But the survivors would trust them, because of the drugs, when they said 'Come with us; we'll take you someplace better.' That 'someplace better' would be selling them into slavery, and then they'd gut the Earth of what tech and resources it had left."

There's intergalactic peacekeeping forces, called the Green Lanterns, who KNOW they do it, but they haven't been able to get proof and don't want another war. Even when I took out the ones trying to conquer Earth, the Reach just said that Negotiator was a rogue Negotiator and that they didn't support his actions. Total lie."
