Open interaction with Universe society could yield fairly rapid 
				results in forestalling our ecological crisis, and elevating 
				human society. New energy non-polluting energy sources - of 
				human design and application could at last be made available 
				without their inventor’s fearing assassination by petroleum and 
				nuclear interests. Our petroleum civilization would be 
				stalemated and made obsolete. Universe society’s laws and 
				institutions prohibit war as a conflict resolution mechanism. 
				The ruling terrestrial elites - and the permanent war economy - 
				have historically used war as a key means of production and 
				power. 
				
				Exopolitics is the study of law, government and politics in the 
				Universe. It is Universe law, government, and politics that will 
				liberate human society. 
				
				As to the time frame, that is dependent on human interactivity. 
				We must build an exopolitical grass-roots on Earth - a 
				Decade of 
				Contact for community politics and education about Universe 
				society and our Universal heritage. 
				 
				
				
				
				Q: What encompasses our Universe society? What do you 
				believe is actually going on here? A re-integration? Has there 
				been a continuous, hidden, non-terrestrial presence on earth 
				throughout history?; What is your theory on non-terrestrial 
				intervention? 
				
				A: Universal law encompasses all of the Universe - 
				Universal law and justice exist and govern all intelligent life 
				in the Universe. Universe society is one society - a 
				multiplicity of societies under Universal law. 
				
				 
				Human society, by analogy, is a unitary, multi-cultural society 
				on a single life-bearing planet. 
				We are to Universe society as a garden is to the gardener. 
				Life-bearing planets and the life species on them are grown and 
				developed by dimensional civilizations which are devoted to 
				this. 
				
				There are many inter-acting facets to what we call 
				"Non-terrestrial" or "Extraterrestrial". What we see as 
				"Interstellar space" is but one dimension of a multi-dimensional 
				Universe. Thus advanced, interplanetary civilizations are in 
				fact, "multi-dimensional", "extraterrestrial" "interstellar" and 
				perhaps even "planetary" on another life-bearing planet. What is 
				of important to Exopolitics is that all of this reality - all 
				interactions and relationships by intelligent life in the 
				Universe -are ruled by law, government and politics. 
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: Are global management bodies in contact with some sort 
				of Galactic Federation or with some sort of supernatural 
				spiritual adepts? 
				
				A: Possibly. From some evidence there may have been fifty 
				years of intrigue and power relationships between a lower order 
				non-terrestrial force and USA military-intelligence networks. 
				Conversely, the highest covert priority of the USA military over 
				the last 50 years appears to be waging an information war 
				against the non-terrestrial presence - a knowledge embargo; 
				black propaganda and black ops to demonize the non-terrestrials.
				
				
				But this is almost beside the point in the long run. 
				
				Universe society is acting to increase the awareness of the 
				human race as a whole. Open interaction with the highest levels 
				of Universe society is designed for the evolution of the human 
				race, not the illusory temporal power needs of a few white men.
				
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: If your 1977 Carter White House Extraterrestrial 
				Communication Study had not been terminated, what would you have 
				found? Would we have had disclosure over the last 25 years? How 
				would today be different? 
				
				A: We would most probably be now acting under 25 years of 
				open disclosure. The differences could be incalculable, with 
				that degree of power and authority to open up interaction and 
				get beyond the zero-sum game of the death forces that now 
				enforce the embargo against open contact. 
				
				"The only way out is through," the saying goes. Well, we didn’t 
				get through under the Carter Administration, so now we must get 
				through at the grass-roots. 
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: Are the non-terrestrials acclimating/acclimatizing us 
				to their presence? What must humanity do before they exist with 
				us more openly? 
				
				A: Yes. Acclimating is a good term for this process. The 
				entire UFO phenomenon can be seen as a vast peripheral-cuing 
				mass psychological condition project to enhance our awareness of 
				higher intelligence in the Universe. 
				
				Humanity is in a very good place, psychologically and 
				Universally. Between 50 and 100 million adult North Americans 
				(between 25% and 50% of the adult populations - Gallup and Zogby 
				polls) believe in the reality of extraterrestrial presence on 
				Earth. They will not have a problem absorbing the new 
				post-reality. 
				The difficulty is not the human population - it is the networks 
				of human governments and the ownership of a petroleum and 
				nuclear energy civilization that is in the hands of 
				retrogressive forces. The ruling terrestrial elites are not 
				ignorant of the non-terrestrial presence. They are actively 
				carrying out a fifty year information war against our 
				integration with Universe society. 
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: Please offer your thoughts on weapons in space; killer 
				comets/asteroids; the role of the United Nations with 
				non-terrestrial contact; some sort of shift in the consciousness 
				of humanity. 
				
				A: The USA’s "Star Wars" and the militarization of space 
				is part of the information war against Earth’s integration with 
				Universe society. Star Wars is an "inside code word" for this 
				war among the military planners. The issue is whether our space 
				technology will be in accord with Universal principles, or 
				controlled by a military empire. Dealing with near earth objects 
				is a common application of space technology. The USA will 
				ultimately suffer ignominious defeat by Universe society should 
				it persist as a space military power. 
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: Exopolitics seems to involve elite power groups- 
				information, propaganda, coverup, disclosure, etc. What is the 
				situation concerning pro and anti-disclosure factions? Will the 
				non-terrestrials bypass this earth-style politics? 
				
				A: Exopolitics merely describes a process - that of law, 
				politics and government in the Universe. Politics does not end 
				at the geostationary orbit. It is Universal. 
				
				The task of our generation is to make exopolitics at the 
				grassroots level. Where are the concerts on behalf of 
				integrating with the Universe? Where are the artists, the 
				activists, the students, the writers, the militants? Answer - 
				they are coping with the effects of the information war and the 
				embargo against even thinking that non-terrestrial civilization.
				
				
				How do we bust out into a grassroots exopolitics - like the 
				Peace movement, say of the 1960s-80s? 
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: What essential points are you trying to make in 
				EXOPOLITICS? 
				
				A: Exopolitics is more than extraterrestrial politics. 
				Exopolitics is real and an immediate part of Earth’s social 
				ecology. Exopolitics, as a discipline, is the study of politics, 
				government and law in the Universe. It is an authentic, newly 
				received branch of human knowledge, as well as an exciting 
				frontier. Exopolitics is also the self-regulating process of a 
				populated, highly advanced and organized Universe. Exopolitics 
				provides the institutional framework for Earth’s integration 
				into Universe society. That process is now ongoing and will 
				accelerate as exopolitical realities are awakened in humankind.
				
				 
				
				 
				
				Q: What, in your mind, are the political implications of 
				
				  
				
				the book EXOPOLITICS? 
				
				A: Well, we don’t know yet the impact of the Exopolitics 
				perspective. But the implications of exopolitics itself for 
				human politics are profound. The change to be brought about is 
				not a sea change, it is a Universe change for human kind. The 
				current paradigm of human politics has the political process 
				ending at Earth’s edge (as the human law of outer space 
				establishes). Exopolitics mediates Earth’s political and 
				governmental relationships with societies and organizations in 
				interplanetary society. The impact of exopolitics on human 
				politics will be transformative. An aware Grass roots politics 
				will deconstruct the information war waged against the 
				Extraterrestrial Initiative, largely by Echelon countries (USA, 
				UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada). Humankind will reclaim 
				their Universal rights to Universal citizenship. Earth’s 
				politics will extend to the exopolitics of other societies in 
				the Universe. 
				 
				
				
				
				Q: How do your credentials and background bolster the 
				disclosure process? 
				
				A: I think of my contribution to the exopolitical process 
				in terms of praxis, the melding of theory and practice. As 
				theory, in The Age of Cataclysm (1974) we developed the context 
				theory of extraterrestrial communications. That is, interpreting 
				UFO encounters and the UFO phenomenon as intentional 
				communication, through an analogue of dream interpretation 
				theory. Many UFO encounters are archetypal communications from a 
				higher source. The UFO phenomenon itself can be seen as 
				peripheral cueing of our species with a goal of activating 
				Universe awareness. These UFO-based communications are part of 
				our process of Universe integration. 
				
				As practice, in 1977, as a futurist with the Center for the 
				Study of Social Policy at SRI, I formulated and developed a 
				proposed study with the Carter White House 
				on extraterrestrial communication. That study was brutally terminated by the 
				intervention of the SRI-Pentagon liaison in September, 1977. So 
				I am familiar with the information war, and am a practitioner of 
				exopolitics. 
				 
				
				
				
				Q: If you were to narrow down the most important aspect 
				of your contribution to this process, what would it be? 
				
				A: This question itself illustrates the fresh perspective 
				exopolitics brings. "Important" from whose perspective: the 
				perspective of terrestrial civilization, or the Extraterrestrial 
				Initiative? The Extraterrestrial phenomenon - in its Universal 
				manifestation - is interactive, highly evolved, 
				multi-dimensional (I am not talking about near-Earth remnants of 
				our Universe quarantine). I am still not quite sure how my 
				actions might be "important" from an Extraterrestrial 
				perspective. Thanks for the question.
