OUR SCREENING KIT HAS ARRIVED. One of our members, has so kindly offered her Ice Cream Shop Space to 9.12 for a screening. She has a 42" Flat Screen and 2 - 20" TVs. However, we are also looking into theatres, or other places that have a drop down screen (taking into consideration the number of people). What is the movie 33 Minutes really about? Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a one-hour documentary produced by The Heritage Foundation that tells the story of the very real threat foreign enemies pose to every one us. The truth is brutal - no matter where on Earth a missile is launched from it would take 33 Minutes or less to hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy. Nuclear proliferation around the world, and the threat of a ballistic missile attack of some kind is mounting as more and more countries obtain nuclear technology. The ongoing threat toward America is also accelerating due to the fact that there are many rogue nations and terrorist organizations who either have or are seeking ballistic missiles and nuclear technology. The challenges of protecting America and its citizens for President Obama's administration are great. Featuring rare footage and in-depth interviews with leading experts in the field, 33 Minutes is the definitive documentary exposing the untold vulnerability we all face and the action plan necessary to revive a strategic missile defense system that America uniquely can develop, maintain, and employ for its own defense and the peace-loving world's security. Missile Defense Budget Cuts: What You Need To Know Senior Research Fellow James Carafano, expert on defense and military affairs, covers the top five questions about the missile defense budget cuts. Q: What do the defense budget cuts mean for missile defense? JC: The budget cuts mean we will stop developing our own missile defense capabilities while our enemies, like Iran and North Korea, continue to develop their long range ballistic missiles. It mortgages our future and leaves us vulnerable.Missile Defense News Israel Seeks to Buy U.S. Missile Defense System Q: How will the budget cuts threaten our national security? JC: Our ability to protect America from an attack will decrease. The budget cuts will halt the development of vital missile defense systems while other countries work diligently to improve upon their own capabilities. It will make it much more difficult to protect America from threats. Q: What message do the missile defense cuts send to our enemies? JC: The budget cuts give our enemies an increased incentive to more rapidly develop their long range ballistic missile capabilities. Our enemies will try to close the technological gap as quickly as they can, because they know they are in a stronger position to threaten the United States if they have long range ballistic missile or nuclear weapons capabilities. Q: What could happen in the future if our enemies continue to develop missile capabilities? JC: Countries like Iran and North Korea could begin to work together to improve both countries' ballistic missile and nuclear weapons capabilities. For example, when North Korea tested their long range ballistic missile last month, diplomats from Iran attended the launch. We could see more cooperation between rogue nations in the future. Q: What should Americans do? JC: Americans want missile defense and many people across the country think that politicians in Washington, DC agree with them. Next year's missile defense budget cuts tell a different story.
