"Estimates for the total casualties of the war (WWII) vary, but most suggest that some 60 million people died in the war, including about 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians."
Just one question, if I might:
What gives you the hope that the ETs will make it this time around

I think people are missing something here... It's more than likely more about the planet than us. They didnt come last time because we were merely killing ourselves, I would assume it would be very different if we threatened the planet's survival. I hate to say it but I truly dont believe the planet is ours but that we were rather placed here.
This is why they seem to display interest in all things nuclear, planets are owned whereas we just spend a soujourn on them. Considering the amount of time it takes for a planet to develop into something like our earth, I completely understand why another, more advanced species, would do anything to protect it.
Possibly it's exactly what the Monk's are saying, rather than E.T it's actually divine entities, celestial artisans if you will. Afterall, there needs to be a 3 dimensional learning place for all souls to soujorn, one that is based in time as Generation exists in Time, and Qualities in Generation. It is only in Time that we can develop these Qualities through Generations. I doubt the overseers of these "schools" we call a home are going to allow the students to burn it to the ground.

Mass extinctions moving up to the parts of the ecosystem that really matter, such as basic structure species like bats and bees, poisoning the environment with toxins that will last past our current civilization quite likely, introduction of GMO's and other fertility decreasing substances into the environment aggravating the species die off.
Given all that how do the caretaker/observer species prevent the environment collapsing back to the level of mostly just plants, molds, and some insects while not destroying what investment in the human race they and other species have made?

If the world does end up as predicted; on a road to complete and utter destruction, of course I'd hope for ET's to intervene and save us.
However, what I can't help but wonder is.... why would they?
While we aren't always the most civil of creatures, we also aren't still living in caves, running from the shadows and booming thunder from the skies. That implies we have a decent understanding of the world. Not complete or even 'advanced' - just a decent understanding.
We already know what we're doing to our world. We should be able to over come our cultural differences and work together and use new, emerging technologies to help us overcome and work with our planet. Not just for military might or other covert operations to try and rule each other.
And I would guess that said ET's might think, "Well, look at you -- you've fuct it up for yourselves. You all have to live on this planet and you've have a few thousand years of advancing knowledge to try and work together. And even now, when you should know better, you act like you don't and live for individualistic needs. Why should we help you?"
Sorry, a bit pessimitic, I know.
You said :
I just think they are all into this occult stuff, and they just do not tell us, except from a few people who leave now and again.
But to answer your question, they think they are better than us, because yes they do have more power and money than us.

If they are masters of Remote Viewing, why havent they troubled themselves to demonstrate this fantastic ability to the rest of humanity?
Why havent they used it to avoid Hiroshima? Pearl Harbour? 9/11?
Maybe they could let us in on where a certain Osama Bin Laden fellow is hanging out these days?
Why dont they teach other humans to develop this ability, thus ushering a new era of human civilisation?
Why not, indeed.
You said :
Well, anyone who can remote view bin Laden now would only see his long-decomposed body, but that's another discussion...
Is there any documentation of predicting the future among any remote viewers or whomever they're associated with?
