure called “Seven Steps to Contact,” laying out the logical steps we would take upon discovering creatures with roughly human-level sentience. According to the steps, we would begin with remote surveillance and data gathering, and would eventually move on to covert visitations with the goal of gauging the performance characteristics of the aliens’ vehicles and weaponry.
If we judged our technological capabilities to be superior to those of the other race, we would attempt near approaches to the planet to determine whether the alien beings were hostile, and if so, by what means. If all went well, we would then make brief touchdowns in isolated areas, securing specimens of plants, animals, and of the intelligent beings themselves. In other words, this phase would involve non-harmful abductions similar to those reported by some Americans. (Interestingly, the “Seven Steps to Contact” plan predated the first reported alien abduction incident in 1957, suggesting the theory could have influenced such reports.) [Alien Abductions May Be Vivid Dreams, Study Finds]
Next, we would make our presence known, making low-level approaches where our craft and its operators could be seen, but not reached. We would try to be witnessed by the greatest possible number of inhabitants, and would demonstrate our existence and our nonhostile nature. Lastly, if all went well and there was no reason to think that contact would be disastrous for the two races involved, we would land and attempt to communicate face-to-alien-face.
Half a century since that military report was penned, we’d still follow much the same procedure. “Let’s say that a near-future mission to Europa reveals indisputable evidence of intelligent beings/civilization,” Haqq-Misra said. “Continued remote exploration would probably be the most likely progression, with attempts at remote communication with the subterranean intelligent beings included as part of the missions. Eventually humans would want to land and make contact (wearing astro-scuba suits?), but a ‘precautionary principle’ might delay human exploration until robotic exploration has confirmed that Europa’s inhabitants are safe. What if, as in the second scenario proposed by Haqq-Misra, we happened upon a race of aliens who were orders of magnitude smarter than us — beings capable of interstellar spaceflight who had established a base somewhere in our solar system? Just as ants can’t make sense of human behavior, it’s difficult or impossible for us to understand how this advanced race would react to us. “[The renowned astronomer] Carl Sagan figured any aliens that might be able to travel between the stars would be so advanced that they would be beyond all this business of aggression and war and so forth,” Shostak said. “But that may just be a projection of what he hopes humans would do eventually.”
Shostak tends to think differently. Aggression, he says, evolved as a trait among Earthlings because it helps us obtain and protect resources. Though aliens would probably have evolved under totally different conditions, pressure to secure finite resources would probably have molded their behavior, too. “I suspect resources would be finite anywhere in the universe.”
If Sagan is right, then the wise race we encountered would treat us with immense consideration and respect, while having the technology to ensure that we treat them similarly. If Shostak is right, and the incredibly advanced aliens we stumbled upon were also as aggressive as we are, we’d probably be toast.
Well, not toast exactly. In Haqq-Misra’s opinion, “A society capable of interstellar travel should have solved their development issues such that they do not need humans for food.” http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/2286-humans-discovered-aliens.html

they do not need humans for food. why?
I hear of some humans who consider bat-guano coffee to be a great delicacy. “need” is not the only driver of action
three and only three possibilities of outcome of contact are possible.
one) beneficial
two) neutral
three) hostile
anyone who says they know which one is more or less likely are deluded. only one of those are helpful to humans. don’t bet against the odds.
If space aliens do exist, and they probably do, they are obviously light years ahead of us in technology, weaponry, and intelligence. To suggest Earthlings could defeat an alien invasion is about all we can expect from humans; arrogant, over stated, over confident, and tragically flawed. Why do humans always seem to have an itching, hostile, unmet desire to destroy, kill, confront, and dominate?
These aliens are not part of the Greater Community and only seek to make us part of their collective. Is all about their survival and enslaving the freedom of others for resources and strategic planetary control.
Seth Shostak makes quite the assumption with the quote, “I suspect resources would be finite anywhere in the universe.” with it he asserts that aggression may be common to all intelligent life due to the protection of limited resources. Is Seth a Globalist suggesting all resources are finite? I’ve read energy is limitless through the ether, as Tesla proved. If we had limitless free energy, we could have limitless desalinated seawater, and limitless clean air… Why does Seth try to instill fear into the minds of the population when it is HIS organization that is attempting to contact this potentially agressive entities? Fear controls the masses. Fear over limited resources has fueled every war ever fought. Nice work Seth!!!
You can not assume that if people don’t go along with your therory they are delusional..Please..A little arrogant don’t you think? This is in response to the post of Tue. April 17th 2012 9:12
A little research will result in a time line much different than 1957, sumarians,hindu,egyptians,several native indian cultues,gnostics among others spoke of contact thousands of years ago,roswell is a footnote,not the beganing.
By the way,whatever happened to the good ole days,swamp gas,tempeture inversions,miss identifcations,hoaxes,just plain old didnt see what ya saw
We are remarkably arrogant to think we could do low-level passes over their planets, land and secure specimens, etc. We can’t even go to the Moon. Ever looked at the construction of the LEM? It’s not even airtight, and had Donkey Kong as its brain. Please! Get real Seth. Space aliens are fallen angels, that’s all. That’s why they apparently come all the way here every day of the week to look at us. There’s nothing to see apart from evil people (mostly) doing evil things. It’s not very inspirational, I’m afraid, but they keep coming. Why? Because we on Earth are at the literal centre of the universe. The earth is neither spinning around itself, nor around the sun. It is stationary. That will be a shock to most of you lunatics weaned on Star Wars and all the other nonsense you’ve been fed since you first crawled out of your high-chair. Around US is spun the meaning of creation. Satan and his angels exist. Those who go looking for him, find him. Next they are “abducted”; this results in possession, and a very unpleasant wake-up call; just ask anyone who has tried to contact them, the experience invariably makes them feel like they’ve been raped. They are evil and seek your downfall.
The Bible is the perfect and absolute word of God. If you don’t believe me, and you cannot, because you are spiritually dead, but anyway, go and read “The Other Bible Code” website, by Vernon Jenkins. There you will find that beneath the words lurks a mathematical three-dimensional construction which could only have been woven by YHVH himself. It’s a bit like a living body, the sign that it has been made by God is that the deeper you go, the more you find absolute and undeniable perfection; this is not the same with your i-pad or whatever gizmo you swear by, which looks increasingly tatty the deeper you go into it. The first verse of Genesis factorizes out into two large prime numbers, which are of sufficient size that one fits perfectly inside the other, protecting it. That is why we KNOW that the Word has not become corrupt over time. It is perfectly preserved, and has a perfect message for you. Which is: “For God so loved the world that He sent His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. Can’t get more direct than that. Trust Him, He will force any “aliens” coming into your bedroom to back off. They fear Him, He has absolute power over them. Trust Him for everything, and make sure you are with me under the new heavens on the New Earth. (Isaiah ch 66 v22 ).

UFOs are not all flown by true extraterrestrials, the majority of them are owned and operated by our advanced Repto Sapien cousins, who share the Earth with us as their ancestral home world. They are historically cited in about 80 places in the Bible, being described as a SERPENT THAT WALKS UPRIGHT ON TWO LEGS AND IS AS TALL AS A CAMEL (8 FEET TALL). There are statues and temple paintings of them in nearly every ancient society. This has nothing to do with “religious beliefs.” It is a proven historical and archaeological fact. That’s why I wrote a book showing all of the real world evidence.

Hey “HereAmI”..for how many more thousands of years do we need to hear that tribulation will start soon? Or that our savior is coming? You do know that he didn’t want to be worshipped right? That he exposed the church and the money changers, same folks who wrote your precious book. Doesn’t that raise questions and concerns? I’m not claiming to hold the truth but I know and have known how to spot deception when I see it..now if “he” exposed the church for charging to worship aka “tithes and offerings” which they got rich off of, using their wealth to dominate. What does it mean when “the church”, same church is one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet, doing the same exact thing they did before they were exposed?
And I can put just as much belief in a theory that our govt has secret technology, flying around in ufos to scare the public into thinking they’re fallen angels..how can you be so arrogant to think the earth is the center of the universe..hows that ancient propaganda taste? Cuz you swallow it like its food
100% they would eat us and are doing but can’t eat enough as there are billions born every year!
Think about it a cow goes moo to us so we eat it! lol
As a whole, we are not a very smart species. Yes, even the least educated of our kind can probably learn to tie a shoe but can they build a fire without instructions?
You see the problem.
Whether they are genuine aliens or angels/demons, the end result is the same; our species is in no place to try and challenge their presence or their will. Just reading the comments here and it’s easy to see why they don’t want open, direct contact as well.
Hi MFranklin, They have had open contact with humanity worldwide for thousands of years. They avoid open contact now because they know we are at a stage where we have figured out they are not gods. If they openly interacted now it would stampede the cattle which would be counterproductive. The following article was written by noted anthropologist professor C. Scott Littleton on the alien topic. My answer to his findings follows.

DIVINE REBELS, ALIEN DISSIDENTS!
By C. Scotty Littleton
I am not a ufologist. I’ve never investigated a UFO sighting, nor a crop
circle, cattle mutilation, or an abduction. Nor, to the best of my conscious
knowledge, am I an “experiencer.” Twice, when I was young and again a few
years ago, I’ve observed flying objects that didn’t fit any categories with
which I’m familiar.[1] But I’ve never had a significant “missing time” episode
or other indication that I’ve been a “guest” aboard an alien ship.
Yet for more decades than I care to remember, I’ve watched the serious UFO
literature–including works by investigators such as Jacques Valleé, Budd
Hopkins, John Mack, David Jacobs, Timothy Goode, Linda Moulton Howe, Jenny
Randles, Raymond Fowler, Stanton Friedman, Bruce Maccabee, the late Allen
Hynek, and Don Ecker of UFO Magazine , to mention a few–grow into an impressive
body of data and theory. It is a literature that can no longer be ignored by
responsible social scientists, including cultural anthropologists like
myself. Thus, I’ve decided to “come out of the closet,” as it were, and assert
my belief that the UFO phenomenon is real–despite the carefully orchestrated
attempts by our own and other governments to deny its existence, and the
skeptics and debunkers who do their best to make persons who take the
phenomenon seriously appear ridiculous.
The implications of the UFO phenomenon for anthropologists–or for anyone
who would make rational sense out of the human condition–are profound. If
Valleé, et al. are correct, humans have been the genetically exploited “lab
rats” of one or more extraterrestrial civilizations, whose technological
sophistication (evincing Sir Arthur C. Clarke’s assertion that “Any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”) has allowed them to
maintain a clandestine hegemony over this planet for at least the past 13,000
years.[2]
With apologies to the “British Raj,” which held hegemony over India from
the late seventeenth century to 1947, I’ve come to conceive of this
extraterrestrial presence as the “Alien Raj.” Yet that may be a grossly
oversimplified
picture of the nature of human-alien interaction, especially in ancient
times. The “Alien Raj” seems not to have been–and may still not
be–monolithic, any more than was the British Raj, even in its
nineteenth-century heyday.
Almost every ancient mythology includes at least one rebellious deity, one
who willfully violates the divine “rules.” For the most part, such figures
are what anthropologists call “tricksters,” that is, gods or heroes who gain
their ends by cleverness, stealth, and liberal applications of magic rather
than by sheer divine power. Tricksters are typically reprimanded and/or
severely punished for their actions, which, more often than not, involve efforts
to transmit elements of divine wisdom or “technology” to mortals.
This article focuses on three trickster deities: (1) The Old Testament
figure Lucifer, the “Light-Bearer,” who, in defiance of Yahweh, brought
self-awareness to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden; (2) the Greek deity
Prometheus, who rebelled against the authority of Zeus and gave fire to mankind;
and
(3) the ancient Mesoamerican god Quétzalcoatl, the “Feathered Serpent,” known
to the Maya as Kukulkan, who was forced into exile because of his efforts
on behalf of mankind.
I posit that these and other trickster deities (e.g. the Old Norse god
Loki, who built Valhalla but later turned against the supreme god Odin, and the
pan-Polynesian god Maui, for whom the island is named) are mythological
reflections of one or more extraterrestrial dissidents who rebelled against the
Alien Raj’s “Prime-Directive”-type policy of non- interference in human
affairs–except when it suits the aliens’ immediate agenda–and were punished
for their actions by the Raj.
* Lucifer
The best-known, albeit most misunderstood, of my three examples is Lucifer,
the “Fallen Angel” who rebelled against the divine authority of Yahweh and
was exiled from Heaven. Soon thereafter, disguised as a serpent, he tricked
Adam and Eve into becoming fully sentient, that is, over and above an
immediate awareness of their sexual natures. This violated God’s policy of “non-
interference” in the newly-created humans’ affairs, and Lucifer remained an
outcast as far as the supreme–and eventually monotheistic–Hebrew deity was
concerned.
I suspect that in this story’s earliest version, Lucifer, like Prometheus,
also gave Adam and Eve the secret of fire-making, as is suggested by his
name. Note, although they were eventually conflated, Lucifer should be
distinguished from Satan, who entered the Hebrew tradition much later and is
derived
from the ancient Zoroastrian entity Angra Mainyu, the “Lord of Darkness,”
who was believed to be in permanent conflict with Ahura Mazda, the “Lord of
Light and Goodness.” (This latter conflict may also reflect the alien
presence, more specifically a conflict between two or more ET species who, some
6,000-7,000 year ago, seem to have fought what amounted to a colonial war for
possession of Earth.[3])
In the fully developed Hebrew religious tradition, the sexual aspect of
Lucifer’s “gift,” together with the defiance of divine authority, assumed a
disproportionate importance, and thus, unlike Prometheus, the Hebrew
“Light-Bearer” remained a negative figure, an exile deserving his fate. Thus,
ironically, the ancient Hebrews came to interpret the mythology surrounding this
pro-human figure in much the same way the Alien Raj regarded the behavior of
the dissident who inspired it: a clear violation of the rules that could not
go unpunished.
* Prometheus
A member of the Titans (the elder dieties in ancient Greek tradition),
Prometheus defected and sided with the younger Olympian gods, headed by Zeus.
(Again, we have the theme of an ancient conflict that probably has alien
overtones.) But after the Olympians defeated the Titans and banished their
leader
(Zeus’s father Kronos) to subterranean Tartaros, Prometheus (whose name
means “Forethought”) grew uneasy with Zeus’s intentions toward the
newly-created humans. Zeus, the chief Olympian, forbade Prometheus from carrying
fire
from Heaven and teaching mortals how to use it. Prometheus defied his
sovereign and did so anyway. As a result, humans became more than mere dumb
animals,
just as Lucifer’s “gift” permitted Adam and Eve to emulate their creator,
at least to a degree.
Enraged, Zeus chained the rebellious god to a mountain top, where an eagle
pecked his liver. A colleague, Elizabeth Barber, suggests that this is a
metaphor for a volcanic eruption in which the eagle’s black wings are the
spreading plume of smoke and the god’s blood is the red-hot lava flowing down
the
mountain side. Her interpretation may also be correct, as most mythology is
multi-layered; once it was clear that the rebellious gift-giver from the
sky was punished, human imagination took over, and the symbolic association of
Prometheus’s torment with a particularly devastating volcanic eruption took
shape.
In time, Zeus’s rage abated, and Prometheus came to occupy a heroic
position in ancient Greek religion as humanity’s chief divine benefactor. This
is
in stark contrast to the Lucifer myth, nevertheless, the tales are strikingly
similar. Indeed, together with R. J. Werblowksi and several other scholars,
I suspect there is a historical connection between these two figures, and
that they reflect a common Near Eastern account of a rebellious,
“light-bearing” pro-human deity who descended from the sky bearing
knowledge–technological and otherwise–and was punished and/ or exiled by his
“divine”–that is,
alien–superiors for his actions on behalf of humanity.
* Quétzalcoatl
My third example of a “pro-human” deity that seems to derive from a
dissident alien prototype is the Mesoamerican “feathered-serpent” god
Quétzalcoatl,
called Kukulkan by the Maya, who is described as a culture- bearer. A
relatively benign deity, at least by the bloody standards of Mesoamerican
mythology, Quétzalcoatl, like Lucifer and Prometheus, came to earth to teach his
human devotees all manner of useful arts and wisdom.[4] Like the other two
divine rebels, by doing so, he angered his fellow gods and was forced into
exile, although vowing to return at some future time–a motif implicit in the
other two mythologies (Prometheus returned after Zeus pardoned him, and
Lucifer’s eagerness to return, albeit negatively valued, permeates the
Judeo-Christian tradition).
Two elements of the Quétzalcoatl mythology are relevant. First, his
“feathered-serpent” image. Several UFO abductees, including Nebraska Highway
Patrolman Herbert Schirmer and Betty Andreessen-Luca, have reported seeing
winged
serpents emblazoned on the abductors’ uniforms. Although this element is
absent in the Lucifer and Prometheus mythology, Lucifer’s reptilian alter ego
in the Garden of Eden is noteworthy, and the winged-serpent figure does exist
in ancient Greek tradition in the image of the Caduceus (although it’s
associated with Asclepias, god of medicine, rather than with Prometheus).
Nevertheless, I suspect the image of a winged or feathered serpent is an
important and deep-rooted alien symbol, one that may reflect a very ancient
extraterrestrial totemic identification that predates the Alien Raj. Thus, one
may expect both dissidents, like the prototype of Quétzalcoatl, and the
more “establishment” type aliens who abducted Schirmer and Andreasson-Luca, to
display it.
The second relevant element in the Quétzalcoatl mythology is the idea that
he is fair-skinned. This was one reason Moctezuma initially accepted
Hernando Cortes as Quétzalcoatl redux.[5] (Among the alien physical types
reported
by abductees are the so-called “Nordics”: blond, blue-eyed humanoids who
sometimes appear in charge.[6] ) Although Cortes and his fellow Spaniards
didn’t entirely match this human type, the dissident alien prototype of
Quétzalcoatl could have been a Nordic, and the fact that the Europeans were
generally
fairer than Mexicans may have led Moctezuma and his people to believe that
the god had returned. Of course, they soon realized that Cortes and his
rapacious comrades were far from divine, but by then it was too late; the
Conquest was a fait accompli.
This may be a lesson for us humans, especially for those “New-Agers” who
have seen fit to deify our alien colonial masters.
* Rebel God and Alien Prototype(s)
We have a pattern: A divine being (Lucifer, Prometheus, Quétzalcoatl, and
other trickster figures) defies his superiors in the pantheon (Yahweh, Zeus,
Huitzilopochitli) and attempts to assist humans. After transmitting some
divine lore (self-awareness, the secret of fire-making, writing, etc.) he is
punished by his superiors, either physically or by exile. It seems extremely
probably that this widespread theme reflects an actual event (or series of
events) of some 5,000-odd years ago, one that involved an abortive rebellion
against the non-interference policy of the Alien Raj.
Do alien dissidents still exist? One can only wonder, although some
abductees/contactees do report being given information that has proven useful.
My
friend Jack Sarfatti, a post-quantum physicist, asserts that he received an
alien “phone call” in 1953 which predicted that he’d make an important
breakthrough in 1973. And it happened. Could this phone call have been made by
an
heir to Prometheus or Quétzalcoatl?
If a dissident movement persists within the Alien Raj, we must contact it
and obtain some of that magical technology, and the science behind it. It
would appear to be the only realistic way to consider overthrowing the Raj’s
oppressive hegemony. Only when we discard the notion that our extraterrestrial
“visitors,” as Whitley Strieber has dubbed them, exist on some higher
“spiritual plane” than ourselves can we make rational sense of a phenomenon that
has such a profound, albeit clandestine, impact on our existence.
As yet, no hard, incontrovertible evidence exists that my three divine
“suspects” were mythological reflexes of ancient alien dissidents. But I submit
that the “soft” evidence supporting both the presence of an Alien Raj, and
my above hypothesis, is persuasive enough to warrant close collaboration
between anthropologists specializing in comparative mythology and folklore, and
serious students of the UFO phenomenon.
We anthropologists must overcome the “they shouldn’t exist, therefore they
don’t exist”skeptical mindset frequently encountered in academia, and
systematically examine UFO abductee accounts and their congruence with mythology
and folklore.
* Footnotes …
1. Circa 1936 or 1937, when I was three or four years old, I watched what I
later came to think of as a “flying French horn”–this was at least a
decade before the phrase “flying saucer” entered the lexicon–drift slowly
across
my nursery window after waking up from an afternoon nap. A half-century
later, in March of 1990, while vacationing at the southern tip of Baja
California, I woke up at 3:00 a.m. one morning and watched a bright point of
light
perform a variety of maneuvers over the ocean, including 90-degree turns,
that no aircraft I’m aware of can perform. After about three minutes, just as I
was about to wake up my wife, the object simply winked out.
2. Exactly how long the aliens have been here is still an open question.
The appearance of lenticular, or discoid images on cave walls in Southern
France and elsewhere in the late Upper Paleolithic (ca. 13,000 years ago), lends
credence to this date, but their arrival could have been earlier–perhaps
as far back as 25,000 years ago if some ambiguous African petroglyphs are
depictions of alien beings. Some investigators assert aliens have been here for
hundreds of thousands of years, and were responsible for hominid evolution,
or at least that of anatomically modern Homo sapiens. However, other
researchers, such as David Jacobs (personal communication), assert that the
alien
presence hardly dates back more than a century.
3. Except perhaps to say that Charles Fort’s eighty-odd-year-old
observation “That once upon a time, this earth was No-Man’s land, that other
worlds
explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession…”
now appears remarkably prescient!
4. There may be a purely historical dimension to some of the mythology
surrounding the “Feathered-Serpent.” We know that a brilliant Toltec prince
named Topilzin Quétzalcoatl, who reigned at Tula (ca. A.D. 850-900) and is
credited with introducing a variety of useful arts and knowledge, was removed
from power by a jealous faction in the ruling dynasty and forced into exile.
5. Additionally, by sheer chance, the year in which the Conquistadores
arrived, 1519, marked the end of a 52-year Aztec calendric cycle, at which time
miraculous events were supposed to happen, including the return of figures
like Quétzalcoatl.
6. My own view here coincides with that of David Jacobs, who suspects that
the Nordics are more probably what he calls “late-stage” human-alien
hybrids, and thus not the dominant alien species. Nevertheless, they do seem
fully
integrated into the Alien Raj, at least culturally, and it’s not impossible
to suggest that one or more of them became disenchanted with “establishment”
policy re the “natives” and rebelled against the Raj.

=============================================
I answered Professor Littleton on this subject before in the following
Email exchange.
Art Greenfield
Note to moderator, If the photos don’t come through here, Email me and
I will resend this.
Hi Art,
First of all, I?m thoroughly familiar with the full text from which I
took Charles Fort?s ?I think we?re property?? It?s one of the
epigraphs in my novel (the other is ?Clarke?s Law?). And yes, I agree
with Fort that we?ve been ?fought over? in the past, just as the
British and French fought over control of India in the 18th century.
Indeed, there?s an abundance of mythological (and some archaeological)
evidence?the Titanomachy in Greek mythology, the war between Odin, et
al., and the Frost Giants in Scandinavian myth, and the conflict
between Lucifer and Yahweh in the Old Testament, to mention but a few
examples?that two distinct alien societies fought a devastating
?colonial war? for hegemony over this planet some seven or eight
thousand years ago, and that there was almost certainly a great deal
of ?collateral damage.? One set of combatants could well have been the
Reptoids; the other probably the Grays. I strongly suspect that this
war ended in something of a stalemate, although it?s also possible
that the Reptoids beat the Grays and thus became the dominant alien
species, at least on this planet.
But?and this is a very big ?but??I see no clear evidence that either
the Reptoids or the Grays have used Earth as a source of food. Nor is
there clear evidence that the ?Alien Raj,? as I call it, has ever
allied itself with any specific human community. To be sure, they?ve
exploited a variety of planetary resources, including water and
electric power, and human DNA has been harvested systematically, both
to produce hybrids and for reasons that are not yet clear, for
millennia. Moreover, on several occasions since 1950, representatives
of the ?Alien Raj? appear to have contacted the leaders of the U.S.
and other technologically advanced nations, and agreements seem to
have between worked where by, in exchange for some high-tech
?trinkets,? they received carte blanche to abduct human ?subjects,?
mutilate animals, etc. But this is hardly an alliance. Rather, it?s
more analogous to the Dutch ?buying? Manhattan Island.
I sincerely doubt whether the aliens, of whatever variety, are out to
harm us intentionally, any more than ethical human researchers
intentionally harm their lab animals. Sure, on occasion some creatures
must be sacrificed if a research project is to be successful; the same
probably holds for the ?Alien Raj.? In short, IMHO, they?re neither
?angels,? who are here to help us achieve a higher level of
?spirituality??a word I detest?nor ?demons,? which regularly eat our
flesh. Rather, their behavior seems more akin to that of a consortium
of human naturalists and enlightened entrepreneurs, who are managing a
wilderness area. They periodically band ?subject? animals so as to
trace their migration routes, and, at the same time, carefully exploit
the region?s resources in such a way as to cause minimal damage to the
local flora and fauna. Of course, not all such persons are
enlightened, as Bush?s callous attitude toward the environment
abundantly demonstrates, and I?m sure there are some Bush-like aliens
who couldn?t care less about us and out habitats. But the ?Raj?s?
basic policy for the last ten millennia or so seems to have been
fairly benign, all things considered.
Of course, I don?t like being a ?colonial subject,? any more than
Gandhi, et al. like being subjects of the British Raj. And I wish we
could figure out an effective way to throw off the alien yoke. But at
the same time I really don?t thing they?ve been eating us, making
alliances with counties like North Korea, or subliminally
?controlling? the left in the country, whose antagonism to Bush and
his insane war is extremely well founded.
Cheers,
Scotty
C. SCOTT LITTLETON, Ph.D.
Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus
Hi Scotty,
I find it rather amusing that you used one of Charles Fort’s quotes,
but overlooked his quotes that have a bearing on the subject at hand.
There is an interesting premise written by Charles Fort in 1931. Fort
was one of the first ufologists and a paranormal investigator
extraordinaire and wrote extensively on the subject in the 1920s and 30s:
“I think we are property. I should say we belong to something; that
once upon a time this Earth was no-man’s land, that other worlds
explored and colonized here and fought among themselves for
possession, but now it’s owned by something; that something owns this
Earth–all others warned off.”
–Charles Hoy Fort in 1931
Another troubling statement of Charles Fort: “I believe we are fished
for. It may be we’re highly esteemed by super-epicures somewhere.”
Epicure-a person who has cultivated tastes, as in food or wine; a
connoisseur. The Reptoids living amongst the Maya had a taste for
fresh human hearts. We need to take action to insure they will no
longer come here for a hearty meal.
Observe the Reptoid God eating human hearts. You will notice he has
three-toed Raptor feet, just like the footprints from the Reptoid
wearing the invisibility/zoom suit encountered at the Skinwalker
Ranch. Observe the fashionable head gear. The Mayan artists have
faithfully reproduced a long range antenna array. That system beats
cell phones all to hell. They just need a craft parked in hover mode
above to keep in touch with each other.
No, I am not saying we copied their antennae.
You being an anthropology prof, I thought you were supposed to know
“where all the skeletons were buried,” culturally and mythologically
speaking. It’s even in your job description:
Scott is a cultural anthropologist who teaches courses in comparative
mythology and folklore, the anthropology of religion, cognitive
anthropology, and Japanese culture. He has published extensively on
Indo-European mythology and the origin and distribution of the
Arthurian and Holy Grail legends, and has done ethnographic field work
in a Tokyo neighborhood, with emphasis on the local Shinto shrine
festival.
Now I know they had the same “dragons” in the Orient, even though in
the modern world they are considered to be quaint myths. Well, the
myths have come back and bit us in the ass. Myths don’t leave fresh
Raptor footprints at the Skinwalker ranch..
I must agree with you that previously, our Repto Sapien cousins did
have a Raj-like system that subjugated all major Earth cultures. Their
images in the form of statues and temple paintings, etc., are found in
virtually every major ancient Earth culture.
It was not like the British-Raj.
They were not practicing colonialism in a quest for minerals,
materials, cheap labor, or financial tribute. The only raw material
they needed and wanted from Earth was raw meat. Carnivorous Reptoids,
the food chain, oh my. I think it is very amusing that you think I am
a right-winger because I point out the perfidy of the useful idiots
who just happen to be leftists, communists, nazis, and worse. After I
realized how the Reptoids used political movements to start wars as a
harvesting tool, I became apolitical, and am in fact working on
designing a private business corporate-type organization that would
replace all political parties and movements, be run as a profitable
entity that paid its own way, and actually paid all citizens dividends
while it carried out all governmental functions. No more taxes. No
more expensive nonproductive bureaucracy. Would you like that? No more
bitter elections. No more left or right. The Reptoids couldn’t divide
us using politics or state religions to cause wars for meat anymore.
No more “cannon fodder = Reptoid fodder.” You mentioned “stupid war.”
All wars are stupid. War, what is it good for? Is it evil or not? Why
do the same groups like communists and Muslim Jihadists keep starting
wars? Take the communists, please. LOL The communists have been the
“Useful Idiot” hand puppets of the Repto Sapiens since 1917 and the
Jihadists since Mohammed. Whether the Repto Sapien’s entire food
gathering operation is evil or not is another matter. Instigating wars
amongst our people so the Reps can retrieve dead meat is analogous to
our ancestors stampeding buffalo herds over a cliff so that they could
gather meat.
Logistically, it’s the easiest method to satisfy demand that the
Reptoids can use here.
Logistics:1 : the aspect of military science dealing with the
procurement,maintenance, and transportation of military matériel,
facilities, and personnel.
2 : the handling of the details of an operation.
Otherwise, they would have to personally take on the
logistics of our own cattle and meat-packing industry. They would have
to breed, raise, feed, transport, and slaughter “cattle” (us) using
their own personnel and operating their own farms,
transportation system, and meat-packing plants. That industry is very
labor intensive. Ask a cowboy or meat cutter. It is hard dirty work. I
know. I worked as a meat cutter for two years. The Reps just found a
way to get us to do all the dirty work and slaughter ourselves for them.
All the Reps have to do is pick up dead bodies from battlefields.
Our murdering each other in war for no good reason is evil. The Repto
Sapiens causing it to happen, technically, is not evil because
they are doing it for food gathering purposes, just like we slaughter
our own cattle. It is the equivalent of us getting cows to slaughetr
each other so that all we have to do is go pick up the meat that we
will be using for food. The food chain is not evil. The way the Reps
do it to us is kind of unfair to us. We are capable of raising
sufficient cattle to meet the Reps periodic food needs every 50 years
when their migration fleet stops by. That is what I am working for. WE
raise food for them, and trade it to them in exchange for trade goods,
technology, knowledge, etc, that we can use. However, they are
hardheaded and set in their ways so we will need to negotiate from a
position of military strength on a parity with them. They are not
stupid and understand the true purpose of war.

Hi Anon, That Eisenhower story was traced back to someone with no credibility. The aliens don’t work that way. If they wanted to influence Eisenhower they would have done it retrocausally by jumping back in time like they did with other key people they wanted to control.
thanks for comments
wtf… what a word wall antigone…
Well…..I say screw the Bat Guana and the Coffee we get here on earth, make the Space Amazons squirt and temble…..we’ll own their space butts in no time flat and we’ll have them doing the dishes in no time flat!!!!!!!
