ARE EIGHT of the present-day horrors that endanger us all. What if
they've been weaponized to "cleanse" the planet for conquest by some
extraterrestrial species?
Covid-19 – a lethal virus possibly engineered for biological warfare. Regardless of the pandemic's origin, the fact it mutates too rapidly to be controlled by immunization makes “herd immunity” a clever euphemism for deliberately inflicted genocide. Statistically, most victims are members of the working class, aka the 99.9 Percent. Pivotal question: who (or what) is served by the resultant extermination of millions of humans?
Climate change – a modern apocalypse inflicted on our species by patriarchal sociopathy and now deliberately, continuously worsened, allegedly by political paralysis imposed by capitalist greed and plutocratic bribery, but in terrifying truth by our masters’ definitively ecogenocidal choices. Pivotal questions: why are the owners of this planet destroying its ability to support life as we know it? Who (or what) benefits from Earth’s reduction to lifeless twinship with forever-barren Mars?
Abandonment of infrastructure – a modern crisis that seems to have begun in the USian Empire but has since metastasized throughout the globe. Typically dismissed as the unavoidable consequence of “neoliberal austerity,” it is the cause of soaring fatalities due to train wrecks, structural collapses and other such disasters. Pivotal question: why are the world’s governments – the executive agencies that serve the de facto owners of these properties (i.e., the ruling class) – abandoning their investments? Why are factories abandoned and left to rot when many such structures could be modified to ameliorate the genocidal housing shortage?.
Unprecedented escalation of warmongering – the risk of our species’ extinction by chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) warfare is at an all-time high; indeed, its terrifying magnitude may be taken as the ultimate declaration the global ruling class now considers itself well-enough bunkered to survive whatever ecogenocidal horrors it inflicts on the rest of us. Pivotal questions: why is this happening now? Apart from the smirkingly bunkered aristocracy, who (or what) benefits from such an ecogenocidal event?
Replacement of humans with robots and artificial intelligence – the skyrocketing replacement of workers with machines is creating an ever-expanding “surplus” of unemployed workers who have no real possibility of ever again finding living-wage jobs. Pivotal question: why do our masters so despise humans they are literally sentencing millions of us to death by poverty, disease, homelessness and starvation? How do the aristocrats benefit if there are no (enslaved) humans to serve them? Is replacement of humans with robots AI's true purpose? Is that also the ultimate purpose behind the computer and its technological descendants?
De-educating the working class – aka maliciously “ignorancing” the citizenry. Astronomer Carl Sagan defines the problem, and Psychiatrist Niall McLaren analyzes its deliberately toxic economics. Pivotal questions: why do our masters rob us of the intellectual tools we need to thrive as humans? What do they gain from such atrocities?
Destruction of social services – aka “austerity,” in truth slow-motion genocide targeting women and the neediest members of the 99.9 Percent. Pivotal questions: who (or what) benefits from this policy? How is genocide on such scale beneficial to our masters?
Prohibition (or destruction) of health care as a human right – another process begun by USian malevolence – in this instance by its relentless insistence health care remain a privilege of wealth – but now, disguised as “austerity,” metastasizing rapidly throughout Europe and the rest of the world. (The foregoing data is somewhat dated, though the deadly trends obviously continue both in the U.S. and Europe.) Pivotal question: who (or what) benefits from this growing tsunami of sickness and death?
Ultimate question: what do all these atrocities tell us? What singular purpose does the ruling-class-induced atrocity of global warming -- that is, ecogenocidal climate change -- have in common with the ecogenocidal atrocities of ruling-class-induced austerity? What terrible truth does that purpose suggest?
Note that universal education and health care are investments in our species’ future, and that their methodical reduction -- like the abandonment of infrastructure -- is a message from our masters they believe we no longer have a future worthy of investment.
What we see in the above are eight aspects of a total war against our species and against our Mother Earth’s ability to support human life. It is a truth too bewildering and terrifyingly painful for most of us to acknowledge. The cunning, deliberately sneaky, slow-motion pace of our subjugation guaranteed its plausible deniable until the ChristoNazis boastfully declared it our national purpose. I wonder -- might Mars have been similarly destroyed?

I SHOULD PREFACE what follows by stressing I have no prior history as a devotee of the unidentified-flying-object cult. Moreover I remain profoundly antagonistic to the VonDanikenoid notion all of our species’ ancient achievements were fostered by extraterrestrial visitations, which I regard as an especially devious means of vilifying the matrifocal, probably matriarchal potlach-communism that characterized our collective history until the decidedly curious, unquestionably violent imposition of patriarchy some six-or-seven-thousand years ago. Though I have heard many credible UFO stories, especially from fellow veterans and from cops during my years in the working press, I always ranked them among the many seemingly inexplicable anomalies of modern life, and never until now felt any compulsion to write about UFOs or even give them much more than momentary thought.
Also there’s the fact that in all the time outdoors (often in genuine wilderness and sometimes days or weeks at sea) that characterized the best of my 86 years, I myself have witnessed only one genuinely UFO-ish phenomenon. This was in 1959, as best I recall in May or June, just past sunset while sitting outside with friends quietly chatting as we routinely awaited the scattered pinpoints of gracefully floating green and amber light that are the opening movements of suburban Knoxville’s breathtakingly exquisite seasonal choreography of fireflies. Instead there was suddenly a bright orange fireball maybe a hand-span above the north-northeast horizon; it was astonishingly big, about a quarter the size of the full moon at its smallest mid-heaven zenith; it glided eastward for maybe 10 degrees almost parallel to the surface of the earth, wobbled violently, showered sparks, descended in a shallow curve, briefly ascended, again wobbled and spewed sparks, then plunged out-of-sight behind the silhouetted peaks of the Great Smokies. It left us startled and muttering exclamations. I immediately telephoned a friend, WKGN News Director Tom Combs, and reported what we had seen. He said he’d already received a half-dozen calls about it. He told me the next day it had been witnessed by at least a hundred persons; that because of its erratic flight, some had feared it was a crashing airplane. All a University of Tennessee astronomer would tell Combs – note the wording – is “we can say it was a meteorite,” and like so many other incidents of its kind, it was soon consigned to official oblivion. But it stuck in my mind because even then I had sufficient background in astronomy to know meteorites do not momentarily gain altitude in their descent from outer space.
Now, given the combination of newly acknowledged UFO incidents with the undeniably apocalyptic perpetuation of the eight atrocities I described above, I am compelled to suspect it is at least possible we’ve already been conquered by interstellar predators – and that the global ruling class, capitalist and communist alike, is merely functioning as the invaders’ own obscenely recompensed SS-Totenkopfverbände, its present task the reduction of our world to a planet-sized Auschwitz.
Indeed, per Occam’s Razor, this is the only hypothesis that explains all of today’s afflictions – most especially the self-imposed pseudo-paralysis by which the global ruling class, capitalist and communist alike, relentlessly attempts to excuse its ever-more-apocalyptic refusal to reduce the causative abuses, much less its refusal to ameliorate their disastrous results. Mind you, I’m not saying extraterrestrial conquest is the final, definitive truth of our species’ increasingly hopeless present-day circumstances. But the unprecedented solidarity of malevolent cunning the global ruling class exhibits in the success of its universal promotion of the originally USian ethos of self-obsessed moral imbecility and in the veritable omnipotence demonstrated by its diabolical skill at co-optation and/or suppression of any and all forms of organized humanitarianism most assuredly suggest an equal capability for beneficence -- the glaring absence of which is therefore both infinitely damning and all the more suggestive of purposeful choice.
There is also the fact the present-day plague of atrocities is entirely the function of patriarchy and is therefore arguably the final revelation of its unspoken purpose. Note too how the imposition of patriarchy is biblically attributed to talking snakes; allegedly "divine" apparitions cloaked in smoke and fire; flaming wheels in the sky; loquacious brush-fires; and let us not forget the decisive message of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Might that alleged meteor have been an extraterrestrial thermonuclear weapon instead? Note too the how the destruction of Tall el-Hammam seems to share an approximate date with the volcanic debacle that brought about the slower death of the genuinely global Minoan trading commonwealth, which metallurgical analysis suggests mined and shipped 500,000 tons of copper (five-hundred-thousand tons, not a typo) from what we know as Isle Royal in Lake Superior. (See also this, newly posted on YouTube.)
Influenced as I am by Marija Gimbutas, Barbara Mor and Robert Graves, and as I have said many times for many years, I cannot overlook how patriarchal dynamics are a macrocosm of smallpox-contaminated blankets; the latter were the biological weapons of a holocaust; the former is a psychological-warfare weapon ever-more-obviously purposed for our Mother Earth's destruction. With its misogynistic war against our Mother Earth, against all femaleness and implicitly against all Earthly life, patriarchy is increasingly recognized as a death cult. Dialectic-materialist efforts to define patriarchy as a logical outgrowth of the agricultural revolution not withstanding, it is not unthinkable to suppose it a long-term interstellar expression of the same strategic scheming evident in smallpox-infected blankets and equally manifest in neoliberal "austerity." .
At the very least, this body of evidence that indicates the possibility we're being terminally victimized by extraterrestrial conquerors should be given serious consideration and thorough investigation.
Investigated or not, the likelihood we are already the powerless subjects of some conquering alien species becomes more obvious when we examine the undeniably anti-human, sometimes undeniably genocidal or ecogenocidal consequences of the afflictions in question. Though it is clear there is no longer any rational hope we might yet save ourselves, at least we would then be able to correctly identify our executioners and thus yet retain some minimal authority over the courses --of our individual lives.

IN THIS CONTEXT, let us now consider the possibility the burgeoning official acknowledgment of unknown aerial and oceanic phenomenon is the precursor to admission we are a conquered species. Note how we are being methodically robbed of all our former freedoms -- and more importantly of even any expectation of freedom --literally everywhere on the planet. It is thus at least arguable our minds are being conditioned for enslavement. Is it then mere coincidence that, after denying the reality of UFOs and their underwater counterparts for at least 80 years -- often ridiculing and even slandering as mentally ill anyone who dared admit encountering UFOs -- the world’s governments are now finally acknowledging such things are real? Or that the propaganda apparatus which serves the global ruling class now releases documentaries that claim humans are routinely kidnapped and used as lab rats by extraterrestrials?
Typical of the aliens-as-conquerors documentaries is “Alien Endgame,” an hour and 25-minute film available on Max that claims a “massive military cover-up” of the fact “our very existence is at risk.” It includes testimony about incidents in which UFOS allegedly rendered nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) un-launchable; it notes that UFOs operate with speed and maneuverability far beyond human capabilities, that they can become invisible and are sometimes undetectable by radar. The film also describes naval encounters with unidentified submerged objects that demonstrate the same seemingly inexplicable characteristics. “If the aliens decide to attack,” the film concludes, “we don’t stand a chance.”
Significantly, the aliens’ oberführers – the terrifying medical-experiment sadism associated with their kidnappings prompts me to describe them with the terminology of nazism – are often said to look like bipeds descended from giant preying mantises. This brings to mind a 1974 or 1975 comment by a prominent astrophysicist that only exoskeletal creatures can survive the gravitational forces generated by right-angle turns at mach 10 and other such astounding maneuvers even then attributed to UFOs. I’m sorry I don’t remember the astrophysicist’s name, but I do remember his comment generated a lively, mostly apprehensive discussion midway through the astronomy course I was then taking as an overage undergraduate. Now, knowing how insect biology is a prime inspiration in robotics and artificial intelligence, I find the notion of insectoid conquerors horrifying beyond words. Is our obviously methodical reduction to moral imbecility the beginning of our replacement by dependably emotionless machines? And let us not forget that female mantises, like female spiders, eat their mates, nor that a large enough plague of locusts – or greedy patriarchs – could leave our Earth as barren as present-day Mars. Are we humans being bred to be our masters' Soylent Green? Might irremediably desolate Mars exemplify the ecogenocidal ruin Earth too is now fated to become?
Even so, a few documentaries present the invaders as benign. “Encounters,” a four-episode program on Netflix, describes the extraterrestrials as claiming “the environment is our first priority,” warning us our species is “actually making harm on the world,” that “technology is not going to do humans any good” and urging us to care for nature. It also quotes Japanese sources who describe the aliens as “kind and comforting,” which echo many First Nations accounts of encounters with beneficent “Star People.”
The notion of benevolent and malevolent extraterrestrials and their implicit competition for human allegiance is obviously the newest variant of the ancient traditions, common to all cultures, of cosmic warfare between the forces of good and evil. From any such perspective of universal dualism, the pivotal question becomes the one poised by the coal miners’ anthem, “Which Side Are You On?” But the oft-demonstrated omnipotence of the ruling class – specifically its uncanny genius at deception and co-optation (which history shows us is at least as old as patriarchy itself) – makes any such discernment impossible. Note the paradox of Christianity: is it, as the late and oft-persecuted Jesuit Fr. William Bischel believed and practiced, a benevolently revolutionary credo of peace, humanitarian love, social liberation and the harmonious healing of Nature? Or is its equally documented function as the credo of ecogenocidal hatred embraced by capitalists, Trumpists, prosperity-gospel fanatics, Ku Klux Klaners, Nazis, witch-burners and other misogynistic moral imbeciles the true expression of its essence? Note too the message of Jesus according to the forbidden Gospel of the Egyptians, cited by Robert Graves in his King Jesus: "I have come to destroy the works of the Female." The same functional schizophrenia – and thus the same (unanswerable) question – seemingly applies to every religious or political movement our species has generated since the patriarchal conquest. Nor is it mooted by the growing suspicion many of our most iconic figures – Moses, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Our Lady of Fatima – may have themselves been extraterrestrials. Quoth St. Paul (2 Corinthians 11:14, New International Version): “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” And despite its apparent absurdity, let us not overlook the naggingly persistent rumor that Hitler's Nazis – and now their USian successors – achieved power as the willing puppets of extraterrestrial masters.

*********
A PERSONAL NOTE: a damaging bout with Civid -- I was abed from 21 June to 9 July 2023 (this despite vaccination and three boosters) -- has robbed me of any expectation of longevity beyond the immediate present and -- ironically, I'd say -- thereby granted me the freedom and perhaps the karmic necessity to disclose opinions, attitudes, experiences and suppositions I might otherwise have kept to myself. The run-amok disease -- my case exemplary both of “long Covid” and of “herd immunity” fulfilling its genocidal intent -- has fatally worsened my (hitherto-stable) congestive heart failure; an incurable fungus infection I brought back from Korea denies me corrective heart surgery, which in any case I am prohibited by poverty. Meanwhile the doubled and quadrupled medications so necessitated have set me on an inescapable path to kidney failure and reactivated my decades-dormant esophageal re-flux problems. Now, in 2026, it also obvious the virus has slain forever my senses of taste and smell.
But the worst of it is that Long Covid has inflamed my osteoarthritis so severely I am now permanently and painfully crippled, ambulatory only in an ancient but superbly well-made manually operated wheel-chair. This was a gift from generous comrades, as Medicare and Medicare Advantage regulations define wheel-chair acquisition as a privilege of wealth -- another of the innumerable examples of how USian "health care" is in fact death care, weaponized by austerity to exterminate those of us capitalism determines are no longer exploitable for our masters' profit. Yet it seems my crippled body refuses to die, which delights me no end because it makes my survival a revolutionary act, a spontaneous expression of my hatred for ChristoNazis and ChristoNazism so intense it is physically manifest. I am now 86 years old, which means as I revise this essay I have already lived six months past the two years the cardiologist estimated would be my maximum post-Covid longevity.
An avowed agnostic, I nevertheless delight in occasionally testing our three main oracles, I Ching, runes and tarot, and at the beginning of the pandemic in 2ch of the three predicted Covid would kill me. Though eventually I came to believe I had either misread their messages or proven their uselessness, now the medical data tells me they spoke correctly, which it seems the I Ching always does reliably, though the other two are reliable only about half the time.
Another oracular form is dream interpretation, and though I have no particular skill in that area, I do recognize a radical change in my dream content, which now focuses on conversations with dead people. These are folks I dearly miss, usually my father or one of the two women in my life who were both lovers and confidants and therefore special friends. Many times I dream I am accompanied by one or more of my long-dead favorite dogs, any of whom were proper companions for the bear and cougar country I so loved for trout fishing, grouse hunting and exploring for its many archaeological anomalies. Absurdly in these dreams my body is often young and healthy, though in real life I am always near exhaustion, which is the CHF relentlessly working to end my life. Thus when I fall asleep, I am never sure I will awaken. But as dreadful as all this may sound, it is also a liberation, for these are indeed the Chinese curse of "interesting times," and now that I no longer have any future to protect, I am free to write as I damn well please.
