Global Research is a website whose focus is principally on truth and government accountability, and one of the most important divisions on this subject is on the question of the truth behind war. [1]
And while we have been speaking frequently in the past few years on the question of the War in Ukraine, the War in Yemen, and similar violence against Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, etc, there is another important component that is somewhat disregarded. That piece has to do with the Weaponization of Space.
The United States Space Force was founded in 2019. It is a division of the U.S. Armed Forces, alongside the Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force, and would exist to provide access to space operations and consequently a new field on which to target enemies. This extra dimension seems seldom discussed in public media discussion. But it’s consequences could be fundamental in anyone concerned about war in 2023 and beyond. [2]
The Global Network against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space (GN) has been in existence since 1992. It was founded by the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice (FCPJ); Citizens for Peace in Space (Colorado Springs); and New York-based Journalism professor Karl Grossman. Bruce Gagnon has served as its coordinator. The organization has been an effective educational tool to its members and the 170 organizations around the world with which it is affiliated. [3]
On this 31st annual general meeting held over ZOOM on the 15th of July presents a number of eloquent discussions encapsulating not only Ballistic Missile Defense systems (Star Wars) but also the development of NATO into the Asia-Pacific, Full Spectrum Dominance, and the evolution of propaganda in the era of social media and the internet. These discussions are the focus of this summertime edition of the Global Research News Hour.
Appearing in this discussion were GN Board Chair Dave Webb, Korean-American Juyeon Rhee, independent journalist Christian Sorenson, retired educator and organizer Lisa Savage, and Canadian peace activist and academic Tamara Lorincz.
Dave Webb is Professor Emeritus and the Convener of the GN board of directors. He is a retired university engineering professor who switched to Peace and Conflict Studies. He was chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in the UK and is chair of the Yorkshire Region CND and a patron of the UK group Scientists for Global Responsibility.
Juyeon Rhee has been a member of New York-based Nodutdol for Korean Community Development since 2000. She is also a board member at Korea Policy Institute, and also a steering committee member of Tongil Peace Foundation. She holds multiple memberships with overseas Korean organizations supporting peace and reunification work.
Christian Sorensen is a New England-based researcher and independent journalist in the US mainly focused on the corporations profiting from war. An Air Force veteran, he is the author of the book Understanding the War Industry.
Lisa Savage is a retired educator, organizer, and past candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2020. She lives in Solon, Maine and blogs at https://went2thebridge.substack.com
Tamara Lorincz is a PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School for International Affairs at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. She’s a member of the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace and serves on the board of the GN.
