Perhaps They are having a good old chuckle over the fact that 70% of 
Americans (so I've heard it said) believe that the US government is 
collaborating with the Greys, allowing the Greys to abduct humans for 
"biogenetic experiments" in exchange for stealth technology... While 
very few Americans indeed believe that transnational capitalism is 
eating away at their liberty by inducing a mind-numbingly conformist 
consumer mentality. "If They can get you asking the wrong questions, 
They don't have to worry about the answers."
