UN to appoint Earth contact for aliens (Yes, you read that correctly and no, it's not a spoof)
News.Com (Australia) ^ | September 25, 2010

THE United Nations was set today to appoint an obscure Malaysian astrophysicist to act as Earth�s first contact for any aliens that may come visiting.

Mazlan Othman, the head of the UN's little-known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa), is to describe her potential new role next week at a scientific conference at the Royal Society’s Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire.

She is scheduled to tell delegates that the recent discovery of hundreds of planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more likely than ever before - and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate humanity’s response to any “first contact”.

During a talk Othman gave recently to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day humankind will receive signals from extraterrestrials.
"When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”

May I make a suggestion? Your assertion quoted below is slightly off the mark:

"The only way someone is going to get so many of these nations (think islam) to put aside their differences and unite is something that would appear to be threatening the whole planet.

The current directorship running the global economy into absolute bankruptcy will manufacture a global problem, like sudden global warming or sudden crop failures world-wide, or a plague that seems out of control, or the end of fossil suel being able to sustain the world's out-of-control population. THEN the advent of ETs will be sold as the measn to bring this terrible catastrophe to an end. All you'll have to do is submit for the census, accept the global government's mark of authenticity and you can have security for your family to receive government's aide as made possible by the advent of these benevolent ETs who showed up just in the nick of time. ETs will be sold as saviors, not a menace but not pushovers either. They must be obeyed for humankind 'to receive the help we so desperately need'.

That’s an interesting concept. I never thought of it quite that way.

Of course, I agree that the mark is going to be tied in, somehow, with showing your loyalty to mankind. I just never thought of it that way.

Quite plausible.

Though some critters may play bad cop attackers and others good cop saviors.

Language is a function of brain activity. No spoken language is needed to exchange messages from brain to brain, directly. Our problem will be our lack of familiarity with such methods since we have so programmed our brains to rely upon the conceptualizations transformed into words then spoken.

A man was walking his dog and his dog took a dump on the side walk. The man bent over and was scooping up the poop just as aliens landed. They approached the man, watched him as he was scooping up the poop, turned to the dog and said “Take us to your leader”

Hello Quix...thank you for agreeing with my post..... I think many Christians are well aware the most we can expect to do is slow down this march toward the ‘New World Order”...and so many leaders, home and abroad, no longer whisper this behind closed doors as in the past, but are right out there promoting it to the masses and little resistance to it.

So many times I and others have said we in this Nation and worldwide are primed for deception. We see it playing out across our country in our businesses, educational systems, government and all places of influence. It's like a shadow over much of the world. Could very well mean the Lord is withdrawing His good Spirit as He said we should expect as that time to go home draws nearer. Still, it is sad in some repects to see this occur in my lifetime. Many are yet without Christ and we know what they will be facing ahead.

Have just been on a thread where you can see Yoga is highly accepted today, even within the Christian community. The church is truly being invaded by Eastern practices as the throngs of other nations multiply in our country. Our identity as a Nation under God is fast deteriorating as we see Christianity being manipulated by those in power both inside and outside the church. And this in full view of the audience and without shame, rather quite boastful and proud.

I am beginning to think that the world is at war now against Christianity as this shadow of deception crosses the continents. We push back but it does appear that since we are less than successful than hoped for the time may be indeed shorter than imagined.

I think the 2008 Financial Crisis was the beginning of an open and apparent consolidation of powers politically and economically/financially institutes. as we watch them align and remove those which are are a threat to their agenda. It is really moving rapidly now.

I am hoping that the US itself, though will cease to be of influence in the world as it has known, non the less will maintain it's Independence...though the powers that be will surely require our military (our people) to lay their life on the line on an international scale. The only way parents will allow this will be by a required time all must serve. Bo and his wife are currently setting us up for just that.

And so here we are...but we continue to fight the good fight of faith, present the Gospel to who will hear...and pray that Gods mercy will flow to those yet to come to Him... before that hour which will come....”in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye...when the trumpet sounds......”

OK,

I’ve set up a Word file to redo that long post replying to your questions.

I hope to have it done before I go to sleep but I’m not going to work on it in one sitting per se, but in bite sized chunks as it is not a favorite task. I’m more than a little weary of most aspects of the topic.

"The only way someone is going to get so many of these nations (think islam) to put aside their differences and unite is something that would appear to be threatening the whole planet."

Islam put aside their differences?because of what,the threat of death? Not likely.

If a nuclear war breaks out in the ME between monotheistic islam and monotheistic Israel (supported by monotheistic christians) then the world will see monotheism as the threat.

Islam is being used as a vehicle to justify the worldly dread of that "savour of death unto death"

There is certainly something so devilish and demonized about . . . the moon god religion . . .

that many of it’s devotees would run head-long into a chipper shouting “Allah Akbar” . . . even with some glee . . . even as part of a mob hysteria . . . or as a result of some rumor . . . if they thought it might bring the house of Christianity and Israel down—even around their own necks . . . all the more gleefully . . .

Sure the sunnis and shiites eat each other when there are no infidels to go after, but when the infidels are in the picture, I was under the impression that they did co-operate some.

I seem to remember a TV series in the late 80’s or early 90’s with this kind of plot. The ETs showed up and offered mankind great new technology to make life better. There was an FBI agent assigned to help/protect the ETs because of some humans that did not trust them. Not sure how the series ends...
