Hi Clinton:

Thanks for the email. I'm so very glad to hear that you enjoy my articles. Sorry for the tardy response. I hope I'm not too late.

I believe we are already deeply involved in a space race with a group of anti-West and anti-American countries led by Russia, China and Iran. Therefore, it is imperative that the U.S. maintain its technological edge over this evil group of countries. They are gathering their strength to confront the U.S. economically, militarily and politically.

The development of a space corp may initially result in an increase in the number of people serving in the U.S. armed forces, but over time the novelty would wear off, given the enormous training and long-term commitment involved. I also cannot see the U.S. or its adversaries putting an army in space -- too costly. Instead, killer U.S. satellites will do battle with Chinese satellites. China, Russia and Iran will try to wipe out America's GPS leaving U.S. commanders "blind" in the field. At that time, all three countries will attempt to use their numerical superiority to overwhelm our overextended Middle East forces. The end result could be a world of chaos. A space war is only part of a larger picture, but as you have already surmised, an important one.

Its funny, I'm writing an article right now on the idea of China's global strategy and the true, unspoken goals of the authoritarian Beijing regime. When it comes out, I forward it to you. Fell free to email or call me with any other questions at 215-574-6422.

Take care.

Fred
