Sans You, Individually Speaking

"...we are the Alone, in flight to the alone..."



It's about the individual, 
and the progress that is made... 
their pursuit of efficacious satisfaction! 
See, "one" goes further than the group
in fact, defines their group's pretension 
given "practices" of "mob-think"...
its "inaction."  

It's the Shamanistic pathway 
of "the cat who walks alone," 
where few will dare to tread 
as "edges" glare!  
...Though "edges" are required 
in pursuit of group survival
so perhaps some small respect 
might then be shared.
.
 ...And in no way will it matter 
that she suffers for her task, 
or he greases cosmic gears 
that tear his eyes. 
Their art is oft rejected... 
as are hurdles many fear... 
...but elevates us best... 
we find in time. 

They'd follow different rhythms 
quite ignoring the indifference 
that their "people" have preferred 
and so conspired...
...We, all but, touch the "face of God," 
but most avoid that "darkness," 
if from which... 
any novelty's inspired...
.
Still, that satisfaction's missing 
from the short-sight of our ways 
as we rape our mother planet 
for the "comforts" she can pay.
 
We count on some to point this out 
from where they're walking "lead"!  
From where they'd "light the darkness," 
at some peril; we proceed. 
.
Shamans suffer ostracism 
which is sure to come their way 
(for no good deed can go, 
perforce, unpunished); 
they are left to their devices 
they have made up on their own, 
and they stay a little lonely, if astonished!  
.
...And much provides astonishment, 
new vistas yawn and gape
new "ideas" stun the senses and the mind!!!  "Unnerving introspection" 
action's "strength of will" and more
as the "cosmic riddle" beckons... 
...our humility... one finds!
.
They only want what's righteous 
for the spirit's celebration! 
They want to look beyond 
the "common pale"! 
They want an "elevation
but they want to know its "price." 
They want to know these secrets... 
and prevail

They want to know of UFOs, 
and question small "grey" men—
or the "Reptoids," ...big-eyed "Nordics"... 
...come what may!  
The future is inexorable, 
and it bears down like a "train"; 
our Shamans pay the ticket price... 
so we don't miss the "plane"!
.
These perform their innovations 
for the novelty inspired. 
These perform for our advancement
and they should only be admired...
.
...These could ask the seeming "space-folk" 
to show us "limits" we were facing... 
most are foolish... if contrived and self-imposed. 
This *other's* real existence
is admitted by the "high-domes," 
but they won't admit they're "here"; 
they're indisposed.
.
UFOs are REAL, friend. 
if you pulled some scabrous scales from your eyes! 
Though to rail at the scales 
is to suffer, not, your sin, 
as it's you who's disrespected and deprived.
.
The "evidence" is massive
but it's picked apart by "thugs," 
and hidden by the "liars,
 cheats, and thieves"... 
...by "those we pay to govern"
 who betray their public trust, 
so's to line "psychotic pockets" 
with disease!
.
It is these who suck the power 
from the marrow of your bones, 
as they warp your sensibility 
to make you think... that we're alone...
.
Some would know the truth that *is*
—though heaven cracks and falls—
or all our staid conventions 
fall apart!
...  
If the heavens shatter quickly 
then it GOT its just desserts; 
it was empty of all meaning 
from the start!
  .
Too, one shan't dismiss the "faithful's" need: 
this heaven that they crave, 
it's the "nail" instabilities require. 
Though, their faith is turned against them (!) 
to "machines" for their control... 
and in no way of the "spirit" they'd desire.
.
It is foolish to presume 
that we will stay within our "womb," 
and ignore the deep expanse 
of time and space
To presume that *they* are here... 
is common sense of rare refinement
and a steadfast change in course 
for our whole race
.
This won't be hammered down to suit 
mere "skeptibunky clowns"—
cretins who won't see beyond their noses... 
One presumes that path one seeks 
is quite apart from them
a path that's ever upward... has been chosen.
.
It's our future way up there 
which stares from space, and is unblinking! 
Still, MOST would turn their backs on it, 
to ape a coward's thinking? 
.
...And NO! One shall not waver, 
revealing error and missteps... 
One shall not suffer Christians 
phony bows and aped "distress"!
.
 ...And NO, you are no coward! 
You are bravery unrestricted
You are talent, strength, and passion... unconfined
 Slipping bonds so binding, 
unremitting and confining
you might win your freedom's bounty you would find! 
.
And changing is the thing, the course to bounty
—seeking balance—
you deserve for "heating water," doing work... 
See, there IS an "I" in team... 
(...or no weak "link" defining "chain"!); 
you're more than mewling servant to some jerk!
.
It's your will... that must be turned; 
See, it's you who must "buy in."  
"...'Not provide' for 'their' support..." 
which is all you do, my friend!  
.
Sans you they cannot profit, see?  
Sans you they crash and fall; 
sans you they're only flailing!  
...Chance to hear them wail and bawl!  
.
So, NO! You are no shirker, 
though you'll make a grievance known! 
It's you who is the shaman! 
...It's been YOU, and you alone*

*You know who you are... Sure, you may be small by yourself, but when you don't show up? It matters. Enough of you not buying in? Control shifts to you!

.,¸¸,.»§«,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.»§«***»§«,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.»§«·.,¸¸,.

...We are "the alone, in flight to the alone" as has been observed by our more mellifluous and sonorous bards... it remains, we can perceive this for ourselves. Also remaining?

...But for you, and your effort: society crumbles slightly or a lot, but it crumbles, verily. God, shall not... cannot be depended upon. 

God's will. That baseless faith strains credulity, defines an incredulous, and defies any test! It wasn't God running up the stairs of the Twin Towers! It was human beings, friends and neighbors: the only salvation human beings can ever have! Ourselves! 

Consequently?

You deserve individual respect, reward, and a certain "forthcoming-ness" (Social Security & Medicare?)—for your very valuable labor, intellectual and especially otherwise, and for your functionally virtuous team-building—a "forthcoming-ness" that is likely NOT coming your way for keeping humanity on the beam. Why valuable?

... Valuable because you are the first responder in a very real way! This may be from pickin' up butter at the store for the family to running up those burning stairs we mentioned earlier. See, your expenditure of energy is bona fide "mind over matter" at the grassroots level! "Stuff gets done in the real world"... when you contribute. Useful stuff gets manufactured—almost out of thin air. "The man" doesn't make that... YOU do!

Persons 300 years ago would have perceived only magic with regard to the things YOU can do almost entirely without effort! Verily, if you own a cell phone (and have the necessary energizing cash!) you have the "philosopher's stone" of all alchemic myth! This was that magical alchemical device able to feed, clothe, and house you—even transport you anywhere on the planet and manipulate inert matter into high-tech articles of further magic usefulness at your will... that's your cell phone, another manufactured thing able to do comparative magic. 

I'm glad no one was waitin' around for THIS writer to invent all our stuff... more of that aforementioned salvation a result of humanity's beneficence? God didn't invent a polio vaccine or a quantum computer... and if we destroy ourselves with all this stuff? That will be on us, too.
  •  
It occurs to me that Alien technologies could put a nice spin on all of the preceding for this conjectured individual: yourself. You're due a little more "magic"... More of the "efficacious satisfaction," more novelty... that we have alluded to... here, is warranted. "Happiness" and the "pursuit of same"... the game!

 Cheaper power, greener manufacturing, an expanded quality of extended life, plus a safe and efficient transportation of advanced propulsion... hither and yon. ...Especially "yon," eh?

Perceive all this aggregate, sullen, and wholly disrespectful treatment by the system presently "employing" you, otherwise! Are the crippling denials of all these suggested individual empowerments and technological liberties perhaps only a ... control mechanism of unethical design... a control mechanism lavishly benefiting the "few"—hijackers of our cultural systems, means and mainstreams—at the expense of the abused "many," and giving those aforementioned systems, means, and mainstreams their power, ironically enough, in the first place? The Stone won't operate effectively without cash fuel...  

Where is the fairness?  Show me the respect tendered! How is this not merely a base tyranny?! Used? One should be paid!

Why don't they respect you? ...Because... and listen close 'cause this is key: ...because then they have to pay you, eh? Moreover, it's why they won't do anything about "overpopulation"... even exacerbate it! 

..."Overpopulation" provides for more to choose from in an abused and exacerbated mass of hungry persons... those "willing" who'll "do it for less"... (Romney's wet dream)... ...though it is sad 30,000 kids starve to death on the planet every day to make this program work...

 I know not what course others may take, mine changes, largely, regardless.

Restore John Ford!

SHOOT THEM DOWN! ...Consequences?



SHOOT THEM DOWN:
KEYHOE, MONTS, EDWARDS and FARNSWORTH
...and Dr. Carrington
by Alfred Lehmberg


In his 1953 book, "Flying Saucers From Outer Space," Donald Keyhoe reveals the public backlash that the Air Force received in response to the president's "shoot them down" orders against flying saucers. These were "saucers" abounding and festooning the world's, forgetting the United States', skies at the time. Revealed, there were sentient and more far-seeing people in this historical period with the opinion that overt hostility may not be humanity's "best practice." 

Understatement? What if the "Summer Of Saucers" in 1952 was the extraterrestrials' introduction to us? They knocked on our door, peaceably (they didn't start the shooting?!), and we answered the door, rockets and machine guns blazin'! We offer that may not be a proper Prom invitation. 

Cold War with the Soviets (who were having their own maturity problems?) or not, America was in an arrogant swagger after winning the Second World War and was just beginning to "swing its Richard" globally. The approach would seem to lack its own cogent maturity. 

Back at the ranch, the "International News Service" news agency (newswire), reported the Air Force's official statement. It was made by Senior Public Information Officer, Lt. Colonel Moncel Monts on July 28, 1952. Lt. Col. Monts stated, "The jet pilots are, and have been under orders to investigate unidentified objects and to shoot them down if they can't talk them down.

Laughable, wholly! What would be the manner of that "communication," in the first place, and reconnaissance (investigation!) by fire, in the second place (this retired soldier knows!), is only used when you already KNOW what the target is! We decidedly did NOT!

Investigate? Talk them down? This is typical only of lawyer speak covering "ethical" bases and is entirely risible on its face. When was there ever a public dialogue with the extraterrestrial? ...No... the Government wanted, by hook or crook, a flying saucer!

This INS "shoot them down" story appeared in newspapers nationwide on Tuesday, July 29, 1952. Two of those article headers appear below...








Donald Keyoe states the following information about the "shoot them down" orders on page 74 of his book in the chapter, "THE POWDER KEG." :

"The night before a story by INS had reported a new Air Force order—if saucers ignored orders to land, pilots were to open fire. At Washington, Frank Edwards had picked up the flash and repeated it on the Mutual network. Telegrams protesting the order were now coming in from all over the country. One, typical of the rest, came from Robert L. Farnsworth, president of the U.S. Rocket Society. Also wiring the White House, Farnsworth gave United Press [UP] a copy of his message to help arouse the nation."

This same "DON'T SHOOT" telegram was also sent to the Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett, the Secretary of Army Frank Pace, Jr., and the Navy Secretary Daniel Kimball on Tuesday, July 29, 1952.

                    

The reader can see the reflective moods of thoughtful persons pondering seriously on the "gravest consequences" of being deliberately hostile to "beings of far superior power," and even used the word "alienation"... another word for "quarantine," from them... a result of our behavior towards them! ...Comparative "spears" and "arrows" against what might only be technologies conjectured in the full realization, friends and neighbors, that if they can get here from wherever they came from... they can very likely kick our butts. There were those among us, then, who could appreciate that. There are those among us, now. 

Quickly, on the subject of 1950s jets being able to shoot down UFOs down, at all? Almost seven pounds of high explosive arriving at around the speed of sound in a point detonation may complicate the physics of your defenses, and there is abundant evidence for forced landing of UFOs... Frank Feschino's Flatwoods comes to mind. There were others.

ET... it's a gobsmacking thought, if still not becoming more apparent reflective of our current events and the state of our observational technologies... and we're getting ready to curve-ball around the bend entirely when it's realized that we may be seeing the time-shifted evidences of some vastly superior technology via suspected city lights on other planets, surmised star enclosing Dyson spheres, and the other ethereal what-not revealed by our telescopes!

Ok... stop. Walk with us a moment in a relevant gear switch... Remember that old black and white movie from the fifties, "The Thing From Another World"? 

Oh sure, the alien was here to drink our blood (did we know that for certain? ...Mmmmmno!), a clear and present danger it would seem, but... remember the lead Einstein-like scientist Dr. Arthur Carrington (played by the wholly convincing Robert Cornthwaite) wanting to try to make nice with the alien, and actually wholly convincing as its advocate! He'd orate "a stranger in a strange land and beset upon violently by the inhabitants of that land at the start, put yourself in its shoes... " he pleaded. We paraphrase the good doctor, but the seasoned reporter Ned Scott, said he "could get a million bucks for him, if he was for sale"! ...Highly regarded.

Oh sure... the good doctor grew a platoon of the alien spawn himself, and even sabotaged the generator keeping everyone warm and acting as a weapon against the beast at the film's denouement... all in an attempt to intelligently communicate gainfully with the alien... ...but did you ever wonder why they bailed him out at film's end? There was no discussion, and then the act was even congratulated at the film's conclusion.

The aforementioned Newspaper reporter is finally able to report his astonishingly fearful story to the world, and he intones into his microphone "...Ned Scott reporting... Watch the skies! Keep watching the skies"! ...But before that? 

He reports to the planet that the world-renowned Dr. Carrington is recovering from injuries sustained in the struggle with the alien, and the film's male lead's top side-kick clearly says, "Good for you, Scotty." The agreement is total. Remember all the scientists sitting around minus the military guys discussing the seed pods in the alien arm? They were all down with Dr. Carrington... even keeping knowledge of the baby aliens a secret from the military until Carrington's secretary ratted them out? They'd had different thoughts on the matter, 

Why did the doctor get the pass, even on his apparent betrayal of humanity? He was forgiven, reader, along with his fellow scientists because they knew that when all was said and done, he was a brilliant man only trying to see further down the road than everyone else, distracted as they were by their more apparent immediate concerns. He proved that at the film's end, confronting the alien directly with a further impassioned and personal plea of fellowship and cooperation...

"I’m your friend. I have no weapons. I’m your friend. You’re wiser than I. You must understand what I’m trying to tell you. Don’t go farther. They’ll kill you. They think you’ll harm us. But I want to know you, to help you. Believe that. You’re wiser than anything on Earth. Use that intelligence. Look and know what I’m telling you. I’m not your enemy. I’m a scientist who’s trying –"

...before it viciously side-armed him into an icy wall... "...these humans have made their beds," it may have thought. 



See, "Carrington" was right, correct, and suspected true... and, in our imaginations? The characters of the film may have had to endure 72 future years of quarantine as a result of their actions... as we, perhaps, have?

Read on!
