They hate children. They like the supposed power they get from those sick acts. It is the dark lord they worship who tells them it will give them power and invinceability. And they believe immortality. That explains the arrogance. I also think they understand free will which is why they mock us with compulsive confession with predictive programming and public ritual ie-superbowl, Goddard tunnel, music videos and movies. The majik doesn't work unless we willingly accept. At that point they have us. It's not working like it used to and the majik is broken so they are going into overdrive. I would suspect that the ritual killing is at an all time high in a desperate attempt to reverse the spin. It's all about energy, vortexes and majik. They truly wish to open the gates of he'll on earth to claim this kingdom from God so that Lucifer / baphomet can rule us. I am not at all sure that what we call aliens are actually demonic dimensional entities or fallen angels. I have suspected this for some time since my contact experiences. We are more powerful as humans than anyone realizes. They want what we have and they strive to make us blind to how powerful we actually are. Stepping into our own power renders them impotent. It's a wonderful thing to reclaim our spiritual power. We are special and they know it. They wouldn't need mind control for we weren't.
