"Paul Revere" is correct, but is only privy to half (or less) of the full story.

While it has indeed been 60,000 years since Mars was last this close to Our Home, it will be this close again on August 28, 2287, or a mere 284 years from now. This becomes the horrific part.

Should the Reds (if I may so call these denizens of the Red Planet) succeed in their invasion this year, they will utilize Earthly proteins and fats to enrich their own protein and fat starved race. There is but one place on Earth where fats and proteins are found in the abundance needed: the brain. Precisely, in the brain of Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

When a member of the dominant species of Our Planet is captured and is to be used for food, the Reds will first initiate a procedure whereby two holes are made through the boney case, dura mater, and other cranial materials. They then insert a tubular device in each hole, through which the cereberal substance is orally evacuated by the native of the Ruddy Orb. Once both hemispheres have been so evacuated, the person is still able to perform all functions but those associated with thought. This has been done, secretly, on various members of the leadership clique of the United States, Britain, and certain other countries.

I urge you to resist this coming attack. Should you elect not to do so, whether such election is made through cowardice, apathy, or disbelief, you will assuredly find yourselves in the tentacles of those who are opposed to Our Way Of Life.
