This year marks 25 years of resistance to ICBM testing and the
militarism of space at Vandenberg Air Force Base. In March
1983, massive protests and hundreds of arrests greeted the announcement
of MX (“Peacekeeper”) missile testing. For twenty-
five years nuclear capable ICBM missiles have been tested
at Vandenberg in violation of international laws and U.S. treaty
obligations. Vandenberg is also home to the National Missile
Defense program (aka “Star Wars”). The NMD program, a
costly $240 billion boondogle, is regarded by most scientific
experts as unworkable. Yet it is the only weapon system ever to
be deployed without resonable successful testing. Vandenberg
also hosts the Joint Space Operations Center, which coordinates
the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with the “drug
war” in Colombia and U.S. covert operations worldwide. Please
join us to commemorate 25 years of resistance at Vandenberg.
