The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

PHONES TO DRONES



Global Network board member Loring Wirbel (Citizens for Peace in Space) speaks during Keep Space for Peace Week forum in Colorado Springs.

Citizens for Peace in Space and the ACLU sponsored a forum at Penrose Library called "From Drones to Phones high tech warriors break the law" on Tuesday October 8, 2013.

This is part 1 in which Loring Wirbel explains the budgets and technology involved.

"The U.S. intelligence gathering apparatus now includes civilians throughout the world as potential enemies. Everyone is considered a possible obstacle to having the most efficient "kill chain" possible."
"Full Spectrum war knows no bounds." - Bill Suzlman

"The forum stressed that many lesser-known intelligence and military agencies as big or bigger than NSA - National Reconnaissance Office, Joint Special Operations Command, Cyber Command - remain secret with missions that are just as scary. They need to brought into the light." - Loring Wirbel
