Haven't we been inadvertently sending our terrestrial broadcasts into space for decades? I remember a Futurama episode about aliens watching our TV programs.

  Are you referring to the "historical documents?"

    Same concept is also referenced in Starman(1984), Contact(1997), and Explorers(1985), off the top of my head.

There's that old adage that Man used to worship cats, and that cats still think that's true. I'm not positive the cats are wrong. I mean, consider the Internet. ARPA invented the Internet. And, it's clear that the Internet's primary purpose is as an avenue for Cat worship. Just as the cats want. ARPA became DARPA, DEFENSE Advanced Research Project Agency. DEFENSE! As in defending the homeland from external and existential threats. Normally they focus on things like lasers, and nuclear weapons, and preventing space rocks from slamming into the Earth and ending civilization. But, they still have their hooks into the Internet. Promoting adoption, increasing capability. And, as posited before, the primary purpose of the Internet is facilitating cat worship. What does DARPA know that we don't? MEANWHILE, we're having open Congressional panels about Aliens. No more cloak and dagger surrounding UFOs and and what not. That jig is up! Apparently, whatever secret pact the G-Men had with the Aliens is no longer in place. The cover is off, it's now just a matter of time. But where are the hearings on Cats and their paws at the throats of power? We don't hear about that, do we? Cleary, this is far more dangerous than anything intra- or inter-galactic aliens can bring to the table. So. I know, I know, I am but a whisper in the wind. An internet crackpot and troll. That, however, doesn't make the truth less clear. At the same time, this message should be questioned. My cat, Georgie, is here and let me send it. Why? I guess the cat being out of the bag is ok with them. And I must cut this short, apparently there a tummy that needs to be rubbed.
