Alfred Lambremont Webre, J.D., M.Ed. (Canada) is an author, futurist, lawyer (member of the District of Columbia Bar), peace advocate, environmental activist, space activist and is known as the founding father of exopolitics. Webre is a former Fulbright Scholar, a graduate of Yale University, Yale Law School (Yale Law School National Scholar), and of the University of Texas Counseling Program. He has taught economics at Yale University (Economics Department) and Civil Liberties at the University of Texas (Government Department).
Sometimes referred to as Jimmy Carter’s ‘UFO Guru’, Webre was Director of a proposed 1977 Carter White House ‘off planet culture’ communication project as futurist at Stanford Research Institute. President Jimmy Carter reported his own 1969 UFO encounter, and made a 1976 election campaign promise to create more transparency with the ‘UFO’ issue. This initiative was ended in the fall of 1977 because of the political climate at the time.
Today, Webre is the International Director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), promoting the vision of banning space weapons and transforming the permanent war economy into a peaceful and cooperative space exploration society focused on studying life in the universe.
He is a founder of the “No Weapons in Space Campaign” (NOWIS), a Canadian coalition to prevent the weaponization of space and he coordinates the “Campaign for Cooperation in Space”. He is a co-architect of the Space Preservation Act and the Space Preservation Treaty introduced to the U.S. Congress by Congressman Kucinich to ban space-based weapons.
Mr. Webre is a member of Lawyers Against War which has brought charges of war crimes against high officials of the USA in Germany. He also supports the 9-11 Independent Prosecutor Act which would seek to find accountability and justice from the Bush administration for what took place on 9-11.
His humanitarian interest in seeing this planet and its inhabitants surviving and living peacefully with others in this universe are summed up in his book Exopolitics: Politics, Government and Law In the Universe.
