'Star Wars is no longer science fiction'. The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction. The dream of the original Dr. Strangelove, Wernher von Braun (from Nazi rocket-scientist to NASA director) has survived every US administration since WW2 and is coming to life. Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage.

PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat?

With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.

    Couldn't they afford to spend money on translating the foreign language into subtitles for this documentary.

    I think it would be fair to categorize the character of the modern day american state/corporate complex as increasingly fascist. There are some striking similarities to late Weimar germany: Threat of inflation, high unemployment. Mussolini once said "Fascism is the merger of State and corporate power".

    It remains to be seen what will happen, but we've got to recognize that should we fail to restrain both power structures, we will castrate our species' potential.

    Are the US leaders turning into Hitler? Or is it just me?

    I like to spend a little time now and then giving the satellites over my house a look like "Yeah, I see you seeing me, punk." Maybe flip the bird to the bird. I'm not so much worried they'll call an airstrike as I am that I'm actual feigning bravery at a harmless TV or weather sat, and the bad guys are seeing this and laughing. And now possibly reading this. Stupid high ground, think they're so high...
