Arthur Rudolph he became the first
project director of the nasa saturn v
rocket program that took the united
states
so these are the essential origins of
the u.s. space program and so when we
hear this slogan master of space that is
on the building of the US Space Command
headquarters in Colorado Springs at
Peterson Air Force Base do we not find
an ideological similarity between master
of space and Hitler's slogan Deutschland
uber alles Germany overall but what were
the major implications of the space act
they simply said that we were to pursue
the development of activities in space
for the benefit of all mankind
well let's take a look at this US Space
Command what is it it's the command that
has been put in charge of controlling
space and it has just recently been
merged with the old Strategic Air
Command so now that the the space guys
if you will and the old bomber guys and
the missile guys are all part of the
same command and the Space Command put
out a planning document a few years ago
called vision for on the cover of
it you see a satellite hitting targets
on the earth below let's take a look at
some of the language in this so-called
vision for the Space Command says
that in the future because of corporate
globalization of the world economy they
expect that there's going to be a
widening gap between the haves and
have-nots between the rich and the poor
all over the world and as a result of
that the Pentagon predicts that there's
going to be more and more regional
instability around the world because
people that are under the boot of these
multinational corporations are going to
organize they're going to try to
organize unions they're going to
organize to get these corporations from
controlling their governments and the
Pentagon says you know we can't put a
marine on every single street corner of
the world to suppress these populations
but with space technology in place we'll
be able to see everything hear
everything
and essentially target everything in
every place on the earth and the vision
says that space superiority will
emerge as an essential element of
battlefield success
future warfare vision for also
talks about dominating space and
controlling space and they actually
define control of space they say control
of space is the ability to assure access
to space freedom of operations within
the space medium and I think most
importantly of all they say an ability
to deny others the use of space so here
we are % of the world's population
we're going to deny other countries the
use of space because we are going to be
the masters of space
if you take a look at the Space Command
website and you take a look at the plans
they have it's mind-boggling I mean they
are trying to put in motion plans which
in effect could allow some command post
in Colorado Springs Colorado mountains
to instantaneously attack any part of
the world without warning from space
platforms with either nuclear or other
high disruptive destructive weapons and
to chance they think to cut back on
forward basing and simply to hold the
whole world in thrall to instant
destruction with you know Mach and
hypersonic drones giving instant
surveillance of whether somebody's
crossing a street in some Australia or
something like that
well we now know that the Persian Gulf
War in the early s was actually the
first space war ever with us satellite
supremacy we were able to pre identify
all of Saddam Hussein's military targets
before the war ever began and in the
first two to three days of that war we
bombed over percent of Saddam
Hussein's targets intentionally leaving
just a tiny sliver of capability in
place that we then played cat-and-mouse
with over the remaining weeks of the war
where we used a hundred cruise missiles
at a million dollars apiece tested out
new stealth bombers and new laser
weapons and so coming out of that war
the Space Command said my god whoever
controls space is going to control the
earth below whoever controls the space
will win all the wars on the earth and
so we now know that the Kosovo war the
war would Yugoslavia was actually the
second space war and the war with
Afghanistan was the third space war and
in that war with Afghanistan the United
States introduced a whole new weapon
system called the UAV the unmanned
aerial vehicle a pilotless plane that
flies over Africa
Stan sending back what is called
real-time split-second time streaming
video via satellite back to MacDill Air
Force Base in Tampa where general Tommy
Franks was sitting watching the
television screen is it Taliban is it al
Qaeda is it a wedding and in a moment he
could push the button and the UAV the
unmanned aerial vehicle which the
Pentagon has nicknamed the predator
could fire in real time could fire and
hit the target on the earth below all
done in split-second by satellite
technology and so the Pentagon calls
this increasing the kill shame and in
George Bush's new war with Iraq the
latest space war the Pentagon has tested
out a whole new military doctrine called
shock and awe so today with the United
States controlling space we are able to
absolutely win every war on the earth
there is no challenger on this earth
able to stand against us at the same
time the Bush administration is
introducing this program called national
missile defense the idea of having a
bullet hit a bullet in deep space in
order to protect the continental United
States from attack by the so-called
rogue states well I would submit to you
that this idea of national missile
defense is really a Trojan horse
that it has nothing to do at all with
defense but in fact it's about
controlling space dominating space and
denying other countries access to space
so the United States could be the master
of space and the master of the earth
below that we can control the
battlefields of the earth and it's not
beyond realisation I'm in the u.s. is
there's nobody else is there's no space
race the u.s. is in it alone no other
country is willing to put the huge
amount of
money into efforts to nominate by
extreme violence at the cost of lots of
social cost you know the American people
are being asked to turn over the
National Treasury to the Pentagon
because so-called missile defense will
literally cost us hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of billions of dollars and
how will we pay for this through cuts in
education health care job programs
environmental cleanup this is the way
the Bush administration and their allies
their corporate allies their aerospace
allies who view space as a new market
this is how they intend to pay for these
programs but besides this idea of
national missile defense that they say
will protect us from attack by the rogue
states and from even China China who
today only has nuclear missiles
capable of hitting the United States
besides national missile defense though
there's a whole new program underway and
it's called theater missile defense TMD
the idea of theater missile defense is
you don't wait until the missiles get
way up into deep space
