[Govt. preparing for the Rapture. “Aliens kidnapped them all.”]
Their recent harping on “UFOs” is sounding a lot like that, IMHO.
That might very well be “The Lie” that they exchange for the truth.
When the “Virgin Mary” suddenly appears with the Pope and some Imam to join in some public show of world solidarity, it will seal beginning of the final economic, political, and religious tyrannical regime.
The remaining 95% of the population will need some sort of explanation to calm the fear. What better way to do it than through a fake religious trio made in hell?
