UFO-Extraterrestrials Mythology is an industry and needs
to protect its markets as any business does. For that reason, lack of evidences
is mostly solved by the conspiracy theories.
However, there are certain rules even for imaginary
conspiracies. Apparently, the biggest conspiracies produce more justifications to
the nonsense rhetoric.
For example, let us see how the ET fantasists work with
the conspiracy theories. The idea is that extraterrestrials are here, but most
of the world’s governments and the whole scientific establishment conspire to
deny the ET presence to the public. Now this is very useful for the
exo-fantasists, because anyone making questions or demanding evidences is
characterized as an agent provocateur working for the big cover-up.
For those who pretend those extraterrestrial
civilizations are present in our world and in contact with governments, there
are no legitimate questions, doubts or different points of view. On the contrary,
all those questioning exofantasists definitions of reality are condemned as
sinister operatives or called ignorants.
Obviously the conspiracy theories protect the markets and
keep the believers passive, but there are some problems about this. In a
society where there are no secrets and the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo
called the Transparent Society, nobody can guarantee that the presence of ETs
can be kept secret. At least this is not possible through the regular systems
of information control.
Consequently, the imaginary conspiracy must have
supernatural elements. The cabal is pyramidal and the big controllers are
practically supernatural, and here is when religious fantasies are helpful. In
the end, Lucifer will be the conspiracy big chief.
As a result of all these inventions, it is more and more
impossible to pretend to be Scientists, and the ET mythologists become
paranoid mystics. (This will also affect the intellectual composition of the
believers’ groups.)
The ufologists’ narrative will become primitive and
absurd, and intelligent people interested in the UFO phenomenon will be
repealed by such paranoid and pseudo-religious garbage.
This situation puts the “ET experts” in a difficult
situation: they are forced to re-invent the ET visitors every day, and also to
keep their conspiracy memes alive and credible.
Something else: The discredited whistle-blowers can be
protected for some time by the omnipotent cover-up, but not forever.
Governments are worried only about true whistle-blowers, and these have nothing
to do with the paranormal “revelations”.
UFO self
proclaimed experts tell the public that the disclosure is imminent but sixty
years of “imminence” is too much, don’t you think?
Rational individuals understand the obvious: there is no
disclosure simply because there is nothing to disclose.
Selling the UFO-ET-CONSPIRACY mythology was easier in the
50’s and 60’s, but now perhaps it’s time to change the show.
