NEWS RELEASE: http://www.ecologynews.com/cuenews34.html
 

VANCOUVER, BC - Crucial issues on preservation of the peaceful uses of outer space will be discussed at a Vancouver space forum:

  • Canada’s announced world initiative to ban space-based weapons; 
  • Advanced Extraterrestrial energy technologies that can be used to solve critical environmental and world poverty problems; 
  • Exopolitical debate: Who is responsible for representing Earth in relations with off-planet civilizations? How can a peaceful interface with off-planet relations be achieved? 
Disclosure Project Director Steven M. Greer, M.D., and two Co-Directors of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), Dr. Carol Rosin, and Vancouver-based Alfred Webre, JD, MEd will speak at an outer space forum at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver on Sunday, Sept. 9, on a tour that includes Seattle, New York and the U.K. 

This tour began when the non-profit Disclosure Project held a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on May 9, 2001, where 20 military, scientific and corporate witnesses called for open discussions about contact with other civilizations in space.  A video of this news conference can be accessed through www.disclosureproject.org. 

In Greer’s 1999 book Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications (Crossing Point Inc., 526 pages) he says low-cost, pollution-free energy and propulsion systems based on Extraterrestrial technologies are available but are being kept secret by vested interests.  Steven Greer's new book Disclosure (Crossing Point, Inc. 573 pages) contains the testimony of numerous military, scientific, and corporate witnesses to the Extraterrestrial presence.  See www.disclosureproject.org. 

The SFU event will include a video of Disclosure high-level witnesses to Extraterrestrial-related events.  A webcast URL for the event will be announced.

Dr. Carol Rosin, President of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), testifies against spaced-based weapons and for the transformation of the weapons industry to  cooperative space development and exploration.  According to the magazine Military Space, Dr. Rosin “is regarded to be the original political architect of the move to stop the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) and ASATs (Anti-satellite weapons)". 

ICIS International Director Alfred Webre will discuss a Canadian Parliamentary brief asking for a ban on space-based weapons and open discussions on contact with Extraterrestrial civilizations. On July 26, 2001, Canadian Foreign Minister John Manley announced that "Canada would be very happy…to launch an initiative to see an international convention preventing the weaponization of space."   Vancouver-based Alfred Webre initiated the 1977 Carter White House Extraterrestrial Communication study in Washington, D.C.
