Mindful words from the old classic 1950s sci fi movie.... "The Day The Earth Stood Still" of an alien Ambassador of Peace named Klaatu, coming to Earth to present a message of Peace.... a message he announces near the end of the film. This was a stunner of a movie about positive aliens coming to Earth, during a time when most movies about Aliens in the 1950s were of evil invading aliens bent on conquering the planet. This was a rare film of aliens NOT invading the Earth in 1951. A very rare thing to see in movies then. I would not be surprised if the Galactic Federation was behind the scenes and inspired the writers to create this great movie...
From Ambassador Klaatu:
"I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle.
(pay close attention to the next line.... these words were written in 1951.... and it speaks of an "organization" ... hmmm, sounds very much like the Galactic Federation ....)
"We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression." (I see the GF in these
words....)
The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots.
Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace.
In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us.
This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk.
The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.
Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you. "
KLAATU, from the 1951 movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still"
(we choose our reality and destiny. The ETs can only help and guide us to a wiser decision and path for Earth....)

Sounds good BUT the Galactic Federation could not have been behind the making of this movie. The beginnings of the GF, although they didn't start using the name at that time, was in 1984. They have offices in Virginia and they don't have any flying saucers circling earth.
