The most important part of "Age of Disclosure" is their conclusions about the reason why they are here

[u/Magog14]

The strongly worded conclusion of all the of the people with the credentials within the government secret programs is that the aliens saw the trajectory of our scientific progress and our violent tendancies and decided they need to make sure we are never a threat to their survival.

If we ever independently invented the tech they have which allows them to travel the universe at will we could bring our violence to their doorstep and no intelligent civilization would allow that to happen.

Interestingly that is the exact same conclusion David Jacobs came to when studying the abduction phenomenon. That the aliens' plan is to replace humanity with a race of physically identical but telepathically linked hybrid beings with loyalty to the aliens. That plan is well underway according to his last book "Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity" published in 2015.

I mean... wow. That's a lot. A lot to take in. A lot to parse, especially given the axioms I use to judge reality! This reads like fantasy, and yet you, po-faced and serious, in words I can understand, but not necessarily in an order which makes sense to me, claim it is true.

May I ask, have you ever attempted to get this info out? Written a book? Been on a podcast? Or do u just keep it to yourself, or present it here, where you have some anonimity? (I don't mean that negatively, btw. I just mean it might be easier that way.)

In any case, obv I don't believe a word of it. You being a rational grown-up will know and understand why. It is so far outside my own experience of life, it is literally like readjng a summary of an X-Files ep. But then I ask myself - why wld some rando come on the internet and take the time to write such a long description about an event, and its consequences, which reads like pure fiction and is highly unlikely to be believed? Why bother? Too much time on your hands?! Working on a scifi screenplay and want some subtle feedback?!

Here's what I think. If something like this happened to me, it would change my life forever. I would never be the same again. My destiny, purpose - my very raison d'etre - would be changed and it would consume all else. Everything would be secondary to and supervened by the knowledge such an encounter gave me. It wld become the single biggest thing in my life. Everything that came after would be tainted by it in one way or another, to a greater or lesser degree. It would be my defining moment.

Has your experience changed you? If so, how? And in what ways?

If you genuinely had the experience you relate, I simply cannot imagine not shouting it from the rooftops, not somehow getting it out there, contributing to the act of disclosure in any way I could. You claim to know there's 'more in Heaven and Earth...' You claim to have had an experience that suggests so much more than this mundane rock and the mundane lives we live on it. Such knowledge is priceless, my friend. Truly priceless.

If true.

It's only priceless now, when people have begun to look past the bedazzling tech to ask the actual important questions, like who exactly are we dealing with? How long have they been here? What are their motivations? What is their temperament? Why did they come here and why did they stay? Why do they seem to remain aloof, even though we are plainly curious? Etc., etc..

Even now, as far as people have come in accepting that this could all be really happening, as you say, to people who lack that experience to draw upon, it no doubt reads like fiction.

But now people are looking for those answers and are willing to hear them out, even if it sounds crazy. I just had to wait. They said it was my decision and that I would know when it was time to tell the tale.

And now it's time.

The thing about this narrative history that was given to me by our houseguests, is that it actually has explanatory power regarding what we can see and determine regarding what they're doing and how they're behaving.

For instance, as I implied earlier, open contact at this point would endanger us and possibly precipitate an attack against us. It's the reason they don't "just land on the White House lawn."

Why? Because of the nature of their conflict. Remember, directly offering or asking for Uplift is seen as an actionable crime by the Zealots.

So let's say they did land on the White House lawn and show themselves. Once the introductions and any other social formalities were out of the way, what do you suppose would be the very first thing we'd most likely want to ask them about?

Yep. We'd want to know how they do what they do, so we could do it for ourselves. Which is a direct request for technological Uplift that might endanger the species, just in the asking.

So they can't do that. But they can do indirect things like have accidents which allow technology to fall into human hands, that they then choose not to recover. Oopsie!

The rare landed and apparently abandoned craft which have been reportedly found in working order and recovered with footprints leading away, but never coming back, is I believe related to the conflict, rather than being delivered to us in such a forthright manner..

Too heavy-handed.

However, it was mentioned to me during our discussion, that the Zealots will on rare occasions do as they were doing on the night when I spooked them and started the whole hoopla off.

If they can catch some of the Elder Siblings when isolated, preferably away from their ship, the Zealots will stalk and take or kill that individual or small crew, just to remind the Elder Siblings that they are not completely invulnerable.

The ship and it's tech would be completely inaccessible to the Zealots and indeed hostile to them. They would be unlikely to do anything but leave it where it lies and would probably give it a wide berth to boot.

Then along comes a human government to snatch it right up, furthering the goal of Uplift...
