Radio based on films produced by Will Griffin for the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space In May and June 2021 Will Griffin released two short films on the recent expansion of nuclear power into Space and on the secrecy surrounding the upgrade of a US radar installation on Norwegian soil.
These two short films are posted on the the website of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. That’s an international organization founded in 1992 with an unbroken record of education and activism on a rarely covered topic, the Weaponization of Space.
For the first film, published on May 6, 2021, Will Griffin writes in his summary: The Pentagon and multinational corporations are privatizing outer space … Laws are being implemented in order to benefit billionaires, compromising decades-long international treaties that say space cannot be owned. American capitalism is colonizing Mars, privatizing asteroids and other celestial bodies
His second film was posted on June 1, 2021. He gave it the title: Dangerous US NATO Expansion in Norway – and his synopsis says: In recent years, the US and NATO have been militarizing the Arctic through Norway as a means to confront Russia. As the Arctic melts away, these powerful nations are competing for dominance in the region as new sea routes are established, building new military bases, and constructing new radars.
Will Griffin is an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, and creator of The Peace Report, an online source for antiwar & nonviolent news for peace & justice.
