Unocal used to own and operate the only commercially viable lanthanides mine in the US, in the vicinity of the Chocolate Mountains in the Mojave desert. Lanthanides are rare earths which have several unique and essential applications in military technology. Due solely to the totally corrupt machinations of Senator Feinslime several years back, Unocal was forced to curtail its lanthanides mining operations. At the time, the only other source for the rare earths in question was a mainland China company, a company by the oddest coincidence involved in business dealings with Feinslime's husband. It is possible that Unocal still holds the mineral rights to its Kali operation. If so, the sale of Unocal to the Chicoms would give them control of a natural resource critical to our national defense.
Thank you for reminding all about that. Lots of state Democrats made a bundle off those shenanigans as well as the lovely Mr. Feinstein, Richard Blum.
So make Unocal divest those mines as condition of sale.
