The senators have concluded their briefing from the Intelligence personnel regarding the status of disclosure. They have the look on their faces. That helpless, confused look, like a pet disallowed from a dinner table.

The conversation invariably comes to how to deal with the growing curiosity of the domestic population. Every method is used. From decoy strategies, to obfuscation, to planting assets as false whistleblowers, to mass distraction programs, to propaganda from Hollywood.

“I’m not sure how much longer we can hold out on this.” says a Senator. “ If the people are ready, then the people are ready.”

The otherworlders have only transactional relationships. The general population really doesn’t have much to offer. In fact, they’re domesticated by their governments. This serves a dual purpose of protecting the interests of the otherworlders, and also to protect caste positions of the political classes.

Hiking on a trail, there is a man. He realizes he’s being observed by a wolf. The wolf knows to keep his distance from the two-legged. There is evolutionary conditioning that has ingrained this behavior into the wolf. The wolf does not know the nature of the walking stick the man uses. There is genetic memory in the wolf that knows it could be quite a treacherous feature of the two-legged. This is a degree of domestication.

The otherworlders provide benefits and advantages to the political class. This maintains an interest in the political class to avail the domestic population as a resource, and their resources, to the otherworlders for the transactional agreements the political class makes with the otherworlders. This is a degree of domestication.

The otherworlders are easily able to maintain this relationship with the political class. They see the political class a control. They know as long as they provide, incrementally, just enough special treatment, they can maintain this easy flow of resources without having to deal with the wild, undomesticated population. These are degrees of domestication.

Another Senator opines. “The more we buttress the levy, the worse it’ll be when she goes.”
