Star wars returns - Free speech tv. 1 of 3

Well not about Iraq but equally insane.

"Star Wars Returns," a video documentary exposing how the Bush administration is moving to make space a new arena of war, in violation of the intent of international law, has just been released by EnviroVideo.

The documentary is being distributed in the U.S. and around the world." Star Wars Returns" is narrated and was written by investigative reporter and journalism Professor Karl Grossman, directed and edited by Emmy Award-winner Steve Jambeck and produced by Joan Flynn.

It presents U.S. military documents setting forth U.S. plans to "control space" and from space "dominate" the earth below. It reveals the multi-billion dollar U.S. development program now underway to produce space-based laser weapons, and that far more than "missile defense" is involved. It also details the international opposition to the U.S. Star Wars program.

"Star Wars Returns" explores the recently issued report of the Space Commission chaired by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld which calls for U.S. "power projection in, from and through space" and declares: "In the coming period the U.S. will conduct operations to, from, in and through space in support of its national interests both on earth and in space."

U.S. Senator Bob Smith, who wrote the legislation establishing the Rumsfeld Space Commission, asserts in "Star Wars Returns" about U.S. "control" of space: "It is our manifest destiny. You know we went from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States of America settling the continent and they call that manifest destiny and the next continent if you will, the next frontier, is space and it goes on forever."

Others appearing in "Star Wars Returns" are Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space; Rear Admiral Eugene Carroll (USN, ret.), vice president of the Center for Defense Information; Congressman Dennis Kucinich; physicist Dr. Vandana Shiva of India; Bill Sulzman, director of Citizens for Peace in Space; Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York; editor Loring Wirbel; and Regina Hagen, a Global Network director.

Also interviewed is Craig Eisendrath who, as a U.S. State Department officer, was central in drafting the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the intent of which the U.S. is now preparing to violate, charges Eisendrath in "Star Wars Returns." It is the basic international law on space, ratified by most countries of the world, and sets space aside for "peaceful purposes."

My god, shooting down nuclear missiles heading right toward us. Those war-mongering bastards!!!

Wherever human beings are, there will inevitably be war and crime; banning weapons in space is as idiotic as banning weapons in the sky, or banning them at sea.

Seriously, if somebody in the 1500s proposed to ban all weapons from the seas (battleships, cannon, even muskets, flintlocks, and swords carried by sailors), they would have been laughed at by intelligent people who understood reality.

Better that America have the upper hand in space than countries like China, Russia, and Iran.

@raunchbear did you even watch the video? its pretty clear from the u.s. space command's own documents that national self defense isn't the main purpose of putting weapon's in space. protecting u.s. commercial interests is mentioned more than anything else

[LEONIDASTREEHUNDRED]

"Haves and Have-nots"

This is cynical calvinistic bull-shit. Typical for people born with a golden spoon in their assholes like Rumsfeld, Bush, and other criminals of this kind. The have-nots are have-nots, because of the ones who have: The thieves. Get the Haves "in line". Problem solved. Its much cheaper too. You dont need WMDs. Rifles would do it.

[MillyVanillification]

The only nation on this planet which has shot nuclear weapons towards people is the USA. So if the USA wants to protect itself, the best way to achieve this would be that the USA get rid of its own nuclear armament. The USA is its own greatest enemy.

so this is where my taxpayer money is going to

[deathbed105]

i think that if we start using space as a war zone, the aliens will just come in and get rid of us before we destroy space as well
