The UFO Media Matters Paradox:

"If Unidentified Flying Objects are indeed Extra-Terrestrial, and we are being visited by many different species…where are the capitalists?"

The future looks scary folks. The most important love affair to ever be borne of humanity is in jeopardy. The one human construct which has lasted almost as long as religion may be no more than a fleeting mote in the eye of God. The engine which has driven development, progression and greed on our world may not be in the future of any advanced race..Do you see any ETs selling flying cars?

I don't understand it. Didn't ninety nine percent of the visionary science fiction writers weave a thousand worlds of enterprise, a universe teaming with capitalists? Foundation Trilogy, Cities in Flight, Dune. Television and the movies liked to sensationalize the topic of aliens. Early TV dealt with extremes in aliens. They were usually monsters or they turned out to be saints. Then came Star Trek, which was able to tap into the sense of wonderment and possibilities in the cosmos and nothing would be the same again. Alien, Star Wars and a thousand more spawned intelligent species which bartered in one way or the other. They even had their own greed. Later on, when special effects could catch up we could actually see these alien cultures and their economic sides.

We all know too well what would happen if capitalism was the driving force behind these visits. We would have been roped, tagged, and over developed a long time ago. We would have been, for lack of a better word, absorbed. You can buy anything, even a world, with the right carrot.

However, none of these beings (there may be hundreds) have not tried to sell us one thing…not one! What could that mean for our future? No more going out to buy an IPhone? How can you show off your new antique Porsche? The fun of showing your friend your new 50 3D TV gone… what would we do with ourselves? We find it a great deal of fun in buying a gadgets and although the enthusiasm objects fades we can always go on to something new. It can be argued capitalism helps channel competition in less harmful ways. Evolution put that competition in all of us as a driving force to survive so it needs an outlet!

So what could it mean if they are all non-capitalistic species? We know socialism seems to deaden creativity. When you end up working for the state it can be so uninspiring. Many great thinkers have envisions of a utopian society where the higher self is the part of everyone's life. A society where caring, respecting each other and the environment is not far from the thoughts of all. Everyone in this society is educated to the fullest. Everything is done for the betterment of society. What a world!

However, in the thousands of years of development of these lofty ideals the human species has nothing close to a Utopian society. Humans seem to cycle between advancement and the law of nature mentality.

What are some of the cons to Capitalism? Big Business controls technology advancements they also decide when that technology will be released to maximize profits. You can bet your life that many a great idea has been left on the drawing board because the company couldn't patent whatever it was. Medicine also- do any of us really think a drug company would bring a new effective drug against disease to fruition without a commercial payday? So capitalism is far from perfect but it is the best of the alternatives we have. How could any species be able to end that driving force of nature without at least channeling it into the least destructive force, capitalism?

It doesn't seem, at least in the human example of development, that there is no safe and effective alternative. When I started this post I didn't have an answer. I knew that the more entrenched capitalism is in a society the more controlled that society is by capitalism. I knew that it wasn't democracy that brought down the Soviet Union; it was capitalism. We see that now in Russia, which is not a shining example of democracy in action but is effectively using capitalism. But the answer was not new it just was never applied like this. There was a force which could change the very makeup of an entire species: Evolution.

Nature seems to adapt to the dangers around it and what greater danger than a species on the planet with an unending appetite and power to exercise that appetite whenever it wished? This danger has been increasing each year as the human species exercises its will. When will this end? Well, in capitalism system it's not supposed to end. But, with nature any threat to the balance seems to be dealt with again and again especially where life is concerned. Some of us call that balancer the Creator.


We have to admit most of what we want now has nothing to do with need. We have to admit the ever expanding, consuming human species can't go on indefinitely. There are limits to everything. We know some other interesting facts about evolution. Sometimes it uses mutation to make leaps in development. The brain got bigger and really smarter really quickly in evolutionary terms. However survival by any means was kept intact. The brain took a leap in intelligence but not in emotional development. Could this new leap in evolution change a species' world view both intellectually and emotionally? Could it seal the rift? What would happen if the next step in human evolution gave us inner peace? What would happen if the next step gave all of us great intelligence? Let's also include the senses. What new senses would we become aware of? Could we really read not only another person's mind but the person themselves? You wouldn't need an IPhone- you would be one. Wouldn't lying become a dead art? What would happen if our emotional reactions were no longer driven by survival because we knew we would? We would have achieved through evolution what humankind has dream of since the dawn of unjust pain and hardship: Utopia.

Did these alien species face their own possible downfalls? Did some of these alien cultures almost disappear? Did nature step in to secure the future of life and of the predominate species? What would it be like to know who you are and what you wish to do from the very start? What would it be like to really know the other members of your species and I mean REALLY KNOW them? What would it be like to never need a substance to make you feel good? How about other addictions? Eating problems would disappear as the mind and body would work in unison. How about a body that not only tells you when you are sick but what is causing the sickness? What would be like to have quiet in your conscious, no contradictions about yourself? What would it be like to act intelligently in all situations, not react?

This is what I think happens: Their decision machine is not like ours. They have truly evolved passed our type of survival. They have an emotional connection to their history which forever teaches them. The destroyer of worlds evolved past Conqueror to Shepherd, and life once again, finds a way.

  1. I think it was/is the big lie that we only have two alternatives to choose from--either capitalism or communism. BOTH systems have had centralized State control

    REAL commune-ism was practices for many many thousands of years before the rise of civilization--which means city states

    The fact IS --planet earth's web of life is being destroyed because of the corporate facism we are under, and that is all that matters--how do we end this march to destruction?

    I liked your unique take --how come UFOers aint selling us shit?--LOL

    if they were ours surely they'd have neon ads going round their ;)circumference

  2. Dear Muzuzuzus,
    Thank you it was fun writing it. What really made me think of how much control cooperate capitalism has over this country is the way big business is perceived by many American as the victims of this powerful recession. They have been able to make senior citizens believe after the worst recession since the great depression that it will be good to privatize, social security, Medicare, Health care.
    That the seniors are supporting it is OK to invest our health, and our checks into a Wall Street that has no rules and stole more money that all the criminals on earth combined is scary. For me this is a cooperate takeover of the effective power of propaganda. Thinking independently many smart heads of corporations have figured out you can, with TV news, and smart adds change the vote of unlearned Americans in fear. This has been so successful that these poor but intellectual lazy seniors will vote against even their own survival interest. Do we even have a chance. America could easily turn into a NAZI Germany in the next five year.
    The one shinning star about all this is they will eventually fail as they have always failed. Wither government of cooperation the people will rise when they nothing left to lose and the "let them eat cake" mentality will be swept away in the revolution of desperation. I am an old man and I have never seen this type of reactionary thinking since the cold war.
    As for the other media... they fiddled while America burned.
    Thanks

  5. Hi again. Good article!

    Yes. Contact seems to be of different sorts, some benevolent, some malevolent. If ET was truly here for our favorite pastime - tribal warfare - I believe they would have started a bigger scale war years ago. If they got here by technology they sure have the potential to engage war. I don't believe I have read a case where a UFO have shot first at our own flying objects, but have read a lot of cases where the opposite was true. What makes me pause however are the many evidence regarding cattle and human mutilations. This is puzzling. If ET are so benevolent then why mutilate on a large scale?

    Personally I believe there are more types of ET but they seem to have some sort of global understanding of not interfering with global social order and everyday human life on the planet. It's like they have some sort of agenda but war would be counter-productive to it. Also, ET seem to handle humans and cattle much the way like we handle life that's beneath us, so what's new to that approach? We don't wrestle with the lion when we want to take tests but sedate it and go quiet about our business. The really bad mutilation-stuff indicates however that there probably is at least one malevolent ET race close-by. (Some people might not know that some of the more gruesome mutilation cases implies no opportunity for them to have been man-made)

    ET agendas seems very different from case to case and I'm strongly leaning at there's more than one ET. Lots of older planets with potential life in theory as well as the level of technology implied by UFO-witnesses and stories collected from UFO-contactees also point towards old ET and more than one ET race. Old civilizations should stand a chance to have evolved past our tribal warfare and over-aggressive consuming behavior.

    I'm very weary on the potential for deceit in ET-contact. ET-contactees usually are on such an emotional high that they forget to think rationally about their experiences. Whether you had a malevolent or benevolent agenda you would send the same positive message. Disinformation means the mix of truth and lies. As humans, we ensure the animal of it's well being just before we end its life with a syringe. That's contradictory and mean but a liberty we take since it fits the human world view. I believe there must be a similar approach by an ET race close-by, justifying some of their actions we look upon as abuse from our perspective.

    Thanks and keep blogging!

  9. Thanks Daniel always a pleasure to here your great insight. Something fundamental has changed between them and us. They are not stupid and should know the potential of danger in dealing with a violent species like us. But they most have some understanding as you said of not harming us...a greater good if you will. Something is holding back the aggression in these species. Is it done politically or a natural step of evolution. If we as humans could get our act together maybe we will find out. Till then I will pray for peasce.

  10. what did you mean by this:

    "(Some people might not know that some of the more gruesome mutilation cases implies no opportunity for them to have been man-made)?

    When I first heard about them and saw them the thought sprang to my mind --along with cattle mutilations--that they were man made.
    This is because I had been aware od theories that covert black operations were trying to demonize the UFO phenomena. There was also those attacks on poor people in Brazil?--not mutilations but beams that caused people to get very sick, and in some cases caused death

    I am not saying I KNOW. I am just wonderinfg why we haven't heard about these events in the West? Could it be it IS mad-made and they use brown skinned poor people as their victims for their propaganda

    I am only asking questions :)

  11. Joe,

    Unfortunately, speaking as a capitalist, at least in terms of the business I own and the shareholders and distributors to whom I am responsible, I'm obliged to inform you that you'll need to take down that video containing copyrighted material from my film Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Sightings.

    Best regards,

  13. Joe,

    Actually, the film is available in its entirety for free via my distributor, Paranormal TV. I don't know the link, but I know it's up there, along with my films Stanton T. Friedman is Real, and Fields of Fear.

    If you want to upload parts of someone's copyrighted material, you should contact them first, ask for their permission, and then provide proper attribution and a link to the filmmaker's own website. You might find that most people will be happy to oblige.

  14. Dear Paul,
    No argument there I was lazy and I should have look for your email. I just want to say in defence of what I am doing (so imperfectly)is I put the videos up and discuss them with people. I know how to handle the bottom feeders on You Tube. They not only get the video but the common sense reasoning which leads on to a pro UFO explanation. I usually do go to the publishers I meet them at the conferences and when I explain they usually give me permission.
    Out of sight shouldn't be out of mind. My apology.
    Thank You

  15. @muzuzuzus.
    Thanks for the comment!

    That was a rather sloppy comment from me. Thanks for pointing it out. While I made the comment in haste, it's mostly true.

    I referred to cattle mutilation only and should have clarified this. I know of no human mutilation case that can rule out man-made interference although the some examples implies high strangeness and extraordinary circumstances... Just look at Josephs video here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LIJisXtJIU

    In cattle mutilation there are multiple examples where man-made interference is highly unlikely due to the circumstances in which the mutilations took place.

    One can propose it's always possible man is the perpetrator for all these crimes since investigation point towards extremely sophisticated and highly specialized technology to have been used in cattle mutilation cases...

    ...But how much is reasonable to stretch the mind and imagine some men exercising gruesomeness, using never before seen technology in a matter where access and timeframe leaves in essence no opportunity (defies logic). Overall, we don't even have theories of how some cattle mutilations were all done if weighing in the circumstances.

    There are 2 examples of these 'high strangeness' mutilations in the Skinwalker Ranch texts. Also Ted Phillips shared at least one current example when I heard him on radio last time around. Apparently, this is a phenomenon he now investigates thoroughly. Sadly, I can't remember the specifics of what Phillips said right now.

    There are hotspots for cattle mutilation where ranchers themselves rule out foul play by man due to their own (and other farmers) experiences. If memory serves me right, this phenomenon have historically come and gone in waves and strange documented cases exist from long before any ultra-sophisticated technology were invented by man.

    Thanks for letting me discuss a side-issue here, Joseph!

  16. Thanks Daniel,
    There are always more questions than answers to these experiences. Why would the government bring attention to a subject they try so hard to minimize and dismiss the UFO reality, On the other side why would aliens leave dead mysterious hard ti explain cattle when they could easily take them, do what they need to do, and drop the bodies at sea somewhere far away.

    Me-thinks something more is going on here Some type testing between us and them. It may be why we see the military show up so quickly at some of the more sensational cases.
    My next post is going to be on a very strange things around UFO experiences. They will be called the shadow people. It's not MIB or phantoms it's real and it again doesn't make sense.
    Hope you'll comment on: UFOs and the Shadow People.

  17. Dear Mr. Capp:

    I just want to hug you for this wonderful post. You have articulated so many of the best, most productive questions of life, questions which have been floating around, hazily, in my consciousness since childhood: Why is life/the world/human nature this way? How did it come to be this way? How can we get better, kinder, more just? These smoldering questions have led me to seek what is usually termed "spiritual insight."

    But in fact, these are basic to ordinary, quoditian life, as you ask: What would it be like to know who you are and what you wish to do from the very start? What would it be like to have quiet in your consciousness, no contradictions about yourself? What would it be like to act intelligently in all situations, not react? These are a Zen teacher's questions that go to the very center of everyday human existence.

    One thing I've noticed over the years of holding these type of questions: an individual must tolerate & manage their own emotions in order to act wisely & be at ease.

    Propagandists know that to cause fear is to control. If most individuals could not be made to fear, 'the masses' could not be controlled. Where we see large numbers of elder Americans identifying with corporations rather than with workers, students, children, or other natural persons, we are seeing the result of 30+ years of fear mongering by moneyed interests who need the masses to be firmly under control in order for corporations to continue to make profit.

    I am thinking specifically of a man I know, now an elder, a career military man who fought in three wars. I know him to be deeply kind & loving, expansively generous, with a salty sense of humor, a man who can make you believe in yourself, who can help you surpass your own limits. After years of vocal bombardment by certain shouting radio personalities, this good man's notions have become warped into truly ugly, fascistic, totalitarian hatred. What a crime it really is against him, against families, against humanity, to warp individuals in order to kill and to profit!

    Whenever I hear the Hawkings and the Kakus pontificating from on high in an area in which they have no expertise -- the nature of beingness, that is, what other beings in the galaxy might be like -- I know many people will adopt their opinion as valid, simply because they are highly accomplished in their field. I would say: look at the life lived by this person, by, for instance, A. Einstein. He may have been a brilliant theoretical physicist, but as a man he behaved most unkindly, for instance, to his first child and her mother, the woman who would become his wife. This, in my mind, shows an immaturity, an emotional cravenness, that any amount of intellectual accomplishment does not excuse. Thus, it is unwise to look to such persons for valid reasoning or even reasonable opinions about the possible nature of other beings in the galaxy, as they so sadly underestimate, misunderstand & misuse human beings right here on Earth.

    Oh, goodness - the time. Mr. Capp, your UFOMM just went to the top of my list. Thank you so much for a powerful & insightful post -- I look forward to more!

    Best regards & a big hug, too!
