That's a good point GrayFox. I have to agree. What better way for humanity to "Grow Up" than having contact and disclosure that we are not alone in the Universe.
Perhaps we would be a little more self conscious of ourselves on a planetary level and start taking a little more pride in ourselves and clean up our act.
The sooner we all know the "Truth" of our existence and our relationship to those with which we share this experience in the Universe, the sooner we can realize that which we are capable of being.
How can we fully mature as a species if our experience and knowledge has been stunted and misguided with half truths, deception, and ignorance???
Because it might be a challenge-game. What would we learn or gain, how would we grow without a little bit of challenge?
It would cripple us to learn that we cant grow up without mommy/daddy-extraterrestrial.
They want us to grow up on our own, without crutches.
You might have a point with the establilshment wanting to put brakes on our development so that they can keep us enslaved and out-of-contact with the universe...
but this can also be viewed as a challenging game we have to win rather than a conspiracy in which we cry "poor me, poor me".
"Poor me" is not going to get us out of the system.
(im glad you opened this thread though because it raises more interesting questions than "base 1" questions such as "Do ETs exist?")

I also believe a highly developed and a superior enlightened being(s) is going to intervene in a very big way because of the level of deception and corruption is in direct conflict with universal truth- which effects the entire universe in ways which we cannot yet understand. I firmly believe that we are causing universal pain (either intentionally, unintentionally or whatever) and a responsible being will show up to remedy the situation. Annihilation of our species will not be the outcome- I believe it will be a revelation of what is true and is of the greatest benefit to all life and matter in the universe. This will not occur out of any sort of pity.

you spoke about the ant hill,
to communicate with the ants would not be enough to just stand over the hill,
you would have to become an ant to be able to converse with them would you not?

Your thinking like a human, no offense.
Human beings think of things like rogue groups of aliens or evil aliens because we believe that fundamentally all species have the potential for greed.
Greed of course comes from the pursuit of money. As humans, we wrongly assume that everyone uses money. We simply can not fathom a world without money.
Aliens wont use money. They wont even have a word for it. If they had money, they would have war. And war with their kind of technology would equal the end of their civilization.

I like this part. Those who are supposed to be in charge not even knowing whats what anymore. Could very well be. Very interesting statement you made there.

Unless the chaos is intentional as part of a "training-planet" if you know what I mean. Then again, maybe the game has gotten out of control and intervention is near. BUT: Im not as pessimistic as you or most others here. When I look at the universe I see a lot of harmonious order and beauty and hardly any chaos.
