They asked many times from others to join and contribute but others are to busy making wars with each other and instability in the world obviously.

Hmmm... you think they would work on detecting them first. Can't shoot down or change the trajectory of a 'threst from outer space' if you don't know it is there.

It's definitely possible. It's also possible this is all just a bunch of propaganda to justify space weapons.

It could also be subversion tactics by some insanely organized group of people trying to get us to hate our own country.

We'll probably never know for sure.

2022 is too late. Earth is going to get pummeled by space debris when that Oct. 2014 comet hits Mars.
