Former Canadian Defense Minister Speaks Out on
Extraterrestrial Visitors & Government Secrecy
On
September 25, 2005, Hon Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian Minister
for National Defense gave a speech in Toronto at an event titled:
"Exopolitics Toronto: A Symposium on UFO Disclosure and Planetary
Direction" (www.exopoliticstoronto.com)
. Hellyer described his time as Minister for Defense from 1963-1967
where the occasional UFO sighting report crossed his desk. He claims
to never have had time for what he considered to be a "flight
of fancy", but nevertheless retained an interest in the UFO
phenomenon. While Minister for Defense, he was guest of honor at
the opening of the world's first UFO landing pad at Alberta, Canada
in 1967. He thought it an innovative idea from a progressive Canadian
community willing to pay for his helicopter ride, but did not give
much thought to UFOs as having serious policy implications. He also
describes a private UFO sighting he later had with family and guests,
but once again attributed it to a 'flight of fancy' rather than
anything having serious policy implications.
Hellyer's
position on UFOs dramatically changed after watching the late Peter
Jennings documentary special, "Seeing is Believing" in
February 2005. Hellyer decided to read a book that had been idly
sitting on his book shelf for two years. Philip Corso's, The Day
After Roswell, sparked intense interest for Hellyer in terms of
its policy implications. Corso named real people, institutions and
events in his book that could be checked. Intrigued by the policy
implications, Hellyer decided to confirm whether Corso's book was
real or a "work of fiction". He contacted a retired United
States Air Force General and spoke to him directly to verify Corso's
claims. The unnamed General simply said: "every word is true
and more". Hellyer then proceeded to discuss the "and
more …" with the general and claimed he was told remarkable
things concerning UFOs and the extraterrestrial hypothesis that
interplanetary visitors have been here since at least 1947. Finally
convinced that the UFO phenomenon was real Hellyer decided to come
forward and speak at Exopolitics Toronto about some of the "most
profoundly important policy questions that must be addressed."
(for speech go to: www.checktheevidence.com/video/
). The policy questions Hellyer addressed in his talk are both profound
and vitally important for citizens of every nation of Earth.
First,
Hellyer claimed that evidence concerning UFOs is the "greatest
and most successful cover up in the history of the world".
He confirmed that senior political officials even at the rank of
Minister of Defense, a position he himself occupied, are simply
out of the loop when it comes to information concerning UFOs and
visiting extraterrestrials. From a democratic perspective, that
raises many concerns about oversight, transparency and accountability
of those in control of the information, technology and projects
concerning the extraterrestrial visitors.
A
second profound policy question concerns the designation by the
U.S. military of visiting extraterrestrials as an 'enemy'. According
to Hellyer, this had led to the development of "laser and particle
guns to the point that they can be used against the visitors from
space." It is this targeting of visiting extraterrestrials
that concerns Hellyer, and he asks "is it wise to spend so
much time and money to build weapon systems to rid the skies of
alien visitors?" Hellyer poignantly raises the key policy question:
"Are they really enemies or merely legitimate explorers from
afar?" Hellyer's question raises profound importance in understanding
the relationship between visiting extraterrestrial civilizations
and world peace.
The
third policy question arose from the recent decision by President
Bush to build a base on the moon. Hellyer believes this is the activation
of a plan first launched by Col Corso's mentor, Lt General Arthur
Trudeau to build a base from which visiting extraterrestrials could
be monitored and possibly targeted as they approach the Earth. Hellyer
outlined his opposition to the weaponization of space, something
that the liberal government of Canada is currently opposed to. The
weaponization of space remains a key policy issue clearly has profound
policy issues from the perspective of extraterrestrial visitors
to Earth.
Finally,
Hellyer declared that the "time has come to lift the veil of
secrecy" and to have an "informed debate about a problem
that doesn't officially exist." Understanding the evidence
concerning the UFO phenomenon is vital to fully preparing citizens
around the world for the truth concerning extraterrestrials, despite
official denial and secrecy by those "in the loop". He
calls for major global initiatives to fully prepare global citizenry
for the truth. He endorses a position taken by key exopolitical
researchers such as Alfred Webre to prepare for a "Decade of
Contact" where humanity is prepared for the truth about extraterrestrial
visitors through informed debate and education.
Paul
Hellyer is the first senior politician to openly come out and declare
the truth about the extraterrestrial presence. He is blazing a trail
that many other senior politicians are destined to take. It will
be wise if the world's senior politicians quickly learn more about
this remarkable Canadian statesman and heed his important advise
about data on extraterrestrial visitors and the "profoundly
important policy questions that must be addressed."
