The next time you hear a Leftist radical – er, I mean
Democrat – tell you that Crooked Hillary did not approve Uranium One
because she was just one of nine who gave unanimous support OR that President Barry Soetoro – er, I mean
Barack Hussein Obama – was the greatest President in U.S.; then direct
them to this very informative essay by Andrew Benjamin.

The Obama Uranium-1 Story even FOX News Won’t Speak
About!
November 17, 2017
Midday on November 14th, FOX
News talking head Shepard Smith, whom we might charitably label as a liberal
non-heterosexual who may not like Donald Trump, meaning his politics have
everything to do with his sexual preferences and whom he would vote for, and
very little to do with reality, gave the nation a much-needed reality check.
Hillary Clinton is innocent
of all charges. As Shepard opened his mouth, we saw former FBI Director James
Comey’s eyes peeking out.
Shepard’s was a monologue
over which the liberal press went bananas. Or “ape” if you will.
You see, the
Clinton-Uranium-1 Story is, according to Shepard and the Kool Aid his media
mates at CNN and MSNBC drink, a fairytale. Or given the much overused cliché, “a nothing burger”, a
fabrication of The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
The line is the line
according to Smith and his media mates on every other channel that would give
the death penalty to Team Trump and his family at the earliest opportunity, for
the mere outrage of winning an election, with the stories of every Democrat
calling for impeachment.
“The accusation is
predicated on the charge that Secretary Clinton approved the sale. She did not.
A committee of nine evaluated the sale, the president approved the sale, the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and others had to offer permits, and none of the
uranium was exported for use by the U.S. to Russia.” said Smith.

News’ Shep Smith Methodically Debunks Uranium One Conspiracy Theories [Blog Editor: Leftist Shep Hogwash]
Smith’s monologue was meant
to dispel any suspicion still hanging in with FOX viewers about the Clintons
who have, throughout their illustrious careers, only benefited the nation. It
was meant to reinforce in liberal minds the fact that Donald Trump colluded
with Vladimir Putin who made them pull 63 million levers across America for
Donald Trump. It is meant to fix in one’s mind the notion that the entire Trump
Team is guilty of perjury and even treason. And the idea that Barack Obama
colluded with Hillary and the Russians about anything is preposterous, since
their suspected collusion is not reported on any channel except for Shepard’s,
and therefore does not exist.
The gist of Shepard’s
historical “innovation” is that Hillary Clinton is wholly innocent of
accusations about how and why the $145 million wound up in her family’s slush
fund AFTER the sale took place. It is to dispel the notion of a possible RICO
(organized crime) investigation into the Clinton Matter. Shepard’s spin
suggests that the Clintons are hardly greedy, in fact, never; or self-dealing
and treacherous. Donald Trump is, for questioning the Clinton Matter in tweets.
The bottom-line of Shepard’s
astonishing Aesop’s Fables and the non-contextualization of history (as well as
the record of the players), was that there were nine cabinet members of
CIFUS, The Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States, who had unanimously, of their free will, approved
the “good deal” that was ultimately approved by the president himself. The same
president who appointed the self-same cabinet.
Clearly, as in law, precedent
must rule in this matter, the same as the precedent for the Iran Nuke
Deal which was a Good Deal for America (that
was the line our past president from some central African nation told us); as
the North Korean Nuke Deal was a Good Deal for America (which was the line the
husband of the last female Democrat presidential candidate told the nation over
two decades ago); as is the Uranium-1 good deal from which ONLY the Clinton Family Foundation profited.
It had to be a Good Deal for America, and the $145 million slush fund the
Clintons can do with as they will happens to be a sidebar.
Every deal from which
America’s enemies profit has to be a Good Deal for America.
Or charity - if you will.
Especially with all the Good
Deals in which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama got involved.
For example:
1)
The BenghaziGate Good Deal in
which the United States got run out of North Africa by a band of extremist
religious thugs, got Americans killed just to make the deal better, and made
certain that that nation was taken over by ISIS.
2)
The Russian Reset Button Good Deal which set the stage for Putin’s takeover
of Crimea and then Syria.
3)
The Iran Nukes Good Deal
which insured that Iran will not only continue to develop IBCM’s - Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles -
but in less than eight years arm them with MIRVs - Multiple Re-entry Vehicles tipped with nuclear
bombs. that Good Deal was meant to make Americans happy.
4)
The Eric Holder Fast & Furious Good
Deal in which 55,000 Mexicans and some
Americans were murdered by weapons seized by Barack Obama and Holder from
American citizens, and given to the Mexican drug cartels. Hillary was SecState
at the time dealing “diplomatically” with Mexico for America’s benefit.
5)
The IRS-gate Good Deal in which American organizations and
groups with words in their names such as “American,” “Patriot,” “Constitution,”
and similar suggesting a faith in law and allegiance to the nation, were
targeted for examination - and then deliberately paralyzed from raising funds
for political campaigns.
6)
The DNC-Clinton Primary Fix-Gate Good Deal
in which a year prior to the presidential primaries one candidate received, by
written agreement from the Party itself, full control of the party, its
activities and decision-making, and all the money the party raised. Funds which
she promptly redirected to her own campaign and into her own pockets. Clearly,
she was never greedy and self-dealing and never had any interest in uranium.
Under the greatest president ever, Barack Obama, and his
former SecState Hillary, Good Deals for America were almost a daily occurrence
and even Settled Science.
In 2009 and 2010, in a bid to corner and dominate the global
uranium market, Russia’s atomic energy agency, Rosatom,
was anxious to take over a majority stake in the uranium mining company UrAsia
formerly owned by Clinton ally and benefactor, Canadian Frank Giustra.
After the board members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States appointed
by Barack Obama with Hillary Clinton’s nod approved the sale, as well as
managing the approval of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
leadership appointed by Barack Obama at Clinton’s behest, Russia bought the
rest of Uranium One in 2013. Clearly, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had
nothing to do with this Good Deal to benefit the American People and put
America’s uranium assets in Russian hands.
As the CFIUS includes the State Department as one of the
regulatory body’s members, Hillary asserted that she had nothing to do with
“massaging” the deal because she never had any interest in money, uranium,
or even her own agency at State. She kept insisting that a number of agencies
had agreed to the good deal for America because they too, had no interest in
making the Clintons fabulously wealthy. According to the latest reports from
insider sources on the inside speaking anonymously behind closed doors at an
undetermined date and place, she did not go so far as to suggest that selling
off America’s assets and wealth was also a good deal, but we might presume that
she was thinking it.
What Shepard Smith failed to disclose is that the “friendly”
- as opposed to hostile - Uranium One takeover began in 2005. Meanwhile behind
the scenes we presume Hillary Clinton was the senator at the time pushing the
deal. And Frank Giustra still owned the company.
The Clintons were at his side for no reason at all all
this time. For example, no reason like this, reported by the Times:
“The $500,000 (speaking) fee (in
Moscow)—among Mr. Clinton’s highest—was paid by Renaissance Capital, a Russian
investment bank with ties to the Kremlin…”
Meanwhile, as Team Clinton reportedly spent $1.2 Billion on
getting her elected to the presidency mostly so no investigation will ever be
launched into the Clinton Good Deals (that $1.2B represents One Thousand Two
Hundred times a Million dollars) CNN gave you updates 24/7 for months
about the Russians using FACEBOOK to
infringe on American democracy and turn an American election in Donald Trump’s
favor.
With the $6500 that FACEBOOK reported the Russians spent.
An amount that would not buy a used steel, never mind, gold,
Rolex.
According to the Times:
The two men had flown aboard Mr.
Giustra’s private jet to Almaty, Kazakhstan, where they dined with the
authoritarian president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. Mr. Clinton handed the Kazakh
president a propaganda coup when he expressed support for Mr. Nazarbayev’s bid
to head an international elections monitoring group, undercutting American
foreign policy and criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among
others, his wife, (Hillary Clinton) then a senator.
Within days of the visit, Mr.
Giustra’s fledgling company, UrAsia Energy Ltd., signed a preliminary deal
giving it stakes in three uranium mines controlled by the state-run uranium
agency Kazatomprom.
If the Kazakh deal was a major
victory, UrAsia did not wait long before resuming the hunt. In 2007, it merged
with Uranium One, a South African company with assets in Africa and Australia,
in what was described as a $3.5 billion transaction. The new company, which
kept the Uranium One name, was controlled by UrAsia investors including Ian
Telfer, a Canadian who became chairman. Through a spokeswoman, Mr. Giustra,
whose personal stake in the deal was estimated at about $45 million, said he
sold his stake in 2007.
Soon, Uranium One began to snap
up companies with assets in the United States. In April 2007, it announced the
purchase of a uranium mill in Utah and more than 38,000 acres of uranium
exploration properties in four Western states, followed quickly by the
acquisition of the Energy Metals Corporation and its uranium holdings in
Wyoming, Texas and Utah. That deal made clear that Uranium One was intent on
becoming “a powerhouse in the United States uranium sector with the potential
to become the domestic supplier of choice for U.S. utilities,” the company
declared. ‚Ķ The Times published an article revealing the 2005 trip’s
link to Mr. Giustra’s Kazakhstan mining deal. It also reported that several
months later, Mr. Giustra had donated $31.3 million to
Mr. Clinton’s foundation.
What Shepard Smith neglected to disclose among all the good
deals going down among his media mates at CNN and MSNBC, The NY Times and
WashPo, is the timing and the timeline, and that 1 + 1 may actually equal 2.
Possibly 3.
The Times:
“Mr. Telfer’s (the chairman of
UrAsia) undisclosed donations came in addition to between $1.3 million and $5.6
million in contributions, which were reported, from a constellation of people
with ties to Uranium One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium
One’s most valuable asset: the Kazakh mines. Without those assets, the Russians
would have had no interest in the deal…..”
At least no interest in the deal until a former president
who made previous Good Deals that armed North Korea with nukes and ICBMs, came
to the rescue with a $500,000 speech that lasted at most 10 minutes, with
“guarantees” for millions more to arrive shortly for which no speeches will
will [sic] be made. And a box of cigars.
Bill Clinton, with Hillary at his side in the early years,
made sure that the Kahakh mines would become Russian mines. And the American
mines become Russian mines. She was SecState at the time, and if you’re seeing
a conflict of interest and self-dealing, you are seeing things.
It appears Shepard deliberately neglected the obvious for
political reasons of his own, in a speech that LeftMedia is now
celebrating thinking that FOX News, just like they, are now in the tank with
the Clinton narrative. Look, $145 million goes a long way to persuade the
reluctant that the sky is not blue.
For after all, there are no more deserving people to benefit
from all the Good Deals than the ones who made them: Barack Obama and the
Clintons.
Theirs is the Good Deal that stipulated that:
1. The $145,000,000 that wound up at the Clinton Family
Foundation for no reason at all got there for no reason at all.
and
2. That, for no reason at all Barack Obama appointed ALL the
voters at CIFUS and the other agencies under his command who approved the Good
Deal without ANY dissent. And then Barry approved the sale himself according to
Smith.
For absolutely no reason at all.
Not even the $145,000,000 reason and a genuine replica
of the Reset Button.
