Before I begin please read parts 1 and 2 (out of 4) of my RIGHT SIDE
PATRIOTS partner Craig Andresen's expose on these federal land grabs
either on his blog 'The National Patriot'
www.thenationalpatriot.com or on my blog 'The Patriot Factor'
www.thepatriotfactor.blogspot.com as each part leads into the next part.
Now let's recap some important facts...according to the
Congressional Research Service, the federal government (including the
U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, National Parks,
and military bases) controls roughly 81% of the land in Nevada, 62% in
Alaska, 67% in Utah, 53% in Oregon, 62% in Idaho, 42% in Arizona, 48% in
California, 48% in Wyoming, 35% in New Mexico, and 36% in Colorado, and
the BLM also controls 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estates
throughout the nation.

These numbers equate to roughly 260 million acres in the western
states...translating into a land grab equal to the size of Colorado and
Wyoming combined...with most of that land being listed as mixed-use land
(land allowing for two or more different types of uses, for example
land used by the public or rented to private companies)...but now the
feds want to transfer 140 million of those 260 million acres over to
what they call 'Treasured Land' status (land that NO citizen or private
company can access).
But why are the feds so interested in gobbling up the western lands
as opposed to lands in other parts of the country...as Craig told you in
Parts 1 and 2...it concerns reserves of oil and natural gas in addition
to controlling the flow of water (he who controls the water controls
the populace), but there is more to it and it has ramifications for
every man, woman, and child in these United States for what sits under
the surface of the land is what the feds are so desperate to
control...and in a word it's 'uranium.'
 |
| Uranium deposits on BLM land |
Uranium...one of the most precious elements on Earth...primarily
used for the generation of nuclear power, but it's also used for quite
another purpose...as in nuclear weapons...as in the main component of
America's nuclear arsenal lies under the surface of the lands the feds
are trying to grab.
And what will happen to all this uranium as thanks to Obama
lowering the numbers in our nuclear weapons arsenal and his placing a moratorium
on building any new nuclear power plants...nuclear power plants that
would help supply America's energy needs thus cutting our dependency on
foreign oil...on Arab oil. And remember, the feds would NOT be so
desperate to grab up land that was just going to sit there, so if we
can't mine or use the uranium then who will?
When you cut through all the subterfuge that is a hallmark of this
administration one country alone comes to mind...China. And China will
benefit from our uranium at the expense of the American people.
China currently has 49% of the world's reactors under
construction...we have 2%...so their need for uranium is great. And with
China on target to build and complete their much needed nuclear power
plants within 5 to 10 years in order to help supply clean energy to its
growing populace, China will need uranium and lots of it. And while
China does have some deposits of uranium, that uranium is embedded in
coal and burning that coal to get to the uranium would cause pollution
levels to rise to what's known as 'choking conditions'...levels so high
that just the idea of burning said coal has forced China's hand to
garner their supply of refinable uranium from other countries for their
energy needs.

Now enter center stage the U.S. With major deposits of uranium under
the surface of the lands the feds are trying to grab...and with the
U.S. owing China huge sums of money you just know that once the feds own
the land...actually steal the land...that 'suddenly' it will be
announced that this administration will allow China to mine the uranium
to pay off America's notes due. And in allowing China to mine the
uranium that they will ship home to be refined...and to probably drill
the oil and tap into the natural gas on these lands as well...a country
we owe countless dollars to will be allowed by the feds to strip our
lands of its natural resources...of energy sources our country could use to cut our dependency on foreign oil.
And why will Obama allow this...the answer is quite simple.
Remember, China has lent us billions of dollars and even when we
defaulted on the notes due, and even though we've only paid interest on
said notes, China continues to lend us money...continues to do so even
as the dollar declines in value, as our S&P credit ratings continue to drop, all
while Obama continues to have his hand out. So why is China willing to
lend us money...it's because China wants...China needs...the uranium
that's under our land because as their population grows they need to meet their
population's energy needs.
Simply, China does NOT want American land per se as some have
feared...China wants what's under the land and they want it
all...period. And as we continue to pile up notes owed to them, they
could very well will soon own it all because we are indeed indebted to
them.

And with the U.S. using 55 million pounds of uranium each
year...equating to 25% of the global supply...we only produce 5% of the
global supply...meaning we import over 90% of the uranium we use. But 5%
would still be enough to fuel all our energy needs so why don't we use
our own uranium...price manipulation is why. Think of it this way, if we
used our own uranium it would drive down the price of uranium on the
global market as we, the biggest buyers of uranium, would NOT be buying
what we need from others. By our NOT using our own supplies this helps
to keep the global commodities price of uranium artificially high. And
anyway, if we did use our own uranium, over time we would gain energy
independence and our economy would flourish cutting away at our
dependence on Arab oil.
And
there's a very strange caveat in all this for instead of
outright selling our uranium we instead export some of our uranium to
Canada
(amongst other countries including Taiwan NOW part of China) and in
return Canada imports their uranium back to us. And this makes NO sense
for why are we exporting what is being imported right back to us? The
answer to that is simple...Craig and I believe Canada might be acting as
a 'straw-man' for our uranium to be sent directly to mainland China NOT
having to go in small quantities through Taiwan and doing so under the
radar...remember Canada does sell its uranium to China so why NOT sell
them our exported uranium too. The feds make money...lots of unreported
money...Canada makes
money, and China is happy that they don't have to go to the costly
expense of refining it from their coal deposits which would add to their
pollution problems.
So as Barack HUSSEIN Obama revels in selling us out to China to pay
off the debts he's run up, an added bonus to him is that he gets to keep
us dependent on his brethren's oil for decades to come.

And guess what else is under the feds grabbed up lands that China so
desperately wants...that China so desperately needs...an element called
thorium. China is currently working on a uranium-free nuclear plant in
its attempt to break reliance on pollution causing fossil fuels and to
hold down the costs of having to refine uranium. And using the cheaper
and environmentally cleaner radioactive element thorium instead of
uranium would be a win-win for them all the way around.
Now add into the mix Iran who desperately needs uranium for
their nuclear ambitions. Iran does NOT have the needed deposits of raw
uranium so Iran must get their uranium from other countries...like their
trading partner China perhaps. But, if Obama allows China to mine
uranium on the lands they've grabbed to pay off our notes due, and if
China then decides to sell or trade some of the uranium they've mined in
the U.S...or if China gets our uranium through sales from Canada...we
still have NO control over what China does with anything coming from our
country. Think about that for moment...our uranium possibly mined by
China on U.S. soil or our uranium coming to them through Canadian
exports could be sold to Iran by China.
And here's a little something else to raise your ire...the BLM
claims that they're grabbing these lands to keep them environmentally
safe...to protect endangered species. And that is a lie as The Arizona
One Mine is producing uranium in northern Arizona on land managed by the
BLM itself. Originally approved by BLM in 1988, this mine has been in
active production since 2009, producing up to 300 tons of ore per day
that is processed at White Mesa Mill by Energy Fuels,
Inc., a Canadian company known to do business with China.

This company that sells to China also explores for mines, develops
and produces uranium and vanadium properties throughout the western
United States on property managed by the BLN, with its principal
properties located in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and
Wyoming ...the very lands the feds are grabbing up.
What a vicious circle of deceit and lies courtesy of our federal government.
And there is something else you need to know concerning what's under
the ground of the federally grabbed lands, and it will be explained in
tomorrow's Part 4 of Craig's and my expose on these government land
grabs...and it's something that will shock you like nothing before.
So,
this regime is planning to transfer 140 million acres of our western
lands from “mixed use” to “treasured lands” status soon which means that
NO individual or private company will have any access to them
whatsoever. 140 million acres…the combined size of Wyoming and Colorado
and for what?
