			Eliminating 
			The "Troublemaker" Gene 
			
			Not all alien megapopulations are alike. Some, like the Verdants, 
			may be more coldly controlling than others.
 
			Verdants and IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of 
			Sovereign Planets) aliens have argued that they offer greater 
			networks and benefits, more scientific aid than is
			available to smaller alignments or independents. Meanwhile, 
			independent populations argue that independents who 
			do their own research are more rigorously responsible for their 
			science, although their awareness may be relatively limited. In some 
			cases, independents reportedly trade with other planets in order to 
			meet certain needs.
 
			  
			Eventually, of course, they’re drawn into larger 
			networks of interaction. 
			Presumably like other megapopulations, Verdants genetically engineer 
			IFSP populations to have larger brains, better disease or radiation 
			resistance, and so forth. Some of the IFSP’s gray aliens have even 
			been fitted with electronic implants in their brains, ostensibly for 
			security and communications reasons. However, using more advanced 
			technology, Verdants can probably track or psychotronically 
			influence implanted grays if they want to, which raises an important 
			question:
 
				
				Are some genetic and other 
				alterations designed to make a given people easier to manage and 
				control? 
			The question is especially relevant 
			here, on Earth. The IFSP is now so deeply immersed in an abduction 
			and breeding program here that abductees have been told they can be 
			used for reproductive purposes because they "belong to" the 
			abductors. (Jacobs,
			
			Secret Life, p. 128) 
			 
			  
			
			Richard Boylan, who 
			considers himself the IFSP’s leading "Councillor of Earth,"
			wrote me 
			that the given aliens did genetic improvements of humankind in the 
			past, hence they have a right to intervene here because 
			they "own" 
			us. Those were literally his words. 
			In a similar vein, 
			Whitley Strieber once noted that his abductors’ 
			main fear was human independence. Other abductees cite the 
			abductors’ plan to control Earth after an escalated crisis of some 
			sort.
 
			  
			Abductee Reshma Kamal told David Jacobs that a late-stage 
			hybrid (who looks nearly human) explained about his aliens:  
				
				"And he’s saying all they’re 
				interested in, that no matter what happens at all, is that they 
				control."  
				
				(The Threat, p. 250) 
			But why would a megapopulation want to 
			control other populations? 
			Control allows them to quickly replace old ideas and conventions 
			with the megapopulation’s preferences. Such people are easier to 
			assimilate and their planet’s resources easier to make use of, 
			afterwards. From the Verdant perspective, populations dispute less 
			among themselves when a more advanced authority is in control. But 
			how much "control" are we talking about?
 
			  
			Reshma Kamal was told that 
			after the aliens get their way here, on Earth, the abductors will 
			have total control and national governments won’t be necessary 
			because there will be  "one system" with "one goal."
			  
			Of course, the more drastic a target population’s predicament (i.e. 
			post-apocalyptic grays), the more quickly they can be altered and 
			assimilated, which suggests that some regime-minded megapopulations 
			may actually prefer to provoke escalated disasters on a target 
			planet. It’s a risky strategy because target populations can be 
			sharply critical of alien colonizers. They may be reluctant to give 
			up their independence, irrespective of the inducements.
 
			Sometimes, a target people’s own colonial history will have been 
			repressive. So, why would they trust an alien colonizer? Perhaps 
			they don’t, in some cases. Perhaps it’s desperation that leads some 
			into the fold.
 
			More chilling still, are indications that Verdants may actually try 
			to eliminate other aliens’ genes for emotion and sensitivity, genes 
			that might otherwise cause them to criticize Verdants or dispute 
			further takeovers. If there were too much empathy and sensitivity in 
			their genetic makeup, IFSP aliens might rebel at the conflicts and 
			atrocities that Verdant breeding program operatives cause on target 
			planets (i.e. those allegedly schemed by the IFSP’s "direct 
			operatives" here, on Earth). Humans who might question whether this 
			actually happens need to remember: the IFSP is a large aggregate 
			that has a long history of such doings. They admit to it.
 
			So, in order to reduce tensions within the IFSP, are the genes for 
			troublemaking simply eliminated?
 
			To do so would pose a different kind of danger, of course. On the 
			one hand, if certain genes are eliminated a target population may be 
			less war-like, less violent. They can be more easily controlled. On 
			the other hand, however, if they’re too easily controlled they may 
			sit passively and watch while wars are provoked among a target 
			people and crises are manipulated for advantage during subsequent 
			takeovers.
 
			  
			Some genetically altered aliens may be less capable of 
			the empathy and outspokenness needed to protest manipulated crimes 
			against humanity or other target peoples. Cold, genetically modified 
			aliens may feel less need to speak out against Verdant predations, 
			both within the IFSP and against future target planets.  
			Evidence for this is seen in abductee reports about aliens who 
			inflicted great pain as if to condition them, and aliens who watched 
			while a dazed adult human was forced to rape an adolescent female 
			abductee, apparently as part of an experiment. 
			(Secret Life, p. 
			203-4)
 
			  
			The IFSP’s use of girls as young as age 11 for reproduction 
			purposes is further evidence of emotional disconnect. Non-IFSP 
			aliens allege much worse, i.e. the many crimes against humanity 
			attributed to the IFSP’s "direct operatives."  
			Of course, IFSP aliens say their work introduces humans to higher 
			order community of mind, a deeper sentience, yet non-IFSP aliens 
			suggest that the IFSP isn’t yet a community of mind but is, instead, 
			a psychotronically-policed empire, of sorts. So, we see the irony of 
			highly intelligent, seemingly peaceful aliens who have been altered 
			so that they can quietly, obediently create and infiltrate direct 
			operatives onto a target planet to orchestrate epic crimes in the 
			name of the alignment’s expansion, which they rationalize as an 
			overall improvement.
 
			Meanwhile, internal IFSP propaganda isn’t about takeovers and 
			manipulated conflicts. Instead, a target population is first 
			stigmatized as primitive or dangerous, external to the IFSP, before 
			breeding and manipulated conflicts programs are begun to "pacify" 
			them. Internal IFSP discussions about such policies can be made to 
			sound quite wholesome, from such perspective.
 
			To a certain extent, lesser IFSP aliens can be selectively bred so 
			that they will say little about atrocities and corruptions caused by
			IFSP operatives on successive target planets. Verdants claim to have 
			eliminated bad genes in order to improve the constitution of such 
			aliens, yet after more than 100 million years of interventions Verdants know how to locate, identify, and eliminate or alter those 
			"troublemaker" genes that can be so unsettling.
 
			The end result can be a disaster in some respects: inwardly 
			repressed and compliant subordinate aliens who don’t quite feel the 
			pain and horror of a target population. And, by keeping the train of 
			genetic "improvements" ever in motion among lesser member 
			populations, when discontent arises Verdants can step in and tinker 
			with troublesome genes.
 
			Abductee Andrea told Dr.
			John Mack about the emotional sterility of 
			her abductors.
 
				
				"They’ve lost their home inside themselves… they’ve 
			evolved to something that’s not quite right, that has something 
			lacking. Their heart centers are not as open as they should be. They 
			have a feeling level that they’ve bred out."  
				
				(Passport to the 
			Cosmos)  
			Other abductees say alien females who work in 
			nurseries raising babies harvested from abductees are coolly 
			mechanical and don’t handle the babies affectionately. The emotional 
			sterility of such aliens is oft-noted in abductee reports.  
			Some humans say abducting aliens study them, curious about human 
			feelings that they, themselves, seem to lack. One human-alien hybrid 
			told abductee Reshma Kamal that he feels like a robot.
 
			  
			When Reshma 
			asked whether the hybrid had at least some feelings, the hybrid 
			replied,  
				
				"Even if I had those emotions, what good are they because 
			nothing will happen? We’re just here to do work…"  
			Looking at his 
			alien superiors, the hybrid said,  
				
				"We have to do everything they 
			say…. It’s just like they’re in total control of everything."  
				(The Threat, p. 170) 
			So how do such aliens rationalize what would, to us, seem to be an 
			oppressive abuse of others’ sensitivities?  
			  
			Since
			
			the "three 
			ellipticals" faction of hyperversals and their hybrid intermediaries 
			became more voluble in 2005, in my case, IFSP aliens have 
			communicated less, except when stimulated to do so. They’ve been 
			pre-empted. Aliens of the "three ellipticals" faction say that 
			overly emotional tendencies are eliminated to prevent conflicts and 
			maintain order. Although they try to be subtle about it, their 
			emphasis is clearly on security. They give out other messages about 
			effectively managing various populations in order to prevent 
			violence and enforce the larger ecology.  
			Of course, competing aliens (and some hyperversals) argue that when 
			a population has the requisite science, they may decide to 
			genetically improve themselves and shouldn’t necessarily be 
			compelled to do so. Implicit within the perspective is the 
			assumption that one alien group or another will either help, or 
			provoke an emerging population to get it right.
 
			Already, at this early stage in human-alien relations we can see a 
			distinct pattern. At some point, technology began to distort some 
			aliens’ social relations. Rather than pace their societies according 
			to planetary ecology, conformity and curiosity plus a desire to 
			compete with other worlds caused some aliens to take the natural 
			ecology for granted.
 
			  
			Technology bred a desire for mastery and 
			control. Weapons were developed and large-scale rivalries became 
			troublesome, so various larger regimes attempted to exert control 
			over other aliens. There have been varying degrees of this, ranging 
			from more loosely structured, smaller associations to seemingly 
			absolutist arrogations on a multi-galactic scale. Aliens who 
			are 
			conditioned to think they must intervene elsewhere to maintain order
			won’t ask your permission before they do so.  
			Technology and regime one-ness of mind have stifled the ability of 
			some aliens to think independently. Like the IFSP’s gray aliens, 
			they may say that they are only "shells," in a sense, of the larger 
			whole. Social identity is certainly more advanced than detachment, 
			but the ability to exercise critical judgment has been impaired in 
			some cases. When opportunities arise, the dominant aliens of an 
			alignment may prefer to eliminate too much emotion in other aliens, 
			rather than too little.
 
			Consequently, there are cascading misjudgments when the regime 
			turns its attentions elsewhere. Emergent populations are hailed as 
			bad examples, some planets destroyed during psychotronic 
			propaganda-driven interventions. Complicating such situations are 
			larger rivalries and fatal ironies that arise when one rigidly 
			structured misconception compounds another.
 
			  
			The result can be a 
			mismatch between the delicate, naturally evolved reality of an 
			emergent biome and the policies of an intervening regime. In some 
			cases, genetic modifications lead to infirmities: elimination of 
			vital genes, greatly extended lifetimes that lead to coldly 
			indifferent geriatric conditions. Alien technology can fix body 
			wounds but can’t repair the withered sensitivities of regime-minded 
			sociopaths.  
			Among misguided hyperversal sections, we’ve seen how easy it is for 
			some to simply ignore the consequences of bad policy. Instead, a 
			doting or indifferent hyperversal may suffer a kind of hyperplexity: 
			the desire to know more, travel more, and do more on a grander scale 
			than other aliens (which is something of an irony, given hyperversals’ need to down-scale).
 
			During interventions where independent critique is most needed, 
			there may be nearly none within an aggregate like the IFSP. Instead, 
			epic crimes are easily rationalized in terms of an idealized (yet 
			incomplete) social whole. Although the most primitive kinds of 
			individuality will long have been replaced by community concerns, a 
			more evolved, next-step kind of critique may have been stifled in 
			the process.
 
			Outwardly, IFSP aliens seem to be immune to doubts and regrets about 
			damage done to humans. According to abductees, grays and other 
			dependents of the IFSP almost never raise objections or protest the 
			IFSP’s manipulated crimes and abductions. Has their ability to do so 
			been genetically marginalized, or is the IFSP so controlling and 
			hierarchical that they fear to cause trouble, in the first place?
 
			  
			In 
			my own case, I’ve noted resonant gray concern about what happened to 
			
			their original planet and could also happen here, but it’s cautious 
			and minimal, possibly for fear of the Verdants.  
			Finally, did Verdants eliminate certain genes for emotion in 
			themselves, or was that done long ago by yet another population?
 
			Hopefully, our native alien neighbors have done a better job of 
			preserving critical judgment and sensitivities than have IFSP 
			aliens. One hyperversal alien noted a kind of "unformed quality" in 
			IFSP aliens, a lack of rigorous critique, which can be a handicap.
 
			Meanwhile, IFSP (Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign 
			Planets) aliens say that we can neither appreciate their 
			motives nor the kind of life they lead until we’ve actually lived 
			within and have become part of their kind of group identity. In 
			Verdant minds, reportedly, we’re all scheduled to be discontinued, 
			replaced by Verdant and gray-engineered prototypes via their 
			breeding program.
 
			But how do they think to accomplish that? So far, IFSP aliens 
			haven’t divulged specifics. They may fear the response that might 
			elicit from the human majority.
 
			The IFSP’s potentially biased kind of genetic engineering has led to 
			a new category of phenomena that we must now study, new 
			psychodynamics and susceptibilities that may pose obstacles to an 
			equal, legally-protected order in this part of the universe. 
			Deliberate dulling of alien sensitivities can be dangerous. It leads 
			to situations in which mass crimes can be committed with little or 
			no resistance.
 
			Imagine how it is to be an IFSP alien:
 
				
				When faced with the loss of 
			career, medical and highly technological life-support options for 
			having objected too firmly to the abuse of another people, how many 
			lesser aliens will feel it’s safe to take on the entire Verdant 
			bureaucracy?  
			Such abuses can only erode democratic rights and the equal 
			consideration for all peoples. Situations will arise in which 
			intelligent, technological target populations are regarded as little 
			more than animals. That, in itself, poses a new category of bias and 
			discrimination: a specious disdain that’s analogous to racism.  
			At present, such issues are germane to informed discussion of human 
			contacts with other peoples. Basic rights and protections must be 
			preserved before they are drastically compromised, unaware to the 
			human majority. While we’re still able to do so, we need to raise 
			such issues explicitly.
 
			Some aliens regard such concerns as a breath of fresh air in what 
			can, at times, seem to be a stifling and unfair 
			 
			
			exopolitical environment.
 
			  
			Ultimately, our finest contributions may 
			have to do with human creativity, human rights, and
			the independent, critical judgment of our best legal reasoning.
