Greetings Flerthlings:
The world is constantly under threat if you believe the chicken-little doomsayers of the day. We're faced with the possibility of asteroids, aliens, climate change, terrorism, and Armageddon in all its forms.
All these threats necessitate a savior. These threats are of a universal nature, affecting all mankind equally across all demographics. We are all equally imperiled.
The savior for all these threats from the sky? The OBELISK.
It can be the emblem of the sun-worship, the stone pillar symbolizing the erection of the savior god, through whose intercession, one is saved from the sin-filled falled world and taken to HEAVEN above.
It may be the rocket ship, ready to take man to SPACE above, away from a pollution-filled world.
It may be the nuclear warhead tipped missle, the threat of which is enough to deter a worldwide disaster and ensure universal peace.
SO WHY IS IT that for every UNIVERSAL THREAT the technocrats of the day have an OBELISK to frighten it away? Could it be that the self-appointed SAVIORS are also the suppliers of the THREATS?
Could SIN be an invention of the Priests with the power to purify?
Could Global Warming be intentionally created with weather modification technology if not made up altogether in order to give the Scientist-Priests power to tax the "dirty" carbon emissions necessitated by human life itself?
Could WAR be a racket, instigated by the builders of the war machines?
