Brazen Raid On Nuke Facility May Have Been Inside Job

Anton Gerber fought off four armed men before he was shot in the chest and nearly died. But he may have prevented the unthinkable: bomb-grade uranium, enough to make a dozen nuclear weapons, in the hands of mysterious masked gunmen.

In his first television interview, the burly South African tells 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley how he fought with armed attackers who infiltrated what should be a highly secured South African nuclear facility containing bomb-grade, highly enriched uranium, or HEU, and provides details that point to an inside job.

Blame P 2 0 G - A great general purpose answer.

That sophisticated an attack and they didn't get anything? Who says they didn't and why should we believe them?

[OutsiderSA]

Yeah we do uranium enrichment like the Simpsons movie, actually, it is out in the open to make full use of our great weather. Just a wire fence with a padlock, that's all security we have at that plant.

And of course nuculear waste is a myth so we just dump it into the sea what me worry?

scary crap wow!!

[dbdzen]

South Africa is the only country in history to give up nuclear weapons voluntarily. Nelson Mandela shut down the country's nuclear weapons program when he became president.

they're mostly all inside jobs

[pointyheadprodigy]

I wonder why this story is so apparently unimportant? It sounds important because of the HEU. Didn't we just throw ourselves unthinkingly, immorally into an unprovoked war on the false flag of some "yellow cake" while this sort of thing was possible with HEU on the line. I ain't nobody, and I am assuming that "HEU" means High Explosive Uranium, or something similar, but Jeez the con that we are suffering through as a nation just seems to smell worse every time the wind blows.

Google red mercury for a great conspiracy story.

[OnePartyEqualsTyranny]

Uh, was it the C-I-A

[AC-DC]

[TrooAmerican]

Holy Cow! thats a REAL hero

[namewithheld]

What if I try n.i.n.e-e.l.e.v.e.n? Would that make it through the censors?

[namewithheld]

An inside job like nine-eleven? Ha! Hello, censors, I know I'm not allowed to question the official version of the nine-eleven story here in the mainstream press.

This story happened a year ago, but I admire Mr. Gerber's emu-sized ba ll s.

[dadw5boys]

Ok what is South Africa doing with bomb grade Nuclear Material ?

[Big0725]

South Africa and Israel both went nuclear (supposedly) about the same time a while back

[OutsiderSA]

We however developed it ourselves. We have uranium and maybe got the enrichment techniques from the USA via Israel in the good old boys coalition of the cold war. But then again France helped build our first nuclear power station.

Oh Doh

Google Koeberg.

We haz had new-coo-lear power station since the '80's Doh

And Yes we were also new-coo-lear capable like the mushroom variety making stuff since then too, until as pointed out we opted out voluntarily.

While you are about it google armscor and learn of our rooivalk attack helicopter. Not your average banana republic - oh wait we have free and fair elections decided in two days - sorry.
