DEMS DO IT AGAIN - THIS TIME ON "MISSILE 
DEFENSE"




 The people in the Czech Republic (photo above from a recent 
protest in Prague) are overwhelmingly opposed to the coming U.S. deployment of a 
Star Wars radar in their country. Similarly the people of Poland oppose the U.S. 
plan to put ten "missile defense" interceptors in their country. Both countries 
now have right-wing governments who have crawled into the U.S. "orbit" and are 
ignoring their own people's demands.

On September 13 Central European 
Social Democrat parties (Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia 
and Slovenia) met and rejected the U.S. deployment plan saying it threatened to 
bring about a new arms race.

But of course there was a fly in the 
ointment. A visiting senior U.S. Democrat said her party was behind the 
project.

"We wanted to come today to make very clear that we are very 
supportive... of missile defense," Ellen Tauscher, chairwoman of the House Armed Services 
Strategic Forces Subcommittee, said after meeting Czech Deputy Prime Minister 
Alexandr Vondra in 
Prague.

She added that she hoped negotiations [that would seal the 
deployment deal] with the Czechs and the Poles would be concluded 
soon.

Rep. Tauscher (from Walnut Creek, California) is a tool of 
the military industrial complex. Just a few months ago she led an effort to 
reject the recommendations of a House of Representatives sub-committee that had 
suggested serious cuts in the "Missile Defense Agency" research and development 
budget for fiscal year 2008.

She, and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA), restored 
$150 million to Pentagon boost-phase missile defense programs, $48 million for 
future missile defense systems - including space sensors, $12 million more for 
sea-based sensors, and language to allow $160 million for the highly 
controversial European missile defense plan.

Her job in attending the 
meeting of Central European Social Democrats last week was a preemptive strike. 
The Democrats, who are likely to take the White House back in 2008, are letting 
the world know that they are committed partners to the Bush program of expanded 
U.S. global military empire and development of U.S. preemptive first-strike 
technology. The Democratic Party, under the control of the military industrial 
complex, are out trying to damper down any opposition to "missile defense". They 
have essentially become the agents, or sales people, for the weapons 
industry.

Russia knows that the U.S. is out to militarily surround them 
with these deployments in Poland and the Czech Republic in addition to the 
present campaign of NATO expansion into Central and Eastern 
Europe.

Vladimir Putin's recent comments should be heard by everyone 
paying attention to this new powder keg issue: "Once the missile defense system 
is put in place it will work automatically with the entire nuclear capability of 
the U.S. It will be an integral part of the U.S. nuclear capability....An arms 
race is unfolding. Was it we who withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile 
Treaty? We already told [Bush] two years ago, don't do this; you don't need to 
do this. What are you doing? You are destroying the system of international 
security....Of course we have to respond to it."

I can tell you what the 
U.S. is doing. It is creating a new arms race that will benefit the aerospace 
industry. The goal is to bring on-line new high-tech space weapons technology 
that will ultimately give the Pentagon the ability to "control and dominate" 
space and the Earth below. And the Democrats? Their job is to help keep the 
program funded and alive. They continue to show who their real masters are. They 
do not work for you and I.

The Democrats are working for the interests of 
corporate globalization. The New World Order has fully taken control of both 
political parties in the U.S. 

If we want to stop a new and deadly arms 
race the peace movement in the U.S. must abandon any illusion that the 
Democrats will save us in 2008.
