THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA'S SOUL |
|
The Global Network has a new one hour video called "The Battle for America's Soul" based on a 2005 speech by GN Coordinator Bruce Gagnon. The
speech was delivered at the Emmanual Mennonite Church in Gainesville, Florida during a speaking tour across that state.
The one-hour video covers the mythology of America, corruption within the military industrial complex, plans for U.S. control of space, the corporate
destruction of the American economy, America's addiction to weapons and war, and concludes with a transformative vision for the nation.
The high quality nature of the production makes this video especially good for showing on local cable TV stations. Purchase of the video automatically
comes with the GN's permission to show it in any venue.
The video can be obtained in either VHS ($18 includes s/h) or DVD format ($20 includes s/h). (Please be sure to specify which you prefer.) Make
checks payable to Global Network and send to address below.

A SPACE 4 PEACE |
|
... is a new documentary about the Bush administration's revival of the old "Star Wars" program and the growing movement of protest and resistance.
The film features Helen Caldicott the Australian anti-nuclear activivist, Loring Wirbel the author of Star Wars, US Tools of Space Supremacy and PhilCoyle
former assistant secretary of Defense.
The video examines the evolution of space-based technology, and the way it is now used in a variety of settings including intelligence operations and on-the- ground
military campaigns. It is an introduction to the real aims and capabilities of US space technology and the missile defence program.
The young filmmaker, Daniel Reilly, made the film with a personal touch and designed it to appeal to younger people and those new to the peace movement. It
features protestors at Vandenberg Air Force Base and Space Command in southern California where the "Star Wars" interceptors are scheduled to be deployed before the November
elections.
Each VHS and DVD comes with permission to make copies.
The first screening of the video at the Fellowship of Reconciliation conference in Los Angeles received good reviews from peace activists, film critics and other
documentary producers.
The documentary is 38 minutes long and is available in VHS or DVD in exchange for a donation of $10 to the Global Network.

You may now order the newly produced video called Arsenal of Hypocrisy that features GN Coordinator Bruce Gagnon, Noam Chomsky
and Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell talking about the dangers of moving the arms race into space. The one-hour production features archival footage, Pentagon documents, and clearly
outlines the U.S. plan to "control and dominate" space and the Earth below. The video spells out the dangers of the Bush "Nuclear Systems Initiative" that will expand the use of
nuclear power in space by building Project Prometheus -- the nuclear rocket.
|
Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon, warns that a war in space would create massive bits of space junk that would create a mine field surrounding the Earth making it virtually
impossible to launch anything into the heavens. Mitchell calls space a fragile environment that must be protected.
Noam Chomsky talks about how the U.S. intends to use space technology to control the Earth and reminds the viewer that the U.S. refuses to negotiate a global ban on weapons in space.
He also speaks about the role of the media in suppressing this important issue.
The video contains archival sound of President Dwight Eisenhower in 1961 warning the American people about the power of the military industrial complex.
Arsenal of Hypocrisy was produced by filmmaker Randy Atkins from Gainesville, Florida.

Here's what the book cover says:
"Star Wars: US Tools of Space Supremacy provides a fresh look at the role of space as an enabler of the Bush administration's plans for endless preventive war. It
debunks the benign notions of missile defence, and expands the definition of space supremacy beyond that of weapons in space, to include the unilateral misuse of space-based intelligence,
communications, and targeting technologies.
Loring Wirbel shows how space militarization forms a key part of the explicit unilateral empire-building of the Bush administration. The book is also a stark
reminder that preventive war theory did not originate with Donald Rumsfeld. First used as a term by Reagan, 'Star Wars' was an idea rooted in the Cold War. Wirbel argues that the
current space supremacy doctrine was first developed in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War, in the early days of the Clinton administration. Giving a historical overview of
governmental policies through the 1980s and 1990s to the present, Wirbel shows that 'Star Wars' is an idea that never went away.
Examining the evolution of space-based technology, and the way it is now used in a variety of settings including intelligence operations and on-the- ground military
campaigns, this is a comprehensive critical guide to the real aims and capabilities of US space technology and the missile defence program.
Loring Wirbel has been involved in military conversion and peace work for 25 years, and has studied technical intelligence and civil liberties issues for nearly as long.
He is currently editorial director for communications initiatives at CMP Media LLC, headquartered in New York and London. He has worked for daily newspapers in the US southwest, and
has held key positions in leading technology publications such as Electronic Engineering Times."
