| Exopolitics by Tom Hansen Originally published in Echo (Charlottesville, Va.) The X-Conference was held April 17-18 in the Washington, D.C., area. The conference was focused on the decades-long research that has been conducted by many individuals and organizations into the UFO/ET presence here on Earth. The research has been going on for more than 50 years, but there is a new term being used to describe it these days: Exopolitics. To some people, the term means getting disclosure of the facts regarding the reality of UFOs and ETs. To others, it means dealing with the implications of this ET presence for humanity. To some, Exopolitics concerns itself more with the technological implications of it all. And to others, the importance lies in the spiritual significance. The presence of Off Planet Cultures (OPCs) certainly does and will affect every aspect of human existence on Earth and in space, and Exopolitics rightly should include all of these concerns. The 700 people who attended the X-Conference were a demonstration that the time has come for more people to seriously consider what the presence of OPCs means for us and our future, and for the future of Earth. The time of denial, ridicule and lack of education on the subject may be drawing to an end now, and perhaps Exopolitics will become a recognized discipline that will enable more people to take a serious look at the question of UFO and ET interaction with humanity. In 1992 I wrote a Declaration of Cooperation, which over the years has been revised with the help of numerous individuals. Thousands of copies of it have been distributed at various events during the past 12 years. A year ago, it was revised to include the intentions of humanity in dealing with Off Planet Cultures, and it is now called the Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation (DCC). Beginning in January of this year, the DCC was sent to thousands of people through internet lists, chaining from one to another. Two hundred paper copies of it were distributed at the X-Conference, as well. The DCC is an attempt to state the intention of humanity to have peaceful relations with peaceful Off Planet Cultures, on an equal basis, for the benefit of all beings and their environments. The DCC is an example of the type of education, intention-setting and research that is going on today within this growing field of Exopolitics. Introduction to the Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation The Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation is designed to state our human intention to now join in peaceful relations with Off Planet Cultures. At the present time, a handful of people in the world are determining for all of humanity how we relate to beings from other regions of the Universe, and these few people are not choosing a path of peace. President Eisenhower reportedly said in the 1950s that the subject of actual UFO and ET presence on Earth is not in the best of hands, that it was being controlled by a covert military/industrial group. Those people currently in control of Off Planet Culture contact wish to weaponize space. They have actually engaged in attacks on Off Planet Culture craft and occupants, and they also refuse to use what has been learned from Off Planet Cultures for the benefit of all of humankind. They are choosing to give the world new and terrible weapons, rather than an infinite and nonpolluting energy generation system, which has been reverse-engineered from UFO technology. We should not be at the mercy of these few humans who wish to continue the game of secrecy, and who wish to continue to withhold actual workable technology that would completely eliminate our need for fossil fuels, nuclear technology and internal combustion engines. In the Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation, we are stating to the Universe that "we the people" now want space to be a place of peace, that we humans want to be peaceful participants with members of Off Planet Cultures, and that we want to reap the benefits of such relations with them. If governments will not take the initiative for peaceful membership in the Universal Community, then we will do so by declaring our intent in the Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation. Declaration of Cosmic Cooperation Because of the course of events on Earth, it has become necessary for we humans to declare our desire to join with peaceful civilizations throughout the Universe to save Earth and ourselves from our own excessive self-interest. We desire to use our creativity to assure that all living things on Earth are free to enjoy the resources and beauty of Creation now and throughout future generations. We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable; that all are created with the right to enjoy the Universe and receive sustenance; all are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty and the realization of Happiness; that to secure these rights we recognize that the denial of the rights of any living thing affects the rights of all beings in the Universe. Civilizations are legitimized by their ability to promote these rights for all life now and in the future. They should exist for the purpose of recognizing and serving the unity of life. To the extent that they promote primarily their own identity, they inhibit the recognition and implementation of this unity. Extreme identification with any part of the whole Cosmos, be it a particular region of the Cosmos, a planet, nation, religion, race, institution or species, is detrimental to individual and collective peace throughout the Universe. We humans have changed life on Earth. We have converted valuable resources into waste products. We have threatened the very existence of life on Earth with our weapons of mass destruction, mass pollution and mass poverty. We have allowed our strong desire for independence to interfere with our innate and natural qualities of goodness, love and sharing. We have been lured into the belief that our individual lives are more important than the lives of others, wherever they reside. We humans now choose to change our approach to all of life to be that of service-to-others, rather than service-to-self. We vow to eliminate our over-identification with our particular individual lives and with our planet. We vow to create a new sense of cooperation that values the life force within everything. We pledge our lives to co-creating a Universe where all beings can more easily remember their natural freedom, unity, and goodness. We pledge that we, the people of Earth, shall strive to become peaceful and productive members of the Universal community of beings.
