"#LagunaIndustries funded by uranium mining operations

"A court case reveals the history of Laguna Industries, which involved #RaytheonMissiles and #NewMexico taxes.

"Laguna Industries, Inc., is a New Mexico corporation wholly owned by the Pueblo of Laguna, an Indian tribe organized under the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 476 (1988 Supp. 1992). In the early 1980s, the Pueblo sought to invest capital accumulated from #UraniumMining operations and to find employment for tribal members who were unemployed because of the decline of the uranium industry."

"To accomplish this purpose, the Pueblo incorporated Laguna with the goal of obtaining federal contracts from the Department of Defense (#DOD). To assure DOD that Laguna would be competent to handle these contracts, Laguna contracted with #Raytheon, a major defense contractor, for technical, training, and management assistance."

Interior Sec. #DebHaaland's Pueblo is in the #BallisticMissile Parts Business

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Nov. 4, 2024

LAGUNA PUEBLO, New Mexico -- "Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's tribe's enterprise, #LagunaIndustries, manufactures parts for both the ballistic missile, and parts for combat jets, including the #F15. #Biden recently approved the sale of fifty F-15 jets to #Israel in a $20 billion deal.

"The discovery comes after Biden was protested at #GilaRiver Indian Community, and Interior Sec. Haaland was sued by three #Arizona tribes.

[...]

"Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's permit for lithium mining at #Hualapai ceremonial spring south of the #GrandCanyon, and her promotion of #LithiumMining now digging in to the #Paiute Massacre site, #PeeheeMuhuh, #ThackerPass in northern #Nevada, were difficult to understand. Until now.

"The lithium mining into the Paiute Massacre Site is for the benefit of big industry electric vehicles, and violates all federal laws that protect religious and historic sites, the water and environment, and endangered species. The mining operation is by #LithiumAmericas of Canada.

"The #Hualapai Tribe said Hualapai were never consulted before Haaland granted the drilling permit to the Australian company #HawkstoneMining. The Hualapai Tribe filed a federal lawsuit against Haaland.

"In a separate federal lawsuit, the #TohonoOodham and #SanCarlosApache Nations have filed a lawsuit against Haaland for the bulldozers now destroying ancient villages sites, burial places and medicine grounds in #SanPedroValley in Arizona, for #SunZia's transmission lines for a wind energy project.
The United States government is also allowing #EnergyFuels to operate a #UraniumMine in the Grand Canyon, now threatening the aquifer and poisoning Havasupai's air and ancestral homeland. The radioactive haul route to Energy Fuels uranium mill in the #WhiteMesaUte community in Utah endangers #Supai, #Paiute, #Dine' (#Navajo), #Hopi, and #Ute.

"The Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management, BLM, has a history of rubber stamping environmental impact statements, resulting in devastation."

Holy sh*t! This from my friend #BrendaNorrell at #CensoredNews: Update (10/28/2024): "Interior Sec. #DebHaaland's push for #uranium and #LithiumMining in #SacredPlaces in #IndianCountry, poisoning the water, and the push for increased #plutonium storage in the heart of #PuebloLand, and promotion of the #AtomicBomb industry as #GreenEnergy, was surprising and confusing -- until a reader exposed the U.S. Defense Department [#USDOD] contracts going to Haaland's tribe's business #LagunaIndustries in #NewMexico. See reader comments below."

"Deb Haaland's tribe's business, Laguna Industries uses #DepletedUranium in their military components. Depleted uranium is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process, and it's incredible dense, making it ideal for military applications. It's used to make armor-piercing ammunition for tank armor because it can easily penetrate armored vehicles. Their front company is a maker of car wash components."
