Exopolitics: Mapping out the Public Policy Challenges associated with the cover up of Extraterrestrial Life

Polls consistently show over two thirds of the American public believe government agencies are covering up evidence of extraterrestrial life. As the public becomes convinced of a “Cosmic Watergate” attention shifts from an exclusive focus on the collection of empirical data to ‘prove’ the reality of extraterrestrial life, to studying the political implications of extraterrestrials visiting earth. This trend has been powerfully reinforced by the 2007 public release of the Walter Haut Affidavit that shows a cover up based on national security concerns from at least 1947. Exopolitics is an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing evidence of extraterrestrial life that helps reveal the key political actors, processes and institutions associated with the Cosmic Watergate. Among these processes is evidence that representatives from the US national security system met with and reached agreements with extraterrestrial visitors soon after the 1947 Roswell Crash. The future of exopolitics is likely to witness an increased focus on critical public policy issues such as the constitutional standing of secret agreements reached with extraterrestrials; the targeting of extraterrestrial vehicles through space weapons; the use of false flag operations to distract the public from disclosure of extraterrestrial life; the use of illicit funding mechanisms to support a 2^nd Manhattan Project comprising extraterrestrial related projects; and the suppression of new energy technologies for economic and geo-political purposes.
