Israel's uranium initially came from NUMEC- Apollo, Pennsylvania in mid sixties.

NUMEC: How Israel Stole The Bomb - Ryan Dawson

The NUMEC Affair is a festering wound in American history, a grotesque saga of Israeli treachery and the craven complicity of Zionist American collaborators who betrayed their country for a foreign leech. In the mid-1950s, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation, known as NUMEC, was established in Apollo, Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Zalman Shapiro, a fervent Zionist with deep ties to Israel’s scientific and military elite. By the 1960s, this unassuming facility became the epicentre of a scandal that saw hundreds of pounds, with estimates ranging from 200 to 600 pounds, of highly enriched uranium, the raw material for nuclear bombs, vanish into thin air. This was not a petty theft but a meticulously planned operation, with fingers pointing squarely at Israel, a nation desperate to bolster its clandestine nuclear arsenal at any cost.

The evidence is damning. Shapiro, a chemist with a history of working on America’s own nuclear projects, including the Nautilus submarine, had extensive contacts with Israeli officials, including known intelligence operatives like Rafi Eitan, who later surfaced as the mastermind behind the Jonathan Pollard espionage case. In 1968, four Israeli agents, including Eitan, visited NUMEC under dubious pretences, coinciding with a period when the plant’s inventory discrepancies were glaring. The Atomic Energy Commission noted losses far exceeding typical industrial margins, over 206 pounds by some accounts, enough for several bombs, yet failed to act decisively. The CIA, in a 1976 briefing to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, dropped a bombshell, revealing that environmental samples near Israel’s Dimona reactor showed traces of highly enriched uranium matching the unique isotopic signature of American production, strongly suggesting a diversion from NUMEC. Yet, the American response was a shameful whimper. FBI probes dragged on from 1965 to 1980, stymied by bureaucratic inertia and political cowardice, while successive administrations, from Lyndon Johnson to Jimmy Carter, buried the affair under a shroud of secrecy, terrified of confronting their precious ally.

Meanwhile, the Zionist rot within America festered. Shapiro’s NUMEC enjoyed cosy relationships with Israel’s nuclear establishment, shipping significant quantities of nuclear materials under lax oversight. The Plumbat Affair of 1968, where Israel orchestrated the theft of 200 tons of uranium yellowcake from Europe, showcased their willingness to plunder global resources, an audacity mirrored in Apollo. American officials, riddled with Zionist sympathisers, ensured investigations were toothless. Carter, briefed by CIA Director George H.W. Bush in 1976, chose to suppress the truth, fearing it would derail his Middle East diplomacy. His National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, admitted the evidence was inconclusive but leaned on technicalities to avoid action, a spineless dodge to protect Israel’s image. The result was a nation founded on theft and deception arming itself with America’s own resources, while traitors like Shapiro walked free, leaving a toxic legacy, as the Army Corps of Engineers still grapples with NUMEC’s radioactive waste. This betrayal is not just history but a glaring warning of how Zionism’s tentacles strangle American integrity, proving Israel’s alliance is a one-way street paved with duplicity and disgrace.
