Watchmen—the Most Dangerous Idea on Earth

For those unfamiliar with Watchmen --- it’s a comic book.  It’s also one of the densest, most original works of literature in the past 50 years. We are not in a lunatic minority with that opinion, either.

From a 2004 journal entry:

lateral thinking: finding solutions to intractable problems by cheating on such an insane and profound level that everyone is left too dumbstuck to argue with you. Alexander the Great is credited as the father of lateral thinking, because of his solution to the centuries-old puzzle of the Gordian knot. Rather than working within the assumed system of trying to untie the knot, he simply drew his sword and sliced it in half. Nobody could really deny he had “undone the knot”, and nobody really questioned it, either.

In terms of “intractable problems”, it’s hard to beat warfare.  The past 6000 years on Earth have seen constantly escalating bloodshed, and the past century has been the worst humanity has ever seen.  This is a math problem with over 6 billion variables, none of which can really be defined, let alone measured and modeled.

The concept of staging a catastrophic event to stun the population of Earth into accepting World Government and setting down their weapons is not new.  This is something that has crossed the mind of any intelligent UFO investigator --- what if there are no aliens at all, just some program to “debut” some fake aliens with such a high level of technology that humanity doesn’t question their origin?  Given the fact our military classifies nearly all of it’s research, and given the fact that the Department of Defense and DARPA are even more paranoid, and finally given the fact that the national security state has been in place since 1947 if not much sooner --- does this line of thought seem more rational now?

Consider how you would react if you turned on the news and saw that 100s of floating crafts had suddenly appeared over every major city on Earth.  They had issued demands and vaporized several key landmarks as a show of force. Would the possibility of an elaborate hoax enter into your head?  For the “truth will set us free” crusaders among us --- would it matter at all if you exposed this?

We would suggest the answer is “no”.  Given the 50+ year edge of secret technology the military and intelligence communities have, it’s downright foolish to assume there is nothing up their sleeves.  Despite the fact the invasion was a hoax, the fact the invasion would involve surperior weapons technology remains.  Humans in UFOs is just as dangerous --- perhaps even more so --- as aliens in UFOs.  After all, just look at the technology they DO announce: invisibility suits, pain beams, and the classic “Acoustic Heterodyne”:

There is no shortage of likely candidates for a plot this evil.  The Vatican was the villian a similar bid in another, equally great, comic Preacher: launching a nuclear war with disabled warheads.  When all the warheads fall and do nothing but crush anyone cosmically unfortunate enough to be underneath them, the Vatican would introduce their own psychic-telepathic Jesus, who would claim responsibility for the miracle and usher in World Peace.

It’s a fairly safe bet that there is a cabal of wealthy fundamentalist Christians who plan on doing exactly that --- this is a major factor in the Isreali control of US forigen policy in the past 50 years.  The collusion of Christians eagerly awaiting Armageddon and Isrealis working towards a Final Solution for the entire Arab race is bad news, period.  Regardless of wether or not they’re planning on faking an alien invasion or a return of Christ --- they’re still a serious problem we need to deal with.

And what about a benign conspiracy?  What about the Nine Unknown Men?  What about 2012?  Is there a group of turned-on scientists and artists with access to secret technology who are engineering miracles as we speak?
