(BELL SOUND)
I love a good riddle or puzzle.
Well let's look at it, shall we?!

'Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts and their BROKEN PROMISES...'
One of the main problems here is that we -as humans, do not have the ability to obtain and understand the perceptions
the alleged aliens have of ourselves. If this message is genuine, is it in a purist-form we globally believe aliens adhere to
for their species to survive during their evolution...?
The words of the first sentence certainly doesn't imply this. This is a warning of wolves in sheep-clothing, subtly-constructed
connivance to obtain something from another via fake benefits and dishonesty. Have these aliens interacted with other species
in the universe that manage their respective planets through these means and is such governing is fairly common, but frowned
upon by this single species of off-worlders?!
Does this not hint of 'My Way or Highway'...?A veiled threat in the form of a false gift of words?!!
Remember, we're supposed to believe a higher technology signifies a more accomplished species,

'Much PAIN but still time...'
This sentence is about hope, discomfort through adversity, but with the faith that a better time will come. Again, biblical in its
format and an implication that a better alien-effected future lies ahead. But is this message also hinting that the very physical
make-up of ourselves, the evolved system that warns of danger for the majority of creatures on Earth is inferior or flawed?
Our human civilisations grew from such physical and mental sufferings and the lessons brought us to where we are today.
Was all that growing in error or is this 'PAIN' sentence merely an opinion?! More concerning for the global system that we've
developed within, if one is religious, does this means one's deity is/was wrong?!
Remember, this is a message of contact... subtle terminology and appropriate sophistication are attributes to an intelligent
species. One would offer objective facts that could be proven, present nonpartisan information to show genuine interest in
future association. If we rely on the many accounts of alien abduction, the shadowy grey represented in the cornfield would
know opinions on Earth are like the assholes they probe, everyone has one.

'BELIEVE.'
Another leap of faith, a trust in an outcome that cannot be proved before one takes that step. Very Trojan-esque and would
obviously bring doubt to that one word if we have been monitored through our maturing as a species. This single suggestion
can also draw suspicion to their first sentence.
'There is GOOD out there.'
I have never rode a rocket into space nor took part in a deep theological debate, but this quote is undeniably religious in its
context. 'Good' is a high moral standard that may not be unique to this planet, but if an off-world species was to make contact
via a prominent language of the planet it wished to communicate with, the use of such an ambiguous adjective -if that is the
correct column of descriptive nouns to place it in, isn't an ideal manner to transmit its own ideals.
Especially in a Crabwood Farm cornfield and without the presence of Jodie Foster and Judy Faltskog.

'We OPPOSE DECEPTION.'
So we can take it that betrayal of high moral 'goodness' either occurred during the evolution of these aliens or they have come
across such malfeasance on other planets they have visited. They are aware of such a behaviour and yet, oppose it.
Could this not once more be a manner of stating one's own agenda should be adhered to by the contacted party?
'Conduit CLOSING.'
Give me a break, this is another example of how humans always-always pretend that highly-specialised and highly-scientific
species communicate. Put it another way, when we sent out the Pioneer 10 craft, the very basics for understanding who and
where we are, is on the plaque. There's no cryptic-spooky enigmatic etching to imply something irrelevant to the message or
give the impression that something else is involved in this information delivery that we may hint at, but refrain from telling
the receiver.
Conduit closing... what conduit? Whooooo.

In my humble opinion and just as I've always perceived the many interactions on this wonder we call the internet, it's just
kids playin' on the phone or in this case, adults acting like kids farting about in a cornfield.
