Not meaning to blow my own trumpet, but that was one facet of my recent 'Peggy Powler' stories had attached
to it! Control in or over a society always seems to require that threat of punishment if one strays from a credo
or even questions the doctrine.

Oh now come on, yer've gotta admit it's a good sell!!
No proof needed and the reward can only be required in a paradigm where any evidence to the preferred adherence
can not be transmitted back to the living -except by the Elders of that belief!

Actually, the example you offer can be aligned to this thread's discussion. Isn't the whole situation of these celestial
crafts and their occupants being parcelled in such a way that the masses will need to heed those who are currently
attempting to take over the narrative.
Even now, the public are limited to what they can know, private meetings with only selected officials, a website that
held an interview with Grusch not available in Europe and a change in descriptive language regarding the phenomena.
Don't get me wrong, I want this to be true, it's just the manipulative handling of the subject that makes me cautious.
