This is very uneconomical scheme! It’s much cheaper and easier to stage a coup in an African country e.g. Namibia and install stooges so that a foreign take over of mining all the natural resources could take place.

TRB 3 and ultra-rubber suits for abduction of people and mutilation of farm animals were parts of the final card of alien invasion. Then the Power That Be could have complete control all earthlings!

Sometimes things can go haywire trying to go the cheaper route, much easier to send a huge pyramid spaceship to do the dirty work by bluetooth than bribe various puppet stooges who might get deposed by other warlords in the area lol.

Yup! Once robots and AI become much cheaper! Humans would become redundant!
