"STAR WARS RETURNS," a video documentary exposing how the Bush administration is moving to make
space a new arena of war, in violation of the intent of international
law, has just been released by EnviroVideo.
The documentary is being distributed in the U.S. and around the world. "STAR WARS RETURNS" is
narrated and was written by investigative reporter and journalism
Professor Karl Grossman, directed and edited by Emmy Award-winner Steve Jambeck and produced by Joan Flynn.
It presents U.S. military documents setting forth U.S. plans to "control space" and from
space "dominate" the earth below. It reveals the multi-billion dollar
U.S. development program now underway to produce space-based laser
weapons, and that far more than "missile defense" is involved. It also details the
international opposition to the U.S. Star Wars program.
"STAR WARS RETURNS" explores the recently issued report of
the Space Commission chaired by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld which
calls for U.S. "power projection in, from and through space" and
declares: "In the coming period the U.S. will conduct operations to,
from, in and through space in support of its national interests both on
earth and in space."
U.S. Senator Bob Smith, who wrote the legislation establishing the Rumsfeld Space Commission, asserts in "STAR
WARS RETURNS" about U.S. "control" of space: "It is our manifest
destiny. You know we went from the East Coast to the West Coast of the
United States of America settling the continent and they call that
manifest destiny and the next continent if you will, the next frontier,
is space and it goes on forever."
Others appearing in "STAR WARS RETURNS" are Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network
Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space; Rear Admiral Eugene Carroll
(USN, ret.), vice president of the Center for Defense Information;
Congressman Dennis Kucinich; physicist Dr. Vandana Shiva of India; Bill
Sulzman, director of Citizens for Peace in Space; Dr. Michio Kaku,
professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York;
editor Loring Wirbel; and Regina Hagen, a Global Network director.
Also interviewed is Craig Eisendrath who as a U.S. State Department officer was central in
drafting the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 the intent of which the U.S. is
now preparing to violate, charges Eisendrath in "STAR WARS RETURNS." It
is the basic international law on space, ratified by most countries of
the world, and sets space aside for "peaceful purposes."
EnviroVideo has produced 175 television programs including the award-winning documentary "NUKES
IN SPACE: THE NUCLEARIZATION AND WEAPONIZATION OF THE HEAVENS."
