How do you know it was effortlessly?

I was watching a "documentary" on how the world governments are actually fighting aliens. The "expert" mentioned that they can disable our technology so effortlessly. Let's just say for the sake of argument that I bought the whole Obama fighting space aliens thing, how do you know that it was effortlessly? Perhaps every time they disable our technology one must sacrifice their unborn child and immediately eternally endure the punishment for abortion in the Apocalypse of Peter (One of your secretions congealing into cannibalistic monsters that devour you, while your aborted fetus fries you with fire from their eyeballs).
