NRC approves uranium license transfer in Wyoming (to a Russian company)

Boston Globe ^ | 12/1/2010 | Mead Gruver

Two uranium mines in Wyoming are on their way to control by a Russian company now that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved transferring the mines' licenses

The commission last week approved the license transfer involving a Russian company, JSC Atomoredzoloto, or ARMZ, which expects to obtain a controlling interest in Canadian-owned Uranium One by year's end. Uranium One holds the licenses for a proposed in-situ uranium mine and an existing in-situ uranium mine in northeast Wyoming.

From Heritage.org, November 27, 2006:

The death of former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, last week from radioactive Polonium-210 poisoning is the latest in a series of politically motivated attacks on the outspoken opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Appearing alongside high-profile opponents of President Putin, he [Alexander Litvinenko] has continued to make allegations about his former bosses. Perhaps most notably, he alleged that al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was trained by the FSB in Dagestan in the years before 9/11".

Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew

In a bizarre 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."

"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."

"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."

Calm yourselves. The Russians have hardly ever had any mishaps with nuclear energy technology that resulted in a large dead zone around an open-air reactor, plus the administration of hundreds of thousands of iodine tablets throughout Europe. Thanks markomalley.

• Obama administration reimposes offshore oil drilling ban

at least we had the illusion of competency with the Bush regime ....with Obama it’s an all out direct assault and looting on the US economy

[1rudeboy]

Let’s review: you parachute onto the thread with the news that Russia is not a threat. Others respond to you that it is. You accuse them of pointing fingers, and blame Bush. Does that about cover it?

How long before this uranium ends up in Iran or North Korea?

..or in our water( although some water supplies already have it).

It is said to have a lithium like calming effect ("Isn't that lovely"? -_Marvin the Martian

[Kackikat]

Russia is tied to Iran, and YES they are helping them out, and Chavez/Venezuala is also helping out....the comrades and the jhadists joining forces.

Foreign investment in US energy companies has been around a long time:

That graph certainly shows RATS (Clinton and Obama) don't try to protect America's energy security.....

.....They disproportionately allow it to be sold to foreign interests.

“Lenin’s picture is probably more popular in the US than in Russia “

Correct. He was pulled down in all the Russian cities, but still stands ... in Seattle.

We have more socialists in positions of power in the US (academia and Govt) than in Russia and China.
