Light at the End of the Tunnel: A Survival Plan for the Human Species Paperback – April 14, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
This book reflects the mature judgment of an author with broad experience in and out of public life. It sets out in stark and unvarnished terms most of the world's major problems. The Human Species is hell bent for extinction unless we change our attitudes and actions with an urgency appropriate to impending disaster.
Paul Hellyer suggests that we have about ten years to wean ourselves from the oil economy and profoundly regrets that the Copenhagen Conference reflected little progress in that direction. The whole atmosphere was one that reminded him of Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned. World leaders simply have to do better! The book outlines the three monumental changes required to accommodate the miracle.
First, the book claims that exotic energy sources already exist. They have been developed by the U.S. "shadow government" at the massive underground "black operation" installations in Nevada and Arizona using technology borrowed from visitors from other planets. Yet they remain secret for the alleged benefit of the privileged few.
Second, the money has to be found to subsidize poor nations and facilitate major changes. This can be accomplished by a fundamental re-working of the monetary and banking system. Bank leverages must be dramatically reduced and the percentage of virtual money they create as debt strictly limited so that governments can gain the financial flexibility to finance the transition to sustainability.
Finally it will be necessary for all countries, races, faiths and colors to drop their antagonisms and work together in common purpose to save the heritage they have in common.
-- - -- "Paul Hellyer's story is an important contribution to the literature of modern western civilization. His experience in government, his interest in exopolitics and the issues of sustainability of civilization are significant areas of current discourse."

- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2013This book is written by an ex-government person - Paul Hellyer is the ex-Defense Minister of Canada - who is deeply religious as well as being highly spiritual (these two traits don't always go hand-in-hand). He covers a number of quite controversial subjects including the reality of extraterrestrial contact on Earth and the major government cover-ups that have been associated with it for many years, the shadow government who is responsible for most of this cover-up, and the inability of Earth humans to live peacefully on this planet. He discusses the role played by religion, and most especially Fundamentalist Religion as being a catalyst behind many of these cultural conflicts.
To quote from this book: God's kingdom will not come until we, as Earthlings, start loving our neighbors as ourselves, and treating them accordingly. This is the essence of the Gospel that Jesus taught, but the problem is that this has been ignored for far too long, even by those of us who count ourselves among his followers.
Light At the End of the Tunnel is an attempt by a very brave and wise man to help people to understand just what is going on here with all the lies, deceptions and intolerance, and what needs to be done to turn things around into something more positive for humanity and Planet Earth. Governments need to start being more open and honest about the reality of the ET presence, and Fundamentalists need to stop demonizing the ETs, who are, after all, "God's children" just as much as humans of Earth, and are ready and willing to offer their help once they are officially accepted as being "real".

- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013To sum up this book Briefly, this is an extremely informative book, and it is very rare when a Former Minister of Defense speaks out concerning the Largest Cover-Up in the last 150 years. The Right Honorable Paul Hellyer was a Defense Minister in Canada, with INSIDE information. As a Defense Minister he had access to knowledge that a general lay person would Not have. He is the first person of Cabinet Rank in the G8 group of countries to state that UFO's are as Real as the airplanes that fly over our heads and that Vistors that are very similar to us have indeed been visting Earth for thousands of years and are very Real. He speaks about Free Energy, banking, our economic situations, and Paul states: "Failure to disclose a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels," he writes, "is worse than a crime against humanity. It's a crime against creation and the Creator." We can not be that arrogant or ignorant to think that we are the only Biological creatures in this universe. Where there are billions of stars and millions of planets.
Paul Hellyer and witnesses from 10 other countries, attended the Citizen Hearings from April 29 to May 3, 2013 in Washington, DC in front of former members of the US Congress speaking about Disclosure to ALL Citizens, regarding Alien visitors, free energy, the World Bank (the enforcers of Globalization). You can watch these videos on line - Citizen Hearings Disclosure 2013. Paul Hellyer is an extremely Intelligent man. This book is a Must Read, and the information is definitely verifable.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2010Unlike our Asian counterparts, the West often fails to accord our wise elders the honor they deserve - the status they have earned by devoting their lives to love of, and service to humankind. Paul Hellyer of Canada is one such man. Born in 1923, he is very much a hero of the 20th century; yet he continues his vigorous momentum into the new century, preparing youth for the hopes and challenges that lie ahead.
As former Minister of Defense for Canada and cabinet member during both the Pearson and Trudeau administrations, Hellyer is certain that technology currently exists to replace the ecologically-destructive world oil economy. He argues that, while difficult and financially threatening to "big oil," a gradual transition can, and must be implemented post haste, warning that ten years is just about all the time we have left before the ecological damage to our planet becomes irreversible.
"Failure to disclose a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels," he writes, "is worse than a crime against humanity. It's a crime against creation and the Creator."
His book speaks volumes about crimes against planet Earth. He investigates them from many perspectives, laying out charges against perpetrators, and in his wisdom, offers rehabilitation plans to assure today's youth that they will inherit a world redeemed from near destruction.
Minister Hellyer reminds his American readers of the long-standing economic dirty tricks, the incessant meddling in the internal affairs of other nations and myriads of injustices carried out by the United States government under the banner of democracy, freedom and, ironically, peace - also that, because of U.S. news media collusion, such outrages rarely reach the eyes and ears of the average Yankee.
"If President George W. Bush wanted to find the real axis of evil," writes Hellyer, "he had only look at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) and the World Trade Organization."
Calling the IMF and World Bank the enforcers of globalization, he explains how they "beat the bejeebers out of any country that won't accept the Washington Consensus and open its borders to rape and pillage by international banks and multinational corporations. The Enforcers work hand in glove with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (DOT) and Wall Street, for which the DOT is an agent."
In the very first chapters, author Hellyer, plunges into a heretofore taboo subject. He speaks openly about how our world has been visited extensively for six decades by entities of advanced intelligence from other worlds. He stands bravely alone as the world's highest-ranking government official to shine a beam of light on this ET presence that has lurked in the shadows of the tabloid world for far too long.
Over 500 atmospheric nuclear weapon detonations occurred between 1945 and 1960. Airborne radioactive dust from the Nevada testing site fell on most of America's heartland, the Rocky Mountain States and southern portions of Alberta and Ontario. Full extent of the damage to human, animal and plant life may never be known.
The intense flash produced by the detonation of those bombs traveled millions of kilometers across outer space, crossing the trade routes of our galaxy. Inadvertently, said flashes became warning signals to technologically-advanced space travelers that we human beings are now so smart we know how to annihilate all life on our planet including us. Any federation of planets - and there must be at least one in our sector of the universe - upon receiving our unintended clarion call would be duty-bound to come investigate just what "the naked apes on the blue planet" are up to now.
Without saying so directly, Mister Hellyer hints that since their arrival en masse around 1947, our Visitors have been studying us for any number of possible reasons, hopefully one is to ascertain if a generous portion of humanity may be worthy of salvation because of our ability to manifest the virtue called `love' - which in all likelihood is universal, sans boundaries of time, space and dimensions.
The book is subtitled "A Survival Plan for the Human Species" because Hellyer indentifies the greatest barriers to love and compassion currently existing on earth. He seeks to bring us to the realization that such barriers can and must be broken but only if we collectively begin work now to right our wrongs.
The barriers are:
1. Absence of love because of our differences in race, religion, philosophy, world view and political ideology. By example, in Chapter 2, he focuses on the existing animosities in he Holy Land between the descendants of Abraham (the Jews and Arabs) and those who claim to be followers of the Prince of Peace and Prophet of Love, Jesus.
2. Fundamentalist adherence to sacred books that have been incorrectly copied and translated - one example being the Gospel of John in the Christian New Testament, the interpretation of which has justified anti-Jewish persecution over the past two millennia - culminating with the greatest of all persecutions, genocide from 1939 through 1945. During the Holocaust, over six million Jewish men, woman and children were heartlessly murdered.
3. The universal worship of Mammon (money) in lieu of practicing tzadik v'khesed (righteousness and loving-kindness); to wit, bowing down before the altar of wealth, avarice, and greed combined with a willingness to perform any heinous act, including murder, to acquire more riches and power.
Hellyer paraphrases the words of the Christ, "You cannot love God and Mammon. You cannot serve two masters. You will love one and hate the other."
The Worshipers of Mammon, says the author, are the godless of all nationalities, races and ethnicities who exalt personal wealth and power above all else - men and women sans conscience, blinded to seeing nothing beyond their own immediate financial gratification. As a world-class economist for over 50 years, Minister Hellyer, having participated in many policy-making conferences at national and international levels, now advocates a non-violent overthrow of the current world system of economics because it has failed the citizenry time and again.
Hellyer knows that adherents to the cult of Mammon intentionally repress the poor nations of the world, allowing them no opportunity to develop due to ruthless economic tactics that drain the natural resources of such countries with no payment or reward to the poor citizen, only the ruling elite.
He boldly points out that our current world economy is dominated primarily by the governing powers of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the multinational corporate elite... for these puppeteers there is no such word as `love.' Keeping the current, highly flawed economic system afloat necessitates periodic recessions and depressions and continual warfare - conditions that may not harm the rich and powerful but create massive devastation on we, the so-called little people, as one British Petroleum spokesman recently described us.
It's a diabolical system, Hellyer writes, that penalizes compassion and exalts greed. Who suffers the most? Answer: the meek, the peacemakers, the honest; and average families who request nothing more than fair treatment and a hopeful tomorrow for their children.
Also in Chapter 9, "Ending the World Financial Crisis," Mister Hellyer explains in layman's terms the economic errors leading up to the panic of 2008. If nothing else, this book is well worth the price for its information regarding global economics.
Such are the problems of the human race delineated in "Light at the End of the Tunnel." Where Hellyer differs from mere prophets of doom, is that he offers up a step by step "Political Agenda" in Chapter 10 of his book that, if activated, would set in motion a rapid reversal of the errors and evils of the status quo.
In the final analysis, Paul Hellyer's greatest differentiation from other authors on current affairs is that he asks us to imagine how we must be perceived by our extraterrestrial visitors. Observing our violent nature, do they regard us as a little backwater species not much smarter than our hairy cousins who swing from vine to vine in the lush green rain forests? Hellyer points out that the ET's have been studying us for at least 63 years, possibly hundreds or thousands. No doubt they find us entertaining - something akin to a galactic soap opera. We are pathetic, funny, maddening, silly, disgusting and, we can only hope that --in that name of all that is decent - they find some of us worthy of perpetuation.
Other reviewers may comment, "I didn't read all of that in Paul Hellyer's `Light at the End of the Tunnel.'"
As a concerned world citizen, lagging just one generation behind the former Defense Minister, I say, "Ah, but you failed to read between the lines."

GromatronReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 20175.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opener.
Having seen Paul Hellyer talking on TV about his direct dealings with those who are aware of the government and shadow government infiltration of the West, and the continued suppression/clover-up of the fact that humanity is not alone (well dahh), I had to read this book and see just how much he has found out. Whilst I feel people project so much of their own interpretation onto the facts, the fact is, as Paul points out, that in light of the over-whelming evidence over the last 60 years, even if 1% of the claims are real then we're most certainly not alone. He makes a good point at articulating this, whilst I felt his spiritual and personal religious views (and subsequent interpretations), were hard to stomach. When you subtract the mystical woo-woo from the facts, what remains is a concerning and continued cover-up by the West and the powerful elite (corporations included). We already know this is happening from the Wikileaks revelations, so when you add to this a history of lies, deception and intentional mis-information, what we have is the biggest story of all time - the realisation we're not unique in the cosmos and moreover, whatever the intentions of the many races that know of our existence, they're up to something. I couldn't put this book down, although, I totally skipped the first chapter about his religious journey through the middle-east. Read it, you won't be disappointed.
