User talk:B.S. Lawrence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, "Mr." Lawrence: I will eventually get around to revealing the true character of this [Jewish] financier and patent guru who went by (the name) Isaac L. Rice. Let me just say that Mr. Rice (had ulterior motives) and somehow ended up with William Woodnut Griscom's patents - as Griscom did not want to part with them... and refused to sell his patents to Rice - but died a mysterious death in an "accident" while hunting and hiking outdoors. So Mr. Rice ended up with these patents anyways - as he stopped at next-to-nothing to get what he wanted. Mr. Rice also somehow ended up with the majority of Holland's patents as he profited (enormously) with ill-gotten gains - acquried largely through the hard work and innovations of others - who founded the Electric Boat Company/General Dynamics... i.e. John Philip Holland/Arthur Leopold Busch etc... This company was not founded by Rice as they continue to insist! Company records do not reflect on the true events that transpired during their heyday. Rice was brought to federal court but simply could not recall the events that led to Holland's demise within his own company, not to mention how he ended up with most all of Holland's patents! Rice quickly took refuge in very poor memories - in front of a New Jersey State Judge - as they looked the other way - while being bribed by this pettifogger in the process... as were politicians on Capitol Hill... something not mentioned by today's Electric Boat.

Plese check the International Directory of Company Histories article about General Dynamics, as the company is well known to have been steeped in scandals and run in an unscrupleless manner. Also see the one just published under General Dynamic/Electric Boat Corporation. Published July 2007, by St. James Press, pp.136-139.

Also see: The Defender, The Story of General Dynamics, by Roger Franklin Harper&Row which is now Harper-Collins. The book focuses on John Holland's company and is not afraid to tell it like it was - in our politically corrected approach where the truth is not always mentioned or discussed - because of the offensivness of those who are easily prone to being offended.

The Electric Boat Company continues to "brush-off" many crucial events that led to the success of "their" company back when it was being founded - and by whom?

See article in Naval History Magazine entitled: Who Built Those Subs? Published by The United States Naval Inistitute, Annapolis, MD. 1998 Sept-October 125th issue. The man in this article (about Arthur L. Busch) was never acknowledged, credited (or respected) for any of the vital contributions that he made to Electric Boat - no thanks to Rice or any of his corrupt cronies who took EB over... including: Frank T. Cable, Elihu B. Frost, Lawrence York Spear - and others, some of which continue to do today.

[edit] Revert on Voltaire

Hi! I notice that you recently reverted a problematic edit on Voltaire. Unfortunately, this user had actually made four edits in quick succession, and you only fixed the last one. I appreciate your effort, but it had the unfortunate consequence of making the other errors slower to be detected and a little harder to fix. I've patched it up now and everything's fine, but I'm dropping you this note on the assumption that you'd prefer to know that this happened so you can remember to double-check the next time.
