Golden Dome

Global Network Statement On Golden Dome

June 6, 2025 Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. , , , ,
Trump calls it a ‘layered defense shield, safeguarding the American homeland with unwavering precision, ensuring the security and resilience of our nation’. Trump shared few specifics in the May 20 news conference, saying “Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they are launched from space.” Early cost estimates from Congressional sources range from $550 billion to trillions over 20 years. Trump wants a $25 billion down payment for the program in 2025. Canada is being brought into Golden Dome likely to help pay for it. We should expect that NATO members will also be hit up to help cover the massive costs.

Washington’s ‘Golden Dome’ – Multi-Trillion Tax Dollar Heist At Best

June 5, 2025 Brian Berletic, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
During President Trump’s announcement on May 21, 2025, it was claimed the Golden Dome will consist of technology deployed across land, sea, and space capable of intercepting hypersonic, ballistic, and advanced cruise missiles, “even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they are launched from space.” Former-US President Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” program (also known as the Strategic Defense Initiative) was repeatedly cited during the announcement. That program sought to use space-based weapons to void the doctrine of “mutually assured destruction” allowing the US to conduct a nuclear or non-nuclear first strike on another nation and avoid what had otherwise been an inevitable nuclear retaliation that would destroy both nations in the process.

Radar Plans May Allow United States To Dominate Space From Wales

Plans to build a space radar station could allow US President Donald Trump to dominate space from Wales, campaigners have said. More than 15,000 people have signed an online petition opposing Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to build 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire. Jim Scott, a spokesman for the People Against Radar Campaign (PARC), said "provoking China" by supporting US military aims "where there is no rational imperative to do so" would be a bad idea. The UK government said Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) was vital to track objects in deep space and protect satellite and communication and navigation networks.

The Golden Dome Is Nothing More Than A Massive Corporate Welfare Program

The Trump administration is reviving previous administrations' plans to build a missile defense system in space. They are calling it the "Golden Dome," similar to Israel's Iron Dome. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it will cost trillions of dollars at a time when the United States has a record-high national debt and is failing to meet domestic needs. Clearing the FOG speaks with Bruce Gagnon, the coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space, about the history of the US project to control space and mine its resources in defiance of United Nations treaties and who will benefit. He also describes resistance efforts around the world and what people in the United States can do to fight it.

Despite Anti-Trump Mandate, Canada’s New PM Pushes ‘Golden Dome’

June 2, 2025 Nora Loreto, Truthout. , , , , ,
For just $61 billion, Canada can get in on Donald Trump’s latest scheme: a space-based North American missile defense system that Trump has called the “Golden Dome.” Trump posted the amount of money he would expect Canada to pay on his Truth Social account on May 27 — the same day that King Charles was in Ottawa to read the Speech from the Throne to open a new session of Parliament. Trump told Canadians that if Canada became the 51th state, the cost of being part of the program would drop to zero — something that Global News reports that the Prime Minister’s Office had not heard from Trump. Trump’s plan revives a version of Ronald Reagan’s spaced-based missile plan, popularly known as “Star Wars.”

Trump’s Golden Dome: Star Wars Is Back

May 25, 2025 Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes. , , , , , ,
Today the Military Industrial Complex is marching towards world dominance through space technology on behalf of global corporate interests. To understand how and why the space program will be used to fight all future wars on Earth from space, it's important to understand how the public has been misled about the origins and true purpose of the space program. Trump calls for a renewal of Ronald Reagan's 1980's vision of SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), popularly called Star Wars. The program is a massive boondoggle in the works. Early estimates are that Trump's 'Golden Dome' would cost from $500 billion to trillions of dollars.
