»	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

10th Annual ET Embassy Day Marks a Milestone in Preparing for Extraterrestrials’ Return

New York, March 28, 2024 — As the world faces unprecedented challenges and questions the motives behind the institutions driving conflicts for profit, the need for systemic change is more apparent than ever. Amidst this backdrop, the spotlight turns to the obscured truths about our universe, notably the ongoing visits from extraterrestrial civilizations and the existence of UFOs, information hidden from us and only sparingly disclosed by governmental bodies.

The International Raelian Movement, under the guidance of spiritual leader and founder, Maitreya Rael, announces the 10th Annual ET Embassy Day, set to take place on April 6, 2024. This globally observed day aims to advance the groundbreaking project of establishing an Embassy to formally welcome our extraterrestrial creators back to Earth. This year’s ET Embassy Day, marking a decade of dedication to this cause, promises to unveil significant progress in the journey toward realizing what is poised to become the most consequential project in human history.

Daniel Turcotte, the project director, highlights the increased interest and development in the Embassy project. "This year has been pivotal, with our efforts extending to discussions with foreign affairs and tourism ministers, politicians, and influential figures across various countries. The economic and societal benefits of hosting the Extraterrestrial Embassy are immense, sparking unprecedented enthusiasm among nations eager to be part of this historic endeavor,” Turcotte explained.

Despite the strides made, the project stands at a critical juncture — the diplomatic phase. "The search is on for a host country willing to champion an Alternative Protocol to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and organize an international conference to discuss this new drafted protocol," Turcotte emphasized, noting the promising developments from recent governmental dialogues.

The increasing public and scientific acknowledgment of UFO phenomena, coupled with a surge in extraterrestrial craft sightings, signals a deliberate effort by the occupants to prepare humanity for imminent official contact. The ET Embassy Day seeks to raise awareness about this impending reality and to galvanize global support for welcoming our creators.

As the International Raelian Movement celebrates its 50th anniversary, the focus remains steadfast on its mission to inform humanity about the extraterrestrials' return. Establishing an Extraterrestrial Embassy represents a monumental step toward this goal, offering an unparalleled opportunity for diplomatic, scientific, and cultural advancements.
