Seventh Annual SexEd Day: Raelians continue to advocate Comprehensive Sex Education from childhood, including masturbation/self-pleasuring information
GENEVA, Nov. 18, 2021 — According to a statement released today by the International Raelian Movement (IRM), on November 20—World Children's Day—Raelians worldwide will celebrate the 7th annual Sex Education Day and promote early sex education as recommended by experts in the 2009 UNESCO report.
"Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE), as defined in the report, is exactly what international spiritual leader, Rael, has been advocating and teaching for more than 45 years," explained Clemence Linard, Raelian Bishop and spokesperson for SexEd Day. "The goal is to give children and adolescents a sex education and tools that are adapted to their age and culture, and that emphasize pleasure, fulfillment and well-being in terms of sexual health as defined by the WHO," she added.
Children are particularly vulnerable when kept in the dark about their sexuality and early sex education, according to the Raelian philosophy, must also include acknowledging the importance of pleasure while removing guilt and shame associated with sexual pleasure.
“Those who oppose the sex education program that is based on science, are simply conditioned to sexual guilt by their medieval Christian upbringing. They say they are opposed to the so-called 'sexualization' of children… Wake up dinosaurs! Children are sexual from birth and even before! Sexuality education simply allows them to avoid developing guilt about their own sexuality,” Rael said in an earlier IRM statement.
Linard emphasized, “Comprehensive Sex Education teaches the youth that sexuality is a normal and healthy part of human life that can allow them to make more informed decisions later in life. This includes information on masturbation/self-pleasuring from childhood to simply understand how their body works and that self-stimulation is normal and healthy.”
In 2009, following pressure from Christian lobbyists, UNESCO censored one of their reports that talked about teaching masturbation from age 5. And for the past twelve years, Raelians have been campaigning to have this language reinstated in the UNESCO report, but no change yet. According to Linard, "It is absolutely outrageous for a scientific report to be censored as a consequence of backward religious pressures.”
“If we cannot work towards normalizing sex-positive messages about masturbation to reduce associated feelings of shame, guilt and fear, as well as improve the overall sexual health and literacy in children, this will undoubtedly negatively impact their physical and mental well-being in the long term,” she concluded.

The "Back to Kama" Organization celebrates the signing of Juneteenth as an official Holiday
Las Vegas, NV June 18, 2021 — On June 17, 2021, Juneteenth—the oldest known event commemorating the end of slavery in the US—was finally ratified into an official holiday, celebrating the emancipation of Africans who have been enslaved in the United States. And as we commemorate this special day, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the road travelled and the opportunities ahead.
As history has it, 400 years ago, the African continent was robbed of its sons and daughters who were turned into slaves to build Europe and the Americas. Centuries later, even though slavery was officially ended, the fate of the descendants of the freed slaves has not changed much.
In 2009, Rael—spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement (IRM)—launched the “Back to Kama” (BTK) project and asked Pr. Gbedia Dodo, a Raelian Bishop, to spearhead it.
The "Back to Kama" project (www.backtokama.org) is a voluntary migration campaign tasked to encourage well-educated, successful and affluent people of all races and religions—particularly those who are descendants of slaves—to voluntarily transfer the knowledge and wealth they have rightfully accumulated in the “Americas," and relocate all their businesses and operations to Kama. This is the most effective way to develop the mother land and to build wealth. BTK hopes to first attract celebrities, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and business people as the publicity generated by their initiatives will influence others to follow.
This year, as part of the special Juneteenth celebration, the BTK group is launching a new incentive to its project: encourage the direct participation of the Chiefs, Queens & Kings of Kama because they are the traditional authorities in the villages and regions. At the time of the slave trade, the countries and borders of today’s Kama did not exist, therefore, the descendants of former slaves should be returning back to the original regions, ethnic groups or villages of their displaced ancestors.
The Kings, Queens and Chiefs of Kama can play a monumental role, as they should be the ones primarily welcoming their long-lost descendants. In good Kama traditions, there will be a traditional ceremony to welcome them back in their ethnic group and introduce them to their long-lost family. This intronization ceremony has strong cultural meaning. It will facilitate the social integration of the returning sons and daughters, giving them a true sense of belonging to a family, a village, a people.
BTK wants to use the Juneteenth commemoration to praise the Kama Kings and Queens who have already welcomed many African Americans as sons or daughters of an ethnic group or a village, and to send an invitation to those who have not yet done so, to get involved.
As Pr. Dodo stated, "The BTK dream is to reverse the debilitating effect of the Kama Diaspora, in which millions of inhabitants left their homelands over the last few centuries, either involuntarily or voluntarily, to live in other parts of the world.

Disclosure on UFOs: Raelians say U.N. must discuss a protocol to welcome Extraterrestrials on Earth!
Las Vegas, June 24, 2021 — “The released UAP Task Force report is a great official addition to the thousands of UFO sightings reported around the world for the past decades, and even if the Pentagon isn’t acknowledging their extraterrestrial origins, it becomes impossible to ignore them,” said Daniel Turcotte—Raelian Guide and head of both The Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project(1) and The Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact(2). “It is time for the U.N. to discuss a protocol to welcome the human beings who have patiently and peacefully showed their presence to the public for decades now,” he added.
Recent news publications also report about China having its own UAP task force involving AI detection and analysis. “According to these recent publications about China’s involvements into UFO research, Chinese officials are intending to address UFOs at the United Nations,” explained Turcotte.
These publications are in line with the global awareness campaign organized by the International Raelian Movement since last April, seeking the support of the citizens worldwide to request their permanent representatives to the United Nations to support a diplomatic protocol for an Embassy for Extraterrestrials.
“Our task is to have the United Nations adopt an addendum to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations entitled ‘Optional Protocol concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials’,” Turcotte said.
The UN Secretary-General’s office has stated that the Secretary-General could open a debate on the issue if asked by a sufficient number of UN member states ambassadors. The International Raelian Movement has launched a worldwide campaign to make it happen.
“The International Raelian Movement also denounces any attempts made by some experts to use the UAP task force report as evidence of threat to national security and to our planet. Those who control these unidentified vehicles obviously want to be seen and have a technology that is far beyond our own, including our weapon’s technology. Our main teachings state that these human beings coming from another planet are the scientists who created all forms of life on Earth a long time ago, and who were mistaken for gods by our ancestors. They wish to be welcomed back to Earth now that we can understand that life can be created scientifically,” Turcotte continued.
1) The Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project was initiated by Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement whose two-fold mission is to disseminate the Message he received from this Extraterrestrial civilization, the Elohim, and to build an Embassy to welcome them officially and respectfully.
2) The Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact is an international network founded in 2020 with the goal of promoting the idea that it is essential to have an Optional Protocol Concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials and to provide authoritative advice and information to governments so they can assist their ambassadors, military, and policymakers understand the nature and significance of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, as well as promote the development of appropriate policies.

Disclosure on UFOs: Raelians hope for revealed data to be scrutinized with scientific rigor
Las Vegas, June 16, 2021 — Raelians await the UAP Task Force report to be released this month with reasoned enthusiasm.
The report, produced under the auspices of a Pentagon group, is said to review more than 120 ‘UFO incidents’ from the past 20 years. According to the New York Times previews published on June 3, the report’s conclusion “will state that these incidents weren’t caused by any US advanced technology, but it will also fail to provide evidence linking these incidents with extraterrestrial visitations.”
“Whatever the conclusions of this report will be, we rejoice to the idea that 120 additional UFO sightings will be made available for the public, and for scientists and experts alike, to review—sightings that have been well documented by Army and Navy officers who are trained to recognize foreign technologies, but yet cannot arrive at a conclusion as to their terrestrial origins,” said Brigitte Boisselier, PhD, spokesperson for the International Raelian Movement.
Whether these incidents are irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial visitations or man-made celestial phenomena should be decided by scientists who are best positioned to apply scientific rigor using the most cutting-edge tools to analyze data and to explain how these UAPs move, their trajectories, and their still-puzzling patterns. “We remain confident that their conclusions will eliminate all possible terrestrial origins and move the debate from ‘who’ to ‘why’,” stated Boisselier.
“The most revealing aspect of these sightings might not necessarily be the technology per se, but rather the display of maneuvers that suggest a high degree of playfulness and peaceful teasing of the Navy fighter pilots by whoever flies these crafts. Why such an alleged enemy would take so long to reveal itself over decades should be explained once and for all,” added Boisselier.
According to Raelians, a vast majority of these sightings are signs from an advanced civilization that has come to Earth thousands of years ago to scientifically engineer all life forms, including human beings ‘in their image’. “References to these scientists and their work can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures, but our primitive ancestors—mesmerized by their technology—mistook them for gods,” explained Boisselier.
For several decades, Rael—spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement—has predicted an increase in UFO sightings. “This influx,” Boisselier stated, “is meant to increase public awareness on extraterrestrial life and prepare the world for their official return at the Embassy we wish to build to welcome them.”
According to recent polls, more than 60% of people around the world have come to the understanding that there are other forms of life in the Universe. “About 40% of the public believes extraterrestrials are closely monitoring our planet and it’s refreshing to see this number increase steadily. We are confident that the upcoming UAP report will bring us closer to this reality, and to the truth,” concluded Boisselier.

The Raelian Movement reiterates its opposition to compulsory vaccination and associated discrimination and supports the decision of the Council of Europe
Geneva, April 5, 2021 — In a recent press release, the Raelian Movement affirmed its categorical opposition to compulsory vaccination, which is a clear violation of individual freedoms and the right to choose. "This therefore includes the discriminatory measures currently being debated concerning a 'vaccine passport', other individual rights aggressively abused and restricted by political decisions aimed at fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and not respecting the resolutions adopted by the Council of Europe*,” declared Princess Loona, spokesperson for the Raelian Movement in Europe.
Indeed, while some European countries are discussing possible discrimination based on a “vaccine passport,” similar to the “Green Pass” enforced in Israel, the Council of Europe has clearly spoken out against compulsory vaccination and against vaccination-based discrimination: [the assembly requests] (art. 7.5.2) “to use vaccination certificates only for the designated purpose of monitoring vaccine efficacy, potential side effects and adverse effects.” "This excludes de facto discriminatory inclinations linked to a 'vaccine passport'," underlined the spokesperson.
The Raelian Movement ardently defends Human rights and individual freedoms, which go hand in hand with accountability. “One of our core values is accountability. It can only exist outside of coercion from states under the pretext of security or health. It is up to individuals to decide for themselves what is good for them, especially when it comes to health and vaccines," highlighted Princess Loona.
To this purpose, last December, Raelians proposed an amendment to article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights relating to the right to life, liberty and security of persons so that it can be amended to "the right to life, liberty, security of persons and their right to take risks."
This would allow the inalienability of the body and the risks associated with it, to become legal rights.
“The Raelian Movement has always been in favor of Science and in favor of its enlightened acceptance by the population. It encourages all scientific progress, which also includes vaccines,” explained the spokesperson. "In these times of understandable and salutary mistrust of what comes from authorities, including scientists, our humanity lacks a scientific council within a planetary governance, truly independent, and responsible for popularizing the extraordinary advances of Human science and to enlighten the population on the beneficial opportunities that they represent for its future. It is only with complete knowledge of the facts that each individual will be able to freely accept or refuse recommendations to be vaccinated or any other measure aimed at fighting a pandemic,” she added.
Princess Loona went on to stress that more generally, the founding Messages of the Raelian Movement, transmitted to Rael by an extraterrestrial civilization with a technological advance of several millennia over ours, reserved a preponderant place for science to solve all of humanity's problems and lift the world population out of the suffering and obscurantism in which it is still mired (free to download at www.rael.org).
She added: "This means that science must be accepted by the population to better understand it, with better-informed populations, instead of it being used as a pretext for authoritarian political decisions taken by elected officials, little enlightened on the matter. Conflicting statements regarding masks, very disparate decisions between countries on how to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, political decisions regarding certain drugs even before the truth is clearly established are illustrations of this."
"The European Raelians invite citizens who are victims of vaccine discrimination to unite in groups that can take legal action at the European Court of Human Rights. They will win just cause since this recent Council of Europe protects them from discriminatory state abuses with regard to vaccines, vaccine obligations or other social pressures on the subject,” concluded Princess Loona.

Raelians contribute to making every day an lnternational Happiness Day
Las Vegas, March 18, 2021 — As the UN prepares to celebrate, ‘International Day of Happiness’ on March 20th—an annual event organized by the United Nations to promote the idea that feeling happy is a global human right—Raelians around the world will intensify their online ‘World Peace’ meditations and happiness teachings as a way to offset the ongoing fear that is currently plaguing the whole world, and to raise awareness of the importance of finding ways to create our own happiness.
Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated 'International Day of Happiness' to recognize the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world. “This recognition has been part of the Raelian teachings for the past 47 years and should indeed be celebrated,” explained Brigitte Boisselier, PhD, spokesperson of the Raelian Movement.
“Happiness is in our genetic code, we have been created to be happy,” said Rael—spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement. “Children are happy until they are subjected to a normative education that triggers the fight or flight response mechanisms leading up to an accumulation of mistrust, fear and competitive emotions, all contributing factors that make them forget about their true natural state of happiness," he added. “For this reason, the Happiness Academy teachings should be required for everyone.”
For 47 years, Rael has toured the world and offered Happiness Academy trainings and, in 2006, he has awarded the title of ‘Honorary Guide’ to his Majesty King Jigme Singye Wangchuck—then King of Bhutan—for his extraordinary actions and wise ruling favoring ‘Gross National Happiness’ over Gross National Product.
“Bhutan, thanks to its wonderful King, is the most beautiful example in the world of what this planet desperately needs because it is prioritizing a culture of ‘being’ rather than one of ‘having’—one that only creates wars, genocides, pollution and chaos through the illusive notion that happiness comes from the outside. A culture of ‘being’, on the other hand, creates peace and harmony, and this is what true happiness is because it comes from the inside,” Rael explained.
“Increasing the world’s net happiness is Rael’s priority,” added Boisselier. “We must continue to make each day a happiness celebration, while reminding people that happiness can be achieved instantly through meditation and the daily practice of mindfulness, gratitude and kindness,” she concluded.

Raelians urge U.N. Member States ambassadors to support the "Embassy for Extraterrestrials” project
New York, March 30th, 2021 — On 'ET Embassy Day'—each year slated to take place on the first Saturday of April—Raelians worldwide will, once again, intensify their awareness campaign and invite the public to join and contribute to this unique endeavor sponsored by the International Raelian Movement.
“Our goal is to have the United Nations adopt an addendum to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations entitled ‘Optional Protocol concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials,” explained Daniel Turcotte—Raelian Guide and Head of the International Raelian Movement Embassy Project.
“The UN Secretary-General’s office explained that the Secretary-General will open a debate on the issue only if asked by a sufficient number of UN member states ambassadors,” added Turcotte.
Turcotte also explained that Raelians are launching an international awareness campaign to motivate citizens of all countries to send an e-letter to their respective UN ambassador requesting that they present the case for the ‘Optional Protocol concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials’ to the UN General Assembly. The hope is to be compelling enough for them to hold an international diplomatic conference to discuss that optional protocol drafted and submitted by Raelians.
It is noteworthy that ‘ET Embassy Day’ also comes in the midst of a renewed interest in the UFO phenomenon with the ‘UFO Disclosure Report’ slated to be released this coming June by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF). The official confirmation made by the US Department of Defense last year, to the effect that some UFOs are likely to be of extraterrestrial origin, gives an even greater significance to the ET Embassy Day project.
According to recent polls conducted in many countries and in 15 different languages, more than 60% of the global population believes that life exists on other planets and they would welcome an official contact.
“As a response to the demands of their citizens regarding the ‘Optional Protocol Concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials’, we believe the UN General Assembly will, sooner or later, be left with no other alternative than to discuss the necessary diplomatic arrangements for humanity to welcome this extraterrestrial civilization to Earth,” Turcotte added. “And if the UN doesn’t take the lead, then the countries we are already in discussions with certainly will. We will happily work with these enlightened nations to identify the best possible location for the Embassy Project,” he concluded.

It is noteworthy that ‘ET Embassy Day’ also comes in the midst of a renewed interest in the UFO phenomenon with the ‘UFO Disclosure Report’ slated to be released this coming June by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF). The official confirmation made by the US Department of Defense last year, to the effect that some UFOs are likely to be of extraterrestrial origin, gives an even greater significance to the ET Embassy Day project.
According to recent polls conducted in many countries and in 15 different languages, more than 60% of the global population believes that life exists on other planets and they would welcome an official contact.
“As a response to the demands of their citizens regarding the ‘Optional Protocol Concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials’, we believe the UN General Assembly will, sooner or later, be left with no other alternative than to discuss the necessary diplomatic arrangements for humanity to welcome this extraterrestrial civilization to Earth,” Turcotte added. “And if the UN doesn’t take the lead, then the countries we are already in discussions with certainly will. We will happily work with these enlightened nations to identify the best possible location for the Embassy Project,” he concluded.

The International Raelian Movement creates the first Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact
Geneva, February 22, 2021 — In a recent statement, the Raelian Movement has confirmed its leading participation in the creation of an alliance for extraterrestrial diplomatic contact.
’’In order to build on the growing support for an optional protocol to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) concerning embassies for extraterrestrials, and with the ultimate objective of building such an embassy, we have created the Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact (AEDC),’’ stated Daniel Turcotte, Raelian Guide and leader of the ET Embassy Project for the Raelian Movement.
This Alliance (AEDC) is a non-profit international network comprised of politicians, diplomats, government officials and others who share the same goal and vision of welcoming extraterrestrial civilizations to establish diplomatic undertakings on our planet.
The Raelian Movement was created in 1974 with the twofold mission of informing the public about the extraterrestrial civilization that created all life on Earth, and building an Embassy to fulfill their wish to come back to Earth officially. “The return of those who created us will happen when certain conditions are met, the most important of which is to have an Embassy to welcome them,’’ explained Turcotte.
To reach this goal, the AEDC believes the first and most vital step is to have an agreed upon and international diplomatic framework for such relations to take place, preferably built around the Vienna Convention and the two existing optional protocols to that convention. “To this end, the AEDC and the Raelian Movement have jointly drafted a third optional protocol to the Vienna Convention—provisionally titled: ‘The Optional Protocol concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials’—and are promoting discussions around a potential amendment and ultimately adoption of this protocol,’’ Turcotte added.
According to Turcotte, the AEDC provides authoritative advice and information to governments in order to help their ambassadors, military and policymakers understand the nature and significance of a contact with extraterrestrial civilizations and to promote the development of appropriate policies. The Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact is currently headquartered in Montreal, Canada with continental offices in North America, Africa, Latin America, Middle East, Europe and Oceania.
“We believe that extraordinary times create extraordinary opportunities and building an embassy to welcome an extraterrestrial civilization is certainly a unique and ambitious project that will allow humanity to enter into the long prophesied Golden Age,” said Turcotte. “Imagine the impact of establishing diplomatic relations with an extraterrestrial civilization with thousands of years of scientific, technological and philosophical advance on us! We invite all government officials to express their support for the Optional Protocol concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials by contacting us and by following us on LinkedIn under, ‘Alliance for Extraterrestrial Diplomatic Contact’,’’ concluded Daniel Turcotte.

Raelians propose an amendment to Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Geneva, December 8, 2020 — December 10 will commemorate the 72nd anniversary of Human Rights Day, and on that day a delegation of Raelians will submit an official document to Elisabeth Tichy-Fisslberger—Chair of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva—that includes a proposal to amend Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). A copy of this document will also be sent to Michelle Bachelet—Head of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
In a recent address, Rael—spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement—expressed his outright opposition to mandatory vaccination, stating that it is unconscionable and unquestionably a breach on our individual freedom, and right to choose.
“Whether the vaccines are beneficial or not isn’t the issue,” explained Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, spokesperson of the Raelian Movement. “Raelians are in favor of all scientific advances, but they will also defend anyone’s right to refuse their use,” she added.
Raelians believe it is equally important to respect the right of those who do not wish to benefit from any scientific advancement even if this means putting their own lives on the line. They argue that this is what would be at the heart of any government-sponsored and -imposed mandatory medical treatment on its population, which would not only constitute a violation of individual rights and freedom, but also represent a human rights violation.
“The interests of the individual should always come before those of any government, and no government should be allowed to deprive any individual of their right to put their own lives at risk if they so choose,” she continued.
Raelians would like to see Article 3 (Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security) amended to “Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security, and Risk.” This would include Inalienability of the Body & Risking One’s Life is a Right.
Details are provided in the letter that will be delivered at the UN on December 10.

Raelians convince Nevada Tax Commission to grant sales tax exemption to non-traditional religions
LAS VEGAS, December 8 – By an overwhelming majority vote of the Nevada Tax Commission, the United States Raelian Movement (USRM) yesterday won its appeal for state sales tax exemption in Nevada, according to Thomas Kaenzig, Presiding Bishop of the United States Raelian Movement.
“The Nevada Department of Taxation initially declined to grant us sales tax exemption in 2010,” Kaenzig said. "Following our appeal to the Nevada Tax Commission that same year, we were finally granted that exemption, and it was renewed in 2015 without incident."
He said that in 2020, the state once again refused to grant sales tax exemption for the USRM.
“It was declined even though there hadn't been any changes in the law or the activities of the Raelian Movement in Nevada,” Kaenzig said. “But the state argued that because the USRM doesn't operate a church, it doesn't qualify for the tax exemption.”
Kaenzig said the ruling was clearly discriminatory toward smaller religions and others that don't operate a specific physical place of worship.
Once again, the USRM appealed the decision.
"Raelians understand that our creators, the Elohim, created all plants, animals and human beings,” he said. “That means the entire planet is our temple, and that we can worship the Elohim anywhere on Earth.”
While the 2010 appeal ruling was a 4-3 close decision by the Nevada Tax Commission, only one tax commissioner opposed the USRM sales tax exemption in yesterday’s ruling.
“This renewed our exemption, and this time it's very clear that the Nevada Tax Commission ruling is a great victory not only for the USRM but for all religions that don't operate a specific place of worship in Nevada,” Kaenzig said. "After all, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and the government cannot discriminate based on the size or nature of the religious practices."
Kaenzig said he hopes the new ruling "will inspire members of other religions in Nevada that haven’t been granted the exemption due to the very narrow definition of the Nevada statutes."
“Yesterday’s ruling in our favor is a clear signal that the Nevada Tax Commission recognizes the constitutional rights of non-traditional religions,” he said.
