It’s funny that you can watch an entire episode of reality TV, known as National Mainstream Media News, without seeing any stories about the Palestinian civilians being murdered by Israeli missiles. I wonder if it has anything to do with Jews controlling virtually all of American media.
The weapons of mass destruction storyline is again being rolled out as the reason why the U.S. will have to save the world by going back into Iraq. The sheeple will dutifully believe anything they are told by their keepers. That story never grows old.

This mess can be laid directly at the feet of Obama, Kerry, and Hillary. First in Egypt, then Libya, then Syria, supplying arms, cash, training, which served to revitalize Al Qaeda and now ISIS. Despite the facts, Obama isn’t being tried for treason, even though he’s supporting our sworn enemy, and letting Taliban leaders go free in exchange for traitors.
Meanwhile, ISIS just got their hands on 88 pounds of uranium in Iraq
ISIS Has Seized 88 Pounds Of Uranium In Northern Iraq

I wonder how many nuclear bombs made from this uranium are going to find their way to our country? Will Obama still be in office supporting Al Qaeda and ISIS when these nukes blow?

Good thing we’ve got that crisis brewing at the southern border to keep our minds off something like terrorists with stolen uranium.
Japan bombs Pearl Harbor!!!
Jeez, the Middle East is ALWAYS a tinderbox.
And those who believe 88 pounds (such a nice easy number to remember) were actually stolen (assuming Iraq even had it … how was that even possible!!! … and how in the fuck do you not protect it with iron-clad security) …. well, those people will believe anything.
Shoot, I wonder how much they’ve gotten from hospitals? Gotta be enough isotopes to make a few dirty bombs. I don’t know why we aren’t just droning every pickup truck and armored vehicle in the country. You can’t go wrong at this point. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
Saddam’s Uranium: The Sequel
The latest escalation of the propaganda war against people desiring a return to some semblance of normalcy as existed prior to September 11, 2001 – the day when everything changed – is the claim that the bad-ass Islamic bogeymen ISIS has taken control of 88 pounds of Uranium in Iraq.
The dirty bomb card has now been dealt and will be hyped by the corrupt state-corporate media as one more reason to ratchet down civil liberties, subject citizens to more invasive search and confiscate tactics in airports and most of all serve as a cudgel during the coming election cycle.
The tale of the Iraqi Uranium redux and the weapons of mass destruction threat – remember, we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud – first surfaced back in June with the story that ISIS had taken control of one of Saddam’s old chemical weapons plants at Muthanna. That one didn’t get much traction other than on selected right-wing echo chamber blogs and bottom-feeder websites because it was hasty and sloppy. The 88 pounds (nice round and memorable number isn’t it?) that are now claimed to have been seized from Mosul University has the official backing of the government of Iraq, the UN Ambassador who per a Reuters story told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a recent letter.
The Reuters story, “Exclusive: Iraq tells U.N. that ‘terrorist groups’ seized nuclear weapons” states:
———————————
“Insurgents in Iraq have seized nuclear materials used for scientific research at a university in the country’s north, Iraq told the United Nations in a letter appealing for help to “stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad.”
Nearly 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of uranium compounds were kept at Mosul University, Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhakim told U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the July 8 letter obtained by Reuters on Wednesday.
“Terrorist groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of the control of the state,” Alhakim wrote, adding that such materials “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.”
“These nuclear materials, despite the limited amounts mentioned, can enable terrorist groups, with the availability of the required expertise, to use it separate or in combination with other materials in its terrorist acts,” said Alhakim.
He warned that they could also be smuggled out of Iraq.
———————————
Libertarian financial blog Zero Hedge also cites the story of the 88 pounds of uranium in a posting entitled “ISIS Has Seized 88 Pounds Of Uranium In Northern Iraq” from which I excerpt:
“With the mainstream media having moved on in the news cycle to Dow ‘almost’ 17,000 and the ‘Border Crisis’ Scandal, it seems The Islamic State (the terrorists formerly known as ISIS) have stepped up their game and come out swinging… by seizing 88 pounds of nuclear material (uranium compounds) from Mosul University. As Iraq’s UN Ambassador warned, “these nuclear materials, despite the limited amounts mentioned, “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction… or in combination with other materials in its terrorist acts.”
.
First, the sitting government of Iraq as besieged as it currently is has a huge interest in putting down the mysterious ISIS eruption so anything that comes out of it, such as claims made by the Iraqi UN Ambassador about 88 pounds of uranium needs to be taken with extreme skepticism.
The timing also serves western regimes in Washington and London who are continually confronted with their rogue behavior, specifically NSA/FBI/CIA unconstitutional and unjustifiable surveillance – as in prominent American-Muslim leaders being subjected to targeting because they are Muslims and two US spies turning up within the German government. The renewed threat of that “smoking gun as a mushroom cloud” gives the ruling regimes of both nations an excuse to rebut critics and launch a crackdown in the always invoked interests of “national security”.
This is already happening in the UK where Prime Minister David Cameron has called for an emergency law to circumvent the process in order to lock their surveillance systems into place as a matter of protecting the populace from “terrorists” (never mind that the real terrorists are embedded in the increasingly Norsefire leaning government) and using ISIS as the excuse.
The Obama administration hasn’t gone that route yet but it’s coming and if it isn’t Obama then it will be Republicans in Congress after they retake the Senate in November and begin the impeachment proceedings. Having a dirty bomb go off – or better yet, an alleged plot being foiled -would be an enormous boon to the security state apparatus and will provide Republicans with the added charge that Obama “did not keep America safe from the terrorists”.
The chatter from those seemingly in the know, for example Dick Cheney with his promise of a new 9/11 and Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham is extremely suspicious and grows louder with each subsequent Sunday morning bloviation circuit cycle.
The story of the 88 pounds of death and destruction though, at least of this morning is primarily being promulgated once again on right-wing blogs and websites such as The Gateway Pundit with “Caliphate Goes Nuclear”, Free Republic with “ISIS has seized 88 pounds of Uranium in Northern Iraq” (taken from Zero Hedge) and trashy site BuzzFeed with “ISIS Militants Seize Nuclear Materials in Iraq that Could Be Used for WMD’s”.
It has all of the hallmarks of one of those propaganda dispersals that were commonplace during the Bushreich and nothing could be better for the future prospects of Republicans than to resuscitate that monster again. Not that the Democrats don’t deserve to be nailed to the wall on their abysmal record on “terrorism” – Obama has vastly expanded the surveillance state, formally put into law the right of the president to have American citizens extra-judicially killed and continued the meddling in the Middle East that does the exact opposite of win hearts and minds. –
The administration is also standing by while Israeli extremist nutjob Bibi Netanyahu is engaging in another bloody attack on Gaza after his demagoguery over the tragic abduction and murder of three young Jews that created a climate of racism and lust for blood vengeance much like the one that gripped the USA! USA! USA! after 9/11. While the nature of ISIS itself is still unknown as to the origin, funding and state backing behind it the region continues on a slow rolling boil.
Onward goes this sweltering summer of fear…

Stucky, this probably is a lot of alarmist nonsense over less than weapons grade nuclear material, but I have to disagree with you.
There were WMDs in Iraq, no matter what anyone says. Maybe not what we were told, and maybe not in ice cream trucks and hidden in mobile labs, but they were there. I remember in the trainup for deployment doing research on the subject and finding out Saddam had cut a deal with Sudan to set up his NBC research there. In fact, prior to our invasion, I read, he had set up some of his NBC labs and some of his air force in Sudan. I always wondered what happened to them after 2003.
I also read several times in the years since 2003 the Russians convoyed the contents of Saddam’s NBC facilities out of Iraq to Syria in 2003. The Iraqis looted the facilities after the Russians left, finding only crap. Remember the stories of the humanitarian disaster with Iraqis messing around with radioactive materials and not knowing it? For instance, a researcher found a little girl wearing yellow cake uranium as jewelry and farmers storing milk or water in hot 55 gal drums from nuke labs.
I once worked with a guy who was in intel in Saudi prior to 2003. He couldn’t and wouldn’t go into details, but he assured me he knew they had the stuff. Hearsy, but it was a fascinating conversation, nonetheless.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1926630/posts
“The gist of the new evidence is this: roughly one quarter of Saddam’s WMD was destroyed under UN pressure during the early to mid 1990’s. Saddam sold approximately another quarter of his weapons stockpile to his Arab neighbors during the mid to late 1990’s. The Russians insisted on removing another quarter in the last few months before the war. The last remaining WMD, the contents of Saddam’s nuclear weapons labs, were still inside Iraq on the day when the coalition forces arrived in 2003, but were stolen from under the Americans’ noses and sent to Syria. Syria is one of eight countries in the world that never signed a treaty banning WMD, and now is the storehouse for much of what remains of Saddam’s WMD Empire. This was the target of the recent Israeli air strike.”

“Haaretz notes that in 1998, Human Rights Watch published a report based on information from Sudanese opposition organizations which said that the Yarmouk plant was used to store chemical weapons for Iraq – weapons Saddam Hussein wanted to hide from the Un inspectors . Sudan denied the allegations at the time.” (Closest I could get in a brief search.)
Well things are starting to turn at home, BLS is having a hard time making the public believe their suffering is “recovery,” Ob ama is running around ignoring fires as long as he can, corporate profits, and sales, are shrinking.
So, obviously, the answer is a heady little war to get our minds off how bad we are being used and screwed by our own gubment.
Really AWD, it is those people’s fault? NOT the people that invaded, stripped it of assets and murdered thousands?
THIS IS WHY THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO CRASH AND BURN. We sooooooooooooooooooooo love our designated “bad guys” and placing blame.
*boom*
“Stucky ….. I have to disagree with you … There were WMDs in Iraq, no matter what anyone says.”

Well, then it’s a damn good thing we bombed those fuckers!!
I’ll try to be better informed. I’ll start by reading that link you provided — Homeland Security News Wire — on a daily basis.
Thanks for the update.
Heyyy, don’t be like that. It’s clear Bush was full of shit and intel analysts at the time reported they were leaned on to provide evidence at any cost, even if it was total fiction. According to one or two articles I read after the fact, he was planning an invasion from inauguration, long before 911.
But Saddam DID have WMDs and a secret program to build them.
That don’t mean it was a just war-we had no business there and I wish Saddam was still in power-Iraq would be better off.
This is the kind of reporting you get when Jews control the media:
http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/rania-khalek/abc-news-tells-viewers-scenes-destruction-gaza-are-israel
I’ve always found it funny how there’s always talk about how “threatened” Israel is but somehow their territory has expanded from what it was decades ago and I believe it still is through slow occupation. As far as I know illegally, but it may just be one of those inexplicable things in life…
If we’ve been occupying the country for how many years, how it is possible the Pentagon would allow nuclear fuel at a research university?
