?Positive? Discrimination is Putting Lives at Risk Mon Apr 28, 2025 13:00 | Daniel Fessahaye
There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye.

But at present, they are confused. How has the anchor reacted? Did it undergo magnetic fusion with the seabed-rocks? Being sailors, they thus conjecture, not knowing that they might be on the mark.
However, religious zealots are people who blindly believe fiction. Blindly believing, they are deserving of the ignorance to which they are bound. Moreover, their erroneous impression is that the vague, error-prone religious scriptures are an evidence in support of their faith.
But, Occam's razor speaks differently. What Occam's razor is, is a rational principle. Telling us what not to believe, it protects our rationality.
Fantasy and reality merge together, though, and when the dangerous thrill of the unknown takes seize of everything that is living--then, only, can change occur. Then, only, is evolution able to take place!
Evolution contrasts itself to nihilism. It's in contrast to abandoning the anchor, forever in its depth. Having made that clear, it is now time for us to raise the anchor. We have reached the time to think rationally.
Is God real? The negative is concluded, given that Time Cube's proven true, meaning that a 1-corner God cannot be.
Time Cube, however, has four corners. Four corners.

Fallujah was once the centre of the Baathist, Sunni Muslim and Al-Qaida insurgency.
The US military and the Iraqi national guard changed all that last November.
On January 20 Iraqis will vote for the first time in their history in democratic elections.
The insurgency will continue and US forces will continue to help Iraqis to defeat terror but the terrorist must know that they cannot win. Saddam Hussein nor Al-Qaida are in control of the destiny of Iraq. The Iraqi people are in control of their own destiny.
Composite Testing Laboratory (CTL) was established in 1997 within N.U.I. Galway as part of a materials development project with Airbus U.K. (BAE systems). In July 2003 CTL announced a major contract with BAe systems. According to the CTL website, Bae systems delivers major structures for the primes which include Airbus, Boeing, Raytheon, Cessna and Lockheed. CTL's C.E.O is Dr. Conchur O Bradaigh. CTL claims the contract is for the 'civil' aerospace industry. CTL also does work for Hexcel, a U.S. company with 50% of its business with the U.S. military. Realistically civil use cannot be separated out from military applications when the companies involved are war industry companies. O Bradaigh runs a company which provides support to companies manufacturing imperial products of death and destruction. CTL is partly funded by the Irish Government. The Irish taxpayer is funding the Anglo-American war machine.
Sinn Féin MEP for Dublin Mary Lou McDonald has this morning expressed her concern that over 26 billion euros of military related products have been exported to dozens of countries since 1997.
Figures released by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has shown that Irish companies made a profit of 26.7 million euros last year alone in direct military sales. Ms McDonald said that 'Ireland is complicit in an industry obsessed with profit and seemingly unconcerned where many of these arms are ending up'.

Heres some news about the latest Raytheon good works.
Raytheon Delivers Five STANDARD Missile-3 Rounds For Aegis
December 2003 file photo of a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) being launched from the Aegis cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70), in Kauai, Hawaii, as part of the Missile Defense Agency's Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) test to defeat a medium range ballistic missile threat.
Tucson AZ (SPX) Jan 04, 2005
Raytheon has delivered five STANDARD Missile-3 rounds to the Missile Defense Agency for deployment as a key element of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System.
The rounds are available for deployment on Aegis cruisers and destroyers to defend against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats in the midcourse phase of flight or for flight testing.
Raytheon marked the first SM-3 delivery with a ceremony in Tucson on Oct. 22.
"Raytheon's deliveries of these STANDARD Missile-3s will help provide the United States with the first sea-based line of defense against a limited ballistic missile attack," said Ed Miyashiro, Raytheon's vice president for Naval Weapon Systems. "Our team is very proud of developing and delivering this needed capability."
As the prime contractor, Raytheon is responsible for the development and integration of the SM-3 "all up round," including the SM-3 kinetic warhead. Other SM-3 team members include Aerojet, Alliant Techsystems and The Boeing Company.
Since January 2002, the Aegis BMD system has successfully intercepted targets in space four times with SM-3. In all the flight tests, the SM-3 was launched from a U.S. Navy cruiser under very realistic, operational conditions.
There is already international interest in Aegis BMD and SM-3. Japan made the decision earlier this year to procure Aegis BMD and SM-3 missiles for its Kongo-class Aegis destroyers.
Raytheon is also responsible for the manufacture and deployment of the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program and is the interceptor lead for the Kinetic Energy Interceptor program.
Raytheon is also providing the Sea-Based X-band radar and Upgraded Early Warning Radar for the GMD segment, the Space Tracking and Surveillance System payload, the Ballistic Missile Defense System radar, and THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) radar and battle management software.
