He's the reason you're not speaking Russian right now. He was one of the most brilliant men of the 20th century, falsely maligned by the leftists and communists in the U.S. for a variety of reasons (pointing out that communists were infiltrating our nuclear weapons program, creating 2nd and 3rd generation nuclear designs allowing smaller nuclear devices, etc.)
This thread is devoted to Johnny Cash; who rightfully deserves such a memorial. But it is a terrible shame that Teller, who may have very well helped save the human race from the eternal slavery of communism, wasn't at least equally honored. That even many "conservatives" don't know who he is (or that he died) shows just how controlled the media and education organizations in the United States are.
