I know, one of these days the ‘tree’ clue is going to be Gitmo I hope.
I wouldn't do that. All is lost if one abandons hope.
As I understand it, Russians bought the company (Canadian based) that holds claims or property title to land representing ~20% of proven reserves.
I’d bet the real quid-pro-quo in this lies in what was involved in tying up a large chunk of other potential reserves in the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase wilderness deals.
Frequently the expansion of wilderness areas has the side effect of massively enriching some connected company or politician. It was as such in the expansion of the Utah wilderness that took US anthracite deposits out of competition with Indonesian ones and it happened when Feinstein’s husband got a huge mineral resource in the deal that removed a significant hunk of CA desert lands from productive use in the desert wilderness protection act.
The U.S. didn’t sell, it was a private transaction. It appears approval for the sale had to come from the feds.
Here’s an interesting take, which Lenzner tries to exonerate Clinton but it looks like he actually connects some dots.
The probability of that succeeding is very poor in favor of the assasin unless the primary intent is to eliminate the target regardless of collateral damage.
Side note, I think you can conceivably induce a structural flaw in a turbine blade via nuclear displacement fostered by by aiming a particle beam at it for X amount of time. Haven’t yet noodled out the feasibility with respect to source, type, duration etc... (I.e. could you just smear a speck of an emitter on it or would you need something car sized which would fry you while you were parked aiming it).
Also, aircraft technical areas and airports probably have detection equip that might pick it up...
Just thinking on the keyboard...
Got a link.
We should start a new thread each day - 2500 posts is WAY too much to weed through!
In order to kill that specific person, they didn't need the engine to fail and magically knock the window out....they just needed to pop that window out. The engine blow could just have been a ruse.
Was there any apparent motive to kill that particular woman?
Some radical pervert...now she's one. That's how it works.
Ok thanks. Fake then. Was not the baby on the floor post. I read that one to.
OBama document dump
Need a thread of its own. Pronto.
