In his Tuesday March 4th speech to a joint session of Congress, President Trump posited the idea of a "Golden Dome" strategic missile defense for the United States. Trump asserted that "Ronald Reagan wanted to do that long ago but the technology just wasn't there.." But what exactly was the proposed technology and intention behind President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)?
On May 31, 1977, LaRouche and his associates published a 40-page pamphlet titled "Sputnik of the Seventies: The Science Behind the Soviets' Beam Weapon" reporting on Soviet breakthroughs in advanced laser physics and their potential military and economic use. LaRouche's subsequent campaign for a crash program for "beam weapon defense" for the United States was what in fact became adopted as President Ronald Reagan's SDI on March 23, 1983. As you'll learn from this week's LaRouche Show video originally produced in 2008, LaRouche's policy was empathically not simply a military one, but was meant to be a "Grand Design" crash program akin to NASA's Apollo Program which would also transform the United States' and other nations' economies with revolutionary technologies. As Reagan proposed, these technologies would then also be shared with the Soviet Union to finally make nuclear missiles "impotent and obsolete." Of course, this would have completely overthrown the post-war Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) globalist policy of Henry Kissinger and his British masters, paving the way for a completely new world strategic and economic development architecture.
