Dear Skywatchers,

 

This week we're delighted to welcome Dr Helen Caldicott to Skywatch

Radio. Dr. Caldicott is a Nobel Prize-nominated peace activist, she

led the anti-nuclear movement in the United States. She's a physican,

her insights into the effects of nuclear war on humans, plants,

animals and ecosystems are detailed and she describes them in this

interview.

 

Dr. Caldicott is the author of many books including War in Heaven. A

look into the larger meaning of " Full Spectrum Dominance. " Helen

Caldicott also says Congress is very accessible, there are more doors

open since the last election. Maybe, get a delegation together, make

it sort of an adventure, take a road trip and drop in on your local

Congressman in DC.

War in Heaven - Review

 

In War in Heaven, a Nobel Prize-nominated peace activist and a former

U.S. foreign service officer (who helped write the Outer Space Treaty

of 1967) look at the history of military uses of space and the current

plans for " militarizing the heavens, " including kinetic, laser, nuclear

bombardment, and anti-satellite weapons.

 

Contrary to the claims of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that

the United States faces a " space Pearl Harbor, " Caldicott and

Eisendrath show that the United States itself is today the principal

obstruction to passage of an international treaty banning weapons from

outer space.

 

" During the early portion of the twenty-first century, space power

will also evolve into a separate and equal medium of warfare … The

emerging synergy of space superiority with land, sea, and air

superiority will lead to Full Spectrum Dominance. " - from U.S. Space

Command Vision for 2020

 

When most of us think about the potential of outer space for future

generations, we think of world communications, satellite navigation,

and scientific exploration. U.S. Space Command, however, thinks about

weapons. Believing that conflict in space and wars fought from space

are inevitable, the president has called on the agency to weaponize

outer space and thus provoke an arms race that could cost the United

States trillions of dollars and could lead to the demise of the human

race.
