Dr pecker, I absolutely believe you are sincere in your belief. I also used to share your same view, verifying it to myself by saying,'there MUST be aliens, with all the millions of planets, we would be ignorantly stupid to believe we are on the only planet that can support life'.
I would also back up my belief with Ancient Astronaut theory and the fact that historical artifacts have been found with insinuation to aliens. And also a fragile link has been made through religion. I now have a different view. My alien belief was impressed on me, the very same way yours has. Through advertising, film, media, social conditioning, cognitive distortion.
My brother, will you quiet your thoughts for 10 minutes and listen to my words if you will, feel my sincerity. Have you ever gave thought to war and its purpose?
If you understand, you might agree with me that, wars have paradoxically been linked to oil and land grabs but I would like to point to another,more sinister reason for war and then hopefully you will understand why I am writing this. When there are no systems of control society breaks down. It is a long held belief that we NEED a hierarchical system, to function as a society. Along time ago the most educated (usually the most rich) devised a system of manipulation to stop the poor from robbing them. They invented a link to alien kinship, which gave 'royal rights' for certain blood lines to rule and thus the royal families ruling today share this same Abrahamic (the same one in the bible) bloodline. Needless to say this is why I don't believe in religions either (do believe in god and 'treat others how you wish to be treated, but....). However given enough time and desperation men would always challenge their rulers. After various attempts at stabilizing societies, eventually a system was devised to rid the population of excess males and thus release pressure from society. During war the most strongest, capable and testosterone filled males are sent to die along with the poorest and least educated. If you had money and influence you could negotiate your family off of a waring continent and into more peaceful territory. Which left a whole lot of woman left with their young children, this suited the ideals of the gentry, lol. These young children could be taught certain truths that would shape their (eventually) adult thoughts, away from overcoming the suppressor and into a cycle of thoughts that maintained the suppressors position of authority. This unfortunately is what we are all facing today. I can not begin to explain to you just how much of our so called history is lies taught as truth, it goes deeper my mate and covers racism, disease, cancer and methods to implement its onset, absolutely bloody everything you have ever been taught, is a fabrication.
