'''Michael Emin Salla''' {{lived|1958}} is a pseudoscholar and ufologist who created the branch of [[wingnuttery]] known as [[exopolitics]]. According to this fantasy, [[extraterrestrial]] intelligence has been involved in human affairs since at least the 1950s, and various treaties exist governing human/alien relations.

==Who?==
Salla was born in Melbourne, [[Australia]] on 25 September 1958. He obtained a bachelor's degree from Melbourne University in 1983 and a Ph.D. (Government Affairs) from Queensland University ten years later. After teaching appointments at various Oz institutions, he was appointed Assistant Professor in the Peace and Conflict Resolution Program, School of International Service, American University, Washington, D.C. in 1996. 

He authored a couple of dozen articles on conflict resolution topics in academic journals in the 1990s, then invented "exopolitics", moved to Kalapana, [[Hawaii]], and went into the popular book business, mostly self-published.

He is listed as a course instructor at the Exopolitics Institute along with journalist Paola Harris and former lawyer Manuel Lamiroy. The institute offers a so-called "Galactic Diplomacy Certificate", among other 
[[scam]]s
 "qualifications". The cost of that course is $1500 plus extras for seminar tuition — a trivial investment, really, when one considers what an asset such a certificate would be if applying for a job in, say, corporate management.<ref group=note>For some values of "asset".</ref>

Salla has also promoted the [[QAnon]] [[unified conspiracy theory]].<ref>[http://archive.ph/TLigz QAnon is US Military Intelligence that recruited Trump for President to prevent Coup D'etat] by Michael Salla (April 12, 2018) ''Expolitics'' (archived from 17 Apr 2018 17:07:36 UTC).</ref><ref>[http://archive.ph/t0jRo QAnon on the Rothschild, Saudi & Soros Puppet Masters behind the Deep State] by Michael Salla  (April 21, 2018) ''Exopolitics'' (archived from 27 May 2019 02:24:27 UTC).</ref><ref>[http://archive.ph/vxusz QAnon on the Rothschilds & Satanism – Trump’s Secret Alliance with Putin] by Michael Salla (April 21, 2018) ''Expolitics'' (archived from 23 Apr 2018 17:49:49 UTC).</ref>

{{cquote|"Galactic diplomacy" — which I use as a synonym for "exodiplomacy" — is not mere speculation from the pen of [[futurist]]s or [[science fiction]] writers. It is currently a highly classified national security program where a select group of authorized government, military and corporate officials are secretly meeting to discuss extraterrestrial life and technology. In some case, these officials are communicating directly with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations.|||Salla<ref name=yes>[http://archive.ph/6K4hB Galactic Diplomacy: Getting to Yes with ET] by Michael Salla (May 8, 2013) ''ExoPolitics'' (archived from 27 May 2019 06:38:02 UTC).</ref>}}

{{cquote|These policies are implemented in highly classified compartmentalized programs with strict need-to-know security provisions in place. ... [T]he vast majority of government, military and corporate officials are simply out of the loop on the extraterrestrial issue.|||Salla<ref name=yes/>}}

So if this is such a cosmic secret, how come some [[random]] loony in Hawaii knows about it?
