                    ENCOUNTERS IN THE COSMOS

     The  HHM would say that encounters between E.T. nations  and
Earth  nations  are similar to encounters between  less  advanced
nations and European explorers and exploiters.
     Generally, the more advanced and organized the less advanced
nation was, the better it fared.
     Example:  Japan  was  politically united,  and  on  its  own
islands,  militarily  fearsome, despite having  lower  technology
than  the  Europeans.  However, faced with a massive  display  of
American naval power (the ships were carefully painted white  and
black to look impressive), the Japanese government agreed to open
up  for  trade  and diplomatic relations.  (Reference  13)   They
reorganized  their  society  and held  the  Americans  and  other
foreigners  at bay militarily, thus preserving their  sovereignty
while  most  other  small  Asian nations  are  conquered  by  the
Europeans.  They adopted Western technology and finally became  a
great power.  This did not prevent them from getting into trouble
later,  but  they  did very well  during  the  European  Colonial
period.
     The American Indians present a tragic counter example.  They
were politically disunited, had no concept of the world view  and
ambitions  of  the  Europeans  and  were  technically   backward.
However,  it was not lack of technology that caused them to  lose
their  land;  it was a lack of comprehension of the  threat  they
faced.   If  they  had  known what  they  were  facing  from  the
beginning,  they  could have swept the Europeans  into  the  sea.
Instead, they lost almost everything, land, heritage, and most of
their  population, to a slow but relentless advance of the  white
man.

                        WAR IN THE COSMOS

     The  HHM tells there will be power politics between  peoples
in the Cosmos.  Sadly, it also tells us that since "war is merely
politics  extended by other means," (Reference 14) there  must  be
war  in the Cosmos between nations.  I have already  referred  to
the  Bible where it tells of war in heaven in Revelations;  Thus,
it is written that Earth is not the only arena of war.
     I have often referred to the Bible in this talk and will  do
so  again; however, I also have spoken, in general, of  books  of
ancient wisdom of Earth and how they would be useful in  advising
us  concerning the Cosmos.  I will now begin referring to such  a
useful  book of ancient wisdom.  It is a book of the  East  where
the  Bible is a book of the West, but it is ancient and  wise  in
my  view  and  along with the Bible and other books  I  think  it
offers  humanity  great help.  This book it Sun Tzu, the  Art  of
War.   I commend this book to your study.  Sun Tzu writes to  us,
"military  action is important to the nation -- it is the  ground
of  death and life.  The path of survival and destruction, it  is
imperative to examine it." (Reference 15)
     War  occurs  in  the  Cosmos  as  part  of  a  struggle  for
dominance;  it is an aspect of the law of competition of survival
of  the fittest.  On Earth, nations go to war for  territory  and
resources so they can prosper and grow and their competitors will
wither  and  shrink, or be absorbed.  According to he  HHM,  wars
occur  in  the  Cosmos  over stars  and  planets  and  the  space
containing them.
     We  know that stars like the Sun that are single and of  its
special  range F through K type are best for having life  bearing
worlds  around them, like the Earth. (Reference 16)   The  hotter
stars  are  too short lived and the dimmer, cooler ones  are  too
unstable.  We also know that planets like Earth, that are  living
planets, with oxygen atmospheres, and favorable temperature,  are
rare.  Only  one  such planet exists in this  star  system  which
contains nine planets.  Mars may have once been a living  planet,
but it is now dead.  According to the HHM, people will fight over
land and ocean and resources like those found on Earth. Therefor,
the HHM says that the space containing stars like the Sun  around
which  orbit planets like the Earth, with intelligent  beings  or
not  on  them,  are the things over which people  of  the  Cosmos
probably fight wars.  They fight, because if you can have such  a
planet, you can settle a million individuals on it, and they will
become  a billion in a few centuries.  If they can have ten  such
planets, a people can prosper and become great; if a people loses
ten such planets to a competitor, then they will become weak  and
despised...their seed will not be as the stars of heaven.
     War  between  advanced  peoples both  of  whom  may  possess
nuclear  weapons  is probably highly risky, even  if  one  side's
space  technology  is  highly superior.   Nuclear  weapons,  like
gunpowder on Earth, is probably a great equalizer in the  Cosmos.
In addition, space, by definition, allows cultures to develop  in
great  isolation  from each other, and thus have  very  different
levels  of  technology.  For these reasons, wars  in  the  Cosmos
probably  seldom  take place between equals.  War on  Earth  most
often  comes  about  from  a  perceived  imbalance  of   military
capabilities.   Life  on Earth is not fair; probably  neither  is
life  in the Cosmos.  So we would expect some peoples will  carry
out  wars of conquest or extermination against their  weaker  and
less  advanced  neighbors.  Since these wars will  involve  armed
conflict  between very different cultures and species, they  will
probably be very cruel, as such wars are on Earth.  In predicting
this,  I  am supposing that some peoples of the Cosmos  will  act
more like biological entities rather than moral civilized states.
In  saying this, I do not say all peoples of the Cosmos will  act
ruthlessly towards their neighbors, only some of them.
     On  Earth  we have nations that are great and  powerful  and
others  that are merely powerful. It is a dream  that  scientific
knowledge and technological power lead to moral enlightenment  in
a  nation,  but  we  know on Earth that  some  nations  can  have
enormous  wealth  and  scientific and  technological  power,  yet
commit unspeakable crimes and aggression against their own people
and   others.    Nazi  Germany  was  for  a   period   the   most
technologically advanced power on Earth, with ballistic missiles,
jet  fighter  planes,  and an active  program  to  build  nuclear
weapons.  No power on Earth could rival it for a period.  Germany
before this had been considered a center of theology and culture.
Yet  in  a  few years, Germany regressed  into  a  nightmare  and
committed unspeakable crimes against humanity.
     Technology  and morality do not go hand in hand on Earth  or
probably  anywhere else in the Cosmos.  One has only to  look  at
our own society to see this.  For some nations, technology merely
provides irresistible temptations to abuse other nations.
     Nor  does the fact that a people dwell among the stars  make
them moral and just.  We dwell on a star, and it sits among other
stars,  but  we  must constantly struggle with  ourselves  to  do
right,  and sometimes we fail at this.  Therefore, according  to
the  HHM  the Cosmos is as harsh and desperate a place as  it  is
beautiful.   The laws of biology dictate this, and  Earth  merely
reflects  it.  Morality and enlightenment must  struggle  against
criminality  and darkness in the Cosmos as they do on the  Earth,
and sometimes this struggle is armed.
     Given the preceding discussion, a likely scenario for war in
the Cosmos is as follows: (1) an advanced space power  encounters
a  less advanced power; (2) the more advanced power displays  its
power hoping to cow the less advanced power into submission;  (3)
if  this ploy succeeds, the advanced power subjugates the  lesser
power  without war; and (4) The subjugated people may  be  merely
enslaved  or  else exterminated and the planet settled  with  the
victorious  species.   Sun Tzu says "The best policy  is  to  use
strategy,  influence,  and  the  trend of  events  to  cause  the
adversary  to  summit  willingly." (Reference  17)   That  is,  a
military  victory  can be had at little cost by  first  achieving
psychological victory over the enemy.
     One  successful psychological ploy that was used with  great
success on Earth in analogous situations was to convince the less
advanced natives that the more advanced were gods.  This ploy was
used  by Cortez, who made ingenious use of the Quetzacotl  legend
in  his attack on the Aztec empire.  Cortez also used  calculated
displays  of  cannon  fire, horses,  and  other  technologies  to
convince the Aztec envoys that he possessed supernatural  powers.
Montezuma,  the  King  of the Aztecs  was  almost  hypnotized  or
"spooked" by the Spanish.  Finally, when the Aztecs realized  too
late  that  the  Spanish were just gold-hungry  flesh  and  blood
people like themselves, the people killed Montezuma for betraying
them  to  the  Spanish.  cortez by this time had  raised  up  the
Indian  nations  long enslaved by the Aztecs, and so  managed  to
conquer  an empire of millions with only 800 men.   Pizzaro  also
pulled  off such a conquest again by "spooking" the Inca  emperor
into believing he was divine.  So, a former pig farmer with a few
hundred men conquered another empire of millions.

<<<<<<Continued from previous message>>>>>>

     However, let us suppose that the less advanced power is very
tough  minded  and refuses to be cowed by  the  advanced  powers'
superior  technology.  Let us suppose also that the lesser  power
rejects  as psychological ploys the advanced power's attempts  to
claim  divinity, and that these attempts to attain  psychological
advantages merely harden the will of the less advanced people  to
fight.   In this case, two things could happen: (1) The  advanced
power will withdraw or decide to establish normal and  respectful
diplomatic  ties with the lesser power.  (2) The  advanced  power
may  choose  to  wage  war  on  the  less  advanced  power   when
psychological ploys used alone have failed.  Here the outcome  is
not nearly so predictable as one might imagine.
     War  between technological unequals is probably the norm  in
the  Cosmos  rather than the exception.  However,  as  on  Earth,
technology  is only one of many factors is war.  The factors  are
primarily:

     1.  Relative  numbers of military forces -- does  one  side
         have overwhelming numbers?
     2.  Moral  and  discipline  of the  forces  --  can  it  be
         maintained in the face of losses?
     3.  Length of supply lines -- can a large military effort be
         sustained for long by both sides?
     4.  Political unity of opposing power groups -- can one side
         exploit divisions in the other?
     5.  Technology  -- can the high tech of one side  be  easily
         countered by the low tech of the other?
     6.  Will  -- are the less advanced people  more  willing  to
         resist  than  the  more advanced are  willing  to  press
         attacks?
     7.  Other Powers -- will other powers stay out of the war or
         intervene on one side or another?
     8.  Which  side  chooses the Way --  one  side  or  neither?
         (Reference 18)

     As  was discovered by the United States in Vietnam  and  the
Russians in Afghanistan, technological superiority alone is not a
deciding  factor against adversaries who are  tenacious,  clever,
are willing to die rather than submit, who have high morale,  and
who  confront the advanced power on their home territory.   These
wars   also  showed  the  sensitivity  of  advanced   powers   to
casualties, even when the advanced power may not be known for its
concern for human life, as was the case with Russia.  One Russian
was  quoted  as  saying  "30,000 dead was  one  day's  losses  at
Stalingrad,   but  in  Afghanistan  it  seems  too  much."    The
difference  was  that 30,000 Germans died also and  the  Russians
were  fighting  for  their homes and  lives.   Death  on  foreign
hostile  territory,  far  form home, at the  hands  of  primitive
natives  is  especially grievous to  advanced  peoples,  because,
economically,  a trained member for their society is more  costly
to replace than a member of a more primitive society, especially,
if  he  must  be trained in the use of  high  tech  weaponry  and
transported   great  distances  onboard   expensive   transports.
therefore,  if  a less advanced society can  maintain  ferocious,
long-term resistance against an advanced aggressor operating  far
form  home,  with limited forces, the less  advanced  people  can
triumph.   the  more advanced people will simply  find  they  are
bogged down and taking losses in an unwinnable war far from home,
and they will leave.  In such a triumph, morale and, if possible,
religious  zeal  on  the part of the less advanced  people  is  a
decisive  factor.   I repeat, in a conflict where  a  technically
advanced  power is waging a war of aggression on a less  advanced
power,  the  morale  and  will of the lesser  power  is  what  is
decisive, not technology alone.  Sun Tzu, though he wrote of war,
as  also  a great moralist.  To him a key factor in  war  was  to
follow "the Way." (Reference 18)

    "The  Way means humaneness and justice.  In ancient times,  a
    famous minister of state asked a political philosopher  about
    military  matters.   The  philosopher  said,  'Humanness  and
    justice  are the means to govern properly.   When  government
    is carried out properly, people feel close to the  leadership
    and think little of dying for it'."

    He also said: (Reference 19)

    "Those  who  use  arms will cultivate the Way  and  keep  the
    rules.   Thus,  they can govern in such a way as  to  prevail
    over the corrupt."


"Those  who  use its superior technology to try and  oppress  and
destroy  less advanced neighbors does not know of the Way.   This
is true on Earth, and I think this is true throughout the Cosmos.
     If a people departs form the Way to oppress their neighbors,
then  neither the brilliance of their technology  and  intellect,
nor  all their clever words can disguise it.  Sadly, this  brings
us to the subject of the present situation regarding humanity and
some of its fellow peoples of the Cosmos and what forty years  of
E.T. contact have taught us.

         FORTY YEARS OF UFOLOGY:  WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

     A  goal of this paper was to factor into our view  of  human
destiny  what  we have learned from forty years of  contact  with
E.T.s.   In  particular, what does the HHM do to unravel  for  us
what  is  reported  concerning the  last  forty  years.   Several
observations can be made.
     The  first and primary observation is that, at least on  the
surface everything appears well.  Humanity rules and occasionally
misrules,  the Earth.  No overt signs of E.T. contact  are  seen.
In   the   last  forty  years,  humanity,  itself,   has   become
spacefaring,  advanced  in power, and in some  ways,  has  gained
wisdom.   Except  for a popular preoccupation with  E.T.  contact
fantasies,  no outward sign of E.T. Earth dialogue  is  apparent.
The  second observation is that, like many situations  on  Earth,
much  is  being  concealed.  Concealment is  usually  a  sign  of
conflict.
     Sun Tzu wrote: (Reference 20)

    "Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.   Be
    extremely  mysterious,  even to the point  of  soundlessness.
    Thereby, you can be the directors of the opponent's fate."

     The  groups of extraterrestrials who seem to have long  term
interests  here seem to be concealing their true  intentions  and
the governments of Earth are concealing their true posture toward
the extraterrestrials.
     To learn anything form the past forty years of Ufology,  one
must have a method of interpreting both the government's and  the
E.T.s' actions.  We have such a method in the HHM.  What does the
HHM  tell  that we have learned about the past forty  years?   It
tell us the following:

     1.  We  are not in a region of space controlled by  any  one
         E.T. nation; we know this because many species visit us.
     2.  Most E.T.s seem to have adopted a policy of benign  non-
         interference in Earth's affairs.
     3.  Most E.T.s are quite humanoid.
     4.  Three groups seem to be attempting to carry out  a  long
         term activity here.
         (a) Reticulians or "grays" -- A species reportedly  form
             Zeta Reticuli 36 light years form Earth.  (Reference
             16)   These  are  the  short,  big-eyed,  big-headed
             aliens.
         (b) The  Talls -- similar to the Reticulians  but  more
             humanoid, blonde, blue-eyed -- origin unknown.
         (c) Nordics -- very humanoid, Scandinavian appearance --
             star of origin unknown.

         It  must be stated that is is not clear to  what  extent
         these three species' intentions towards Earth coincide.
     5.  Some  E.T.  contact has  been  extremely  positive  and
         strongly suggests that we will one day become a part  of
         some community of cosmic peoples of like beliefs to  our
         own.
     6.  There  does not appear to be  any  Galactic  government
         protecting  primitive  planets  like  Earth  from   E.T.
         contact.
     7.  Some E.T.s appear to be quite hostile to humanity.

     This  last  point  is  an  unpleasant  and  difficult   one.
However,  it merely means the Cosmos is like the Earth,  and  you
live   on  Earth,  so  you  can  deal  with   this   possibility.
Unfortunately,  it appears that the E.T.s with the most  interest
in  Earth  are  also  the most hostile.  How  could  it   be  any
different if humanity is involved?

THE SECRET STAR WARS:  THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT THE LAST FORTY YEARS

     It  is my analysis, based on the HHM, that  the  Reticulians
(or grays) are implacably hostile to humanity.  (figure 1)  As to
the  Reticulian  goal, there can be little doubt, for  they  have
come far, stayed long, suffered great losses, and expended  great
resources, yet they will not reveal it to us.  But, their actions
reveal  their  goal:  to have the Earth  for  their  own.   Their
actions  are not consistent with anything else.   Our  government
apparently  realized  this  at some point in  the  distant  past,
perhaps  as early as 1947.  The government has kept  this  secret
locked up in Dreamland with its captured discs.  It is my  belief
that the fact of Reticulian hostility is the actual great  secret
underlying  the  entire  government  cover-up  concerning   UFOs.
However, this truth can no longer be kept secret; it is  apparent
from both Reticulians' behaviors that are widely known in Ufology
and the government's reactions to them.  I would argue that while
it  may  have been useful to have kept this secret  in  the  past
(that is, the fear engendered by the knowledge of hostile  aliens
might have been more dangerous than the aliens themselves), it is
now  more dangerous to keep it secret, because secrecy is  now  a
hindrance to effective defense.
     Ufology  has withheld judgment for a long period  concerning
the  behavior of the Reticulians. This was justified because,  in
the  past,  data  was scanty and  unreliable.   We  have  avoided
judging the Reticulians' actions by human standards because  they
were  not human, and we like to withhold judgment even on  humans
until we have some basic level of knowledge about them.  We  also
have tended to place less credibility on reports of  Reticulians'
atrocities and hostile acts because they frighten us, and because
they  are  at  odds with our picture of E.T.s as  the  hoped  for
"space brothers,"  the angelic saviors of humanity.  However, the
truth  appears to be that the truly benevolent E.T. nations  want
little  to do with us, and that humanity has only God and  itself
to look to for salvation.
*****************************************************************
Omitted:  "Figure 1."; Text reads: The Hostile Reticulian.   Out
of numbers of people in our cosmic neighborhood, the  Reticulians
have  demonstrated  implacable hostility to humanity.   But  this
hostility is not irrational, we both want the Earth and only  one
can  have  it.  They must be, and will be, opposed by  all  means
necessary.
*****************************************************************
It appears our government has been involved in a Secret Star Wars
with the Reticulians.  This Star War is sometimes cold, sometimes
hot  and has been punctuated by cynical truces and  cease  fires,
but Star War is the best term for it.  Is this government posture
justified; I would argue, yes, absolutely.
     The  time  is  now  ripe for  Ufology  to  make  a  judgment
regarding  the behavior of the Reticulians and their cohorts.   I
give you my judgment: the emperor has no clothes, the Reticulians
and  their crimes are naked.  It is widely and reliably  reported
now that the Reticulians are engaged in horrifying behavior.
     1.  They abduct and terrorize people beginning  often  with
         children.  (Reference 21)
     2.  They mutilate cattle and leave them for their owners  to
         find.  (Reference 22)
     3.  Their breeding program is an abominable  crime  against
         humanity.  (Reference 23)
     4.  They kill people, only whether it is murder 1, 2, or  3,
         is debatable.  (Reference 24)
     5.  They invade our airspace and destroy our warplanes  and
         pilots sent to defend our airspace.  (Reference 25, 26)
     This  pattern  of behavior by the  Reticulians  indicates  a
complete disregard for human rights, life, or dignity.  Some have
said that those are crimes by human standards, but perhaps not by
Reticulian  standards.  I argue that this is Earth, and  humanity
and  its standards rule on Earth, so if they are crimes by  human
standards,  then as far as we are concerned, they are  crimes  by
any   standard.   I  further  argue  that   murder,   mutilation,
abduction,  and  hostile intrusion into a planet's  airspace  are
crimes on any planet.
     The  HHM gives an astonishing and horrifying  interpretation
of Reticulian behavior:

Reticulian Behavior     Human Parallel    Primary Meaning/Purpose

Abduction:              Kidnaping and     Terrorization,
                        Abduction         Domination

Sexual Procedure:       Rape/             Terrorization,
                        Molestation       Domination

Talk in Riddles to      Old Human         Psychological power
to Abductees:           Interrogation     plus maintaining
                        trick             emotional distance from
                                          victim

Tissue Sample:          To "cut"          Demonstrate power
                        someone

Animal/Human            Old human ploy    Terrorization --
Mutilation:                               frustrated expression
                                          of rage

Claims of               Cortez in         Psychological warfare
divinity and to         Mexico and        to induce surrender
have influenced         "I made you
history:                everything
                        you are
                        today"

Desire for Secrecy:     Mafia,            Disguise military
                        Terrorist         weakness
                        groups

     It  is  even reported that the Reticulians have  claimed  to
have invented Jesus Christ.  (Reference 27)  If this is what  the
Reticulians  have  claimed,  it  is  a  contemptible  lie.    The
Reticulians  by  their  actions  have  shown  themselves  to   be
completely  ignorant of Christ's teachings.  Even the  devil  can
quote  scripture, and appear as an angel of  light.   (References
28, 29)  This claim concerning Christ is in my opinion, again,  a
naked attempt to gain psychological domination over humanity.  As
awful  as  such  behavior is, it clearly  indicates  their  utter
disrespect  for  human religious beliefs and is  thus  clearly  a
warning.   For  Christians  this  makes  our  conflict  with  the
Reticulians particularly apparent and mortal.  For it is written.

    I John 4:3

    "And  every spirit that confesses not that Jesus  Christ  is
    come  in the flesh is not of God and this is the  spirit  of
    the antichrist..."

     To  a Christian, what could be a simpler  decision.   Either
the  Bible  or the Reticulian is lying, and the  Reticulians  are
commonly  reported to be liars about even petty things.   So,  it
would  not  surprise  me if the Reticulians soon  claim  to  have
invented  Moses,  the Ten Commandments, and  the  electric  light
bulb.  Ignore these claims.  Our conflict with the Reticulians is
a  mortal one in that we are dealing with a power that wishes  to
destroy  everything we regard as precious and holy in the  Earth.
In  my  view,  surrender  to  the  Reticulians  is  suicide   and
holocaust; it is unthinkable.
      It is obvious that, when analyzed by HHM, the  Reticulians'
actions have strong parallels in every record of human oppression
and terror.  The Reticulians resemble an Earthly terrorist  state
such  as Iran, Libya, North Korea, or the Mafia.  I  would  argue
that its strongest parallel is Nazi Germany, because of its utter
disregard  for  human values and its  abominable  crimes  against
humanity  seen  in its breeding program.  This  would  mean  that
humanity's  introduction  to  the Cosmos has  actually  become  a
confrontation   with  a  latter  day  Axis  alliance   with   the
Reticulians  playing  Nazi  Germany, and the  Talls  and  Nordics
playing the roles of Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan.  Like  the
Nazis, the Reticulians are bent on conquest.  There can be little
doubt as to their goal: to seize the Earth for themselves.

<<<<<<<<Continued from previous message>>>>>>>>

     This,  I would argue, is the real secret of the  past  forty
years,  not that E.Ts have come to Earth, but that hostile  E.T.s
have  come  to Earth.  In response, the government has  tried  to
lock  this terrible truth away from public awareness.   Like  the
publicly known Star Wars concept, it has a bizarre dual existence
as  the stuff of both tabloid headlines and the blackest  of  the
black programs.
     The  arrival  of this Reticulians Axis has  triggered  every
possible  defensive  action  by our government  and  other  world
governments,  and I think this is justified.  The government  has
particularly made every possible attempt to gain understanding of
Reticulians technology.  It has been reported that the government
has even entered into agreements with the Reticulians and allowed
them sanctuary on some military bases.  Why would a government do
such  a  thing  if  it believed the  Reticulians  were  vile  and
hostile?   They would do it because they must have knowledge,  as
Sun Tzu states: (Reference 30)

    "A major military operation is a severe drain on the  nation,
    and  may be kept up for years in the struggle for  one  day's
    victory.   So  to fail to know the  conditions  of  opponents
    because  of  reluctance to give rewards for  intelligence  is
    extremely  inhumane,  uncharacteristic  of  a  true  military
    leader,  uncharacteristic of an assistant of the  government,
    uncharacteristic  of  a  victorious  military  leadership  to
    overcome others and achieve extraordinary accomplishments  is
    foreknowledge.
         Foreknowledge cannot be gotten form ghosts and  spirits,
    cannot be had by analogy, cannot be found out by calculation.
    It  must  be  obtained  from  people,  people  who  know  the
    conditions of the enemy."

     So,  our government may have done such things.  This  covert
Star Wars involves espionage and counter espionage, and it is not
pleasing  to look upon.  However, the more vile and  hostile  the
Reticulians, the more necessary such dialogue with them  becomes.
In addition, the government would attempt to keep this  situation
secret  from  its  own people by whatever  means  possible.   The
government,  in a sense, has been trying to preserve  the  "Prime
Directive."   Unfortunately, this has required the government  to
lie  continually  to its people, among other things that  it  has
done.   Our government has, in general, done what governments  do
when  they  are  threatened with war by a  powerful  and  unknown
enemy.   Now,  it is becoming plain that this  situation  can  no
longer be kept secret.
     One  would immediately protest that if the  Reticulians  are
implacably hostile to humanity,  why don't they attack since they
are  so  powerful?   My first response is that many  of  us  have
enemies, but when they attack openly, it is usually a relief; for
the  most  part,  treachery  and intimidation  are  the  rule  in
conflicts between individuals and nations.  My second response is
that humanity has enormous military power on Earth's surface  and
in  its atmosphere, and the Reticulians are a space  power,  with
few forces available and far from home; so they are powerful  but
so are we.  They are more advanced, but they are not as  powerful
as  they want us to think.  My third response is that the  Cosmos
is  probably a complicated place, and these  complications  place
constraints  on  Reticulian actions just as  they  constrain  the
actions of Earth nations.
     What  can be done about this situation?  I would argue  that
much  can  be done and this situation is  neither  hopeless,  nor
beyond  us in Ufology from making a contribution.   However,  one
must not avoid the impact of this realization -- that humanity is
probably confronted with a powerful and merciless enemy.

           GOD, GUTS, AND GUNS AGAINST THE RETICULIANS

     For  me, the impact of the Secret Star Wars, the concept  of
the  Reticulians  as implacable enemies of humanity  and  of  our
government, brought me closer to God.  However, I went through  a
classic grief reaction.  First, there was fear and white-hot rage
alternating  with  denial and terrible grief.   then,  there  was
despair and nights of prayer.  Then, there was courage and  hope.
Finally,  there  was also resolve:  God is with humanity;  if  we
must fight the Reticulians, God will fight for us also.  I  would
argue that he already fights for us, and that the strength of His
arm was seen at Roswell, before anyone even knew we had an enemy.
(figure  2)  For there, in one stroke, a Reticulians' craft  fell
even  as  we celebrated the Fourth of July,  and  our  government
found  the  Reticulians'  craft  shattered  and  the  bodies   of
Reticulians scattered about as food for the buzzards and coyotes.
We  thus knew form the onset that the Reticulians were flesh  and
blood  and not invincible or infallible.  We also knew  they  had
crashed  while  spying on what was then one of  our  most  secret
defense  installations,  showing our  government  their  possible
hostile intent.  So, God has helped us form the beginning, before
we even knew we needed help.
     We  are much stronger militarily than we were in 1947.   The
human  race has never been more technologically advanced or  more
united than it is now.  I believe we are only a breakthrough away
from a unified field theory that will allow us to control gravity
with  electromagnetism.  When we achieve this we will be able  to
duplicate  much  of the Reticulians'  technology  and  eventually
improve on it.  I am myself working on such a theory, and I  know
many others are also working on it; may God help us in our  work.
Finally,  it  is  known  that  weapons  we  already  possess  are
effective  against the Reticulians and their ships.  Many of  the
reported  crashes  of alien ships were not accidents;  they  were
victories  in a secret war with a secret enemy.  Many  brave  men
have died already to defend their country and their people.   Let
us remember their sacrifice.
     So,  with  God's  help,  I  found  courage  and  resolve  to
fight  the  Reticulians and their Axis.  I see reason  for  grave
concern,  but I see reasons to be encouraged also.  We will  win.
We  will win, because God is with us, and we seek His  help.   We
will  win  because we are strong and brave and ready to  die,  if
necessary;  and  we will win because we have  already  shown  our
weapons are powerful against the Axis; and while they may rule in
space,  we  rule on Earth, and in its atmosphere.   We  will  win
because necessity is the mother of invention, and we do not  need
to duplicate Reticulians technology to render it useless to them.
So God, Guts, and Guns are our key allies in victory.

*****************************************************************
Omitted: "figure 2"; Text reads:
The evening of July 4, 1947, in a field near Roswell, New Mexico.
The  irony  of fate dictates, that as the Reticulians  and  their
craft  lay fallen and broken, the nation celebrates  Independence
Day.
*****************************************************************

     Much more could be said about this matter and will be  said;
however,  this  paper  is not about the  present  but  about  the
future.  So, let us now consider how what we have learned in  the
last forty years will impact our future.  In particular, what can
we in Ufology do to positively impact the human future, given our
knowledge of the past forty years.
     Concisely summarized:  The past forty years of Ufology  have
taught us that the Cosmos is like the Earth and that the dynamics
of  nations  in the Cosmos resembles the dynamics of  nations  on
Earth.   On Earth we have seen powerful advanced nations  try  to
oppress weak and less-advanced nations.  We now see a  repetition
of that struggle of nations in a vaster arena with the past forty
years being a struggle between two astonishingly powerful  groups
of  nations  in the Cosmos, humanity and the  Reticulians'  Axis.
There  are  apparently a cloud of other cosmic  nations,  "silent
watchers,"  also  monitoring these events.  So, we  have  learned
something, but what can we do with this knowledge?
     You in Ufology are the only group outside of the  government
that  has the slightest inkling of what the real human  situation
is.   I  have  spoken  of a problem: I will  now  tell  you  what
positive step you can do to help this situation.  The key concern
is that humanity's destiny, so far as it is under the control  of
flesh  and  blood,  is  in  its  own  hands.   So,  it  is  human
intentions,  not  the  intentions of the  Reticulians,  that  are
important.  So, what are your intentions?
