“a uranium procession facility..”
A procession facility?

Lots to choose from.
MS-13, Chinese nationals, jihadis, Central American gangs and antifa.
My brother lives down in Spring City is only a couple miles from the dam.
Attacking rural America — they’d do it in a skinny minute. And maybe are.
Antifa made some threats against rural America and we all laughed about them confronting country people but maybe they didn’t mean attack us like they have been in liberal cities. They’d get shot in a New York minute if they tried. I’m wondering if this is how they plan to do it and not get killed in the process. All of these train derailments of hazardous chemicals can’t be a coincidence. Now Oak Ridge? Makes you wonder. It does me anyway.
Y-12 is on the far end out the county from me. 20 miles or so driving down the valley from Union County to west Anderson Co.. Maybe 15 miles air distance.
While 95% of what our communist masters tell us is pure B.S., you can be assured that factors of wokeness, diversity, LGBT, or climate change played a substantial role in the incompetence leading to the event...
Probably won’t doing there. We spent a lot of time in OR for work. Lots of imports working at OR. I am sure they passed their security screening. Total tinfoil… I would say Russia and Iran could easily have dozens of “scientists” there. Vetted by our FBI and homeland security to ensure they are diverse.
