But nothing earth shattering.
A logical development from the rock-weapons that primitive men used.
But I think the proper answer to your question is that true oppression must operate covertly in order to have maximum leverage.
Oppressors do not care if their oppression are "true" or not. All they care is that they oppress people. It is a fetish.
If we can visualize today high-tech prison systems ala Hollywood movies, where one is watched and oppressed with high technology, why didn't these aliens implement that back then?
The only credible answer is that they didn't have it back then. Because if they had it they would have used it.
People cannot combat what they cannot see, and as long as the true manipulators stay in the shadows then any revolution aiming to topple the oppressive power structure will miss the mark and merely chop off one head of the hydra, spawning two more. If high-tech weapons were used by kings of the middle-ages, we today would question where they got it, which points a big neon sign right at the ultimate source of oppression, removing that leverage of secrecy.
They would have not needed to show themselves to implement what present day minions are implementing. So this logic does not make sense.
You might say that this is an ad hoc rationalization, that lack of evidence of advanced technology by older civilizations should not be attributed to alien secrecy when via Occam's Razor it might be more simply be explained by the idea that alien manipulators never existed to begin with.
It sounds like it, you must have to agree.
However, there have been slip-ups, leaks, and anomalies in history that indicate the the influence of a hidden hand -- for more on that, I recommend you read the book "The Gods of Eden" by William Bramley. The author never believed in any of this alien stuff and simply wanted to write a good history book, but after digging into archives and noticing the anomalies, just such a picture emerged. So it became a book about alien manipulation of human history. Amazon or this.
That was his only book. And if aliens are a psy-op what makes you think that he is not a part of that?
Anyone can claim anything. It does not mean what they claim is true.
That is the nature of a psy-op: lies must be seen as truth to be effective. Or lies must be seen as lies to have a true effect.
No matter, the effects is what they are after.
As for psy-ops, apparently both Reptilian/Mantid/non-Gray abductors and black project military abductors use the image of "Grays" as a cover. Like, you can be abducted by one of these factions and given multiple-layered screen memories that make you think you had a warm and fuzzy encounter with the Grays, when it was something far worse. So in that sense the phenomenon of abduction by little gray beings may be partially a psy-ops to divert attention from the real forces doing it. I think Grays are nothing more than genetically-engineered robots and that a huge disinformation campaign has been waged to seed a phony story about who they are and why they're here. Again, the true manipulators find leverage in secrecy. Advanced technology is used, but covertly, especially nowadays.
And that is my point. If advanced technology is being used nowadays covertly - and not so covertly: like tasers - what prevented them from using it in the past? NOTHING.
Just the lack of said technology.
The excuse that "if high-tech weapons were used by kings of the middle-ages, we today would question where they got it, which points a big neon sign right at the ultimate source of oppression, removing that leverage of secrecy. " is not applicable because had they used it back then they would not give a flying f*ck whether we knew they were behind that back then. We would be in "highly technological" prisons to do anything about it.
Isn't that what they are planning to do?
Isn't that what all these cameras in England help to impose?
What is the difference from back then and now if Time is non-existent?
They would have waited all this time so that we could talk about it?
