Bush Seeks to Block Enemies From Space

By TERENCE HUNT
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes.

Bush also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.

The provisions were contained in the first revision of U.S. space policy in nearly 10 years. Bush's order, signed more than a month ago, was not publicly announced although unclassified details of his decision were posted on the Web site of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

"Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy says. "In order to increase knowledge, discovery, economic prosperity, and to enhance the national security, the United States must have robust, effective, and efficient space capabilities."

The policy says that space systems should have rights of passage without interference, and that the United States would view any deliberate interference with its space systems as an infringement on its rights.

"The United States considers space capabilities -- including the ground and space segments and supporting links -- vital to its national interests," the policy said.

"Consistent with this policy, the United States will: preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space; dissuade or deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so; take those actions necessary to protect its space capabilities; respond to interference; and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests."

The White House said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space.

"This policy emphasizes that the United States is committed to peaceful uses of space by all nations and that space systems enjoy the right of free passage," National Security Council spokesman Frederick Jones said.

He said the United States maintains the right of self-defense and the protection of its interests and assets in space.

"Protection of space assets does not imply some sort of forceful action," he said. "There is a broad range of ways to protect our space capabilities" such as system hardening, encryption, maneuvering and other methods.

14. That's disturbing, to put it mildly. Is this supposed to imply the man
in the sky protecting us all? I.e., God? Lunacy run amok.

21. What,,
Edited on Wed Oct-18-06 02:38 PM by undergroundpanther
Do you think Full Spectrum Domination means?

It means to dominate the entire world,fully..Dominate all the people,all the culture,all the wealth,all the futures,dreams,hopes, sexualities,thoughts, the creations,labor, time,the bodies,hearts and minds,of every living creature,and to control every aspect of everything, that exists on this planet totally in every way that gets results,and dominates the"other"into submission to themselves. It is power for powers sake..

In other words these tyrants seek to become the LORD your God who holds the world in his hand.To have it and possess it love it or destroy it..And none will dare raise his eyes up against them.. THAT kind of domination.

If a plasma beam,a biological germ cannister,nerve gas, or a bomb sent to you,from some remote military installation by computer from far across the globe,by a obedient pee on who obeys his masters,far away from any accountability to anyone,to the exact coordinates of your house and it would hit you.. and you KNEW this,was inevitable and you had no forewarning,you just knowing that if you defied the "Lords" you, your loved ones, your pets,all that you are and everything that you loved ,your very existence would be vaporized, or you all would be injured with torturous wounds,afflicted with bio engineered sicknesses...All before the words Bush Sucks ass..fully left your lips or was finished in your keystrokes,would you bow down to these monsters than?

That is what full spectrum domination means and that is what these tyrant pigs really desire because they are psychopaths,you cannot negotiate with them, you cannot pretend they give a crap,and they have no conscience to feel shame guilt or remorse about what or whom they destroy or why.They want to win and make the world their vassals and nothing to reach that goal is off limits, not torture, not warrant-less wiretapping,not microwave weapons, not bio-weapons,not destroying the Constitution itself,crashing the economy,wrecking the environment,or using weapons in space to force people to obey.

Remember MAD? Mutually Assured Destruction?

Well if they were willing to blow up America so the commies would not win,well you see how evil they are right there. They will own this planet rule it all or they'll destroy it.
