October 4-11
Each year the Global Network (GN) urges local organizations around the world to host events (educational and/or protest) to bring the issue of space militarization to the public’s attention.
This year could be one of the most important times ever since the 1992 founding of the GN. With Trump’s recent declaration that he wants to build a ‘Golden Dome’ over North America this is indeed the time to resist this boondoggle scheme.
In our recent public statement opposing Golden Dome (see it here) we revealed that: ‘Early cost estimates from Congressional sources range from $550 billion to trillions over 20 years. Trump wants a $25 billion down payment for the program in 2025. Canada is being brought into Golden Dome likely to help pay for it. We should expect that NATO members will also be hit up to help cover the massive costs.’
If this aerospace industry scam is allowed to go forward there will surely be massive cuts in Social Security, health programs, education, national infrastructure repair and much more.
Thus now is the perfect time to publicly build opposition to Golden Dome and help our fellow citizens understand that they will pay ‘big time’ for this program that is directly linked to US first-strike attack planning. The ‘sword and the shield’.
So please plan to hold local events during Keep Space for Peace Week during Oct 4-11 and let us know what you decide.
In addition be sure during space week to share some of our many short space issue videos which can be found here.
Thank you.
