While serving as secretary of state to President Obama, Hillary Clinton delivered one fifth of America\u2019s uranium deposits to Russia. So charge investigators who have been delving into the murky \u2014\u00a0and very alarming \u2014\u00a0dealings of Secretary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation with a company known as Uranium One, and various \u201cprivate\u201d Russian companies and official Russian agencies. Moreover, her critics accuse Hillary and Bill Clinton of raking in a huge fortune (over $130 million) from the American, Canadian, and Russian investors who helped arrange for these Russian companies \u2014\u00a0under the control, ultimately, of Vladimir Putin \u2014\u00a0to take control of 20 percent of our strategic uranium assets. Indeed, according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control.<\/p>\n

This incredible story, with enormously important implications for our nation\u2019s security, has been percolating for over a year, since Peter Schweizer\u2019s bestselling expos\u00e9 Clinton Cash \u2014 The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0brought it to light. (See also here<\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Why does the explosive Clinton-Uranium One story\u00a0\u2014 which has been buried (naturally) by the pro-Hillary establishment media for the past year\u00a0\u2014 now take on new meaning and urgency? Well, for one thing, for the past several days Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has been trying to make hay with the charge that recent comments by her Republican rival, Donald Trump, show \u201ca very troubling willingness\u201d to support Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Fox News Sunday<\/a> on July 31, Clinton reiterated the narrative that her campaign and her media allies had been flogging since the Democratic National Convention the previous week: that Trump\u2019s off-the-cuff comments about her e-mail scandal<\/a>\u00a0amounted to Trump calling on a foreign adversary (Putin and Russia\u2019s intel agencies) to meddle in a U.S. election and engage in cyberespionage against this country. Russia\u2019s alleged hacking of her e-mail accounts, she said, “raises serious issues about Russian influence in our election.”<\/p>\n

“And for Mr. Trump to both encourage that and to praise Putin despite what appears to be a deliberate effort to try to affect the election, I think, raises national security issues,” she charged.\u00a0In the interview with Fox\u2019s Chris Wallace, Clinton charged that Trump\u2019s remarks on this issue show he is not \u201ctemperamentally fit\u201d to be president. “If you take the encouragement that Russians hack into email accounts, if you take his quite excessive praise for Putin, his absolute allegiance to a lot of Russian wish-list foreign policy issues,” she said, it suggests that “he is not temperamentally fit to be president and commander-in-chief.”<\/p>\n

Is that not rich? Hillary and Bill take massive bribes from Putin cronies to transfer ownership and control over the fuel for our nation\u2019s nuclear power plants (which provide one fifth of our national electrical energy) and our nuclear weapons to Putin & Company\u00a0\u2014 and then accuse her opponent of being in bed with Putin! Like the brazen thief who makes his getaway by pointing at a random passerby and yelling \u201cStop! Thief!,\u201d Hillary is hoping to distract the American electorate from her own corruption, criminality, and treason by accusing her opponent of the very thing of which she herself is most guilty. That is hardly surprising considering the crime wave that has followed Team Clinton all the way from the governor\u2019s mansion in Little Rock to the White House, to the Senate, to the Clinton Foundation, and on to Foggy Bottom\u00a0\u2014 and beyond. Remember the Clintons and Whitewatergate, Chinagate, Filegate, Fostergate, Travelgate, Troopergate, Lincoln Bedroomgate, Bimbogate, Pardongate, Wacogate, etc., etc., ad nauseum? The Clintons\u2019 penchant for criminality virtually saturated our political vocabulary with new \u201cgate\u201d-suffixed scandals.<\/p>\n

However, with the help of their \u201cmainstream media\u201d JournoLista friends, the Clintons have always managed to escape justice in this temporal sphere. For the past 15 months or so, these same media pals have shielded Hillary from having to face hard questions about her central role in the uranium-for-cash deal with Putin\u2019s minions. However, that could still be forced to the surface as a major stumbling block before the elections.<\/p>\n

But wait\u00a0\u2014 the Uranium One deal, as important and stunningly corrupt as it may be, is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. As we have been reporting here for years, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been one of Putin\u2019s biggest enablers, facilitating enormous transfers of advanced technology to the Russian regime she now sees as a threat. It was Secretary Clinton, please recall, who, in May 2009, presented Putin\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red \u201creset\u201d button<\/a>,\u00a0and then mugged with Lavrov in a giggly photo-fest celebrating the U.S.-Russian \u201cconvergence\u201d agenda. Clinton and Lavrov then served as joint coordinators of the U.S.-Russian Bilateral Presidential Commission established in July of that year by President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The annual reports<\/a> of the Bilateral Presidential Commission\u00a0are replete with chummy photos of Clinton-Lavrov, Obama-Medvedev, Biden-Putin, etc., as well as details of the many deals worked out to give technology, knowhow, capital, and other resources to Moscow.<\/p>\n

Among the many important projects of this type promoted by the Clinton-Lavrov team is the huge Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, which we warned about repeatedly in The New American<\/em> as far back as 2010 (see, for instance, “\u2019Breathing Pixie Dust\u2019 Investing in Russia,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0August 5, 2010). Putin\u2019s new Skolkovo research and innovation center on the outskirts of Moscow, heralded as \u201cRussia\u2019s Silicon Valley,\u201d is benefiting from billions of dollars of investment and prime technology from Cisco Systems, Boeing, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, General Electric, and other U.S. tech giants, thanks to support and promotion by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Then there is the case of billionaire Russian playboy Mikhail Prokhorov (see here<\/a>\u00a0and here<\/a>), who, during Clinton\u2019s reign at State, was allowed not only to buy up the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets) NBA franchise and the Barclays Center in New York City, but also to play a major role\u00a0 through his control of the Russian investment companies ONEXIM Group and Renaissance Capital, both of which played key roles in the Clintons\u2019 aforementioned Uranium One scandal.<\/p>\n

Yes, Mr. Trump has made statements that may give security-conscious Americans cause for concern, but deeds speak louder than words. And Hillary Clinton\u2019s deeds speak in 5,000 decibel thunderclaps, declaring to all (except her willfully deaf devotees) that she belongs not sitting behind the president\u2019s desk in the White House, but serving time behind bars in the Big House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
