Als mögliche Kunden führt Urenco „fortgeschrittene Reaktortypen“ sowie Forschungsreaktoren an, aber auch die von Urenco geplanten eigenen U-Batterie-Atomreaktoren. Konkretes Interesse an dem deutlich höher angereicherten Uran hat in den USA vor wenigen Wochen ausgerechnet das US-Verteidigungsministerium geäußert, das kleine mobile Reaktoren für „rapid response scenarios“ bauen möchte.

Brexit news latest: Theresa May says EU withdrawal could be cancelled, in desperate plea to MPs days before critical vote
Theresa May has pleaded with her EU counterparts to give ground in a key speech just days before MPs vote on her Brexit deal.
Speaking in Grimsby, the prime minister said „no one knows“ what will happen if her plan is rejected, warning Brexiteers: „We may never leave at all“.
ARE EU JOKING? EU make insulting Brexit offer that could break up the United Kingdom
Eurocrat Michel Barnier tabled an offer that would allow Britain to quit the customs union rather than being trapped in the backstop.
But the plan would see Northern Ireland staying tied to the EU – effectively creating a border inside the United Kingdom.
The offer is almost identical to a proposal which was rejected by Theresa May months ago.
Congresswoman Barbara Lee Introduces AUMF Repeal Legislation
Congresswoman Lee was the only member of Congress to oppose the 2001 AUMF. At the time, Congresswoman Lee wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that the authorization “was a blank check to the president.”
According to the Congressional Research Service, the 2001 AUMF has been used to justify US military action at least 41 times in 19 countries.
The full text of the legislation is available here. The bill has 46 original cosponsors.
New legislation could effectively end war in Afghanistan
(5.3.2019) Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) discuss new legislation they introduced that would effectively end the US war in Afghanistan. #CNN #News
This week, I am introducing legislation to end a war that should have ended long ago, the war in Afghanistan. The United States has been fighting the War on Terror since October of 2001 and it has cost 6 trillion dollars.
Lawmakers: End Afghanistan War, Give Every GWOT Vet a $2,500 Bonus
If passed, the AFGHAN Service Act would also permanently end America‘s involvement in Afghanistan and overturn the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, said the lawmakers, who serve on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
„It is time to declare the victory we achieved long ago, bring them home, and put America‘s needs first,“ Paul said.
Senator @RandPaul (R-KY) has introduced a new bill calling on US #Congress to repeal the 2001 #AUMF and finally cast a vote to officially end the #WarInAfghanistan and bring all of our troops home. #Afghanistan #DoD #EndlessWar

Tim Kaine and the war on zombie wars
On Wednesday, Kaine was the lead Democrat on a new bill that would repeal the authorizations for the 1991 Gulf War and the 2002 war against Iraq.
“It just creates a challenge, and for a president to think, ‘Hmm, if I want to bypass Congress, how can I do it?’” Kaine said of antiquated military authorizations that technically remain law.

‚The electric war‘: Major power failure in Venezuela leaves much of the country in the dark
A vast power failure plunged the capital city of Caracas into almost complete darkness during rush hour on Thursday, before extending to other areas.
At least 18 of the country‘s 23 states had been affected by the outage, according to local media.
„No food. No medicine. Now, no power. Next, no Maduro,“ U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said via Twitter on Friday.
Deutscher Botschafter in Venezuela unerwünscht, Maas beordert Diplomaten zurück
In dem Kommuniqué des venezolanischen Außenministeriums heißt es, Kriener werde „aufgrund seiner wiederholten Einmischungen in die inneren Angelegenheiten des Landes unter eindeutiger Verletzung der Normen der diplomatischen Beziehungen“ ausgewiesen. Für Venezuela sei nicht hinnehmbar, dass auf seinem Territorium ein ausländischer Vertreter öffentlich eine Rolle einnehme, „die mehr einem politischen Führer in klarer Übereinstimmung mit der Verschwörungsagenda extremistischer Sektoren der venezolanischen Opposition entspricht“.
Manafort-Prozess in den USA: Weit unter der Höchststrafe
Manafort verdiente ein Millionenvermögen durch Berater- und Lobbytätigkeiten unter anderem für den früheren Russland-treuen Präsidenten der Ukraine, Viktor Janukowitsch. Einkünfte in Höhe von 16 Millionen Dollar versteuerte Manafort nicht. Rund 55 Millionen Dollar versuchte er, auf ausländischen Konten zu verstecken.
Paul Manafort gets 47 months. Legal experts share examples of people who got more time for less
He‘ll receive another sentence from a different federal judge next week for the two crimes he pleaded guilty to last year — witness tampering and conspiracy related to years of illegal Ukrainian lobbying and money laundering. That sentencing could stack on top of the time he received Thursday.
Three-quarters of Americans agree that people like them have too little influence in Washington, while lobbyists, big business & wealthy have too much. Corrupt pay-to-play politics in Washington must end.
AP-NORC Poll: Three-quarters in US say they lack influence
Three-quarters of Americans agree that people like themselves have too little influence in Washington, rare unanimity across political, economic, racial and geographical lines and including both those who approve and disapprove of President Donald Trump, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Majorities also don’t have a great deal of confidence in most of the nation’s institutions. That’s especially true of Congress, which takes the biggest hit, and the presidency.

New Pre-Election Poll Suggests Bernie Sanders Could Have Trounced Donald Trump
(11.11.2016)
Crucially, independent voters, who made up nearly one-third of the general election voters this year, favored Sanders over Trump, 55 percent to 45 percent, the poll found. Hillary Clinton, by contrast, lost independents 48 percent to 42 percent, according to exit polls.
Although the Gravis poll did not show state-level results, it is safe to assume that any candidate with that type of lead in the popular vote, if the poll is accurate, would win the electoral college handily.
I did not come from a family of privilege like Trump did that prepared me to entertain people on television by telling workers: “You’re fired.” I came from a family who knew all too well the frightening power employers can have over everyday workers.
I‘m on the Radical Left of the #Labour Party. I‘m also sympathetic to #anticapitalism. I‘m also an #atheist. Apparently this means I‘m ‚probably antisemitic‘. So explain THIS – I really, REALLY want Bernie Sanders to be the first JEWISH President of the United States of America
Transcript: JFK‘s Speech on His Religion
(Sept. 12, 1960) For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew– or a Quaker or a Unitarian or a Baptist. It was Virginia‘s harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson‘s statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim, but tomorrow it may be you — until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.
Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end; where all men and all churches are treated as equal; where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice; where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind; and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.
Why was it a big deal that JFK was a Catholic when he was elected US President?
In the 19th century, anti-Catholicism became tied to anti-immigration sentiments among both the American elite and American lower classes. Catholicism became tied to European immigrants (Irish and then Italian) who competed with „native“ Americans––a term they ironically used to describe themselves––for jobs. These Catholic immigrants had different customs than their Protestant „native“ neighbors, customs that the Protestant disapproved of; among these, drinking was worst. There was also a persistent and palpable fear that Catholics couldn‘t be trusted because of their allegiance to Rome. These fears carried on in America through the 1950s.
During the Cold War period, when Kennedy ran, there was still fear that, when push came to shove, Kennedy would defer to the Pope and not the Constitution or American people. He actually had to come out and say that he had his own mind, and was not at the mercy of the Pope. I couldn‘t find the stand-alone video of him saying this, but it‘s used in this short video:
Two Dozen House Republicans Oppose Anti-Hate Resolution for Some Reason
The resolution declared Nazis are bad, Martin Luther King Jr. was good, and — the real heart of the matter — rejected “the pernicious myth of dual loyalty and foreign allegiance, especially in the context of support for the United States-Israel alliance.”
It was a very Democratic-party solution. Adding to the comedy, 23 House Republicans voted no on the resolution,
