exists only because they believe it exists. It has reality only in their minds. While the surface dweller'sattention is glued to mindless conventional TV garbage, you watch the top secret network where you arekept up to date on such things as cutting edge science and progress in deep space exploration andcolonization. You know the future of the surface population - not because you are psychic - because allmajor future events are deliberately planned and choreographed by the "World Controllers" who livebelow. If a surface dweller could somehow watch top secret TV for ten minutes, his belief systemwould be totally wrecked and his life altered forever.
RED TEAM - BLUE TEAM
Suppose you own a company. You want to find a way to increase productivity - the gross companyoutput. So, you decide to have a contest with some kind of prize for the winner. You split the workersinto teams: the Red Team and the Blue Team. The company output rises because both teams are nowworking harder hoping to win the prize. However, you, as the owner of the company, get to sit quietlyabove the game and watch. You don't care which team wins because you own them both. However,you do care and are pleased that the gross company output has increased.
Now lets "globalize" this concept. Consider the possibility that the planet Earth has an owner. Thenations are not independent but are, in reality, the Red Team, Blue Team, Yellow Team, Green Teamand so on. If the nation "teams" are at peace, the gross planetary output is low. However, if there is waror, better yet, the threat of impending war, the competition among the teams will increase resulting in anincreased global planetary output. As the owner of Earth, you sit quietly and secretly above the game.You don't care which nation rises or which nation falls. All you care about is that the gross planetaryoutput is maximized.
Now, for a specific example: The years of the so called "cold war" between the United States and theSoviet Union is an excellent example of this concept. This couplet of "US-SU" was programmed tobelieve that each was on the way to annihilate the other and they would be arriving at any moment. TheUS told its people they had to work harder because the SU was coming and the SU told its people thatthey had to work harder because the US was coming. Actually, no one was coming. However, thebelief that doom was lurking just around the corner greatly accelerated technological development andinnovation. So, as the "game master", you got to watch your terrified slaves scurry around and deliver toyou sophisticated technologies that you would not have received if the two "teams" were in a state ofpeace.
Incidentally, the "gross planetary output" of food is sufficient to feed three worlds the size of Earth. So,on a fair playing field, no one should go hungry. This, of course, assumes you want a fair playing field.
To summarize: World at peace = low gross planetary output. World at war = increased gross planetaryoutput. Clearly, the masses would choose peace. The leaders, however, would opt for constant war.
