Clinton Foundation key to giving Putin 20% of US uranium
Clinton Foundation key to giving Putin 20% of US uranium
By Jon Rappoport
She could be the next US President.
He already was the President.
Cue the dawn sunrise and violins for the beautiful first couple of American politics.
But what about the uranium scandal?
The what?
Before
I quote a NY Times piece on this, consider----suppose, just suppose the
beautiful first couple, Bill and Hillary, have been running a parallel
operation to the government, in the form of a Foundation that is taking
in major chunks of cash from people who want (and get) serious political
favors.
Well, current news stories confirm that. We already know that.
But uranium?
Consider this plot line. Follow the bouncing ball.
Putin wants 20% of uranium on US soil. That 20% is owned by a Canadian mining company.
The Canadian executives want to sell it to Putin.
But
because uranium is a US "national security" product, various US federal
agencies have to OK the deal. One of those agencies is the US State
Department.
The State Department is headed up by Hillary Clinton. Her Department says yes to the uranium deal.
The
kicker? Those Canadian mining executives, who wanted the sale to Putin
to go through, donated millions to the Clinton Foundation.
Getting the picture?
Memory
is short. On April 23, 2015, the NY Times ran a story under the
headline: Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal.
The
bare bones of the story: a Canadian company called Uranium One
controlled a great deal of uranium production in the US. It was sold to
Russia (meaning Putin and his minions). So Putin now controls 20% of US
uranium production.
From the Times: "...the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States."
From
the Times: "The [Pravda] article, in January 2013, detailed how the
Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company
[Uranium One] with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia
to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world's largest
uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of
controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.
"But
the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the
Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who
would like to be the next one.
"At the heart of
the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who
have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President
Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and
eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as
Uranium One.
"Frank Giustra...a mining financier, has donated $31.3 million to the foundation run by former President Bill Clinton..."
"Since
uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national
security, the deal [to sell Uranium One to Putin] had to be approved by
a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States
government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was
the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
"As the Russians gradually assumed
control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013,
Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton
Foundation. Uranium One's chairman used his family foundation to make
four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not
publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton
had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors.
Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
"And
shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a
majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a
Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin
that was promoting Uranium One stock."
If you're
Putin and you're sitting in Moscow, and the uranium deal has just
dropped this bonanza into your lap, what's your reaction---after you
stop laughing and popping champagne corks? Or maybe you never really
stop laughing. Maybe this is a joke that keeps on giving. You wake up in
the middle of the night with a big grin plastered on your face, and you
can't figure out why...and then you remember, oh yeah, the uranium
deal. The US uranium. Who's running the show in America? Ha-ha-ha. Some
egregious dolt? Maybe he's a sleeper agent we forgot about and he
reactivated himself. And this Clinton Foundation---how can the beautiful
couple get away with that? And she's going to be the next President?
Can we give her a medal? Can we put up a statue of her in a park? Does
Bill need any more hookers?
You shake your head
and go back to sleep. You see a parade of little boats carrying uranium
from the US to Russia. A pretty line of putt-putt boats. You chuckle.
Row, row, row your boat...merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...life is
but a dream.
Good times.
Final
note: there is a great deal of difference between a major outlet like
the NY Times running their Clinton/uranium piece for one day---and
pounding on it for weeks and months. In the latter case, they would let
loose the hounds, who would probe and push and interview relevant people
and get confessions and parlay those confessions up the food
chain---blowing the story into an enormous scandal---which it is.
The
Times had its hands on a volcanic piece...and they let it drop. Because
the ceiling and the limit had been reached. The Times basically
executed what's called a limited hangout, a partial exposure of a story
that was getting too hot to suppress entirely.
The
limited hangout allows the venting of steam---and then nothing more. In
this case, the Clinton camp denies there was any quid pro quo, they
assert Hillary had nothing to do with the uranium deal, and the curtain
falls.
Thus you have the reality which the major
media did expose, vs. the reality they could have exposed. The "could
have" part would have changed current history---but it was squelched,
and put under wraps.
Tossed on the junk heap.
