How will we trade with aliens?

Waking up today, I am shocked to see the headlines about aliens wrecking the world’s financial markets. Apparently, various American politicians have kind of confirmed that aliens are real, admitting to an 80-year cover-up including Dulce Base in New Mexico and Area 51, Nevada.

The reason this came up today is that, if confirmed true, this could create a widespread panic in the financial world. Specifically, Helen McCaw, who served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank, has just written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England’s governor, urging him to set out contingencies if the White House confirms the existence of alien life, according to The Times.

Ms McCaw, who worked for the Bank of England for 10 years until 2012, said politicians and bankers can no longer dismiss talk of alien life, and warned that if the USA confirms alien life exists then it could lead to major bank and financial collapses.

She reportedly said: “The United States government appears to be partway through a multi-year process to declassify and disclose information on the existence of a technologically advanced non-human intelligence responsible for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).”

UAP is the formal term for a UFO.

“If the UAP proves to be of non-human origin, we may have to acknowledge the existence of a power or intelligence greater than any government and with potentially unknown intentions.”

Her warning comes as senior American officials have indicated their belief in the possibility of alien life.

In a recent UFO documentary, The Age of Disclosure, 34 US government insiders, including those from the military and intelligence community officials, were spoken to about a “global cover-up of non-human intelligent life and a secret war among major nations to reverse-engineer advanced technology of non-human origin”.

The director, Dan Farah, spoke with sources including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, New York Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, to discuss the government’s work with UAPs.

Marco Rubio told the documentary maker: “We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours.”

Ms McCaw said: “UAP disclosure is likely to induce ontological* shock and provoke psychological responses with material consequences ... There might be extreme price volatility in financial markets due to catastrophising or euphoria, and a collapse in confidence if market participants feel uncertain on how to price assets using any of the familiar methods.”

The former Bank of England worker explained there might be a rush towards assets such as gold or other precious metals, and government bonds, which are perceived as “safe”. Alternatively, she said precious metals might lose their status as perceived safe assets if people speculate that new space-faring technologies will soon increase the supply of precious metals.

Given these scenarios, my question would be: do aliens use money?

 

* Ontology is the philosophical study of ‘being’ which encompasses all of reality and every entity within it. Ms McCaw is implying that, if the US confirms aliens are out there, it will make us question everything about what it means to be a human being, the meaning of life and more.
