60 Minutes: Thank You Again for a “Makes No Sense”! …
The splash page above is a replacement for a “StrageticMetals.net” web crawler hack that started several years ago with thousands of unwanted denial of service bot bugs phishing and spoofing ... from Russia, China, and the Ukraine?
How they eventually accomplished a complete crash of a full-rack protected dedicated small business server really should be priority number one for the FCC. And, as following the winners of this money war, as best possible by ping and pong, to ‘tell’ addresses of today’s spam and robocall madness, it appears that the FTC also needs to take a deep look into the one-sided power of mega private company cartels.
Our small business supply side MiningMagazines.com has been working with Rare Earth's stories for some time. Our last post on the URL StrageticMetals.net had been a comment supporting a Leslie Stahl story, stating that the bankruptcy of America's principal supply of Rare Earths, from Union Carbide’s Mountain Pass, California, “made no sense”. And the URL ownership just went “Poof” for an individual prospector knowing too much?
Through my personal experience of prospecting for REEs, Titanium, and gold in the in alluvium placers of the Wilderness Primitive Areas of Middle Idaho, as evaluated for mineral potential in the Geological Survey Bulletin 1304. There was a 20-year window before the River of No Return roadless area was designated the Senator Frank Church Wilderness which would have outlawed any combustion engine assisted placer mining.
The fun part of the very through study was that sample data listed gold values content used to patent (when it was still possible) fly-in fishing and hunting camps, was evaluated at the official $35 per ounce at the time of publication; which had reached $200 per ounce after Nixon stupidly took us off the gold and silver standard. I was able to stake as a Mining Law of 1872 Prudent Man a Big Creek small particles of Gold claim that would have paid wages mining by hand, and an adjoining hillside fan with Ilmenite black sands that ran 7-9 pounds of Titanium per cubic yard.
Which ment it would have been economically feasible to use summertime horse pack strings to reach FWD pickup trucks at the trailhead. A plan of action never tested real-time as just before the deadline, the USFS withdrew my surface rights on account of that was exactly where the government planned to build a vital hydroelectric dam. Having been on the sidelines of an actual confiscation of gold claims out of Weaverville, California that cost 20-years in legal fees before the principles gave-up by dying, I just shut up and moved on. I haven't wanted to annoy the US Forest Service until a Sonny Perdue of the USDA/USFS forest ranger started supporting a Koch Brother's Georgia Pacific/Weyerhauser minerals rights despute by suggesting the claims should be put up for lease.
But, what was also left behind, according to the hard to download Bulletin (https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1304/report.pdf) “the potential resource of 95,000 tons containing 7.2 pounds rare-earth metals per ton.” So, put that deposit up for lease.
My second, and longer, experience with Rare Earths came about by contracting to properly stake a group of claims by establishing a valid discovery of mountaintop residual gold samples, verified by atomic absorption spectrometer, pan amalgamation, field colorimetrics, etc. from a decomposed granodiorite plutonic igneous rock. Which surprise, also had a “Pegmatite” dike kicking Rare Earths “black nuggets”.
This is how it happened as a non-brokered service I took samples direct to the US Bureau of Mines research facility in Albany, Oregon, an expert facility in defining exotic minerals. Which just happened to be next door to Teledyne Wah Chang that was known for developing Titanium.
I had dealt with a researcher in the Albany business park before. He was nicknamed “Smoky” for having had too many experiments explode on him. Through him, I tried to help my Mining Law of 1872 claim staking client, by actually being a go-between, with no finder-fee agreement, to passing along what I thought was a reasonable offer for a group of small corporations.
It was turned down, cold, as all the investors wanted $2 million each as a ‘promised’ ROI for their $2,000 gamble. This attitude eventually led to my being called as a witness to a Grand Jury investigation of Miller Mountain project, part of the Bear Valley Uranium complex, a future superfund site (supposedly a small business set aside, gold and all, that went to a major contractor), as a fraud?
More on this attached on the new www.StrategicAndCriticalMinerals.com website coming online shortly to complain about my www.IndustrialMinerals.org explanation on my unique USA Nepheline Syenite Rare Rock deposit, that also has REE traces, that is being ignored by “industry experts” for being too new of a nanotech breakthrough, or Competing with a multinational cartel that wants to exploit their own deposits of Peralkaline Nepheline Syenite for AAC expandable steam cured slabs, or CLC Roman-style GeoPolymer Concrete that can be pumped into tilt-up forms, or 3D printed.
The latest ECO trend has been doing away with Portland Cement, as the manufacturing results in Greenhouse gas pollution equal to the manufacturing of steel. The latest development has been Calcium Aluminate Compounds that withstand water so well they have become a new standard for concrete pipes for sewage systems.
New university level papers are coming out all the time concerning the unexpected magic of uniform nano-sized Nepheline Syenite (Al203 & Si02), and natural bundle of Rare earth minerals, as Limealumina. Lanthanum, Cerium Niobium Zircon, and Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles (TiO2) offering a conservative 200% strength increase over that of a more expensive “stick-built” affordable home through the modern use of a Roman-style, Geopolymer Cement.
See https://eco-foam-krete.com to five different casino capitalism ways to buy-in to an insider's position opportunity when your financial advisor most likely hasn’t a clue about the legality of selling a ton of documented in-place ore.
I stole that “casino capitalism” phrase from Sixty Minutes where Steve Kroft in his The Bet That Blew Up Wall Street piece On Credit Default Swaps And Their Central Role In The Unfolding Economic Crisis, exploited by John Paulson, who learned how it was done working for Bear Sterns, personally pocketing in one year a reported $3.7 billion, and Bill Ackman, of yet another “Capital Management” corporation (of a bank that will need yet another bail-out for only making hundreds of millions?)” all for betting that ordinary families would be put out on the street through the nightmare of loosing their American dream through home foreclosure.
As FoamKrete? is both a Climate Change answer, and a way to escape from bully financial cartels controlling designated Strategic and Critical Minerals. As in HR 761 in 2013, and the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act HR 520 of April 2018, which added Rare Earths (along with my Alumina) to the critical list.
Apparently, not in time to prevent this breaking 60 Minutes bombshell: Nov 17, 2019; by CORRESPONDENT Bill Whitaker.
“ Why the U.S. is missing out on the race to mine trillions of dollars worth of metals from the ocean floor Rare earth elements and metals used in cell phones, supercomputers and more are sitting on the ocean floor, ready to be mined by multiple countries. So why is the U.S. on the sidelines?
So we called the 22 senators opposed to the treaty, all Republicans, to ask why.
None would appear on camera. Those who wrote us said that ceding any control to the United Nations was a deal-breaker. But Rear Admiral white worries if the U.S. doesn't ratify the Law of the Sea, it will soon be too late.
Bill Whitaker: And if we don't? What does that mean for us?
Jonathan White: I think it means that, again, we become more isolated, especially in terms of a growing global economy.
Bill Whitaker: And we're dependent on China?
Jonathan White: And absolutely more dependent on China.
Bill Whitaker: So what sense does that make?
Jonathan White: It makes no sense.
The country that made it to the moon first may now miss the race to this new frontier – and the untold riches of the deep.”
All of this leads me to ask, “what is really going on behind the locked conference room doors when it comes to corporate/deep state free trading away of what is left of the U.S. Mining Industry? Would love to hear comments that I may also post on the new website.
