On fire! 🔥 Superb piece, Morgoth. Radiant with a combustion of passionate insight and sardonic ennui that only the deep soul of a true European could burn with! Also a mini-treatise on Nietzsche's great one-liner "beware that when you look into the abyss, the abyss is also looking into you...' Bravo again!
You, my friend, are a poet. And unlike Nietzsche I can only hope that your creative genius is appreciated in your own lifetime.
Pox Populi and I were already discussing the Substack writings of a particular figure in these circles, saying "It's hardly a Morgoth, is it?" as if we were discussing art. I hope that the reputation of your writing continues on this same tradition.
Excellent. Everything I like. Succinct, insightful and makes me think. A great talent.
And you are right. All I would add is this. If their idea was to keep an alien invasion up their sleeve to distract us, your insights into how old fashioned it is to the majority demonstrate how out of touch they are.
Far from being supervillains they are more like bad science fiction writers. Unaware their exciting ideas are just recycling tired tropes. People that cut off are not our future.
Seems to be a theme. Much of the WEF output also reads like bad science fiction. Living in pods, microchipping your kids, and all the insect burgers you can eat.
Absolutely tone deaf to human drives and human nature, despite the damage they can do.
Good point - they left the alien invasion psy-op on the back burner so long that almost nobody would believe it (or care) anymore. I have to wonder if HG Wells' book was the planting of the original seed, because he was, it seems, working for 'them.'
I don't think it was so much working for them. It was that intellectual types are drawn to socialist schemes because it promises them, and not the mindless rabble, a place steering society. And birds of a feather flock together. Like a latter day WEF they get together, start scheming and before long convince themselves they can fix society.
But they always overlook human nature. That is their weakness.
Absolutely spot on. This is why every intellectual loves the idea of Plato's philosopher-king, while most "normal" people are repelled at the thought. I'd rather be ruled by a Tony Soprano than Bill Gates any day. Soprano might be venal and vicious but he won't try to tell you what to eat and he won't try to convince your son to be gay.
In a post-casedemic, post-jab world, aliens to me are other people. The trouble is, even after all that, even the cynical, the unusually religious, the nationalistic and the unjabbed tend to do things that mark them out as alien to me.
It's with that in mind that I often come to agree with the crazed plans of the elite. "They're going to take out cars away by 2030. They'll have us locked in 15-minute cities," the sceptics say.
The trouble is, I've seen the hideousness of the houses the average aliens build in the countryside. I've seen how rush-hour turns a motorway into a car park. I've seen people wander around shopping centres on a Sunday because they have nothing better to do. It's all alien to me.
Problem is there's no particular reason why an entity powerful enough to create the 15 minute city would necessarily care what you want or enjoy. You mean nothing to them, and they'd be just as likely to see a line on their spreadsheet labeled "Liam" and decide to delete it as anything else.
You've poetically summed up my thoughts on this subject. As someone who was taken to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind by my dad at the age of 4, I grew up quite obsessed with the subject. Although I'm still convinced we're not alone, where as I used to contemplate what drastic effects an undeniable disclosure or incident would have on humanity - you're right, we've changed. I now think it'd be a shorter newscycle than the death of the Queen. And soon the argument would be, do they believe in Climate Change, Transgender Rights or whether they're pro Trump or Biden. Like you said, we, our dreams and our species in general are now in the gutter. Instead of reaching for the stars, most of us are now just dreading the content of tomorrow's breaking news.
At the same time, maybe our understanding of the cosmos should be more imaginative. I always think of the Shadows from Babylon 5 as a genuinely unsettling and inscrutable alien.
However, they looked like ants. The Tyranids in Warhammer are also good example of how aliens could be.
I've come to the conclusion that intelligent life, instead of reaching for the stars, essentially does the complete opposite and disappears up its own brainstem into the most powerful drug imaginable - a hypereal Metaverse of its deepest fantasies. This is if it doesn't either destroy itself via technology analagous to a caged Chimpanzee given a hand grenade to "play with", or is itself just a transient phase, a crysallis if you likr on its way to produce an AI God. If the latter is the case, who knows the true nature of the reality we think we inhabit?
Alternatively a species splits in two just as we seem to be doing. Those who run away from reality into fantasy, and those who attempt to face reality, warts and all.
One of those groups will make it to Mars and beyond.
I'm completely addicted to the news (not mainstream media obviously) my wife can't understand it, and in turn I can't understand how the hell anyone couldn't be.
Aliens have been done to death. That - and a total lack of belief in govts, media and academia made this latest ‘revelation’ less than a raised eyebrow from me.
A modern run of X-Files exploring the post Truth problem would be interesting if the thing just out of Mulder's reach was the power to act on his truth and the tension was him engaging in quid pro quo with elites. Imagine an episode that was about the Clinton foundation. The synopsis would be: Molder is tasked to find evidence that could lead to a power individual's arrest, but all of his witnesses keep ending up in body bags. Of course the last thing viewers see each episode is, "This is a work of fiction. any similarities to persons living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental."
If they did this 20 years ago it might of been bought, but now earth is jaded with a cost of living crisis , free energy technology curtailed and even the backwards fake and gay technology like EV will be taken away.. when your in a 15 minute digital ghulag eating crickets in your coom pod . The gaylians 🏳️🌈🛸👽 will be the last thing on your mind. Worse than so called medieval surfdom
Real life is far more bizarre than anything from outer space. If aliens landed, who would really notice? I remember the excitement at the crop circle phenomenon in England in the 90’s/early 2000’s - that turned out to be a hoax https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20210822-englands-crop-circle-controversy Any such reaction to alien circles in a field, would be unimaginable now. It’s all so tiresome...
Men are so much more into aliens than women, aren’t they? When I clicked on this first thing this morning as I always do with Morgoth I was surprised how many comments there were already! It’s a fine piece but clearly struck a chord.
Myself, whenever I see “new” news I assume they are trying to distract us from something serious. It’s all sleight of hand and we seem unable or unwilling to effect change. The boomers have trained their replacements and their shock troops, and no one has the stomach for revolt.
That is true, as a whole we seem to constantly seek out novelty even while we know we are funneled to our algorithmic echo chambers. They are still trying out the psy-ops however, so many now that truth is drowned and even the idea of Truth seems ridiculous to the younger generation. This was their goal all along, for Truth is the only thing strong enough to defeat them.
I think some of the super advanced formations are likely done by the deep state.. they are a few thousand years ahead of us in technological capability..
Once again, an impeccable piece from the inimitable Morgoth. I also hardly noticed the alien op being served to us and did not care. At the same time, I had the feeling that they were very far from what used to be the top of their game and basically just going through the motions. Even _their_ hearts are not in it - why is that?
That was an absolutely fantastic article. I think the reason the regime are pushing the alien narrative is because they've realised the last 5 years have turned everyone into a conspiracy theorist and they want give people something harmless to obsess over. Unfortunately no one believes anything the regime say anymore.
I've always been alien-curious but you're right: at this point the psyop is complete. We've been conditioned to accept aliens for decades. It's no big deal. It's all fake and gay and a fake, gay op.
Or maybe not. Maybe aliens are real but...so what? They aren't shopping at the mall, they aren't landing in front of the White House or Parliament. They aren't talking to us. If they're talking to anyone, it's to the government and its intel agencies and everyone else who lies to us 'for our own good' and thinks they can run our lives better than we can.
Remember that movie and TV series Alien Nation, where James Caan played a cop whose partner was an alien? Actually I think Devon Stack may have covered it recently.
Same reaction following the congressional UAP hearings: disbelief and apathy. Granted, the only evidence provided there was testimony, not a pair of mummies. Yet still, UFOs are now a feature of official reality, and people yawned.
Even assuming it's real and not a psyop, this shows that most of the popular narratives about First Contact are nonsense. It will not result in rioting in the streets. It will not bring humanity together as one global family. It will be greeted - perhaps is being greeted - the same way every new scientific wonder is received: with a colossal shrug.

Thanks mate. I am working on some larger projects that you may be able to help me with actually.
Absolutely, mate. Anytime.

Thank you and yes, I agree they're struggling to create anything new.

I agree. I always laugh when people say the government has become like the Mafia. If only, lol.
Take Italy. The Mafia could fix their immigration woes in less than 90 days. And, as you say, it wouldn't come with a host of woke demands.

Maybe we're in the drop of water on the side of a giant's mug of ale.
If that’s the case, well then it had better be a big, hearty foaming tankard of Old Bigot and not some faggotty alcopop or something...

Genestealers. The Warhammer Universe is absolutely horrible and depressing, I do need to read some of the books though.

Top drawer mini essay, the last 2 paragraphs were particularly haunting
Thanks I like the shorter, denser ones because you're forced to a lot with not much.
A modern run of X-Files exploring the post Truth problem would be interesting if the thing just out of Mulder's reach was the power to act on his truth and the tension was him engaging in quid pro quo with elites. Imagine an episode that was about the Clinton foundation. The synopsis would be: Molder is tasked to find evidence that could lead to a power individual's arrest, but all of his witnesses keep ending up in body bags. Of course the last thing viewers see each episode is, "This is a work of fiction. any similarities to persons living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental."
''The Truth is out There'' vs ''People don't care about the truth'' as the source of tension.
Perhaps tellingly, one of the phrases that pops up during the intro to Chris Carter's other show is "Who cares?".
Which show is that? Millenium?
Aye, that's the one.
By the end of the series, the protagonist has effectively disowned the cosmic struggle in favour of a simpler life.
Who cares...?
You killed it with this one, big guy.
Thanks Gaddius.
One of my favorites as well. Both the original story and Morgoth’s essay are prescient
If they did this 20 years ago it might of been bought, but now earth is jaded with a cost of living crisis , free energy technology curtailed and even the backwards fake and gay technology like EV will be taken away.. when your in a 15 minute digital ghulag eating crickets in your coom pod .

So true! Science fiction has always been the domain of men, with a few female outliers. The word ‘new’ just makes me groan inwardly.
Except they don't need to distract us from anything because we distract ourselves easily enough.
That is true, as a whole we seem to constantly seek out novelty even while we know we are funneled to our algorithmic echo chambers. They are still trying out the psy-ops however, so many now that truth is drowned and even the idea of Truth seems ridiculous to the younger generation.

I for one welcome our alien overlords 👽

Now if they inadvertently kill one of the Kardashians while landing their spaceship, then we'd have riots.
The aliens are too smart to kill their own kind.
Lol
Love your content, Morgoth.
I see your name, I click.
Thank you very much.
