update – the original link was to a legitimate site, but has now gone dead. I can’t find anything online indicating this is a hoax, but it has the distinct smell of one. There are a lot of net references to a petition for a “UNITED NATIONS DECADE OF CONTACT” Petition, but nothing much else.
Until now, it only seemed like UN funding dropped into the void …. now, they’ve made it official;
For the first time in 27 years, the United Nations General Assembly will be debating the issue of establishing diplomatic relations with advanced Extraterrestrial Civilizations that may now be visiting Earth. On December 16, 2005, a Resolution to establish a United Nations Decade of Contact was formally transmitted to the incoming President of the General Assembly, H.E. Jan Eliasson of Sweden by the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), a Non-Governmental Organization. Almost to the day twenty-seven years ago, on December 18, 1978, the United Nations General Assembly voted to approve decision 33/426, inviting U.N. Member States “to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of the observations, research and evaluation of such activities.”
This sounds like a job for a former Canadian defence minister!
h/t Heard Here

Anyone seen the Movie “Mars Attacks”?
I can just see Kofi now, meeting the Ambassador from Mars: “It’s an honor, Mister Ambassador.”
And right after the Ambassador says, “We come in peace….”
Ack, ack. Ack, ack, ack, ack!
Stop it ……your killing me :):):)
Paul Hellyer destroyed the pride of the CAF with his idea of unification of the armed forces.His ideas of only allowing senior rank promotion of bilingual officers ensured a generation of boot lickers from Quebec(with an eye on keeping their civilian masters happy.. )these men dominate the command structure of the military as it is constituted today.PH was/is a man who believed in the social engineering of the Liberals even as applied to the military.
Paul Hellyer..you have got to be kidding, the only thing he ever done was spend a lot of money ,destroy all esprit de corps,dress everyone in funny uniforms,make the sailors look like bus drivers then head for the hills before he accidently spent all his money.Was he a grit or a tory, he screwed things up so much it is hard to know where to put the blame.
Hey Marv – click the “defence minister” link.
Just another reason the U.N should be ignored.
The prequel to Serenity ?
Good Lord!!!! If this works out can you imagine the Public Works tab for Relocation Services. It can’t be cheap to send Lib buddies to Zaxon5.
LOL!!!
Our defence Minister would be very good at the united nations job JOB HE HAS BEEN SPACED OUT WITH THE REST OF THE PARTY FOR YEARS, along with most of the U.N. members
God help us all- a new federal government department, (located in Quebec, and bi-lingualism required- of course!)

i have tacked to the front of my ‘puter a mother goose and grim cartoon that puts it all in perspective.
grim and atilla are out stargazing…
grim says: there’s a lot of intelligent life out there.
atilla asks: how can you tell?
grim replies: no one has ever attempted to CONTACT us !
I guess the UN believes it is somehow divinely destined to transform itself into the headquarters of the future United Federation of Planets.
I can see it now: Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the UFP. He’ll chair assemblies composed of Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, and, yep, even the Borg (hell, the bad guys of the world have already hijacked the UN, right?).
Would Marc Garneau get a patronage appointment to the captaincy of the first Federation starship?
I guess the UN intellectuals must be delusional, die-hard Trekkie geeks…
The link is bad now, it’s nowhere to be found. I just looked all over the web. It’s like some alien objected. … did anyone bother to download the PDF file .. I would love to get it.

The UN can debate the issue of establishing diplomatic relations with advanced Extraterrestrial Civilizations that may now be visiting Earth ’till they’re blue in the face, and I still won’t enter into diplomatic relations with them.
One of their Board of Directors & Advisors is shown as (Deceased/2004).Dead. He is probably their advance man. >>>>
(Deceased 2004) International Director, Bombay, India, Dr. RASHMI MAYUR was the Director, International Institute For Sustainable Future, a non-profit research and educational organization, and President, Global Futures Network, a United Nations affiliated NGO since 1976. He served as Special Advisor to the Secretary General of the Earth Summit, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1992 and the Habitat Summit, Istanbul, 1996. He was the Vice Chairman of the NGO Unispace Conference of the UN in 1982 and a member of the team to build a Space City under Dr. Gerard O’Neil.>>>

China overtakes Canada in outer space search for aliens
By Judi McLeod
Monday, January 2, 2006
The Peoples Republic of China will give “life-on-other-planet” Canadians a run for their money on pushing the UFO agenda in 2006.
Canada already has a welcoming committee at the ready to establish diplomacy with “ethical Off-Planet cultures now visiting earth”.
Since 1964, Canada has been home to the world�s first UFO landing pad in St. Paul, Alberta, a 130-ton concrete structure built as that city�s Centennial project.

Don’t get on the ship. The book, “To Serve Man”, IT’S A COOKBOOK!”
Aliens? .. christ .. I don’t even want to talk to liberals
It costs money in preparing little laminated cards in Esperanto and ASL for over 200 delegates to say “We Surrender”.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
I can see Mr. Hellyer’s retirement residence will be the SRHDV…
– Shady Rest Home for dyslectic Vulcans…

Question: Since Scotty has passed on, who can beam me up now?
I think it’s a great idea for the UN to look for signs of intelligent life elsewhere. They’ve probably given up on Ottawa.
Hat’s off to the United Nations! Way to use those Tsunami relief dollars!!!
pure moonbat
no wonder some call the country north of here Canukistan
I think it isn’t official UN policy, as I searched their site. It is just a project by some left wingnuts. http://peacejournalism.com/ReadArticle.asp?ArticleID=2013

Also, if you have a problem with disappearing or changing web pages, use either furl or spurl or Yahoo Myweb2.0 to save a copy of the page. I am using spurl to save copies of all Liberal, Green and NDP webpages that violate the elections act, for a future post, and in case some wants to file a complaint.

January 2, 2006: The Church of the SubGenius has announced that the end of the world will take place on Wednesday, July 5, 2006. In preparation for the fulfillment of this doomsday prophecy, the Church is requesting that all of its members participate in a bizarre religious ceremony taking place in upstate New York, during the final weekend before the arrival of the apocalypse. Since its inception in 1953, Church founder J.R. “Bob” Dobbs has predicted that a fleet of flying saucers will arrive at the beginning of July to destroy the worldwide Conspiracy against the Church of the SubGenius,… ^^^^^^^^
