UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - For the first time in almost 28 years, the
United Nations General Assembly may be debating the issue of
establishing diplomatic relations with advanced Extraterrestrial
Civilizations that may now be visiting Earth.
On December 16, 2005, a Resolution to establish a United Nations
Decade of Contact was formally transmitted to the incoming President of
the General Assembly, H.E. Jan Eliasson of Sweden by a group of
Non-Governmental Organizations, including the U.S.-based Disclosure
Project, the Campaign for Cooperation in Space, and the Toronto
Exopolitics Symposium.
Audio: Some background to the issues discussed here can be found in Tim Binnall's interview at the 2005 X-Conference: Click play to stream audio.
U.N. General Assembly President Eliasson was Sweden's Ambassador to
the United States from 2000 to 2005. Dr. Steven Greer, Director of the
Disclosure Project, has held informal briefings on the Extraterrestrial
presence with high-ranking United Nations officials.
The United Nations has used a 10-year public policy focus period to
address other issues of global importance, such as the United Nations
Decade of Women and the United Nations Decade for the Eradication of
Poverty.
Almost twenty-eight years ago, on December 18, 1978, the United
Nations General Assembly voted to approve decision 33/426, inviting
U.N. Member States "to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a
national level scientific research and investigation into
extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to
inform the Secretary-General of the observations, research and
evaluation of such activities."
United States Was Sole U.N. Member Nation Which Unsuccessfully Attempted to Block 1978 UN E.T. Resolution
One prominent researcher of Extraterrestrial issues has noted that
the United States U.N. Delegation attempted to block the 1978 U.N.
General Assembly E.T. Resolution.
The researcher notes, "India is specifically mentioned in two U.S.
State Department documents referenced in Clifford Stone's book 'UFOs
Are Real.'
"The first reference is in Doc. 5-20b State Dept. Teletype, Nov 18,
1978, which states in a teletype marked CONFIDENTIAL in four places:
[Begin excerpt]
"'Last year Grenada requested our support and Misoff [Misoff =
Mission officer, likely the then-U.S. U.N. ambassador] had to scramble
hard behind the scenes to water down the resolution and, in effect,
delay a vote for one year. Another consideration is whether to issue a
disclaimer on statements made by U.S. nationals on the Grenadian
delegation. If last year's instructions still obtain, it would appear
that the Indian suggestion would be about as far as we would be willing
to go on the issue. Leonard.'
[End excerpt]
"Note the U.S. was the only nation trying to sabotage the resolution by putting pressure on other member states.
"The next reference to India takes place in Doc. 5-22 State Dept. Teletype, Dec. 2, 1978 which states, in part:
'1. Subsequent to the introduction of the Grenadian UFO resolution,
Misoff [Misoff = Mission officer, likely the then-U.S. U.N. ambassador]
has engaged in two separate informal negotiating sessions, which
included representation from Austria, USSR, and Grenada. In an attempt
to arrive at a mutually agreeable compromise solution of the problem.
India and FRG [Federal Republic of Germany: West Germany] representing
EC-P [?] have been apprised of our discussions . . .'
"From my reading of the previous sentence, this might mean West
Germany was likely also interested in supporting the resolution."
"Gairy was overthrown on the day he was supposed to be meeting with
Kurt Waldheim to discuss UFOs. He left Grenada on March 12, 1979 for
face-to-face meetings with Waldheim and the coup took place the next
day according to this historical reference:
"'Thus, in a broadcast on Radio Grenada, Maurice Bishop announced
the first coup d'etat in modern times in the English-speaking Caribbean
and the advent of the Grenadian revolution on 13 March 1979 . . . Gairy
had left the island the previous day for talks at the UN in New York
with Kurt Waldheim on Unidentified Flying Objects and cosmic phenomena
. . . On Monday 12 March Gairy flew to Barbados on the first leg of his
journey to New York. At Grantley Adams International airport he was
met by Frank Ortiz, the US Ambassador, before he boarded his plane for
the flight northwards. As he touched down the final hurried plans were
being completed for his overthrow. As workers in the telephone
exchange on the Carenage in St. George made sure the island was cut off
from the outside world forty-six men were receiving their last
instructions from the leaders of the NJM . . ." [NJM = New Jewel
Movement, the Marxist group that overthrew Gairy.]' Source:
O'Shaughnessy, Hugh. Grenada: An Eyewitness Account of the U.S.
Invasion and the Caribbean History that Provoked it. (New York: Dodd,
Mead & Co.), 1984, pp. 77-8.
"Stone's book also contains another incriminating document regarding
U.S. attempts to sabotage the resolution with a reference that is found
within Doc. 5-22 State Dept. Teletype, Dec. 2, 1978:
"'We think referral of the matter to the Outerspace Committee (OSC)
without a preordained mandate as to what action is to be taken,
provides the flexibility the OSC needs to take whatever action it deems
appropriate. It will also obviate the need to vote on a resolution
(and gamble on the results).'
The researcher concludes, "Clearly, the U.S. Government's intent was
to ensure the resolution was doomed to fail from the very beginning."
The documented attempted sabotage of the 1978 UN General Assembly
E.T. Resolution by officials of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations
run counter to U.S. President Jimmy Carter's public policy positions on
UFOs during the 1976 U.S. Presidential campaign. Jimmy Carter was U.S.
President in December 1978 at the time of the adoption of the United
Nations General Assembly Resolution. Carter himself in 1973 publicly
reported he had a close Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO (Night
Light) in October 1969, in the company of 10 members of the Leary,
Georgia Lion's Club while he was running for Governor of Georgia. Four
years later, while Governor of Georgia, Carter filed a public UFO
sighting report, dated September 18, 1973. In his 1976 U.S.
Presidential campaign against President Gerald R. Ford, Carter stated
publicly he would release government files on UFOs.
Former Canadian Minister of Defence Hon. Paul Hellyer
Former Canadian Minister of Defence, Hon. Paul Hellyer has requested
that the Canadian Parliament hold hearings on the issue of relations
with Extraterrestrial civilizations.
On September 25, 2005, at the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium held at
Convocation Hall, University of Toronto, former Minister of National
Defence Hellyer stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly
over your head." He stated, "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. 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."
U.N. Decade of Contact
Mr. Hellyer, Canada's former Minister of Defence, supports a United
Nations Decade of Contact. Mr. Hellyer writes, "To turn us in the
direction of re-unification with the rest of creation Alfred Lambremont
Webre is proposing a 'Decade of Contact' - an 'era of openness, public
hearings, public funded research, and education about extraterrestrial
reality.' That could just be the antidote the world needs to end its
greed-driven, power-centered madness."
A United Nations Decade of Contact has four Objectives:
DISCLOSURE: Open, transparent, official governmental disclosure and
declassification of all past and present programs related to
extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
DECADE OF CONTACT: Public funding by U.N. Member Nations and by the
UNITED NATIONS of a 10 year process of formal public education,
scientific research, educational curricula development, strategic
planning, community activity, and public outreach about the
extraterrestrial presence on Earth and the future of Earth in regard to
the populated universe.
DISARMAMENT: A permanent ban on all space-based weapons and warfare in space through a Space Preservation Treaty Conference.
DIPLOMACY: UNITED NATIONS Public Interest Diplomacy seeking to make contact with Off-Planet Cultures now visiting Earth.
The Disclosure Project, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, on May
9, 2001, held a press conference at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C. in which numerous high-level military-intelligence,
governmental and private sector witnesses publicly described
experiences and evidence establishing that advanced Extraterrestrial
civilizations are interacting with our terrestrial civilization at this
time.
On May 20, 2005, Brazil, a major U.N. Member Nation took official
measures in support of a United Nations Decade of Contact. The
Brazilian Air Force (FAB) openly allowed examination of classified UFO
documents in several military facilities in Brasilia, the Federal
Capital.
A military-intelligence spying technology known as "remote viewing"
originally developed at Stanford Research Institute in the mid-1970s by
Dr. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ has also yielded replicable data
regarding the existence of advanced Off-Planet Cultures now visiting
Earth.
The United Nations General Assembly has consistently voted in favor
of a treaty banning weapons and warfare in space. On December 8, 2003,
the U.N. General Assembly voted 174 – 0 in favor of a treaty banning
weapons in space, with the United States and Israel abstaining.
One spokesperson for the grass-roots network supporting the United
Nations Decade of Contact said, "2006 may prove to be an important
anniversary of the 1978 U.N. General Assembly Resolution which formally
urged U.N. Member Nations to research the existence of extraterrestrial
life including Unidentified Flying Objects."
The spokesperson continued, "That U.N. Resolution passed, despite a
sabotage campaign by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. The United
States Mission to the United Nations cannot thwart humanity's right to
explore our relationships with other intelligent civilizations for much
longer. 2006 will see breakthroughs for the Decade of Contact and for
eventual public interest diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet
Cultures now visiting Earth."
