Someone Needs To Adjust Their Tin-Foil Hat...
Spooky. That is all I have to say when I spotted this story this morning. Cue the Twilight Zone theme...(Hat-tip: Drudge)

(PRWEB) - OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.”
By “ETs,” Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting Earth.
On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."
So, are they using some sort of cloaking device to keep us from seeing them, or are they moving so fast we cannot see them? If they are moving fast, why do we not hear any sonic booms?
Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something."
An intergalactic war? Look Thomas has done some science fiction writing in the past, and when I showed him this story, he simply giggled. I seriously doubt we have to worry about lizard-like aliens (like those in the TV show "V"), or Darth Vader arriving with a contingency of stormtroopers bent on conquering Earth, and wiping out the last of the Jedi. (The Canadians might have reason to worry about that part; 20,000 canucks claimed "Jedi" as their official religion in their last census.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_census_phenomenon
Hellyer revealed, "The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never in-the-loop."
Roswell? Oh please. So, let me get this straight...No one in an official capacity in the US government, aside from the upper echelons of the government (the president, his cabinet, etc.) were told anything about the alien landings at Roswell? This is as bad as the Kennedy assassination theories. Someone cue up the theme from Independence Day.
Hellyer warned, "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." He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."
We do not need a moon base, per se. However the moon could serve as an excellent penal colony.
Hellyer’s speech ended with a standing ovation. He said, "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."
So, I guess beating back Islamo-fascists takes a back-seat. And going after the thugs around the world, like Mugabe in Zimbabwe--who just woke up to US sanctions against him and his regime for how he is treating his populace--sits on the back burner, as well.
Three Non-governmental organizations took Hellyer’s words to heart, and approached Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa, Canada’s capital, to hold public hearings on a possible ET presence, and what Canada should do. The Canadian Senate, which is an appointed body, has held objective, well-regarded hearings and issued reports on controversial issues such as same-sex marriage and medical marijuana.
And now they are looking into the tin-foil conspiracy nuts that spend most of the night listening to Art Bell and George Noory. The problem is that they are lending credence to insanity by allowing these hearings to be held in an official capacity.
On October 20, 2005, the Institute for Cooperation in Space requested Canadian Senator Colin Kenny, Senator, Chair of The Senate Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence, “schedule public hearings on the Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, so that witnesses such as the Hon. Paul Hellyer, and Canadian-connected high level military-intelligence, NORAD-connected, scientific, and governmental witnesses facilitated by the Disclosure Project and by the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium can present compelling evidence, testimony, and Public Policy recommendations.”
What compelling testimony can be offered that will be seen as "real?" How many movies will be cited as giving "hints" that the general public has been lied to? How many nutty witnesses will be allowed to speak before the Canadian Parliament close down this ensuing fiasco?
The Non-governmental organizations seeking Parliament hearings include Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics Symposium, which organized the University of Toronto Symposium at which Mr. Hellyer spoke.
The Disclosure Project, a U.S.– based organization that has assembled high level military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence, is also one of the organizations seeking Canadian Parliament hearings.
Vancouver-based Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), whose International Director headed a proposed 1977 Extraterrestrial Communication Study for the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO, filed the original request for Canadian Parliament hearings.
Jimmy Carter saw a UFO? Are they planning on calling him as a witness? Will he be asked to relay that "close encounter?" Can he be made to look any more foolish than he already is to everyone with a brain in America?
The Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, presented by the organizations to a Senate Committee panel hearing in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 10, 2005, proposes that the Government of Canada undertake a Decade of Contact.
Yes. A Decade of Contact. That is what Canada needs, rather than focusing on their problems. (Read Capt. Ed's superb coverage of the collapse of the Liberal Democrats in Parliament, and the scandals rocking the higher echelons of the government.) http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/
The proposed Decade of Contact is “a 10-year process of formal, funded public education, scientific research, educational curricula development and implementation, strategic planning, community activity, and public outreach concerning our terrestrial society’s full cultural, political, social, legal, and governmental communication and public interest diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet cultures now visiting Earth.”
Now visiting Earth? Are these nuts serious? This sounds more like a scam for "free" taxpayer money in Canada, and at the end of this decade, they will be no more closer to contact than Jodie Foster was at the end of her movie. http://imdb.com/title/tt0118884/
Canada has a long history of opposing the basing of weapons in Outer Space. On September 22, 2004 Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin declared to the U.N. General Assembly, "Space is our final frontier. It has always captured our imagination. What a tragedy it would be if space became one big weapons arsenal and the scene of a new arms race.
I have news for PM Martin: The race is already on. If anyone thinks that China has benign plans for their trips to the moon they are seriously mistaken. China has been designing and planning space-based weapons platforms for the last few years.
Martin stated, "In 1967, the United Nations agreed that weapons of mass destruction must not be based in space. The time has come to extend this ban to all weapons..."
In May, 2003, speaking before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Lloyd Axworthy, stated “Washington's offer to Canada is not an invitation to join America under a protective shield, but it presents a global security doctrine that violates Canadian values on many levels."
Axworthy concluded, “There should be an uncompromising commitment to preventing the placement of weapons in space.”
On February 24, 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin made official Canada's decision not to take part in the U.S government’s Ballistic Missile Defence program.
Paul Hellyer, who now seeks Canadian Parliament hearings on relations with ETs, on May 15, 2003, stated in Toronto’s Globe & Mail newspaper, “Canada should accept the long-standing invitation of U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to launch a conference to seek approval of an international treaty to ban weapons in space. That would be a positive Canadian contribution toward a more peaceful world.”
These guys are going to trust Dennis Kucinich? This man's answer to terrorism was to create a "Department of Peace." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Peace (Not that I am not in favor of peace, but peace is obtained through victory, not before.)
In early November 2005, the Canadian Senate wrote ICIS, indicating the Senate Committee could not hold hearings on ETs in 2005, because of their already crowded schedule.
“That does not deter us,” one spokesperson for the Non-governmental organizations said, “We are going ahead with our request to Prime Minister Paul Martin and the official opposition leaders in the House of Commons now, and we will re-apply with the Senate of Canada in early 2006."
“Time is on the side of open disclosure that there are ethical Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth,” The spokesperson stated. “Our Canadian government needs to openly address these important issues of the possible deployment of weapons in outer war plans against ethical ET societies.”
How do these people know that the extra-terrestrials they believe exist are "ethical?" What is their definition of "ethical?" If one abides by the ethics involved in Congress, then I would not trust these aliens with anything. The simple fact of the matter is that this story snuck out under the radar of the Canadian government, and they are going to take a ridiculous beating on this one. I am all in favor of the world invewstigating what Pres. Kennedy termed as "the final frontier." But I would like to do it in a safe and sane manner.
These people who are prompting the Canadian government to "investigate" whether or not aliens are visiting Earth clearly need help. I recommend a nice, long stay in a padded room with a comfy white jacket for them. I would also recommend some thorazine for them. They clearly need more help than the Canadian Parliament acn offer. And if the Parliament decides to hold meetings for this, they need the same psychological help. We have other, more important issues to attend to than little green men, and spaceships flying over our heads as often as jet airplanes.

I confess, I confess, I've visited aliens! My bartender will vouch for that! LOL so hard I can hardly type this one takes the cake in attacking Bush! Good job. One question, did Carter see the ufo before or after lusting?
Rawriter
Raw,
That is a question best left for Jimmy to answer, don't you think? Reghardless, I think this is the most hair-brained attack on the president since...Oh, I don't know. I guess since the Left saw another Republican in the White House that could whip them with his hands tied. And they have done a semi-decent job of doing that to him, and he still keeps winning against them.
