Pentagon's space 'control & domination' developments endanger Earth

• Keep Space for Peace Week this year will be held October 3-10. We encourage global efforts to educate and activate the public to speak out opposing US 'control and domination' of space on behalf of corporate capital. The current 'space race' is having major impact on Earth's environment as increasing rocket launches are releasing highly toxic pollutants into the atmosphere and punching a bigger hole in the ozone layer that protects us all. You can see space week events already listed here  and you can list your events here. 
• Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) called President Trump twice Thursday, urging him to launch strikes against the Houthis as the Iran-backed group closed in on a vital Red Sea chokepoint, two US officials told Axios. Trump declined. This latest offensive has brought a sweeping firestorm over West Asia particularly as it was coupled with an unprecedented strike on the Saudi Arabian East-West oil pipeline which was heralded as being the US and its allies’ key trump card in overcoming Iran’s blockade of Hormuz.  The US has confirmed that the Saudi East-West oil pipeline has been damaged. As a result, 7 million barrels of oil per day cannot be moved. This demonstrates that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be replaced. Everyone has assumed that it was the Houthis who hit the pipeline. CNN reported that it may have been an Iraqi resistance group that was behind the job, while Al Jazeera reports that Saudi Arabia has likewise confirmed this. Reuters writes that an Iraqi commander was dismissed after it was “confirmed” the drones came from Iraq. 

• Ansar Allah is cleaning house and slowly surrounding cities and areas where the Saudis are still embedded toward the East and on the Saudi/Yemeni border. These happen to be oil rich areas. Saudis called Iranian leaders and asked them to get the Yemeni’s to stop their attacks. Iran said in no uncertain terms ‘quit the Yemen blockade and quit your war – we do not speak for the Yemenis and we will not be your message carrier’. The sheer amount of US weaponry that Ansar Allah took from the Saudi mercenaries, displayed on countless photos and videos, is a great surprise for Americans. 
• Saudi Arabia is asking for a massive World Bank loan as their almost non-existent oil exports is now hurting, and Qatar is just about out of its ability to export LNG because of physical damage to plant. 

• Simplicius: What we are now apparently seeing is a coordinated campaign by Iran to put the final stranglehold on US and its allies. It cannot be mere coincidence that days after Iran had launched its largest attack on US assets in months and announced the wide expansion of its own blockade of Hormuz, suddenly its Houthi proxies have moved in to deal a crippling blow to the US axis. The Houthis have now reportedly captured the entire critical Bab al Mandab strait area of the Red Sea, giving a total chokehold to Iran and its proxies over a massive chunk of global shipping. Chief negotiator and spokesman Mohammed Abdusalam (Abdulsalam) stated: “There is no closure of Bab al-Mandab as some are suggesting…[it's  limited] to a maritime blockade that only affects the Saudi side.” 

• US Navy Secretary Hung Cao in an interview: ‘The Iranians blew the hell out of Bahrain. There is no place for the Navy to dock. We have a task force looking at whether to abandon the facility [NSA Bahrain].’ During Iran’s latest September 9 strikes on US’s Jordan air base a slew of US aircraft were in fact damaged in the attacks. One A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft was struck and lost a wing. Roughly eight F-15s sustained light damage. We know for a fact that more craft were damaged than they’re admitting to because photos of damaged helicopters being trucked out had already leaked. Now it’s clear Iran and its forces are gaining critical leverage and strategic initiative over the region. 

• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told an Indian media outlet that an agreement between Iran and Oman on a joint route through the Strait of Hormuz will be signed on Monday in the presence of the foreign ministers of the Arab Gulf states and subsequently notified to the International Maritime Organization.

• Iran’s 123-megawatt G15 gas turbine unit at the Mobin Energy power plant, which had sustained significant damage during the 40-day war, has been fully brought back into operation. 

• US Energy Secretary: There are no plans for uranium enrichment in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis didn't get any help from Trump with Yemen. The Saudis barely have any oil exports because of Trump's war on Iran. The Saudis have no hope of getting F-35s. The Saudis have no hope of building out their own enrichment plants. The 'Mecca pact' abandoned MBS. Great reminder to all other nations that you’re all alone when push comes to shove. The US will abandon you. And paper agreements are worthless compared to complex geopolitical relations and power. Unless you’re ‘Israel’, you’re on your own. 
• Saudi Arabia has started to use their most powerful assets against Yemen. The Saudis purchased Chinese DF-15A missiles in the past.  

• In their joint declaration, BRICS summit (held in New Delhi) participants spoke out against unilateral sanctions that violate international law. BRICS also condemned the violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and called on Israel to withdraw its troops from its territory. Other key points: BRICS expressed deep concern over the US tightening unilateral blockade against Cuba and its adverse impact on the economy, energy supplies and humanitarian situation. It reaffirmed its commitment to combating all forms of terrorism. BRICS voiced alarm over deliberate attacks on peaceful facilities [in Iran] under IAEA safeguards. The group stressed the need to strengthen energy security. BRICS underscored the necessity of ensuring the peaceful use of space technologies.

• Parc Against Darc: The US Space Force has selected Lake Kickapoo, Texas, as the preferred location for the third and final site of the 'Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability', or DARC. The Texas installation will complete a network of three advanced ground-based space sensors located in Wales and Australia. Once fielded, the network is designed to provide continuous space domain awareness and uninterrupted, overlapping coverage of geostationary orbit. The DARC radars, as tall and wide as multi-story buildings, would cumulatively produce radiation so powerful that studies show the array would undoubtedly have the capacity to be unsafe for nearby human residential habitation. DARC, a space scanning system the US wants to use to identify and then attack other nations’ satellites in space, is not just the latest sabre-rattling project aimed at space expansionism which Washington is trying to palm Pembrokeshire, Wales off with. The destruction of 'enemy satellites' could easily lead to a deadly orbital chain reaction-induced cloud of space debris so huge it could prevent humanity from going back to space for potentially decades.                
• Stop the War Machine, Albuquerque, NM: Maven is a Palantir software perfected in the Israel colonial war on Palestine resulting in a techno genocide.  As we have had a recent focus on stopping the NDAA merger of Zionism with our Pentagon, it appears a real time integration has already taken place.  So who will be the targets for this advanced use of Maven?  Politically it will be aimed at anti-fascist, anti-ice, pro-democracy and movements for national sovereignty.  An important point is that the backbone for Maven are all the data centers being constructed worldwide and the satellites which link all this into what is a series of global kill chains integrated into AI systems like Claude.  So, a parallel full spectrum war for control, protection and who can use satellites is developing rapidly along side the ground wars. Human rights and needs should be the product of technology not more war and domination.
