Masters of Space: Deep Space Strategy
in the Age of Trump
counterpunch by Karl Grossman d. 25/6 - 2020
...As for the PAROS treaty, “the idea” has been “to close the door to the barn before the horse gets out.” But the U.S. during “both Republican and Democrat administrations” have taken the position: “There are no weapons in space—we don’t need a new treaty.”
“Of course, this is disingenuous and this blocking posture is largely motivated by the aerospace industry which views space as a vast new market for profit,” said Gagnon. “The nuclear industry similarly views space as we see the current drive to ‘privatize’ space so wealthy resource extraction corporations can ‘mine the sky.’ They are planning nuclear-powered mining colonies on celestial bodies and nuclear-powered rocket engines providing heavy lift capability to get to Mars and beyond.”
He said, “The aerospace industry has long maintained that an arms race in space, ‘Star Wars,’ would be the largest industrial project in human history. Some years back the aerospace publication, ‘Space News,’ ran an editorial stating that the industry needed to come up with a ‘dedicated funding source’ to pay for all its desired projects in space.” It said, Gagnon related, that the aerospace corporations were “sending their vast team of lobbyists to Washington to defund the ‘entitlement programs’ that officially are Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and what is left of the social safety net. The industry is like a pirate—grabbing the national treasure chest so they can be the ‘Masters of Space.’”...

Webinar: War in Space - Weaponising the Final Frontier
Yorkshire CND d. 19/4 - 2020
Se Webinar
Webinar bringing together key activists from the US and the UK to discuss the latest news and views on ‘star wars’, missile defence, space weapons, and the on-going campaign to prevent a war in space.
It’s almost 40 years since Ronald Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ speech proposed the ‘Strategic Defense Initiative’ – a ground, air and space -based missile defence systems to prevent a missile strike on the US. Now space is congested with around 2,000 satellites being used by business and the military to extend their global reach. New launches take place almost every day. Elon Musk’s Space X company is setting up a global 5G system from space and has been granted permission to launch another 12,000, and perhaps as many as 30,000, satellites in low Earth orbit in the next few years. There are plans to set up bases on Mars and the Moon and to mine the asteroids for rare metals and minerals. Space has become big business and those business interests are concerned about the safety of their investments.
Therefore, an increasing number of states are now following the US and forming their own “Space Force”. The US, Russia, China and India have already tested anti-satellite weapons. Military space planes and hyper-sonic missiles are being developed for early deployment. Satellites are already integral components of armed drone strikes, global surveillance and eavesdropping, dual use missile defence-offence systems and much more.
One accident or mistake resulting in the loss of a key space component could initiate a nuclear war.
What can we do to keep the heavens clear of weapons?
Trump Signs Executive Order to Mine the Moon
Youtube d. 10/4 - 2020 af Global Network
Trump signed an executive order to allow corporations and citizens, aka billionaires, to begin mining the moon. In addition, they want to use nuclear reactors to fuel spacecraft so they can mine Mars in the future. Corporations already dominate Earth, and it isn't enough for them. They want more. So, now they want to dominate Outer Space.

Dont militarize the heavens
By Karl Grossman
space4peace d. 5/1 2020
Pesident Donald Trump has signed the National Defense
Authorization Act for 2020 that establishes the creation
of a Space Force as the sixth branch of the U.S. armed
forces — despite the landmark The Outer Space Treaty of
1967, which designated space as a global commons to be
used for peaceful purposes.
The treaty was put together by the United States, the
former Soviet Union and Britain, and since been signed
by most nations on Earth. Craig Eisendrath, as a U.S.
State Department officer involved in its creation, has
said that “we sought to de-weaponize space before it got
weaponized…to keep war out of space.”
It prohibits the placement of weapons of mass
destruction in space. Although the Trump administration
and U.S. military have said a Space Force is necessary
because of Russia and China moving into space
militarily, Russia, China and Canada have lead for
decades in pushing for an expansion of the treaty.
They’ve advocated for the UN’s Prevention of an Arms
Race in Outer Space resolution, which would affirm a ban
on placing weapons in space. The United States has
opposed the PAROS treaty and has effectively vetoed it
at the UN.
At the defense authorization act signing Dec. 20, Trump
said forming a Space Force marked “a big moment.” He
said: “Space. Going to be a lot of things happening in
space. Because space is the world’s newest warfighting
domain.” ...

Darth Trump: From Space Force to
Star Wars
counter punch d. 22/1 - 2019
af Karl Grossman
Beginning to fill in his declaration of last year about
turning space into a war zone and establishing a U.S.
Space Force, President Trump was at the Pentagon last
week promoting a plan titled “Missile Defense Review.”
As The New York Times said in its headline on the
scheme:: “Plans Evoke 1983 ‘Star Wars’ Program.” Bruce
Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network Against
Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space, called it
“provocative and destabilizing and basically insane.”
As Trump stated at the Pentagon on January 17: “We will
recognize that space is a new war-fighting domain with
the Space Force leading the way. My upcoming budget will
invest in a space-based missile defense layer
technology. It’s ultimately going to be a very, very big
part of our defense and obviously of our offense.”
The new United States space military plan comes despite
the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 that designates space as
a global commons to be used for peaceful purposes. The
U.S., the United Kingdom and then Soviet Union worked
together in assembling the treaty. It has been ratified
or signed by 123 nations. The release of the 100-page
“Missile Defense Review” follows the Trump announcement,
also at the Pentagon, in June, that he is moving to
establish a U.S. Space Force as a sixth branch of the
U.S. armed forces. He stated then: “It is not enough to
merely have an American presence in space, we must have
American dominance in space.”

Israel will be testing their Arrow 3 weapons system,
among other things, on Kodiak Island, Alaska in the
summer of 2018. The Arrow 3 weapons system was funded
and developed by both Israel and the United States. All
amenities and resources will be provided for the Israeli
military free of charge, paid for by American taxpayers.
Kodiak has a long history of pollution from the Pentagon

Til sommer opsættes det første våben i rummet.
The Moscow Times Friday,
Apr. 9, 2004
By Chris Floyd
This summer, the human race will pass a sinister
milestone. It will come quietly, creeping like a thief
in the night -- a starless night, the sky blanked by a
minatory shadow. For while the world's attention will be
turned this July toward the bloody carnage erupting in
Iraq after the illusory turnover of "sovereignty" by the
still-entrenched occupation force, and riveted by the
flood of sewage pouring from the White House as the
presidential campaign reaches critical mass, the United
States will break a long-held taboo and launch the first
weapon into the global commons of outer space.
It's a small step, a
test satellite called the "Near Field Infrared
Experiment," set for launch -- by a Minotaur missile, no
less -- this summer from a NASA base in Virginia. NFIRE
is part of the Bush Regime's multibillion-dollar,
crony-feeding boondoggle known as "missile defense." The
satellite's primary mission is to gather data on the
exhaust fumes of rockets in space, information that will
then be used to help future space weapons differentiate
more clearly between a target and its trailing plume.
But NFIRE is itself
weaponized, carrying a projectile-packed "kill vehicle"
that can destroy passing missiles -- or the satellites
of the United States' military and commercial rivals, as
ABC News reported last week. This marks the first time
in history that any nation has put a weapon in space,
despite America's still-official policy against such a
practice. And as Pentagon officials made clear in an
eye-opening presentation to Congress in February,
NFIRE's test is just the first spark of a conflagration
that will soon set the heavens ablaze with American
weaponry capable of striking -- and destroying -- any
spot on earth. As one top Pentagon official -- opposed
to this lunatic proliferation, thus remaining anonymous
-- said: "We're crossing the Rubicon into space
weaponization."
The ABC report --
largely ignored, except by the Irish Examiner and some
specialist web sites -- was strangely incomplete,
however. It noted only that there is a $68 million
appropriation for NFIRE buried in the 2005 military
budget -- leaving the implication that the project is
still on the drawing board.
But in fact, NFIRE is
already operational. It began in August 2002 and has
moved steadily toward its long-established Summer 2004
launch date, according to NASA and press releases from
the private contractors involved. The Pentagon's own
published specs for the mission state clearly: "The
Generation 2 kill vehicle will be integrated into the
near-field experiment payload" when the spacecraft
launches in summer 2004. The Minotaur missile that will
haul the weapon into orbit was ordered by the Pentagon
in January 2003, Orbital Sciences Corporation reports.
Doubtless there will more NFIREs burning in 2005 as
well, but the weaponization of space is not some distant
prospect: That dark future is now.
And the boys in Space
Command are just getting warmed up. They wowed the
salivating Bushist faithful in Congress with highly
detailed plans for a whizbang space arsenal led by the
"Rods From God" -- bundles of tungsten rods fired from
orbiting platforms, hurtling toward earth at 3,700
meters per second, accurate within a range of 8 meters
and able to destroy even the most hardened targets, the
Center for Defense Information reports. They could be
launched at only a few minutes' notice at any target on
the planet.
"God's Rods" will be
accompanied by orbiting lasers, "hunter-killer"
satellites, and space bombers that needn't bother with
silly-billy legal worries about "overflight rights" from
other countries, but can descend out of the ether to
swoop down on any uppity nation that displeases the
world-Caesar in Washington.
This belligerent
Buck-Rogering, long a gleam in many a militarist's eye,
gained relentless momentum with the arrival of Don
Rumsfeld as Pentagon war chief. In the late 1990s, while
helping Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz plot their
"Project for the New American Century" -- wholesale
militarization of U.S. policy, aggressive war (including
the invasion of Iraq even if Saddam Hussein was no
longer there), "global dominance" of "vital energy
resources," etc. -- Rumsfeld also headed a "blue-ribbon
panel" of the usual Establishment worthies looking into
"the role of space in national security." Their
conclusion? You guessed it: Rummy said America must
garrison the heavens to prevent a -- wait for it --
"space Pearl Harbor."
Oddly enough, over at
PNAC, at about the same time, Rummy and Cheney were
speaking openly about the possibility of a "new Pearl
Harbor" that would "catalyze the American people" into
supporting their plans, which were published in
September 2000. Space weaponization -- via "missile
defense" -- was an essential part of the scheme. Once in
office, they shoveled billions to their favored defense
cartels and fast-tracked space-weapon programs. Indeed,
National Security Advisor Condi Rice intended to crown
these early efforts with a major speech enshrining the
Bush Regime's "top priority" for national security:
"missile defense."
Unfortunately, the
speech -- scheduled for Sept. 11, 2001 -- had to be
canceled due to the "new Pearl Harbor" that struck that
day, the Washington Post reported last week. But the
plan and its long-standing priorities -- invasion of
Iraq, military control of Central Asia, space
weaponization -- continued without missing a beat,
though clothed now in the expedient rhetoric of a
"global war on terror."
Of course, with each
passing day, Bush's PNAC centerpiece -- the rape of Iraq
-- is actually breeding more terror, more hatred for
America, more risk for the people he rules with such
ignorant, blood-flecked insouciance. But this doesn't
matter; what matters is the plan, the dominance. And so
space too must be conquered, at any cost, until the
whole world is under cosmic military occupation -- a
global Fallujah, seething with chaos and fury.

Militarisering af rummet og control over Helium 3.
Speaking of bad news, this past week George W. Bush
made his space policy announcement that intends to have
the U.S. return to the moon and then on to Mars. What he
didn't explain is that by establishing military bases
there the U.S. can take control of helium 3, a resource
which could become as profitable in the future as the
"gold rush and the oil boom" according to a space writer
recently in the New York Times.

2004 SPACE ORGANIZING EVENTS
Plans for U.S. “full spectrum dominance” via space
technology are rapidly moving ahead. Please help us by
spreading the word about these important events:
February 9, 2004 Stop Space Nukes Protest
Vigil Albuquerque, N.M. 10:00 – 2:00 pm at
the 21st Annual Symposium on Space Nuclear Power
& Propulsion Albuquerque Hilton (1901 University
Blvd NE)
The nuclear rocket Project Prometheus is the
brainchild of scientists attending this annual
conference. Each year representatives from the DoD, DoE,
NASA, nuclear academia, and the aerospace industry come
together to promote expansion of nuclear power into
space. Join the Global Network as we again shed light on
these dangerous plans, and protest the funding of
continued research and development on nuclear reactors
for space-based weapons, the nuclear rocket, and nuclear
power for NASA’s space missions. NASA and the Pentagon
have signed new agreements stating every space mission
will be “dual use,” meaning each NASA project will carry
military and civilian payloads. NASA’s nuclear space
shots are a Trojan Horse for the Pentagon.
April 23-25, 2004 Global Network 12th Annual
International Conference Resisting Empire: Understanding
the Role of Space in U.S. Global Domination Portland,
Maine
2004 marks the 12th anniversary of the Global Network
and each year we hold an international event in a
different part of the world. This year we will meet in
Maine, the home of Bath Ironworks (BIW) where the Aegis
Destroyer is built. The Aegis is outfitted with
interceptor missiles as part of the Theatre Missile
Defense (TMD) system that will be “forward deployed” by
the Pentagon in the Middle East and used to surround
China, which will of course build more nuclear weapons
in response. Representatives from peace groups worldwide
will be in attendance to share their work to stop Star
Wars. Included in the events will be a protest at
BIW.
This event is being cosponsored by Maine Veterans for
Peace, Peace Action Maine, Pax Christi Maine, Maine
WILPF, and Witness for Peace Maine.
Sept. 25 – Oct. 2, 2004 Keep Space for Peace Week:
International Days of Protest to Stop the Militarization
of Space
The Bush Administration (after unilaterally abandoning
the 1972 ABM Treaty) promises to deploy missile defense
interceptors in Alaska and California before the next
election. Fifteen interceptors (that have yet to be
proven effective) will be put into the ground at Ft.
Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg AFB, California to
“protect” the continental U.S. from attack. This year
the Global Network’s Keep Space for Peace Week coincides
with this deployment effort. For the past several years
our Keep Space for Peace Week of local actions has taken
this issue into classrooms, libraries, TV and radio
programs, churches, military bases, aerospace
corporation facilities, and the offices of political
leaders. We encourage you to organize a local activity
during the week in solidarity with groups all over the
world. Working together we must create opposition to
Bush’s dangerous and destabilizing Star Wars
deployments.

Nye tanker om stjernekrigen.
Kan det lade sig gøre, eller er det blot smarte
forretningsfolk, der har fået sugerøret dybt ned i den
amerikanske økonomi. Ja, forsøgene med raketter med
kendt bane, har indtil videre ikke givet noget lovende
resultat.
Men skulle det lykkes for amerikanerne at fremstille
laservåben, der er i stand til at ramme raketter kort
efter affyringen, vi de da også kunne ramme alt muligt
andet.
Selv om det er et dyrt projekt er der også
"besparelser" i det, da det vil kunne gøre USA uafhængig
af baser rundt omkrig i verdenen.
Arsenal of Hypocrisy: The Space Program and the
Military Industrial Complex
You may now order the newly produced video called
Arsenal of Hypocrisy that features GN Coordinator Bruce
Gagnon, Noam Chomsky and Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar
Mitchell talking about the dangers of moving the arms
race into space. The one-hour production features
archival footage, Pentagon documents, and clearly
outlines the U.S. plan to "control and dominate" space
and the Earth below. The video spells out the dangers of
the Bush "Nuclear Systems Initiative" that will expand
the use of nuclear power in space by building Project
Prometheus -- the nuclear rocket.
Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon, warns that a
war in space would create massive bits of space junk
that would create a mine field surrounding the Earth
making it virtually impossible to launch anything into
the heavens. Mitchell calls space a fragile environment
that must be protected.
Noam Chomsky talks about how the U.S. intends to use
space technology to control the Earth and reminds the
viewer that the U.S. refuses to negotiate a global ban
on weapons in space. He also speaks about the role of
the media in suppressing this important issue.
The video contains archival sound of President Dwight
Eisenhower in 1961 warning the American people about the
power of the military industrial complex.
Arsenal of Hypocrisy was produced by filmmaker Randy
Atkins from Gainesville, Florida.
