Connections: Uranium One

The State Department, Department of Energy and FBI allowed the sale of 20% of U.S. uranium production and the uranium production in Kazakhstan to Russia through a tangled web. The connections are difficult to follow, as they often are in deep-state bad actions, so CDN created the Connections: Uranium One page and will update it as more information is discovered. The editorial staff would like to applaud the work of award-winning journalist Sara Carter for her dogged work that publicized the information needed to bring this travesty to the light of day.

Connections: Uranium One and Russia

Uranium One Connections - 3

Rosatom’s Purchase of Uranium One

Rosatom (Russia) and its subsidiaries did not possess an export license for newly-mined uranium into the United States. A series of three transactions pulled Kazahkstan’s uranium resources into Uranium One who did possess the rights to import and sell uranium into the United States. The value of Uranium One’s uranium assets in the United States are questionable, but the ability to sell into the U.S. market increased Rosatom’s hold on the international uranium trade.

2005: Money from Uranium One investors began flowing into the Clinton Foundation and continued until at least 2011. Bill Clinton flies to Kazakhstan with Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining financier, aboard his private jet. Within days of their visit, Mr. Guistra’s company, UrAsia Energy Ltd., signed a deal giving it stakes in three state-run uranium mines in Kazakhstan.

2007: UrAsia Energy Ltd. merges with then-South African mining company Uranium One at which time Giustra sold his stake in the company. Uranium One immediately begins buying up U.S. uranium assets.

2009: Rosatom bought a 17% stake in Uranium One.

2010: Rosatom sought to buy a majority stake in Uranium One triggering oversight by CFIUS

2013: Rosatom bought 100% of Uranium One and delisted it from the Toronto Stock Exchange turning it into a private company.

  1. Hillary is guilty as sin of treason. She should do hard time in prison, but with the entire Democratic Party and press behind her, she will probably continue to skate, as always.
    What a vile, greedy, malicious person. I thank God every day that she lost the election, sparing America untold more grief, after all we suffered through the last 8 years under Obama.

    1. AMEN, John !!! Her’s & Bill’s basket of ‘deplorable’ acts runneth over….I have to wonder if the wide ‘acceptance and lack of punishment for them be enough to motivate a change to future reactions from ‘we the people’? Is there the will to stand and say “Enough is enough” ?
