There's Here's Richard.

We're going to delve into a fascinating area tonight, the Galactic Federation.

Dr. Michael Salah is where this, he's a pioneer in the development of exopolitics, the author of,

what is it now, 12 books, and that includes Kennedy's last stand, Galactic Diplomacy.

He was an assistant professor and researcher in residence in the School of International Service at the American University from 1996 to 2004.

He has a PhD in government from the University of Queensland, Australia.

And he is also the founder of the Exopolitics Institute, a nonprofit organization that analyzes the political implications of the extraterrestrial presence.

Most recently, he's the author of Space Force, our Star Trek Future, which is the sixth book in his secret space program series.

Dr. Salah, welcome to the program. How are you?

I'm great. Thanks for having me on the show, Richard.

Let's just start with a basic overview when we're talking about the Galactic Federation.

What are we talking about here?

While we're talking about an organization, an association of extraterrestrial civilizations, which has a particular set of goals that is embraced by all members.

So this is analogous to how we get organizations on earth, like the United Nations, the European Union, where you have member states, accepting certain principles that they organize around.

And it would be illogical to think that extraterrestrial civilizations would not have something similar happening.

And of course, that's always been a issue that's been kind of like speculated about.

I mean, there have been people that talked about it going all the way back to 1952 when there was the first reference to a Galactic Federation by one of the early contacting.

Which was Daniel Fry, and he talked about a Galactic Federation then.

But what really got people talking about such an organization being relevant to our earth today is statements by a Professor Haynes shed in December of 2020 when he said that there was a Galactic Federation and it had made contact with the Trump administration.

And while the Trump administration was wanting to disclose the existence of this organization, according to Eshed, he said that this Galactic Federation said the time wasn't yet right that humanity still isn't ready because we don't have the sufficient level of technological sophistication to have this kind of like revealed to the planet.

Apparently this is why Space Force is being exhilarated, why they're really pushing the human presence into space because I think the agenda is that eventually you can't stop the revelation that there are extraterrestrial civilizations visiting our planet and that they are organized into organizations such as this Galactic Federation.
