My reasons for asking have more to do with my curiousity over the subject than with my skepticism towards it.<br><br>I disagree that something like this could be true and have no evidence. It becomes entirely different from most of the things that are discussed here regularly. <br><br>I should make some things somewhat more clear.<br><br>I certainly believe that "Aliens" of some sort do exist, somewhere. This belief is based on statistical odds. Specifically the odds that the universe it empty, except for us, which are infinitesimal. <br><br>I didn't doubt I'd offend people and/or obstruct progress on other topics with this thread. I noticed no one was talking about it, just assuming one way or the other. I was curious why. Now I know why it isn't talked about here, at least.<br><br>I agree that UFOs are something. I've seen them myself. What I haven't seen is evidence that the government knows anything more than that they exist for certain. I think a lot of the "literature" on Aliens is either pure speculation or disinformation. I think they want you to think they know more than they do. (Seriously, do the Bush family seem like they're getting help from superintelligences? Really?)<br>I mean, smart people don't make deals with governments, why would super smart aliens?<br><br>I think the reasons for the government denial of knowledge would not require collusion with the ETs of whatever sort. Just the knowledge that the "other" exists would be devastating to the Status Quo. <br><br>Crowley's LAM, btw, was a "praeterhuman intelligence", that is, he believed it was one of the Ascended Masters commonly found in Occult Literature. <br>As a Thelemite, I'm sure I could tell you more about Crowley's connections to the UFO phenomenon than most people know. However, LAM, is NOT a Grey. He is specifically mentioned by Crow on several occassions as being a "former/post human entity" with a past, here, on earth. Although I've noticed a troubling lack of information on Crowley and Thelema here as well, even in Jeff's blogs (although not Jeff's words, merely the things he doesn't mention/ perhaps doesn't know), so this doesn't suprise me.<br><br>And as for ruling out Aliens, I've done no such thing, but I don't assume the existence of them because of eyewitness testimony. I've personally experienced the problems that reliance on EWT can create, in court. <br><br>I'm not saying those of you that say you saw aliens are lying, but I am saying that your testimony isn't good enough for me. Mostly because I don't know you, and have no way to assess your actual mental state. Not to mention the fact that you may have seen something that merely looked like aliens...<br><br>What I am seeking is some sort of Rationale for believing exclusively in this kind of control. <br><br>I find it amusing that my critique of "Reptoids" is being compared to religion bashing. I cannot aruge with this comparison. What I don't understand is why that is a bad thing?<br><br>Aren't you all here because you don't believe what they tell you? <br>Is it so weird that I should seek that people validate their claims about aliens preparing to harvest mankind as cattle?<br><br>And as for not understanding the motives of Aliens as an excuse for not providing evidence of their existence, I can only say that if they can speak our language then they can communicate their thoughts in human terms. There is no such thing as "earthbound" logic as a thing to itself. Logic is a function of mathematics at its base, and should be entirely universal in its abilities to describe/explain mental states. They should be able to explain themselves as well as we can explain ourselves. <br><br>I'm just trying to understand the logic behind this belief system. I've changed my mind and accepted many of the ideas I've encountered which initially seemed strange to me, based on a reassessment of the existing evidence (and usually a lack of such for the accepted explanation(s)). I'd imagine that it is entirely possible that given probable cause I could shift my views on this subject as well. <br><br>My biggest problem, and one I've noted earlier is that I cannot think of anything a type 2 civilization would require from a type 0 civilization. We're not in their league, so why should they play against us?<br>It couldn't be resources, whether genetic, mineral, etc...because our race will be beyond requiring these things long before we attain interstellar travel. It couldn't be our planet itself, because "terraforming" is already being seriously considered by several government as an alternative to "population control" and is well within our abilities now. (so why couldn't "they" just live on Mars as we will inside of the next 200 years?)<br><br><br>My second biggest problem isn't a logical one, it is simply the lack of evidence for this phenomena. It isn't like UFOs or oddly paranormal things (RV, etc), or government ritual cults, all of which have more than ample evidence to convince nearly anyone who looks at it for very long. But I've spent most of my life reading books about UFOs and Aliens and I haven't found anything to convince me that there are DARK ALIEN OVERLORDS ruling the world behind their Black Lodge Initiates. It just doesn't ring true for me. <br><br>I guess what I'm asking for is why I should believe in several layers of conspiracy, when there is only evidence for the top layer, that is, for men who do bad things to other people?<br> <p></p><i></i>
