Subject: (abolition-usa) Star Wars, Nader, and imperialism

Dear Friends,
Here's some food for thought below.  As we battle to slow down and reverse
the outrageous juggernaut for missile defense, let us try to point out that
it's not about defense--its about "dominating and controlling the military
use of space to protect US interests and investments"--in the words of the
US Space Command's Vision 2020 document.  You can print it out at
http://www.spacecom.af.mil/usspace/index.htm (click on Vision 2020). I urge
that you forward copies of it to your elected leaders and ask them if this
is what they think America should be about in the 21st Century.  Also, does
anyone seriously believe that we won't have competition in space from
Russia and China?  Do you think they will give us free reign to rule the
world?  That's the same kind of thinking that thought we could monopolize
the secret of the bomb--we all know how long that lasted!!  Let's prevent
an arms race in space.  Keep that last frontier for peace--and don't let
them get away with calling it "missile defense".  Alice Slater

Subject: The Nader Campaign and the Future of U.S. Left Electoral Politics

Complete article at http://www.monthlyreview.org/201editr.htm

The unlikely postelection contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush,
     which ultimately led to the anointing of Bush as president by the
     Republican majority on the US Supreme Court (despite the fact that
   Bush received fewer popular votes than Gore both in the United States
     as a whole and most likely in Florida as well--the state that gave
       Bush his electoral college win), has tended to erase all other
   developments associated with the election. But all of this should not
    cause us to forget that the Ralph Nader Green Party campaign for the
    presidency was arguably the most extraordinary phenomenon in US left
    politics in many years. On election day he drew nearly three million
        votes, representing about 3 percent of the vote. Even former
    Vice-President Henry Wallace did not fare so well in his third-party
      run for the presidency in 1948, the last progressive third-party
     presidential campaign of this nature and magnitude. Although exit
     polls show that Nader received few racial minority votes (a major
    weakness of his campaign), he nonetheless drew his strongest support
    from those without a college education, those with incomes less than
        thirty thousand dollars a year, and those without full-time
employment. Until the intense scare campaign instigated by the
      Democrats in the final two weeks before the election, Nader was
            getting as much as 7 percent in some tracking polls.

     Nader ran quite far to the left on issue after issue; this was no
     warmed-over version of mainstream liberal Democratic politics. The
     Green platform was an antineoliberal progressive platform that any
      socialist could support openly. At the same time, Nader enjoyed
      tremendous and enthusiastic crowds on the campaign trail, often
       appearing before paying crowds that ranged from ten to fifteen
    thousand with hardly any advance work. Were there no public opinion
    polls, one who merely watched the size and nature of crowd responses
    to the candidates on the campaign trail might have thought Nader the
    likely winner or at least a strong contender for victory. Moreover,
     these crowds were dominated by young people. Such a response would
               have been unthinkable one or two decades ago.

   Nader was the best-suited and arguably the only feasible candidate to
     make a progressive third-party run in 2000. He came of age in the
   1960s when progressive political figures had some opportunity to gain
   exposure in the media culture; he has long been a household name. (As
    Nader notes, with the rightward shift of our political landscape and
the hypercommercialism of our media culture, serious progressive
      critics of the status quo have had far less opportunity to gain
    national exposure in the past two decades, unless they are political
     humorists like Michael Moore or people who become celebrities for
    other reasons and then discuss politics, like Susan Sarandon.) He is
      also highly regarded for a list of accomplishments in the public
   interest that is nothing short of stunning. Nader turned to electoral
      politics only when it became clear that the degree of corporate
   domination over both parties made the sort of public interest work he
   did nearly impossible to pursue with any hope of success. Nader is not
    a socialist, but he is a principled democrat who has the courage to
   call for sweeping reforms in the political economy when it is apparent
       that corporate domination and class inequality are undermining
      democracy. Nader spoke brilliantly in plain language to everyday
     Americans from a range of backgrounds about the need for sweeping
           structural reform, a lost art among many on the left.

      The issue that was the foundation of the Nader campaign was his
   opposition to the World Trade Organization (WTO), North American Free
   Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the entirety of the global procapitalist
   trade, investment, and regulatory system. Unlike nationalist opponents
     of the WTO like Pat Buchanan, Nader's opposition was on democratic
grounds: these agencies were not subject to popular control in the
   United States or elsewhere and were therefore illegitimate. Moreover,
    Nader was and is arguably the world's foremost expert on exactly how
     these institutions of global capitalism are generating disastrous
   results across the planet for workers, consumers, and the environment.
   Nader and the Greens also favored deep cuts in the US military budget
   and apparatus and opposed US material support for reactionary regimes
   and policies around the world. Nader, who drew 19 percent of the total
    Muslim vote (72 percent of which went to Bush), declared that there
        will be no peace in the Middle East "without justice for the
   Palestinians." In sum, Nader and the Greens offered a progressive and
        nonimperialist foreign policy that was decidedly outside the
       "bipartisan consensus" that is almost never debated in the US
                              electoral arena.

    This is a point that merits consideration because the discussion of
    the Nader campaign, even on the left, has focused almost entirely on
    his critique of the domestic imbalance of power, giving very slight
   attention the international aspects. The United States is the dominant
   imperial power in the world and this is the central unspoken truth of
    our times. In the global capitalist order, the US state has a number
    of responsibilities: to keep the system functioning; to control the
underlying populations; to safeguard the United States as the center
    of the international financial system; to maintain the United States
    (and, specifically, US capitalists/corporations) in the top perch in
   the imperialist pecking order; and to prevent countries from breaking
       away from the system of global controls. For these reasons, in
    addition to domestic pressure from the military-industrial complex,
      the United States maintains, by a very wide margin, the world's
   largest military, though it has no rival whatsoever in any traditional
      sense. Although the wider foreign policy implications of Nader's
       campaign were almost never reported in the media, they clearly
               represented a threat to the global status quo.

    Indeed, Nader the candidate never got the opportunity to communicate
    these or any other positions to the great mass of Americans because
      his campaign was absolutely butchered in the news media. Nader's
      coverage in the New York Times resembled, in some respects, the
     coverage Andrei Sakharov got from Pravda and Izvestia back in the
     1970s. This should be no surprise but it was sobering nonetheless.
   Without gobs of money to purchase TV advertising--the lingua franca of
    US politics--or, better yet, without the sort of massive grassroots
   operation that could overcome the media blackout, many citizens never
    had any idea that Nader was running vigorously or what his positions
were on the issues he was addressing. (If the winner of the election
   were determined by who spent the least for each of their votes or who
   received the least amount of news coverage per vote, Nader would have
   won in a landslide.) Most of the media attention Nader did receive was
   obsessed with how his candidacy would affect the fortunes of Democrat
      Al Gore. This was true even on the left and among progressives.
      Numerous leftists who supported Nader on the issues opposed his
     candidacy, often with startling bitterness, because it would take
   votes away from Gore, the "lesser of two evils"--which became a mantra
        to a greater extent than any time since 1968. The 2000 race
   highlighted again how the US electoral laws have a deeply conservative
      and undemocratic bias that increases dramatically the degree of
            difficulty for both third parties and progressives.

     In our view, the Nader campaign was the electoral side of the mass
    organizing that produced the extraordinary demonstrations in Seattle
      in 1999 and in Washington, DC, and at the two national political
       conventions in 2000. As with those demonstrations, there is no
      guarantee that this upsurge in activism will produce a sustained
   movement capable of fundamentally changing the existing order. But we
   believe the evidence suggests that there are new openings for popular
   left organizing in the United States, and that the chance to organize
for progressive electoral candidates is better than at any time in
    memory. It is possible that a left electoral movement can, within a
    generation, become a dominant political force in the nation. It may
   not be an explicitly socialist movement that will invoke the icons of
        the left that MR readers cut their teeth on but it will be a
       progressive anticorporate movement by any measure. There is an
   important and necessary role for the socialist left in this movement.
      The implications of these developments go well beyond the United
      States, in view of the US role as the dominant global capitalist
   power. If a viable prodemocracy, anti-imperialist movement can emerge
    here, it will improve the possibilities dramatically for socialists
                        and progressives worldwide.

NINE DAYS TILL BLAIR SEES BUSH - WRITE NO  STAR WARS NOW

(Apologies for multiple postings - delete the excess copies, but DO pass
this on to all who might be interested)

Dear All who are concerned over NMD/Star Wars:

British prime minister Tony Blair will be visiting President Bush on 23-24
Feb, at Camp David.

That's in nine days.

There is not much time to influence him before he goes.

High on the list of topics they talk about will be NMD/Star Wars.

The position of the UK is absolutely vital for NMD/Star Wars to proceed, as
it requires use of the Fylingdales facility, and the new SBIRS (Space-based
infrared Satellite) facility at Menwith Hill.

There is a possibility that Blair may cave in  to Bush's demands to make
use of these facilities for NMD.

You are therefore urged to write/fax prime minister Tony Blair (especially
if you are in the UK), asking him to strongly oppose national missile
defence during his visit. (Fax number  [phone])

A sample letter is below. Please rewrite/shorten this creatively.

If you are in the US, you are urged to write to President Bush,(Letter
below), asking him not to proceed with NMD/Star Wars.  (Sample Letter
below, also on
http://www.abolition2000.org/action/saynotostarwars.html)


The letter to Tony Blair is based on one on the BASIC website, to all non -
US governments.  You can adapt that letter if you live outside either the
US OR the UK.

1) SUGGESTED LETTER TO TONY BLAIR
Send this if you are outside the US, especially if you are in the UK -
Please customise it creatively

To: Prime Minister Tony Blair, [phone]

Re: Please Convey Opposition to Missile Defence Scheme

Dear Tony Blair,

I am writing to you in view of your forthcoming visit to President Bush on
Feb 23-24.

I urge you to express as strongly as possible the opposition of the UK to
any NMD system, and to refuse use of the Menwith Hill and Fylingdales
facilities and any other UK facilities for this purpose.

The deployment of NMD and TMD (Theater Missile defence) will have serious
implications for the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Russia and China
have made it clear that they will increase their own nuclear offensive
capabilities in order to counter NMD. This will set back attempts to reduce
nuclear weapons severely and may lead to another nuclear arms race.
Serious developments in this direction are already taking place.  China has
additional concerns over the possible use of theatre missile defence  in
Taiwan.

In addition, the deployment of NMD will either completely destroy or
fundamentally weaken the Anti- Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, seen
internationally as the cornerstone of international arms control. This will
have serious consequences for maintaining and strengthening other
international agreements such as Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

NMD has been opposed by a wide range of organisations and groups, ranging
from 354 major NGOs representing millions of people worldwide, to 50 of the
US Nobel prize-winners in physics, to generals and church congregations. It
has also been opposed by every major international grouping represented in
the UN General Assembly.

For all of these reasons, I urge you to use all the diplomatic influence at
your disposal, particularly in your forthcoming visit,  to impress upon the
incoming Bush administration the UK's opposition to the NMD system.

I also urge you to make clear to the Bush administration that your
government will refuse to
cooperate in any way with the NMD scheme, and that the use of The SBIRS
facility at Menwith Hill,Fylingdales, and other UK facilities will not be
permitted for it.

NMD is a scheme that is unlikely ever to work, against a threat that may
never materialize and that, in any case, is better dealt with in other
ways. It will cost billions better spent elsewhere, and will make
further progress toward the total and unequivocal elimination of nuclear
weapons - an objective to which the United States as well as all other
governments are committed - much more difficult, if not impossible.

I therefore urge you to impress on the US government the importance of not
proceeding with NMD, but rather of proceeding with the Bush administrations
other major committments in nuclear arms control , namely deep cuts in
warhead numbers,   and of reductions in alert status of strategic weapons
systems.

(Signed)

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER,  1-202-456-2883,

[phone],

RE: PLEASE CANCEL MISSILE DEFENCE SCHEME

Dear President George Bush, Secretary for Defence Rumsfeld, Security
Adviser Condoleeza Rice, and Secretary of State Colin Powell,

I am writing to you to convey my dismay that your administration may
proceed with an enlarged version of  the ill-concieved 'National Missile
Defence' ('Star Wars') scheme.

The deployment of NMD will make it much harder, if not impossible, to
achieve vital arms control objectives. Russia and China have made it clear
that they will increase their own nuclear offensive capabilities in order
to counter NMD. This will set back attempts to reduce nuclear weapons
severely and may lead to another nuclear arms race.

National Missile Defence in its current form,  has failed two out of its
three operational tests and has been critiqued by the US scientific
establishment as fundamentally flawed.

More importantly, Russia and China as well as the US's own allies have made
it clear that they regard the preservation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty as paramount.   The ABM treaty cannot be modified in a way that
would allow the deployment of NMD, and the US should not walk away from it.

NMD has been opposed by groups ranging from 354 major NGOs representing
millions of people worldwide, to 50 of the US's Nobel prizewinners in
physics, to generals and church people.

Non-US governments  worldwide,  including close US allies, have strongly
opposed NMD.

NMD is a scheme  that is unlikely ever to work, against a threat that may
never materialize and that is in any case better dealt with in other ways.
It will cost billions better spent elsewhere, and will make further
progress toward the total and unequivocal elimination of nuclear weapons -
an objective to which the US as well as all other governments are committed
- - much more difficult if not impossible.

I therefore urge you to drop the NMD proposal and to focus your efforts on
the vital objectives of deep reductions in warhead numbers, and reductions
in the alert status of weapons, to which you committed yourself during your
campaign.

PRESS RELEASE

HMG [Her Majesty's Government] and the United Sates Government are pleased
to announce that the European Relay Ground Station (RGS-E) for the new Space
Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) will be established at RAF Menwith Hill.  The
RGS-E will provide additional relay capility of SBIRS, and its establishment
at RAF Menwith Hill will capitalise on the existing infrastructure.  HMG
welcomes the opportunity to strengthen US/UK co-operation in this field.

SBIRS is the world-wide satellite-based system providing early warning of
ballistic missile launches.  It has been developed to upgrade the ageing US
Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite system.

Construction will include a one-storey 10,000 square feet concrete and steel
building adjacent to and architecturally blending with the existing
building.  Up to four new radomes approximately 60 feet in height and
similar to the existing radomes [there are now 29] will also be required.
Local planning consent will be sought in the usual way.  ENDS

PLEDGE DRIVE ASKS SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TO RENOUNCE WORK ON NUCLEAR,
OTHER WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION; INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO BE LAUNCHED
THIS WEEK AT THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE
MEETING IN SAN FRANCISCO

************
Press Conference With Nuclear "Watchdog" Organizations and Scientists
to be Held Saturday, February 17, 10 AM at the San Francisco Press Club,
312 Sutter Street, S.F., (note new location)

************

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Leaders of organizations that monitor the U.S. nuclear
weapons complex are asking academics, students and technical professionals
attending this week's meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS) to sign a Scientists' and Engineers' Pledge
vowing "never to participate in the design, development, testing,
production targeting or use of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons..."

"The time has come for scientists to pledge themselves to renounce work on
weapons of mass destruction," declared Dr. Joseph Rotblat, the Nobel
Laureate and physicist who left the Manhattan Project for reasons of
conscience. Rotblat is one of the initial signers of the Scientists' and
Engineers' Pledge.

"I fully endorse your campaign... At a time when science plays such a
powerful role in the life of society, when the whole destiny of mankind may
hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all
scientists to be fully conscious of that role and conduct themselves
accordingly. I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their
responsibility to humanity," Rotblat wrote to the four organizations
launching the pledge campaign, echoing his 1995 acceptance speech for the
Nobel Peace Prize.

The Pledge sponsors will be staffing a booth at the AAAS meeting in San
Francisco.

The organizations originating the Pledge campaign are: Natural Resources
Defense Council (Washington, DC), Los Alamos Study Group (Santa Fe, NM),
Tri-Valley CAREs (Livermore, CA) and Western States Legal Foundation
(Oakland, CA). "This is part of a multi-faceted, international campaign to
discourage people from working on nuclear weapons," explained Greg Mello,
director of the Los Alamos Study Group, which monitors the Department of
Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons design labs in New Mexico. "The so-called
'Stockpile Stewardship' program at the labs is nuclear weapons work, no
matter how it's disguised," Mello added.


"Scientist and engineers today need to know that the U.S. nuclear weapons
laboratories are busy developing new, destabilizing nuclear weapons,
including earth penetrating 'mini-nukes' and re-designed, more accurate
long-range warheads," said Marylia Kelley, executive director of Tri-Valley
CAREs, a Livermore, CA-based "watchdog" group that monitors activities at
the DOE's nearby Lawrence Livermore National Lab.

"The effort of these labs to recast their work on nuclear weapons as
'nuclear weapons science' does not change the essential fact that these
institutions are continuing to develop nuclear weapons," declared
Christopher Paine, senior researcher for NRDC's nuclear program.

The groups originating this Pledge campaign will combine educational
activities to raise awareness of the guises under which nuclear weapons
work hides, including in the U.S. through its "Stockpile Stewardship"
program, with a clarion call to spark the consciences of scientists and
engineers. In addition to the Pledge, the campaign will utilize giant
billboards and direct outreach to University and laboratory researchers.

Dr. Julian Borrill, an astrophysicist at DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National
Lab and board member of the Western States Legal Foundation in Oakland, CA,
summed up the moral responsibility of today's technical professionals: "As
scientists and engineers, we are in a unique position to bring about the
demise of weapons of mass destruction. These weapons cannot exist without
us -- we design them, we manufacture them, we test them, we maintain them
and we deploy them. We make them possible, and, if we choose to, we can
make them impossible." Dr. Borrill will be speaking at the press conference
Saturday.

Other scientists joining the public interest groups in person at the press
conference Saturday morning include Dr. Charles Schwartz, Professor of
Physics Emeritus at U.C. Berkeley and Dr. Andreas Toupadakis, a nuclear
chemist who left the DOE labs last year upon the discovery that his
research was being used for weapons. Dr. Zia Mian, a prominent research
scientist at Princeton University, will join by phone.

Initial signers of the Pledge include, Dr. Joseph Rotblat, Nobel Laureate;
Dr. Michio Kaku, Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics, City
University of New York; Dr. Charles Schwartz, Professor of Physics
Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley;  Dr. Andreas Toupadakis,
former Staff Research Scientist, Los Alamos National Laboratory and
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Dr. Pervez Hodbhoy, Visiting
Professor, Theory Group for Quarks, Hadrons and Nuclei, University of
Maryland;  and, Dr. Zia Mian, Research Scientist, Princeton University.

                                                                -- 30 --

A copy of the Scientist' and Engineers' Pledge to Renounce Weapons of Mass
Destruction will be posted on the sponsoring groups' web sites. I believe
it is already up on www.lasg.org and www.wslfweb.org. It will be on our web
site very soon! --Marylia
