Greetings Earthlings!

I come in Peace. These words may seem run of the millenium to most and a tired cliche but they should be front and foremost in the hearts and minds of all Terrans.
The world seems to be going to heck in a humvee. Acid rain, ultraviolet radiation, smog, greenhouse gases and politicians have been allowed to run amok, unchecked until it now seems impossible to reverse the damage that has been inflicted upon our gracious Gaia. The Horsemen are upon us as war, famine and pestilence scour humanity. As easy it is to shed crocodile tears for man-unkind we have brought these scouges upon ourselves. 'Love thy neighbor' has given way to' good fences make good neighbors' and those same fences ecourage the NIMBY principle. As the world has technically dwindled to a 'global village', prejudice, bigotry, racism and hate have risen to be the leviathan that guard our greed-locked gates.
There is no arguing that for the common man resistance is futile. Cabals, cliches and corporations conspire to dominate us all. Their heartless manipulations of mankind are of the cruelest design since God and Satan set out to test Job. The Carlyle Group, The Bildenbergers, Big Oil, Big Army, masons, Templars and Toys 'R' Us are our puppetmasters. Choose your poison but make sure it wasn't made in China...it may have lead in it! The common man seems powerless but it is we who have allowed these 'powers that be' to 'be'. We've sold our souls for the price of a plastic bag and willingly let our sons and daughters fill their body bags. Its all been done for God and country and we have appeased lest we be labelled unpatriotic infidels.
Well we now seem to be at a time of convergence. Nostrodamus, Edgar Cayce, Mother Shipton, The Mayan Calendar, The List of St. Malachy, The Biblical prophecies (especially those of Lucia of Fatima) are but a few of the signs of confligration that are bottle-necking toward us. Bush and Bin Laden. Gog and Magog. Say your prayers and make your peace. The only hope seems to be that in the history of civilization there has never been a society that has not believed that their time was the 'End - Time'. Unfortuneatly, just because it hasn't happened is no protection from the fact that it could happen. We are armed to the teeth and we are at each others throats. No society before us has had our capacity to finish the job...
If you look at the evidence it appears that this is not the first time that mankind has teetered on the brink and that if we destroy ourselves that would not be a first either. Ancient texts are filled with advanced technological references and tales of war-fare on Earth, in the skies and between the Gods all laughed off as mythology. There are those who very reasonably and learnedly believe that we were those Gods and that we have now only re-achieved the advancements in Civilization we once enjoyed. Those who don't learn from the lessons of History are doomed to repeat them. So, it seems, we are now where we were then...on the abyss.
Here we sit waiting for ALF, E.T. or Mork from Ork to save us though we hardly seem deserving of such a Cosmic bail-out. If its not too late we should look only to ourselves for salvation. So I say to you all and I hope you feel the same..." I come in Peace".
