"the militarization of space is a real threat to survival" -Noam Chomsky
A profound strategic transformation of the US Military-Industrial-Corporate-Information-Intelligence Complex is underway today that will radically re-design the enterprise into an ultra-imperialist force for global domination in the upcoming years and decades.
Billions and billions of US dollars are now being milked from the US taxpayers and funnelled into projects to build weapons in space (death star lasers, particle and microwave beam weapons, electromagnetic 'psychotronic' weapons arrays, tracking, communications and surveillance networks, targeting and delivery systems for nuclear warheads and weapons etc...)
Complete with real time digital spy satellites, anti-gravitic craft, orbiting space stations, bases on the Moon, Mars and the outer moons of Saturn, a grand scheme is underway to control, dominate and militarize the 'final frontier' of space.
Labelled, "full spectrum dominance" in the US Space Command's 'Vision for 2020' mission statement, their plan is to create a state of the art, cutting edge, space-based war fighting force for the Earth's global corporate and military elite. This new force is to be employed in order to defend themselves from the rising, angry, poor and destitute masses of the world who are demanding access to dwindling, scarce and finite natural resources on Earth.
A very small number of the planet's ultra-rich are preparing to defend themselves and their wealth (at all costs) against the majority of the planet's poor and desitute who are rightfully demanding their right to survive.
In addition, the domain of space is viewed today as open territory to be seized upon for eventual corporate profit, with projects designed to mine planetary bodies for scarce resources such as water, minerals, diamonds and gold etc...
In the year 2000, almost 140 nations voted for a resolution entitled the "Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space." It recognized "the common interest of all mankind in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes," reaffirming the will of all states that the exploration and use of outer space "shall be for peaceful purposes and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interest of all countries," and declared "that prevention of an arms race in outer space would avert a grave danger for international peace and security."
Only two nations declined to support this bill--the United States and Israel. Both abstained.
