The gods have landed
The Pacific Ocean has been dotted with many little islands with islanders that had not seen modern civilization and modern technology. Several decades back, they would not even have seen a ship or a helicopter. And as all civilizations behaved in a similar way, they looked to the sky or heaven for their gods. They prayed to anything that flew or came down from heaven.
These people were in a way happy with their own existence, self sufficient and without any worries of how to make ends meet. God has provided them well and they were quite contented. Then the day would come when modern civilization would dawn upon them. The White gods would land from the sky with all the roar and thunder and fire of their flying machine. And to the natives of these islands, these White men must be gods. And they looked up to them in fear and awe. They knelt and bowed to them, feasted them and let the gods to rule over them. And the gods knew that the natives were ignorant and simply took advantage of their simplicity and acted like gods and lived like gods to affirm the belief of the natives.
Today, in the 21st Century, history is repeating itself in another rich and prosperous island. The islanders were once very progressive and productive and had built a little paradise for themselves. But through the passage of time they were told that they were daft and lazy. And they believe, and other people from around the world also said so. Everyone is calling the inhabitants of the island stupid. And they believe too. How could they not when their leaders were a bunch of frogs. The frogs are the smartest and live in their ivory well. They have not seen much of the real world since they descended into the comfort zone of the well. And when they look up to the sky, it is as big as the well’s opening.
And sure enough, the gods came, descended from the sky. Every god is greeted with great admiration as some wonder beans, some super natural beans, definitely better than the local beans. And the gods were worshipped and prayed and feasted. The gods were elevated to all positions of importance to be the gods of the natives. And the natives cowered in awe and fear of these new gods. They felt inferior to the gods and accepted their new low down existence.
The gods knew how daft the natives were, including the frogs. So they acted and behaved like gods, walked like gods and lived like gods as expected by the natives. The more they acted as gods, the more impressive they became and the frogs were in high praises of these gods.
Without their knowledge, these new gods started to plot for their continued existence and dominance as the privileged gods, above the mortals, above the natives, to be served and ruled over the natives, including the frogs. Who knows when they would chop up the frogs to be served as frog leg stew when the day comes to rule over the natives and the frogs. And what's next when the frogs were gone?
The new gods have arrived and shall inherit the paradise from the natives. A new religion will be founded for the daft natives to believe in. The gods have found their willing and daft followers and believers.

Sinkies make good followers. Soon there will be no Sinkie leaders left in the island.
It is never foreigners fault if and when they manage to call the shots and or lord over the locals. Unless they invade the land by force, the aliens are all invited by the ruling and business people. When and if the locals lose out to the aliens and get poorer for everything, it is the political leaders that cause it, NOT THE INVITED ALIENS.
Do not blame the wrong party.
Sinkies should spend some times with the uncles and aunties at casinos, recreation clubs and community clubs to enjoy living.
Talk to them to get some wisdoms of which the greatest is trust our leaders. Most are of the view that our leaders will never allow any situation that will make living miserable. And the folks believe that there will never be any flow of blood in Sin due to poor performance from our chenghu.
Many actually said that it is foolish to be apprehensive and worry about the future. Their motto is to enjoy living by enjoying the funs of doing whatever that makes one happy. Leave the management of the country to the best people in the land. They have proven their mettles and integrities for nearly half a century and will
not do wrong for our wellbeings.
Have faith in our leaders, say the oldies.
What say You ?
If all the documentary evidence about ancient civilisations are to be believed, advancement in technology and knowledge is not going to save mankind.
Why did the ancient civilisations just disappeared despite the evidence discovered that they were far advance in many fields of knowledge, including science and technology?
People should learn to be protestants. Always seek the truth and not be slaves to religion, power, money, theory, beliefs, superstition, propaganda.
