Stephen's Secure Blog #372
These stories about Stephen began was when he was 10 years old, and
moving to a new part of the country to attend a special school for
gifted students, in the 1950's. This was from a time before computers
would fit on a desk, and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. He wrote
225 of them to a friend. He stopped writing to his penpal, but found he
still wanted to record his life, in case he lost his memory again, and
wrote 30 entries in his first logbook. Then he wrote to an artificial
intelligence called Geenee, in the master computer in his school for
gifted students, which he started attending in 2016. Now it's after
2018, and he's continuing to save his memories in a secure blog.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stephen is 19 in this story, in Spring of year 9 of his special school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #372 "On CNN About Aliens"
START Page
Don started the second half of the hour CNN interview show with,
"What you just said bring up more questions to ask." I said "That
happens often. I usually advise people to ignore the new side issues,
and concentrate on their prepared list, or some important question will
never get asked." He said "Good advice. Do any take it?" I said
"Actually, er, not really." He laughed. He said "I'll try. You've
mentioned some religions in your interviews, but not some others,
specifically, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and
Scientology. Why?" I said "Well, they have less of a population base,
and they appeared to not have interest in me and what I was doing, such
as the other religions did." He said "There have been some recent
changes in those two Churches." I said "I've noticed." He said "The
Mormons have issued a ruling that they will no longer oppose gay
marriage or homosexuality." I said "Another triumph of science and
intelligence over superstition."
He said "Interestingly put. Scientology appears to have undergone a
big change in the upper levels of the organization." I said "When a
religion, or any organization, wants to, and should change with the
times, sometimes there is resistance to that from some of its members.
Such disagreements can result in some changes in personal. I did
mention to them that I disagreed with how they treated the children of
their members. They decided to make some changes in that area. At the
same time, I gave them some of my research which they would have
interest in, and they might decide to use some of that. They have
worthy goals. How they strived for them, had problems. I think they are
in the process of er, fixing that." He said "What kind of problems?" I
said "I am what they call clear, and the Buddhists call enlightened, as
are many of my students to some useful extent. They have been trying to
cause that state in their own people, which I think, well, I have to,
is a very good thing. The way they were trying to do that, lacked what
modern science could give them that would really help. I gave it to
them. I hope and expect them to make some very positive changes in what
they are doing, to become the best they can be as individuals, and as
an organization."
I said "Back to the other religion. I'm really impressed by the high
moral standards the Mormons very successfully imbue in their people,
and their appreciation for science and community service. I admire
their dedication and intelligence. I suspect they won't feel badly
about my saying all that." He chuckled, and said, "I suppose not. How
do you feel about the Catholic Church?" I said "A work in progress. I
think ALL religions should have some humility, and really believe their
organizations, being human creations, and run by humans, are not
perfect, and can never be perfect. The more they believe they are
infallible, the less they actually are, and the more they hurt their
people with that. I'll be talking with them some more in the future.
The nature of that talk, and what it might cause to happen, is up to
them." We broke for a commercial. Don said, "Another wow! A threat!" I
said "Sure. I gave them a file of what I did to Scientology. They might
have had, while viewing it, an incontinence problem." He almost choked.
I said "And no, don't ask about that. It's private. You can ask about
autism, instead." He looked very interested.
Back on air, Don said, "Is autism being cured in your broadcasts?" I
said "Individual conditions I can't always sense being cured in the
love broadcasts. I think if autism IS being cured, it could be
happening in a step by step process, because it is a very complicated
and serious condition of the brain, which has multiple causes and
varieties. And if it is eventually completely cured, those who had it,
would have to learn to use their repaired brains all over again. I
think the speech center might be the most affected. I'll be watching
for that."
He said "There is a question that many have asked. Is there life on
other worlds?" I said "Do you mean in our solar system, or in the rest
of the galaxy? And do you mean things like bacteria, or intelligent
life?" He said "All of that." I said "Why don't you ask in general?" He
He laughed. I said "There are spores all over in space, and there is
space exploration. It's better that the discoveries come naturally from
regular science, so they can be studied with true objectivity, than if
I say things which might give people preconceived ideas." He said "But
you could tell them exactly where to go!" I said "A few people have
told me that, with some emphasis. A little too warm for my taste." He
laughed really hard. I said "Looking in places where you don't find
what you are seeking, can reward you with something mind boggling that
you would never have thought of or expected. A lot of great discoveries
are made that way. I would NOT like to reduce that." He said "Wow! But
I have to say, your care and wisdom is amazing." I said "I have
responsibilities that are beyond that of most people. I MUST do my best
for all."
He said "But surely you can tell us if there is intelligent life in
the galaxy." I said "Besides humans? Yes, there is." He said "And have
some visited us?" I said "Yes." He said "Wow! I didn't expect you to
say that." I said "Neither did Rose and her brother. Ohboy am I going
to hear it when I get home." He laughed. I said "I can feel them
laughing with you." He laughed some more. He said "Are they still
visiting us?" I said "The Galactic Council, who's area we are in, has
classified Earth as Restricted, which means we are too primitive and
barbaric to be allowed interstellar contact. Their member planets are
not allowed to do more than observe us. Unfortunately, a few non member
planets have visited in the past, and did some bad things. That will
not happen now. No space ship from any planet will enter our system
without my approval." He said "Have you stopped some?" I said "Yes.
Some would have conquered us, and had done that to other systems. I
ported them back to their home system, with peace and love messages
written in and all over their ships and bodies, in their own language.
I can tell you, they were VERY confused." He laughed. He said "I did
NOT expect anything like that!" I said "And neither did they." He
laughed some more. I said "They didn't try again, after their second
mission."
He said "You said that some extraterrestrials did bad things to us in
the past. Please tell us about that." I said "Alright, I'll tell you
about just one thing now, and it's in the Bible. Sodom and Gomorra, and
some of the other cities of the plains. The two who visited Lot, were
no angels! Right. It wasn't God who destroyed the cities, but the
aliens. And it wasn't for immoral actions, but because they were
developing a kind of mental science such as I have, which the aliens
considered to be a threat to them. Ha! Rose and Hawk are VERY
interested in that. Well, I never told anyone before." He said "You
told us first? Wow, what an honor for CNN!" I said "My pleasure. One
thing more. Those particular aliens will never do anything to ANY
people in the galaxy, ever again. No, I didn't kill them, but I have
put their people on their planet, and there aren't any on any other
planets, and I put an impenetrable force field around it. They
reproduce by mechanical means. I removed that equipment, and their
means to make it. When their current bodies wear out, they will be
extinct. Those people did similar things on other planets, that they
did to us, and those planets are VERY grateful to us for getting rid of
them. When those of Earth eventually go out to the stars, they will be
very respected for that, and as a fine cultural people, for the art
I've given to their museums, which are labeled as from Earth."
He was dumbfounded. I said "I did it again, didn't I." I said to the
camera, "I've shocked poor Don speechless, and it wasn't easy. Let's
break for a commercial." We did. Don said "All I can say is wow!" I
said "I think you should try harder." He almost choked. I said "Hawk is
REALLY laughing." Don did that, too.
Back from break, Don said, "You gave the aliens art from Earth?" I
said "I gave them what I made for them, and some are very similar to
what I gave the museums on Earth. One more part of the connection, for
when Earth joins the Council." He said "Why do they consider us
primitive and barbaric?" I said "You're a journalist! I shouldn't have
to tell you what you help them see of us. All the wars, murders, ethnic
cleansing, religious fanaticism, racial and ethnic hatred, and that we
allow some of our own people to starve, while others have more than
plenty, well, they want absolutely none of that. Think how they see it.
If we do all that to ourselves, over relatively slight differences,
what do you think THEY think we will do to THEM if we can?" He said
"Oh!" I said "When we invent space ships of our own that are capable of
visiting them, then we might qualify for membership."
I said "I see another question. I'll answer it. I don't use any of
their technology. All that I do is of my own invention, which they
don't understand any more than the science of Earth does." He said "Do
you understand their technology, and would you give it to us?" I said
"I understand some of it, and no, I won't give it here, because it
would need a foundation of education and manufacturing that isn't here,
first, to be understood, and then it wouldn't need to be given, because
the resulting technology would be invented here. Companies and
governments on Earth already have the technology and resources to
ensure that ALL people are fed and sheltered, and without harming the
environment. It's not happening. Dumping alien technology that isn't
understood, into that situation, will actually make that worse, because
all the resources will go to studying that, and not to using what we
already know and have, to make the world better, and that would ruin
the economy, too." He said "Wow! I didn't think of that." I said "I
have to. Because I can, I must. I will NOT cause harm to the people of
Earth!" We went to a commercial break.
Len said in the air, "You've got two minutes after we come back, to
the end of the program." Don said "But we still have a lot of questions
we didn't get to." I said "Right. And they'll never end, because each
answer causes many new ones. Oh, don't be so sad. It'll keep you in
business for a while." He said "That it will!" Back on air, Don said,
"We only have a minute. Do governments have captured alien space
craft?" I said "I'm not going to interfere with what governments want
to keep secret, but I can tell you that if they did have any, I would
know if they learned anything useful from them. Technology trends show
they haven't." He said "Thank you, Stephen, for appearing on the show."
I said "It's been interesting." He said "Absolutely!" Len announced,
"Off air!"
Len came in and said, "People will hear between your words, and will
KNOW that governments have alien ships. You intended that." I said like
Urkel, "Did I do that?" They laughed. I said "All they have are of
those aliens I bottled up, and if they aren't careful, those ships will
blow themselves up. I told them that long ago. The few parts they have
from really smashed ships, well, they don't have a clue about them. If
they ever do figure them out, they won't need to, if you get what I
mean." They nodded. I said "It's odd though, that some things from
Earth, the people of the stars never thought of. Silicone rubber, for
example. I used some sheets of that to cushion some crystal art I gave
them, and they went almost wild over it. Not the art, but the silicone.
Earth has a registered patent on it in the Council, now, and some
products are in development." They both said "Wow!" I said "Oh, a
chorus!" They laughed. I said "And only Earth has natural rubber, that
I know of." They nodded.
Len answered his phone. He said to me, "We want you to keep going on
this now." I said "Tell them no. I want to be with my family. You know
they want me. Er, besides the usual." Laughter. I said "After the 4th
broadcast, as you've already planned. Let them digest what they've
heard today. Given a little time, most of the insistent questions will
find their own answers, from actual thinking." They nodded. I hugged
them with love, and ported home.
They jumped all over me. Rose said, "Why didn't you tell us you were
going to say all that?" I said "There was one big important reason. The
most important reason of all." Hawk burst out laughing. Then Rose
caught on, and laughed too. Chad suspected, but Dan was at a loss. Pete
and Ichi ported in, and wanted to know. I pointed to Hawk, and he said,
"Because he didn't know what he was going to say before the show." They
just stared at me. I said "It's like those performances without notice.
I just do what I think is right at the time. The way Don asked, and how
the flow went, well, it seemed like the right time and venue to reveal
some of it. So was cutting them off. They are going to take a lot of
heat for not keeping me for more explanations. That will make them call
in other experts to discuss what I said, who will agree with me where I
want them to, by the way I expressed it. Spreading it around like that,
is better than if I were the only source of the saying of it." Ichi
said in awe, "The Prime Situation Manager is managing the whole world!"
I said "A little, yes. Don't tell me it doesn't need it." They
couldn't, while they were kissing and hugging me with love. I really
didn't complain!
