Some UFO advocates are more than a little steamed that Canada Free Press doesn't buy into Paul Hellyer's notion that our governments are holding out on us with a store of secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes that could be put to good use in stemming global warming.
Surely the stinky socks little green men were looking for at Al Bundy's place would be just as likely to stem global warming.
"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation...that could be a way to save our planet," Hellyer, a former Canadian defense minister told the Ottawa Citizen.
Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, according to Hellyer.
Some UFO advocates who wrote to tell me off dispatched their setters not to me but to my fellow columnists. But at least they didn't try to portray me as Darth Vader. They left that for the likes of radio giant Rush Limbaugh, who suggested on one of his shows last week that the notion of secret alien technologies as an answer to runaway global warming was so much, well, hooey.
Of the unidentified flying objects, Limbaugh laughingly said, "Well, I know it's hard to park the things."
When it comes to pointing out the hypocrisies of Al-leave-the-lights-on-Gore, no one does a better job than Rush with his "Global Warming Stack of Stuff".
Hellyer is not alone in suspecting that governments are holding out on us regarding UFOs. But he is vastly alone in the courage that it takes to come out and say so.
The CFP the letter writers got it wrong when they said we ridiculed those who believe in UFOs. At least get it straight, gentlemen. We ridicule those who would exploit alien technology for their own political agenda.
It is possible to believe in UFOs and alien technology without believing in man-made global warming.
From some of the homework I have been doing on the UFO information sent to me in the aftermath of last Friday's cover story, I am not ruling out the possibility that aliens exist, perhaps even in places we least suspect.
As my dear friend and colleague, the Poland-based journalist David Dastych asks: "Why should we, the Earth-dwellers reject the idea that there are "aliens" in outer space?"
"Should we believe we are "unique" in the cosmos? I think that our civilization, if it can survive, is still far behind other "cosmic" civilizations. And this may be the main reason that we are "not communicative" with alien civilizations."
We long ago left the knee-jerk image of "little green men" on television sitcoms of the 70s.
But in this case it is not the little green men that are the problem.
It's the little green dollars that former politicians and United Nation hucksters are paying themselves in the acquisition of carbon credits that's the big problem.
And some of the same politicians remaining tight lipped on the notion that governments are sitting on alien technology that could save the earth, were not so long ago part of those governments--indeed could even be heading back in that direction in time for the next election.
Could alien technology stem global warming and climate change?
Sounds to me like an imaginary solution for what could be an imaginary problem.
Mother Earth needs saving but not from global warming.
She needs rescuing from the scam artists, politicians and scaremongers, who would stoop so low to frighten grade school children.
In the same way that not everybody believes in flying saucers, not everybody believes in man-made global warming.
"Compared to Al Gore, my eco footprint is the size of a dwarf baby mouse," one reader wrote to CFP. "I live in a 2-storey, self-built log home with a total of 600 sq ft. living space, plus basement. My power for one year is $600 max, wood heat and electric for stand-by and reverse.
"We're already taxed every which way, but now it's time for a World Tax? We must be on the created road to hell on earth."
Meanwhile, if space aliens are really here, should people in that lucrative cottage industry known as global warming be so quick to exploit them?
What if the scorched earth society predicted by Al Gore and Company is coming from the space aliens traveling vast distances to reach Earth?
What if Al Gore is a space alien and not a space cadet?
It's not likely that self-respecting space aliens would want to cooperate with any government that had anything to do with Carbon Bigfoot Al Gore.
