Info-ParaNet Newsletters Volume I Number 455 Thursday, August 15th 1991 Today's Topics: Rainbow Declaration, Part 6 Rainbow Declaration, Part 7 Rainbow Declaration, Part 8 Rainbow Declaration, Part 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Part 6 Date: 14 Aug 91 14:55:00 GMT <<<<>>>> ENCOUNTERS IN THE COSMOS The HHM would say that encounters between E.T. nations and Earth nations are similar to encounters between less advanced nations and European explorers and exploiters. Generally, the more advanced and organized the less advanced nation was, the better it fared. Example: Japan was politically united, and on its own islands, militarily fearsome, despite having lower technology than the Europeans. However, faced with a massive display of American naval power (the ships were carefully painted white and black to look impressive), the Japanese government agreed to open up for trade and diplomatic relations. (Reference 13) They reorganized their society and held the Americans and other foreigners at bay militarily, thus preserving their sovereignty while most other small Asian nations are conquered by the Europeans. They adopted Western technology and finally became a great power. This did not prevent them from getting into trouble later, but they did very well during the European Colonial period. The American Indians present a tragic counter example. They were politically disunited, had no concept of the world view and ambitions of the Europeans and were technically backward. However, it was not lack of technology that caused them to lose their land; it was a lack of comprehension of the threat they faced. If they had known what they were facing from the beginning, they could have swept the Europeans into the sea. Instead, they lost almost everything, land, heritage, and most of their population, to a slow but relentless advance of the white man. WAR IN THE COSMOS The HHM tells there will be power politics between peoples in the Cosmos. Sadly, it also tells us that since "war is merely politics extended by other means," (Reference 14) there must be war in the Cosmos between nations. I have already referred to the Bible where it tells of war in heaven in Revelations; Thus, it is written that Earth is not the only arena of war. I have often referred to the Bible in this talk and will do so again; however, I also have spoken, in general, of books of ancient wisdom of Earth and how they would be useful in advising us concerning the Cosmos. I will now begin referring to such a useful book of ancient wisdom. It is a book of the East where the Bible is a book of the West, but it is ancient and wise in my view and along with the Bible and other books I think it offers humanity great help. This book it Sun Tzu, the Art of War. I commend this book to your study. Sun Tzu writes to us, "military action is important to the nation -- it is the ground of death and life. The path of survival and destruction, it is imperative to examine it." (Reference 15) War occurs in the Cosmos as part of a struggle for dominance; it is an aspect of the law of competition of survival of the fittest. On Earth, nations go to war for territory and resources so they can prosper and grow and their competitors will wither and shrink, or be absorbed. According to he HHM, wars occur in the Cosmos over stars and planets and the space containing them. We know that stars like the Sun that are single and of its special range F through K type are best for having life bearing worlds around them, like the Earth. (Reference 16) The hotter stars are too short lived and the dimmer, cooler ones are too unstable. We also know that planets like Earth, that are living planets, with oxygen atmospheres, and favorable temperature, are rare. Only one such planet exists in this star system which contains nine planets. Mars may have once been a living planet, but it is now dead. According to the HHM, people will fight over land and ocean and resources like those found on Earth. Therefor, the HHM says that the space containing stars like the Sun around which orbit planets like the Earth, with intelligent beings or not on them, are the things over which people of the Cosmos probably fight wars. They fight, because if you can have such a planet, you can settle a million individuals on it, and they will become a billion in a few centuries. If they can have ten such planets, a people can prosper and become great; if a people loses ten such planets to a competitor, then they will become weak and despised...their seed will not be as the stars of heaven. War between advanced peoples both of whom may possess nuclear weapons is probably highly risky, even if one side's space technology is highly superior. Nuclear weapons, like gunpowder on Earth, is probably a great equalizer in the Cosmos. In addition, space, by definition, allows cultures to develop in great isolation from each other, and thus have very different levels of technology. For these reasons, wars in the Cosmos probably seldom take place between equals. War on Earth most often comes about from a perceived imbalance of military capabilities. Life on Earth is not fair; probably neither is life in the Cosmos. So we would expect some peoples will carry out wars of conquest or extermination against their weaker and less advanced neighbors. Since these wars will involve armed conflict between very different cultures and species, they will probably be very cruel, as such wars are on Earth. In predicting this, I am supposing that some peoples of the Cosmos will act more like biological entities rather than moral civilized states. In saying this, I do not say all peoples of the Cosmos will act ruthlessly towards their neighbors, only some of them. On Earth we have nations that are great and powerful and others that are merely powerful. It is a dream that scientific knowledge and technological power lead to moral enlightenment in a nation, but we know on Earth that some nations can have enormous wealth and scientific and technological power, yet commit unspeakable crimes and aggression against their own people and others. Nazi Germany was for a period the most technologically advanced power on Earth, with ballistic missiles, jet fighter planes, and an active program to build nuclear weapons. No power on Earth could rival it for a period. Germany before this had been considered a center of theology and culture. Yet in a few years, Germany regressed into a nightmare and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity. Technology and morality do not go hand in hand on Earth or probably anywhere else in the Cosmos. One has only to look at our own society to see this. For some nations, technology merely provides irresistible temptations to abuse other nations. Nor does the fact that a people dwell among the stars make them moral and just. We dwell on a star, and it sits among other stars, but we must constantly struggle with ourselves to do right, and sometimes we fail at this. Therefore, according to the HHM the Cosmos is as harsh and desperate a place as it is beautiful. The laws of biology dictate this, and Earth merely reflects it. Morality and enlightenment must struggle against criminality and darkness in the Cosmos as they do on the Earth, and sometimes this struggle is armed. Given the preceding discussion, a likely scenario for war in the Cosmos is as follows: (1) an advanced space power encounters a less advanced power; (2) the more advanced power displays its power hoping to cow the less advanced power into submission; (3) if this ploy succeeds, the advanced power subjugates the lesser power without war; and (4) The subjugated people may be merely enslaved or else exterminated and the planet settled with the victorious species. Sun Tzu says "The best policy is to use strategy, influence, and the trend of events to cause the adversary to summit willingly." (Reference 17) That is, a military victory can be had at little cost by first achieving psychological victory over the enemy. One successful psychological ploy that was used with great success on Earth in analogous situations was to convince the less advanced natives that the more advanced were gods. This ploy was used by Cortez, who made ingenious use of the Quetzacotl legend in his attack on the Aztec empire. Cortez also used calculated displays of cannon fire, horses, and other technologies to convince the Aztec envoys that he possessed supernatural powers. Montezuma, the King of the Aztecs was almost hypnotized or "spooked" by the Spanish. Finally, when the Aztecs realized too late that the Spanish were just gold-hungry flesh and blood people like themselves, the people killed Montezuma for betraying them to the Spanish. cortez by this time had raised up the Indian nations long enslaved by the Aztecs, and so managed to conquer an empire of millions with only 800 men. Pizzaro also pulled off such a conquest again by "spooking" the Inca emperor into believing he was divine. So, a former pig farmer with a few hundred men conquered another empire of millions. -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Part 7 Date: 14 Aug 91 14:56:00 GMT <<<<<>>>>> However, let us suppose that the less advanced power is very tough minded and refuses to be cowed by the advanced powers' superior technology. Let us suppose also that the lesser power rejects as psychological ploys the advanced power's attempts to claim divinity, and that these attempts to attain psychological advantages merely harden the will of the less advanced people to fight. In this case, two things could happen: (1) The advanced power will withdraw or decide to establish normal and respectful diplomatic ties with the lesser power. (2) The advanced power may choose to wage war on the less advanced power when psychological ploys used alone have failed. Here the outcome is not nearly so predictable as one might imagine. War between technological unequals is probably the norm in the Cosmos rather than the exception. However, as on Earth, technology is only one of many factors is war. The factors are primarily: 1. Relative numbers of military forces -- does one side have overwhelming numbers? 2. Moral and discipline of the forces -- can it be maintained in the face of losses? 3. Length of supply lines -- can a large military effort be sustained for long by both sides? 4. Political unity of opposing power groups -- can one side exploit divisions in the other? 5. Technology -- can the high tech of one side be easily countered by the low tech of the other? 6. Will -- are the less advanced people more willing to resist than the more advanced are willing to press attacks? 7. Other Powers -- will other powers stay out of the war or intervene on one side or another? 8. Which side chooses the Way -- one side or neither? (Reference 18) As was discovered by the United States in Vietnam and the Russians in Afghanistan, technological superiority alone is not a deciding factor against adversaries who are tenacious, clever, are willing to die rather than submit, who have high morale, and who confront the advanced power on their home territory. These wars also showed the sensitivity of advanced powers to casualties, even when the advanced power may not be known for its concern for human life, as was the case with Russia. One Russian was quoted as saying "30,000 dead was one day's losses at Stalingrad, but in Afghanistan it seems too much." The difference was that 30,000 Germans died also and the Russians were fighting for their homes and lives. Death on foreign hostile territory, far form home, at the hands of primitive natives is especially grievous to advanced peoples, because, economically, a trained member for their society is more costly to replace than a member of a more primitive society, especially, if he must be trained in the use of high tech weaponry and transported great distances onboard expensive transports. therefore, if a less advanced society can maintain ferocious, long-term resistance against an advanced aggressor operating far form home, with limited forces, the less advanced people can triumph. the more advanced people will simply find they are bogged down and taking losses in an unwinnable war far from home, and they will leave. In such a triumph, morale and, if possible, religious zeal on the part of the less advanced people is a decisive factor. I repeat, in a conflict where a technically advanced power is waging a war of aggression on a less advanced power, the morale and will of the lesser power is what is decisive, not technology alone. Sun Tzu, though he wrote of war, as also a great moralist. To him a key factor in war was to follow "the Way." (Reference 18) "The Way means humaneness and justice. In ancient times, a famous minister of state asked a political philosopher about military matters. The philosopher said, 'Humanness and justice are the means to govern properly. When government is carried out properly, people feel close to the leadership and think little of dying for it'." He also said: (Reference 19) "Those who use arms will cultivate the Way and keep the rules. Thus, they can govern in such a way as to prevail over the corrupt." "Those who use its superior technology to try and oppress and destroy less advanced neighbors does not know of the Way. This is true on Earth, and I think this is true throughout the Cosmos. If a people departs form the Way to oppress their neighbors, then neither the brilliance of their technology and intellect, nor all their clever words can disguise it. Sadly, this brings us to the subject of the present situation regarding humanity and some of its fellow peoples of the Cosmos and what forty years of E.T. contact have taught us. FORTY YEARS OF UFOLOGY: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? A goal of this paper was to factor into our view of human destiny what we have learned from forty years of contact with E.T.s. In particular, what does the HHM do to unravel for us what is reported concerning the last forty years. Several observations can be made. The first and primary observation is that, at least on the surface everything appears well. Humanity rules and occasionally misrules, the Earth. No overt signs of E.T. contact are seen. In the last forty years, humanity, itself, has become spacefaring, advanced in power, and in some ways, has gained wisdom. Except for a popular preoccupation with E.T. contact fantasies, no outward sign of E.T. Earth dialogue is apparent. The second observation is that, like many situations on Earth, much is being concealed. Concealment is usually a sign of conflict. Sun Tzu wrote: (Reference 20) "Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby, you can be the directors of the opponent's fate." The groups of extraterrestrials who seem to have long term interests here seem to be concealing their true intentions and the governments of Earth are concealing their true posture toward the extraterrestrials. To learn anything form the past forty years of Ufology, one must have a method of interpreting both the government's and the E.T.s' actions. We have such a method in the HHM. What does the HHM tell that we have learned about the past forty years? It tell us the following: 1. We are not in a region of space controlled by any one E.T. nation; we know this because many species visit us. 2. Most E.T.s seem to have adopted a policy of benign non- interference in Earth's affairs. 3. Most E.T.s are quite humanoid. 4. Three groups seem to be attempting to carry out a long term activity here. (a) Reticulians or "grays" -- A species reportedly form Zeta Reticuli 36 light years form Earth. (Reference 16) These are the short, big-eyed, big-headed aliens. (b) The Talls -- similar to the Reticulians but more humanoid, blonde, blue-eyed -- origin unknown. (c) Nordics -- very humanoid, Scandinavian appearance -- star of origin unknown. It must be stated that is is not clear to what extent these three species' intentions towards Earth coincide. 5. Some E.T. contact has been extremely positive and strongly suggests that we will one day become a part of some community of cosmic peoples of like beliefs to our own. 6. There does not appear to be any Galactic government protecting primitive planets like Earth from E.T. contact. 7. Some E.T.s appear to be quite hostile to humanity. This last point is an unpleasant and difficult one. However, it merely means the Cosmos is like the Earth, and you live on Earth, so you can deal with this possibility. Unfortunately, it appears that the E.T.s with the most interest in Earth are also the most hostile. How could it be any different if humanity is involved? -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Part 8 Date: 14 Aug 91 14:57:00 GMT <<<<<<>>>>>> THE SECRET STAR WARS: THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT THE LAST FORTY YEARS It is my analysis, based on the HHM, that the Reticulians (or grays) are implacably hostile to humanity. (figure 1) As to the Reticulian goal, there can be little doubt, for they have come far, stayed long, suffered great losses, and expended great resources, yet they will not reveal it to us. But, their actions reveal their goal: to have the Earth for their own. Their actions are not consistent with anything else. Our government apparently realized this at some point in the distant past, perhaps as early as 1947. The government has kept this secret locked up in Dreamland with its captured discs. It is my belief that the fact of Reticulian hostility is the actual great secret underlying the entire government cover-up concerning UFOs. However, this truth can no longer be kept secret; it is apparent from both Reticulians' behaviors that are widely known in Ufology and the government's reactions to them. I would argue that while it may have been useful to have kept this secret in the past (that is, the fear engendered by the knowledge of hostile aliens might have been more dangerous than the aliens themselves), it is now more dangerous to keep it secret, because secrecy is now a hindrance to effective defense. Ufology has withheld judgment for a long period concerning the behavior of the Reticulians. This was justified because, in the past, data was scanty and unreliable. We have avoided judging the Reticulians' actions by human standards because they were not human, and we like to withhold judgment even on humans until we have some basic level of knowledge about them. We also have tended to place less credibility on reports of Reticulians' atrocities and hostile acts because they frighten us, and because they are at odds with our picture of E.T.s as the hoped for "space brothers," the angelic saviors of humanity. However, the truth appears to be that the truly benevolent E.T. nations want little to do with us, and that humanity has only God and itself to look to for salvation. ***************************************************************** Omitted: "Figure 1."; Text reads: The Hostile Reticulian. Out of numbers of people in our cosmic neighborhood, the Reticulians have demonstrated implacable hostility to humanity. But this hostility is not irrational, we both want the Earth and only one can have it. They must be, and will be, opposed by all means necessary. ***************************************************************** It appears our government has been involved in a Secret Star Wars with the Reticulians. This Star War is sometimes cold, sometimes hot and has been punctuated by cynical truces and cease fires, but Star War is the best term for it. Is this government posture justified; I would argue, yes, absolutely. The time is now ripe for Ufology to make a judgment regarding the behavior of the Reticulians and their cohorts. I give you my judgment: the emperor has no clothes, the Reticulians and their crimes are naked. It is widely and reliably reported now that the Reticulians are engaged in horrifying behavior. 1. They abduct and terrorize people beginning often with children. (Reference 21) 2. They mutilate cattle and leave them for their owners to find. (Reference 22) 3. Their breeding program is an abominable crime against humanity. (Reference 23) 4. They kill people, only whether it is murder 1, 2, or 3, is debatable. (Reference 24) 5. They invade our airspace and destroy our warplanes and pilots sent to defend our airspace. (Reference 25, 26) This pattern of behavior by the Reticulians indicates a complete disregard for human rights, life, or dignity. Some have said that those are crimes by human standards, but perhaps not by Reticulian standards. I argue that this is Earth, and humanity and its standards rule on Earth, so if they are crimes by human standards, then as far as we are concerned, they are crimes by any standard. I further argue that murder, mutilation, abduction, and hostile intrusion into a planet's airspace are crimes on any planet. The HHM gives an astonishing and horrifying interpretation of Reticulian behavior: Reticulian Behavior Human Parallel Primary Meaning/Purpose Abduction: Kidnaping and Terrorization, Abduction Domination Sexual Procedure: Rape/ Terrorization, Molestation Domination Talk in Riddles to Old Human Psychological power to Abductees: Interrogation plus maintaining trick emotional distance from victim Tissue Sample: To "cut" Demonstrate power someone Animal/Human Old human ploy Terrorization -- Mutilation: frustrated expression of rage Claims of Cortez in Psychological warfare divinity and to Mexico and to induce surrender have influenced "I made you history: everything you are today" Desire for Secrecy: Mafia, Disguise military Terrorist weakness groups It is even reported that the Reticulians have claimed to have invented Jesus Christ. (Reference 27) If this is what the Reticulians have claimed, it is a contemptible lie. The Reticulians by their actions have shown themselves to be completely ignorant of Christ's teachings. Even the devil can quote scripture, and appear as an angel of light. (References 28, 29) This claim concerning Christ is in my opinion, again, a naked attempt to gain psychological domination over humanity. As awful as such behavior is, it clearly indicates their utter disrespect for human religious beliefs and is thus clearly a warning. For Christians this makes our conflict with the Reticulians particularly apparent and mortal. For it is written. I John 4:3 "And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is the spirit of the antichrist..." To a Christian, what could be a simpler decision. Either the Bible or the Reticulian is lying, and the Reticulians are commonly reported to be liars about even petty things. So, it would not surprise me if the Reticulians soon claim to have invented Moses, the Ten Commandments, and the electric light bulb. Ignore these claims. Our conflict with the Reticulians is a mortal one in that we are dealing with a power that wishes to destroy everything we regard as precious and holy in the Earth. In my view, surrender to the Reticulians is suicide and holocaust; it is unthinkable. It is obvious that, when analyzed by HHM, the Reticulians' actions have strong parallels in every record of human oppression and terror. The Reticulians resemble an Earthly terrorist state such as Iran, Libya, North Korea, or the Mafia. I would argue that its strongest parallel is Nazi Germany, because of its utter disregard for human values and its abominable crimes against humanity seen in its breeding program. This would mean that humanity's introduction to the Cosmos has actually become a confrontation with a latter day Axis alliance with the Reticulians playing Nazi Germany, and the Talls and Nordics playing the roles of Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. Like the Nazis, the Reticulians are bent on conquest. There can be little doubt as to their goal: to seize the Earth for themselves. -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Part 9 Date: 14 Aug 91 14:58:00 GMT <<<<<<<>>>>>>> This, I would argue, is the real secret of the past forty years, not that E.Ts have come to Earth, but that hostile E.T.s have come to Earth. In response, the government has tried to lock this terrible truth away from public awareness. Like the publicly known Star Wars concept, it has a bizarre dual existence as the stuff of both tabloid headlines and the blackest of the black programs. The arrival of this Reticulians Axis has triggered every possible defensive action by our government and other world governments, and I think this is justified. The government has particularly made every possible attempt to gain understanding of Reticulians technology. It has been reported that the government has even entered into agreements with the Reticulians and allowed them sanctuary on some military bases. Why would a government do such a thing if it believed the Reticulians were vile and hostile? They would do it because they must have knowledge, as Sun Tzu states: (Reference 30) "A major military operation is a severe drain on the nation, and may be kept up for years in the struggle for one day's victory. So to fail to know the conditions of opponents because of reluctance to give rewards for intelligence is extremely inhumane, uncharacteristic of a true military leader, uncharacteristic of an assistant of the government, uncharacteristic of a victorious military leadership to overcome others and achieve extraordinary accomplishments is foreknowledge. Foreknowledge cannot be gotten form ghosts and spirits, cannot be had by analogy, cannot be found out by calculation. It must be obtained from people, people who know the conditions of the enemy." So, our government may have done such things. This covert Star Wars involves espionage and counter espionage, and it is not pleasing to look upon. However, the more vile and hostile the Reticulians, the more necessary such dialogue with them becomes. In addition, the government would attempt to keep this situation secret from its own people by whatever means possible. The government, in a sense, has been trying to preserve the "Prime Directive." Unfortunately, this has required the government to lie continually to its people, among other things that it has done. Our government has, in general, done what governments do when they are threatened with war by a powerful and unknown enemy. Now, it is becoming plain that this situation can no longer be kept secret. One would immediately protest that if the Reticulians are implacably hostile to humanity, why don't they attack since they are so powerful? My first response is that many of us have enemies, but when they attack openly, it is usually a relief; for the most part, treachery and intimidation are the rule in conflicts between individuals and nations. My second response is that humanity has enormous military power on Earth's surface and in its atmosphere, and the Reticulians are a space power, with few forces available and far from home; so they are powerful but so are we. They are more advanced, but they are not as powerful as they want us to think. My third response is that the Cosmos is probably a complicated place, and these complications place constraints on Reticulian actions just as they constrain the actions of Earth nations. What can be done about this situation? I would argue that much can be done and this situation is neither hopeless, nor beyond us in Ufology from making a contribution. However, one must not avoid the impact of this realization -- that humanity is probably confronted with a powerful and merciless enemy. GOD, GUTS, AND GUNS AGAINST THE RETICULIANS For me, the impact of the Secret Star Wars, the concept of the Reticulians as implacable enemies of humanity and of our government, brought me closer to God. However, I went through a classic grief reaction. First, there was fear and white-hot rage alternating with denial and terrible grief. then, there was despair and nights of prayer. Then, there was courage and hope. Finally, there was also resolve: God is with humanity; if we must fight the Reticulians, God will fight for us also. I would argue that he already fights for us, and that the strength of His arm was seen at Roswell, before anyone even knew we had an enemy. (figure 2) For there, in one stroke, a Reticulians' craft fell even as we celebrated the Fourth of July, and our government found the Reticulians' craft shattered and the bodies of Reticulians scattered about as food for the buzzards and coyotes. We thus knew form the onset that the Reticulians were flesh and blood and not invincible or infallible. We also knew they had crashed while spying on what was then one of our most secret defense installations, showing our government their possible hostile intent. So, God has helped us form the beginning, before we even knew we needed help. We are much stronger militarily than we were in 1947. The human race has never been more technologically advanced or more united than it is now. I believe we are only a breakthrough away from a unified field theory that will allow us to control gravity with electromagnetism. When we achieve this we will be able to duplicate much of the Reticulians' technology and eventually improve on it. I am myself working on such a theory, and I know many others are also working on it; may God help us in our work. Finally, it is known that weapons we already possess are effective against the Reticulians and their ships. Many of the reported crashes of alien ships were not accidents; they were victories in a secret war with a secret enemy. Many brave men have died already to defend their country and their people. Let us remember their sacrifice. So, with God's help, I found courage and resolve to fight the Reticulians and their Axis. I see reason for grave concern, but I see reasons to be encouraged also. We will win. We will win, because God is with us, and we seek His help. We will win because we are strong and brave and ready to die, if necessary; and we will win because we have already shown our weapons are powerful against the Axis; and while they may rule in space, we rule on Earth, and in its atmosphere. We will win because necessity is the mother of invention, and we do not need to duplicate Reticulians technology to render it useless to them. So God, Guts, and Guns are our key allies in victory. ***************************************************************** Omitted: "figure 2"; Text reads: The evening of July 4, 1947, in a field near Roswell, New Mexico. The irony of fate dictates, that as the Reticulians and their craft lay fallen and broken, the nation celebrates Independence Day. ***************************************************************** Much more could be said about this matter and will be said; however, this paper is not about the present but about the future. So, let us now consider how what we have learned in the last forty years will impact our future. In particular, what can we in Ufology do to positively impact the human future, given our knowledge of the past forty years. Concisely summarized: The past forty years of Ufology have taught us that the Cosmos is like the Earth and that the dynamics of nations in the Cosmos resembles the dynamics of nations on Earth. On Earth we have seen powerful advanced nations try to oppress weak and less-advanced nations. We now see a repetition of that struggle of nations in a vaster arena with the past forty years being a struggle between two astonishingly powerful groups of nations in the Cosmos, humanity and the Reticulians' Axis. There are apparently a cloud of other cosmic nations, "silent watchers," also monitoring these events. So, we have learned something, but what can we do with this knowledge? You in Ufology are the only group outside of the government that has the slightest inkling of what the real human situation is. I have spoken of a problem: I will now tell you what positive step you can do to help this situation. The key concern is that humanity's destiny, so far as it is under the control of flesh and blood, is in its own hands. So, it is human intentions, not the intentions of the Reticulians, that are important. So, what are your intentions? -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG ********To have your comments in the next issue, send electronic mail to******** 'infopara' at the following address: UUCP {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara DOMAIN infopara@scicom.alphacdc.com For administrative requests (subscriptions, back issues) send to: UUCP {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara-request DOMAIN infopara-request@scicom.alphacdc.com To obtain back issues by anonymous ftp, connect to: DOMAIN ftp.uiowa.edu (directory /archives/paranet) ******************The**End**of**Info-ParaNet**Newsletter************************
