Yes, We Can in Barcelona!

European Exopolitics Summit 2009, Barcelona Conference

In an time where the economy has cut attendance of UFO conferences down to a minimum, it was quite a shock to see one thousand four hundred people from all over the world seated in blue velvet chairs in the Auditorium at Melia hotel, a four star hotel in Sitges beach resort, Spain.
            The topic was Exopolitics, a relatively new study which is catching on in American but more so in Europe. It is, as participant Dr Michael Salla, a co-founder of the movement, defines it “the study of the political actors, institutions and key processes associated with the extraterrestrial presence on Earth.” This definition includes “the academic scholarly study of the UFO phenomenon and the political, as well as, social implications of contact.”

   Exopolitics delves way past sightings and the gathering of evidence. It says “the evidence is obvious, now what do we do about it? What are governments doing about this? The evidence, the photos, the testimony, the research presented in Spain did not solicit ridicule nor laughter. Organized as a World Summit meeting with representatives from all over Europe,it had a formidable representation . People like French pilot Jean Charles Duboc
(Exopolitics,France) whose encounter with a UFO nearly caused a mid air collision, Nick Pope ex emplyee of the Britsh ministry of Defence, Robert Fleicher from Germany ( Exopolitics Germanty), Frederik Uldall( Exopolitics Denmark), Olli Pajula (Exopolitics Fineland),David Griffin ( Exopolitics Uk) and finally the organizer Pepon Jover( Exopolitics Spain.)

The Spanish have more than sangria to celebrate.Both Pepon and  conference director,Miguel Celades Rex most charmingly welcomed the  general public with an extremely well-organized conference which included a pre-conference press conference that included over 40 media representatives and documentary makers.
 
        The issue of how to interact with other cosmic civilizations has been considered in the past. Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer, who both worked on the atomic bomb project and who had noticed an increase in UFO activity at the White Sands site in New Mexico, drafted a document meant for President Truman in 1947s asking important questions. Who on the planet would speak for us and what could we learn from these off-worlders? The document, directed at President Truman, suggested the idea of a “supra-United Nations”, which would be empowered to deal with the emerging issues addressed by Exopolitics today.

     The list of invited speakers was notable.

Sergeant Major Robert Dean, who served in US Intelligence Field Operations and was stationed at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, the military arm of Nato. In  1964,Nato published a report called “An Assessment”, which acknowledged and analyzed the implications of an alien presence on Earth.
Alfred Webre, who wrote the first book on Exopolitics,,spoke about the SolarCycles
 
Nick Pope, who investigated UFO reports at the MOD  between 1991 and 1994, and who spoke about some of the thinking behind  the recent release of 17,000 pages  of FOA documents
Dr Michael Salla, director of the Exopolitics Institute and author of two books on Exopolitics, provided a framework of reference for  Exopolitics with a very well organized presentation.

Klaus Dona presented archaeological evidence, photographs of artifacts and skeletons he has documented over 10 years while curator of the Habsburg Haus of Austria. There seems to be an archaeological connection to visitations to our planet.

 Paola Harris spoke of the Nine Protocols for preparing humanity for a peaceful respectful contact. Her latest book Exopolitics: All the Above includes in depth interviews, as well, as several essays on possible contact scenarios.

Dr Steven Greer, emergency room doctor and founder of The Disclosure Project, was the major speaker. On May 9, 2001, Dr Greer presided over a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, where  more than 20 military, government, intelligence and corporate  witnesses presented testimonies regarding the existence of  extraterrestrial life forms on the planet, and the reverse engineering  of energy and propulsion systems from alien craft. He is now devoted to the Orion Project and the development of “free energy “devices.
 
 Steven Bassett, creator of the X conferences in Washington,DC, 
spoke about the role of the Unites States in possible future 
disclosure and the end of the “Truth Embargo.”

And finally, Dr. Brian O’leary, ex astronaut and also author of a  book on alternative energy research convinced the crowd that we must  embrace a new paradigm for the survival of the planet.

 The message of peacefully transforming the planet and ending the development of nuclear weapons drew support from thousands of people present. It was obvious that the policies of major nations that are actively building nuclear weapons is a chief concern of many Extraterrestrial races. Many sightings occur over nuclear installations.
      The consensus was that this is a “ Planetary dilemma” and should be addressed on a planetary level and not by individual special interest groups, or governments who have their own separate agendas.” Each year the polling data shows that public awareness of the ET issue grows; the number of people who think the government is lying grows. About 70 per cent believe the UFO phenomenon is of ET in origin. The Evidence is growing.

       This, plus the urgency to confront this issue with the 
European Union or the United Nations, was the chief goal of the 
Petition developed in this Summit. The representatives of Exopolitics Spain submitted a special resolution to the EU.
 
This prestigious group will be known as the pioneer group of the
2009 Exopolitics Summit.  In November 2010, the organizers plan to meet again but this time there will be seating for 3,000. Equally qualified group of speakers and first hand witnesses will again be invited.

        It was a signal that now was the time for us all to come together again over these crucial issues.  YES, we can! Yes, we did!  See you in 2010 in Barcelona.
