The Uranium One controversy involved the sale of a Canadian company, Uranium One, to a Russian state-owned corporation, Rosatom, in 2010. The controversy arose due to allegations that the Obama administration, particularly then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, approved the deal in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation. Opponents of the deal, mainly conservative politicians and media outlets, claimed that the sale compromised U.S. national security interests by giving Russia control over a significant portion of U.S. uranium production capacity. They also alleged that the Clinton Foundation received substantial donations from individuals connected to Uranium One, suggesting a quid pro quo arrangement. Investigations into the matter, including a 2015 review by the U.S. Department of Justice, found no evidence of wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton or the Obama administration. Despite this, the controversy persisted, with some critics continuing to use it as a political talking point against Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign. Note: While U.S. "officials" deny anything and everything: A Russian assassination unit linked has been Havana syndrome.

Think About It

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:00
This morning, I woke up at around three, four o'clock in the morning or closer to three. And I had something come across one of my feeds. And we talked about this morning, we were writing in 60 minutes had an episode about the Havana syndrome and really interesting.

Paul Truesdell, II 0:18
Yeah, I didn't see the whole interview. But I did end up seeing a few clips from some of the interviews in that that episode. And yeah, it kind of confirmed some of my suspicions and clarified. Yes, some of the things that have been floating around for a long time.

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:34
So today, we're going to talk a lot about Russia. Again, we're talking about China. Again, we're gonna talk a little bit about our members of Congress. Again, we're going to tie all this into economics, again, there's a lot of things are going on. And we're going to also tie this in to France. We do not rehearse these, do we? No, we do not. And we have no notes. And we're just going to spit ball up because this is a conversation that we have on a fairly regular basis. So do you want to give a little history of the Havana flu or Havana syndrome, whatever they want to call it? Which is a joke. Yeah. My

Paul Truesdell, II 1:09
My recollection of it is that sometime around 2000, I don't know what 1314 15. Somewhere in there, they started recognizing the certain people that worked for consulates in different places. I believe the investigation started in Cubot. Hence the name Havana. And these people had unknown brain anomalies, injuries, something that resembled a TBI. That made no sense because most of these people were working in the let's call them, like collar kind of administrative roles. Is that correct?

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:45
Yeah. And the consensus, kind of moving forward now to today is that almost all of them talk about hearing a horrendous high pitched whine. One guy said, Imagine you have a ear infection and you stick a Q tip in your ear. But instead of a Q tip, it's a needle. And imagine the pain of a sound of like a pin, piercing your eardrum. From there you have brain fog, and all sorts of items where they can't stand, they fall down. They can't concentrate. It is pretty, pretty hard.

Paul Truesdell, II 2:23
Yeah, that's really odd for somebody that is now usually a white collar worker, usually in an office building.

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 2:32
And there's one lady. She's had several surgeries spend time in the hospital. She has metal plates in her side of her head, whatever it did, I didn't. I was I was not in any kind of shape to go into the details. Because early in the morning, but I won't abstain up. Yeah, it's a big thing. So it started in Havana least that's where they say they found it. But one of the things, everybody who knows me knows how much I despise the word journalist out most of these journalists are nothing more than opinion. People spouting their views and not doing real investigative journalism. This was a real investigative journalistic piece.

Paul Truesdell, II 3:17
Yeah, yeah. I, from what I saw, they've been working on it for years. And he finally got enough sources and enough people to talk to come to some conclusions on not only what is it but who is doing it is

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 3:30
60 minutes collaborated with the intercept and other news organizations. A What a great length about a fella who is a expat Russian. And he was able to, he's able to read things, and he has sources. And they have they have what they think will be the smoking gun in this a email with that they talk about they talk about the guy down in the Keys, who was arrested by police on high speed chase. So we're just going to lay a few things out here. This is not unique to Cuba. This has been going on. And we've talked about for a long time. I think the most outrageous thing was in Vietnam. Did you see that section of it? No. So apparently in Vietnam, Vice President Camilla Harris was going for a state visit. And there's going to be a lot of trade talk and negotiations there. So

Paul Truesdell, II 4:27
So pause for right frame of reference. I think I know. So if it was a Biden administration, I know what happened on this visit. Yep. And it was extremely important. She was just there to show face. A lot of the negotiations that already been prepped ahead of time. Oh, sure. And the this is one of those really important visits, if I recall, correctly, that they it was kind of shocking in hindsight, the pull away from China, that the Vietnamese decided on a Um, and it kind of broke the ground for really consequential realignment in policy and in an ally, but a total realignment geopolitically? Because you know, less than, what, 50 years ago we're at war are there. So we're about about 50 years. So, to us, it's kind of you don't typically do that. No, it's very unusual in the grand scheme of things. And I believe they wanted to buy a bunch of our military equipment and stuff like that. So it was a huge sea change, let's call it, and I think a lot of it had to deal with just kind of how awesome their backyard is. And not so

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 5:41
according to CBS, and from what I heard, is that the Russians gave the covert operations, which, of course, Vietnam has that domestically, supposedly, under the auspices that this is a fantastic tool to listen in on conversations pointed at people, and you can hear what you want to hear the bionic ear. Yeah. Makes a lot of sense. No. Yeah, absolutely. Unfortunately, it fried the brains of a bunch of our advanced military people, soldiers, Special Forces, seals, and at least one very close person to the Vice President.

Paul Truesdell, II 6:26
Yeah, that's not good. It's interesting, because, you know, when you think about that area of the world, the motivations of the Vietnamese in their kind of sea change. The other thing to consider is a lot o...
