In Space put it at the international conference last year of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power In Space. And mainstream media have succumbed to the spin. Retired Rear Admiral Eugene J. Carroll, Jr., vice president of the Center for Defense Information in Washington, D.C., speaks of trying to get journalists to understand the broader space military program involved. The least likely threat we face is some third-rate nation developing an ICBM and launching it at the United States knowing they will get back 50 times what they send. And this is all far more than reports and rhetoric.
Space is seen as a new place to wage war.
Gagnon of the Gainesville, Florida-based Global Network sees corporate power as the major influence for media not reporting on the broader space military program. Today the media is more manipulated by corporate forces and so the aerospace industry and their corporate media allies can keep the real plans of 'space control' and 'domination' suppressed. The result is that this vital information is being censored. It is a sin of media omission. Rumsfeld is a key to the new Star Wars push.
