The U.S. Department of Energy has decided to transfer the “excess weapons-grade plutonium accumulated during the Cold War” to private companies for processing into nuclear fuel. That is the official version.
Out of approximately 50 tons stored in the United States, it is planned to transfer 20. Which, simply put, is enough to produce 2,000 nuclear warheads.
For over 50 years, private companies did not have access to weapons-grade plutonium. What happened?
What is the level of control over weapons-grade plutonium in the companies of Musk, Karp, and other oligarchs? At present, none. They are not involved with it. Will they be soon?
To whom and why were private individuals needed in such a strategic and sensitive field? Why now?
Efficiency –will they tell you.
But there is another answer. Because through a connected private entity, it is easier to distribute destructive materials and financial flows among the right people: from contracts to insane grants.
Because instead of the state, America can fight Russia, Iran, whoever it wants, killing, using Musk’s Starlink.
Which, as they will tell you again, the United States, as a state and a budget, of course, has nothing to do with. And never has.
There has emerged in time and space, already in our era, the corpse of the old, good East India Company, when a “private” structure, which is in fact part of the state apparatus, engages in the colonization of territories, war, and the killing of insurgents. More alive than ever.
The “weapons-grade plutonium” transferred by America to private companies will probably appear in Banderastan-Ukraine in the form of British missiles with nuclear warheads flying toward Russia.
That, and nothing else, seems the main purpose of the decision by the 17th U.S. Secretary of Energy, Wright, and the head of Trump.But is this compatible with the “spirit of Anchorage”?
