Y-12 is in the process of being demolished by the Obama Administration.
Every one of these people should have been shot dead!
I’m sure Iran will be their next stop, followed by North Korea.
But every now and again, they have something right.
Like how they'd treat these buffoons.
If some Russian 'protesters' somehow made it onto a military nuclear facility, they would not be 'apprehended'. They would not be 'charged'. They would be killed where they stood.
I don't know how they got out alive. I would assume that the security of a priority denial zone would shoot to kill. This time of year (the run-up to Hiroshima Day) should have been a high-alert time: like significant days on the Islamic Liturgical Calendar.
Suddenly, I was much less boisterous and a lot more careful how close I got to the merchandise.
About 20 years ago an animal rights group broke into a high security lab studying infection diseases and released all the lab animals. The potential for a Biblical level disaster was high. Fortunately, nothing happened. Nobody has the right to damage someone elses property. I dont care how righteous or moral you think your cause is. The save-the-whales groups come to mind. They put sailors who are legally working at risk of death or injury. They feel they can do this because their cause is moral. I work with a couple of women one of whom believes that keeping chickens in cages is immoral. Another believes that eating meat is immoral. Other than the fact that theyd get arrested, nothing stops these women from organizing and releasing farmers chickens or burning down grocery stores that sell meat.
What happens when the individuals moral values can be enforced on everybody else instead of the laws we live by? There are as many moral views as there are people. In Western (Christian) culture, the individuals moral views are subordinated to the law. But Western culture has been invaded by Eastern and Middle-eastern cultures where an individual can feel completely justified in taking any action to enforce his (Islamic) culture viewpoint; even on those who are not Islamic.
How is this nun any different in what shes doing than an Imam who declares a fatwa on (pick anything?)
The Western vs. Islamic culture difference is; if the save-the-whale groups really wanted to save whales, they can lobby inside countries that consume whale meat for laws to outlaw whale meat. If the peace through submission lobby wants to outlaw nuclear weapons, they can vote for Obama. Both are legal. What this approach lacks, I suspect, is the personal, self-righteous involvement of doing something illegal but moral.
Ever notice how conservatives are referred to as "extremists", while liberals are called "activists?"
Great, our a-bomb facility guards prove to be as incompetent and stupid as airport TSA workers. What could go wrong next?
Megan Rice is a Sister of the Holy Child who worked as a missionary in Nigeria and Ghana for 34 years. She currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Megan is actively involved in anti-nuclear and peace efforts, and works with Nevada Desert Experience, an organization that was formed to stop nuclear weapons testing in the Nevada desert.
She has spent time in prison for her nonviolent actions to close the School of the Americas/WHINSEC at Ft. Benning, Georgia.
I can pretty much guarantee that she is NOT in good standing with the Catholic Church.
I did about 40 week long field trips to Y-12 in the 80’s to collect as-built information in order to upgrade some of the systems. When I first started going to the plant Union Carbide was in charge and security was pretty lax. When Martin Marrietta took over, security was beefed up. I watched the guards train and I don’t think anyone would have been able to break in at that time.
Some “high security zone” they’ve got there!
