Why ET's Should Be Seen As Unified ( or in Cahoots!)

[Eighthman]

Perhaps this is a sort of 'argument from silence' ( or absence) but the failure of any manifest, obvious self-disclosure should be seen as an indication that they are united or cooperative, generally.

There are some very entertaining sites ( John Kettler) that claim all sorts of wars are going on between 'forces of light' and Those Evil Reptiloids ("To Serve Man"). It gets a bit cartoonish...

I think the notion (a la Mr. Lear) that Greys are just doing a job as part of a larger effort makes sense.

Why? Because we never see any Alien - "going postal" or adopting the mindset of say..... Ted Turner and landing in front of the White House or UN ("Disclosure is happenin' today, bitches !").  Instead, it seems to involve a fairly even escalation, across the globe as if coordinated to gradually enlighten humans.

In addition, most ( all?) aliens seem to be telepathic. If this ability extends across their various groups, then 'Pearl Harbor' ish stuff is right out (!).  They know what the other guys are thinking.....

It would be hard to fathom also how a 'pecking order' or hierarchy amidst them could be avoided.  Some are godlike, other would be REALLY godlike ( gulp!).

Do we have evidence to the contrary? That they duke it out in space?

I disagree. The lack, or failure of self-disclosure may not be entirely ET's fault. When you say "obvious", this whole issue becomes more subjective; what is "obvious" to One, may not be to another.

There is also the evidence to consider, Terrestrial governments seem to go to some length to assure that there is not enough "real evidence" to reach any kind of informed conclusion.

Self-disclosure is difficult, given the atmosphere that surrounds ET. There is very little we can show.

Biological evidence is virtually worthless, as many ET's have Biologies very much like Terrestrials.

None of us are "allowed" to have "off-world" technology.

Landing a ship in a public place would be considered an "act of war".

The problem here is that we can not "self-disclose" simply because; you will not accept.

Any "coordination" you see is purely Terrestrial in origin. But, yes, there are "individual" initiatives being deployed, and they do increase the "pressure" to disclose. But, you should understand, that there is not so much a "program" to enlighten, than there is to "force" governmental disclosure.

Yes, I think that would be "all". Almost all life has some degree of telepathic ability, in some it is more developed. Like in almost all sentient life.

Terrestrials have the same telepathic capabilities as all the rest, it's just not developed. In face, it is suppressed.

For a mature, trained telepath, security is not a problem. There are ways of not allowing random "connection"

I don't like the characterization of "godlike"; we are not "godlike", we are just people, not unlike Terrestrials, trying to live in the same Universe.

I respect your opinions but feel that my points still stand as regards UFO's not straying outside of certain bounds or rules.  Some say the skies would be black with ET craft, if they chose to be seen.

I continue to look for evidence that ET's fight each other or that any 'changing of the guard' has occured on earth as to our invisible governance.  I'm also puzzled as to why there are claims about treaties or cooperative understandings between ET's and humans - why do they bother dealing with us or asking permission?

There are even some accounts of people fending off abductions by loudly appealing to Jesus, as if attacked by demons. While some might see that confirming their religious views, I see it as indicating something about free will, if true.
