216 DATE WITH THE GODS
wanted to get to the bottom of the Fatima message
incident. I'm sure they could. Today censorship on UFOs
is quite tight, but not for long. By the time you're
finished with this book, UFOs will be a matter of political
campaigning."
"You have to be joking! Oops, sorry, we're supposed to
be serious."
"I can understand your reaction. There is a nation in
this world that in about two years will be celebrating a
bicentennial holiday, a couple of wars on its hands, and
an open convention full of political scandals, to choose
one man who will be its next president. The man they
will choose has already seen UFOs, and if elected, will
make it public knowledge."
"Shall I call that a prediction or a prophecy?"
"I don't care what you call it. The point I'm making is
that a certain ideology in this world is gaining ground in
world affairs."
"What do you mean by ideology?"
"Monarchy is an ideology, democracy is another,
communism, socialism, totalitarianism .... "
"Forms of government? I know you don't want to use
names, but if we're going to be bringing a message
across, I'd like to be a little more specific."
"You figure it out."
"Could it be an ideology that started around the turn
of the century with a revolution? And has it been
present in two major wars? Does it have bases all over
the world, including one of the large Caribbean islands,
and in 1962 was a big issue?"
"That's the ideology."
"I read a book in Spanish that the Lady of Fatima
prophesied that communism would be taking over the
world before the end of the century."
"I know it has been written, but I still feel funny about
pointing fingers."
