The Military-Industrial complex, by opinion-control through the use of psycho-politics (brainwashing by controlled news management). Consider this: In order to survive, a commer- cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine, requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. The mere subscription fees will not cover the costs. Thus, they depend for their continued existence upon money paid by advertisers. Suppose, then, that the editor of a certain newspaper decides that he is opposed to the Vietnam policy, and says so in his paper. The advertisers simply say to the editor, "Either you toe the mark and print what we want, or we'll withdraw our advertising. "' Such pressures are a fact of life. The newsmen are torn between their higher devotion to Truth, and also to the lower level of their physical needs. Rather than jeopardize their security and their futures they, of course, submit meekly to power. Their actions are fully understandable, and we do not hold them responsible. We throw the blame directly on the Military- Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing, threats of force, and economic pressure and retali- ation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in American life into a weak-willed, subservient mouthpiece for the power-masters. We blame them for the death of journalistic freedom and individuali ne more comment on a better economic system is already known to the leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the system known as Universal Economics. As we have said over and over before, it is the non-money economic system which MUST be applied on your planet before you can start to resolve most of your major problems and thus begin to establish a highly- advanced, non-destructive state of existance on Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have enjoyed for so long. INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM to evaluate it for its merit — then ACT to apply it! YOUR VERY SURVIVAL AS A CIVILIZATION MAY DEPEND UPON IT! Perhaps this is an opportune time to clarify a few questions which have been asked about us. Do we of Korendor work with the local planets in our operations? Yes, we do cooperate with them a great deal. However, our work on Earth is relatively independent of the local planets. We have many times overstepped what is considered to be the limit of interference upheld by Venus, Mars, and other planets. This has caused a good deal of debate between them and us. Each time we have pointed out that we of Korendor are basically pragmatic in nature. Although we do respect the laws of self-destiny, we feel also that where stepping in is required to prevent disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so. We have interfered in such places as the United States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in the local Tribunal of Planets. We are sympathetic to their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals. It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines and achieve any noticeable results. As I have said before, we have infiltrated your planet. We are directly involved in Earth's life. You might say that you a been invaded — a strong way of phrasing it, to be sure, but nonetheless factual, since we walk and work amongst you daily! We have been asked about our physical appear- ance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from yourselves, except that in our natural form we aver- age three to four feet in height. Every other dimen- sion is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of us would not reveal our origin in any way. + is topic: May I say that We are able to increase our height while on Earth through a technical process related to telepor- tation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and molecular structures of our bodies, and then repro- ducing them identically on a larger scale. Differ- ences in our internal structure are adjusted by the computer which controls the reproducer. Our most common skin color is a little darker than yours, although we have skin colors which vary as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however, we would look "'tan'' to you. We are NOT green, blue, or heliotrope, as has been suggested! Concerning our language, we generally use one of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third. On Korendor itself we speak the native language, Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own languages since it, like yours, was originally derived from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues. The other is Solex Mal, which is more familiar to you, since it is used by your local Solar System planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely. Unlike your own, however, the Korendian- Galinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few sibilant sounds, such as "'s'' or ''z''. Some of the sharper sounds like ''c'' and "'k'' are minimized. It is a beautiful language which is very musical and pleasant to hear. Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that ancient Latin was liberally taken from Galingua. There are many similarities in the two languages. Even modern English has roots on other worlds! In concluding my message to you, may I say — people of Earth: open up your minds and your hearts to the world around you. There is so much to be learned, so much to be discovered. Don't waste precious hours and days in bigotry and ignorance, and in senseless fighting and killing. To do so is truly a crime against nature and humanity. At this stage where you have the very stars almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers. As an old saying on your world puts it: ''As you make your bed, so shall you lie in it.''’ The decision does not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A world living in harmony, justice, security and abun- dance for all, or a world continuing to reap the bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger in their actions. They are short-sighted; they care little for the future. It is you New Age people, dedicated to the wel- fare of all mankind, and having the vision and under- standing of the ways to build the better world of tomorrow, who must lead the way. You have the future in YOUR hands, if you will but shoulder your responsibilities. The Flying Saucer Movement, as you call it, belongs to you. Support it in every way possible. Help it to grow until it is influential thoughout your world. Go out into the world and guide the misguided, find the lost, and recover the strays. We are behind you all the way. As we have said many times before, we will take two steps for every one that you take to help yourselves. The time has come for nations to ''bury the hatchet", to clasp hands, and plunge into the future together — in co-operation toward mutual goals. Look to the heavens and realize that your destiny is not in bleak atomic desolation, but in the magnifi- cent greatness that you can achieve if you will but work for it. Choose the right path and you will soon qualify to join with us in our journeys amongst the stars. Va i Luce (Go in Light)." Kalen-LiRetan 3
