What if?

Unless you have been living under a rock (and alot of us have been, I am sure...with all the news about Iraq and the upcoming presidential elections taking up the airwaves-and the streets in the latter instance) you may have heard about the impending flyby of a pretty "Massive" astroid heading close to Earth on Wed September 29, 2004 (Tommorow in our world).



That astroid named "TOUTALIS" is supposed to come close enough to our planet to possibly even impact (the internet has been abuzz for months about this "mountian size planetoid" possibly dropping into one of our oceans and causing a massive tidal surge-think Deep Impact the movie or Armagedden the movie-that would surly cause massive loss of life on this planet) us, but most scientests feel that it will pass by without any cause for alarm.

I for one, am still planning on taking my vacation next week and planning for christmas and my 39th birthday in Feb of 2005.



But.....WHAT IF FORECASTS of imminent doom are, as techno-paranoids call them, "psy-ops"?

That is, psychological operations designed to redirect popular thinking in certain ways? What if we are being conditioned to live in fear of some world-ending super-menace—from outer space or wherever—that could be simulated and then seemingly averted at the last moment by a "miraculous" rescue? Whoever "saved" the world through such global stagecraft would acquire unprecedented influence. Dictators have risen to power and even claimed divinity for themselves using much more modest ruses.



Fantastic though such a scenario sounds, something like it probably could be done with technologies of the very near future, if not the present. One easily can imagine a tyrant(Bush anyone??) with worldwide ambitions and high-tech capabilities scheming even now to pull off the greatest hoax of all time, after years of conditioning the public to anticipate precisely such a crisis. This may sound like the ultimate techno-paranoid nightmare, yet it's consistent with the high volume of current warnings that the end is near. Quite a large number of people around the globe believe that the world is in its sunset years.



After 911, I remember my stepmother saying that she felt this was the beginning of the end. That was a scary thought coming from a pretty level headed person that I have known for a long time.



I also remember reading an article a few years ago about "psychological conditioning of the masses" through "Mass Media". The movies we watch being a major aspect of this.

Take the movies"Independence Day, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Alien movies, and the latest movie from Stephen King called Dreamcatcher".......are we being conditioned to "know and think" what the aliens look like, why they are coming and what can be done to survive such an event??

The article that I read, relates that because of this...when our goverment "claims to have initiated 1st contact with an alien intelligence" and then try to bring the population under a very strict "martial law" (Dept of HomeLand Security..hmmm) type of situation, we won't hesitate to follow their orders for fear of what may happen otherwise.







Hoaxes or not, on both the secular and religious levels, someone is successfully inciting fears about "the end" arriving very soon. Is it all the buildup to some contrived mega-fright?



Proof is lacking for the most part. Mike Moore's movie "Farenheit 911" gives some inkling to such notions and a few "non mainstream media sources" have mentioned different scenarios, but you won't hear or see any of this from the likes of CBS,NBC or CNN.



But, now so many people are screaming at once about a planetary upheaval within the next several years, that anyone can be persuaded that the world has only a few months left or that we will be "invaded" by a hostile species from outerspace.



Are we being Duped??? Dig a little, read a little and come to your own conclusion. We all must make up our own minds......mine says that something is ALREADY going on...but that that most of us will probably really never know....or at least not for a while......

(Remember how no one believed that the "Holocaust" never really happened.....that is until alot of people started talking, others started digging and getting information to the masses).



I for one...plan to keep digging and searching and learning all that I can.

As "Moulder from the XFiles tv show says......."The truth is out there".



Until my next installement......take care and love one another with all of your hearts.



Just me......
