I have a theory for all of this. It might get lengthy but it's worth telling and reading. If you are religious, I am not out to offend only discuss.
Let's get a little history first on this. Homo sapiens has been around for 250k years, give or take. There were predecessors of course. There has always been that missing link. Humans toiled away in the stone ages fro 100k years, never figuring out more. Then we see a dramatic shift in human cognitive ability.
This coincides with a period of time a few thousand years before written history. The oldest written history we know of is sumerian, about 8k b.c. So a few thousand years before writing, we got smarter, a lot smarter.
Now on to scriptures. Christianity is taken from Judaisim, which was taken from Babylonian, which was taken from Sumerian. Islam as well. These religions carry a central theme that is seen across the world in ancient tribal cultures. The creator from the heavens, etc. Even down to the common theme of a flood and the original humans bearing twins.
Religion was the first great lie. I believe, from what I have researched, that we are about the 5th or 6th generation human. We are the culmination of efforts to create humans that can ascend to the spiritual levels of our creator. Our one true purpose is to evolve spiritually. We once worked with these beings, the creators. Ancient tales from around the world tell us this. Tales far older than the religions. We once worked with the creators and then we stole the knowledge. I believe there was a council of humans that worked directly with the creator, humans of each major archetype (black, red, yellow, and white). Whether it was the fire from Olympus, the fruit from the tree, the bundle from the teepee, we stole the truth. The truth was then used to subjugate man. The truth was used against our fellow man for power, fame, fortune, control. This is what angered God, the creator. The Bible is 90% lies and 10% truth. The truth can be found by comparing evidence from around the world.
Now we can move forward through time. Royalty throughout history can be traced back to one group, one region. European royalty hails back to the middle east. African royalty to central Africa. Asian royalty to western Asia and Eastern Europe. The northern Native Americans didn't have royalty but southern and central Natives did. They can also be traced back to a certain region. These royalty had one job. To safeguard the truth, and use it to perpetuate the family lineage.
What does this have to do with now? Long ago the elites figured out that you can't control a population through violence or force. Devils were created to explain man's inherent failures, man's own lack of evolution. Once the devils are created and manifest, you can then coerce the population to rely on you to fight the devils. Problem, solution, action. They created the problem, then suggested a solution, and enacted the action.
What is currently happening is an outward presentation of the results of decades if not centuries of progress behind the scenes to further separate us physically, geographically, socially, and spiritually. the further we are separated, the weaker we become. What this means for the elites is that they can continue their reign. They don't want to enslave us all and kill the ones who resist. That doesn't accomplish their goals. They want us to be indifferent, unaware of their actions.
We are in the midst of a war for our humanity. This is a war to decide if we will continue to be spiritually bound, or evolve and join the galactic community. We have incredible potential in our minds and souls. Even the untrained can see through time and space. Imagine what we can accomplish as a species, with our minds focused on what is really important?
This is just my theory, feel free to question, etc. I have more sauce, it's just that this is already very long. I'm not sure but perhaps the knowledge of who/what/when/where/why of humans is the 40% that Q doesn't want us to know. We can't handle the truth that we've been lied to, and the truth of what the elite do with their power.
