You want the truth? You're not ready for the truth.
Aliens will take over the world in 2012. In order to do this they need to break our spirit and weaken a number of institutions.
Global warming, international terrorists, erosion of the international financial system, volcanoes, earth tremors, flooding - all are just the start of creating global unrest.
In addition - a number of key institutions that provide comfort and succour are under attack.
The aliens abducted Tony's Tannoys and replaced them with Harbeths. Tony had false memories implanted explaining their disappearance. These memories were cleverly constructed around questions Tony had in his mind - building and making use of the paranoia. But. They were not quite good enough. Tony has been remembering. He realises that something is wrong and is trying to put it right.
Be afraid.
