Fear is a fundamental factor in the creation and maintenance of autocracy. Autocracy is a system based on reward and punishment. Subjects obey their masters because they fear punishment and desire rewards. Why should predatory extraterrestrials act any differently toward us than we act amongst ourselves?
In ET cases regarding fearsome and horrible acts it is clear to me that such acts are meant to instill fear and terror amongst both civilians and military causing them to think and act is ways that are not in the best interest to them or to humanity as a whole. When people are fearful not only are they easy to manipulate or herd, but they also do not see and act with clarity. Fear, anger and despair obstruct the situational awareness necessary to avoid predation. We can see this not only in human society but all around us in nature as well.
What these colonizing predatory unethical extraterrestrials are doing to us is no different than how whales herd fish through fear and intimidation. The message behind these mutilations and other horrible acts target autocratic leadership. The message to these leaders is, get defensive, don't think, follow your basic survival instincts, form a herd, cover up the truth, destroy democracy and head right down that road to colonization. It's a predatory strategy that is working very well.
A bright future belongs to the fearless not the fearful. The way to our personal and collective salvation is to openly face and overcome our fear. Full and open disclosure of extraterrestrial reality is the only way out of this mess. But disclosure will only be the beginning because those that would hold dominion over humanity and the earth both terrestrial and extraterrestrial will not give up their hold on humanity easily. The game will move from cover up to fearful spin.
Maybe if I keep repeating myself on this over and over maybe these ideas that the road to colonization is fundamentally based on fear will gain some traction amongst those fearful of extraterrestrial reality. President Roosevelt was right in stating, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."
We can't have an enlightened extraterrestrial policy or a bright future unless we become fearless and take clear positive actions on our own behalf. We need national and global democratic leadership that is truthful, open and fearless not secret, deceptive and fearful. Nothing good can come from an environment that fosters secrecy, fear and lies.
