US Couple Arrested For Transmitting Nuclear Secrets In Sting Operation
DesScorp writes "Recalling the famous Rosenberg nuclear spy case of the '50s, the US Justice Department has arrested a couple working at a 'leading nuclear research facility' for giving nuclear secrets to Venezuela. Pedro and Marjorie Mascheroni 'have been indicted on charges of communicating classified nuclear weapons data to a person they believed to be a Venezuelan government official and conspiring to participate in the development of an atomic weapon for Venezuela,' the department said in a statement. If convicted, the couple would receive life in prison."
the more nukes around the more chance for something bad to happen
yes, that the usa has nukes, but venezuela doesn't can be seen as hypocritical if you want
so, if you honestly believe the world is a better place with equanimity, you should be working very hard for the usa to get rid of its nuclear arsenal. and you should be happy venezuela was denied, and not in any way do you think the world is a better place if both countries have nukes
right? right?
(rolls eyes)
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Pedro and Marjorie Mascheroni
I am a such a racist.

Information wants to be free! There should be no laws against transmitting knowledge! You can't steal information - you're only making a copy of it! [/sarcasm]
Which is why the world superpowers need to get together and wipe the Arab states(and Israel) off the face of the map, then split the profits from the resources.
Do you get misty envisioning at least 50 more years of driving comfortable climate-controlled SUV's with DVD players in 'em to distract your 5 kids during the grueling 1/4-mile trip to Whole Foods(tm)?
Do you get misty envisioning the Arab women in your countries finally empowering themselves and flinging the rags off their faces to share their beauty and companionship with cultured, large-dicked white men who bathe on a regular basis and know how to treat women with the respect they deserve?
Those damn shin-kickers have been toying with us and trolling us for too long. It's high time we bring in the Orkin men to take those vermin out.
You did some damn fine engineering while keeping secret the things that needed to remain secret.
You know, a funny thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of people in the US who think that *everyone* should have a gun. But when you pressure them a little, it turns out that they don't think that *really* everyone should have a gun. Those damn illegal Mexicans, for example, they shouldn't be allowed guns. Or those Muslims, no guns for them. So really what they want is for only the people they think are the right sort of people to be able to have guns.
Now, consider that a nuclear weapon is really just another kind of gun...
How do you feel about legal Mexicans having guns?
Or legal Muslim Somalians and Yemenites?
Or people arrested and convicted for non-violent charges?
That's why you don't give political power to psychopaths. The preferred cure is prevention. If they somehow achieve power and show signs of being psychopaths, and nuclear weapons might be involved, then the people of Venezuela should understand that sometimes a rabid dog needs to be put down.
Don't underestimate the power of fanatical leftism / nacionalism, it's as powerful as religious fanatism.
By the way, Nacionalism + Socialism, Nationalsocialism, in German it's sozialism, or to make shorter, Na(so)Zi
