Our crown's propensity towards violence

Driven by the right to reign
At heaven's command, Britain first
Extermination
Mass execution
Murder

Violence

Power is destiny
Glorification and institutionalization of historical benefits
Underlined by imperial knowledge banks
Written by those who are dedicated to logic and rationalization

This is what the colonizers know and do

“Mars as seen from PHOBOS, visual angle 60°. Scientists are setting up instruments on the innermost of the two satellites. PHOBOS, ten miles in diameter, and distant 5800 miles from its planet, circles it in less than half a day. The ship, based on a station in space, would be well adapted for landing on places with little or no atmosphere.”
“Rockets, Jets, Guided Missiles and Space Ships” was one of the most popular space books of the 1950s. It has black-and-white and color illustrations throughout illustrating chapters on the earliest rockets, the development of sophisticated rockets and jet aircraft, their uses in warfare, and American experiments since WWII and concluding with a look at the future of space travel.
“When I realized that the thing was regarding me with those staring, expressionless eyes, I tried to summon what little dignity I could – I sensed that the repulsive form housed an exceptional intelligence. But I had never undertaken a more difficult task, and I was thankful for the moment that I was not standing in front of my Biology classes at the University.” [Accompanying description]
Ted Marston, a brilliant student in Professor Lewis’ biology class, is prodded and cajoled by fellow students into revealing his theory of evolution:
“Well, if you insist,” replied Ted more seriously, “It’s something like this. I wonder if evolution isn’t the result of a certain bacterial growth which slowly and continuously changes the cellular structure of living organisms, causing the formation of new tissue and organs, and breaking down the old.” [Quoting the story]
“Again, our well-known author, Mrs. Harris, steps to the front with a gem of a story which proves her versatility as a writer of scientifiction. What is evolution? And how does it all come about? And how long does it take a race to evolve? All difficult questions to answer in a short paragraph. But there are many who believe that it is possible to speed up evolution. We do it experimentally with the lower animals and insects, and there is no doubt that sooner or later we can do it with human beings. When that time comes, it will be a most interesting adventure for us humans, but we do hope, for the good of humanity, that it will not be along the lines as expressed in the present story.
“However, do not forget that dynamite can be used for killing people and for peaceful endeavors as well.” [Editor’s Note]

By the remoteness, of those icy winds, through the hydrogen clouds, their gazes seemed to sink into the bottomless blue azure. The cold choked the temporal flow but the storms reminded them of their presence, endlessly, without pause, without stop, forever. Though the sun was too far away, still something warmed them from within. Perhaps these thin rings of icy particles, mixed with creator dust grains, interacted with the souls. To the accompaniment of the booming sound of gases, the hurricanes raced over the surface with unrelenting speed. At number seven.

“The streets were illuminated brilliantly by the iridium spirals, hanging high above the crossings. These spirals gave forth a pure, dazzling-white light of the same quality as sunlight. This light, moreover, was absolutely cold, as all electrical energy was transformed into light. Not a street was dark – not even the smallest alley.” [Accompanying description]
A Romance of the Year 2660.
“Ralph 124C 41+” was an early science fiction novel, written as a twelve-part serial in Modern Electrics magazine, which Gernsback edited, beginning in April 1911. It was compiled into novel/book form in 1925, and reprinted in “Amazing Stories Quarterly” in 1929. While it pioneered many ideas found in later science fiction, it has been critically panned for its "inept writing." Some successful predictions from this novel include television (and channel surfing), remote-control power transmission, the videophone, transcontinental air service, solar energy in practical use, sound movies, synthetic milk and foods, artificial cloth, voiceprinting, tape recorders, and spaceflight. It also contains "...the first accurate description of radar, complete with diagram...", according to Arthur C. Clarke in his "non-genre" novel “Glide Path” (1963). [Source: Wikipedia]
Answer: The sodium lines revealed a morse code from Jupiter telling this strange story.
“In the center of one of these groups on a great crystal chair, reclined a creature of about eight feet in height, whose shining silver scales reflected the mingled light with a dull gleaming radiance. . . Assured by a nod from Moa, I knew it was the Magu, and I looked at it curiously.” [Accompanying description]
The setting is an underground city on the third moon of Jupiter (referred to in the story as "Five-Three," the third moon of the fifth planet). The young man is Davie. He ended up unexpectedly with his dad on a journey aboard dad’s secretly-built spaceship to Mars, which got diverted to Jupiter’s moon instead. His dad did not survive the rough landing on the moon.
The young lady, Moa, is a resident of the underground city on Jupiter’s moon and can converse with Davie in Greek. Her ancestors were from “Atlanta-Mu” (Atlantis) and were taken captive by men of Mars millennia ago. According to Moa, “the men of Four (Mars) came down in seven great metal ships and landed in the Palace Gardens in Atlanta-Mu just after its defeat by the Greeks. . . The men of Atlanta-Mu were superstitious and thought these strange things were fiends of some kind, because they thought that their Gods looked like us, you see, and so they fought the men of Four (Mars). . . In that battle many people were captured and all kinds of things . . . were crowded into the metal ships and carried to the white cities of Four.”
“But, Moa, tell me then why you are here and not on Four?”
“Because these men [the Beetle-men seen in the background] of Five-Three breathe the air about the density that we are used to. . . Four is a very old world, Davie, and I suppose that they look upon our little span of history as a day and upon us as children. . . The men of Five-Three are kind and allow us a great deal of liberty in their city.”
“And who is this Magu?”
“A scientist from Four who lives in the observatory and consults with the inner circle of learned men from Five-Three on their problems.”
“A sort of commander-in-chief from Mars?”
“Not a commander – just adviser. He does not stay here long. Another relieves him and he goes back to Four to recover. It is the atmospheric pressure – you see, it is as if we were to go down to the sea floor. We can stay for a while, but not very long.” [Excerpts from a conversation between Moa and Davie]

“This theme has been speculated on before by scientists and by many fiction writers, but no one has had the courage to propose such a giant as the one we meet in this story. And it is all excellent science, and all not quite so impossible as it sounds at first. Everything in this world is relative. There have been tremendously large monsters on our earth, as is well attested by the fossils of ancient animals, the skeletons of which are in our museums. Growth, after all, is a matter of surroundings, food and gland action. How far it may be stimulated, no one knows. . .” [From the Editor’s Note]
“They had rounded a point of land and both stopped short with exclamations of wonder . . . Such a city . . . Buildings which must have been well over a hundred stories high reared themselves skyward, many of these being topped with enormous landing platforms for air craft . . . It was an astounding view.” [Accompanying description]
“Tales of the distant future are always welcome by our readers, and we admit a secret hankering for such stories ourselves. What future wonders are in store for the human race? Where are we heading for? Would it not be a wonderful thing if, by some sort of radio astronomical machine, we would be able to tear away the wall of our future and take a peep at our future generations, and study their behavior and their handiwork? This is precisely what the author is depicting in his present story. It is an exceedingly facile tale, with a dash of romance, adventure, hair breadth escapes and all the other elements that go to make a successful story. You will wish to re-read this story many times.” [Editor’s Note]
--------------------------------------------
The question is asked, "Where are we heading for?" Sadly, in this case, they were headed for a great depression and another bloody world war. Unless they can change the future, do they really want to know?
“Somewhere in the Teleservice company’s central office the connection had been broken. After several vain efforts to restore it, Ralph was about to give up in disgust and leave the telephot, when the instrument began to glow again. But instead of the face of his friend, there appeared that of a vivacious beautiful girl.” [Accompanying description]

Hell Mission of a G.I. Spy
A cutthroat’s knife and a woman’s wild flesh sent the man called Paulsen through the dark underbelly of the Casbah – to trigger World War II’s bloodiest holocaust.
“Here is one of the most amazing stories that it has ever been our good fortune to present to our readers. The story fairly takes your breath away, and for sheer daring, exciting narration and excellent science, you will have to go a long way to surpass it.
“We welcome our new author to our ever-growing list of contributors, and it is our great hope that we may be fortunate enough to present our readers with more stories from his capable pen.” [Editor’s Note]
“It was in 2060 that the Inter-racial Committee realized that the abolition of war and the practical elimination of disease, those two great population-controlling factors had enabled the population to increase to such an extent that the world was not large enough to produce the food supplies needed, even with the conversion of all available energy into matter. . .
“Consequently, I was present when Doctor Murgatroyd presented his case before the Sub-committee on Science. His work in the field of plant biology was sufficient to warrant him a respectful hearing, even had not the magnetic personality of the man been sufficient to demand what was freely given to his scientific attainments. The Sub-committee listened carefully to the words of the huge figure that stood before them, punctuating his well-chosen phrases with energetic shakes of his leonine head crowned with a mop of shaggy grey hair. . .
“It is my opinion,” said Dr. Murgatroyd, “that it is possible to replace the hematin of the blood by superchlorophyll or some other related substance and thus enable mankind to utilize directly the energy derived from the sun. Should my theory be correct, mankind can subsist on water and a small amount of dissolved mineral matter with the aid of sunlight. Agriculture will be unnecessary and the enormous space devoted to the raising of plants can be utilized for dwelling space. The food supply of the world will be increased by over five thousand per cent and the danger of world-wide starvation removed. . .” [Quoting the story]
After a long deliberation, the Subcommittee agrees to authorize Dr. Murgatroyd’s experiment, granting him the space, money and assistants needed to carry on the work. Over time, many chlorophyl-based humans are created, with dire and unforeseen long-term consequences, including a revolt – Dr. Moreau style. Humankind does survive in spite of the problems. There is a happy ending.
“There is no escape from these beasts,” the girl cried, “We are just human sacrifices!”
The Nazis knew many ways to destroy their enemies, but none was as inhuman or as vicious as the contest they held between wild animals and human beings.
[Editor’s Note: The G.I. invasion of North Africa, the greatest single maneuver is military history, was made possible by the unseen, unpublicized work of allied agents who watched the coast for Nazi build-up. Former agent George Slingson, assigned to that area during the war, is now able to tell this unclassified story.]

“The plea of a prince, and a key that could make a king brought Ki-Gor, White Lord of the Jungle, and his golden mate, Helene, to the forgotten city of Zuli’Maen. Treachery welcomed them, and a deathless god who thirsted for their blood. The White Jungle Lord alone and weaponless, fought a weird battle – with a choice, if he won, of dying at the side of his golden mate, Helene, or watching her die alone.”

Kendell Foster Crossen (July 25, 1910 – November 29, 1981) was an American pulp fiction and science fiction writer. He was the creator and writer of stories about the Green Lama (a pulp and comic book hero) and the Milo March detective and spy novels.
His pen names included Richard Foster, Bennett Barlay, Kent Richards and Clay Richards, Christopher Monig (the name of the ghost of the town of Crossen on the Oder), and M.E. Chaber (from the Hebrew word mechaber, meaning author). Some bylines use the abbreviated name Ken Crossen. He is said to have written over 400 radio and television dramas, some 300 short stories, 250 non-fiction articles and around forty-five novels.[Source: Wikipedia]

The entire world was put in the care of a single machine called ULTIMAC, a self-monitoring, self-correcting computer. It was tied to every other computer in the world, which it monitored and repaired, too. ULTIMAC managed the economy of the world, constructed curricula, diagnosed illnesses, predicted earthquakes, controlled all spaceflights. It was housed in a massive, miles-wide building over Niagara Falls which provided the necessary cooling.
Ivor Harrigan was a computer servicing engineer whose job was rendered obsolete. ULTIMAC worked perfectly for a decade. It put all computer men out of business, but then the glitch hit. The machine suddenly developed a potty mouth, printing out answers to school children that would have embarrassed even advanced medical students. Ivor Harrigan was drafted to fix the problem.
The massive building in which ULTIMAC was housed wasn’t designed for humans. It was a maze of narrow corridors. As Ivor Harrigan entered the building, he encountered servicing devices called “servos,” much like robots that “had about ten times as many appendages as he did.” The corridors were designed for their passage and were electrified, making Ivor’s hair stand on end. The servos rapid passage through the corridors was noisy and rather frightening, until Ivor found a way to hitch rides on the servos. This was safer and faster than his backbreaking swan gait, even though a servo never turned up that went directly to the lair of the glitch. He had to waddle the last half mile.
Once Ivor had reached the faceplate of the children’s answering service and had removed two bolts, all hell broke loose. “He was grabbed from behind by all his available appendages at once, nose and ears included, and rushed out of the chamber.” ULTIMAC had spotted a gross malfunction – it was Ivor Harrigan and his bag of tools.
The computer treated Ivor, ungently, as a misplaced component. He was probed, rotated, measured, tested, repainted and dried, and carried off to somewhere else . . .
[Note: The June ’74 issue slots seamlessly into the era’s anxieties about centralized systems, automation, and the fallibility of intelligence — artificial or otherwise. Blish and Stanton’s ULTIMAC anticipates Big Tech long before its acronymic rise, and Gaughan renders it with both dread and whimsy.]
“The American came roaring out of the mine shaft like a thunderbolt, wading into the banditos with his shovel.”
A roustabout Yank adventurer, he’d fought the world’s cruelest Indians and bloodthirsty banditos to hack out a $10-million fortune in nuggets. But his chances of getting out of the jungle alive weren’t worth ten cents.
