Much of what Summers has to say does not add up. If other races are not allowed to take our world by force, who is doing the enforcing? Why? Are those enforcers so incredibly stupid that they cannot see through false promises? Is domination by dishonesty really allowed with primitive civilizations like ours? If there is a race or races that wish to dominate the world, why didn't they do it sooner when there were fewer people who were even less sophisticated and trivial bits of technology would have sufficed?
Why would an advanced race need human labor? By some accounts, androids are relatively commonplace in advanced civilizations and would likely be more reliable than humans. There are also indications that other races have already been gathering biological samples without any assistance.
By many accounts it seems that earth already has advanced technology for free energy, gravity control, and more, and it is the work of earth inventors and scientists (Tesla, T.T.Brown, many others). Although an advanced device may show you that certain things are possible, reverse engineering such a device isn't possible until you have a basis for understanding how it works - the physics that the mechanism employs. It is people in secret programs who are keeping this science and technology from the rest of the world, and who could release it if they so desired. We don't need ETs to supply these devices.
Although there is wisdom in being cautious, that must be balanced against the dangers of xenophobia and viewing all ETs as a threat. People are much too quick to fear and kill those who are different from themselves.
The path the human race is currently on is not sustainable and will lead to the collapse of civilization if some things don't change pretty darned quickly, especially in the areas of energy sources, pollution, and harvesting faster then the earth can renew (fish, trees, etc.). If we are to avoid a situation that gives false ET saviors an opportunity to step in, these problems need to be addressed. My opinion is that no false ET saviors will appear and we will be allowed to suffer the consequences of our actions with perhaps a small amount of "humanitarian" aid.
