I'm perfectly willing to admit that alien spacefarers are a possibility but I
think this is going just a bit far.
Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament To Hold Hearings On
Relations With Alien "Et" Civilizations Thu Nov 24, 2005
(PRWEB) - OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- A former
Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three
Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations
with “ETs.”
By “ETs,” Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean
ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting
Earth.
On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University
of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister
from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as
the airplanes that fly over your head."
Mr. Hellyer went on to say,
"I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to
say something."
Hellyer revealed, "The secrecy involved in all
matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the outset, above top
secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were
never in-the-loop."
Hellyer warned, "The United States military are
preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us
ever having any warning. He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward
base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors
from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."
Hellyer’s
speech ended with a standing ovation. He said, "The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth
emerge, so there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most important problems facing our planet
today."
Three Non-governmental organizations took Hellyer’s words to
heart, and approached Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa, Canada’s capital, to hold public hearings on a possible ET
presence, and what Canada should do. The Canadian Senate, which is an appointed body, has held objective,
well-regarded hearings and issued reports on controversial issues such as same-sex marriage and medical
marijuana,
On October 20, 2005, the Institute for Cooperation in
Space requested Canadian Senator Colin Kenny, Senator, Chair of The Senate Standing Senate Committee on National
Security and Defence, “schedule public hearings on the Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, so that witnesses such as
the Hon. Paul Hellyer, and Canadian-connected high level military-intelligence, NORAD-connected, scientific, and
governmental witnesses facilitated by the Disclosure Project and by the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium can present
compelling evidence, testimony, and Public Policy recommendations.”
The Non-governmental organizations seeking Parliament hearings include Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics
Symposium, which organized the University of Toronto Symposium at which Mr. Hellyer
spoke.
The Disclosure Project, a U.S.– based organization that has
assembled high level military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence, is also one of the organizations
seeking Canadian Parliament hearings.
Vancouver-based Institute for
Cooperation in Space (ICIS), whose International Director headed a proposed 1977 Extraterrestrial Communication
Study for the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close
Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO, filed the original request for Canadian Parliament
hearings.
The Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, presented by the
organizations to a Senate Committee panel hearing in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 10, 2005, proposes that the
Government of Canada undertake a Decade of Contact.
The proposed
Decade of Contact is “a 10-year process of formal, funded public education, scientific research, educational
curricula development and implementation, strategic planning, community activity, and public outreach concerning our
terrestrial society’s full cultural, political, social, legal, and governmental communication and public interest
diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet cultures now visiting Earth.”
Canada has a long history of opposing the basing of weapons in Outer Space. On September 22, 2004 Canadian
Prime Minister Paul Martin declared to the U.N. General Assembly,” "Space is our final frontier. It has always
captured our imagination. What a tragedy it would be if space became one big weapons arsenal and the scene of a new
arms race.
Martin stated, "In 1967, the United Nations agreed
that weapons of mass
destruction must not be based in space. The
time has come to extend this ban to all weapons..."
In May, 2003,
speaking before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs, former
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Lloyd Axworthy, stated “Washington's offer to Canada is not an invitation to
join America under a protective shield, but it presents a global security doctrine that violates Canadian values on
many levels."
Axworthy concluded, “There should be an uncompromising
commitment to preventing the placement of weapons in space.”
On
February 24, 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin made official Canada's decision not to take part in the U.S
government’s Ballistic Missile Defence program.
Paul Hellyer, who
now seeks Canadian Parliament hearings on relations with ETs, on May 15, 2003, stated in Toronto’s Globe & Mail
newspaper, “Canada should accept the long-standing invitation of U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to
launch a conference to seek approval of an international treaty to ban weapons in space. That would be a positive
Canadian contribution toward a more peaceful world.”
In early
November 2005, the Canadian Senate wrote ICIS, indicating the Senate Committee could not hold hearings on ETs in
2005, because of their already crowded schedule.
“That does not
deter us,” one spokesperson for the Non-governmental organizations said, “We are going ahead with our request to
Prime Minister Paul Martin and the official opposition leaders in the House of Commons now, and we will re-apply
with the Senate of Canada in early 2006.
“Now is the time for open
disclosure that there are ethical Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth,” a spokesperson for the
Non-Governmental Organizations stated. “Our Canadian government needs to openly address these important issues of
the possible deployment of weapons in outer space and war plans against ethical Extraterrestrial societies.”
