Is uranium at the heart of the Oregon Malheur federal-protestor standoff?  That's the question I'm asking.  It isn't a flippant question. I realize there are many other issues swirling around this event.  The Hammonds, the Bundys, militias, the feds, cattle grazing on federal lands, federal land grabs, and so on.  This article isn't meant to take apart those matters. It's meant to follow up on my previous article, "The Clintons: how Putin grabbed a fifth of all US uranium," (embedded in full in the blog post of this article (see link above)) in which I present a circumstantial case for the Clintons' heavy involvement in a scheme that's transferred 20% of US uranium production to Putin and Russia.  And the key company in that piece is Uranium One.  Remember the name.  It's apparently a major clue in what I'm about to discuss. I also want to say, at the outset, that I don't know how many independent news outlets and websites are covering the uranium question, or which outlet initiated this line of investigation.  I'm relying on one provocative January 23 article at intellihub, by Shepard Ambellas: "Clinton Foundation took massive payoffs, promised Hammond Ranch and other publicly owned lands to Russians, along with one-fifth of our uranium ore." Down in the body of that article, the author provides a link to a page at the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which is a federal agency under the Department of the Interior.   On that BLM page, in a section titled, "Uranium on BLM-Administered Lands in OR/WA," is the following statement: "In September 2011, a representative from Oregon Energy, L.L.C. (formally Uranium One), met with local citizens, and county and state officials, to discuss the possibility of opening a uranium oxide ('yellowcake') mine in southern Malheur County in southeastern Oregon. Oregon Energy is interested in developing a 17-Claim parcel of land known as the Aurora Project through an open pit mining method. Besides the mine, there would be a mill for processing. The claim area occupies about 450 acres and is also referred to as the 'New U' uranium claims. "On May 7, 2012, Oregon Energy LLC made a presentation to the BLM outlining its plans for development for the mine. "The Vale District has agreed to work with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife on mitigation for the 'New U' uranium claims, which are located in core sage grouse habitat. Although the lands encompassing the claims have been designated core, the area is frequented by rockhounds and hunters, and has a crisscrossing of off-highway vehicle (OHV) roads and other significant land disturbance from the defunct Bretz Mercury Mine, abandoned in the 1960s. "However, by the fall of 2012 the company said that it was putting its plans for the mine on hold until the uncertainty surrounding sage grouse issues was resolved." The first sentence in that BLM section ties together several key elements of the story: Uranium One; a uranium mine; southern Malheur County.  Southern Malheur is the general area of the federal-protestor standoff.  Let me give you that first sentence again: "In September 2011, a representative from Oregon Energy, L.L.C. (formally Uranium One), met with local citizens, and county and state officials, to discuss the possibility of opening a uranium oxide ('yellowcake') mine in southern Malheur County in southeastern Oregon." What does this have to do with Hillary and Bill Clinton?  I'll reprint my previous article so you can read the details, but the short version is: there's a case to be made that they, through Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation, facilitated the sale of Uranium One to Putin and the Russians.  And if so, and if this area of Oregon is projected to be part of that uranium mining deal, then we are looking at a stunning "coincidence": the US federal government is coming down hard on a group of protestors who are occupying, for their own reasons, a very valuable piece of territory that goes far beyond the issue of private cattle grazing on government land. It comes under the heading of those old familiar lines: you have no idea what you're involved in; you have no idea who you're messing with; this is way over your head; you just stepped into the middle of something that's bigger than you can imagine.

So we have the Clintons, and Uranium One sold to Putin, and that sale gives him control of 20% of US uranium production.  Now we have an area in Southern Oregon which has uranium, and in this area, the feds are coming down on the protestors and the occupiers. What are the feds really trying to protect?  Are they just trying to stop cattle grazing and routine burns on that land, or is there something more far precious at stake? The feds aren't known for making delicate distinctions.  People are raising a bit of hell in the general (or specific) area where uranium mining could commence.  Get them out of there!  Move them off!  No more cattle grazing here!  This is a matter of national security! Or it was.  Now it's a matter of Russian national security. Make deal, protect the dealers.  It's business. Consider the potential scandal and the massive irony: US citizens are asserting their sovereign right to use federal land, land that should never have been co-opted by the federal government in the first place---and now it turns out to be Russian land.
