IP

It was a time when "IP" meant "Internet Protocol". The basis of this thingy enabling you to read this post...
These days, even articles on geek sites like this Slashdot take "IP" for "Intellectual Property".
What a change in so few time!
We, The Great Old Ones are well aware of Change. But We see and yield it on long eaons you feeble humans can barely cope with.

But...

Why do you, especially your leaders, politics, economics, financials... Why do you lose time with such petty questions ?

I mean, the Internet Protocol is a tremendous technology. It was never patented. Open to everyone wanting to use it.
What's this mess protecting not so new ideas for greedy profit ?

Well... I should not complain. It will serve Us. Nonetheless, if you kill yourself and your guts with such bullshit, the meat won't be so tasteful for Us when we finally get you!

So please, don't spoil Our fest!

Do not sue, Fight! (preferably with sharp blades)
Do not think for you petty profit, there'll be none eventually!
Eat more and more so your flesh will be plenty!
Don't care about Future, We will handle it!
And, most importantly, don't kill yourselves you silly! What will remain for Us to eat ?
If you do, We'll be obliged to come down on another world... Think of other aliens so called civilizations we'll wreak havoc!

Well... we'll get'em all eventually!
