SPACE COMMISSION SET TO REPORT TO CONGRESS
PAVING THE WAY FOR RUMSFELD AND STAR WARS
On January 11, the same day that the Senate Armed Services Committee begins
public hearings on the Rumsfeld nomination for Secretary of Defense, the
Commission to Assess U.S. National Security Space Management and
Organization is to release its findings after more
than a year of study. Established by members of Congress who
claim that preparations to protect U.S. "Space Assets" are inadequate, the
commission's report will likely pave the way for Star Wars.
The commission was led by Donald Rumsfeld, President-select George
W. Bush's nominee for Secretary of Defense, who has pledged to
make the missile "defense", and the space-based laser, a top priority.
Three former leaders of the U.S. Space Command are commission members and
there is no doubt that the timing of the "Commission's report", on the same
day that Rumsfeld's confirmation hearings begin, are intended to create the
momentum to sweep Rumsfeld into his new cabinet seat without a word of
controversy.
While the media and some in Congress question the appointments of Ashcroft,
Chavez, and Norton, the move toward Star Wars and the expenditure of over
$100 billion to get there is not open for public discussion. The creation
of a new arms race in space and the U.S. violation of the ABM and Outer
Space Treaties seems to be an insignificant issue to the corporate
controlled media.
The aerospace industry has the media in the bag. Now they are lining up
Congress to ease through the Rumsfeld nomination. Once done they figure not
a wimper will be heard from the American people. The new space "control and
domination" regime will be underway and massive corporate welfare for the
industry will be in place. Further cuts in social spending will have to
come next to pay for the enormous costs in Star Wars.
We urge all who are concerned to immediately contact your two U.S. Senators
to urge them to fight Star Wars. The real fight to stop Star Wars begins
with the issue of Senate approval of Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of
Defense.
Call your Senators as soon as possible via the Congressional Switchboard at:
(202) 224-3121. Please act now before it is too late!
