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."
