"Old tricks are the best tricks, eh?"
From a Carol Rossin page:
Dying from cancer, Werner Von Braun enlisted Carol Rossin, a fellow executive at Fairchild Industries, to help educate the public and decision-makers. He regarded space-based weapons as "dumb, dangerous, destabilizing, too costly, unnecessary and unworkable."
Significantly he outlined the five-step "scare tactics" used to justify them. First the public has been made to fear:
- the Communists;
- then terrorists,
- then rogue nations,
- then asteroids
- and finally extraterrestrials.
"Remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie," he told her.
The program is slowly unfolding as Von Braun predicted. We are at the rogue nation, terrorist stage, and about to transition into the UFO stage, methinks.
1. I do not hold for one second, to the notion that all of our visitors are simply here to sing Kumbaya and roast marshmallows with us.
2. I am not too fond of the idea of "benign neglect" either. In some respects I think of it similar to driving by a car wreck, casually counting the number of people bleeding to death.
There is another process, one of immense power which can/could/should be at work. Achievement can be a factor of external, just as it can come from internal inspiration.
So while I type this, I also "send it out":
If you have any desire for this race to be "as equal",
pay us the compliment, and extend us the grace of treating us as such. As you are here, your "judgments" are just as relevant as our own.
THAT is the nature of true brotherhood.
There is a magic that happens when someone "forgets, or frees themself" from who they
are and puts their energy into what they
can be. It is inherent in our nature to "climb above" just about anything, when we are inspired. You can too.
Such is the nature of grace. You
can participate.
