Proletkult 7 - BLOW UP THE MOON w/ Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space (Patreon)

This edition of the Antifada sideproject on the paranormal, parapolitical, sci-fi conspiracy theories and space tackles the newest autonomous branch of the US Military: SPACE FORCE.

Is it some Trumpian flight-of-fancy, a Bezos/Musk money grab, or a doomsday plan for astro-nuclear American hegemony? I talk to Bruce K Gagnon, a lifelong activist against the militarization of space, for a perspective on what Space Force is and how to fight back.

Before that, my audio essay "The Plot Against Space," also textually published on the Pluto Books blog.

And listen to the end to hear Breht O'Shea of Rev Left Radio read an excerpt from the introduction of my book I WANT TO BELIEVE: J. Posadas, UFOs, and Apocalypse Communism, now available from major retailers and PlutoBooks.com with a 20% discount using code POSADAS20.
