Former Canadian Minister Of Defence ... On Relations With Alien "ET" Civilizations
PRWEB Via Yahoo! News ^ | Thu Nov 24, 7:00 AM ET | PRWEB

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."

Now you know why Canada has a small Armed Forces.
With wack jobs running the Liberal Gov't and our armed forces, you wouldn't want a force that could do much damage..

I guess we've had our own share of moonbat loons. Like Reagan, Douglas MacArthur, and more. For an eye-opener, see http://www.presidentialufo.com Some examples:

"On June 27, 1982, a year after Reagan entered the White House, Ronald Reagan made one of his most famous alien remarks when he hosted Steven Spielberg in the White House. Spielberg was at the White House to present a private screening of his soon to be released movie called 'ET: The Extraterrestrial.'

"Following the screening the President leaned over, clapped Spielberg on the shoulder, and quietly commented, 'You know, there aren’t six people in this room who know how true this really is.'

"The showing of E.T. was the last event on June 27th. The very next event the next morning, June 28th, was a meeting between President Reagan and James A. Baker 111, Chief of Staff; Edwin Meese 111, Counselor; and Michael K. Deaver, Deputy Chief of Staff; met in the oval office. From there the four men went to the highly secure White House Situation Room where the President participated in a briefing of the U.S. Space Program. Participants included six members of the National Security Council or National Security Affairs and no one from NASA. The absence of anyone from NASA for a briefing of the U.S. Space Program is unheard of.

"A couple months later, probably still inspired by the E.T. movie, President Reagan showed up in Roswell, New Mexico to give a speech for the re-election of Harrison (Jack) Schmitt. Schmitt was a Republican Senator from New Mexico who as an Apollo 17 astronaut was the last man to walk on the moon.

"Like Reagan, Schmitt had publicly played both the investigator and the agnostic. On a positive note Schmitt declared, 'If the government has any information on UFO's, it should be released to the public -- barring anything that might affect national security. We ought to be involved in a search to find out if there's any good evidence that UFOs really are spacecraft that are being piloted by extraterrestrial beings...the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in our universe is highly probable, given the huge number of sun-like stars that exist out there...'

"War hero General Douglas MacArthur spoke of 'an ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy." Mayor Achille Lauro of Naples, Italy, quoted MacArthur as telling him, "the earth would have to make a common front against attack by people from other planets.'

"A few years after MacArthur’s statement, Brig. Gen. John A. McDavid, USAF, Director of Communications-Electronic for the Joint Chiefs of Staff made a similar statement about a possible conflict with extraterrestrials during an Air Force approved speech at Milliken University, Decatur, Illinois. 'Before long, people may be forced to realize and accept as a fact that this earth is only an infinitesimal grain of sand in an infinite universe,' declared McDavid. 'The human is one of many forms of life with which God is concerned and others are superior to us. And if this is true, our meeting with other types of existence in other places in the universe quite likely will increase the potential element of conflict rather than reduce it.'"

Either way, this guys whole line of reasoning is stupid. "We don't want the Americans to be shooting at the peaceful, kind, fluffy, and ethical aliens, even though 'ethical' aliens wouldn't really give them a reason to shoot at them, because then it might cause those self-same ethical aliens to turn their planet-destroying weaponry on a species vastly inferior technologically to them". Yeah, REAL ethical.

I, for one, welcome our peaceful, kind, fluffy, and ethical overlords.

I was literally choked by water when I read this. Canada - a country which the insane moonbats could become government ministers.

LOL! Naaa...MacArthur wasn't eccentric, was he? This UFO stuff is nothing but bunk. It's the 20th and 21st century equivalent of gnomes and brownies. I've read many accounts of UFOs and watched hours of documentaries on the subject. I've seen nothing compelling to make me believe there's anything to 'em.

Not to mention there is now an entire cottage industry for people who sell and ply their wares to an easy market.

I'll keep reading about it and I'll watch the documentaries (was even one this morning on the History Channel), but I won't be holding my breath.

Oh yeah, and UFO release of info was a campaign promise by Jimmah Carter. That tower of ration thought! LOL

The Grays? Naaah - they're the Asgards. The Goa'uld were defeated, but now those meddling kids over at Stargate Command have gone and stirred up the dog$h!t with a race of "gods" who are of the convert-or-die mindset.

Nice Enoch Powell reference.

Tinfoil hats don't generally sell well, but it may be the weather. Of course, every so often, and it seems more often than America, but not so often as Britain, we get a real nut.

Like the new leader of the Parti Quebecois. Whose rating went up and he won the leadership bid after he admitted (almost boasted) of being a coke-snorting homosexual. Oh, Canada. Well, Quebec. Still, we get more than our fair share of the nuts is what I'm driving at here.

The problem is that, here in New Zealand, such idiots will "merely" be Members of Parliament or perhaps Senior Lecturers at Victoria University's Gender Studies, but to have such chaps in a serious cabinet position as opposed to, say, Minister of Literature Development? Unthinkable.
