US-China NUKE SCIENTIST EXCHANGE PLANNED
..............................................................................................................................

Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman is working on a major Obama administration initiative that would renew scientist exchanges between U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories and Chinese nuclear facilities.

The idea is aimed at promoting openness and transparency by China’s military about its secret, large-scale buildup of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. officials.

Critics say the plan is similar to an exchange program in the 1990s that sent U.S. nuclear scientists to China and produced one of the worst cases of nuclear espionage. Secrets about every deployed warhead in the U.S. arsenal were compromised, including the W-88 small nuclear warhead deployed on submarine-launched missiles.

“We’ve seen this movie before, and it has a bad ending,” one official said.

Officials familiar with the plan told Inside the Ring that the initiative was discussed during a recent policy committee meeting of senior national security officials at the White House.

The initiative is part of the administration’s arms-control-centered security policies. According to the officials, the administration hopes to coax the reluctant Chinese communist leadership and its military into engaging the United States in strategic nuclear talks, something China so far has refused.

“This is a way to reach out to [the Chinese] with multilateral arms-control programs,” said a second U.S. official familiar with the plan.

The initiative likely will face opposition from Congress.

House Republicans added language to the 2012 Defense Authorization Act that restricts the Pentagon and Energy department from cooperating with Beijing in setting up a nuclear security center in China. The provision, when signed into law, will block funding for the center until the secretary of defense certifies that China has halted nuclear proliferation and that the center will be in line with U.S. interests.

U.S. intelligence has linked China to nuclear arms proliferation in Pakistan and other emerging nuclear states.

The second official said the plan evokes memories of the 1990s case of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee.

Former Energy Department intelligence chief Notra Trulock stated in his 2003 book that Lee, a scientist at Los Alamos’ weapons-designing X Division, provided sensitive nuclear weapons data to China during unreported meetings with nuclear weapons scientists as part of Energy’s exchange programs.

Lee was the U.S. government’s chief suspect in the compromise of W-88 warhead secrets to China.

The FBI, however, mishandled the case against him, and he was never charged with espionage. Instead, he pleaded guilty in September 2001 to a felony charge of mishandling classified information.

Lee denied being a spy and said he was targeted by the FBI because he is Chinese-American.

The FBI has said as recently as last year that it is still investigating the theft of U.S. nuclear secrets by China from the 1990s. But no one has been arrested for the crime since the Lee case.

U.S. counterintelligence in 1998 warned about China’s aggressive intelligence targeting of nuclear scientists. It stated that “rather than send its intelligence officers out to recruit knowledgeable sources at facilities such as the national laboratories, China prefers to exploit over time the natural scientist-to-scientist relationships.”

“Chinese scientists nurture relationships with national laboratory counterparts, issuing invitations for them to travel to laboratories and conferences in China,” the report on foreign spying against laboratories said.

Security officials say renewing the nuclear lab exchange also would reward China for massive cyberattacks against nuclear labs that have been ongoing for decades.

Energy Department spokesman Joshua McConaha said there currently is no nuclear initiative with China.

“There are periodic meetings to review our China activities, which currently cover a number of areas under our peaceful uses and science agreements,” he said, declining to discuss details of the meetings.

Chinese officials repeatedly have rejected U.S. calls for strategic nuclear talks, most recently in January during the visit there by then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.

A 2008 State Department cable quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry official He Yafei as rejecting U.S. appeals for Chinese nuclear transparency, noting that openness “would eliminate the value of China’s strategic deterrent.”

Meanwhile, Chinese military support for U.S. enemies appears to be growing. According to an Iranian press report from Dec. 4, Chinese Maj. Gen. Zhang Zhaozhong said, “China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War.”

Under my Mobile Court Unit plan, when the tractor-trailer jail/court is deployed to pick up a local Black flash mob who filmed themselves shooting and stabbing several city blocks of Whites, it can also swing by and pick up Mr. Jacques for torching the Black Church. Justice should be completely color blind.

Try them all together en route to an underground mass gas chamber. The sentencing phase should be completed just as they arrive. At that point, escort them in, seal the facility, and release the gas. Wash, rinse, and repeat until society becomes civil and habitable again.

In these cases that have abundant video evidence and numerous eye witnesses, the amount of time from 'suspects' to 'convicted felons' to 'executed inmates' should be measured in hours not decades. Seriously.

A Mobile Court Unit that is deployed to the scene of a heinous crime and imprisons and tries all of the perpetrators en route the mass execution center is very efficient in terms of carrying out a speedy trial and satisfying justice for all.

If a group of hick Whites decide to drag an old Black man to his death, gas them!

If a Black flash mob wants stab and shoot their way across a White neighborhood or the County Fair, gas them!

If a White idiot wants to take out his frustration over Obama by torching a Black Church, gas him!

If a Muslim invader wants to yell, "Allahu Akbar" as he shoots up his fellow U.S. soldiers, gas him!

If an illegal Mestizo wants slash women's buttocks with a rusty old razor blade, gas him!

Race matters not! The violence must end. Find the perps and gas them! And do NOT let them go once they are in custody!!! There is a 100% chance that a dead perpetrator will not hurt anyone else again.
