As a sort of hilarious irony, in a fishbowl sort of way, this thread's devolution proved its topic.
The secret to control systems is, perhaps, not about who is most subtle or who is most informed, who is most secret or who is most technologically advanced, but rather, about who has the most available time on their hands.
Eventually one or more parties just dog it to exhaustion and everyone else gives up. The players take over the existing systems begun by and originally maintained by 'the people' who just don't want to put in the required time and focus it would take to try and track it all, let alone call the players on everything. At that point it becomes more the game of the players, and all participation is reframed toward and/or for the new context/players.
And thousands of years -- er, hundreds of pages -- later, nobody remembers what things were originally about anyway. The only story passed down is a title, a sentence, a few excerpts, and nobody but archivists with a lot of reading time would see history, let alone understand it.

Vallee talks so much about UFOs in terms of some kind of “social phenomena”. I could really get with that. Then he goes on to talk the same old control power trip that always leads me to seeing him as the sorcerers apprentice. But in 2014 the sorcerers apprentice is the wise scientist like him and the sorcerer is the government. He disappoints me when he veers to that angle seemingly all the time.
Vallee talks about Buddhism: the practitioners of this form of metaphysics gain real power through passivity or yin not yang.
Alien
Ali yin
The word ALI means most high
We know what Yin means
ALIYIN
This kind of philosophy, Buddhist, Taoist gains power through not only yin energy but by integration and the opposite to this or negative energy is separation and out of balance yang energy, the essence of the sorcerers on the planet
Vallee cant go down that road because he is so connected to the gov control apparatus who don’t want to be challenged in this regard…they want to keep their weapons of mass destruction and energy of ultimate destruction: nuclear energy and power.
Yin energy is vital because the over indulgence of yang energy
