On January 3, 2001, the UN General Assembly's Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space Resolution A/55/32 said:
"The exploration and use of outer space....shall be for peaceful purposes and be carried out for the benefit and in the interest of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. (The) prevention of an arms race in outer space would avert a grave danger for international peace and security."
Better get used to it. Even if the US chose not to pursue such a strategic policy, what's to prevent others from doing so? So, it's very likely that the US would eventually be forced into that position. Given that rationale, then it makes sense to get the jump on things when it comes to space based defensive and offensive technology development and deployment. What remains to be seen is how others Out There might react to such developments. To read the rest of the article, click here.
"See the book Space Wars by Bill Birnes et-al. We have no choice but to militarize space. It already is. We need to be able to stop a killer asteroid and we need to be able to defend against hostile ETs coming through wormholes held open by amplified controlled anti-gravitating dark energy (virtual light). There are rumors that at least one such low-intensity attack has actually happened at Robert Bigelow's "Skinwalker" Utah Ranch. See Bigelow's recent interview in the New York Times. Jacques Vallee vigorously denied this happened at all when the story was told to me an Jane's Defence Weekly's Aerospace Editor, Nick Cook, at his exclusive private London Club near MI5 HQ a few years ago. Vallee is on Bigelow's Science Advisory Board. For more information see "Hunt For The Skinwalker" by George Knapp and Colm Kelleher." -- Jack Sarfatti
