Its themes are equality and fellowship before God of all peoples of the Cosmos and the basic rights of all peoples. The prominent mention of God in this document is wholly appropriate, I believe; and I cannot conceive of a document discussing such basic rights and truths without mention of God. If there are laws that are universal, then only God can establish them and command respect for them. If all people are part of a great family, then only God can be its head. I borrowed heavily from great works of human heritage and science fiction. Such borrowings are intended as acts of homage rather than plagiarism. The Rainbow Declaration is also dialogue. It is a declaration to God that we recognize our place in the stars. It is a declaration to the government that we want to known the truth, even if it hurts, and that we want the extraterrestrials to be dealt with in a unified front with the other nations of Earth. Finally, it is a declaration to the extraterrestrials themselves that we are ready for an open and equal dialogue with them, that we expect the rights of all peoples to be respected, and that our expansion into the Cosmos will not be at their expense. In particular, it will put the Reticulians' Axis on notice that we view their conduct here as unacceptable. THE DECLARATION ANALYZED The Preamble to the Declaration is essentially a statement of who we are as a people and our concerns as people of how precious the Earth and its environment is to us. I call for an end to slaughter of the whales, because I want all victimization of intelligent beings on Earth to stop; and the first step is to end our victimization of these intelligent, friendly creatures of the sea, who were honored by special mention in Genesis as one of God's great creations. (Reference 31) The first article states that relation between humanity and other peoples of the Cosmos should be open and public. there should be no secret treaties between terrestrial and extraterrestrial powers. The document states that all of these relations should be handled through the General Secretary of the United Nations, actin in consultation with the Security council, and that the Security Council should ratify all agreements. This may strike some of you as a surrender of American sovereignty to the United Nations, which many of you have a poor opinion of. However, the United States sits on the Security Council as a permanent member and has veto power over anything it does not like. (Reference 32) Reportedly, in the present situation, the United States is acting as an ambassador to the Cosmos on humanity's behalf. Considering all that has reportedly transpired, I do not think this reflects well on us, and we should give up the job. The United Nations is a human organization and like humanity has many flaws and frailties, but the United States, in my opinion, would do better leading humanity as a loyal member of the United Nations than trying to pretend it speaks for humanity. Much of humanity would probably resent this deeply if they knew the United States were acting n this role. Article two begins by greeting our fellow peoples of the Cosmos and asking them to pay careful attention to the list of basic rights. It also says that we think all peoples are equal in God's sight and this may be a revolutionary concept to some in the Cosmos. Much of the rest of the document is self- explanatory, except for the part about genetic code. The reference to genetic code deserves special explanation. It was decided that this code must be protected because the genetic code of a people is an instruction book on how to live on their planet of Genesis and how to fight the many bacterial and viral infections found there. Therefore, to take a people's genetic code, outside of an open scientific exchange, is a hostile act and indicates an alien power is considering colonization of a planet with its own species. The final right is the right to assert and defend the rights listed. This is not a fairy tale document; it was written in recognition that some people, some nations, and some species, understand only force. Some in the Cosmos obviously believe that might makes right; this is not a new idea on Earth. Many have believed it in our history, but they were proved wrong. right makes might, friends, and I have written The Rainbow Declaration that its truth might strengthen you. Finally, the Rainbow Declaration closes with the statements: that all peoples ought to treat all other peoples as they themselves desire to be treated, and that humanity's highest goal is to join, as an equal partner, in the community of the peoples of the Cosmos. The Rainbow Declaration is as follows: THE RAINBOW DECLARATION We, the people of Earth, do make this solemn Rainbow Declaration. We Acknowledge our common childhood before the Creator, God, and Judge of all the Cosmos, both visible and invisible. We recognize the planet Earth as our Planet of Genesis, our home, and our hereditary treasure. We pledge to keep and preserve the Earth for all humanity for all generations. We call upon all humanity to treat one another with kindness, justice, and peace. We call upon all humanity to work together to ease the effects of hunger, disease, and overpopulation. Let there be no more killing of the whales, great and small, and let humanity, and the beauty of the Earth which is humanities. ARTICLE One In true Unity there is strength and general benefit; therefore, on all matters concerning extraterrestrial peoples we shall be as One. We recognize the office of the Secretary General of the United Nations, acting with the advice and consent of the Security Council, as the sole representative of humanity in all dealings with extraterrestrials. All relations and agreements will be open and public, and all agreements must be ratified by the Security Council to be in force. ARTICLE Two To our fellow peoples in the community of the Cosmos, we extend greetings; we recognize you as fellow children of the Creator of the Cosmos. Please give careful consideration to our declaration that it might serve as a basis for good relations. Section One We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all peoples are created equal and are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights. Section Two The right of Possession of their homeworld, their Planet of Genesis. No one shall take any portion of their world from them. Section Three The right of Sanctity of Planet of Genesis from alien intrusion or interference. No alien visitation shall occur until the people realize their Unity and achieve space travel of their own; this is the Prime Directive for all space-faring peoples. No alien spacecraft shall make close approach, or assume close orbit, or make any landing, except openly and by consent of global authority. Section Four The right of Possession of Genetic Code. No alien shall take a people's Genetic Code for any sue, except under reciprocal scientific exchange, negotiated openly by global authority. -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Part 11 Date: 14 Aug 91 15:00:00 GMT <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>> Section Five The right to permanent occupation of all bodies orbiting their Planet of Genesis of the sun of their Planet, which is their Star of Genesis, and permanent authority over the space containing these bodies. No alien bases may be established permanently on bodies or stations orbiting a Planet or Star of Genesis, but must be evacuated upon landing by the people of this Planet or Star, except there shall be negotiated a treaty granting temporary lease. Section Six The right of Freedom of Peaceful Navigation of Space shall be enjoyed by all peoples except where it conflicts with the Sanctity of Planet of Genesis. Section Seven The right of peoples to Assert and Defend the aforementioned rights and the right to give and receive aid consistent with These rights, when these rights shall be endangered. In case of dispute, the burden of proof-of-innocence shall fall on those who are alien, for it is the burden of the strong and advanced to help preserve the rights of the weak and less advanced. Final Article We pledge to uphold these rights and principals in all relations with all peoples we shall encounter, whether we be aliens or they in these encounters. We declare that all peoples should seek to treat all other peoples as they themselves would desire to be treated, and that all peoples of the Cosmos should seek peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with each other. We declare that it is our deepest desire that humanity might take its place as an honored and valuable member of the community of peoples of the Cosmos. OWNERSHIP OF THE RAINBOW DECLARATION The Rainbow Declaration was written by my hand, and I am very proud of it; however, it does not belong to me. It belongs to whomever embraces it and believes its truths and affirmations. The Declaration is, for this reason, not copyrighted and anyone may reproduce or sell copies of it with my blessings. It is my gift to humanity, because of humanity's faith and courage and strength. Perhaps a better declaration could be written; I encourage anyone to try, but I desire, rather, that the Rainbow Declaration will be embraced by you for now, so that humanity can move forward into its destiny. THE RAINBOW DECLARATION AS NECESSARY I believe the Rainbow Declaration, or some similar statement of principles, is vital to the future of humanity. Without such a document it will be harder for humanity to find the Way to its true destiny. The history of humanity is a history of great documents that state transcendent principles. These documents and declarations have served to light the Way of humanity and not only articulated the consensus of the people but helped form it. I therefore urge that the Rainbow Declaration or some similar declaration be endorsed by the major organizations of Ufology and from them to the Congress, and then to the United Nations, so that all of humanity might come together on these vital issues while we have time to discuss them objectively. Before the future can occur, it must be imagined. This is self-actualization. Let us imagine and proclaim for ourselves a future where humanity is a light to the Cosmos, rather than a blot upon it or a victim of it. Let it be that when other peoples of the Cosmos think of us they imagine a "Rainbow of Light." Let us look into the future. V ADVICE TO A YOUNG SPECIES You are a young vigorous species and new to the cosmic scene. You are strong and full of promise. Here is some advice for you. (1) Trust in God, Guts, and Guns to preserve you mong stars. (2) Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. (3) Do justly to all people and preserve the family of life on all worlds. (4) Never, never give in to bully boys with fancy toys. (5) Talk softly, but always carry a big stick. (6) A people becomes great because of what it loves -- not because of what it hates. (7) Boldly go where no one has gone before, and seek your kindred and your destiny among the stars. VI SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS I have tried to convey to you my understanding of the human situation and the destiny o humanity. I hope I have succeeded in causing you to think in new ways about the past, the present, and the future. I have spoken to you of the future and of an increase of knowledge. I have spoken of the day when Ufology as we know it, will pass away and will become exoanthropology, the outstretched hand of humanity to other peoples. For Ufology represents knowledge in part, and when knowledge that is whole comes, that which is in part must pass away. Exoanthropology will then become the forefront of humanity reaching out to other beings in the Cosmos. I have told you we are most likely involved in a dialogue with other people of the Cosmos. I think that if this is done, our long journey to reach humanity's destiny will begin on the right path and with the right guide. Life on Earth is sometimes harsh and brutal. Good does not survive or triumph on eArth merely because it exists. It must continually struggle. I see no reason to believe life in the Cosmos should be any different. I see on Earth the triumph of good, Goodliness, justice, and democracy, but only after a long and bitter struggle that sometimes looked hopeless. Earth is part of the Cosmos -- not an anomaly of it -- and good triumphs here. It must also triumph elsewhere. It is possible that Mars holds the same drama recorded there as we see on Earth, but this drama ended tragically there. If this is the case, let us never forget what Mars teaches us. Our participation in the dialogue of the Cosmos tells us the same message. I think there is much good in the Cosmos as well as evil; we know this from the reports of friendly, respectful contacts we have heard, and we know it from the good we see here on our own world and in our own people. This is how I know things will be well in the end. However, if we are to achieve this good, we must strive for it,k and we must declare our allegiance to it. We must be prepared for struggle to ensure the triumph of good. to see our true path, we must have open eyes and minds. We must be brave and force ourselves to comprehend what we do not want to comprehend, but which is true and must be accepted. Only then can our light truly shine in the Cosmos. I tell you again that based on my analyses, the Reticulians and their Axis allies mean to destroy humanity and possess this planet for themselves. The character, depth, and duration of their activities here can indicate nothing else. You must be prepared to use any means necessary to stop them in this intention: to surrender is death -- to fight them is life. I say further that if you are not prepared to accept this sad truth, even as a possibility, then you are not really ready to know the truth about the last forty years. I believe our government can no longer keep this Star Wars Secret any longer; to fight the Reticulians will require a level of resources and public sacrifice no secret program can ask. To gain victory over the Reticulians, mobilization, not secrecy, must become the government's first priority. The terrible truth must be let out to be confronted by the government and ourselves and all of Earth in the broad daylight. It is only then that this threat can be overcome. You have a role to play in this conflict. I have given you the Rainbow Declaration. It is a powerful weapon; use it. -- ParaNet(sm) Information Service - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: ParaNet(sm).Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ParaNet.Information.Service@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (sm) Subject: Rainbow Declaration, Conclusion Date: 14 Aug 91 15:00:00 GMT <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>> I believe, with God's help, humanity is strong enough, and brave enough, and clever enough, to triumph in this conflict which we did not begin. The Reticulians may be a Goliath technologically, but morally and ethically, they are pygmies; this is the root of their defeat. You may see in the Reticulians an ancient and brilliant race; I see a forlorn and empty people, fallen and corrupted from the state wherein they developed the technology they now possess, debasing themselves on the Earth, victimizing the helpless and crudely terrorizing the defenseless. Their actions reveal their weaknesses -- as it is said "what you are shouts so loud I cannot hear what you are saying." The fact that a nation should come to us from another star, riding in vessels of brilliant technology and yet commit unspeakable crimes here is shocking; yet it is quite consistent with our understanding of elemental evil from the ancient books. It is curious that Reticuli means "net," and the net is used throughout the Bible as a symbol of evil, misfortune, and also testing. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 9:11: "I returned and saw under the Sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happened to the all. "For a man knoweth not his time; as the fishes are taken in an evil net and as the birds that are caught in a snare; so are the sons of man snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them." We also see the net used as symbol of testing in Matthew 13:01 and in the last, gentle moment of John's record of Jesus, (Reference 33) as perhaps an allegory of a testing of the nations of Earth, which like the fish netted in the story number roughly 150. So, perhaps someone who has known this all would occur has left these mysterious symbols of this knowledge. So, let us seek the Way and the truth and the light, and oppose evil with all our might. The Reticulians and their Axis do not know the Way; if they did, they would not do the things they have done here. As it is written, "by their fruits you shall know them." (Reference 34) So comfort yourselves in God and in the brave heritage of Earth. Perhaps a great storm comes, but all is calm now, and after forty years of the Reticulians's attempts to dominate here, the Earth still stands, and humanity still stands, more brilliant and more powerful than ever before. So, let us be of good courage; if the Reticulians are here to destroy us, then they are obviously having a difficult time. For Sun Tzu instructs us: (Reference 35) "There fore I have heard of military operations that were clumsy, but swift, but I have never seen one that was skillful and lasted a long time. It is never beneficial to a nation to have a military operation continue a long time." If it is so, and I suspect it is, our government, rather than being a villain, is actually a hero in many ways as are many of our abductees, who have resisted the terror tactics of the Reticulians. It is mainly the government that has opposed the Reticulians for forty years. Let us remember also that if the Secret Star Wars scenario is true, then many brave men of our nation and many other nations have died fighting in a war that few even guessed existed, their loved ones never knowing why they died or how. This same government made up of men and women like ourselves and prone to the same mistakes, has struggled mightily to both hold the Reticulians' Axis at bay and at the same time carry on a dialogue with them to try and gain desperately needed knowledge of their technology. If this is so, then it is little wonder that the truth has been hidden and why those who knew it have kept this truth with such determined secrecy. For no one can keep a secret like a man who believes he holds truths that will devastate those whom he loves. So, let us not judge our government nor condemn them for the mistakes they may have made in this struggle. I have not walked in their shoes and neither have you, so let us stand with them. SUMMARY In summary, I have stressed three main points: (1) That it is the destiny of humanity to find its greatness and its kindred among the stars. (2) The humanity is prepared for this destiny because the Earth is a microcosm of the Cosmos and its people, with the dynamics between people in the Cosmos resembling the dynamics of nations on Earth. (3) That in order to find the Way to its destiny, humanity must make a document similar to the Rainbow Declaration its creed and guide. It is only in this way that humanity can find the right Way to its true destiny in the stars. Finally, trust in God, for He made the Cosmos both seen and unseen and all it contains. Surely He has helped us already against the dangers of the Cosmos. But He has also allowed these dangers to come upon us for His own mysterious reasons. Let us not disappoint him in our dealing with these dangers. God delights in courage and bravery. Be people of faith, like it is written, who "turned to fight the armies of the aliens. (Reference 36) Joyfully go forth to seek the wonders and challenges that lay beyond the present and which are our destiny. So humanity, beloved children of Earth, reach for the stars...boldly go...

Brandenburg, Ph.D. from numerous sources per the references indicated at the end of his paper. Contingent upon his study and research into this vitally important problem, this is his personal scenario, evaluation and predictions to the mystery behind the alien/entities conflict and their possible intentions for the people of the planet Earth. Some readers may consider that his entire scenario is nothing more then science fiction relating to the present and future. Historical events and the Bible support the past. Historians remind us that we should heed the past with a jaundice and educated eye, because experience gained and mistakes committed provide the wisdom for future decisions in our lives and that of our worldly constituents. We must never lose sight of the fact that yesterdays science fiction is tomorrows reality --Buck Rogers yesterday and NASA space travel today. As a physicist, Dr. Brandenburg, has presented his personal explanation and forecast for the future as it relates to the visitation of extraterrestrial entities to the planet Earth and the serious implications to mankind of their apparent intent. The theme of the 1990 symposium proceedings is "UFOs: The Impact of E.T. Contact Upon Society." This paper has been Dr. Brandenburg's scholarly attempt to address the theme as he views today and the subsequent tomorrows within the near future. Conservative Ufologists may attribute the majority of his predictions to science fiction, whereas thinking people and futurists, conceivably, will incorporate his recommendations into their future planning in order to sustain the freedoms and lifestyle that we have grown to appreciate. If his scenario as forecast is true and becomes a reality, all of us should be vitally concerned for our future and well being. Trying not to be repetitious, I must reiterate that the disclaimer on the inside cover of the proceedings applies to Dr. Brandenburg's paper, as well as to all other published papers. It is surprising to learn how few people read the disclaimer and automatically assume that John is speaking for the Mutual UFO Network. Dr. Brandenburg is speaking for himself on a very controversial issue that deserves to be exposed, heard and read. Walter H.
