John Petersen: Extraterrestrials, Consciousness, and Why Nuclear War Is Not Going To Happen

Extraterrestial Intelligence, Peace Intelligence

I think of the ET thing in terms of the evolution of the human species – moving toward becoming cosmic citizens/humans with active engagement with our neighbors.  It is the inevitable next step in the evolution process with all of the attendant changes in perspective, outlook, capabilities, etc.

There is good reason to believe that we (humans) are on a trajectory that is common, having been executed literally millions of times on other planets, where when at least a small but critical mass of the residents rise to a level of consciousness that they are contacted and embraced by those who seeded and nurtured them in the beginning and then are ushered into becoming cosmic citizens with advice, mentoring, technology, etc.

US Foreign Policy Is A War On Disobedience

In an excellent new essay titled “We’re Not the Good Guys — Why Is American Aggression Missing in Action?“, Tom Engelhardt criticizes the way western media outlets consistently describe the behavior of disobedient nations like Iran as “aggressions”, but never use that label for the (generally antecedent and far more egregious) aggressions of the United States

The U.S. has military forces in over a hundred countries. So why won't the mainstream media call us an aggressor? http://bit.ly/2JghkPk
