Humanity is following the path that many nations have always followed—depleting their home worlds and then becoming prone to seduction by forces in the Greater Community. For once you enter these great networks of trade, your destiny will be determined by others. You will have to meet whatever terms and conditions are required for you to receive what you need—whether it be food and medicine or advanced technology. You will have very little freedom and self-determination under these circumstances, and this has been the fate of so many races.
Now you are vulnerable. Like the adolescent child in the big city, you are entering a larger arena of life—unprepared, without wisdom and discernment regarding all the forces that could take advantage of you in your innocence and your ignorance.

If we, the global human population, had a pressing need, for this example let's just say a vaccine. We need this particular vaccine that an outside life form has. The world population is against a trade agreement, but our chosen leaders believe we need it and negotiate a trade. Is all of humanity, for the rest of time, screwed because of the few leaders?
