BLM Director Bob Abbey & making exposure to radioactive uranium contamination sound “friendly”

“Bob Abbey, for his efforts, was promoted in 2009 and became the national Director of the BLM.  The issue regarding Abbey firing a whistleblower was not raised during his confirmation hearing.  Then, Secretary Ken Salazar also named Abbey interim Director of the Minerals Management Service, “the scandal-ridden agency responsible for the oversight of offshore drilling,” to oversee the cleanup of BP’s Gulf oil spill. ”___________________________________

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who has been called “the godfather of Nevada’s casino-real estate-development nexus and hard rock mining,” nominated Bob Abbey to be the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What did Bob Abbey do before he became Director of the BLM?
Well for one thing, as the Nevada State Director of the BLM, Bob Abbey illegally fired Earle Dixon in 2004 for whistleblowing about radioactive uranium contamination from a mine in Nevada.
Earle Dixon, a mine hydrogeology specialist, was the Project Manager overseeing the cleanup of the Yerington Mine at the edge of Yerington in western Nevada.  The Anaconda Copper Co. had mined and processed copper ore at this 3,500 acre site for more than 25 years.  The site was bought by a subsidiary of BP (British Petroleum): ARCO (formerly called Atlantic Richfield).  The cleanup included contaminated groundwater, metal-contaminated mine tailings and radioactive evaporation ponds.   Dixon was trying to protect the health and safety of the cleanup workers and local residents, as well as make sure that the mine cleanup complied with the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act, and other laws.  Bob Abbey wrote a letter firing Dixon because he “alienated many of the groups that we, as an agency responsible for managing public lands, need to deal with in accomplishing our mission in an efficient and effective manner.” 
Elyssa Rosen, executive director of Great Basin Mine Watch stated “it sure looks fishy when you fire the guy who was finding and publicizing the radioactivity.”
It is fishy.  The “groups” Bob Abbey and the BLM are catering to and protecting are the mining companies responsible for contaminating untold amounts of water and depleting our aquifers.  The “mission” the BLM is accomplishing is to make money selling our public assets, our water and our public lands.

Amalgamated Copper Company is founded in April by German-born New York entrepreneur Leonard Lewisohn, 51, and his younger brother Adolph, who last year erected the Raritan Copper Works at Perth Amboy, New Jersey. They have received backing for the $65 million concern from Standard Oil Company executives William Rockefeller and Henry Huddleston Rogers and from Brownsville, Texas-born New York banker James Stillman, 48, of National City Bank. Amalgamated buys the Anaconda mine at Butter, Montana, from Marcus Daly (see 1881). The deal creates a national scandal when it turns out that Standard Oil officers have made huge profits by selling public stock in the new company before the old owners were paid. Anaconda Company will be incorporated in 1911, and it will acquire Amalgamated in 1915.

Laguna Pueblo Indian Reservation Case Study: Jackpile-Paguate Mine, New Mexico

Jan 08 2007

For over 30 years, up until 1982, one of the world’s largest open pit uranium mines, the Jackpile-Paguate Mine, was operated on the Laguna Pueblo Indian Reservation in New Mexico. The mine has had a tremendous impact on the Pueblo: socially, economically, and environmentally. While the mine has been inactive for almost fifteen years, and the tribe is currently attempting to reclaim the land, the impact of the mine’s presence continue to reverberate through Laguna society.

At the same time ITT were the leader of the 'Ad-Hoc committee on Chile', based in Washington, which brought together Anaconda Copper and other mining companies, Purina, Bank of America and Pfizer Chemical who attempted to force Allende away from natonalisation by “confronting him with economic collapse”.[29]

Excerpt:

The mines involved in the nationalization

By the late 1950s, the three principal copper mines in Chile were: Chuquicamata, El Salvador, and El Teniente. Chuquicamata and El Salvador were owned by the Anaconda Copper Company and El Teniente was owned by the Kennecott Copper Corporation. The La Exotica mine, an adjunct of Chuquicamata, was added to these big mines in 1966.These large mines were mainly self-contained and self-sustaining settlements with their own cities to house their workers, their own water and electrical plants, their own schools, stores, railways, and even in certain cases their own police forces.
Three other mines were eventually nationalized, Cerro de Pasco's Andina operation, which went to Codelco, and the two mines, Los Bronces and El Soldado, owned by Peñarroya's Disputada de las Condes, which were bought by ENAMI. Evidently these mines did not fit in with ENAMI's plans and Disputada de las Condes was subsequently sold (at a substantial profit) to Exxon Minerals.

Excerpt:
Salvador Isabelino del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Allende Gossens (Spanish pronunciation: [salβaˈðoɾ aˈʝende ˈɣosens]; 26 June 1908 – 11 September 1973) was a Chilean physician and is generally considered the first democratically elected Marxist to become president of a country in Latin America.^[1]
Allende's involvement in Chilean political life spanned a period of nearly forty years. As a member of the Socialist Party, he was a senator, deputy and cabinet minister. He unsuccessfully ran for the presidency in the 1952, 1958, and 1964 elections. In 1970, he won the presidency in a close three-way race.
He adopted the policy of nationalization of industries and collectivization. Amidst strikes by the far-right Patria y Libertad and CIA opposition under the Nixon administration, protests were held in Chile against Allende's rule.^[2] The Supreme Court criticized Allende for subordination of the judicial system to serve his own political needs; and the Chamber of Deputies formally implored^{[3][non-primary source needed]} the military to intercede and restore rule of law on 22 August 1973. Less than a month later, on 11 September Allende was deposed^[4] by the military, thus ending the Popular Unity government.^[5][6] As the armed forces surrounded La Moneda Palace, Allende gave his last speech vowing not to resign,^[7] but he was said by the U.S. to have committed suicide later in the day.^[8] In 2011, new evidence relating to the cause and manner of Allende's death has led to an official inquiry, including an autopsy. The investigation is still underway. (See section death, below). After Allende's ouster, General Augusto Pinochet did not return authority to the civilian government, Chile became led by a military junta, and then as a dictatorship by General Pinochet.

Allende's decide to take action to redistribute wealth and land in Chile. Wage increases of around 40 per cent were introduced. At the same time companies were not allowed to increase prices. The copper industry was nationalized. So also were the banks. Allende also restored diplomatic relations with Cuba, China and the German Democratic Republic.

The CIA arranged for Michael V. Townley to be sent to Chile under the alias of Kenneth W. Enyart. He was accompanied by Aldo Vera Serafin of the Secret Army Organization (SAO). Townley now came under the control of David Atlee Phillips who had been asked to lead a special task force assigned to remove Allende.

The CIA attempted to persuade Chile's Chief of Staff General Rene Schneider, to overthrow Allende. He refused and on 22nd October, 1970, his car was ambushed. Schneider drew a gun to defend himself, and was shot point-blank several times. He was rushed to hospital, but he died three days later. Military courts in Chile found that Schneider's death was caused by two military groups, one led by Roberto Viaux and the other by Camilo Valenzuela. It was claimed that the CIA was providing support for both groups.

American involvement

A [CIA] "group was set up in Langley, Virginia, with the express purpose of running a "two track" policy for Chile: one the ostensible diplomatic one and the other - unknown to the State Department or the US ambassador to Chile, Edward Korry - a strategy of destabilisation, kidnap and assassination, designed to provoke a military coup."^[4]
"On October 15, 1970, U.S. National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger was told of an extremist right-wing officer named Viaux, who had ties to Patria y Libertad Fatherland and Liberty, a quasi-fascist group intent on defying the election results) and who was willing to accept the secret US commission to remove Schneider...Kissinger's Track Two group authorised the supply of machine guns as well as tear gas grenades to Viaux's associates.^[5]
The CIA in Santiago kept contact with two groups inside the military, and provided guns and money for kidnapping Schneider, but the fact that he was killed during the operation effectively put an end to any further direct attempts. It is unclear whether the U.S. State Department sanctioned CIA assistance to Viaux, as declassified documents show that Kissinger and U.S. President Richard Nixon had expressed intentions to withhold support over concerns that the coup would fail a week before it actually took place.
"In the October 15 memo, Kissinger and Thomas Karamessines developed last-minute second thoughts about Viaux, who as late as October 13 had been given $20,000 in cash from the CIA station and promised a life insurance policy of $250,000. This offer was authorised directly from the White House. However, with only days to go before Allende was inaugurated, and with Nixon repeating that it was "absolutely essential that the election of Allende to the Presidency be thwarted", the pressure on the plotters became intense. As a direct consequence, especially after the warm words of encouragement he had been given, Viaux felt himself under some obligation to deliver also, and to disprove those who had doubted him.^[6][7]
