On June 20, 1977, Anglia TV in England broadcast a documentary titled Alternative 3.
Alternative 3 is also the name of a book by Leslie Watkins and David Ambrose
[amazon-0380446774]
Both the documentary and the book involved a scenario in which the elites of the Earth saw the planet facing inevitable ecological doom.
- Alternative 1 — to drastically reduce the human population on Earth;
- Alternative 2 — to construct vast underground shelters to house government officials until the crisis had stabilized;
- Alternative 3—to establish a “Noah’s Ark” colony of humanity’s best and brightest off of the planet, preferably on Mars.
The documentary and book are declared fiction. But regardless, the elites have caught on the the utility of using fictional scenarios as a means to confuse and subdue a weary population:
