			On May 2, 2010 former Canadian Minister of Defense 
			
			Paul Hellyer, who is,
 
				
				"the longest serving current member 
				of the Privy Council, just ahead of Prince Philip,"  
			...publicly defended extraterrestrial 
			civilizations as he believes that not only have extraterrestrials 
			visited Earth but they have also contributed positively to human 
			technological advancement, as was reported by Canada's CTV News.
			 
			  
			  
			
			 
			  
			  
			According to one source, the 
			
			Queen's Privy Council for Canada is 
			the,  
				
				"full group of personal consultants 
				to the monarch of Canada on state and constitutional affairs, 
				though responsible government requires the sovereign and/or her 
				viceroy, the Governor General of Canada, to almost always follow 
				only that advice tendered by the Cabinet - a committee within 
				the Privy Council composed of elected Members of Parliament.
				   
				Those summoned to the QPC are 
				appointed for life by the governor general as directed by the 
				Prime Minister of Canada, meaning that the group is composed 
				predominantly of former cabinet ministers, with some others 
				having been inducted as an honorary gesture."
 "The reality is that they've (extraterrestrials) been visiting 
				Earth for decades and probably millennia and have contributed 
				considerably to our knowledge. Microchips, for example, 
				fiber-optics, they are just two of the many things that 
				allegedly - and probably for real - came from crashed vehicles," 
				Defense Minister 
				
				Hellyer said.
 
			Former Minister of Defence Hellyer accused Cambridge professor Stephen Hawking of spreading 
			misinformation about extraterrestrial civilizations.   
			  
			In an interview, Mr. 
			
			Hellyer said,
			 
				
				"I think Prof. Hawking is indulging 
				in some pretty scary talk there that I would have hoped would 
				not come from someone with such an established stature."  
			Hellyer 
				further added,  
				
				"I think it's really sad that a scientist of his 
				repute would contribute to what I would consider more 
				misinformation about a vast and very important subject." 
			On April 25, 2010, Prof. Stephen 
			Hawking implied potential contact with extraterrestrial 
			civilizations is dangerous.  
			  
			  
			
			 
			  
			  
			He stated on a 
			
			Discovery Channel 
			documentary,  
				
				"If aliens ever visit us, I think 
				the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first 
				landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the 
				Native Americans."  
			While there may be benign aliens out there, 
				Prof. Hawking says trying to make contact is "a little too 
			risky."   
			There are many 
			
			credentialed witnesses to 
			friendly Off Planet Cultures.  
			  
			For example, Examiner has also 
			identified 
			two whistle blower eyewitnesses to extraterrestrial 
			civilizations from U.S. government secret programs, including former 
			U.S. Department of Defense scientist 
			
			Arthur Neumann, and former
			
			DARPA Project Pegasus participant and attorney 
			
			Andrew D. Basiago. 
			 
			  
			Mr. Neumann and Mr. Basiago have independently testified they have 
			met with representatives of a friendly, advanced humanoid Martian 
			civilization. 
 Transparent public diplomacy and cooperation with ethical 
			extraterrestrial civilizations, by the evidence, is not a threat to 
			humanity, and is in the strategic best interest of the U.S. and the 
			entire world community.
 
 As an illustration of where canonical academia - as opposed to 
			exopolitical research - stands regarding the extraterrestrial 
			presence, 
			
			The Journal of Cosmology, a scholarly journal of Astronomy 
			and Astrophysics associated with the Department of Astronomy, Center 
			for Astrophysics, Harvard-Smithsonian, Cambridge, MA has published 
			the views of 12 scientists commenting on Prof. Hawking's statement 
			regarding extraterrestrials.
 
			  
			According to the 
			
			Los Angeles Times,
			 
				
				"Some criticized Hawking's use of 
				human behavior to predict what aliens would do, but others said 
				that human behavior was a reasonable yardstick. Few, however, 
				questioned the premise of Hawking's statements - that alien life 
				forms probably exist and we are likely someday to encounter 
				them." 
			 
			  
			  
			  
			Paul Hellyer 
			and the 'Decade of Contact'
 
 On September 25, 2005, the Hon. Paul Hellyer, former Minister of 
			Defense of Canada (1963-1968) and former Deputy Prime Minister of 
			Canada under Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau, made an extraordinary 
			speech at the University of Toronto, becoming one of the first 
			statesman of a major NATO nation to express public concern about 
			apparent U.S. plans to weaponize space for a possible interplanetary 
			war against ethical extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth.
 
 Examiner readers can view a video of that historic speech by Paul 
			Hellyer, which was billed as:
 
				
				"Hon. Paul Hellyer At Exopolitics 
				Conference (Toronto)
 Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defence Minister endorses the 
				validity of Colonel Philip J Corso's Book "The Day After 
				Roswell" and agrees with Alfred Webre's Proposal of "A Decade 
				of 
				Contact" with Extra-terrestrials, rather than interplanetary 
				War."

			In the months following Paul Hellyer's 
			speech, Gordon Heath wrote about Mr. Hellyer's political 
			graduation into exopolitics in "Paul Hellyer and the Politics of Exopolitics," 
			an excerpt of which states: 
				
				"Paul Hellyer, a former Minister of 
				Defence in the Pearson Government, has announced his belief that 
				UFOs are real and that the US is developing weapons systems for 
				space which are to be used against alien craft entering earth's 
				airspace. He voiced his opinions at the recent '2005 Toronto 
				Exopolitics Symposium'.
 "Exopolitics is a new term used to describe the study of the 
				politics of extraterrestrial contact. It is usually discussed in 
				a context which assumes that enough evidence exists from 
				existing UFO reports to conclude that some UFOs are craft that 
				are piloted by beings originating from other planets and solar 
				systems.
 
				  
				Hellyer's comments received some coverage in the 
				national media and stirred some interest and reaction from the 
				public, mostly from those who have some interest in UFOs"…. 
			  
			  
			  
			Hellyer Believes in 
			Public Role in Government Response to Alien Contact 
				
				"Hellyer has stated his belief 
				that elected governments have been largely excluded from 
				information which is held within the bureaucracy about 
				UFOs. He has in fact 
				used his own experience to buttress this argument.   
				"UFOlogy has not made great strides 
				in finding conclusive, unambiguous evidence for the ETH 
				(Extra-terrestrial hypothesis) or any other theory on the origin 
				for unexplained UFOs.    
				Despite this failure, many 
				UFOlogists have evaluated the evidence and concluded for 
				themselves that the ETH is the most likely explanation for the 
				phenomena.    
				Given the potentially serious implications of this 
				hypothesis, it makes sense to seriously investigate the 
				potential implications of this hypothesis and to seek answers to 
				the following questions: 
					
						
						
						Who are the visitors?
						
						What do they want from us?
						
						How are our governments reacting to this presence?
						
						Are government agencies hiding information about UFOs from the 
				public? 
				"Paul Hellyer is the perhaps the 
				first former senior Canadian government minister to suggest that 
				these questions are important policy questions and that the 
				public has a right to be involved in the development of policy 
				regarding the response of government to possible 
				extra-terrestrial contact events." 
			  
			  
			  
			What astrophysicists 
			and astronomers have to say about Hawking's statements on 
			extraterrestrial civilizations
 The following are excerpts from some of the responses of 12 
			astrophysicists and astronomers to Prof. Stephen Hawking's on 
			extraterrestrial civilizations, as published in the 
			
			Journal of 
			Cosmology.
 
				
				"Cosmology" (from Greek
				κοσμολογία
				- 
				
				κόσμος, 
				kosmos, "universe"; and 
				
				-λογία, -logia-, "study") 
				"is the study and understanding of existence in its totality, 
				encompassing the infinite and eternal, and the origins and 
				evolution of the cosmos, galaxies, stars, planets, earth, life, 
				woman and man." 
			As stated by Hawking,  
				
				"To my 
			mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens 
			perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens 
			might actually be like..."  
			According to Hawking aliens,  
				
				"would be 
			only limited by how much power they could harness and control, and 
			that could be far more than we might first imagine... Such advanced 
			aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize 
			whatever planets they can reach... I imagine they might exist in 
			massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home 
			planet...   
				If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much 
			as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't 
			turn out very well for the Native Americans." 
			The full responses can be accessed in the 
			
			Journal of Cosmology here.
 
			How to evaluate these "cosmological" responses by mainstream science 
			  
				
					
					
					Scientific incompetence 
					As previously stated by Examiner in 
			Scientists at UK Royal Society ET conference 
					
					unaware of 
			extraterrestrial presence on Earth, these mainstream Cosmology 
			scientists seem largely unaware that extraterrestrial civilizations 
			are visiting Earth at present, and ignorant of the empirical 
			evidence for their presence.    
					A summary of this empirical 
					evidence is available 
					
					here 
					and
					
					here. Clearly the "canon" 
					of science excludes any information outside of the 20th 
					century paradigm that humanity are the only higher 
					intelligent species in Earth's immediate environment. 
					
					
					Paul Hellyer's vision 
					Paul Hellyer continues to be the only 
			statesman who has spoken out about the dangers of interplanetary war 
			the U.S.-U.K. military-intelligence establishment seems to be 
			carrying out.
 Although other former government officials have come forth to affirm 
			the extraterrestrial presence, none have publicly expressed concern 
			about space weaponization and space warfare against ethical 
			extraterrestrials.
