I'd say:
I heed the ADVICE of the HOPI ELDERS with whom I lived for a time on the mesas of northern Arizona:
Hopi Elder wisdom - the place is here the time is now. Use your will.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.

I'd tell them that cannabis is a super-food and a medicine. That for the past 70+ years the power of this herb has been with-held from the people by their own governments due to corporate interest and that it's one of the biggest crimes against humanity, globally that I have witnessed in my life time.

Probably, heard many accounts that can say what you've said, and I'd tend to agree even with my limited exp with cannabis, as a med at least - thanks for the response @rebeccaryan appreciate it :)

I'd start by introducing myself. I'd then ramble on about how I did not have a speech prepared. Something funny would pop into my head, so I'd say that. People would laugh. I'd listen closely for the most unique laugh, point at them and do my best impression of the sound they make with the hopes of making that person laugh hysterically. Laughter is contagious, people would start laughing at the sound of laughter alone. Everyone will go crazy, my five minutes will be up, I will say thank you and drop the mic.

Great article.
I would discuss the dire need for people to do their own research. In this age of information, the truth is right at your fingertips. Anyone can go online and become their own investigative journalist. The more people that are out there trying to find the truth the better. We need a massive number of investigative journalists to be investigating the high crimes of our own Governments and MNC's and central banks. The media has been bought and is silent on too many matters and we have all this information readily available, but only a few real researchers looking.
Peace @KevinWong up-voted.

"You get up and howl about America and Democracy, there is no America, there is no Democracy. The world is a college of corporations inexpertly determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business."
Because of such beliefs we are constantly separated by class, education, color, culture etc.
Bigotry is nothing more than a disease continually propagated by the 1% (those in power) via media outlets and the like to make us believe that the few are greater than the many.
They manipulate our perception of the world to make us feel trapped in a perpetual state of economic slavery, leading us to believe that there is no freedom from this bondage because they don't believe us entitled to bounties freely given by this beautiful planet.
Most importantly they know that keeping us trapped in a constant state of fight or flight by showcasing our fears, worries and stresses will make it exceedingly more difficult for us to unite under one banner and demand that we to share equally in the fruits of our labors.
They are considerably blinded by their opulence and avarice that even those who think they're helping the people are in fact part of the biggest problem.
The injustices we face will never know salvation till the day we all stand united, regardless of the aforementioned and obvious differences amongst us that matter not and declare that we are all one and the same and as such we all deserve equality.

I'd tell the world what the aliens told me, humans have a long way to go before we could be considered civilised. If we fail to become civilised, our destruction is assured and until we attain civilisation, we would not be welcomed into the arms of the intergalactic federation. I asked what would qualify humans as civilised? They replied, for they were speaking as one, that we already knew the answer. All intelligent life instinctively knew the answer.

We do have a long way to go. The word civilisation now is more to signify attempt to build, and it's still not the word to describe our condition. Thanks for the response @benjojo

I'd tell us about the amazing world we could create with already existing tech. Bitshares, SolarCity, AppStores, Steem, BitNation. With these few things, we could drastically change the cultural landscape toward increased autonomy and personal human freedom.

I would say that I am not a good teacher, so they will have to answer all the questions to themselves! And that everyone can understand what they want, if they simply try to.
And then, I would say something like "Jesus has supported Manchester United, because he was socialists", just to see how world can handle discussion about 3 worst topics in a one sentence.

I'd probably freak out knowing I had the world's media attention focused on me. I'd probably freeze and stare awkwardly, unblinking down the barrel of a camera. I'd probably try to open my mouth and nothing would come out. I'd probably open my mouth and shit would pour out. I'd probably have some fantastic ideas of what to say thrashing through my brain. I'd probably keep them to myself, not selfishly but through utter stage fright, like Peter Brady when he went on that quiz show... I'd probably regret it afterwards, the missed opportunity. I'd probably replay it over and over again and again in my mind, forming all the things I wanted to say but couldn't.
