National Space Policy & Arsenal of Hypocrisy Video

The first full revision of the National Space Policy (aka Star Wars, aka America's war on the Universe) was released at 5 p.m. on the Friday before Columbus Day (2006), with no public announcement.
Some of the key points:

• Deployment of offensive weapons systems in space
• Reject future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space
• Preemptive attacks and unilateral actions around the world to protect corporate interests like oil and other diminishing resources

The Space Policy revision is yet another (major) step in a long series of actions that started during the 2nd World War. A very good discussion of the topic can be seen in the 'Arsenal of Hypocrisy' video. So I implore you, drop whatever you're doing, grab your favorite beverage, lean back (or forward in this case) and be prepared to spend the next hour watching this excellent and startling video by Randy Atkins where Bruce K. Gagnon (who is Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space) and a few others talk about the extreme dangers of the Space Program and the Military Industrial Complex
