»	The New Middle Ages of the US With every progressive milestone this nation achieves, such as the legalization of gay marriage in 2015, Christian fanaticism grows. Certainly, in retaliation against these commendable policies, they strangle liberties elsewhere, like reversing Roe v. Wade and ending the once-lauded constitutional right to abortion. If US citizens do not take an adamant stand against these changes, we may find ourselves no better than those living in Islamic theocracies. Louisiana citizens are the latest to befall such medieval decisions. On June 19, 2024 state Governor Jeff Landry passed a law mandating every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments. They must be shown prominently and clearly, and schools must have them in place by 2025. While Landry justifies this by saying the Commandments have 'historical significance,' this is a weak argument when confronted by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights - another document with historical significance yet is not required to be displayed in every classroom - which states we 'shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...' The law is just part of this religious trend with conservative lawmakers. Last month, Louisiana legislators also banned abortion, declaring abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances. Elsewhere, states like Texas and Florida passed laws allowing religious chaplains to provide mental health services or support for public school students. There are critics of these laws. Maitreya Rael, founder and leader of the Raelian Movement, advocates for freedom in all things, including religion. He spoke in 2006 about the Western world potentially sliding backward towards religious policies that favor discrimination and constrict peoples' rights. "...he western world must continue to accelerate its progressive reforms which allow it to completely destroy the last puritanical and conventional traces inherited from the oppressive Judeo-Christian traditions," he said that year. That was almost 20 years ago, and it seems like the US is struggling in this regard. In order to destroy these last traces, as Maitreya Rael says, we must start with the children. We must reconsider the values we expose to them. How much time and effort is taken teaching the names of military generals, brutal colonizers, and tyrannical kings compared to the names of the brilliant inventors of daily objects like toilets, laundry machines, dishwashers, and the automobile? How can we drill the details of the Magna Charta but omit the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? This is the document that should be in every classroom. If we are thoroughly examining our children's education, we must critique religion itself - monotheistic beliefs in particular. After the World Trade Centers were attacked in 2001, Maitreya Rael said, "Whether it is the Bible, the Gospel, or the Koran, all these sacred books spread hatred, intolerance, and encourage violence and barbarism." The very nature of monotheism and its traditions endorse discrimination and conflict - after all, if there is only One God and you believe a different one then one must be wrong and the other right. He continues in his speech, ...such texts must no longer be taught to children! Because the fact is that while the world cries over the victims of Manhattan, there are children who are receiving a religious education that will turn them into the terrorists of tomorrow who will in turn create new strife among different religious schools. To post the First Commandment in a classroom, which says, 'You shall have no other gods before me,' is to instill intolerance of those who believe in a different one! We must embrace tolerance and celebrate the differences among each other. However, we cannot impose them onto others, nor throw out decades of freedom and liberty, all of which are happening more and more in this country. We must teach our youth tolerance, respect, and fraternity for all other men and women, regardless of their ethnicity, culture, or religion. Rob Sansone

UFO wave in America: Extraterrestrials are always peaceful

Following the wave of media coverage on the UFOs shot down in North America, while nothing proves they were extraterrestrials, Raelians, once again, insist on the fact that all sightings that are extraterrestrial in origin are intelligent and peaceful, and abide by an absolute rule in the universe : people capable of escaping their planetary system are always peaceful.

"The notion of ‘undisclosed top secret’ on anything related to UFOs leaves the public skeptical and in the dark, thus maintaining a general confusion on the origin of these sightings of 'Chinese balloons’ or ‘extraterrestrial UFOs’. The time to reveal the truth has come and the Raelian Movement has been doing so for nearly half a century,” said Gyom Demba, spokesperson for the European Raelian Movement.

The spokesperson stresses that for an extraterrestrial civilization to fly over our skies implies it benefits from infinitely more advanced technology than that of humans on Earth, and that it is therefore able to detect danger and has the means necessary to avoid any weapon system that our governments and military are currently using.

"Even if it were extraterrestrial UFOs that had shown no hostility, the belligerent attitude of these leaders demonstrates the impossibility of establishing a direct and peaceful contact considering the the current state of our planet,” added Demba.

Let us recall that in 1973, Raël, spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement, was contacted by a very advanced extraterrestrial civilization that scientifically created all life forms on Earth. Since then, Raelians have been disseminating the message received by this civilization to humanity (see www.rael.org); this message includes the “cosmic law” aforementioned. “Only civilizations with a level of wisdom that exceeds their scientific achievements can avert self-destruction and reach a high level of interplanetary civilization,” Rael expressed in a recent press release.

Gyom Demba goes on to point out that humans on Earth are at precisely this critical juncture in their evolution and that it will self-destruct if aggression is left unchecked. “Reacting with violence to everything that is foreign only proves the ‘primitive’ nature of our civilization in the eyes of these intelligent beings from outer space. This is precisely the reason why they are not trying to establish a direct contact and why it is essential for us to put in place the necessary conditions for an official welcome, with all the guarantees attached to them,” specified the spokesperson.

It is in this sense that Raelians are campaigning worldwide in order to acquire the requested land to build an embassy for extraterrestrials with internationally-recognized extraterritoriality status. Since last year, the international project “An Embassy for Extraterrestrials” has been presented to mayors of major cities all over the world (www.elohimembassy.org).

“The time has come for us to understand that the UFO phenomenon is a reality, and that a peaceful civilization is visiting us regularly and wants to meet with us officially. It is time to consider the following truth: we are the product of an advanced civilization that has left traces of its passages in religious writings and archaeological remains. The evidence is there. It is time to get objective information, and to connect the dots between the UFO phenomenon and the revolutionary vision that this information triggers,” concluded Demba.
