         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 -
