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 and the Clintons, with particular emphasis on those things the
mainstream media forgot to tell you]
1980-81
- CNN - [Jim] McDougal alleged that in the 1980s, he and a longtime
businessman at McDougal's S&L, Henry Hamilton, "developed a system to
pass money to Clinton," then governor of Arkansas. "I considered it just
another way of helping to take care of Bill.
"A contractor agreed to pad my monthly construction bill by $2,000,"
McDougal wrote. "The contractor put the figure on his invoice as a cost
for gravel or culvert work. After I paid the full amount ... the
contractor reimbursed me the $2,000. I turned the money over to Henry to
give to Clinton." Hamilton is dead.
"Once, after I handed Henry his latest consignment of 20 hundred-dollar
bills to relay to the governor's office, he turned the bills over and
over in one hand, like a magician," McDougal said. "Henry grinned. `You
know,' he said, `Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First had Cromwell.
Clinton could profit from these examples if he crosses us.'"
The alleged $2,000-a-month cash payment and other accusations "are
simply made up out of whole cloth," [Clinton's lawyer David] Kendall
declared.
McDougal wrote that Hamilton "insisted that under-the-table payments
would solidify our connections in state government." He said Clinton
appointed his recommended candidates to state jobs, including state
securities commissioner.

- Hillary Clinton writes Jim McDougal: "If Reagonomics works at all,
Whitewater could become the Western Hemisphere's Mecca."
- Major drug trafficker Barry Seal, under pressure from the Louisiana
cops, relocates his operations to Mena, Arkansas. Seal is importing as
much as 1,000 pounds of cociane a month from Colombia according to
Arkansas law enforcement officials. He will claim to have made more than
$50 million out of his operations. As an informant, Seal testified that
in 1980-81, before moving his operation to Arkansas, he made
approximately 60 trips to Central America and brought back 18,000
kilograms. In 1996 the Progressive Review will report: "The London
Telegraph has obtained some of the first depositions in ex-CIA contract
flyer Terry Reed's suit against Clinton's ex-security chief - and now a
high- paid FEMA director - Buddy Young. According to the Telegraph's
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, "Larry Patterson, an Arkansas state trooper,
testified under oath that there were 'large quantities of drugs being
flown into the Mena airport, large quantities of money, large quantities
of guns.' The subject was discussed repeatedly in Clinton's presence by
state troopers working on his security detail, he alleged. Patterson
said the governor 'had very little comment to make; he was just
listening to what was being said.'"
