Steve,

Thank you for what you're doing and the space you have created here. It is genuinely appreciated. My encounter with these people, however we chose to call them, was pretty mellow and peaceful thankfully. I've seen one far off, similar scenario to that shakey  cell video of the big guy in the river you shared with us. There was no doubt about what I was seeing. Listening to others here, I believe a few other unusual happenings i have experienced can possibly be attributed to them as well. Bottom line they are real and I do not need proof. Like you I'm focused on the truth and larger picture. There are a few recurring themes that come up here that have me asking questions. A big one for me is the DNA evidence. Admittedly I am no scientist and am not certain exactly how it all works when sampling and testing. We obviously share an ancestor and a significant portion of DNA with these people, and you have mentioned that there is evidence of tampering with genes. Can the scientists tell who's genes have been manipulated or just that we have diverged at a point in the past? I know this will ruffle feathers, which is exactly why I feel it needs to be said, but isn't it possible that it was humans who were altered? When I pair that with a statement you've shared about governments wanting only to keep control of the labor to appease the entity or something to that effect I can't help but think modern humans are the ones manipulated and tweaked to be better worker bees. It would seem to nicely explain why so many people are quick to swallow the narrative, hook line and sinker with barely a blink even though it's obvious BS. I mean a highly intelligent, 1,000+ pound apex predator, seemingly indifferent to material possessions or the trappings of our society with what seem like supernatural skills and perfectly in tune with its environment doesn't strike me as an ideal labor pool. That definitely does not address the issue of the many encounters that suggest a recent arrival and their connection to the unusual phenomenon happening in the skies. I can only offer the possibility that if there is one "entity" there are almost certainly many more, and much like people, they are likely to have different and even opposing agendas. Perhaps their seeming inability to really harm us is actually some combination of directives from some entity, emotional maturity and / or pity on their abused and beaten kin. Actions have consequences and if there are opposing entities, initiating violence on one of the people under the protection or influence of one or the other may invite a larger conflict. If I may offer my opinion, while fighting can be an absolute necessity, I believe that the best course of action in the particular struggle humanity faces today is to walk away and withdraw all support from the evil in this world. Take your money, time and energy away and direct it towards building truly supportive communities like what you have built here. Without individual consent and support the machine will crumble and fall without ever having to lift a finger against it. Thank you for the opportunity to share at the table. 

Respectfully,
Josh
