OPINION: "The uranium and other minerals desired"

The discovery of 30 kilograms of uranium seems to be part of a plan to keep the spectre of "international terrorism" as a signature tune against the recognition of the political nature of the insurgency in Colombia, now through the myth of the potential indiscriminate use of Nuclear Weapons. But the indictment goes further: against Venezuela. But the indictment goes further: against Venezuela. In the end, the uranium found was a waste hospitable, with no war.

OPINION: "The uranium and other minerals desired by terrorists"

On Wednesday, March 26, the Ministry of Defense reported that their intelligence services had seized 30 kilograms of uranium in a rural area of Bogota.

This would be proof queen to validate the information allegedly found in one of the computers of the late international spokesman for the FARC, "Raul Reyes". According to the document, whose authenticity is uncertain, a man known by the alias "Belisario" gave the FARC 50 kilograms of uranium to negotiate with any government at the rate of $ 2.5 million per kilo.

However, in a statement called on Wednesday March 19, FARC rejected that are negotiating with uranium-said-because they do not have the technological means for processing. "Only developed countries, like the United States and others, have the conditions and the technology required for processing uranium, and not a guerrilla movement still fighting for the dignity of a people with guns and even with sticks," said the text of the rebels. "

Even several scientists quoted by the Washington Post expressed scepticism about the alleged operation of the FARC to sell uranium with which to manufacture a bomb.

Matthew Bunn, a specialist in nuclear affairs of the School of Government at Harvard University, told the newspaper that the e-mail in question contains "substantial evidence that this was some kind of fraud, because the quoted price of 2.5 million dollars per kilogram is about ten thousand times more than the value uranium in its natural state. "

Ivan Oelrich of the Federation of American Scientists, said it is unlikely that the rebels were talking about uranium to produce a nuclear bomb.

Uranium in its natural state is a heavy metal with very little radioactivity, but contain small traces of a rare isotope that contributes to the chain reaction in a nuclear bomb. According Oelrich, would require massive quantities, at least a hundred times more than those that allegedly sought to sell the FARC, to extract enough isotopes for one or two nuclear bombs, and this is a very technical process and industrial complex.

Also Steve Kidd, a scientist of the World Nuclear Association, based in London, stressed that this type of uranium "it would be futile for a radiological bomb."

Now, after the miraculous discovery, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear agency, "at the request of the Colombian authorities, will send a small team of technical experts to Colombia."

The "accidental" discovery of 30 kilograms of depleted uranium appears to be part of a plan to keep the spectre of "international terrorism" as a signature tune against the recognition of the political nature of the insurgency in Colombia, now through the myth of the potential indiscriminate use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations, terrorism which historically is known only one case: the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the army in 1945 gringo.

. But the indictment goes further: against Venezuela on charges of providing safe haven and financing international terrorism. To be part of the Axis of Evil and be entitled to any imperialist aggression future atomic only missing the argument, used with some success to disparage the court of public opinion on Iraq, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Iran as a threat to world peace because of the - never proven-development of atomic weapons.

However, the real nuclear threat comes from countries which, in addition to having a huge nuclear arsenal, are involved in wars of aggression: the United States, Britain, France, Israel. As for the depleted uranium, toxic waste from nuclear power, is used heavily by the gringo army and the British in Iraq, and it is presumed that another 15 countries use as a component of their ammunition. . Among them, the suppliers of arms to the Colombian army.

Other minerals, more dangerous than the uranium minerals

"The uranium was located today on the sidewalk Pasquila, 20 of the commune of Bogota, on the road leading to San Juan de Sumapaz," said the communiqué from the Ministry of Defence. "

. This information was contradicted by the mayor of Sumapaz. The Pasquilla sidewalk is not in their locality. The Pasquilla sidewalk is not in their locality. For part of Ciudad Bolivar, a town plagued by paramilitary groups, as reported years ago NGOs and government agencies who defend human rights, and recently reported the weekly El Espectador.

. The police authorities have been unable to detect the paramilitary rampant in the area.
