Congress gives Native American lands to foreign mining company

ConservativeByte– Congress is poised to give a foreign mining company 2,400 acres of national forest in Arizona that is cherished ancestral homeland to Apache natives.

As Reported By RT:

Controversially, the measure is attached to annual legislation that funds the US Defense Department.

This week, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees quietly attached a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would mandate the handover of a large tract of Tonto National Forest to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining company Rio Tinto, which co-owns with Iran a uranium mine in Africa and which is 10-percent-owned by China.    more here

  1. But surely this is Constitutional! Doesn’t the Preamble say something to the effect that one of the purposes of the Constitution is to

    “promote the generals’ Welfare”

    …or did I get it wrong? (-:

  8. Isn’t this the same government that takes offense that a sports team exists which is called The Redskins cuz the government is sooo sensitive to the feewings of native Americans (previously known as American Indians before it became a thoughtcrime to call ’em that)?

  9. So much for state sovereignty, the power of the federal government is unleashed.

    Was this part of the Iran nuclear deal?

    Follow the money…how much money has rio tinto contributed the last 15 years and who received it?

    If mccain is for it, it ain’t good.
    Somebody is being paid off on way or the other.

  10. WTH?? “Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining company Rio Tinto, which co-owns with Iran a uranium mine in Africa and which is 10-percent-owned by China.”

    So our thugs and punks politicians are handing over land which is revered by Indians along with the copper mining rights, to a conglomeration of “friends” and enemies of the USA? Yet the same politician SJW”s were just recently wringing their hands, gnashing their teeth, and demanding there should be no such disrespect shown toward our Indian friends through naming sports teams, etc., “Braves” or “Redskins”, or any other Indian related term. PLease, someone expose what McCain et al, pocketed from this slimy deal
