President Trump’s
visit to Asia is to ensure that the nuclear option is not used and
to prevent North Korea from advancing in its nuclear arms
capability. It is of paramount importance for every country,
especially CHINA, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, South Korea and those
other nations on the U.N. Security Council to look to curtail then
stop the aggressive behavior of North Korea’s move to create a
nuclear arsenal. How did North Korea come about developing nuclear
weapons capability? Previous U.S. administrations have failed as
did the U.N. Security Council in preventing North Korea in
developing nuclear arms.
Terrorism takes
on many facets. U.S. National Security is predicated on ensuring
Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) attacks are not
executed on the shores of the United States. We should be highly
concerned with Uranium. Uranium is used in nuclear/atomic
(radiological) weapons.
Uranium is a
heavy metal that has more neutrons than protons. Uranium 235 is what
constitutes the chain reaction – the U 235 atom splits geometrically
splitting other atoms given off heat and deadly gamma radiation.
What National
Security purpose is served by selling yellow cake (called urania
U3/O8 – concentrated uranium) to foreign countries, especially those
who can pose a clear and present danger to the United States or the
world-at-large. What is clear is that yellow cake is enriched for
use in nuclear reactors and weapons. Where has been the proper
oversight (2010 and thereafter) in the Executive Branch and Congress
in the sale and distribution of yellow cake?
Who were the
elected and appointed officials in office at this time in 2010
(06/08/10) when the Uranium National Security deep concerns come
into play with the deal of Uranium One to JRC Atomredmetzoloto [ARMZ],
a mining of arm of Resatom, the Russian Nuclear Energy Agency?

Schumer
sides with Romney:
Russia
'probably our most formidable enemy'
by Pete
Kasperowicz | Feb

Examiner
“Senate
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on
Monday called Russia a top "enemy" of the U.S., using language
similar to and even stronger than a description used by Mitt Romney
in 2012, which drew mockery from Democrats…. "I
ask my Republican colleagues to put country over party when it comes
to Russia," Schumer said on
the Senate floor Monday.

U.S. TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACT (TWEA) 1917
In 1917, under President Woodrow
Wilson, the U.S. Congress passed legislation titled Trading
With the Enemy Act.
The objective was to stop any American from trading with our enemies
and the allies of our enemies, during World War I.
On March
9, 1933, Roosevelt issued Proclamation 2040. It referred to the
national emergency and again asserted Sec. 5(b) as authority for
it. Roosevelt then proclaimed that the Proclamation of March 6,
1933, would remain in full force and effect until proclamation by
the president. It remains in force to this day.

RUSSIA –
IRAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DEAL (2010)
“AEOI says it will remain under
Russian guarantee for another two years from September 2013 “and a
number of Russian experts will remain in place to give advice and
technical assistance”.* The preliminary agreement states that the
first reactor of (Iran)
Bushehr nuclear power plant would
be operated by a 50-50 Russian-Iranian joint venture during the
one-year warranty period. In August
2010 it was agreed that this JV would operate the plant for up to
three years before
Atomstroyexport gradually withdrew. However, in September 2011 after
grid connection, Rosatom said: "According to the Iranian
legislation, only a national company can be an operator of the
nuclear power plant", hence Russian specialists would be invited to
work under a contract to be awarded by the Nuclear Power Production
and Development Company of Iran (NPPD), with their numbers gradually
reducing. In
May 2012 the first deputy director general of Rosenergoatom Vladimir
Asmolov said that all operations related to the reactor equipment
control and operation were being carried out by Russian
specialists. “There is not a single Iranian operator at Bushehr,”
he said. He explained that the Iranian party had signed an agreement
with a Rosatom affiliate, Atomtechexport (ATE), which operates the
reactor unit. However,
Iranian operators have been trained in Russia.”
