Intervention deceptions

"There are those in the Greater Community who are more powerful than you. They can outsmart you, but only if you are not looking."

"The Intervention has been functioning here with little human resistance for many decades. Its plans are now in a mature phase, waiting to exploit human weakness, human division, human superstition and human expectation to their own advantage to gain control of the world and the world's precious resources. Their goal is not to eliminate humanity but to use humanity as a workforce, as a subservient workforce, to maintain the appearance of normalcy as long as possible while the power and authority over the world has shifted to foreign powers.

"Do not fortify your sense of helplessness or sense of unworthiness by attempting to place a happy or benevolent sentiment upon them."

Targeting Human Weakness

"Even today, many people believe that advanced technology is the same as advanced ethics and morality. They assume that if a race has survived over a long period of time that they have by necessity overcome the predisposition to competition, conflict and war.

"The Intervention is here to cast persuasion over the world, to gain control of the minds and hearts of people. It is doing this by offering people incredible promises of salvation and free energy, promising humanity peace and equanimity, offering advanced technology in order for humanity to become dependent on these foreign powers. And like the foolish natives of so many tribes before, humanity is acquiescing to these promises. Having lost faith in human leadership and human institutions, many people are now turning to the Intervention for guidance, believing its promises of peace and technology."

Targeting Human Superstition

"Do you think that the Plan calls for a bunch of dreamers? Ineffectual, impotent, lacking in courage? We assure you this is not the case. Strong you must be— gentle, sensitive and strong."

"Clearly, living in joyful expectation is not adequate, for there are indeed forces at hand that are not benevolent and are using human beings for purposes that do not support the well-being of humanity. What is called for is responsibility, Wisdom, certain forms of empowerment and a greater understanding of what intelligence is and how it interacts in its different forms."

Targeting Human Expectation

"People project their own values upon what they think life might be like in the Universe. As a result of this, people project human values, human aspirations, human concerns and human ethics on their speculation about intelligent life in the Universe. For many people, this results in projection of the belief in a superhuman race in the Universe, for it is very difficult for people to consider there are races very different from their own, whose values and ethics are very different from their own."

"The visitors will cast themselves as saviors and rescuers of humanity."

"People hope there is a more intelligent, more benevolent race of beings like us out there in the Universe, who could teach us and help us and shepherd us through our difficult transition into becoming a race that is capable of functioning within a Greater Community of intelligent life."
