INTRODUCTION No one can ever really escape their past. I was born into a family of early ecologists. When I reached seventeen years of age, I traveled to Alaska to go to college. This was about as far from South Georgia where I was born and raised as I could get. At 19 I quit college and took off on my own to figure out what life was really about, and in the process began investigating extra- terrestrial life coming to earth. I realized in those early days that most of humanities worldview was just too limited and confining for me and that anomalous phenomena provided windows and doorways into a much more expansive worldview. I could never have imagined in those early years, returning to my roots in old age, and in some strange way following in my parent’s footsteps in ways that they nor I could ever have imagined. It’s as if my life has been planned out in general terms long before I was born. Lately I am surprised to find myself thinking about extraterrestrial life more and more in ecological and evolutionary terms. The uninformed reader may deem it radical and premature to suppose that all human disciplines can be hugely accelerated by the study of extraterrestrial life. The uninformed will often ask, “How could other life have made it to our planet across the vast distances of space and time?” For the informed reader, however, it would seem both logical and rational that even before earthlings leave earth for the stars, we can study both natural and artificial evolutionary processes evolving across the universe by studying visitors to our planet. The uninformed blinded by ignorance see little value in extraterrestrial knowledge. They ask, “So what, what differences will it make to me even if extraterrestrials are proven to exist?” The informed on the other hand know that everything on earth will change profoundly and radically on both a personal and a collective level once the truth is widely known. Extraterrestrial understanding will not only tremendously advance all present earth human disciplines, but this understanding will create new disciplines far beyond anything we can now imagine. Extraterrestrial understanding will also rapidly undermine powerful global economic, religious and military interests and monopolies that are responsible for the UFO/ET cover-up and who struggle mightily to this day to suppress extraterrestrial understanding. This suppression of new truths is nothing new. Humanity has been plagued throughout history by powerful special interests interested in maintaining the status quo through the suppression of new understanding. These exopolitical essays and cases of extraterrestrial contact have built up over the past several years to a point where I have decided it would make sense to put them together into a book format. Hopefully this would make for better organized reading. The articles are still freely available and organized by title, in reverse order on my blog. These articles are available without restriction for publication, except that I ask that my name and blog address be on the articles so that people who enjoy my work can read more articles if they so desire. 5
