Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament Asked To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien “Et” Civilizations Thu Nov 24, 7:00 AM ET

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.”

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.”

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.”

Probably the best overview I’ve ever read about the SHORTCOMINGS of the current system of Federal Response and Recovery. The system as it is now is just another entitlement program…like welfare…like social security…hell…most federal programs.

What is needed is INDIVIDUALS taking responsibility for personal preparedness. That won’t happen until massive disasters are happening EVERY WEEK…or EVERY DAY. Only then, when disaster is just a stroke of luck away, but almost guarenteed to affect someone near you…including you…will prepping become a daily, instinctional event…for everyone.

Still, there will ALWAYS be those that will DEMAND that the government take care of them…and those will be the ones, like New Orleans, that will be standing in a foul smelling, unpowered, uncomfortable, crowded, and dangerous mass shelters…if their dead and bloated bodies aren’t found later in the debris of their own unprotected homes.

Sorry to be so blunt…but if you can’t and won’t start learning how to take care of yourself in any situation, you deserve no sympathy or compassion from me or anyone else.

Sharing and Reducing the Financial Risks of Future “Mega-Catastrophes”

Executive Summary

The devastating 2005 hurricane season—especially the three large hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast and Florida (Katrina, Rita and Wilma)—has graphically demonstrated how dangerous nature can be. The huge storms also should serve as a wake-up call to remind us that, even if the United States manages to escape another terrorist attack, it is virtually certain that at some point there will be one or more natural catastrophes with similar or even greater catastrophic impacts: earthquakes in the West (California, Seattle) or Midwest (along the Mew Madrid fault) and perhaps multiple Category 4 or 5 hurricanes (like Katrina or worse) in the Gulf or on the East Coast, including a possible direct hit as far north as New York.

So far, policy makers and the media have concentrated on how to rebuild the areas damaged by the storms so that they can withstand Category 4/5 hurricanes in the future. This is appropriate and necessary. But little or no attention is being given to how to reduce and pay for the potential costs of future “mega-catastrophes” of the kinds just witnessed, singly (Katrina) or in combination, during the 2005 hurricane season. This must change. Had more thought been given to this subject and suitable action taken prior to this summer, the losses (human and economic) would not have been as great, especially in the case of Katrina, and the process of recovering from losses would have been less chaotic.

A disastrous history
Nov 24, 2005
by Marvin Olasky

While Congress plays at cutting a few billion dollars from the bloated federal budget, the larger financial disaster hanging over us is Washington’s promises to pay the multibillion-dollar costs of Hurricane Katrina and of hurricanes and earthquakes to come. How did we get into this mess?

It started small. Huge deficit-builders are always as small as newborn pandas at first, although hardly as cute. When Minnesota suffered flooding in 1950, Rep. Harold Hagen asked his congressional colleagues to provide relief for his state. He introduced a bill that became the Disaster Relief Act, the federal government’s first means of creating “an orderly and continuing method of rendering assistance to the states and local governments in alleviating suffering and damage.” The bill’s price tag was only $5 million.

A disastrous history

This one is an oldie (2002) but a goody. Even more interesting with the recent events of Katrina and Rita, and other regional catastrophies since 9/11. Interesting find about my friend Jim Jones as well, mentioned in the article. Small world…

What do you think? Use the comments section to reply.

The ‘new survivalists’
Americans prepare for the worst in a post-9/11 world
By Jonathan Dube
MSNBC

July 29, 2002 - Survivalism is going mainstream. In the wake of Sept. 11, a growing number of Americans are turning to the techniques of survivalism to prepare themselves for terrorism and disaster. But this “New Survivalism” isn’t just about self-preservation. Instead of plotting retreats into mountain bunkers, the New Survivalists are living normal lives while trying to protect family and friends from threats that now seem very real.

In our new world order, where terrorists may strike anybody anywhere; where The New York Times Magazine declares a nuclear attack to be not a question of if, but when; and where survival of the fittest may no longer be just an evolutionary theory but the linchpin of modern-day living, Americans are seeking new ways to ensure that they are fit enough to survive.

As a result, survivalism has undergone a revival since Sept. 11.

I haven’t seen this email threat yet, but I do get dozens of other threats in email EVERY day…including paypal, ebay, multiple banks and more used in phishing attemptes to steal my login data. I simply roll over the link, and if it’s NOT the URL I expect, I kill the email.

Notice of this new threat below is making the rounds of the web, so DON’T get bit by an attempt to open anything from the FBI. If it’s REALLY the FBI, they’ll be at your front door…flashing badges…

FBI ALERTS PUBLIC TO RECENT E-MAIL SCHEME

E-mails purporting to come from FBI are phony

Washington, D.C. - The FBI is warning the public to avoid falling victim to
an on-going mass e-mail scheme wherein computer users received unsolicited
e-mails purportedly sent by the FBI. These scam e-mails tell the recipients
that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI and that they have
accessed illegal web sites. The e-mails then direct recipients to open an
attachment and answer questions.

The e-mail appears to be sent from the e-mail addresses of mail@fbi.gov,
post@fbi.gov and admin@fbi.gov. There may be other similarly styled
addresses. The recipient is enticed to open the zip attachment which
contains a variant of the w32/sober virus. If the program within the zip
attachment is executed then the virus is launched and may affect the user’s
computer.

The text of the email is as follows:

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites.

Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached.

Yours faithfully,
Steven Allison
Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI-

These e-mails did not come from the FBI. Recipients of this or similar
solicitations should know that the FBI does not engage in the practice of
sending unsolicited e-mails to the public in this manner.

Opening e-mail attachments from an unknown sender is a risky and dangerous
endeavor as such attachments frequently contain viruses that can infect the
recipient’s computer. The FBI strongly encourages computer users not to open
such attachments. For detailed information on the effects of running this
virus please log onto http://www.cert.org .

The FBI takes this matter seriously and is investigating. Users are
instructed to delete the e-mail without opening it.
