Russia Sold Its Stake in Uranium One Shortly Before Invading Ukraine – The Same Company Clintons Helped Turn Over to Russians

We knew before the 2016 Election that the Clintons made a lot of money in the sale of US uranium, owned by Uranium One, to Russia.

As previously reported, the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin prior to Obama admin handing over 20% of America’s Uranium to Russia, according to a devastating report by John Solomon via The Hill.

Who was right in the middle of it all? HILLARY CLINTON. MILLIONS of dollars flowed to the Clinton Foundation as our Uranium rights were sold to Russia while she was Secretary of State.

The Uranium One deal was covered up by the mainstream media as they do with all corruption related to the Democrat Party. But eventually, word got out and we were reporting on the many connections to the sale of Uranium One.

Later in November of 2018, a whistleblower came to the US government with information on Uranium One. This individual tied information from the sale of Uranium One to Russia with the Clintons and other top Democrat politicians.

In late November, this individual’s house was raided by sixteen FBI agents who spent six hours at his place looking for information related to Uranium One. After this, we never heard anything further from the whistleblower.

Today we’ve uncovered that Russia sold its stake in Uranium One in November 2021 shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine. According to Russia’s state-owned energy company, Rosatom, Russia sold its stake in Uranium One in November 2021.

Uranium One has entered into an agreement with the American company Uranium Energy Corp. for the sale of all of the shares of its subsidiary, Uranium One Americas, Inc. (Uranium One Americas).

The assets of Uranium One Americas are situated in Wyoming, and include seven uranium projects in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and five in the Great Divide Basin. The total purchase price is comprised of $112 million in cash and the replacement (with certain corresponding payments to Uranium One) of $19 million in reclamation bonding.

The sale is carried out within the framework of the strategy of Uranium One to optimize the portfolio of uranium mining assets, aimed at increasing economic efficiency. The closing of the sale is subject to certain regulatory approvals.

It looks like the Russians knew the US would take back their stake in Uranium One after their invasion of Ukraine so they sold their piece in the company before the US took it over.

Joe Biden Eliminates U.S. Tariffs on More than 350 China-Made Products

President Joe Biden’s administration has eliminated United States tariffs on more than 350 products made in China, nearly all of which could be made in the U.S. or other countries.

The Section 301 tariffs on billions of dollars worth of China-made products were first imposed by former President Trump after a decades-long free trade consensus in Washington, D.C., that has eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the U.S. economy from 2001 to 2018.

Late last week, Biden’s U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai announced that after an extensive review process on nearly 550 China-made products subject to U.S. tariffs, the administration would eliminate tariffs on 352 of those products.

The China-made products that will escape U.S. tariffs thanks to Biden include breast pumps, solar water heaters, garage door openers, X-ray tables, and thermostats, as well as food products from China such as crab meat, Dungeness crab, and Alaskan sole.

“Once again, multinational importers and their army of Washington lobbyists have protected their ability to import cheap Chinese goods over sourcing from American manufacturers,” Zach Mottl, chairman of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), said in a statement:

We are disappointed that the Biden administration granted exclusions to the 301 tariffs on many Chinese products that have alternatives that are made or could be made right here in America, or are made outside of China. [Emphasis added]

As China supports and enables Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we should be decoupling rather than providing their companies revenue from U.S. consumers. We will continue to fight against those in Congress who want to use taxpayer dollars to refund importers that profit off of cheap Chinese goods, as well as efforts to weaken the 301 tariffs despite China’s continued IP theft, rampant government subsidization, use of forced labor, and violation of the Phase One trade deal. [Emphasis added]

As Breitbart News exclusively reported for months, a group of 140 House Republicans and Democrats had been lobbying Biden to cut U.S. tariffs on China-made products.

GOP signatories included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as well as Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Ken Buck (R-CO), Young Kim (R-CA), and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH).

As Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney has chronicled for years, there has been little-to-no evidence that U.S. tariffs on China have raised consumer costs for Americans.

A study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years.

Ex-Trump official, ex-CIA officer clash over Hunter Biden laptop on Twitter

The former head of US intelligence blasted one of the officials who signed the letter casting doubt on Hunter Biden’s laptop — calling him a lying “phony” and igniting a Twitter war over the weekend.

The spat erupted Saturday when Richard Grenell, the former Trump-appointed acting director of national intelligence, reacted to a post from John Sipher, who retired from the CIA in 2014, about ethical behavior among public servants.

“Didn’t @john_sipher sign a letter 3 weeks before the 2020 elections saying don’t look at Hunter Biden’s laptop because it’s Russian disinformation?” Grenell tweeted Saturday. “Now he’s lecturing people about ethical behavior?! These people have no shame….”

The letter was signed by 51 former intelligence officials, including Sipher, and released after the New York Post revealed the existence of the laptop, which Biden left at a Delaware computer repair shop, in October 2020.

It contained a trove of emails about Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine that implicated his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden.

At the time the report was published, Biden was the Democratic presidential nominee.

The exchange between Sipher and Grenell appeared to be prompted by a tweet that ​called for Republicans — if they take control of Congress this year — to revoke the security clearance of all former intelligence community members who signed the Biden letter.

The heated back-and-forth bled into Sunday when Grenell admonished Sipher for signing the letter that wrongly discredited the laptop as Russian disinformation. Sipher was among the dozens of signatories who then refused to respond to The Post when asked whether they would apologize now that the New York Times confirmed the existence of the laptop.

​”​You signed the letter and then refused to respond to th​e ​@nypos​t​. So stop the name calling and answer – is Hunter Biden’s laptop Russian disinformation?​” Grenell posted. ​

He followed up that post with another.

”​While I was calling for sanctions on Putin’s pipeline,​ ​@john_sipher​ ​was saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. You lied. There wasn’t a single piece of intel that suggested it​,” Grenell said in the tweet, linking to a Post editorial seeking a response from Sipher and the others.

​Sipher responded to Grenell, saying “read the letter.”

​”​There are no lies there. The Russians clearly used the issue to damage our country but you and your ilk merely enabled and furthered Russian disinformation. Then again, you will support anything – even lies – to suck up to Trump​,” Sipher tweeted.

Grenell countered that he’s “obsessed” with identifying people who “manipulated intelligence for their partisan political gain.”

“YOU said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. You told the public not to take the laptop seriously. You pretended to have seen intel,” he said. “You didn’t even get a briefing!”

Sipher responded, “Ha.”

“Says the man who failed to say a word when his boss said he trusted Putin more than his own intelligence community,” Sipher said.​

Two minutes later, Grenell shot back. ​

“​Lol. He can run but he can’t hide​,” he said. “​He’s a phony. Who lied about intel.​”

Philippines: Chinese Ship’s Close Distance Maneuvering a ‘Clear Violation’

MANILA—The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Sunday reported a recent incident of “close distance maneuvering” by a Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessel in the disputed South China Sea that “constrained” the movement of a Philippine ship sailing nearby.

The March 2 incident took place during the PCG’s maritime patrol operations around the Scarborough Shoal, locally known as Bajo de Masinloc, the PCG said in a news release.

It was yet unclear whether the Philippines had lodged a diplomatic protest for the incident. The PCG said it had to wait for the go-signal from the country’s National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea before making the incident public.

The incident involved a CCG vessel with bow number 3305 that conducted close distance maneuvering over an area of approximately 21 yards (19.2 meters) in the direction of Philippine vessel BRP Malabrigo, the PCG said.

“This constrained the maneuvering space of BRP Malabrigo—a clear violation of the 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS),” the PCG said.

The PCG had asked the country’s Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to help address the issue through “rules-based and peaceful approaches,” according to the PCG commandant, Admiral Artemio Abu.

The DFA and the Chinese embassy in Manila did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Chinese regime lays claim to most of the waters within a so-called Nine Dash Line in the South China Sea, which is also contested by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Abu said it was the fourth reported incident of close distance maneuvering involving CCG and Philippine vessels in the Scarborough Shoal since May last year.

Despite the risks, Abu said the deployment of Philippine assets and personnel to waters within the country’s exclusive economic zones would continue.

Ex-Obama Homeland Security head says 'everyone in the western world' agrees with Biden that Putin 'cannot remain in power' as Republican senator scolds the president to 'stay on script': Lawmaker calls ad-libbed comment a 'horrendous gaffe'

'He's a war criminal…such a person should not remain in power,' Obama-era Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said of Vladimir Putin on Sunday

In Poland on Saturday, Biden appeared to make an ad-libbed call for the Russian autocrat to be toppled from power amid his invasion of Ukraine

The White House rushed to walk back the president's comments

Democrat Senators Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker insisted Biden was not calling for regime change and emphasized what the US is doing for Ukraine

GOP Senator Jim Risch said Biden's speech was 'good' but sharply criticized the president for his off-the-cuff remark

Republican Sen. Rob Portman claimed the comment 'plays into the hands of the Russian propagandists and plays into the hands of Vladimir Putin'

Ukraine's ambassador to the US said her people heard Biden's message in Poland 'loud and clear'

Barack Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson stood as an outlier on Sunday defending President Joe Biden's off-the-cuff remark that Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power.'

'I'm not sure I would have walked it back,' the first black DHS chief told NBC's Meet the Press, claiming 'everyone in the western world' backed the sentiment.

Johnson added of Putin, 'He's a war criminal. He's slaughtering innocent men, women and children. He illegally invaded Ukraine. And he's got command and control of nuclear weapons. Such a person should not remain in power.'

It comes as federal lawmakers on both sides of the aisle scramble to downplay the president's remarks, some reiterating existing US policy while Republican Senator Jim Risch chided Biden to 'stay on script.'

Risch called the comment a 'horrendous gaffe.'

Meanwhile Ukraine's ambassador to the US said her people heard the president's message 'loud and clear.'

Biden appeared to call for the Russian autocrat's removal on Saturday during an emotionally-charged speech in Warsaw after meeting with Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Kremlin's brutal and unprovoked invasion.

'For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power,' he said. 'This battle will not be won in days or months either. We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.'
