Editor's note
We present to the reader two articles on global military dominance:
The first is by award winning scientist and Global Outlook contributor John
Valleau entitled: Space Weapons and World Empire,
The second article is a summary by Space Daily of the so-called Force
Application and Launch from the Continental U.S. (FALCON) program developed
under the auspices of The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's
(DARPA).
FALCON is the ultimate New World Order weapons' system, to be used for global
economic and political domination.
It can strike from the continental US anywhere in the World. It is described
as a "global reach" weapon to be used to "react promptly and decisively to
destabilizing or threatening actions by hostile countries and terrorist
organizations". These weapons sysytems are intended to be used. The repeal of
the Rule of Law under the Patriot Act and the militarization of civilian
government institutions, (through the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act),
create conditions which enable the Pentagon to use its NWO weapons.
In other words, under de facto US military government, FALCON would allow the
US to strike, either in support of conventional forces engaged in a war
theater or in punitive bombings directed against countries which do not
comply with US economic and political diktats.
Quite concretely FALCON enforces globalization and the submission of both its
enemies and "allies" to the global free market system. Needless to say it can
also used to destabilize national economies and institutions.
"The unmanned HCV would carry a payload of up to 12,000 lbs and could
ultimately fly at speeds of up to 10 times the speed of sound, according to
Daniel Goure, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute in Washington."
(See J Borger, at http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/BOR307A.html .
This hypersonic cruise weapon system to be developed by Northrop
Grumman "would allow the U.S. to conduct effective, time-critical strike
missions on a global basis without relying on overseas military bases."
Michel Chossudovsky, 30 November 2003

Imagine space with a blanket of orbiting surveillance equipment and space
weapons, particle-beam and laser devices, rockets and missile launchers ...
With this it would be possible to apply force locally and instantly, to
choose just that level of pain deemed appropriate, and to do so with
impunity. It would mark the end of local sovereignty and much of human
dignity.
The stated purpose of the Pentagon`s Vision for 2020 is "dominating space"
to "protect U.S. interests and investment".
Vision for 2020 is a mission statement of the U.S. Space Command which was
published in 1997.1 Since 1997, it has been joined by further documents
fleshing out more details of the plan, such as a "Long Range Plan". (Note the
date, 2020, which gives a time scale for our concerns).
Vision for 2020 sees outer space under the unilateral control of the United
States and filled with weapons able to maintain this control and also able to
attack the earth below. The stated purpose is "dominating space" to "protect
U.S. interests and investment" (perhaps not so very lofty). This
involves "control of space", meaning "access to space, freedom of operations
within space, and an ability to deny others the use of space", and
also "global engagement", which is "the application of precision force from,
to, and through space" as "an active warfighter" with "space-based earth
strike weapons". Apparently, then, we are all meant to live not only under
constant U.S. surveillance, but under constant threat of violence from a
blanket of space weapons – most of us would consider this an indignity too
great to be supported.
To what end? The purpose already quoted makes that quite clear: namely, the
forceful control of the first whole-world commercial empire. This is driven
home by what Vision for 2020 calls an "historic perspective", which states
that "military forces have evolved to protect national interests and
investments" and "during the rise of sea commerce, nations built navies to
protect and enhance their commercial interests. During the westward expansion
of the continental United States, military outposts and the cavalry emerged
(sic) to protect our wagon trains, settlements and railroads", and so on. It
goes on to say "the emergence of space power follows ... these models" (i.e.
of former empires and of genocide).
This is only to confirm, in a surprisingly frank way, what has become the
common worldwide understanding of the intense U.S. pressure to impose the neo-
liberal agenda and structural adjustment on third-world nations (and us),
namely to facilitate the classic imperial aim of seizing the resources and
exploiting the labour of less developed countries, where possible with the
help of puppet governments. The otherwise curious pattern of often heartless
U.S. interventions, overt and covert, is also most plausibly interpreted in
this way, as is the refusal to countenance the rule of law in international
matters, and the rejection of cooperation in confronting ecological
imperatives. No surprises here, just a reminder that the ‘globalisation'
fights, the environmental concerns, the civil rights dismay and the present
focus on the military threat are really all part of a single apprehension of
threatened tyranny — tyranny threatened, one has reason to hope, not by most
people of the U.S.A., but by a corrupt ruling class acting on behalf of a
corporate and financial elite which is able to ‘buy' political power.
Note the problem of controlling such an empire when one colony or another is
restive. Nuclear weapons are of limited value, because too powerful for most
occasions: their actual use will be too disruptive of the empire (and will
probably have adverse collateral effects on current ‘friends' and maybe even
the homeland). And bodybags quickly become unacceptable to a citizenry not
fully identified with the imperial aims.
But imagine space with a blanket of orbiting surveillance equipment and space
weapons such as particle-beam and laser devices, rocket and missile
launchers, devices to disable electromagnetic equipment or to control the
weather locally, and so on. With this it would be possible to apply force
locally and instantly, to choose just that level of pain deemed appropriate,
and to do so with impunity. It would mark the end of local sovereignty and
much of human dignity.
