Obviously seans don't honestly care about how many lies upon lies are keeping us from advancing in a relatively normal evolutionary or intelligent design kind of way. Apparently seans are very pro-satanic and ritualistic kind of folks that see nothing wrong with allowing such perverted debauchery to flourish, just like the ZNRs did with their puppet warlord, Hitler. ~ BG |

Perhaps it's the fact that, unless Earthbound humans figure out for themselves a way to control their population, a fast-paced improvement in our medical science would be almost immediately disastrous. Not in the least bit, because human births could become logically and rationally managed via intelligent design, as well as terrestrial resources salvaged and simply way better utilized, plus we still have that moon(Selene) just sitting there and causing us nothing but trouble, so we might as well pillage and plunder our moon for all she's worth, and otherwise manage a little shade for Earth by relocating its orbit, as interactively parked within Earth L1.

One nasty and well placed (9+) earthquake, a volcanic eruption (like greater Yellowstone blowing its lithosphere) or if need be WW3 would wipe a good portion of the human genetic slate clean. Most likely a combination of these plus a nasty asteroid encounter would terminate 90% of us (mostly the rich and powerful would survive), and it would be quite easy for seans to orchestrate any or all of this.

So this potential suicide rate must improve considerably before we can seriously entertain thoughts of officially unconcealing our presence! -- **** S e m b e r Freedom is for EVERYONE! Promote liberty for ALL! Perhaps adding a tranquilizer to the Earth's water supplies on the day of the big announcement would help. Double-A That is only a "bandaid", Double-A. What happens when the tranq wears off? The seans will not like anything that treats merely the symptom and not the cause of the fear. On a separate note, I have been asked by my trainer, Sember, and by Yubiwan, to post details about what is known about the missing crews. I shall do so in a different post. -- ***** Kiyo System Commander The seans are so concerned about suicides that might occur upon their officially revealing their presence, but seem totally unconcerned about all the sickness and dying that is going on because we lack their medical technology which could be given to us anytime at their whim. Double-A It's always a balance, Double-A. There are always trade-offs, you know that. It's easy to blame someone else for your lot, but what are you leaving out? Perhaps it's the fact that, unless Earthbound humans figure out for themselves a way to control their population, a fast-paced improvement in our medical science would be almost immediately disastrous. Ahh yes, but then there's the fact that seans could teach us ways to control our population. Bingo! But just like many things people receive "on a silver platter", they won't stick, they won't be effective. There are some things we must do for ourselves. Each of us receives our whole culture on a silver platter when we are born. The very fact that our medical technology has improved dramatically during the 19th and 20th centuries has only added to the perplexing population challenge, don't you agree? As things stand, yes, along with improved food technology keeping most of us overfed. But seans have the answers to these dilemmas. And you seem to be forgetting one more thing: *I am human -- rescued by the seans during the second world war -- and I look the same as I did in 1944.. Really? Same hair style even? The seans can show us methods to increase our life span that would stagger you in their simplicity! Now what would happen if they gave us those little gems of information *b e f o r e *we meet our population control challenge? -- ***** Kiyo System Commander It could be a package deal, delivered on a "silver platter"! Humans can adapt to change quickly. Remember the fall of communism? Double-A |
