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.”

“Although no one has ever been able to prove their existence, a quasi-government agency known as the Men in Black supposedly carries out secret operations here on Earth in order to keep us safe from aliens throughout the galaxies. Here is one of their stories that never happened, from one of their files that doesn’t exist...” (MIB II)

My understanding is that, pound for pound, Klingon Space Hussies provide the maximum cowbell amplitude of any alien race.

Why should the UN decide anything for the whole as a whole?

By God, if the next Republican president doesn’t end America’s membership...

She does indeed have the 'look', I agree wholeheartedly, but if Wikipedia can be at all believed then in this case 'the look' may 'possibly' be misleading:

Personal life

Othman is married to Ibrahim Komoo, a geologist. They have two children.

having bought into the ET ‘info’ that humanity is destroying humanity and the planet with overpopulation . . .

uses homosexuals as a minor way to decrease the population.

Then, when the time comes, they’ll march those homosexuals off to the death chambers as misfits as well. Trouble is, a lot of their leaders are in such categories and no small amount of their stool pigeons.

An interesting question.

Maybe they’d try and conjure up a magic carpet that would carry them there so they could do a thorough beheading?

These blokes will either be strengthening it to the Biblical global government already greatly in place . . . or . . . discarding it for a worse in its place:

The UN has been traitorously, devilishly, globalist insanity from its inception.
