IRAN DOUBLES ENRICHED URANIUM STOCKPILE

Iran almost doubled its stockpile of 20 percent medium- enriched uranium, to 145 kilograms (320 pounds), from 73.7 kilograms in February, the IAEA reported Thursday.  Iran has tripled its production of the material in the three months ending Feb. 24.  Inspectors also discovered evidence that 27 percent uranium had been in the facility they inspected.  While they could not verify weapons-grade uranium during the inspection, they emphasized that they simply do not have access to all of Iran’s facilities and there is suspicion that higher-grade uranium exists. 

COMMENTS:

We’ve been looking at this problem since the Bush years, but George and our troops were tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan and the issue was not as imminent.  Obama certainly could and should have put his foot down at least two years ago and we would not be facing this dilemma now.  It’s a sad commentary to suggest that he will act before the elections, but only to ensure his second term.  It seems that every day is bringing more serious bad news about Iran; I wonder how bad it really is. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I hear there is a new book out about Obama that has him raving mad?  (Gayle ~ Burns, OR)

A. It’s called “Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House” by Edmond Klein.  It documents corruption in the White House and gives reasons why Obama was not, and still is not, ready to run the country.  It’s number one on the New York Times best seller list, and is causing quite a stir in the White House.   

Q. There are a lot of birds being killed by windmills, but you don’t hear anything about it.  Why not?  (Phyllis ~ Garden Grove, CA)

A. The federal government last August imposed hefty fines on seven petroleum companies in North Dakota over the death of 28 birds near their open waste pits. Wind farms, on the other hand, kill more than 400,000 birds a year, including dozens of eagles, and they pay not a penny in fines.  These disparities, and the fact that wind farms have historically given hefty contributions to Obama, tell the whole story. 

Q. We used to hear horror stories about how the elitists and the power mongers were going to take over all nations and make one global government.  What happened to that?  (Carlisle ~ Denver, CO)

A. The BOSTON TIMES just reported that “Global governance, the next new thing in trendy international thought, has been typically portrayed as the nearly inevitable evolution upward from the primitive nation-state and its antiquated notions of constitutionalism and popular sovereignty.” Read more: http://times247.com/articles/the-case-against-global-governance#ixzz1wEdlAVTe  This would not be one wholesale conversion to World Government, but would initially creep along in that direction.  Hence, I suppose, the possibility that a treaty could be enacted to outlaw guns in all countries, including the United States.
