Proposed U.N. Decade Of Contact Would Establish Diplomatic Relations With
Advanced E.T.s

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.

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."
