Need for a Declaration of Human Sovereignty?

Dear All,

I was sort of torn on where to start this thread, but I think preparation is just as good a place as any. You could call it "Exopolitical preparation" if you like.

Barring specific, sometimes radically different details, let us assume for a moment that we HAVE been manipulated as a species for millenia by extraterrestrial forces, are suffering from that same manipulation today, and face a possibly unpleasant future - at least for a while - because of it. Then let us assume that there are indeed benevolent ETs who have merely observed, and maybe there are those willing to intervene on our behalf. Good, bad, neutral - I am a little bothered by the "zoo" perspective offered by Bob Dean and others (which, by the way, I feel is one of the best Camelot interviews out there - for those who have ears, Dean offers clues in his interview that can be researched, and perhaps more to the point, verified). No matter our origins, no matter our state of affairs as a species today, we have reached a point of consciousness - in science and spirit - that mandates a universal recognition of our sovereignty as a species. If there is a galactic community in which we can participate, we should participate as equals - not slaves, not wards.

Do we need a "Universal Declaration of the Rights of Humankind," and should it be applied equally to friends and foes alike?
