Guests Paola Leopizzi Harris
Is an Italo-American photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena research. She is also a widely published free-lance writer, especially in Europe. She has studied extraterrestrial related phenomena since 1979 and is on personal terms with many of the leading researchers in the field. From 1980-1986 she assisted Dr. J. Allen Hynek with his UFO investigations and has interviewed many top military witnesses concerning their involvement in the government truth embargo.
In 1997, Ms. Harris met and interviewed Col. Philip Corso in Roswell, New Mexico and became apersonal friend and confidante. She was instrumental in having his book The Day After Roswell, for which she wrote the preface, translated into Italian. She consequently brought Colonel Corso to Italy for the editorial group Futuro, publisher of Il Giorno Dopo Roswell, and Corso was present for many TV appearances and two conferences. She returned to Roswell in the summer of 2003 for the American debut of her book, Connecting the Dots; Making Sense of the UFO Phenomenon.
Because of her international perspective on extraterrestrial related phenomena, Paola has consulted with many researchers about the best avenues for planetary disclosure with emphasis on the “big picture” and stressing the historical connection. She is a close friend of Monsignor Padre Corrado Balducci and assisted in filming the Italian witnesses, including the Monsignor, for the Disclosure Project for the May 9, 2001 press conference. She was instrumental in bringing to Italy Robert Dean, Dr. Steven Greer, Linda Moulton Howe, Dr. Richard Boylan, Russell Targ, Travis Walton, Derrell Sims, Helmut Lamner, Michael Lindemann, Nick Pope, Bill Hamilton, Ryan Wood, Carlos Diaz and Dr. John Mack. Her new non-profit association, Starworks Italia, will continue to bring speakers to Italy and promote disclosure and exo-political dialogue world-wide.
She has a regular column in Area 51 UFO Magazine, has written for Nexus, Australia, Notizario UFO and Dossier Alieni, among others publications.
Paola lives in Rome and Boulder, Colorado and has a Masters degree in Education. She teaches history and photojournalism and On-line classes in Exopolitics for Dr. Michael Salla’s Exopolitics Institute for which she is the International liaison director. http://www.paolaharris.com/home.htm
Guest Dr.Carol Sue Rosin The Founder for the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, ISCOS
World Peace Ambassador, International Association of Educators for World Peace, IAEWP (NGO, UN-ECOSOC)
Dr. Rosin is an educator, perhaps best known as the original political architect of the movement to stop the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and Anti-Satellite Weapons (ASATs). Carol became the first woman executive in the aerospace industry, a Corporate Manager at Fairchild Industries, a U.S. aerospace company, where she was also spokesperson for the late Dr. Wernher von Braun, the “father of rocketry.” With von Braun, Carol coordinated the award-winning “It’s Your Turn” educational program to motivate youth, women, and minorities in fields of science and technology as they could be applied to achieving world peace in a clean and safe environment for all. Their program won various awards including the Aviation Writers Award, Science Teachers Gold Medal, and others. Rosin helped set up the ATS-6, the Application Technology Satellite that was the largest of it’s time, in educational and medical training programs across the U.S. in Appalachia, the Rocky Mountains, and Alaska, and the first national and international two-way, audio-visual satellite TV educational and communication programs in over 20 countries, including 5,000 villages in India.
Upon leaving Fairchild after the death of von Braun, Carol became the National Chancellor of the International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP), founded by Dr. Charles Mercieca, in consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council. After bringing several experts to the U.N. Second Special Session of the Peaceful Uses and Exploration of Outer Space in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Rosin founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, ISCOS, in 1983. In that initial incarnation of ISCOS, the Board included Honorary Board Chairman Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Chairman of the Advisory Board Apollo Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and Advisory Board members that included the late Dr. Rashmi Mayur, the late Dr. Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller, the late Dr. Isaac Asimov, attorney Daniel Sheehan and many others.
Dr. Rosin was a witness in The Disclosure Project at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in May, 2001. She has appeared in numerous media productions, interviews, and publications, and on YouTube. She has served on technical and non-technical boards including the Advisory Board of The Exopolitics Institute, and among her awards was the United Societies in Space award for her 30 Years of Humanitarian Work for the Peaceful Uses of Space for Peace on Earth. Carol is an Advisor to the New Energy Movement.
Carol and ISCOS are well-known for having helped start the movement to prevent the weaponization of space, and for educating the public and decision makers about the unlimited benefits and opportunities from space R&D, exploration, and from living and working in space that will be made available once there is a ban on all space-based weapons. As an international consultant and speaker to countless audiences, Carol started the movements to “Stop Star Wars,” the "Leaky Umbrella Campaign" (first introduced on The Larry King Show on CNN), the "Campaign for Peace In Space," and the "Campaign to Save Outer Space” - which ultimately involved approximately 50 million people.
Her consulting and educational work has been focused on various aspects of space issues and strategic actions regarding technology and information applications that will lead to achieving peace and a clean and safe environment on Earth and in Space with benefits to all. Carol is dedicated to banning all space-based weapons and getting the dual use of technology and information formerly planned for weaponzing space to now be applied directly, not just as spin-offs from wars, to solving urgent and potential earthbound problems of today. She has spoken and consulted around the world regarding civil, commercial, entrepreneurial, and military world cooperation in space and about the incredible potential direct benefits for all World Citizens. These benefits include the feasible creation of a new kind of verifiable security system that is based on real cooperation in world sharing and on enhanced communication, observation, and education, on economic conversion, new ways to protect and preserve environments, new forms of energy, and new marketplace and economic stimulation. Soon the ways will be revealed that will solve urgent and potential problems of health, education, poverty, our environment, energy, aid in the amelioration of natural and man-made disasters. Humans can now transform the entire war industry (and obsolete mindset) into a space industry in a way that will literally put a lid on and end wars. Finally there is a Treaty initiated by Carol and friends that will lead to the achievement of real security with peace, an end to poverty, with healings and celebration, health and happiness. Carol brings forward a vision out of the current suffering and destruction taking place of our human into a higher consciousness, a new paradigm, and the truth regarding the recognition and messages of the wisdom of the Indigenous Cultures with the official acknowledgement of the existence and messages of Cosmic Cultures (none of which are hostile!) whose spirits will bring our hearts into the Universal Age of peace and love. (The Treaty is the key to open the doors…!)
Born in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, graduate of the University of Delaware, Carol received a Bachelor’s degree and then an Honorary Doctorate for her work in developing countries from Archbishop Solomon Gbadebo, of Orthodox College in Nigeria.
Dr. Rosin consults about how to transform the entire war industry and mindset including the war-based economy, feasibly and verifiably into a peaceful grand space industry on Earth and in Space, and about how we can rise to a higher frequency that is different our old ways of thinking, interpreting, perceiving, processing and behaving. Removing the intention to weaponize space is a necessary step in the process that can provide us all with a real non-space-based weapons security system and a stimulated economy based on world cooperation in space and new knowledge that will provide another way to create needed jobs and training programs for healings and prosperity. Carol consults about the latest tools of technology that can help clean up our toxic environments so we can have a real eco and HEART AND spirit planet with advanced education and communication techniques relevant to preserving our environment on earth and in space for interconnected sustainability.
Dr. Rosin has worked extensively internationally and is an official Advisor to the People’s Republic of China.
During the Cold War, Carol was invited to speak in many countries about the issue of peace in space for peace on earth. She met many times with people on all levels and in many areas of the Soviet Union in order to discuss possible cooperative joint space ventures and the vitally important ban on all space-based weapons. She returned to the U.S. with the first ever list of joint U.S./USSR space ventures on which the Soviets had agreed to work on…and eventually did. She initiated the first ever visit by nine U.S. Senators to the Soviet Union as well as the first private, encouraged the first joint meeting of astronauts with cosmonauts in the Soviet Union, and initiated the first ever off the record military-to-military meeting between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. She participated in several U.S./USSR citizen diplomat programs in order to encourage support for world cooperation in space and the ban of all space-based weapons. (Both China and Russia have announced they would sign an agreement to ban all space-based weapons.)
ISCOS, the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, founded by Dr. Rosin, produced the first legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman Joe Moakley and in the Senate by Senator Tom Harkin, to ban all space weapons. At the instigation of Dr. Rosin, a later bill, the Space Preservation Act, was introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich. And, this was the first time in history that U.S. legislation was accompanied by the introduction of a companion world Treaty, the Space Preservation Treaty, introduced by Congressman Kucinich and the Honorable Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense of Canada.
Her first book, SPACE CAREERS, was co-authored with the late Dr. Charles Sheffield. She created the first international aerospace telephone book for the International Astronautical Federation Congress.
Carol replaced the late futurist/author/scientist Dr. Isaac Asimov as Coordinator of the Space Commission for the World Government of World Citizens founded by Garry Davis. She was a five star General in the First Earth Battalion founded by Lt. Col. Jim Channon, (U.S. Army, ret.). Carol was a Space Action Coordinator and Educator in futurist/engineer Buckminister Fuller’s "The World Game."
Carol was a consultant to TRW on the MX missile, weather satellites, and the time/money/management of the space shuttle and developed various applications reports.
Carol has consulted to several companies and organizations including General Dynamics, IBM Europe, The National Space Institute, and many corporations, militaries (including the U.S. Space Command), intelligence organizations (including the CIA), government offices from the Congress to the White House, to countless NGOs, to high level officials, and grassroots around the globe. Carol has spoken at many meetings and conferences of civil, commercial, governmental, intelligence, militaries, to representatives of NASA and other international space agencies, and to groups concerned about a myriad of issues.
Carol created the Space Development Initiative (SDI), as the alternative that can replace the Space Defense Initiative (SDI). Carol was Space and Conversion Advisor to Presidential Candidate Reverend Jesse Jackson during his run for U.S. President. Reverend Jackson introduced this alternative SDI vision as part of his U.S. Presidential Campaign Platform. Carol presented the Space Development Initiative vision when she was keynote speaker at the U.S. California Democratic Convention as well as at several Republican and other political meetings. Carol also prepared this initiative for candidate Michael Dukakas, and talking points for President Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Rosin testified before both the Senate Armed Services and the House Ways and Means committees in the U.S. Congress, educating about the importance and benefits of banning ALL space-BASED weapons and how that will lead to the inevitable and easy transformation of the war industry into a space industry…without space-based weapons.
Carol worked with Congressman Les AuCoin to create legislation to prevent the development and testing of anti-satellite weapons (ASATs). She testified before the President's Commission on Space, emphasizing the inexorable link between commercial and military space ventures.
The company Celestis, Inc. afforded Dr. Rosin the opportunity to keep a promise to her friend, Dr. Timothy Leary, to launch his ashes into outer space. Accompanying the Pegasus rocket, to which the cremated remains were attached, from U.S. Vandenberg Air Force Base to Spain to the Canary Islands, the ashes were launched into space from a military base on the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. Also on board that initial launch flight were the ashes of other space luminaries and Carol’s friends including rocket scientist Dr. Kraft Ehricke, space physicist Dr. Gerard O’Neill, founder of the International Space University Todd Hawley, and the creator of the TV series Star Trek Gene Roddenberry, with 26 international people’s ashes in all. This was the first of its kind flight, and one example of a non-weapons, peaceful, international cooperative space commercial venture that involved the military industrial complex and igovernment(s).
Rosin has authored numerous articles and appeared in many media productions, publications, and interviews talking about replacing war projects with peaceful weapons-free Space Age related projects such as building space craft, habitats, hotels, hospitals, schools, labs, industries, farms, and elevators: space projects that will provide new jobs and training programs, new prosperity and profits, a new marketplace of products and services that can be applied directly to solving urgent Earth problems, as humans apply Space Age techniques to our environment, energy, healing, and education as we evolve into the universes in peace.
After several years living abroad, working from the local to the presidential level, Dr. Rosin has returned to the USA to work with most distinguished experts who have co-authored a milestone document of our time, the Outer Space Security and Development Treaty. This Treaty Project is a project of P.E.A.C.E. Inc., the Peace and Emergency Action Coalition for Earth, a 501-C-3 tax-empt organization founded by Dr. C.B. Scott Jones. Dr. Scott Jones, Astronaut Apollo Astronaut and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell; retired Navy Commander Will Miller; and retired Boeing executive Abe Krieger, with Dr. Carol Rosin co-authored this unique and timely Treaty, supported also by the Honorable Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense of Canada. The Treaty, translated into several languages, will hopefully be signed into law in 2012 by the first NINE presidents/prime ministers of countries required who will be historically honoured for taking this vitally important step.
