Top Secret Weapon Whistleblower Dies From Agent Orange

Internationally recognized whistleblower and patriot hero Dr. Bob Bowman passed away at his Melbourne, FL home Wednesday night August 22nd, after suffering for years from agent orange poisoning.
“As has been the case with so many of our Vietnam Veterans, the cancers that eventually took Colonel Bowman’s life can be traced to his exposure to the toxins of the Agent Orange he was exposed to during his war service in Vietnam,” Veterans for Peace (VFP) spokesperson stated Phil Restino, Co-Chair of VFP Chapter 136, Central Florida Veterans For Peace.
At age 78 after a long, courageous eight-year battle with cancer, Colonel Bowman, “Dr. Bob”, as lovingly known to so many, leaves behind his wife of 57 years Maggie Bowman, their 7 children and 21 grandchildren.
Colonel Bowman was the National Commander of the non-partisan, non-profit veterans organization The Patriots.
“Follow the Constitution. Honor the Truth. Serve the People,” is The Patriot’s motto, one Bowman upheld with utmost integrity.
Bowman was well known nationally and internationally as the Pentagon insider who courageously blew the whistle in the early 1980′s on the U.S. government’s plans to use as an offensive “first-strike” weapon the “Star Wars” missile defense system that he had directed during much of the 1970′s.
Dr. Bowman’s efforts led to his self-published book on the matter in 1985, Star Wars: Defense or Death Star?
Before directing the “Star Wars” programs when they were top secret and classified programs during the Ford and Carter administrations, Colonel Bowman served as a USAF pilot with service in Korea and Vietnam, having flown 101 combat missions as a fighter pilot in Vietnam.
“We executed Nazis for doing the wrong thing and their defense was they were ‘just following orders,’” Bowman taught American soldiers, so they would not commit the same unconstitutional, internationally illegal actions that Nazis did.

Bowman was also the Founding Archbishop of the United Catholic Church, an “independent Catholic fellowship” created in 1996, held to be connected through apostolic succession to the Old Catholic Church.
Bowman’s war experience in Vietnam led him to work for peace as a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and later as a celebrated member of Veterans For Peace, serving as its keynote speaker at 4 separate Veterans For Peace National Conventions.
The Central Florida chapter of Veterans For Peace (VFP Chapter 136), Bob Bowman’s home chapter, is asking all its members as well as members of Veterans For Peace and Vietnam Veterans Against the War throughout Florida and surrounding areas to do all they can to pass along this notice to our brothers and sisters so that we can turn out as many in our ranks as possible next Friday and Saturday, August 30th and 31st for the services in Melbourne, FL.
“VFP’s Chapter 136 will be able to provide a limited number of VFP Helmet & Dove lapel pins to VFP members attending the services,” says Restino.
A full military burial at Arlington Cemetery is scheduled for a later date. Details about other salutes to Bowman are listed below.
For more information, contact at Phil Restino at (386) 788-2918 or by cell at (386) 235-3268.
Also contact Kathy Bracewell of East Central Florida chapter of CODEPINK Women for Peace to contribute to a scrapbook display of photos and written testimonials from Dr. Bob’s friends and colleagues. Email those to [email protected].
“It’s time for people who know the truth… to say ‘No’ to the wars of aggression and ‘No’ to taking away our liberty given in the Constitution,” Dr. Bowman urged.

Dr. Bob Bowman, RIP. The nation has just lost one of its best leaders.
Interesting that Star Wars started before Reagan. Note that Ford and Carter have some skeletons in their closets.
Indeed. These Presidents are mere figureheads. The true power is one that enjoys continuity between administrations.
Great man! The information war will continue! Rest in piece our fallen warrior!
Amen!
