The Aliens
"The universe, as far as we can observe it, is a wonderful and immense engine."  George Santayana.

Perhaps it's not surprising that us weak-minded humans assume that there is life in outer space.  In the scheme of things, planet Earth is a mere kitten compared with aliens from the future.  Billions of light years away, it's logical to assume that they are vastly superior mentally.  Why else would they invade our world and offer guidance if we were their equals? Therefore, it's our duty to obey them for the betterment of mankind.  The aliens are known as politicians. Why would aliens call themselves politicians if they didn't know everything?

The alien politicians have been on earth for a long time and since the advent of modern
communications their influence has increased beyond accountability.  They insist we give up cigarettes and booze because they're bad for our health, yet demand we attack other races to bring them in line with their political thinking.  The politicians must be worshipped and no other Gods are permitted.  Therefore, mass slaughter of the wrong God worshipping humans is now the accepted norm.
    
Being a politician is an expensive business and they consider it essential to live off the hard work of the people they control.  Taxes have increased way beyond the ability the oppressed can afford but this matters little to the sunglass wearing brigade who cannot look us in the eye.  They have reduced wages to the extent we can't afford a basic standard of living and when complaints emerge, we are regarded as society's low life and little more than bludgers.  Begrudgingly they issue handouts to make us feel grateful for their generosity.

Over the years they developed a system that allows us to vote for their self-appointed
nominees every so often.  With publicity paid for by us, they declare themselves elected
winners and thus 'democracy' flourishes.  It's not unknown for votes to be electronically
'lost' or whole sections of a community barred from voting.  We are told this is the way
'democracy' works and that we should be thankful some of us are allowed to vote at all.

We must obey without question and politicians employ millions of sub normal people to
enforce endless laws that achieve nothing except compliance.  Thus, they remain in control of the majority who can't think beyond the end of their noses.  Thinking minorities are attacked to ensure the majority (Jackass Mentality) will always back the politicians.  The fatuous repetition of 'majority rules,' is the catch phrase to placate the mindless.  Naturally the intelligent minorities are blamed for destroying countless civilisations over thousands of years.  If only the politician's advice had been heeded, life would be beautiful and everlasting.

Hundreds of thousands of highly intelligent people have and will be jailed or ostracised for pointing out that mankind is sliding backwards.  But multi millions of non thinkers will state, 'that's life,' and agree with anything as long as it doesn't affect them personally.  That's why the politicians pick on minorities.  It's a sure fire method of getting their own way.

But the alien chiefs in distant space have made a mistake by failing to allow for time warps.  Instead of sending superior minds to educate us Earthlings, they sent us minds still swinging from the trees.  Maybe that's why Earth is turning into the Planet of the Apes?
