People have this weird habit. It's called self preservation. Come to find out that airlines are in the business of getting people to their destination safely. And, if there are problems along the way, getting them there safely. Late, maybe. But safely. Antarctica does not facilitate any sort of alternate landing field strategy if there is a problem. Hostile environment that kills if forced down. No ATC coverage. Shitty radio reception. A very long list of reasons. Not allowed, kek

An Anon mentioned several months ago something I had not known. John Kerry went to Antarctica right after POTUS was elected. Decided to start digging on Antarctica. With Uranium One and Kerry's uranium deal with the Iranians being recent on my mind. Looking first for any possibility of a Uranium/Antarctica connection to explain Kerry's movements.
Many digs later I have arrived at a few conclusions.
1: They talked way more openly about presumably naturally occurring Uranium deposits in Antarctica during the last century than they do during this one.
2: This century the reporting seems to be accounting for any mention of Uranium in Antarctica as being due to atmospheric contamination blown in from uranium ore processing in Australia. With one mention found of readings related to fallout from cold war nuclear weapons testing.
3: There is a treaty that prohibits any mining in Antarctica but some of my digs find that the treaty is not even mentioned in news stories where it certainly should be mentioned.
4: There are a couple of mineral deposit maps of Antarctica in my digs. The legends even show a symbol for uranium. But I don't see any uranium marked on the maps!
5: If clandestine uranium mining operations exist in Antarctica then keeping them secret is the only way to avoid an international incident. An international treaty violation that directly relates to the raw materials for nuclear weapons production. We're talking serious blowback here folks. Potential for massive financial corruption seems to be great as well.
I'm left asking myself if something once in the public domain could be marked as classified at a later time? Seems possible but silly. Also would seem to be the hallmark of black hat treachery. Would an attempt at scrubbing the internet draw more attention, and possibly cause more damage, than just laying low and hoping for the best? Is it problematic to censor institutions of higher learning websites?
Anon sees a tamp down in the timeline. Find myself wanting high resolution imagery of the entire continent of Antarctica. And anon is doubtful such would be available as free open source data. The perfect hiding place.
The digs start in 1958 and run up to as recently as October 2019 and the current C_A World Fact Book (makes no mention of well documented uranium deposits in Antarctica). Is uranium valuable? You bet it is! Is uranium also the perfect commodity for ill gotten gains? It certainly lends itself quite well to the practice of secrecy. What with it being such a national, and international, security factor to government policies. Plausible to keep it behind the curtain. Automatic ironclad excuses generate few questions. Oldest digs posted first. Most recent last.

>Why do all the nations come together there, even those who normally oppose each other?
Well, for one thing there is a treaty. But, if one were to ask the same question regarding some other country on earth, look at the answer, then apply it to Antarctica then one may be getting very close to truth. Corruption and money laundering. Gold bars? Uranium bars? Both are valuable commodities. But when it is Uranium it gets special treatment and fewer questions asked because the answers are naturally issues of national security and subject to classifications of the highest levels. A very large, and very heavy diplomatic pouch, if you will. Don't talk about seeing this shipment because it is Uranium. Oh, okay. Wish I had not asked. That sort of thing. Makes Burisma look like child's play really. It is common knowledge that leftover chemical traces from any nuclear explosion can analyzed and traced back to who made it. But clandestine uranium along with clandestine processing and weapons construction might mean that one day those rules might not apply. A frightening proposition. To say the least. Of course many would get rich along the way. Just grab your money and kick the can down the road. And just to clarify for the simple minded among us. This is just a theory. But if true, those guys at the south pole almost certainly have nothing to do with it and don't know a damn thing about it.
