If you recall, Reagan proposed it first as the Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI). Predictably, the Left reacted immediately and a media campaign was
underway to discredit the program as ridiculous and too expensive. That's
when somebody, I don't recall who, tagged it "Star Wars." Maybe some of it
was implemented, but essentially it stalled, was dead in the water, because
of media ridicule. Interestingly, now we're hearing members of the left bring
it up again, calling it a pretty good idea.
I guess it makes a difference when you know for sure that you have Russian
and Chinese (and God knows who else's) missles aimed at you.

My opinion is that we have a system in place, it may not be as good as what
was predicted by Reagan but it is there. Incidentally the REAL thing that
was funded with the "black" money used ostensibly for the "Star Wars" defense
initiative was NON-LETHAL weapons and associated "mind affecting" technology,
IMO, of course.

and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
