ARKANSAS CONNECTIONS
[Since the Democrats seem determined to nominate Hillary Clinton, we
thought we would offer a little historical context from our time line of
Arkansas during the Clinton years, with particular emphasis on those
things the mainstream media forgot to tell you]
1976
Bill Clinton is elected attorney general of Arkansas.
Two Indonesian billionaires come to Arkansas. Mochtar Riady and Liem
Sioe Liong are close to Suharto. Riady is looking for an American bank
to buy. Finds Jackson Stephens with whom he forms Stephens Finance.
Stephens will broker the arrival of BCCI to this country and steer
BCCI's founder, Hassan Abedi, to Bert Lance.
Riady's teen-age son is taken on as an intern by Stephens Inc. He later
says he was "sponsored" by Bill Clinton.
1977
Hillary Clinton joins the Rose Law Firm.
Apparently because of pressure from Indonesia, Riady withdraws his bid
to buy Lance's 30% share of the National Bank of Georgia. Instead, a
BCCI front man buys the shares and Abedi moves to secretly take over
Financial General - later First American Bankshares -- later the subject
of the only BCCI-connected scandal to be prosecuted in the US.
1978
Clinton is elected governor.
The Clintons and McDougals buy land in the Ozarks for $203,000 with
mostly borrowed funds. The Clintons get 50% interest with no cash down.
The 203 acre plot, known as Whitewater, is fifty miles from the nearest
grocery store. The Washington Post will report later that some
purchasers of lots, many of them retirees, "put up houses or cabins,
others slept in vans or tents, hoping to be able to live off the land."
More than half of the purchasers will lose their plots thanks to the
sleazy form of financing used.
Two months after commencing the Whitewater scam, Hillary Clinton invests
$1,000 in cattle futures. Within a few days she has a $5,000 profit.
Before bailing out she earns nearly $100,000 on her investment. Many
years later, several economists will calculate that the chances of
earning such returns legally were one in 250 million.
Governor Clinton appoints Jim McDougal an economic development advisor.
Bill Clinton's mother hangs out at the race track with mobsters and
other local figures, including Dan Lasater who breeds race horses in
Kentucky and Florida and has a box at the track next to hers. Mrs.
Clinton introduces Lasater to Roger Clinton.
Roger Clinton develops a four-gram a day cocaine habit, getting his
stuff from New York and Medellin suppliers, based (as one middleman will
later testify) on "who his brother was." Sharlene Wilson is one of his
dealers. Dan Lasater will give Roger work and loan him $8,000 to pay off
a drug debt.
In later allegations, Juanita Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's
gubernatorial campaign, claims she is attacked by by Clinton with her
lip almost bitten off. Hospital nurses report Broaddrick's incident as a
rape but the report along with photos have since disappeared.
According to Roger Morris in Partners in Power, a young woman lawyer in
Little Rock will later claim that she was accosted by Clinton this year
and that when she recoiled he forced himself on her, biting and bruising
her. "Deeply affected by the assault, the woman decided to keep it all
quiet for the sake of her own hard-won career and that of her husband.
When the husband later saw Clinton at the 1980 Democratic Convention, he
delivered a warning. 'If you ever approach her,' he told the governor,
'I'll kill you.' Not even seeing fit to deny the incident, Bill Clinton
sheepishly apologized and duly promised never to bother her again."
