I find it interesting that Ra / the Confederation even contacted Eisenhower in the first place. The way they word their response in 24.19, they were seeing if he was open to releasing the presence of the Confederation to the public:
Edit: Apparently that was not infringement, otherwise how did they even contact Eisenhower? Perhaps if he released the info to the public, it would be infringement from the Confederation because he was doing it? I mean, I highly doubt the Confederation would do something like that if it was going to infringe on the free will of millions/billions of people.
Edit 2: Upon further contemplation, I realized that would not be infringement by the confederation. Eisenhower would have been the one releasing the information to the public who could choose to disbelieve another 3D entity. If the Confederation came down in ships or started teleporting people around (etc etc) to prove they were "aliens", then they would have no choice to believe and that WOULD be infringement. I still don't quite understand why they weren't infringing upon Eisenhower's free will.. Perhaps because they took the form of 3D beings? I guess that must be it.
Quote:We, the Confederation, wished to see what would occur if this extremely positively oriented and simple congenial person with no significant distortions towards power happened across peaceful information and the possibilities which might append therefrom. We discovered that this entity did not feel that those under his care could deal with the concepts of other beings and other philosophies.
