OAK RIDGE — Three peace activists — including an 82-year-old nun — infiltrated the highest-security area of the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant in a predawn protest today, reportedly evading guards and cutting through three or four fences in order to spray-paint messages, hang banners and pour human blood at the site where warhead parts are manufactured and the nation's stockpile of bomb-grade uranium is stored.
And for those of you who DON'T know what Y-12 is... let's just say as bad as the news reports this is, it isn't even close.
This isn't a matter of people being fired... it's a matter of people never getting out of prison again.
The group they're from, "Plowshares", is a communist front group, has been for... 45 years I think?
I just love this line:
Steven Wyatt, a spokesman for the National Nuclear Security Administration at Y-12, declined to discuss details of the early-morning events at the Oak Ridge, but he acknowledged that the unapproved entry into the plant's inner sanctum — a high-security zone known simply as the Protected Area — is unprecedented.
"There's never been a situation like this before to my knowledge," Wyatt said Saturday afternoon.
If unarmed protesters dressed in dark clothing could reach the plant's core during the cover of dark, it raised questions about the plant's security against more menacing intruders.
"I'm sure we'll learn from this, without question, and use what we learn to improve security," Wyatt said.
Ya fucking think so Skippy?
This is going to come out that it was about the 35 guards being let go, I guarantee it. There is NO way these idiots got where they did without somebody looking the other way... Confirmed by the fact that the geniuses didn't manage to get shot in the process.
