As Unz readers were presented with a UFO theorist quite recently, they may know there is a theory that the absence of real space travellers on Earth is due to the fact that every civilisation that was on the threshold of breaking into space instead destroyed itself. It seems that now we are very close to self-destruction, whether by death-seeking Jews pushing for Armageddon, or by death-seeking Brits competing to be first. The chances are not too good that our own particular civilisation will escape the personal ambitions of our own billionaires and warmongers.
So, what will it be raining down upon us? Will it be blessings from Heaven, in the form of soft rains, green fields and abundant harvests? A billionaire might worry that the abundant harvests might devalue his investments in grain futures. A warmonger will certainly worry that an outbreak of peace may hurt his popularity and reduce the impact of his favourite weapon systems. These men might do anything, anything at all to achieve better quarterly dividends, and no one can stop them. The mere whim of a billionaire might cause something far more substantial and destructive than blessed rain to be falling down upon our own heads someday. It’s time to rein them in, perhaps with a wealth tax.
