Video of Bruce Gagnon's Speech at Chautauqua, N.Y.

A new one-hour video of a speech by Bruce Gagnon at the Chautauqua Institution on July 4, 2006.

The video, produced by Snowshoe Films, has been created for airing on local cable TV stations and for showing to local groups.

In the talk Gagnon discusses the U.S. occupation of Iraq, the use of space technology to direct modern warfare, Bush's new offensive national space policy directive, and a transformative vision of economic conversion for ending America's addiction to militarism and endless war.

The talk was hosted by the Chautauqua Society for Peace and Social Justice. The video ends with bonus coverage of footage of Gagnon being interviewed on two different radio shows while at Chautauqua.

The video is a report on the space events organized by the Global Network during the World Peace Forum held in Vancouver, Canada in late June.  Filmmaker Eric Herter documented  the various presentations organized by the GN and put together this compilation.  The video is centered around a speech made by well-known Canadian author/activist Mel Hurtig and intersperses presentations by other key space activists from around the world.

Many of the presentations feature graphic illustrations that give insight into how the aerospace industry is today structured, how space technology will be used to give the U.S. "control and domination" of the heavens, examples of what roles particular bases have in the Star Wars scheme, and some illustrations of local resistance.  The video is also designed for local placement on cable access TV stations in your community.
