Official Intelligent Beings: How Our Devices Became Us, And The World Consumed Itself by Josh Greenfield Page A

something of grave importance—something that only a few others know about. I trust you are beginning to see why you were shown that something. But I am not here to help you understand your place in all of this. I am simply here to show you what plan has already been set in motion and why you may want to consider sharing the truth with those willing to listen.”
    “The truth?”
    “Come with me and I’ll show you.”
    Henata grabbed his hand and they began flying at a very fast, yet gentle, speed towards a planet below them.
    “As we get closer, you will begin to recognize the beings that inhabit this planet. Ani Rudh, the Alien you encountered today, lives amongst trillions of others on Foüan dañtæ. They are far more advanced than the humans on Earth, but they have managed to upset and diminish all of their resources and have been searching for a new planet to inhabit.”
    “Why Earth?”
    “Well it’s not just Earth that they are looking to inhabit. There are trillions on their planet and they sent scouts all over the galaxy hoping to find a planet big enough for everyone. They are prepared to inhabit multiple planets if that is the best that they can do. After all, smaller planets are more likely to be defeated and controlled and less likely to be as advanced, for a larger size often means rapid growth in all areas.”
    “So what you are saying is that the Earth is just one of many planets they are hoping to control, but there’s a chance they’ll find a planet large enough for them to all live on together?”
    “That is what they were hoping for. But after many years of searching they have given up the notion that such a planet exists within reach. So they have already begun their plan to attack Earth and claim it as their own. The Phrells do not care about your freedoms. They have studied your history and deem your world and your species useless, not unlike how humans once saw insects before wiping them out,”
    “Insects? I don’t understand. What are they?”
    “There was a time when such creatures existed and even did good in the world. But humans found them to be pestering, hence the term bug that they became known as, so they created tools to wipe out the bugs that they thought were unnecessary. Little did they know, that the methods they used to wipe out some bugs were not selective and killed all insects, for the creatures all existed as one greater whole. Over time, however, we helped humans with their problem and they grew to be okay with the outcome. They simply learned ways to survive without the bugs, as we created compounds to work as the bugs once did.”
    “And how was that possible?”
    “Anything is possible when you have the Beings guiding you. We have infinite knowledge and Redemet was able to develop a technique to emulate the bugs’ processes. It is this same perspective that the humans had towards bugs that the Phrells have towards humans. They might have been more sympathetic, but they studied humans and have seen what people are capable of. They see no difference between the humans wiping out a species and them wiping out the humans. They figure, wipe out the humans and then take control over us Beings, thinking we will share our infinite knowledge with them and help them restore balance in their world.”
    “So they know about you and they want you to lead them?”
    “In a way, yes. They know most of what there is to know about our race. It didn’t take much time to figure it all out, what with the whole world being so connected by an interweb. It didn’t take them but a few minutes to download the entire collective cyber-human consciousness.”
    “So what can we do about it? What can I do about it? Shouldn’t you be able to do something about it?”
    “Jagz, you must understand, we, as the Official Intelligent Beings, are not here to fight for your Earth. We are here to guide you. We are here to guide everyone in the ways of love, of creating life, of creating
