Hello Eli,
That second post is well written and known to be true. The following is in no was a disparagement of that posted writing, but pertains and applies to the first one, primarily. This writing is an attempt to explain logic must be applied to most any writing for assessment of truths or falshood. Mankind cannot afford to just accept a written notice as the truth without applying logic. The notice from an Alien is such a writing. It is possible that it was written by an extraterrestrial but it was not proven. So, it is only logical that it not be accepted as the truth. That, of course, does not stop many of us from wishing it were the truth. LOL
For many who peruse the writings of controversy on the Internet and have a knowledge of things beyond the scope of normal conversation, there appears those who are aware of problems in society; who without disparagement or criticizing the accused have the ability to speak of that problem without naming anyone. That's really cool. The second writing is known to be true because I have personally experience such.
While some of these writings come from sources or claims of extraterrestrial comment origination, they come without evidence truth that may or many not already be known. The statements may be truthful or could even be trying to play on the sensitivity of vulnerable readers who have a tendency to believe almost anything.
To suggest that humans not make determinations in a normal analytical way could be considered an insult to human intellect. For those who will believe almost anything that is originating in writing, the writings may be messages that confirm what some believe to be the truth. To normal human though, however, they are messages offered without proof from sources where there has been absolutely no proof of local truth. My opinion only counts for one, but it has always been my belief that that humankind requires proof in order to determine true or false statements.
With these few comments written, this recluse thinker has to ask, "Where is the Beef?"
This is the way of thought from this analyzer. The two writings remind me of a new word that is often used in our world of American diction; "sheeple." For belief of these two writings, mine is an offering of determination as follows. There is a possibility they could be the truth. But none has been offered. My Thought must have logic applied for consideration, but anyone may consider mine is prejudiced because I have a belief in Religion. But common human thought requires should a thing be believed, it must logically be followed with proof. That is the way of normal logic. Ate there those who would ask us whether normal logical thought is wrong? Wishing it were the truth does nothing to make it the truth. Only logic can be applied. That is the thing that makes we humans normal logical thinkers.
One may correctly ask whether I contradict myself by believing in Religion. Religion is a thing that does not require proof, but offer something in return. To believe in Religion indicates one wishes to receive that which is offered. I wish to receive the afterlife guaranteed for believing in my Lord, therefore I believe. So, I suggest that my belief in Religion is totally logical. It can be argued but nothing can be resolved from arguing religion. It is the logical way of a great number of humans.
Consider this,one may argue my Religion, but this message is about logical thought process not Religion. Can logic be applied to writings without proof? Yes, because we can logically say there is no proof that it is true. That is the logical human way.
As for the message passed on by Eli, I can say it was very interesting to read and represents a method of accusation to those who commit what we consider wrong without naming specific agencies or individuals. it is a truly interesting post. Things may be learned from post which have not been proven, just as thing being learned from post that have been proven.
Notice that I have not called the writers liars. They are simply writers who have not proven their words. The logical thinker cannot take in solace in unproven words.

PS: Yes, I know these comments represent an overkill of that which I am conveying. I guess it is an attempt to not be misunderstood. LOL
