No, It Is Not Trump's Space Force

By Mr. Z.
4-3-21

After repeatedly hearing over the past few years the latest branch of the U.S. military being referred to as “Trump’s Space Force,” the record needs correcting for who recommended creating the Space Force and its corresponding timeline. Neither the initial idea nor the timing occurred during Donald J. Trump’s presidency, 2017-21. The establishing of the U.S. Space Force as a fifth branch of the U.S. military was formally unveiled and outlined in Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century – which was produced and published in September 2000 by the 9/11/2001 orchestrating Project for a New American Century (PNAC).

It is important to note that, considering PNAC’s Rebuilding America’s Defenses document was released in September 2000, the process of formulating the content therein, to include the Space Force component, is known to have initiated as early as 1996. However, the September 2000 PNAC document is a revised version of the 1992 Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), otherwise known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine – named after arch Zionist PNAC member Paul Wolfowitz. Since the 1992 DPG was seen as too overtly imperialistic by presenting “the plan” rather explicitly, the leaked draft version was quickly retracted and went back to the shady Zionist/PNAC/NeoCon/CIA working group’s drawing board for editing.

Again, the September 2000 Rebuilding America’s Defense’s editing work took place since at least 1996. Keeping this PNAC timeframe in mind, one can argue that the 1992 DPG’s content contemplating, documenting, and refinement by the Zionist/PNAC/NeoCon/CIA working group took place around 1986-88 – the beginning-to-end timeframe of Soviet Union military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Around this 1986-88 timeframe, some blue-collar GOP members, e.g., Mike Dunbar, New Hampshire, sought to draft Donald J. Trump for a presidential run following his reading of Trump: The Art of the Deal, published in 1987. So, while Donald J. Trump and Tony Schwartz were drafting the Art of the Deal’s contents – the Zionist/PNAC/NeoCon/CIA working group were eagerly formulating their plan for global (and celestial) preeminence.

Below are three notable Space Force references outlined within the September 2000 Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century:

1) Pages iv-v – “Establish Four Core Missions for U.S. Military Forces:

  • Defend the American homeland;
  • Fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;
  • Perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions;
  • Transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs” cont…
CONTROL THE NEW “INTERNATIONAL COMMONS” OF SPACE AND “CYBERSPACE,” and pave
the way for the creation of a new military service – U.S. Space Forces – with the mission of
space control.”

2) Page 56 – “As with defense spending more broadly, the state of U.S. “space forces” – the systems required to ensure continued access and eventual control of space – has deteriorated over the past decade, and few new initiatives or programs are on the immediate horizon.”

3) Page 57 – “Therefore, over the long haul, it will be necessary to unite the essential elements of the current SPACECOM vision to the resource-allocation and institution-building responsibilities of a military service. In addition, it is almost certain that the conduct of warfare in outer space will differ as much from traditional air warfare as air warfare has from warfare at sea or on land; space warfare will demand new organizations, operational strategies, doctrines and training schemes. Thus, the argument to replace U.S. Space Command with U.S. Space Forces – a separate service under the Defense Department – is compelling. While it is conceivable that, as military space capabilities develop, a transitory “Space Corps” under the Department of the Air Force might make sense, it ought to be regarded as an intermediary step, analogous to the World War II-era Army Air Corps, not to the Marine Corps, which remains a part of the Navy Department. If space control is an essential element for maintaining American military preeminence in the decades to come, then it will be imperative to reorganize the Department of Defense to ensure that its institutional structure reflects new military realities.”

Please keep the above background information in mind if referring to “Trump’s Space Force.” However, now knowing the actual origins of the Space Force, it is worth asking the following: Was Trump’s proclaiming of the Space Force in 2018 another example of his serving as a diversion? Also recall Biden’s temperamental press secretary, Jen Psaki’s ill-informed Space Force comments were met with swift correction from within the Biden administration – thus showing that the Space Force is one of the few things remaining with bipartisan support.
