Rael: ‘The billions wasted in Libya would be more useful in Japan!’
LAS VEGAS, Mar. 29 – In a statement released today, Rael, leader and founder of the International Raelian Movement, had harsh words for those making war in Libya.
“Shouldn’t a Nobel Peace Prize recipient like Obama have the honesty to return his prize after leading this attack on Libya and killing the civilians he claimed to protect?” he asked, adding that leaders of the world’s major powers “are once again proving that they’re afflicted with profound mental confusion.”
“While 300,000 homeless people desperately wait for relief in Japan and a nuclear power plant pollutes the entire planet with radiation that will cause millions of deaths, they’re using their technical means and their billions to bomb Libya,” he said. “If all the ships and funds turned into smoke by this illegal aggression against an independent state were to be used in Japan, it would, for the first time, point out some usefulness of the military forces and show real solidarity with the civilians who suffer.”
He added, “The presidents of countries in the United Nations Security Council that voted for intervention in Libya should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity in case nuclear disaster in Japan is not avoided. In that event, there would not be just a few thousand victims but millions of deaths to be expected, if not tens of millions. The United Nations would then have completely failed its mission of protecting civilian populations from real genocides. And the presidents of the countries making up the U.N. Security Council would forever carry the responsibility of having attacked a country at a time when they could have instead focused all their resources on Japan to neutralize the nuclear plant when it was still controllable.”
Rael said Western leaders aren’t being honest about why they are at war in Libya.
“The pretext of protecting civilian populations is totally fallacious,” he said. “Even if a brutal regime commits the crime of killing a few hundred revolutionaries, that doesn’t compare with the hundreds of thousands of civilians who need help in Japan. And that help wouldn’t threaten anyone’s sovereignty.”
Rael went on to explain why Libya was singled out for aggression by the West when it fails to help the suffering civilians of other countries.
“It’s clear that if China were to go through a new Tiananmen Square, with a few hundred or even a few thousand students killed, no one would lift a finger,” he said. “They intervene in Libya only because they’re sure of their overwhelming superiority there. So immense is their cowardice that they attack only the weak, under the pretext of protecting democracy.”
Rael said the pretext of protecting civilians with a no-fly zone is even more fallacious and hypocritical.
“Why isn’t there a no-fly zone over the Gaza Strip?” he asked. “There are civilian populations to protect there as well. Are they less important than the Libyan people? Or is it because Israel is untouchable even when it massacres civilians?”
Rael then issued a plea to those participating in the war.
“I ask all Western countries to evacuate all Western armed forces deployed in and around Libya and that they send them to help Japan re-house the homeless and solve the problems at the nuclear power plant. It’s the only way they could prove they’re really concerned about the fate of the world’s civilian populations and not about oil.”

Rael Names Norman Finkelstein 'Honorary Guide of Humanity'
LAS VEGAS, March 16 - Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, has just awarded Norman Finkelstein the title of "Honorary Guide of Humanity."
“Finkelstein is known for his sharp and well argued criticism against the State of Israel as well as Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people.” said Ricky Roehr, leader of the North American Raelian Movement. “Finkelstein's positions echo many of the tenets put forth by spiritual leader Rael, such as the politically incorrect idea that Israel exploits the memory of the Holocaust as a type of ideological weapon so that everyone is afraid to criticize Israel.”
Like Ilan Pappe, who also received the title of Honorary Guide of Humanity last week, Norman Finkelstein is an historian scholar who has been lambasted by his peers and by the Jewish community.
"We are happy to see more and more Jews who dare to denounce the ongoing Palestinian genocide organized by the state of Israel,” commented Leon Mellul, Grand Rabbi of the Raelian branch of Judaism in Israel. “Judaism has been hijacked by Zionism. Norman Finkelstein is a great voice of reason in the United States and worldwide, a voice for truth, justice and peace. Of all people, the Jews should remember how our race was treated by the Nazis, yet the Israeli government is doing the same thing to the Palestinians.”
He added, "The true Jew who follows the Torah knows that the State of Israel was not put into place according to Torah Law. Zionism has, for the last hundred years or so, replaced Judaism for far too many Jews. Norman's writings should be required reading for all Jews."
“For Raelians, Norman Finkelstein is a true humanitarian, and thus a true Guide for Humanity and a true Jew," Roehr concluded.

Rael: ‘The real revolution is to destroy every form of government.’
LAS VEGAS, March 17 - Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, commented in a recent speech about the numerous countries revolting against their governments, including Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya. But he said they aren’t going far enough.
“These are just little revolutions because they’re just exchanging their present governments for new ones,” he explained. “Those new ones will be the same because power is always bad. What we need is a free society. That’s the future of humanity.”
Rael said that according to the Messages given to him by the Elohim, the advanced civilization that created us, a system called geniocracy is used to guide the Elohim planet. But he said his efforts to share this important knowledge have met with skepticism, if not outright disapproval.
“When they hear about it, people usually think geniocracy is a political system in which geniuses have power over other people,” he said. “But this interpretation is totally stupid; there is no power on Elohim planet. Nobody has power there. The Elohim have elected geniuses to be their leaders, and these geniuses guide everybody by showing the way, not by dictating the way or by exercising any power.”
Rael explained that since there will be no need for governments in the future, there will be no governments at all.
“People call that anarchy, thinking that if there is no government and no power, there would be complete chaos, with everything upside down,” he said. “It’s not true!”
To show why such thinking is false, Rael referred to the social structure of ants, which have no governments. Nevertheless, everything works perfectly in ant societies, he said.
“In the social organization of ants, every ant works for the good of all,” he pointed out. “Each ant does what is best for everybody. In the ant society, there are no police or military. When there is no power, when there are no police and no laws, natural law comes into play and everybody wants to be good for everybody else.”
According to Rael, we actually don’t need governments, powers and police. We simply want to keep them.
“Some people have power and money and want more,” he explained. “They want everybody else to be slaves: to work, pay taxes, obey, and have no freedom. That’s what they want. But for themselves they want freedom, money and power. They want everything they want through corruption. And this is true everywhere. So the real revolution to come is a revolution that is not just changing the government but destroying any form of government.”
In the future, humanity won’t need any government at all, Rael emphasized.
“We don’t need power, because power destroys freedom, creates violence, creates poverty, creates hunger,” he said. “But geniocracy, yes; it’s good to have a group of geniuses, intelligent people thinking together about what kind of future humanity can have and presenting ideas that people can accept or not accept.”
He said that if all of humanity is “like a big ant hive,” then everybody should work for everybody else.
“Cooperation is the future of humanity, with everybody working for the good of everybody, and without the most terrible poisons of humanity: governments, police and laws,” Rael said, adding that when humanity has destroyed governments, police and laws, this planet will be a paradise.
“Paradism will be in place then,” he said. “And under paradism there will no longer be any money, as money is the fruit of power and government. In the future, and very soon, everyone will bring their money to public places and burn it all. We don’t need it if everybody works for the good of everybody else and everyone helps each other. The future of society is to do without money because money is only a poison given to you by the government.”
In conclusion, Rael reminded Raelians of their mission and named some of the steps needed to complete it.
“It is your mission to explain what a beautiful heaven we can create on this planet if we apply the teachings of our Creators, the Elohim,” he said. “Destroy all power; destroy all governments; destroy money; and create one unified planet.”
“These are just little revolutions because they’re just exchanging their present governments for new ones,” he explained. “Those new ones will be the same because power is always bad. What we need is a free society. That’s the future of humanity.”

Rael awards Ilan Pappe Honorary Guide title
LAS VEGAS, March 10 – Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, has awarded the title of Honorary Guide of Humanity to historian activist Ilan Pappe, a former faculty member of the University of Haifa who is now a member of the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.
Brigitte Boisselier, spokesperson of the International Raelian Movement, explained why Rael decided to confer the honor.
“Pappe’s views about the situation in Palestine are in full agreement with those expressed by Rael,” she said. “They include the solution of a one-Palestine state where Jewish and Palestinian people would live together peacefully; the need to grant Right to Return to Palestinians; asking for recognition by the international community of racist crimes committed by the state of Israel and the urge to boycott Israel. These are all subjects Rael has developed in speeches about Israel and they have been stated by Pappe as well.”
According to Boisselier, Rael commended Pappe’s denunciation of the ethnic cleansing organized by Israel and applauded the way he encourages other activists to denounce the racist ideology behind those actions “without fearing accusations of anti-Semitism.”
“The world has been manipulated far too long by the Jewish community,” Boisselier added. “It uses guilt and fear to paralyze the public so people don’t denounce the obvious genocide Israel is perpetrating. We need more Israeli citizens like Ilan Pappe to bring peace and justice to this part of the world. And, as Rael has called for, we need an Israeli Gandhi to peacefully put an end to the ongoing Israeli racism and colonialist insanity.”
Boisselier said that according to Raelian philosophy, humanity on Earth was created by human beings from another planet.
“They monitored our development and helped us through past millennia by sending messengers,” she explained. “These were the prophets, and they had the mission of guiding humanity until it reaches level of understanding that allows us to comprehend the fact that they created us. All prior prophets foretold the last prophet, Rael, who has a special role to play in Israel as the Messiah. He is to build the Third Temple there, an embassy to welcome the Elohim, our creators.”
But Israel has not yet agreed to cooperate, she said.
“There was only one reason to create the state of Israel,” Boisselier explained. “That reason is to gather around the Messiah people who have the mission of peacefully welcoming those who created us. But Israel is far from the peaceful and loving state announced in the scriptures. As Pappe has said, the present state of Israel is the worst thing that has happened to the Palestine region. Nevertheless, that region now contains many Raelian activists, who will never stop devoting their lives to the building of a peaceful, unified Palestine. They fully support the new Honorary Guide, Ilan Pappe.”

Rael awards Honorary Guide title to Northwestern University ‘Sex Professor’
LAS VEGAS, March 8 – In a statement released today Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, awarded Northwestern University psychology Professor Michael Bailey the title “Honorary Guide of Humanity”.
According to media reports, Bailey offered approximately 100 students an after-class opportunity to watch a couple give a live sex toy demonstration in his classroom.
Along with conferring the Honorary Guide title, Rael praised Bailey’s initiative and made several comments concerning the complaints and reprimands lodged against him.
“This [demonstration of a sex toy in Bailey’s classroom] is a great example of sex education that should happen everywhere in the world,” he said. “Such demonstrations should even be available for much younger students as soon as they reach puberty!”
In his statement, Rael also called for people to “send their support to this teacher who dares to go against all the dangerous sexual taboos prevailing in the United States.”
The Raelian Movement is well known for its hedonistic values and for promoting free sexuality as part of a healthy, harmonious life. Some examples:
• Rael promotes the practice of masturbation and has joined forces for a conference on the subject with feminist Betty Dobson.
• He created Rael’s Girls to help sex workers eliminate any guilt they may feel about their chosen livelihood.
• He launched the successful “GoTopLess Day,” on which hundreds of women publicly claim the right to go bare-chested as men do if they so choose.
• He launched the construction of the “Pleasure Hospital” in Africa, where women who suffered female genital mutilation can receive repair surgery for free.
“All these actions are aimed at counterbalancing the highly puritanical views on sexuality that religions of the past have imposed on us,” explained Ricky Roehr, leader of the Raelian Movement in North America. “Professor Bailey’s contribution is most welcomed in the United States, which is paralyzed by its Puritanism.”
U.S. Raelians will soon be conducting their annual seminar, the “Happiness Academy,” in Las Vegas. The weeklong event emphasizes and teaches Raelian values of happiness, pleasure, respect for differences and a committed respect for absolute nonviolence.
“While we do not organize sexual activity at our seminars, we always encourage attendees to experiment and enjoy themselves fully, so long as it is always done between consenting adults and with respect for others,” said Ricky Roehr.
Along with bestowing the Honorary Guide award, Rael requested that Bailey receive a special invitation to the Las Vegas Happiness Academy, where he would find “a very supportive audience.”

‘God is a Myth!’ Raelian Movement launches atheistic campaign
LAS VEGAS, Feb 28 – The International Raelian Movement (www.rael.org) has just launched the next phase of its atheistic campaign by purchasing very high profile billboard space on the busy I-15 southbound freeway in Las Vegas. Each month for the next six months, hundreds of thousands of people will see the huge “GOD IS A MYTH” message while commuting or visiting the city.
Ricky Roehr, leader for the North American Raelian Movement, explained why the Raelians plan to make this huge public statement that will possibly upset so many Christians and members of other religious faiths.
“If you drive the freeway between Vegas and Los Angeles, you’ll see several signs warning drivers to follow the Bible or else face eternal hell,” he said. “Those signs are designed to make viewers feel fear and guilt. We want to counterbalance that fear by letting them know there is no God or Devil. There’s no need to live in fear. We should enjoy our precious lives to the fullest while of course giving love all around us. Surely that’s a message even Christians recognize as one that Jesus taught. But, whether the source is the Bible, the Koran, or Greek or Roman mythology, all gods are myths, just as there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny etc. What there are, however, are human beings who were advanced scientists who created all forms of life, known as the Elohim. You can read about them in the oldest versions of the Bible, and the oldest versions are always the less polluted versions.”
Roehr said the Raelian explanation about the extraterrestrial origin of life has become even more popular in the United States after the History Channel’s “Ancient Astronauts” series presented evidence of this advanced race’s interaction with us thousands of years ago.
“Making people live in fear not only greatly diminishes the quality of life; it facilitates intolerance and hate,” Roehr said. “But religious leaders know that fearful masses are much easier to control. Humanity is paying a huge penalty for all this fear because when people live in fear, all higher thinking like love and compassion shuts down. That’s why violence continues on Earth, and this is why we cannot stay silent like most atheists do when we see god believers maintaining people in fear and promoting their scriptures full of hatred and encouraging so many crimes.”
Raelians are conducting their annual Happiness Academy (seminar) in Las Vegas from March 27 to April 2 at the Alexis Park Hotel. Raelian seminars are known for teaching tools for attaining happiness and for promoting hedonistic values, science and art.
“The God of the Koran is mythical to Christians and the Gods of Hinduism are myths to monotheists,” Roehr said. “Whether he’s a Jew, a Muslim or a Christian, one man’s true religion is always another man’s myth. We Raelians just deny the existence of one more God than they do. Yet there’s a very important difference between most atheists and the Raelians: We’re still Creationists! The Raelian Movement is an atheistic religion that is preparing humanity to welcome back its true creators, the Elohim, without fear or guilt.”

'Behavioural reframing' cannot happen without our consent says the Raelian Movement
LONDON, Feb 18 – The Tory Cabinet Office 'Behavioural Insight Team' was set up a few months ago to devise psychological initiatives to manipulate people’s behaviour. According to a report by the Independent on January 4th, “Shame, vanity, laziness and the desire to fit in are all to be used as tools of Government policy by ministers acting on the advice of a new psychology unit in Whitehall”. It was also reported that the secretive cell is tasked with "dreaming up psychological tricks to alter our behaviour" - and to do this on a massive scale in order to 'nudge' the public into politically acceptable "Social Norms".
Glenn Carter west end theatre star and president of the UK Raelian Movement commented: "It is a shame to witness our government new attempt to control our thoughts and opinions without much protest.”
Glenn Carter states that this is by no means the first time that governments have behaved in this way nor will it be the last. “Manipulation techniques have been utilised throughout history by all governments in all countries. Here in the UK attempts to manipulate our thoughts have been commonplace. Most recently using misinformation or uncorroborated scare tactics. For example: stating that 'Human therapeutic' and 'Human reproductive cloning' are in some way a different process, which they are not!
The Recent Blair governments 'dodgy dossier' scandal successfully guided mass public opinion to support the armed intervention in Iraq. The more recent Brown Governments misinformation and alarmist tactics increased taxes to fight a mythical man-made global temperature increase known as (global warming) being another.”
“The real issue that we, as individuals, must face is this: For these mind control attempts to work, we as individuals must be willing participants.” explains Glenn Carter. “ 'Brain washing' itself is a myth. Not only do experts show that it doesn't work, but one can see it if one looks through history where totalitarian regimes such as the soviet union and china have attempted to stamp out religion over decades and failed miserably.”
The Raelian philosophy states that each individual is responsible for what is happening to him or her in every circumstance. During his 'Happiness Academy' teachings, Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, emphasizes that responsibility, encouraging the participants to make their own choice, being aware of the many influences around and denouncing the negative ones whenever possible.
“We as individuals must challenge ourselves every moment” adds Glen Carter, “asking the difficult questions of ourselves. We must take personal responsibility. Each decision we make has an implication. We must take the time to consider the implications that will inevitably follow any apathy or willing corroboration we make and hence decide carefully who we allow to manipulate us. I consider it as part of the Raelian mission to inform the UK public that it has a choice and that manipulation is not inevitable."
Glenn Carter west end theatre star and president of the UK Raelian Movement commented: "It is a shame to witness our government new attempt to control our thoughts and opinions without much protest.”
Glenn Carter states that this is by no means the first time that governments have behaved in this way nor will it be the last. “Manipulation techniques have been utilised throughout history by all governments in all countries. Here in the UK attempts to manipulate our thoughts have been commonplace. Most recently using misinformation or uncorroborated scare tactics. For example: stating that 'Human therapeutic' and 'Human reproductive cloning' are in some way a different process, which they are not!
The Recent Blair governments 'dodgy dossier' scandal successfully guided mass public opinion to support the armed intervention in Iraq. The more recent Brown Governments misinformation and alarmist tactics increased taxes to fight a mythical man-made global temperature increase known as (global warming) being another.”
“The real issue that we, as individuals, must face is this: For these mind control attempts to work, we as individuals must be willing participants.” explains Glenn Carter. “ 'Brain washing' itself is a myth. Not only do experts show that it doesn't work, but one can see it if one looks through history where totalitarian regimes such as the soviet union and china have attempted to stamp out religion over decades and failed miserably.”

Rael: Elimination of suits and ties is a step in the right direction!
LAS VEGAS, Feb 18 – Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, applauded the result of a recent poll of British workers in which rigid dress codes were shown to be on the way out, with only one out of 10 employees wearing a suit daily and only 18 percent wearing a tie. A similar trend has been observed in most Western countries.
“This is a wonderful trend that was long overdue,” Rael said in a statement released today. “Finally, and thankfully, the ugliest men’s fashion in history is disappearing. This elimination is not only important for beauty, but also has deep implications in terms of conformism and conservatism, both of which are thankfully disappearing as well.”
Rael has suffered repeated criticism about his outfit, which he designed himself to encourage people to wear what they want rather than what the “fashionably correct” are telling them to wear.
He added, “Although this first step [of eliminating suits, ties and rigid dress codes] is small, let’s hope that original and ‘crazy’ clothing shapes will return, since they’ve been here for the majority of human history. They will also help create a more peaceful and tolerant society, one where differences are not only accepted but promoted.
Rael explained that the promotion of differences is “the only way to avoid a terrible bureaucratic normalization imposed by centralized governments trying to impose more control over the population.”
A rigid suit-and-necktie dress code is a telltale indicator of a Western militant society, according to Rael. But he added that conformity of dress is also imposed in childhood.
“It starts with uniforms in schools, which should be forbidden worldwide because uniforms homogenize children, killing their originality and creativity,” he said. “It’s time to completely destroy the militaristic heritage of our ancestors, who almost destroyed the world.”
Rael has long encouraged the abandonment of suit and tie in ex-colonized countries. As a spiritual leader, he sees the use of the “Western uniform” by African or Asian people as submission to ex-colonial authorities.
“Already in Africa, more and more people are abandoning European dress for a return to colorful, traditional African attire,” he said. “And the trend is the same in Asia, where kimonos have always been the most beautiful dresses in the world, making European three-piece suits look ridiculous. Finally, thanks to the younger generation and its attraction to Cosplay outfits, the European suit for men, the ugliest fashion of all time, is definitely on its way out!”
Spiritual leader Rael gives several week long seminars each year – at least one on each continent – in which he teaches participants to be themselves.
“Do everything you can to stay away from ‘good taste,’ which is just a form of normalization that denies other people the right to have different tastes, or just to be different,” Rael explained.
Rael’s next seminar, the Raelian Happiness Academy, will be held in Las Vegas from March 27th to April 3rd. To register, visit www.rael.org and go to “seminars.”

Rael supports Chinese government position on Zimbabwe
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 15 – According to published news reports, Yang Jiechi, China’s foreign minister, has asked for the lifting of sanctions against Zimbabwe. He recently visited Harare, Zimbabwe, and said that no country has a right to dictate the internal affairs of another nation.
In a statement released today, Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement, applauded and commented on the minister’s statement.
“China is absolutely right”, he said. He added, “All African nations should nationalize all companies and lands belonging to ex-colonialist countries or their descendants, and they should do this without paying any compensation. On the contrary, even after nationalization, the ex-colonialist countries should still pay huge reparations to cover the centuries of exploiting and pillaging African resources.”
Rael has long advocated the need for African nations to truly decolonize and choose their own way of development.
He has expressed his support to Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe several times in the past, saying he is “one of the few world leaders who dare practice a true decolonization,” as Rael has advocated in his numerous addresses to the people of Africa.
Three years ago, Rael encouraged Mugabe to nationalize all goods of the Christian churches in Zimbabwe. He also suggested that Mugabe take the lead in being the first to apostatize and return to the African religions of his country’s martyred ancestors.
Following Zimbabwe’s isolation from the West in 2002, Mugabe favored collaboration with Asian countries, especially China. Such collaboration with countries with non-colonial pasts rather than with former colonial powers was another of Rael’s main recommendations to ex-colonized countries. Developing such ties would reject any lingering form of submission to former colonial authorities. In this way, they could peacefully but forcefully take back what was taken from them.

Rael to Swiss banks: ‘Freeze tyrants’ funds while they’re still in power!’
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14 – Upon hearing that the Swiss government has frozen any assets in its banks belonging to former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak or his family, Rael commented on what he called “this additional proof of the cowardice and opportunistic position taken by Switzerland, which waits until tyrants are deposed to freeze their assets.”
“If Switzerland were to be such a promoter of freedom and democracy, it should freeze the assets of tyrants and their relatives while they are still in power, not after they have been toppled by popular revolutions,” he said in a statement released this morning. “It’s not too late for Switzerland to freeze the assets of all remaining dictators if it wants to show the world it’s an honest protector of democracy and freedom.”
Accordingly, Rael called for Switzerland to immediately freeze the assets of the king of Saudi Arabia and those of the Burmese generals while they’re still in power.
“Doing this would prove the Swiss are not hypocrites and that no tyrant can continue to hide money he steals from the people in Switzerland,” he said. But he added, “Will Switzerland do it? I doubt it. As usual, the Swiss will wait until the tyrants are deposed.”
Rael recommended that the people of Saudi Arabia and Burma remember this behavior by boycotting any financial relations with Switzerland once they become free.
“Tunisia and Egypt should start such a boycott immediately,” Rael said. “Many other countries can provide financial services similar to or even better than those provided by Switzerland, and without accepting money from tyrants and Nazis like Switzerland did. Out of respect for the memory of ancestors robbed by Nazis, whose money was used for a very long time for the profit of Swiss banks, no Jew should keep any money in Switzerland.”
