What is actually going on is the culmination of a war between two powerful leadership factions. One wishes to keep humans of Earth ignorant and enslaved. The other wants us to reach for the stars and achieve our true potential.
This war began hundreds of thousands of years ago. Many of us were there when it started, and are back because this is the endgame.
Both factions have extraterrestrial connections through their ancestry. But they themselves are Earth humans and, in any case, we will one day learn that we too possess DNA from the stars.
This war will not happen again because, in the midst of it, many are awakening to who they really are and learning about our true history and potential as architects of a golden age. As the dust settles, armed with this knowledge, we the awakened are already taking back our power and creating a new world.
A world free of wars.
