Bush's Moon/Mars Program is About Space Empire

Jeez, the guy can't even announce he wants to invest in space exploration without being up to no-good. I mean some stuff is OUT there. Still, it is for history to decide, ("time will tell") and if he has acted as the article indicates, it may well be true. Feel free to comment or e-mail: wahkonta@graffiti.net

Bush's upcoming announcement of a return to the Moon and a trip to Mars is obviously an election PR stunt but it goes much deeper than that.

NASA is not an independent organization devoted to peacefully exploring space; it's a criminal arm of the federal government. Most of the funds don't go into space exploration; they go into warmongering and installing brain-scanners at Boston-Logan airport. This isn't about peaceful exploration of the atmosphere, it's about making it quicker and easier to bomb broken-backed third world nations!

The focus on militarization of and not exploration of space is why the safety record of NASA has been so dismal.

The space shuttle program is 90% controlled by private military contractors and it was Clinton who began this process of privatization back in 1996 when he gave Boeing and Lockheed Martin free reign to spend money without any oversight. These military contractors have been spending that money on classified space warplanes like Aurora.

As soon as they got into power, the Bush administration began appointing directors of NASA from the military sector.

The documents have been leaked which talk of "Full Spectrum Dominance" in the near-earth atmosphere. Rumsfeld thinks it necessary in order to 'avoid another Pearl Harbor'. Where did we hear this before? The PNAC documents which laid out the doctrine of pre-emption also talk at length about the bloodthirsty urge of neo-cons to turn the serene portrait of space into a military battleground.

The plan, leaked in June of last year, is to create a military empire in space with the idea of claiming ownership of near-earth space and not allowing any other countries access. In development are a whole fleet of Aurora space planes that will have the mission of destroying any satellites put into orbit by other nations.

The documents betray the fact that the lunar base which Bush will announce will simply be a military outpost.

So they're basically going to tear up the 1967 space treaty and have all this set in motion by 2014.

This is nothing to do with exploring space, it's about militarizing space. And your tax dollars are going towards the New World Order's next colony, their next empire.

For the warmongers, space is the final frontier.

I hate to say this to someone soooo intellegent, but Bush will not be president in 2015 and most of the Congress and Cabinet will be gone as well. How will they benefit from this "Space Based Militarization" when most of them will be knocking on deaths door before we even establish a colony up there. BL

I'm not disagreeing with you on this, Brad. I find it speculation on a generational level that goes so far as to make Bush a plotter in 2015. It is an example of how far some go to make him wrong. (See my first word at: "Jeeez") Indeed I don't even assume this planet of apes will even be here in 2015 to know what his intentions were. I retain it for use should the contracts begin to go to Corps. of this genre and we'll see how it is being mis-appropriated then. Remember I keep an archive, and some material is more for that than todays blogs. I try to keep them off the forum post when it is but raw data. Sorry if you mis-understood my position on this and hope it is cleared up now.

I generally dislike Bush, most of his policies irritate me on some level or another, but his space initiative is the one thing he's done that I completely 100% agree with. When you're talking about doing things like this, it's not for some party plan or whatever, this is something that will directly benefit ALL of humanity. Space is the next step in our understanding of existence, it's going to eventually become essential to our continued survival as a race as we burn through resources and have more babies. For once I have to agree (as much as it pains me) that Bush can't win no matter what he tries to do.

How about we call the Space Empire conspiracy theories the "Star Wars Evil Empire" theory. It is way out there and unreal like Star Wars.

back at ya - like a typical right wingnut to post a comment with no facts.

the militarization of the space program and the intent to increase it is well documented. for anyone to suggest it as unreal or to blow it off as commie-hippy-homo-lefty conspiracy is only to reveal one's lack of education, understanding, and intellectual depth.

"US Space Command—dominating the space dimension of military operations to protect US interests and investment. Integrating Space Forces into warfighting capabilities across the full spectrum of conflict."

"Control of Space (CoS) is the ability to ensure un-interrupted access to space for US forces and our allies, freedom of operations within the space medium and an ability to deny others the use of space, if required. The ability to gain and maintain space superiority will become critical to the joint campaign plan. With uninterrupted access to space, the United States can launch and reconstitute satellite constellations as required without impediment from our adversaries. Just as dominant battlefield awareness (DBA) is critical to the success of land, sea, and air forces, space surveillance will help us achieve DBA of space. As the US military relies more on space, our vulnerability also increases, so we must protect our space assets and be able to deny other nations from gaining an advantage through their space systems. "

from: United States Strategic Command

http://www.stratcom.mil/

"Establish and provide full-spectrum global strike, coordinated space and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives. Provide operational space support, integrated missile defense, global C4ISR and specialized planning expertise to the joint warfighter."

"As we move onto the 21st Century, space forces will continue to provide support from space, but will also begin to conduct space operations. The emerging synergy of space superiority-equal to land sea, and air superiority-will enable us to achieve Full Spectrum Dominance. "

Military Base on the Moon? H*** yea! I'm there. Perched on the rim of a Moon crater firing off my M-60 "Raygun", or is it "Regan", yelling "GET SOME, GET SOME!"

Emperor Palpatine is the evil ruler of the Empire in Star Wars. This whole Space Empire crap gets the Imperial March Song from Star Wars playing in my head.
