If I worked for NASA in Public Relations, and I didn't want folks getting
upset about future predicted scary comet activity coming right at us; it
would pop into my mind to tell everyone how we have all this stuff under
control - diverting the trajectory, moving planets, whatever it takes.
Advertising may not be able to fool all of the people all of the time, but it
can fool all of the people some of the time. Like now.
If the status quo is not maintained right up until the end, the wealthy
people might take it into their minds to liquidate their assets, pack up all
their jewelry and charter jets to dive into one of the polar openings for
safety, which would upset our economy. And the middle class people might
decide to call in sick to work and take their families and a pickax to Mt.
Shasta or Everest or that Etidorhpa cave looking for a way inside to safety.
That would leave the jobless and homeless to keep the system running.
What I can't figure out is WHY the system needs to keep running til the last
moment. Evidently this is important to whatever wants to keep us ignorant.
