"Nun makes major nuclear breach; She has a long history of arrests for her activism" by William J. Broad |
New York Times, August 11, 2012
NEW YORK — She has been arrested 40 or 50 times for acts of civil
disobedience and once served six months in prison. In the Nevada desert,
she and other peace activists knelt down to block a truck rumbling
across the government’s nuclear test site, prompting the authorities to
take her into custody.
She gained so much attention that the Energy Department, which
maintains the nation’s nuclear arsenal, helped pay for a lengthy oral
history in which she described her upbringing and the development of her
antinuclear views.
Now, Sister Megan Rice, 82, a Roman Catholic nun of the Society of
the Holy Child Jesus, and two male accomplices have carried out what
nuclear specialists call the biggest security breach in the history of
the nation’s atomic complex, making their way to the inner sanctum of
the site where the United States keeps crucial nuclear bomb parts and
fuel.
With flashlights and bolt cutters, the three pacifists defied barbed
wire as well as armed guards, video cameras, and motion sensors at the
Oak Ridge nuclear reservation in Tennessee early on July 28.
Hmmmmmmm. Sure smells like a staged event to me. They were allowed to do this.
They
splashed blood on the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility — a new, half-billion-dollar plant encircled by enormous guard towers — and
hung banners outside its walls.
The actions of Rice, a New York native who grew up in Morningside
Heights, and her cohorts are a huge embarrassment for President Obama.
Since 2010, he has led a global campaign to eliminate or lock down
nuclear materials as a way to fight atomic terrorism....
So if those intelligence agency assets and agents that pose as terrorists steal some nuclear material from a U.S. facility you will all know how and why. It's preemptive cover for a possible cover story. Pffft.
