Use The Farce By Ron James

August 2025

So, I’m interviewing yet another contactee. Or maybe I should call them an experiencer.

Or maybe they’re the victim of an alien abduction. Oh, wait — sorry. We don’t say that anymore.

Apparently, the preferred term these days is something softer. Something that doesn’t sound like you woke up in a horror movie directed by H.R. Giger.

For one thing, most people now agree that these alleged aliens aren’t really butt-probing, anonymous, telepathic monsters — as has been previously alleged.

No, no. They’re benevolent, enlightened beings who have humanity’s best interests at heart. They only want to confirm and encourage our path to cosmic enlightenment.

That whole “render you paralyzed in your bed, scare the living hell out of you as freaky-looking little beings walk through your walls and haul you off for unspeakable procedures” — yeah, that’s just their way of saying “hello.”

They don’t mean anything by it. It’s just their… cultural way of making friends.

So… bend over and prepare to receive knowledge.

Apparently, once you get past the icebreaker phase — which involves being abducted against your will — things get a little more philosophical. Now, you’re getting visions of a bleak future, dire warnings about the environment, and cautionary tales about human greed. You know — classic best friend stuff.

Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing but respect and compassion for contactees, experiencers, or abduction victims — whatever we’re calling them this week.

I honestly believe they’re next in line to have their day in the sun.

And if we’re ever going to make sense of this phenomenon, their testimonies are part of the puzzle.

So, let’s review the greatest hits of alien messaging:

Humanity must abandon its self-destructive, violent tendencies.
We must love ourselves, love each other, and love the planet.
Our souls are unique.
There are unseen beings watching over us from invisible realms, rooting for us to succeed.

It’s overwhelmingly encouraging, and they wish to be supportive by helping us be our best selves.

And then — in an entirely different genre — there’s the whole “reptilian overlords” subplot. You know, the ones eating babies, enslaving humanity, and using us as livestock. Totally different vibe.

But I digress.

Here’s the thing: As profound as these messages may sound, there’s nothing new in them.

Humans have been getting these memos since the dawn of civilization. The packaging changes, the messenger changes, but the lyrics are the same.

Once upon a time, these were visions from God on the mountaintop. Now they’re

telepathic downloads from something that looks like it escaped from the Star Wars cantina.

But it’s still the same advice your grandmother could have given you.

And as I listen to yet another contactee tell me their version of the story, I realize… I don’t doubt them anymore. I believe them.

Because the who or what behind it all is almost irrelevant.

The real question is: When the hell are we going to start listening?

It’s a new band, but the song remains the same.

And wouldn’t it be great if more of us actually learned the words?
