Oakland Event: U.S. Militarization of Space

Anthony Gregory, February 07, 2008

Mike Moore will be discussing his important new book, Twilight War: The Folly of U.S. Space Dominance, at the Independent Institute in Oakland, CA, on Tuesday, February 12, 7:00 PM. Here are the details.

Moore’s book is an indispensable contribution to an issue often neglected: The efforts by the U.S. empire to militarize, monopolize and weaponize space. This could potentially spark another Cold War, and Moore, former editor of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, has a unique grasp of the history, technology and geopolitics involved. If you’re in the area, you won’t want to miss it.

    Thanks for posting this – I might just make the drive down. It’s a topic I’ve followed in earnest for more than a decade.

    Here in Canada a groundswell against missile defence helped keep our involvement to the bare minimum – but for how long? An excellent book on the subject targeting the Canadian audience can be found by economic nationalist Mel Hurtig – Rushing to Armageddon: The Shocking Truth about Canada, Missile Defence, and Star Wars

    Militarizing space will have no winners.

    This looks really interesting, but I don’t think you could have picked a spot in Oakland that is less accessible to public transportation.
