Since 2017 ufos have made more headlines than at any time in decades. Ironically, even as some in government begin at long last to give credence to ufo reports, many true believers find themselves skeptical of this sudden about face in officialdom. I’ll leave the speculation to ufologists as to what it all means. (But I share the suspicion that a deception is afoot!)

While aliens lie outside the scope of the film series, for the purpose of this episode, the topic can serve as a metaphor.

The Stimson Center has published the results of an international poll, designed (it appears) to measure the readiness of Earth’s people for world citizenship and world government. Global integration, we are told, is the solution to every world puzzle.

Is life imitating art? Are the facts about to get even stranger? Stay tuned.
