Space symposium witness in Colorado springs

April 30, 2018 By Bob Kinsey

As the US Space Command likes to call it “The High Frontier” — a reference to the US Frontier that needs to be conquered and dominated just like we did in the old West. The melding of the NASA space exploration with US corporations building the technology at your expense is a big pimple on the US budget. That’s right — you pay for it and all the surveillance, targeting and delivery systems that your are sold with the slogans, “Keep America Great”, MAGA, Keep America Safe, Rebuild the Military, Mission to Mars, and frosted over with a secrecy regime that keeps you from knowing what is really going on. Meanwhile, homelessness, unemployment, health care costs, crumbling infrastructure, and failure to address climate change (even denying it after NASA documents it) infect the body politic. O you Masters of War.

On Monday, May 7, Citizens Project will co-host a forum, “Media Manipulation: This is Your Brain on Bots and Trolls,” along with Pikes Peak Library District and Jody Alyn Consulting. The forum will take place in the Carnegie Room of Penrose Library, 20 N. Cascade. Panel host and featured speaker is Corey Hutchins of Columbia Journalism Review. Citizens Project Executive Director Deb Walker asks that interested attendees RSVP to her at deb@citizensproject.org.

Viewing Trinity Test July 16,1945: "Now we are all Sons of Bitches"

Kenneth BainbridgeDeputy Director Manhatten Project

“Everything I did at Kings Bay was a result of my faith and my commitment to challenge the idols whose only purpose is to destroy human life on an unimaginable scale. I went to Kings Bay to use my body to refuse to bow down to these idols. I went to try to bring attention to the idolatry that it is requiring of our nation and its people. I went in a spirit of prayer and repentance. I went in hope that this witness might invite other people to reflect on the obscenity and on the idolatry that it is before God.”

Liz McAlisterKings Bay Protestor 2019

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending he sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." --spoken to the American Society of Newspaper Editors 1953

Dwight EisenhowerUS President 1953-1961

We are prone to self-righteousness if we call ourselves peacemakers, and yet do not perceive how the peace issue cuts through all the economic and social issues that we often try to keep separate. If the race for nuclear arms is encouraged by our fear of losing the affluent ways of life that we have taken for granted, then we must see how our fears and desires have left so many other human beings naked and hungry.

Malsolm Warford"The Church's Role in a Nuclear Age

A world free of the threat of nuclear weapons is necessarily a world devoid of nuclear weapons…. Nuclear weapons pose an intolerable threat to humanity and our habitat…. Others subscribe to Churchill’s assertion ‘Peace is the sturdy child of terror.’ For me, such a peace is a wretched offspring, a peace that condemns us to live under a dark cloud of perpetual anxiety, a peace that codifies mankind’s most murderous instincts….The beast must be chained, its soul expunged, its lair laid waste.

General Lee ButlerFormer Commander, Strategic Air Command, April 28, 1996
