Star Wars Now! Forget about the George Lucas and Disney Star Wars, as this book tells us about the real “Star Wars.” These events began March
25, 1983, at the height of the Cold War with Russia, when our president,
Ronald Reagan, made a televised speech to this nation proposing a
Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) as a strategy to protect the nation
against Soviet attack. The SDI was nicknamed “Star
Wars” as it involved
space-based weaponry. This was also the first
time that the public spotlight had been shone on the Aharonov-Bohm
effect, which states that when two zero-field scalar wave beams are
crossed, real physical effects can be affected within a distant
interference zone or region. This was the inside joke that was referred
to in the movie Ghostbusters when
the heroes were warned by the Dr. Egon Spengler character when trying to
bring down the Stay Puft marshmallow man with electromagnetic streams
from their energy pistols to “don't cross the streams”. Incidentally,
this movie was loosely based on the work being done at the Stanford
Research Institute (SRI) by physicists Puthoff, Targ, etc., but was
played for laughs, disguising the seriousness of the research and
development work that was actually going on. This 2nd Edition features
a Foreword by Dr. Steven M. Greer, head of The Disclosure Project, who
brings us up to date on an unexpected and surprising current purpose of
these now-deployed space-based weapons, as well as how President Reagan
was manipulated into championing their development under false
pretenses. 60 pp. - soft cover -
