Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.—Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900 - 1986)
Unfortunately, nuclear-powered submarines were his idea too...also known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy"
However, he said this in his old age:
"I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation. Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear powered ships. That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of (…)

OUR COMPASSIONATE OCCUPATION
10 June 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentThe world knows that George W. Bush has always touted "compassionate conservatism". He’s out to prove it now with a brand new proposal for the future of Iraq.
Bush and his gang of military advisors including thinktank professors, generals and "yes" men, have concluded that what’s best for Iraq is a task force of caring and concerned troops to stay in the Green Zone and on various large bases for the forseeable future and beyond...waaaay beyond!
This has been our pattern in the past; we (…) -

TBR News.org – June 8, 2007
I have two subjects of general interest to discuss today. The first concerns the flap over the Turkish threats to invade northern Iraq in the wake of Kurdish terrorists cross-border murderous activities inside Turkey and the second deals with a very serious problem with rising sea levels and genuine economic chaos for our east and gulf coasts. First, let’s look at what could very well become a major political disaster. To reduce the problem to basics, the Kurds (…) -

C4’s Jon Snow’s MSM complicity in totalitarianizing Britain
8 June 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
In sheer frustration and anger with the lying media-machine, I started my blog, Chimes of Freedom, a short while after the false-flag bombings in London in July 2005. Nearly two years later, Channel Four TV News decided to broadcast a piece on a recent survey of British Muslims, showing the majority to believe that 7/7 was indeed a false flag operation for which the British government and its secret services were responsible.
Readers are cautioned that this video of a C4 broadcast is in (…) -

I’m talking about France’s dictator Maximilien Robespierre (1793-4), and America’s Uber-President, George W. Bush. After betraying his comrades during the French (…) -

War criminal Rumsfeld’s China policy
BY Scott Horton June 2, 2007
Did Donald Rumsfeld and his Neocon all-star team of Wolfowitz, Feith, Cambone and DiRita – with backing from John Bolton at State - actually attempt to provoke a war with China? Did they do their best to stir up President Chen Shui-bian and his Taiwanese independence movement to derail U.S.-Chinese relations? This is the charge that Colin Powell’s chief of staff, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, has leveled. And he’s being (…) -

In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the work that President Bush has done to protect the country.
