JALLENFBI informant spills beans on uranium deal
Link to lengthy articleSarah Carter tells the story. Good read.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown February 08, 2018, 09:04 AM

Ticaboo, Utah? Never heard of it. I have heard of Picaboo Street, though. In Park City, I think.

RogBThe sale of 20% of our uranium deposits to Russia continues to be confusing.
For example, this excerpt from forbes.com:
"But here’s the thing ― by 20%, we really mean almost zero.
Those U.S. facilities obtained by Russia produce almost nothing. The uranium deposits are of relatively poor grade and are too costly to compete on the uranium market. But the facilities do have good milling capacity to process ore, if anyone gives it to them, which hasn’t happened in about 10 years. Theoretically, they could process 20% of our ore, but that will never happen. Uranium One couldn’t give these facilities away.
Besides, Russia can’t export any uranium they produce in the U.S. They do not possess a Nuclear Regulatory Commission export license.
The real reason Russia wanted this deal was to give Rosatom’s subsidiary Uranium One’s very profitable uranium mines in Kazakhstan ― the single largest producer of commercial uranium in the world."

GT-40DOCFox news is also running a story on this very thing this morning. I am just loving seeing the layers of this "onion" get peeled back.

I think there are countless dirty players who needed Harpy to win so they could remain under cover. Now they are panicking and projecting with wild abandon.

Yes, and this is one of the reasons the sale was approved, but a few months ago when they were talking about this it seems something happened with another company getting the license and exporting "cake" through them or something. I don't know the details but is seems they found a way around that restriction even though the Obama administration said all was good because they would never get an export license.
