More on the Amazing Clinton-Russian Uranium Scam

[flacaltenn]

It's not exactly a lie. In many ways, we gave them 20% of our reserves to manipulate pricing and availability as they please. Helps them to be the dominant price setter on the Intl market. I just TOLD you -- they now decide how much to take out of that ground, IN THE USA, every year. And by buying up the production in Uzbek and other places, they can make us MORE dependent on them.

You're just not getting it. If there's a sudden need to increase nuclear capacity (and there should be for commercial power) -- how do we put sanctions on a country that can literally price us OUT of the nuclear fuel market? You're re-posting partisan talking points and IGNORING the realities of the thinking points.

I don't think Trump ever once said Hillary is trying to help Russia corner the market on uranium so they can price us out of the market. Not once. He continues to say Hillary gave them 20% of our uranium.

However to your argument.

Sources and shares of purchases of uranium produced in foreign countries in 2016:

• Canada–25%
• Kazakhstan–24%
• Australia–20%
• Russia–14%
• Uzbekistan–4%
• Malawi, Namibia, Niger, and South Africa–10%
• Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Germany, and Ukraine–2%

That's WHERE IT'S FROM. Not who CONTROLS the production. You're still not getting it..

NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. .

Doesn't refute a single point I made. The Russian company determines investment, production rates and pricing. These are just talking points in a useless attempt to justify this bad deal...

opposed to your RW rhetoric which doesn't prove a single point either ... mmmmmmmmkay.

I'm not RW. Could out-Liberal you everyday without breaking a sweat.

I just gave the many strategic DANGERS of this deal. Dangers that question the honesty and truthfulness of the deal-makers. It's not about EXPORTING. Foreign govts given rights to extracting nat. resources can harm us in ANY NUMBER of ways that leftists don't seem to understand.

You cannot refute the dangers I gave you. Nor could a PATRIOTIC politico making those kinds of decisions.

It's collusion.. For some damn reason. Shouldn't have EVER happened.

Russia GETS its uranium from Uranium One’s assets in Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer.

You mean THIS Clinton-Russian uranium scam?



FACT CHECK: Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States' Uranium to Russia in Exchange for Clinton Foundation Donations?

Hillary Clinton 'gave up' 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia?

The facts behind Trump’s repeated claim about Hillary Clinton’s role in the Russian uranium deal

All complete and utter bovine scatology.. WashPo claims Sec State was not "in the loop".. But the COMMISSION that approves those deals has the Sec State in a leading role. It's garbage and utterly irresponsible journalism.

And I already said that concerns about EXPORTING it -- pale in comparison to the dangers of enabling Russia to dominate the world market in the mining and rights to uranium rich lands. Even WITHOUT export, Russia would control the world market and set volume and prices and be in position to "dial back" the production in ONE of the countries in which they bought right.

Flush the talking points. Pick up the thinking points..

the assistant, Deputy Secretary of State attended all the meetings, Hillary did not attend one. she was always on the road....working with far away diplomats etc...

AND

I doubt the heads of the other 8 agencies attended all the meetings either....it was probably their Deputy Asst's as well....

BULLCRAP.. Sounds entirely stupid since Clinton was on the CFIUS committee and it NEEDED her approval. Whatever bullshit about her being too busy to bother her head with it -- is ridiculous..

Uranium is foundational to nuclear power and thus to American national security. As the New York Times explained in a report on the disturbing interplay between the Clinton Foundation and the transfer of American uranium assets to Russia, the United States gets a fifth of its electrical power from nuclear energy, but only produces a fifth of the uranium it needs. Consequently, a foreign entity would not be able to acquire rights to American uranium without the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

CFIUS is composed of the leaders of 14 U.S. government agencies involved in national security and commerce. In 2010, these included not only Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had cultivated a reputation as a hawk opposed to such foreign purchases, but Attorney General Eric Holder, whose Justice Department (and its lead agency, the FBI) were conducting the investigation of Rosatom’s ongoing U.S. racketeering, extortion, and money-laundering scheme.

What is it that you are trying to say?

That Hillary Clinton made all the 14 agencies involved in the permission for the sale and in the CHIUS, make a deal, to allow Russia to buy a Canadian company that owned one of our Uranium mine operations in the USA? that SHE controlled it all and it was the $500k speaking fee that Bill got for the Foundation Charity that was the sole reason for everyone on the CFIUS to approve it?

Cut me a break PLEASE..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the scandal FlaCal that you all seem to think makes Hillary at fault???

What is it, that you are so outraged over that makes Clinton some evil bitch? Care to explain the conspiracy and how it went down?

Did the government make a wise decision or not, is NOT a conspiracy....it's simply whether they made a wise decision or not.

First you say she was too busy to look at it. And I told you SHE HAD to look at it because of her seat on CFIUS. NOW you claim she was just one of the 14 that had to object.

Since there are no other members directly involved in Foreign Relations or foreign surveillance, any knowledge of what Russia was attempting to do in cornering the world's uranium mining would have come from the Dept of State. And she took a pass -- let it proceed.. ALTHOUGH HOLDER KNEW as member of CFIUS that some of players were under investigation and the State Dept KNEW about recent Russian acquisitions of Uranium stocks in other parts of the world.

Not a conspiracy if you're paying attention. MIGHT SEEM that way if you don't understand the process...

I said she did NOT attend any of the meetings on it with the CFIUS, according to fact checks, her acting Deputy Secretary of State attended the meetings....and he said, according to fact check, she was not involved in any of the discussions regarding the proposal and she did not influence him of anyone else on the CFIUS board regarding this purchase proposal..... Did she make the final sign off based on her Deputy's recommendation from his attendance of the board meetings? I would imagine so....

I do not know what the State or any of the other 8 agencies knew regarding covert CIA or FBI actions regarding some of the "players" involved....since the intel agencies were also involved in the approval decision, I would guess they would tell the people on this board to NOT make the deal, if it was going to harm us in any way,

or if they had to keep their operation MUM for some covert intelligence reason, then they would have at least spoken to the President, who was the final say, the only one who could veto it....

seeking to buy U. S. Uranium which needed the approval of the Obama administration and the Clinton State Department;

Except that.....Russia didn't need the tiny amount of U ore those mines produce.

" February 1993, Russia and the United States signed an agreement on the disposition of highly enriched uranium (HEU) extracted from Russian nuclear weapons.[1] Under the terms of the deal, Russia undertook to down-blend 500 tons[2] of HEU, enough to build 20,000 nuclear warheads, over a 20-year period. The two sides agreed that the resulting low-enriched uranium (LEU) would be used as fuel by nuclear power plants in the United States, hence the informal name of the program, “Megatons to Megawatts.”

In reality it will not leave without a license. Who issues the license? Think they'll issue one that allows it to go to Russia? Furthermore considering that Russia sent us 500 tons of highly enriched uranium between 1993 and 2013 and they also own mining rights in Kazakhstan, it would be insane for them to ship such a small amount back to Russia.

The story is nothing but a diversion for the rubes, hoping beyond hope to put the Clinton's in jail.

 

[flacaltenn]

ince the intel agencies were also involved in the approval decision,

not directly. THe DNI consults as non-voting member. But the ONLY agency that follows economic and trade deals is NOT the intel agencies. It's the State Dept.. The State Dept IS an intel agency. They are the lead on such deals. Treasury doesn't know crap about all this dealing.

Funny how little Clinton was involved in the stuff that REALLY matters.. Just that same incompetence that Comey invoked as an excuse to exonerate her breaches of security protocols..

 

[Markle]

There's no export license for the uranium. It can only be sold to American companies.

Not true if it goes out of the county through Canada.

So what? Why is it you have no indignation to SOLE extraction rights for Uranium in the US? For ANY amount.

You seem to be applauding our dependence on Russia for this critical resource. Since WHEN has it become fashionable to do business with Russia again? You think a Trump HOTEL in Moscow is a bigger deal?

That's crazy talk.

Exactly. They are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

They claim Russia is an enemy, yet they claim it's ok for Russia to control 20% of the US uranium reserves.

Which one is it? Are they are enemy or an ally?

The claim is that Sec. Clinton did something criminal during the approval process, or that she gave Russia 20% or our uranium. Neither of which are true. Not what I think about Russia owning the parent company that own these mines. The worst case is that Russia makes a profit from selling to our uranium to us. Certainly not what that cretin in the WH said about it.

They now the ability to CUT BACK production in the US in order to raise prices elsewhere ----- reduce investment in capital equipment or investment in that mines --- And OTHERWISE manipulate their growing share of world-wide uranium production. I can't help that leftists are too stupid to KNOW the full scope of the dangers here.

It's a matter of global dominance in that marketplace. A STRATEGICALLY critical marketplace. That is the issue. Not that they are here mining it.

What you don’t get is that this is NOT A SECURITY THREAT, it is a financial concern. All DoS did was approve this deal as not a security threat.

Russia has more uranium than it will ever need and has no use in exporting ours.

Then why the lies about Hillary giving Russia 20% of our uranium? Why not raise the issue as you state, Russia is trying to corner the U market?

It's not exactly a lie. In many ways, we gave them 20% of our reserves to manipulate pricing and availability as they please. Helps them to be the dominant price setter on the Intl market. I just TOLD you -- they now decide how much to take out of that ground, IN THE USA, every year. And by buying up the production in Uzbek and other places, they can make us MORE dependent on them.

You're just not getting it. If there's a sudden need to increase nuclear capacity (and there should be for commercial power) -- how do we put sanctions on a country that can literally price us OUT of the nuclear fuel market? You're re-posting partisan talking points and IGNORING the realities of the thinking points.

I don't think Trump ever once said Hillary is trying to help Russia corner the market on uranium so they can price us out of the market. Not once. He continues to say Hillary gave them 20% of our uranium.

However to your argument.

Sources and shares of purchases of uranium produced in foreign countries in 2016:

• Canada–25%
• Kazakhstan–24%
• Australia–20%
• Russia–14%
• Uzbekistan–4%
• Malawi, Namibia, Niger, and South Africa–10%
• Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Germany, and Ukraine–2%

Where Our Uranium Comes From - Energy Explained, Your Guide To Understanding Energy - Energy Information Administration

World Nuclear Association - World Nuclear Association

That's WHERE IT'S FROM. Not who CONTROLS the production. You're still not getting it..

The so called scandal involves the mines in the US. Had a US objection been raised all the Canadian company had to do was get rid of the US mines and the sale could have been completed without needing approval from the US.

The real goal of the sale for Russia was to obtain the mining operation in Kazakhstan.

Again that is altogether different than the pseudo-scandal the RWM is crowing on and on about.

Exactly how does acquiring 20% of our Uranium by paying bribes to Clinton, Obama, and members of the Intelligence Committee equate with Russia wanting a mining operation in Kazakhstan?

Again, you have dishonored yourself with lies.

Putin is an idiot if you think he wanted Trump as a "Sleeper Agent".

Exactly what has The President done with Putin but showed him a firm hand and demonstrated an unwillingness to put up with Putin's bullshit like Obama Bin Lying let happen? He has influenced Russia and China to bend to his will against North Korea, where Obama was willing to look the other way like he did with everything else.

Clinton is who they were trying to influence, and Clinton is who they paid over $145 Million in bribes to, laundered through the Clinton Foundation.

Obama & Clinton were Putin's Puppet, otherwise Crimea doesn't happen in conjunction with The Uranium One Deal.

The establishment in both parties were convinced Hillary would be the next president that's why all this crap was being covered up. Well now its erupting to the surface and the DC swamp is shitting itself.

Putin is an idiot if you think he wanted Trump as a "Sleeper Agent".

Exactly what has The President done with Putin but showed him a firm hand and demonstrated an unwillingness to put up with Putin's bullshit like Obama Bin Lying let happen? He has influenced Russia and China to bend to his will against North Korea, where Obama was willing to look the other way like he did with everything else.

Clinton is who they were trying to influence, and Clinton is who they paid over $145 Million in bribes to, laundered through the Clinton Foundation.

Obama was Putin's Puppet, otherwise Crimea doesn't happen in conjunction with The Uranium One Deal.

1) Could you please link us to the 145 million in bribes paid to Clinton(s) OR bribes to Obama?

2) Need evidence of the "firm hand" demonstrated by Trump toward Putin or any criticism of Putin or Russia whatsoever?

3) While you're at it, how exactly was Obama Putin's puppet?

Dude - get a grip. Either that or go to work for RT or as one of Vlad's Internet trolls - I hear there's a ton of money in it!

Oh wait -- never mind

When you allow an ENEMY like Russia, who has now rigged your Presidential election, to control 20% of a valuable natural resource, it's a matter of national security....just like Putin installing his sleeper agent, Trump, into the White House.

I realize this uranium deal was prior to Putin staging a coup, but it definitely compromises national security.

Uranium cannot be exported, can only be sold in the states, unless special permission is granted.

But lets go at it from another side - if what you say is true why are there no calls from anyone prominent to do something about this supposed security risk, only CLINTON! OBAMA! bullshit in the rightwing echo chamber?

Also, how if it's such a security risk why is it ok for companies to be privately owned (and often it will be foreign owned) at all?
