The Verdants

10. - Our Pending Merger with Andromeda

According to astronomers, in the not-too-distant future - some 3.5 billion years hence, the Milky Way and its sister spiral galaxy, Andromeda, will merge together to form a large elliptical galaxy like Centaurus A.

At present the Milky Way and Andromeda approach one another at the same rate that a smaller galaxy, the Large Magellenic Cloud, recedes from the Milky Way. So, aliens of the Milky Way and Andromeda face a future crisis if they don't reduce
their populations over time.

Some planets will die due to their closeness to the newly-formed giant elliptical galaxy's hot center. Scientists say that in a large elliptical galaxy, you could read a newspaper at night by the starlight. Other planets will be obliterated by a violent hypernova when the two galaxies' central black holes merge. Some stars and planets will move out to a more habitable distance near the merged galaxy's central dust-lane perimeter (if one develops there, of course).

In short, there won't be as many habitable planets then. So, residents of the two galaxies must be extra careful to limit their numbers and make sure that newly-evolved species like our own do likewise. This is a critical consideration for all of the human future.

Over billions of years we may intermix with other alien populations in search of a common solution. Of course, it's possible that the newly merged galaxy will face a shortage of habitable planets for some 10-100 million years, after which time an abundance of light and terra-forming may allow at least some compensation.

Nonetheless, the Verdant incursion upsets the apple cart in our vicinity.

Verdants apparently failed to manage their affairs according to larger supercluster norms. As a result, we, the populations of neighboring galaxy groups, now face the consequences. The Verdant-gray abduction and breeding program may be a threat to our basic, independent sovereignty, if not our galactic ecology. Ironically, the Verdants don't appear to be a case of unavoidable need. Instead, they seem to spread for reasons of power and control, to please themselves and perpetuate an elitist lifestyle.

Meanwhile, they play to the crowd by saying that they enforce a universal ecology and a ban on weaponization of interstellar space. In reply, their critics argue that a population of 500 trillion Verdants may be the worst kind of ecological violator and that Verdant interventions prematurely militarize some evolving worlds.

One alien of a more advanced "hyperversal" origin offered further information on the subject. He (definitely a male) said that, at present, Verdant federation affiliates number "less than .01 percent" in Andromeda (less than one in 10,000 of the populations there).

If true, the report, which was witnessed by numerous humans, means that our sister spiral Andromeda has successfully repelled the Verdant incursion by collectively informing emergent populations about the Verdant population/resource problem. Given that we're due to merge with Andromeda, the Milky Way is probably also organized to limit Verdant planet taking here, also.

* Various native Milky Way and other aliens report that such is the case - again, with a tone of urgency re our predicament.
 

The Verdant case is but one example of the risks involved in a sexual reproduction strategy.

There are undoubtedly others. Although we humans have no choice in our own reproductive strategy at present, we may opt for a mixed strategy in the future: partly cloned and party sexual in order to maintain our physical stamina and a diverse gene pool, as some aliens advise.

Aliens offer commentary on the subject regularly. In a sense, religious beliefs about separating sexual urges from our higher analytical faculties may have a universal basis. Aliens suggest that we should at least parallel our thinking in terms that are higher dimensional and non-sexual if we want to know what is going on among the more advanced communities surrounding us.

One group of what might be called "hard-line" hyperversal aliens (security service types who sometimes resonate in terms of the Verdant role in limiting other populations' growth) argues that humans may have to be manipulated toward non-sexual alternatives. At times, their position suggests that there is a frustrated, large-scale effort to tend to both the Verdant problem and other challenges to the older, more established ecology.

Within the Verdant structure, itself, the attitude is essentially holier-than-thou, albeit not at all religious, in that Verdants appear to have managed the history of the gray population to make the grays non-sexual and passively obedient. In fact, quite a bit of chatter surrounds the subject.

Verdants sometimes boast of the accomplishment, as if to rationalize their own reproductive excess in terms of having compelled lesser aliens to humble themselves. Verdants tend to argue that their intervention here can be excused in terms of a need to move humans toward non-sexual alternatives.

In a larger sense, this suggests that Verdants may point to our future Milky Way-Andromeda merger as being a potential risk to our neighbors, i.e. M-33, Andromeda's closer (than the Milky Way) spiral sister galaxy. Verdants will likely try to gain positions in other galaxies by opening up with a technology trading scheme, and then promising to help protect them against our possible incursion 3.5 billion years in the future.

Other aliens advise that humans have plenty of time to consider various options within our currently crowded galaxy, given that we haven't yet mastered the basics of genetic engineering.

I should also note that in the summer of 2005 one hyperversal alien said that planets in an large elliptical galaxy can be lush biological beauties because there is so much light. So, once a manageable order has been achieved in a merging elliptical, living planets can evolve yet more greenly and excess light can be averted using planetary-scale, electrogravity shielding (which is Δt expensive, of course).

So, let's try to put all of this in a larger context.

Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace (c. 1994) discusses astronomer Nikolai Kardashev's categorization of civilizations as follows:

• a Type I civilization controls the resources of an entire planet (weather and earthquake control, plus exploration of an entire solar system)

• a Type II civilization controls and directly uses the power of its sun; it begins to colonize nearby star systems

• a Type III civilization controls and uses the power of an entire galaxy

The Verdants, like other advanced mega-populations, verge on a Type III status, but there's a fly in the ointment.

Negative energy dynamics suggest that an overuse of electrogravity by too many planets would marginally speed the clock on surrounding galaxies and deplete their energy lifetime. In the Verdant case, this poses a conundrum - with large-scale political implications.

For purposes of routinely informing the human community, a native Milky Way mega-population ("38 trillion" members, plus others in coalition) has explicitly demonstrated that they have a galaxy-wide system of towers on opposite sides of various planets.

This was (remotely) shown to humans in the context of a galaxy-wide collective security arrangement, with a warning that "federation aliens" may try to compete with, or violate the system. The towers were also reported by professionally trained human remote viewers in Jim Marrs' book Alien Agenda.

Apparently, the purpose of such a system is to gain a wider spread of technological installations in order to focus electrogravity for travel, communications, and more. The system has been described as though it is open to human integration within a galaxy-wide convention, presumably in order to avoid the strain on resources that would arise were there a redundancy of such systems.

Other aliens' discussions about the given mega-population suggest that some native populations remain independent of the coalition, yet nonetheless ascribe to a larger collective security convention integrating most of the galaxy's native populations.

For those who've read Dr. Edgar "Rothschild" Fouche's reports about a US black budget craft called the TR-3B (which is controlled by a narco-dealing sub-regime within the US), a wide spread of electrogravity technology like that of the towers is a familiar theme.

The triangular-shaped TR-3B (click images left) reportedly uses a rapidly rotating torus of super-conducting mercury plasma that circles the widest possible radius within the craft. As it rotates due to magnetic induction, the plasma is electromagnetically activated to move in a spiraling pattern, which induces a negative energy gradient as it spirals - providing the lift for the TR-3B.

Unlike the old, potentially dangerous antimatter reactor that Bob Lazar says he studied after it was taken from a downed gray alien craft, the TR-3B avoids the "element 115" reactor element, presumably the explosive antimatter danger also.

According to former Air Force careerist Charles Hall, an alien population called "the tall whites" has been granted a small base in the southeast corner of Nellis Air Force range (Nevada) and has helped the US shadow regime develop nuclear thrusters, which don't provide the lift but merely move the TR-3B laterally at low altitudes.

In three books written on the subject, Hall meticulously details how, for years, he interacted at close range with the tall whites on the Nellis range under the direction of a four star Air Force general, who reportedly allowed the tall whites to kill US airmen if they frightened the tall whites by approaching them.

Hall reports that when problems arose, the tall whites had a direct line to the general in the Pentagon!

If true, Hall's story about the tall whites would be yet another example of how the US shadow regime has been compromised by allowing the presence of what some indications suggest may be IFSP aliens.

The tall whites look exactly like humans but are taller, with large wrap-around eyes and pale white skin. Tall whites claim to be an independent population that just happens to look like we do---an unlikely irony, given what we know about biological diversity. The tall whites appear to have been engineered, perhaps by the IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets), to be used for an alternative approach to the US military-industrial complex.

Neither the TR-3B, nor the so-called TAW-50 (reportedly a more advanced US shadow regime craft) are capable of nearly instantaneous, alien-like travel to other stars. To tall white aliens, who reportedly helped develop such craft, they are easily exceeded trinkets.

The fact that a narco-funded US cabal has control of such technology may seem advantageous to IFSP aliens, given that such humans commit crimes without restraint and are so deeply compromised that they can be manipulated with ease. By conceding minor technological improvements to black budget insiders, the tall whites may intend to foster dependency and intellectual laziness among humans in order to fortify entrenched criminal tendencies. The question would be: why?

By assuring that elite human sectors are both corrupted and infiltrated via the breeding program, the IFSP appears to be doing an Orwellian kind of prep work, to be followed by further manipulations that humans wouldn't publicly agree to.

As Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs PhD suggest, the abductors' intervention has been allowed to proceed far beyond what was originally surmised. However, don't expect an admission from within the US government in this regard. Pride and greed have gained the upper hand there, for the moment.

Like the Milky Way mega-population's wide spread between towers, the TR-3B is reportedly more effective when its torus circles a wide radius because greater radius allows it to utilize a greater negative energy expanse in the empty space across the radius. This implies that electrogravity "lift" can be produced by varying the negative energy gradient across the empty space within the central radius of the torus, allowing for a deeper integration into the "negative cycle" that Elder aliens talk about.

The larger the expanse of empty space across the torus' central radius, the finer and tighter is the negative energy gradient used for electrogravity, which is consistent with quantum cosmology (wherein the larger and more cosmic the phenomena, the more tightly it can be linked to sub-quantum phenomena).

Why do I mention this? Because one of the Verdants' main intentions in expanding their colonial outposts may be to widen the spread of their electrogravity installations - their own system of towers, for energy purposes and more.
 

This could pose a threat to other galaxies for two reasons.

• One, Verdants may try to use such advantage to thwart other galaxies' technology networks in the event of disagreements.

• And, two, Verdants are apparently expanding into other galaxies in order to satisfy the Verdants' overpopulated, high-energy lifestyle.

Verdant energy needs may now exceed those described in Kardashev's Type III category, causing Verdants to marginally tap into the negative energy cycle of surrounding galaxies.

I've remotely probed onboard Verdants for their perspective on M-83's neighbor galaxy, N-4945 (click image right) - a spiral that's nearly as big as M-83, and have repeatedly noted a smug fixation on the fact that Verdants have affiliates and installations spanning part of N4945's curvature.

However, if I'm not mistaken, non-IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets) aliens comprise the larger part of N4945's populations.

Probing of the sort relies on a mixed convergence of other aliens' awareness, plus a non-local information quality that "spools out," as the Verdants say, between all of the places to which Verdants and other aliens have traveled. Probing also relies on the prober's ability to gather information from unsuspecting Verdants.

This is all done in accordance with a universal transparency regarding cases of the sort. (see my later section on how to locate aliens and "see" their electrogravity networks)

In short, the Verdants may be our first clear example of a population that intrudes on other galaxies for energy/resource purposes and intimidates populations who might criticize the way that Verdants speed the energy clock on other galaxies due to Bearden's Δt effect surrounding the use of electrogravity.

There's abundant evidence that Verdants try to stifle criticism of Verdant activities. I've personally witnessed this many times, but there is an ironic twist in such doings.

As is described below, when a given Verdant attempts to stifle other aliens within the IFSP, the act can also impair the given Verdant. Worse yet, Verdant tendencies of the sort may jeopardize Verdant relations with more advanced, hyperversal aliens, the consequences of which the Verdants don't fully realize at this relatively early time in their evolution (when compared to hyperversals).

After years of experience with Verdants and their associates, along with other humans I've sometimes noted a marginally hypnotic immobilization of thought among wary Verdants. Stemming from what may originally have been a quiet sense of observation, we see that, instead, Verdants who want to stifle criticisms do so by telepathically manifesting repeated, dogmatic message content.

Such messages are subtly fractioned, yet are repeated in a marginally hypnotic way in order to silence others. Verdant technological and information predominance is posed heavy-handedly in order to humble other onboard aliens and condition the context in which any criticisms might arise. At times, this reminds me of the pushiness of small town squires (in the larger supercluster context).

Ironically, a similar kind of thought control appears to be used by older, more hardened Verdants who, after years of mind-numbing routines, need to obscure the ugly character of their work in order convince female Verdants of their sexual compatibility.

That is a kind of gratification through intellectual stultification, and raises questions about the corrupt use of psychotronic technology toward such ends.

Verdant thought control of the sort may stem, in part, from the Verdant government's sense of right and wrong re its policies and may touch upon considerations that arise in psychotronic thought monitoring, plus psychotronic methods that are used to stifle "bad" thoughts in criminal offenders.

The following may sound weird, but I've observed it many times in testy interactions with Verdants:

In basic negative energy terms, a given Verdant will destructively interfere certain brain frequencies in order to electrogravitically/fractionally "freeze" the commingled energies of a telepathic/psychotronic conversation with another alien or human, inadvertently freezing his or her own thought and sentience in order to project electrogravitically fractioned message content.

 

This is akin to doping another person in order to influence him or her, and is supposed to be subtle but isn't.

As a result, normally scientific Verdants make basic, avoidable mistakes.

They fail to distinguish between the observer (the Verdant individual) and the more universal terms of the observation. Instead, a fractioned jumble of internal messages distort the manipulator's ability for clear, dispassionate observation.

Coupled with a "freeze" on sentience, plus a dessication of emotion that occurs in very long-lived Verdants, the result can be both ugly and prejudicial. In the worst cases, such conditioning can affect the reasoning of more than one observing Verdant. It becomes a group-think phenomenon, which can lead to coldly impersonal bullying and stifled, if not mousy conformity.

Under such circumstances, seemingly tangential psychological distortions can aggravate the given Verdant(s) intellectual disconnect, causing a self-hypnotic stilling of more complex considerations. Unresolved emotional conflicts tend to surface at such times.

In basic negative energy terms, this can manifest as negatively-cycled insecurity or bias, both among, and between like-minded Verdants, a potential barrier to clear-headed analysis. Such moments underscore non-IFSP aliens' warnings that the social psychology of some aliens hasn't necessarily paralleled their technological advancements.

In order to prevent a victim's discovery of Verdant mind manipulation of the sort, a Verdant may try to distort the circumstance by introducing aggravating distractions to throw the victim off. I've encountered this many times, and it can be most annoying.

Some humans are easily duped this way because psychotronically recorded samples of the victim's past thoughts can be replayed to confuse the human, however jarring and out of place such thoughts may seem, at the moment. This type of behavior is but one kind of diversion intended to frustrate a target people's ability to defend themselves against an alien intervention.

Such doings are apparently rationalized in terms of practicality. After all, Verdants are pressured to maintain conformity within their empire so that it functions to their advantage. Other corrupt aliens use the same tactic, which will surely disappoint humans who want to think that advanced aliens would never do such a thing.

Here's a relevant quote reportedly made by a non-IFSP alien critical of such conformity.

"Some collectives… have religious components… Yet we have found with very few exceptions that Collectives consider their own survival and their own structure to be the sole focus of their devotion.

 

Their devotion is almost religious in nature, even though their organizations rarely are."

(from The Allies of Humanity, 2, p. 52).

In other words, an offending collective's marginally political "oneness" of mind can be narrow and domineering, inflexible if not mechanistic. More about this later.

* Readers should remember that a typical alien economy is more equally shared, or collectivized, than that of Earth. Some aliens don't use money, for example. One population, the Elders, say they use energy credits, instead.
 

Grays and other minority aliens in the IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets) sometimes resonate that Verdants do, in fact, try to muffle grays' criticisms within telepathic community interactions.

Part of the problem is due to Verdant presumption of superiority and Verdant desire for strict hierarchical control, part may be due to a given Verdant's sexually-conditioned assumptions as contrasted with those of non-sexual aliens (the universal standard).

In interactions with humans, care must be taken to preserve the anonymity of conscientiously resonating IFSP aliens, given the Verdant disposition. So, protect your sources, should you ever develop any. They're part of a larger web of interactions that outside populations must sometimes work to keep alive and active.

Females, dissidents (who are hard to find outwardly), non-Verdants, and non-sexuals within the IFSP seem to be the best hope for future reforms there.

When a population like the Verdants has outgrown its old, self-boosting propaganda about the need for expansion yet continues to churn out such propaganda rather than reduce population, the recitation of such dogma becomes a kind of "plastic art," in a sense - morbid, if not cultish.

When outright lies become the official party line, subcultures of corruption go unchallenged.

For example, Krapf quotes Verdants as saying that they don't directly intervene in the affairs of a planet like Earth, which appears to be a lie. Some Verdants skilled at deception are clearly promoted within the IFSP's colonial resource sections, while those who would challenge such behaviors can be excluded from decision-making.

The worst part of the Verdant expansion strategy concerns corruptions.

Imagine, for example, the Verdant past:

• Replete with Roman-like cruelties and death squads in the early years, then brutal suppression of individual rights as their empire expanded

• Phases of reform might be followed by nightmarish campaigns of oppression, Big Brother abuses of psychotronic technology, plus a vengeful desire to silence, if not eliminate, those who would challenge the many genocides and terracides manipulated by the IFSP to accomplish its subjugations

Verdants admit to having precipitated the deaths of entire planets, deliberately

Such doings do not make for gentle, open-minded democracy.

Instead, they would lead to further oppression, causing some Verdants to indulge their sexual fantasies while cultivating bizarre extremes of cruelty and corruption on a target planet so that no one on the target planet can ever say,

"Look at the Verdants; they're worse than we are."

Worse yet, by scheming ecological sabotage in order to gain control over target planets, Verdants can dominate the trade in biological materials and tout their biologically lush home planet, "Verdant," as a rare paradise, in contrast to failures like the grays.

To be safe, humans should watch for Verdant attempts to corrupt and sabotage humans on an epic scale, then pretend to save us.

One Verdant told Krapf that that has been the scheme of some past interventions (probably featuring Verdants who suffered a kind of "Munchhausen's syndrome" like that of healthcare workers who poison or injure patients to feel important during a crisis).

* I've witnessed some Verdants behaving in such a manner, here, during their current intervention. Verdants are fallible, prone to age-related psychological conditions that humans are only beginning to understand. Ultimately, due to bureaucratic pressures and the vagaries of empire, Verdants may try to steer human "globalization" toward a criminal empire of deeply infiltrated elites, then drive the demon toward an ecological brink.
 

One can easily imagine what the gray planet was like before it was extinguished. They didn't get those large, dark "underground" eyes through moderation.

Non-IFSP aliens say the grays were infiltrated and driven to desperation. At present, some grays' brains are implanted with electrogravitically-activated semiconductor chips, which Verdants say are used for communications, "defense" and navigation.

However, given their technological superiority, Verdants could remotely activate such chips for Big Brother-like control and monitoring, should they choose to do so. Some grays are dependents and don't criticize the Verdants openly.

The best that they can do is resonate weakly, given their predicament. At times, Verdants appear to abuse the grays' rights and sensitivities to keep them from telling humans that Verdant intervention may have precipitated the death of the once-habitable gray planet.

Through arrogance, reliance on (mediated and cultivated) force and corruptions to get what they want, Verdants appear to have isolated themselves from some of their neighbors.

By infiltrating the human population in order to take advantage of us, and by encouraging crimes of various sorts through remote manipulations and the breeding program, Verdants perpetuate a failure-prone strategy, perhaps a relic of some past Verdant debacle.

Please remember, the Verdants are but one among a vast variety of different populations and are by no means predominant along this side of the Virgo supercluster (click above image), although Verdant propaganda pretends otherwise.

The stated distinction of being "the only" colonizer gives Verdants an excess of resources in the short term but tends to corrupt their lifestyle and decision-making process.

As a result, the Verdant model could easily be a long-term failure. Once a larger collective security arrangement forms to counter the Verdants (the only logical alternative), Verdants won't be able to sustain their wasteful lifestyle. Competing aliens suggest that a collective security convention has already cohered within the galaxy groups of our vicinity.

Competing aliens say that Verdants have squandered vital resources prematurely and may have retarded Verdant evolution by limiting themselves to the cobbling together of disparate, fledgling populations for specious gain. Verdants admit that they've also compromised their own intelligence by reverting to sexuality.

At various intervals, Verdants may have been given the boot, literally escorted out of Virgo supercluster neighborhoods either by a larger collective entity or by Virgo mega-populations. Along with other humans, I've repeatedly tested various Verdants for their memory and perspectives on Virgo. Despite a cool outward posture, such Verdants consistently register fear and caution regarding the larger Virgo entity.

They also register caution and envy regarding more advanced "hyperversal" aliens of much longer duration. Assuming that Verdant adventurers may have been humbled by Virgo (or other) aliens, Verdants could have a grudge motive for expansion here, along Virgo's far edge. Again, from the perspective of the larger non-sexual universal standard, frustrated sexuals like the Verdants can be dangerous.

Over time, the Verdant entity appears to have degenerated into a psychotronically-policed state, a regime that may be incapable of moderating itself.

The Verdant population has grown so large and unwieldy that it's hard for a given Verdant to see the whole, so to speak. Seemingly infantile propaganda and artifice prevail, allowing disparate sub-regimes to use the IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets) format as they choose without adequate law enforcement.

Worse yet are reports that some Verdants rationalize their corruption in terms of different social and legal structures on lesser, non-Verdant conscript planets.

For example, when a large Verdant ship arrives at a place like Earth, the ship is filled with aliens from a variety of IFSP planets. Whose laws prevail under such circumstances?

Given that the craft is far from its legitimate domain, no single population onboard is sovereign, hence a tacit kind of lawlessness can arise. Aging Verdants dwell upon a lack of international and interplanetary law on Earth, while tending to abductions and criminal manipulations that might land a Verdant in jail back on an older Verdant planet.

Here in an alien galaxy, however, Verdants feel free to do as they choose among relatively primitive but exotic humans. Far from the eyes of the Verdant galaxy's authorities, dangerous impulses go unchecked because no one is there to stop them.

Other strains can easily worsen such tendencies. For example, some Verdants may feel regime pressure to use planet Earth to conspicuously prove that Verdants are capable of getting around other mega-populations' collective security arrangements.

Given the larger concern about Verdant greed and population excess, galaxies like the Milky Way must work to prevent Verdants from doing what they appear to have done in the gray case, for example. Few here want a proliferation of hybrid offshoots, coupled with planet-killing excess. Such behaviors tend to militarize, despite the Verdant pretension to do otherwise.

Indeed, Verdants may actually intend to militarize humans by buzzing defense installations, by breeding an obedient client population through abductions, and by worsening other strains among the human population.

Why would they do that?

• First and foremost, to create anti-alien sentiment that would isolate us from friendly neighboring aliens, allowing IFSP aliens to do as they please here.

• Second, a corrupt militarization would make it easier for the IFSP contingent to "rescue" us from pending ecological and resource crises.

• Finally, black budget crimes (murders, laundering of illegal monies into semi-privatized alien-related programs) keep alien issues secret and hide them from more competent global consideration.

The smaller and more corrupt the elite who controls alien issues here, the easier it is for Verdants to keep such issues secret in order to influence their outcome.

Given their technological superiority, Verdants aren't challenged by human defenses, so secrecy allows Verdants to act with near impunity.

Reported Verdant IFSP "direct operatives" placed high within the human economy appear to favor a fast-burn strategy for advancing the IFSP agenda on this planet.

By aggressively monetarizing the economy in favor of predatory, short-term gain, they tilt the economy in favor of ecological ravages and economic disasters among non-industrial nations that depend on predatory lenders, like themselves, for credit. Such an economy is massively destructive because it's premised on a complete fiction: invented monetary numbers that are in no way correlated to competent management of resources.

It's a disastrously unbalanced equation and contributes to failure after failure, worsened living conditions for the more humble majority. This worsens what is known as "the race toward the bottom," as exemplified in IMF and World Bank restrictions on nations that default on loans during the economic crises of "globalization."

Try as they might, such nations can't repay the loans, which force them to raise prices of vital goods and sell off major assets like power, water and land, driving them further into debt and making life almost intolerable at street level. In the end, entire nations are compelled to sign away the right to plant seeds that their ancestors developed, forced to beg for credit so that they can be further compromised by the IFSP's direct operatives (one of whom is the American Borghia, the other a perennial, Federal Reserve-owning schemer in Europe) and other greedy elements.

As a result, the planet is driven toward fast-burn economics that may seem productive to rich investors yet are incompetent in terms of resources. Vital rainforests are destroyed, coral reefs killed, and thousands of square miles of seawater near fertilizer-laden river deltas become milky white dead zones where all fish die for lack of oxygen.

Mass extinctions accelerate, fisheries fail and the planet's biological resources are merely written off as road-kill. Meanwhile, such resources are our only security against the predations of those like the IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets).

Now that terrorism, the most ambiguous of enemies, has replaced communism as the prototypical enemy, we see one, most fateful irony. There is no terrorist government to fight, hence such a "war" can never be won. Instead, a regime of perpetual crisis is propagated, resulting in medieval-like secrecy and rule by corporations, not the people.

As long as such crises are perpetuated, rich nations are afraid to make the compromises necessary to secure a competent, ecological resource strategy. They're afraid to even begin on long-term corrections because that is the work of public government, which requires transparency and accountability.

Solutions of the sort can't be implemented by corporations, which are required by SEC regulations to devote themselves to short-term efficacy, a disastrous, if not universally incompetent kind of economics.

As a result, the direct IFSP operatives' apparent scheme leaves our planet ripe for manipulation. That may be the IFSP's intention. They may want such complications to occur.

Obviously, they don't want humans to organize a healthy, independent alternative to their intervention. Instead, they may want to destabilize humankind through a cascading series of crises that play into the hands of the IFSP, which has already cut various secret deals with a corrupt regime here.

In short, it appears as though we are being set up to suffer the consequences of a fast-burn economy that poses the illusion of productiveness yet is incompetent in terms of resources. Even the US military has warned that global warming will cause an unpredictable security nightmare. On the other hand, if we act to secure our long-term resource future, a more healthy kind of economics will certainly follow.

When seen from above, the IFSP scheme here is easy to see, as are the alternatives - the human solution. However, a solution of the sort can only be achieved by governments, not shortsighted, self-serving corporations.

So, we may now be able to see the IFSP strategy in a nutshell:

• ratchet up the pressure by fueling the fires of a fast-burn economy

• manipulate IFSP operatives into high positions and then exacerbate human crises and conflicts "through sabotage, subterfuge, misdirection, persuasion over great masses of the host populations, and careful manipulation of government policy" (as one Verdant told Krapf in an unguarded moment)

IFSP operatives may push humankind toward a crisis that pits elite actors against elected governments, rich against poor, the technologically advanced against those who still plow their fields with oxen.

In order to achieve their ends, IFSP operatives would have to lurk among the most corrupt of humans.

We, in turn, must learn to sort such persons out carefully. In later chapters, we will discuss good, reliable methods for doing so (knowledge over violence).

Non-IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets) aliens report that the Verdant takeover strategy has failed in some cases. Target planets have opted to remain independent and have sought other relations with their neighbors. So there would be precedent for human exposure of the intervention.

It can't be easy to control a far-flung empire like that of the Verdants. Complications surely arise when Verdants try to shore up IFSP loyalties internally by preventing scattered non-Verdant planets of the IFSP from communicating with their interstellar neighbors.

For example, here on Earth, IFSP aliens like the grays are assigned the busywork of abductions, failed genetic experiments and other manipulations, perhaps to simply occupy their time and keep them from straying from the IFSP fold.

No doubt old Verdant propaganda routines are useful in this regard. However, the more dated and deceptive the propaganda, the worse will be the extinction of sensitivities among Verdants who organize IFSP dirty work here. In the end, such Verdants become coldly detached and skeptical, morbidly ironic.

As a result, human observers hear stilted IFSP propaganda about dangerous primitives and human "evils." Phillip Krapf reports that one Verdant derided some populations of planets killed during the Verdant infiltration phase as little more than "ferocious animals." Meanwhile, such planets reportedly held space-faring peoples who had, by then, developed high technology.

Such reports raise a basic question: Was the original gray population regarded in similarly dehumanizing terms or was the situation more complex, involving Verdant expansion motives, for example? Cold as they may seem, Verdant schemes that kills conscript planets like the original gray world (or Earth) may be seen as smoothing the way for total Verdant control of the vicinity.

By eliminating, or manipulating the elimination of, potential critics, IFSP installations and surrogate populations would largely go unchallenged. In the end, the Verdants expand their electrogravity network.

Along with other humans, I've noted Verdant attempts to cut off interactions between lesser onboard IFSP aliens and native Milky Way aliens. Worse yet, I've noted a boastful, demeaning quality in Verdant remarks about non-IFSP aliens (i.e. the Milky Way mega population of 38 trillion noted above), a kind of Verdant über alles mindset. Non-IFSP aliens have commented on the subject at intervals.

As if to underscore such concerns, highly advanced non-IFSP aliens have pointed out a kind of problem in Verdant and other IFSP aliens' remote sensing (telepathy and remote viewing), largely stemming from the Verdants' frame of mind. For reasons noted above, Verdants are prone to a rational kind of directness, an immediacy that they're not well aware of.

Some Verdants see only what fits into their colonial viewpoint and discard the rest because it doesn't agree with their propaganda. Meanwhile, non-direct, non-"physical" remote sensing (of a more advanced, non-IFSP sort) easily exceeds the angry, overbearing Verdant perspective. It goes right through them in a way that suggests the non-locality of a greater negative energy (or alternative) dynamic.

More advanced aliens keep a distance from Verdant crudeness, hence their extra-dimensional remote sensing (and telepathic) distinctions. Of course, Verdants know about extra-dimensional physics, yet tend to err due to Verdant forwardness, their sexually-related detachment. Apparently, Verdant off-world policy imagines all surrounding affairs as being conditioned by Verdant policy, which radiates outward from the Verdant home planet.

Ironically, a typical Verdant's remote sensing tends to radiate outward also, while more advanced societies on a much larger, collective security scale can sense both inwardly and outwardly, changing perspective nearly instantly and literally changing body in a nearly non-physical sense. Indeed, the challenge for more advanced aliens is to remain humble enough to not be themselves, so much, but be the larger, more varied and sometimes enigmatic (sometimes squalid) commonality, a nearly non-physical entity.

The Verdant case illustrates the fact that some aliens live within larger, multi-planetary collectives, while others, like the Elders, live independently. Nonetheless, independents find it necessary to accord with larger, galaxy-wide ecologies.

For humans, the critical independent message is to not cede Earth's surroundings to a resource-hungry empire like that of the Verdants, to beware IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets) attempts to manipulate humans into ecological desperation.

For Verdants, the lesson to be learned in humankind's preference to remain independent is that the people like us, who live in other galaxy groups, are constrained by different circumstances than those that exist in the Verdant home galaxy.

Although human denial of IFSP ambitions here will initially be seen as a setback for the Verdants, it should eventually be regarded as part of a better ecology along this fringe of the Virgo supercluster.

It should also help Verdants learn to humble themselves and their material ambitions (which aren't moderated at any one time, but are conditioned by a larger succession of planetary evolutions). After all, a higher order of mind is increasingly less "physical" and requires a greater humbling of any and all kind.

Verdants may make last-minute, criminal gestures as their attempt to take over this tiny sector of the Milky Way is exposed and averted. However, no single human has likely harmed a single Verdant, ever. Not one.

Meanwhile, there have been mass human casualties of the IFSP intervention. Verdants have to acknowledge the harm that they've done, along with their claim to have manipulated changes in human society. We now see them, mid-stride, trying to salvage a failing, propaganda-heavy foreign policy. For them, planet Earth is analogous to the US intervention in Vietnam, albeit vastly more distant.

To those who find my criticisms of the abducting alignment sudden, if not harsh, I must caution that I don't portray Verdants as evil or unworthy of consideration. Simplistic ideas of the sort are infantile, in a larger sense. Instead, we must freely discuss the simple, explicit exigencies and complications of certain exopolitical strategies.

The 21^st century must be one of knowledge, rather than uninformed belief and illusion.

In view of the Verdant case, we need to add a Type IV to Kardashev's categories.

• Type IV would be the larger, cosmic commonality, the generic "civilization" of which aliens speak.

• Type IV civilization would utilize negative energy and alternate cycle phenomena in order to reach back, and through all intelligent life forms to preserve the peace and secure the most enduring inter-alien ecology.

• Type IV civilization would be able to exceed technology and begin to inter-dimension within the very nature of the phenomena surrounding us.

Presumably, this would be most noticeable on a galaxy supercluster scale, but would extend into all other, surrounding communities.

In order to secure a peaceful solution to the Verdant case, the supercluster ecology would have to be effected both within the Verdant IFSP, and in all surrounding communities.

Humility and forbearance would be required to achieve a solution.

• Finally, a Type V population would be a population that is so advanced that it is (or was) able to hyper-dimension from a previous universe cycle into the current version using alternative cycle dynamics that can be effected in faster-than-light ways.

• Type V populations would resemble advanced Type IV populations in ways but would be of longer duration and would have a deeper awareness of the larger continuum.

• Some could be so advanced that they inter-dimension with aliens originating among a succession of previous universe cycles.

• Nonetheless, a kind of mortality and a larger, alternate-cycle conservation would be explicit therein.

Inter-dimensioning of the sort would require a sensitivity to collective considerations of various sorts. Why? Because for any population, regardless of their duration and technological level, there are limitations.

Humans aren't the only ones who must adapt to the needs of other kind.
