Paul Hellyer Needs Some Busting

I waited close to three minutes before I decided to take a few shots at Paul Hellyer, the man mentioned in the prior blog entry.

The three minute lag is actually an impressive gap once you see how badly this guy is aching for a roasting. As listed in his Wikipedia entry, Paul was a relatively normal politician for most of his public life until he apparently went off the deep end over UFOs sometime in the late '60s. I think the '60s and its emergent drug culture, I'm thinking mushrooms of the psychedelic sort, had a bigger impact our buddy then the UFO craze of that period.

The opening paragraph is priceless:

On June 3, 1967 Hellyer flew in by helicopter to officially inaugurate an Unidentified flying object landing pad in St. Paul, Alberta. the town had built the landing pad as its Canadian Centennial celebration project, and as a symbol of keeping space free from human warfare. The sign beside the pad reads: "The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife. That future travel in space will be safe for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."

I wonder if St. Paul appears on the Intergalactic Google Map as Earth's designated UFO airport so aliens know where to go? I imagine it could be pretty diffucult for a traveller from the delta quadrant to find St. Paul, which I'm sure is a major metropolis, from orbit.

The line about maintaining the outer universe free from national wars and strife sounds like he wants to set up an inter galactic UN. He also must have access to an advanced spacecraft since he wants to instill his vision into the outer universe. That is pretty far considering humans have yet to travel passed the moon.
