The North: Platform for US War Against Russia

With Agneta Norberg & Eva Jonsson from Sweden talking about the growing militarization of the North country (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark) aimed at Russia.

Agneta is a Global Network board member and lives in Stockholm. Eva is a leader of Women for Peace and lives in Kiruna – in the far north of Sweden. Her group hosted our Global Network annual meeting in 2013.

‘STOP Militarization of Space’ New Zealand Rocket Lab Protest

‘STOP Militarisation of Space’ New Zealand ‘Rocket Lab’ protest 21 June 2021 in Auckland. It asks government and Space Industry CEO to refuse US military Space Missile payloads for warfare combat targeting. Speakers also expose dangers to health and environment from the proposed 100,000 satellites for civilian/military dual purpose.

This public event reinforces NZ Nuclear Free Peacemaker policies and the Outer Space and High-altitude Activities Act. However, (OSHAA) regulations must be improved to keep ‘Space for Peace Aotearoa’. This requires an amendment to prohibit rocket launches of military weapons and satellites contributing to warfare infrastructure. In addition, the NZ government should actively pursue the UN PAROS Treaty (Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space) for protection of Heaven and Earth for humanity.

Space Alert! New Treaty Needed to Prevent an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS)

With Journalism Professor Karl Grossman and long-time peace activist Alice Slater. Interviewed by Bruce Gagnon.

Both are on the boards of the Global Network and they discuss PAROS (Prevention of an Arms Space in Outer Space) and the history of the US blocking Russia and China’s many attempts to create a new treaty at the United Nations to ban all weapons in space.

Also discussed is the current drive by the nuclear industry to move their toxic product into space to power mining colonies on the planetary bodies, power rockets to Mars and to provide power for space weapons.

Opposition in New Zealand to Military Space Launches

The latest Global Network Space Alert interview with Professor Kevin Clements from New Zealand about the Rocket Lab campaign opposing U.S. military space launches on indigenous Maori land.

US Occupied S. Korea, No Naval Base on Jeju, No THAAD in S. Korea

Sung-Hee Choi has been involved in the continuous struggle opposing the construction of a massive naval base in Gangjeong Village on Jeju Island for more than ten years. The protest has been continuous, 24/7 outside the gates of this base to accommodate America’s “Pivot to Asia.”

The US has occupied S. Korea for 76 years and fundamentally controls the government and the military and the Korean people have sacrificed their lives and their safety for opposing this occupation.

Regis’ feature documentary, ‘The Ghosts of Jeju’, documenting not only this struggle against the base, but the atrocities committed at the hands of the US military after WWII and before the Korean Conflict can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkFDC…

US Plan for world domination unfolding

Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network discusses the US role in S. Korea since 1945: total domination and colonization. We discussed full spectrum dominance, the Pivot to Asia, NATO expansion to Asia. We looked at all of this in the context of last weeks summit between Russia and the USA.

Coup in Belarus, NED Exposed, Putin-Biden Summit, Weaponization of Space

Bruce Gagnon talks with Regis Tremblay about Roman Protasevich who was arrested in Belarus after his Ryan Air flight made an emergency landing in Minsk because of a bomb scare. Apparently, Protasevich was “the bomb.” Was he set up to embarrass Belarus and Russia?

Also discussed was the upcoming summit between President Putin and Joe Biden. Complications are already brewing as the Swiss government will not allow Russia media who were vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V to cover the event. Will that include Putin, Sergey Lavrov and the Russian delegation? Finally they talk about the weaponization of space.

Militarization of the Arctic

In recent years, the US and NATO have been militarizing the Arctic through Norway as a means to confront Russia. This militarization is increasing tensions between nuclear-armed nations. As the Arctic melts away, these powerful nations are competing for dominance in the region as new routes are established, building new military bases, constructing new radars, and less efforts are placed in diplomacy.

Space Alert! 2: War from Sea and Space: Hiding Empire in the 21st Century

Space Alert, the Global Network’s monthly live stream, interviews guests from a variety of backgrounds to discuss important issues about the militarization of outer space and beyond.

Today’s guest is Koohan Paik-Mander, a board member of the Global Network, discussing the US empire’s strategy of fighting wars from both space and the sea.

Exporting American Capitalism to Outer Space

The Pentagon and multinational corporations are privatizing outer space, placing profit over people. Laws are being implemented in order to benefit billionaires, compromising decades-long international treaties. Exporting American capitalism, colonizing Mars, privatizing asteroids and other celestial bodies are all a continuation of Westward Expansion, Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism. We must fight back to keep space for peace before it’s too late!

Space Alert! 1: US-NATO Space Issues

Board Members of the Global Network launch the first episode of a new monthly live stream, Space Alert! Bruce Gagnon, Tarama Lorincz and Dave Webb from the Global Network discuss US-NATO space issues and more!

Ukraine On Fire 2016 – Oliver Stone

As much as any place around the world the current situation in Ukraine could be a trigger for nuclear war. With the recent construction of US Aegis-Ashore ‘missile defense’ bases in Romania and Poland as well as current deployment in the Black Sea of Navy Aegis destroyers with MD systems on board, it seems crucial that world citizens should have a greater understanding of the current crisis in Ukraine. This documentary produced by Oliver Stone will help everyone sort through the many elements of this confusing and important story.

The Fight Against Raytheon

Raytheon is the 4th largest weapons contractor in the world. Recently, a former Raytheon board member and retired four star general, Lloyd Austin, was appointed as the Secretary of War under the Biden Administration, further highlighting the revolving door between the Pentagon, the war industry and Congress.

The Global Network has long opposed operations involving Raytheon. We must continue the fight against Raytheon!

The Space Force: Who cares about an arms race in space?

Bruce Gagnon (coordinating the Global Network since 1992) will discuss the recent creation by the US of the Space Force to give the US ‘control and domination of space’. He will also update us on a recent federal legal action that the GN is part of that contests the launching of tens of thousands of satellites into space. The impacts from these launches are multi-fold including impacts on bird, bee, and bug life from 5G wireless radiation directed from space, further ozone depletion due to toxic exhaust from rocket launches, loss of night sky which is angering astronomers because of thousands of blinking satellites and the deep concerns over crowding of Earth orbits which will exacerbate the already huge problem of space debris.

Space Domination International Panel discussion as part of Keep Space for Peace Week 2020

How can we confront the rapidly increasing militarization and possible weaponization of space?

When the US Space Force was established last year, President Trump said that it marked “a big moment” and that there was “going to be a lot of things happening in space. Because space is the world’s newest war-fighting domain.” A new generation of space weapons – episode 2 of Reagan’s Star Wars – is In the cards. The U.S., Russia, China and India have extensive military space programmes and tested ASAT’s and the UK, France, NATO, Japan and South Korea have either established or are working towards their own military Space Forces.

Keep Space for Peace Week gives us an opportunity to focus on the challenges presented by the rush to exploit space. GN Convenor Professor Dave Webb introduces a panel of GN experts: Professor Karl Grossman (U.S.), Tamara Lorincz (Canada), Sung-Hee Choi (South Korea), Denis Doherty (Australia) and GN Coordinator Bruce Gagnon (U.S.) to discuss ways in which we can face these challenges.

War in Space: Weaponizing the ‘Final Frontier’ and building a global citizen movement to stop it!

Webinar bringing together key activists from the US and the UK to discuss the latest news and views on ‘star wars’, missile defence, space weapons, and the on-going campaign to prevent a war in space.
𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲: 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗯 (Chair of CND UK) in conversation with 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗻 (Coordinator, Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space US) & Lynda Williams (Activist and Science-educator, California, US).

It’s almost 40 years since Ronald Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ speech proposed the ‘Strategic Defense Initiative’ – a ground, air and space -based missile defence systems to prevent a missile strike on the US. Now space is congested with around 2,000 satellites being used by business and the military to extend their global reach. New launches take place almost every day. Elon Musk’s Space X company is setting up a global 5G system from space and has been granted permission to launch another 12,000, and perhaps as many as 30,000, satellites in low Earth orbit in the next few years. There are plans to set up bases on Mars and the Moon and to mine the asteroids for rare metals and minerals. Space has become big business and those business interests are concerned about the safety of their investments.

Therefore, an increasing number of states are now following the US and forming their own “Space Force”. The US, Russia, China and India have already tested anti-satellite weapons. Military space planes and hyper-sonic missiles are being developed for early deployment. Satellites are already integral components of armed drone strikes, global surveillance and eavesdropping, dual use missile defence-offence systems and much more.

One accident or mistake resulting in the loss of a key space component could initiate a nuclear war.

Jeju: Island of Resistance

The Global Network’s latest video focuses on the continual struggle from Jeju Island, Korea against the militarization of the island as well as US imperialism on the peninsula.

The Global Network was invited to hold our annual conference in Gangjeong Village in 2012. The village is where a naval base has been constructed, destroying fishing and farming lands which has been a fundamental source of life for the local villagers for hundreds of years. In addition, a 2nd airport is being constructed in the name of tourism but will actually be used by the militaries of both South Korea and the US, and many islanders see it has a continuation of the militarization of their home lands. The Naval Base and the 2nd Airport are being pushed forward in undemocratic ways where local villagers have not given their consent for such exploitation. Jeju’s struggle is a perpetuation of foreign powers imposing militarization and imperialism onto the local people since the 1948 April 3rd Uprising and Massacre, where 30,000-60,000 people were killed and further dividing the Korean Peninsula.

The Global Network stands in solidarity with the people of Jeju and Korea who oppose militarization and stand for peace and justice.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Mine the Moon

Trump signed an executive order to allow corporations and citizens, aka billionaires, to begin mining the moon. In addition, they want to use nuclear reactors to fuel spacecraft so they can mine Mars in the future. Corporations already dominate Earth, and it isn’t enough for them. They want more. So, now they want to dominate Outer Space.

RAF Croughton: An American Military Base

The Global Network recently held their annual conference in Oxford, England. Part of the conference was to visit RAF Croughton, an American military base posed as a U.K. military base, hence the “RAF” meaning “Royal Air Force”. The GN wants to expose these military bases in their connection to killing innocent people in the wars that America and the U.K. are waging around the world. The U.S. has 800 military bases around the world. These bases help to start wars.

Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space

Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space is a documentary film by Denis Delestrac with a music score by Amon Tobin. The film deals with the issue of space weapons and their politics, featuring interviews with several key United States military personal, academics such as Noam Chomsky and others, including Martin Sheen. The film won the Best Documentary award at the 2009 Whistler Film Festival and has been selected in a number of international film festivals.

Arsenal of Hypocrisy The Space Program and the Military Industrial Complex

Today the Military Industrial Complex is marching towards world dominance through Space technology on behalf of global corporate interest. To understand how and why the space program will be used to fight all future wars on earth from space, it’s important to understand how the public has been misled about the origins and true purpose of the Space Program.

‘Arsenal of Hypocrisy’ features GN Coordinator Bruce Gagnon, Noam Chomsky and Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell talking about the dangers of moving the arms race into space. The one-hour production features archival footage, Pentagon documents, and clearly outlines the U.S. plan to “control and dominate” space and the Earth below. The video spells out the dangers of the Bush “Nuclear Systems Initiative” that will expand the use of nuclear power in space by building Project Prometheus — the nuclear rocket.

Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon, warns that a war in space would create massive bits of space junk that would create a mine field surrounding the Earth making it virtually impossible to launch anything into the heavens. Mitchell calls space a fragile environment that must be protected.

Noam Chomsky talks about how the U.S. intends to use space technology to control the Earth and reminds the viewer that the U.S. refuses to negotiate a global ban on weapons in space. He also speaks about the role of the media in suppressing this important issue.

The video contains archival sound of President Dwight Eisenhower in 1961 warning the American people about the power of the military industrial complex.

‘Arsenal of Hypocrisy’ was produced by filmmaker Randy Atkins from Gainesville, Florida.
