Gradual Disclosure (Ra 24.19)

[anagogy]

I am interested in speculation on what "events" could have changed this plan and how exactly 'they' they were going to (or currently are) alert the general population to the Others' presence? I realize some may think they know for certain exactly what is going on with that, but I will personally take all of that with a grain of salt since we are referring to a dubious organization (the US government).

The events that changed the gradual alerting of us to their presence in my opinion was the influence of the Orion federation encouraging the formation of an elite shadow government, free from all checks and balances, intent on maintaining control through the suppression of all technologies that might free us from the slavery of normal life.  It is not so much that they are opposed to the world knowing alien life forms are visiting Earth, and have been for the entirety of our species evolution, but rather, the inevitable loss of control of us once we were freed from the constant rat race of apparent competition for resources, which is exactly what access to these alien technologies would provide us with.  So all sightings are inevitably ridiculed, all significant evidence destroyed, and all other anomalous evidence is rejected by the mainstream orthodox scientific community because it has been deemed taboo and even heretical in the atheistic religion of scientism.

Now, having said that, the gradual alerting of the world to their presence still continues, unabated, and is obvious for anyone with eyes to see.  However, a sizable portion of the human population is by all rights and reasonable purposes still dead asleep, and won't bat an eye at such gradual increase in anomalous happenings till they reach such epic proportions that even the mainstream media can no longer ignore, suppress, or laugh it away.
