war between the forces of good and evil was not concluded in pre-diluvian times. The “Dark Ones” were drastically reduced in physical numbers and they had lost most of the technology that channeled their powers. What was left of this computer hardware was often sequestered in areas that we now refer to as the inner sanctum of a temple, or as the “Holy of Holies,” etc. Only the “initiated” could enter such precincts, others being threatened with death and damnation if they became curi- ous and dared. The Biblical references to the Arc of the Covenant and Moses’ warnings about its powers clearly denote some kind of unpredictable and deadly radioactivity. It is also rumored that the arc contained the remains of the leader of the “Fallen Angels” or others of his 200. The word arc comes from arche, meaning the first, the original, or even, the orig- inator, and also from arca, which translates as “tomb.” And the Israelites declared the so-called arc to “contain” God himself. Words like arcadia, monarch, archon, and arktos The loss of the majority of this technology was of singular irritation to the alien visi- tors and was sorely lamented. And so, in the post-diluvian times, they set about ener- getically manipulating events that we now read as history to bring them to the point where they could reproduce the technological hardware that was so invaluable. This is an act that was begun by the Council of Elders in Asia Minor over 11,000 years ago. They have compelled us to the heights of technological expertise at the expense of other areas of human development, as lamented by innumerable philosophers, roman- tics, social critics, and activists. The major advances in civilization are processes that wreck the societies in which they occur. (Alfred North Whitehead) Regarding the practicality of their meta-plan, they knew it would take centuries to come to fruition. However, there was no choice but to commit to it, since it meant that they could finally vacate their prison Earth and roam the infinite skies, or perhaps even return to their own planet. The Renaissance, the Industrial Age, and the present Silicon Age stand as testaments to their success. It is our belief that the end game is to be played out in our times and that it is in fact being played out as we write. Unfortu- nately, this is not the place to chart the entire machinations of these beings from 11,000 years ago. We can, instead, make reference only to a period closer to our own age, one that is of paramount importance in the understanding of all that has been hith- erto mentioned. We are referring to the late Renaissance and Elizabethan ages. For it 78 This Place is Terrible! contain this strange prefix. I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.
