When « Israel » Seized 200 Tons of Uranium in the Middle of the Mediterranean

In 1968, « Israel » diverted a shipment of American uranium. The cargo ship Scheersberg A, crewed by Spaniards, departed from Antwerp carrying 200 tons of processed uranium disguised as lead. The raw material officially belonged to a German company linked to the United States.

A year earlier, after the Six-Day War, France had stopped supplying uranium to  » Israel » for the Dimona nuclear reactor, and the Mossad had to orchestrate the operation, known as “Plumbat.”

The ship disappeared in the middle of the Mediterranean and, a few days later, reappeared with an empty hold in a Turkish port under a different name. The Israelis had discreetly transferred the uranium to another vessel.

That truly was a “ghost fleet.” Everything was fake. An Italian company served as a front to conceal the real cargo and the true recipient. The International Atomic Energy Agency, responsible for nuclear inspections, shrugged its shoulders; Euratom did the same: it was not their responsibility because the cargo was officially listed not as uranium, but as lead.

The uranium ended up at the Dimona facility, fueling the Israeli nuclear program for years. In this way, Tel Aviv circumvented international embargoes and sanctions. There were no protests, not even reprisals. The United States and Europe turned a blind eye to the smuggling because they were accomplices.

Operation Plumbat was exposed by Paul Leventhal in 1977 at a non-proliferation conference held in Salzburg, Austria. Leventhal later founded the Nuclear Control Institute in 1981.

But in 1973, a significant incident occurred when Dan Ert, a Mossad agent, was arrested in Norway and accused of murdering a Moroccan waiter, Ahmed Bouchikhi, whom he had mistaken for one of the Palestinians involved in the 1972 Munich Olympic attack.

To convince the Norwegian police that he was not just an ordinary gunman but a Mossad operative, Ert told them the true story of Operation Plumbat.

Faced with disbelief, Ert also explained that he had been the president of the Liberian shipping company used to purchase the Scheersberg A.

The best way to obtain a license to operate with impunity is for the criminal to confess his membership in the Mossad.

The Uranium Came from the Congo

The uranium destined for « Israel » came from the Shinkolobwe mine in Katanga, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Belgian colonialists began extracting uranium from Shinkolobwe in 1921.

Congolese miners extracted the uranium by hand, exposing themselves to radiation sickness.

In 1939, Einstein, aware that a nuclear bomb could be built and that Nazi Germany might pursue such a goal, warned Roosevelt about the need to secure uranium supplies, which could be found in the Congo.

When Nazi Germany occupied Belgium in 1940, concern grew that the uranium stored at Shinkolobwe might fall into Hitler’s hands. A plan was devised to send 1,200 tons of uranium to the United States, where it ended up at the Manhattan Project’s nuclear weapons facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico (*).

Seventy percent of the uranium used in the Hiroshima atomic bomb came from the Shinkolobwe mine, and another ten percent was used in the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

When the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence in 1960 and Patrice Lumumba became the country’s first democratically elected prime minister, imperialist powers attempted to separate Katanga from the rest of the country. In an effort to suppress the rebellion, Lumumba appealed to the United Nations, which ignored him. He then turned to the Soviet Union for assistance, sealing his fate.

Uranium was also at the center of Katanga’s attempted secession and the assassination of Lumumba.

A Draft U.S.-Iran Plan Is Said to Be on the Table. Here’s What to Know.

#Uranium company’s finalized #NewMexico plan includes treating, dumping water into nearby river

#DinéActivist says #EnergyFuels doesn’t understand #MountTaylor’s sacredness

Thursday, May 28, 2026
By Patrick Lohmann,

"A #Colorado uranium company recently submitted a finalized operation plan to New Mexico officials, signaling that it — along with multiple other out-of-state companies — is increasingly serious about mining uranium in the state.

"Energy Fuels, Inc. submitted a 273-page operations and '#reclamation' plan earlier this month that details how it plans to extract uranium from more than 1,600 feet below the surface within the #CibolaNationalForest boundaries in McKinley County, then transport it to its mill in #BlandingUT.

"New Mexico Environmental Law Center Legal Director Eric Jantz told Source NM on Tuesday that the plan represents the company’s renewed intent to receive a permit following more than a decade on hiatus.

" 'We’re taking it seriously,' he said of the plan. 'And we’re going to be doing what we can to make sure that this #EnvironmentalReview is done properly, and that community interests are protected.'

"The company’s plan describes how it would pump #groundwater from the mineshaft to access the #UraniumOre, then treat the water and release it into the nearby #RioSanJose. Jantz told Source NM that the 'dewatering”'of the mine is an immense technical undertaking and one that threatens to deplete the #groundwater supply during a period of prolonged #drought.

" 'It’s gonna deplete the water table in a significant radius around the proposed mine, and that water table won’t recover for decades, if ever,' he said.

"Energy Fuels officials did not respond to Source NM’s emailed request for comment Tuesday.

"In addition to the 'dewatering,' the proposed mine site lies within the boundaries of the Mount Taylor Traditional Cultural Property. Mount Taylor is sacred to several #Indigenous tribes and pueblos in New Mexico, including the #Navajo and #Laguna peoples.

"Energy Fuels’ operations plan notes that if its permit is approved, the company will take steps to preserve the 'viewshed' of Mount Taylor in recognition of the #SacredMountain and will, to the extent possible, 'protect scenic values' at the site.

"After reading that section of the plan, Diné anti-nuclear advocate #LeonaMorgan told Source NM that Energy Fuels officials clearly do not understand the value of Mount Taylor to the Navajo people.

" 'It’s not just a visual aspect. It’s not just to look at the mountain. It’s for the integrity of the mountain itself,' she said. 'When we’re talking about #SacredPlaces and #MotherEarth, these are our relatives. That’s how we consider them. They themselves have rights and definitely should not be basically raped and pillaged, which is what mining is.' "

This article is about #Plutonium but I'm starting to wonder if grabbing #Uranium "dust" for US energy companies is a key reason Trump started warring with #Iran; and/or maybe force Iran to host data centers for his big-tech buddies. 🤔

I think we'll find out soon enough.

Comme le Suffren, le futur sous-marin nucléaire d’attaque sud-coréen utilisera de l’uranium faiblement enrichi

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.opex360.com/2026/05/26/comme-le-suffren-le-futur-sous-marin-nucleaire-dattaque-sud-coreen-utilisera-de-luranium-faiblement-enrichi/

Questions…So Many Questions…And Possible Answers

A: Because, although SHITHOLE SAYS he’s in great health, he clearly isn’t. Actually, it doesn’t take a doctor to realize this. Just look at and listen to the fucker for five seconds and even a visually and hearing-impaired person could tell SHITHOLE is a mere breath away from croaking. I like to say he’s dying from the inside out. Or maybe it’s from the outside in. But I think most of us know that people in GREAT or even GOOD health don’t have to attend “check-ups” as often as SHITHOLE does.

2. How is building a ballroom going to make SHITHOLE safer?

A: It isn’t. If building ballrooms made people safer, every school, church, synagogue, mosque, supermarket, movie theater, (name a place where people congregate and could be shot) in the nation would build one. SHITHOLE is just a SHITHOLE and keeps whining about needing his “ballroom” and whatever the fuck else because it’ll make him safer. Even if it became approved and it started being “built” tomorrow, SHITHOLE wouldn’t live to see it finalized or use it. Shit, maybe all Americans should get together and build a huge ballroom around the states to keep us safer from SHITHOLE and his “administration”. Since apparently that’s what ballrooms are meant to do.

3. How is painting the bottom of the reflecting pool blue going to prevent debris, algae, trash and leaks from happening?

A: It won’t. You can paint the bottom of the reflecting pool any color and you’re still going to have debris, algae, trash and eventually leaks. Because it’s filled with water. In fact, painting it blue is probably going to encourage people to try to swim in it, (especially dumb MAGA asses who visit Washington, DC), because painting it blue makes it look like a swimming pool, not a reflecting pool. So, on top of debris, etc., you’ll have disease. Also, when SHITHOLE and his idiot entourage recently drove on the surface, experts indicated that they more than likely damaged it. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if it leaked and flooded DC?

4. Why does SHITHOLE need an arch?

A: He doesn’t. He’s just narcissistic and a SHITHOLE. Like his ballroom, he doesn’t need it. The only arch SHITHOLE needs is at McDonald’s. To speed up the demise process. See question 1.

5. If Iran agreed to give SHITHOLE their uranium, how would SHITHOLE obtain it, where would SHITHOLE put it, what would SHITHOLE do with it and how would SHITHOLE prevent Iran from mining more uranium?

A: All great questions with no simple answers other than IRAN WOULD NEVER AGREE TO GIVE SHITHOLE THEIR URANIUM. But for shits and giggles, who knows how SHITHOLE would obtain it (not sure SHITHOLE or anyone knows exactly where it is, and I’m sure it’s in many places), where would SHITHOLE put it if he got his hands on it? Probably try to stuff it in his bathroom at Shit-A-Largo. What would SHITHOLE do with it? Probably try to sell it. To Russia. Who would in turn give it back to Iran. Or maybe his intention is to build a nuclear bomb. And the biggie: how would SHITHOLE prevent Iran from mining more uranium? He wouldn’t. Because he’s so fucking stupid that once he had the “uranium”, he’d probably think that’s all there is. I’m not even sure SHITHOLE knows what uranium looks like!
