The Great Deception
by
David J. Collins
Smoke, stench,
destruction all around and the epidemic of disease.
How silly must have been the populous
of this dead burnt out planet. No signs of
survivors anywhere. It began by a farce of an
election.
Everything had been mandated beforehand.
Yes, indeed many years beforehand. It was achieved
by creating one enemy whereby the people could
easily be rallied. There were a few dissenters of
course, but they were quickly pointed out to be
unpatriotic
and some were even labeled traitors. I believe this
tactic had been used earlier during what was called
the
McCarthy era.
We have watched this planet through its
evolutionary process from its very inception. How
terrible a thing
it is when one group of people on a planet believe
that it has a monopoly or a patent for the way life
should
be lived by everyone else. I believe that they
called it democracy - yes, that is what it was
called. Sad, truly
sad. A planet that once promised so much.
It all began with what they termed 9/11. The
destruction of their two tallest buildings I
believe. We
watched it from many light years away. Some members
of the Galactic Council wanted to intervene after
this fiasco had been carried on for so long and to
the detriment of the planet, but many of our Elders
pointed out that our policy of non-intervention and
the sovereign right of other planets must be preserved. It
was even delineated that this oversight was the
chief cause of this planet's premature demise.
One
of this
planet's other presidents - Reagan, I believe - made
the remark that in order to unite the American
people
there needed to be one common enemy. Goebbels also
made a similar remark, but added that the fear
factor would cause people to give up their rights
if they were led to believe that security would be
established
as a result. One of our Elders said no need to
fear. The American people and other peoples of the
Earth
would never believe that there was a connection
between the Iraqi leader and the terrorists who
destroyed
the World Trade Center. That Elder was really
disappointed as he watched the Security Council and
its
General Assembly not condemn America for its
aggression against Iraq.
There was never any outrage when the President
talked about a war without end.
Yes, so much carnage because of the
irresponsibility of one man, and the willingness of
the populous to
follow this man without question; but then again,
to question was to be perceived as unpatriotic.
Yes, Iraq
was only the beginning. Then came Iran, Syria and
even long time ally Jordan. Some were shocked to
see
Russia and China enter the fray because many said
that it would never happen. Then France and Germany
along with North Korea. After awhile the entire
planet was engulfed in the nightmare of World War.
I reckon that it is true. The masses are but sheep
who are gullible and seek others to think for them.
It
didn't take long. Only a few short years for total
annihilation. The patriot act took care of most of
the
dissenters. What a shame because they were the true
patriots as some others found out too late. All of
those detestable concentration camps. People
arrested on suspicion of terrorist ties. Others quarantined on
suspicion of disease.
The most amazing incident was their armies' attempt
to destroy us as we came to save them from
self-annihilation. Yes, they turned their toy
weaponry upon us. We had never calculated that they
would be
horrified by our method of travel. It took one
nanosecond for one of our Galactic Police Officers
to
obliterate the entire planet before we could say
anything in its defense, but the similarities
between what
happened and what we found in one of their books
called "bible" is very amazing indeed. To know
that
they were forewarned and still did nothing to avert disaster is beyond belief.
So this is what our records will show. Upon
entering Earth's atmosphere and nearing the place
called
Jehoshaphat near the valley of Megiddo we were
fired upon by Earth's armies collectively and one
of our
officers of the Christ order obliterated all life
forms.
Stop. Erase that last line. Just coming in is the detection of a very small contingent of life remaining on this planet. Issue the order to create a new heaven and a new earth to sustain the survivors. Over and out.
