International Day of Protest to Stop the Militarization of Space -13 October 2001

Bruce Gagnon


The Bush administration, the Pentagon, and their corporate allies are
pushing hard to move the arms race into space.  The first phase of
deployment will likely be Theatre Missile Defense (TMD) systems that
will virtually surround China and force them to build more nuclear
weapons.  "Missile defense" will only make the world more insecure!

The space-based laser (SBL), now moving toward testing at NASA's Stennis
Missile Center in Mississippi, will be the "follow-on" technology to
ballistic missile defense.  The SBL, the real Reagan Star Wars system,
will be used to knock out other countries' satellites giving the U.S.
Space Command "control and domination" of space in order to protect
corporae "interests and investments."

Join us on October 13 by organizing an action in your community in
solidarity with groups all over the world.  Hold an event at a U.S.
military base; DoE facility; NASA installation; U.S.  Embassy; an
aerospace corporation; federal building; or an academic institution that
is working on military space.

We must create the political movement that can stop the funding of
research and development for Star Wars.  Only by reaching the public
with this debate will we be able to do that.

Please let us know if you plan to organize a local event on October 13
so we can add you to the list.  Working together it can be done!

14th September 2001

I've heard from several folks who wonder if our plans for October 13 are
still on.  The answer is yes, yes, yes.  Now more than ever.

Bush and Congress are moving money in truck loads to the Pentagon and
aerospace industry for Star Wars research and development.  Just last
night Congress voted to give Bush $40 billion to handle this new crisis.

It is my feeling that our October 13 Int'l Day of Protest to Stop the
Militarization of Space needs to be broadened to include the coming
reality of war preparation.  I strongly suggest that where possible our
actions try to incorporate the following:

 Oppose preparations for war.  Revenge and the likely killing of more
 innocent people will only fuel the fires of hatred and terrorism
 U.S.  "control and domination" of space or the Earth below only creates
 more global instability
 Deployments of Theatre Missile Defense (TMD) in the Middle East and
 Asia will escalate tensions and conditions for war in those regions
 Cuts in social security and other social spending programs are likely
 results of massive military expansion
 NATO's plan to "support" U.S.  military action will essentially give
 the alliance the excuse to permanently "occupy"  the Middle East.
 (Former President Bill Clinton called for this very thing when he ran
 for president the first time)
 American people must acknowledge that there are root causes for the
 tremendous anger against our government and we must deal with them
 The tragic incidents of September 11 reveal how Star Wars will not
 offer any real protection from those who are determined to attack the
 U.S.
 We must remind the public that many of those suspected as the leaders
 of this terror were trained by the CIA
 We must defend our constitutional rights to peacefully assemble and
 speak

In times like this we must all show great courage.  Our views might not
appear popular as the public casts about looking for answers and
revenge.  But in fact many people will respond positively to our call
that violence begets more violence.  Our October 13 actions should be
used to convey this message.
