Outer space and its wonders always make humans wonder if there is life out there. Our galaxy is one of the billions in our universe and we have not even explored one percent of it. Due to pop culture and Hollywood, we have a made-up idea of what space is like. Movies like ‘Star Wars’ present space as a fast paced and easy place to travel around but the reality is that humans have no idea how to travel to another planet and come back. In December of 2019, President Donald J. Trump created a new armed forces branch, The United States Space Force (USSF). The United States Space Force’s mission is to organize, train, and equip American space forces in order to protect the United States and its allies. Their responsibilities include protecting space satellites, developing Guardians, acquiring military space systems, maturing the military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces to present our combatant commands.
The USSF website describes their seal as “On a dark blue disc, between two constellations in white, a light blue globe grid-lined in silver surmounted by a silver delta both encircled diagonally by a white orbit ring, all beneath a white Northern star in the upper left portion of the disc and above the roman numerals “MMXIX” arching in white below. Encircling the disc is a dark blue designation band edged with an inner and outer border and between two deltas, the inscription “UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE” at top and “DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE” at the bottom, all in white”, but the people of the United States describe the seal as a rip off from the “Star Trek” movies. The similarities are there, for sure.
The United States Space Force gained so much popularity in the United States that Netflix made a parody series of it. The Netflix series stars Steve Carell as
General Mark R. Naird, Diana Silvers as Erin Naird, Mark's teenage daughter, and Ben Schwartz as F. Tony "Fuck Tony" Scarapiducci, Space Force social media director. The show gained so much love from the viewers that it’s due for a second season later this year (2021). That popularity also gave citizens the opportunity to create their own militias, as they have done for the seas and the land. The first known space militia is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
Cleveland, Ohio is no stranger to outer space. DC Comics’ main superhero, Superman, was the creation of two young Clevelanders. McKenzie (Mac) Levindofske also known as McKenzie Levi founded the Citizen Space Militia. “The first purpose is creating the narrative that there are people outside the government/media system that are working on space research and defense," Levi said, when asked why he founded the space militia.
Levi and I had a full one-on-one interview with more questions about the Citizen Space Militia. Here are the answers…
1. What inspired you to create the space militia?
I don't believe in space, as it is presented by the media and current science. I have been convinced by innumerable logistical flaws and faulty imagery presented by NASA that space is a fictional concept. I believe the Earth is a system enclosed inside an impenetrable dome or firmament made of crystal or glass and that all visits to space have been faked. I do not believe that planets are balls you can go to and land on. I do not believe there is an infinite blackness surrounding us that you can drive through with aircraft. I don't know what the true layout is. U.S. government and military documents specify that the Earth is stationary and flat, yet this hasn't stopped the federal governments from setting up "space-based" weaponry and continuing the narrative that they are able to access and fly through space. The government and media also continue to allude to the narrative that there are aliens and that they are going to be a threat that the military will need to counter. I do believe there are interdimensional beings that can come into our system, but I don't think they are coming from distant galaxies. This all needs to be researched and prepared for by people who are not in the government or connected to the false narrative. Even if I did believe in space as it is presented in mainstream portrayals, this citizen space militia is still necessary. It shouldn't just be the government and billionaires dealing with space defense.
2. What is the purpose of the space militia?
- The first purpose is to create the narrative that there are people outside the government/media system that are working on space research and defense.
- The second purpose is actual research and defense. Even if space is not like they say it is, we are still in some kind of system. There are still potential threats from the militaries using "low orbit" or high-altitude weapons. There are potential enemies that we don't even know about yet, such as, if "aliens" we all know of, are actually demons. I'm not sure what can be done about these things but at least there is some start to defending against them.
- The third purpose is to have a functional military organization without directly going against the government. Although U.S. law allows for the setup and training of militias, these come under scrutiny by the government and the public, which may consider them potentially combative. With the concept of a space militia being more light-hearted and less antagonistic, a militia could become capable of engaging in warfare against traditional enemies without raising any red flags.
- The fourth purpose is to mock the concept of space and the people pushing the
space stories and be a merchandisable alternative to the "NASA/Space Force ideology” Being a modern Crusader Knight, the idea of defending from space threats and supernatural entities seems like a natural progression. Every show or franchise seems to have a space episode.
3. Is there a group of people or just one person?
This started as an idea of mine. I made a logo and started a social media account as a way to legitimize it. I began posting simple objectives for new members such as "do research" to create a broadly inclusive club or base for others to do their own kind of thing. There are other individuals that asked to officially join the group after I launched the social media page. I communicate with them directly and share information, but we haven't done any missions or had any actual meetings yet.
4. Do you think the US government should have access to space?
Sure, but I don't think that they do. I don't think anyone can go outside of the dome. Let's say space was as they say, and they could get out, then yes, I think anyone with the capabilities should be able to go out there. As far as the U.S. or another superpower territorializing and then defending their territory with advanced weaponry, that would be inevitable. They already have advanced air-based weapons like drones and drone armies, UFO-type craft made by the military, the rods of God, and things we don't even know about.
5. How do I feel about regular civilians going to space for recreation?
I think there will be a fake tourism industry designed around taking people to "space". Billionaire Richard Branson demonstrated it recently when he took a high-altitude jet up then quickly descended to give the brief feeling of weightlessness inside the aircraft. People will pay to do that. They might use balloons and they might even let people out of the aircraft at high altitudes if that's safe to do. I think, later on, people will also be tricked into believing that they are going to space bases or Mars by taking them up high then rendering them unconscious then taking them somewhere underground on Earth while pretending it is Mars. First, NASA will announce that they can colonize Mars but the best way to do it is to build underground bases there.
6. Does the Space Militia have any relation to the Space Force?
No, but like any militia, we would be willing to assist or resist them (and other branches of the military), depending on the situation.
7. Is the Space Force the reason the Space Militia came into being?
Yes, that is a major inspiration. I think the actual U.S. Space Force is probably engaged in real work and functioning like a branch of the Air Force but the public concept of the Space Force as a precursor to a STAR WARS like military fleet is ridiculous, so I think it's funny to pretend that citizens are capable of doing it too like I'm in on the secret with them. Who knows where it will go. We could be flying around in a fighter jet or battling demons coming from the underground, fighting with swords, or shooting lasers, or it could just be a joke. Right now, I'm putting together a short comedy variety show which will be broadcast from my space castle.
