On June 18th, Trump ordered the formation of a sixth branch of the US Military: the US Space Force. Although the executive order does not give the directive for the formal creation of the Space Force, the president made it clear that he wishes to consolidate US Space operations under a new branch of the military. This idea, however, is only begging for international conflict and furthers American empire building. Adding another branch of an already bloated military will only harm liberty in the US and could bankrupt us.
Taxpayers Cannot Afford a “Space Force”
The United States is $21 trillion in debt. As of now, the US will run a deficit exceding $1 trillion in the 2018 fiscal year alone. As the government throws the tax payers deeper into debt, the government will be further pressured to steal even more from productive Americans.
Currently, the US is occupying dozens of nations, funnelling billions into maintaining an empire the people does not support, putting our future generations into debt that they will not be able to pay back. This new program will be funded by stolen tax dollars in order to pursue an empire that will only make the government bigger.
The government is also way too big as is. The public sector is crowding out the private sector more and more. Conservatives campaign like libertarians, calling for reductions in the size of the government. But the moment they take office, they immediately promote bigger and more intrusive government. If Trump actually valued making the government smaller, he would abandon this pipe dream and scale back US military operations around the world. In addition, he would pursue a foreign policy of noninterventionism.
The Space Force Would Only Embolden the War Mongers
By initiating this program, Trump is making it clear to the neoconservatives that he supports invading countries for domination, not defense. The Space Force would only make America less safe. This branch of the military would make it clear that the citizens of the United States are inherently subservient and make for good tax cattle. The people must reject this idiotic system of domination. If we truly cared about our soldiers, we would bring them home rather than take them to space. Instead of spending trillions on pursuing empire in space, the US should pursue humility and lead by example.
Empires die when they overextend. Regardless of how strong America may be, it cannot be the world’s police force. To globalize government is to rip people from local sovereignty. The Space Force would only make this preexisting problem far worse. War Mongers would weaponize the Space Force and use it to turn all localities into puppets of US interests. We, as “free Americans,” cannot tolerate this when our foreign entanglements are already far too large.
Get the Government Out of Space
The fact that the government will take a more active role in space will only crowd out the private sector, therefore stunting growth. When the government takes control, they don’t look to benefit their people, they look to extend their territorial influence. When the private sector takes control, they look to the needs of consumers, whereas consumers have the opportunity to disassociate from malevolent businesses.
Rather than allow the government to use space as a weapon of war, we should privatize space, encourage more private firms to seek innovation beyond Earth, thus propelling society into the future. Privatize space. If we do not, the government will take over, making us less safe and less free. Under current government-run technology, the State has the ability to monitor your every move. Do you really want the government to hold a monopoly on humanity’s next frontier? In the last century alone, government has killed more than 200 million people in acts of democide. Imagine the damage they could do if they had control beyond Earth.
In other words, we can’t afford a Space Force, and we most certainly don’t need a Space Force. Such an entity can only be used to create more war and to expand tyranny throughout the US empire. If you support the Space Force, you cannot reasonably claim to support smaller government. It is time for the people of America to stand up to the authoritarian psychopaths that occupy the federal government of the US.

Bahahaha! Oh my what a world we are born into. I wonder if it has always been this way.

The military complex of the US is strong. They have so much money, and so many corporations sucking funds out of the tax base, that it will be very challenging to stop them. The American people need to demand a decrease in the size of the military, not allowing it to continue to expand.
TWO US space forces already exist- that's where plenty of that $21 Trillion has been secretly siphoned off to. A space force isn't a stupid idea at all not only is it essential to the security of our solar system and planet but it's also essentially to establish ourselves in the galactic community.
The premier program is the USN Solar Warden program- this fleet consists of I believe 8 battle groups with interstellar capabilities. The first ships were launched in the 1980's and this force acts as the police force for our solar system keeping track of the MANY various ETs that visit our Sol System- Our Sol System's location has situated us well as a trading hub for this part of our galaxy.
The other space program already in existence is the USAF/DIA's program that isn't interstellar but instead focuses on Earth's orbital space. This force uses the triangular zero gravity ships seen/photographed many times and also has two large orbital space stations that are at least 50 years more advanced than the ISS (merely there for show). I have seen these space stations many times - they are easily visible from the east coast of the US on a clear night and move with the stars but aren't stars at all.
So not only can we afford a Space Force- we already have two and they are essential to our security and the expansion of our species into the heavens to continue our evolution as a species- you'll see as the announcement of the formation of this 'Space Force' was in reality a soft disclosure first step in disclosing the existence of our Space Force.
You may want to do some research on the late William Tompkins- he designed some of the USN's Solar Warden ships- also have a listen to Corey Goode who served in Solar Warden and check out Cosmic Disclosure on Gaia TV. Dr Michael Salla's work may also interest you if you choose to research this topic.
I wonder if anyone ever said to JFK that we couldn't afford the Apollo program? I say humanity can't afford to NOT have a viable Space Force. Don't let your politics interfere with the progression of our species. ETs who have visited us for decades now have advised select humans that we can either have a war based economy or a space based economy- I say we choose space/exploration over war.
Well for starters without the government pursuing military pursuits there would be no one and nothing in space. There also would not be any private space companies, those are all almost 100% government funded and they use government funded launch facilities. Secondly there is a whole lot of stuff in space, what do you think happens to a satellite or space station when it is hit by space junk?
The final frontier.....
did they think that France launched Star Fleet?
