About those alleged aliens
The U.S. is a lot smaller than we oversized people with our outsized self-importance think it is
I haven’t been closely following the “alien spacecraft and alien remains” narrative mainly because its purpose is so self-evident. From Neoliberal Feudalism’s April essay, “The Dissemination of Information in Technological Society: Part 1”:
[I]f the masses are not being led from panic to panic, keeping them in a heightened state of adrenaline and fear, then they might start questioning narratives and going off in unapproved directions. Thus, the establishment has the media push vetted long-term stories called “meta-narratives”, each crafted in conjunction with governmental and transnational agencies, lasting anywhere from multiple months to a year or longer, one after the other, to further their agendas.
The media stories about the U.S. Government having harbored alien spacecraft for decades were underway by June, and it wasn’t long before these were joined by media stories about the physical remains of the creatures who wandered to Earth in those spacecraft. Much chatter about the topic has even been entered into the Congressional Record. All spokespeople on the matter, as reported by serious thinkers with grave expressions, are Surprisingly Credible.
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that the media was ordered to start slinging this whimsy after softening the public’s mind with excessive drama about balloons circulating in the U.S. sky. Were these foreboding floaters Chinese, or….something else?
Here’s one question I haven’t heard anyone ask yet. These aliens somehow ended up in American airspace, and crashed into American soil. No other national governments are playing along. The U.S. accounts for 1.867 percent of the planet’s surface area. Before Alaska became a state in 1959, when vacationing, marauding, or trailblazing aliens apparently made Earth a more frequent destination, this figure was closer to 1.5 percent.
If the positions of these aliens’ (crash?) landings were random, why did all of them wind up in the territory of what is now the most dishonest government in the solar system?
I suppose that if one accepts the idea that aliens have actually visited Earth, then the idea of them all somehow landing in the U.S. is easily accommodated. Someone who has already won $600 million in the Powerball lottery would probably be unfazed by subsequent occasional wins at bingo at the church yonder way.
I wish the conceivers and drafters of this fantastical farrago were telling the truth, because any aliens smart enough to make their way here would have properly armed and irritated descendants presently on the way; their first order of business would be firing lasers (or the like) at the Pentagon and turning it into a mammoth crater strewn with the bodies of the worst specimens human DNA is capable of establishing blueprints for. Any misfires on this front might wind up taking out one or more of the next targets on the list anyway; these would be the White House and the U.S. Capitol. The New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve could be zapped in the same sortie. I would suggest eradicating the U.S. Department of State, too, but Pat Robertson was already calling for that at least as early as the 1980s.
Then these overzealous interplanetary vigilantes could decide whether to dispense of Moscow, Beijing, Tel Aviv, the Holy See, Riyadh, and Canberra that day or whether it seemed preferable to sleep on the matter and resume the blunt-force renovation of human civilization the next morning.
Sorry that took such a dark turn, but I’m pretty sure all these places are safe from extraterrestrial aggressions, micro and macro. It’s the otherworldly antics of the terrestrials in each of these places that are the problem.
