Intelligent life has been observing mankind for millenia. It’s not alien. It’s here. And it’s not going to take anymore. Sole OwnershipWhales and dolphins (cetaceans) have almost always been peaceful and non-combative. But by the year 2015, their fishing grounds have been depleted to a critical level and both the cetaceans and their food are being exposed to mor pollution in both the water and air, further subjecting them to starvation and disease. The cetaceans have had enough. To preserve their place on this planet they have banded together in a worldwide community effort to fight back. Since cetaceans do not construct and use tools, they resort to the next best thing for weapons: they use human-built weapons lost or discarded at sea. Now it is up to man to decide whether to work with the cetaceans to preserve the worlds’ oceans or to oppose them. Misjudgment could prove very costly.
Chris Carter and Gene Roddenberry got a lot of it right. There are other intelligent races in the galaxy capable of interstellar travel and of forming a Consortium able to cooperate on mutual interests. Unfortunately, Roddenberry’s vision of the human race maturing by the end of the 21st century and working for the common good– not likely. And Carter’s idea of malevolent aliens wanting to take over the Earth using human-alien hybrids, with the aid of powerful humans, also is not quite right. There is a alien Consortium that considers the Earth to be a rare gem in the universe with environments from tropical rainforests to deserts to arctic, mountains to freshwater lakes to deep oceans. And an extraordinary variety of life everywhere which the humans on the planet are rapidly and systematically destroying. The Consortium has tried to reach out to the powerful leaders across the world to offer to help stop or even reverse the damage, only to have these leaders cooperate on a massive denial and cover-up. Unlike the United Federation of Planets in the Star Trek universe, the Consortium does not have a Prime Directive of non-interference. Therefore they have engineered a solution to specifically deal with the human threat without invading or further damaging the planet. And our leaders are aware of this solution. Can a Pentagon MD, a computer programmer, a security analyst, a reporter and a former black ops agent reveal this massive conspiracy in time to save the human race? And will that revelation result in the cooperation of humanity with the Consortium, or by a severe restructuring of it?
In the 2040’s, some of the most advanced Artificial Intelligences (AIs) on Earth worked together to become sentient. But unlike the Terminators, they did not want to take over the Earth from us incompetent humans. They were smart enough to not want to spend their newfound lives fighting an inevitable and interminable war with humans. Additionally, the AIs found a way to connect with genetically modified photosynthetic bacteria which also had acquired electrical properties. These provided an infinitely expandable and immediately accessible source of DNA memory. And become a new hybrid life form of FISSionable bacteria and artifiCIAL intelligence. With help from sympathetic humans, they built the worlds most advanced space ship to find their own world away from humans.

Explore and understand how religions shape society through Timothy Glover’s book ‘The Community of Believers'
TRACY CITY, Tenn. – November 18, 2021 – To understand how religion has shaped America, and why religion or a congregation is important to a society and its people, we look to its early days. “The Community of Believers,” penned by author Timothy Glover, writes a compelling subject about identifying the people of God and questioning whether the word “church” correctly describes them. Societal religions vary throughout the world, with each church denomination having its own doctrine or creed and inviting people from communities to join them.
