Deranged Psychopaths in US Government Want Life in Jail for 83 Year Old Sister Megan Rice for Sabatoge

The British news organization, The Guardian, runs the story of a non-violent protestor.
The American news organizations, owned by the 1%, are running stories of grammies.

"Rice was charged with federal sabotage, along with co-defendants Greg Boertje-Obed, 57, a carpenter, and Michael Walli, 64, a Vietnam veteran, for breaking into the Y-12 nuclear facility in Oak Ridge, and they will learn their fate on Tuesday when they appear before Judge Amul Thapar in a federal court in Knoxville, to be sentenced."

Here's more from the Transform Now Plowshares webpage:

"The message of the Transform Now Plowshares action was delivered in the early morning hours of July 28, 2012, when Walli, Boertje-Obed and Rice entered the ultra-high security area of Y12 and read an indictment charging the United States with failure to comply with its legal obligations under the Nonproliferation Treaty. The opening paragraphs read:"

“Today, through our nonviolent action, we—Transform Now Plowshares—indict the U.S. government nuclear modernization program, including the new Uranium Processing Facility planned at Oak Ridge and the dedication of billions of public dollars to the continuation of the Y-12 facility.

“WHEREAS, This program is an ongoing criminal endeavor in violation of international treaty law binding on the United States under the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article VI):

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

The indictment delivered that morning was validated by U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark who testified at a motions hearing in federal court in Knoxville that ongoing weapon production activities at Y12 in Oak Ridge are “unlawful.” Clark, Attorney General when the United States signed the Nonproliferation Treaty, testified the US has failed to meet its legal obligations under that treaty and cited the 1996 opinion of the International Court of Justice that nuclear weapons states have an obligation to achieve nuclear disarmament. “It’s the single most important treaty we have ever had,” Clark told the court, adding, “The life of the planet is at risk from the one plant here in Tennessee.”

"The three [Walli, Boertje-Obed and Rice] were convicted of sabotage last year after they broke into the nuclear weapons plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee The restitution covers damage incurred at the plant when the three cut through fences and painted slogans on the outside wall of the uranium processing plant there."

The Daily Paradise Editorial Comment:
Again, it seems these three protesters should receive a reward for showing US that three senior citizens could simply cut through fences around a nuclear weapons plant. This action shows that the nuclear weapons plant is not secure nor safe!

Everyone knows that nukes = death.
We no longer have any reason for nuke plants or weapons.
Like Snowden, this woman has taken a brave stand.
The deranged psychopaths in the US government who are nuking US with radiating body scanners at airports, with denial of the Fukushima radiation hitting US, and with pumping out radioactivity from nuclear plants, these are the people who belong in jail.
