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]
1986
Journalist Evans-Pritchard will describe the Arkansas of this period as
a "major point for the transshipment of drugs" and "perilously close to
becoming a 'narco-republic' -- a sort of mini-Columbia within the
borders of the United States." There is "an epidemic of cocaine,
contaminating the political establishment from top to bottom," with
parties "at which cocaine would be served like hors d'oeuvres and sex
was rampant." Clinton attends some of these events.
According to former CIA officials David MacMichael and Ray McGovern,
Barry Seal, a former TWA pilot who had trained Nicaraguan Contra pilots
in the early eighties, and who is facing a long sentence after a federal
drug conviction in Florida, makes his way to the White House's National
Security Council to make the following proposition to officials there.
He would fly his own plane to Colombia and take delivery of cocaine. He
would then make an emergency landing in Nicaragua and make it appear
that Sandinista officials were aiding him in drug trafficking. Seal made
it clear that he would expect help with his legal problems. The Reagan
White House jumps at the offer. Seal's plane is flown to
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where it was fitted with secret cameras
to enable Seal to photograph Nicaraguan officials in the act of
assisting him with the boxes of cocaine.
On January 17, the U. S. Attorney for the Western District drops a money
laundering and narcotics-conspiracy charges against associates of drug
smuggler Barry Seal over the protests of investigators Russell Welch of
the state police and Bill Duncan of the Internal Revenue.
In a letter to U.S. attorney general Edwin Meese, the Louisiana attorney
general wrote, Barry Seal "smuggled between $3 billion and $5 billion of
drugs into the U.S."
The operation goes as planned. The photos are delivered to the White
House, and a triumphant Ronald Reagan goes on national TV to show that
the Sandinistas are not only Communists but also criminals intent on
addicting America s youth.
A Federal Home Loan Bank Board audit describes Madison as financially
reckless, rife with conflicts and on the brink of collapse. It says that
the S&L's records are so poor that examiners often could not discover
the "real nature" of transactions. In August federal regulators will
remove McDougal from the board of Madison.
Capital Management Services Inc., owned by David Hale, makes an
SBA-approved loan of $300,000 to Susan McDougal, sole owner of an
advertising firm called Master Marketing. The loan will never be repaid.
Hale will later claim that Clinton and Jim McDougall pressured him into
making the loan.
Dan Lasater, Arkansas bond don who is close to Clinton, pleads guilty
to cocaine distribution charges. The case also involves Clinton step
brother Roger, who testifies against Lasater in a plea agreement.. While
Lasater is in prison his affairs will be run by Patsy Thomasson, who
later becomes a White House aide.
Seal is scheduled to testify at the trial of Jorge Ochoa Vasques. But on
February 19, shortly before the trial is to begin, Seal is murdered in
Baton Rouge gangland style by three Colombian hit men armed with machine
guns who attack while he seated behind the wheel of his white Cadillac
in Baton Rouge, La. The Colombians, connected with the Medellin drug
cartel, are tried and convicted. Upon hearing of Seal's murder, one DEA
agent says, "There was a contract out on him, and everyone knew it. He
was to have been a crucial witness in the biggest case in DEA history."
According to the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, "Seal was
probably the biggest importer of cocaine in American history. Between
1980 and his assassination in 1986, his team of pilots smuggled in 36
metric tons of cocaine, 104 tons of marijuana and three tons of heroin,
according to a close associate of Seal. The sums of money involved were
staggering. At his death, Seal left a number of operational bank
accounts. One of them, at the Cayman Islands branch of the Fuji Bank,
currently has an interest-earning balance of $1,645,433,000."
ROGER MORRIS & SALLY DENTON, PENTHOUSE - Seal himself spent considerable
sums to land, base, maintain, and specially equip or refit his aircraft
for smuggling. According to personal and business records, he had
extensive associations at Mena and in Little Rock, and was in nearly
constant telephone contact with Mena when he was not there himself.
Phone records indicate Seal made repeated calls to Mena the day before
his murder. This was long after Seal, according to his own testimony,
was working as an $800,000-a-year informant for the federal government.
Eight months after the murder, Seal's cargo plane is shot down over
Nicaragua. It is carrying ammunition and other supplies for the Contras
from Mena. One crew member, Eugene Hasenfus, survives.
ROGER MORRIS & SALLY DENTON, PENTHOUSE - Tax records show that, having
assessed Seal posthumously for some $86 million in back taxes on his
earnings from Mena and elsewhere between 1981 and 1983, even the l.RS.
forgave the taxes on hundreds of millions in known drug and gun profits
over the ensuing two-year period when Seal was officially admitted to be
employed by the government.
ROGER MORRIS & SALLY DENTON, PENTHOUSE - Arkansas state trooper Larry
Patterson [would later testify] under oath, according to The London
Sunday Telegraph, that he and other officers "discussed repeatedly in
Clinton's presence" the "large quantities of drugs being flown into the
Mena airport, large quantities of money, large quantities of guns,"
indicating that Clinton may have known much more about Seal's activities
than he has admitted.
Whitewater fails to file corporate tax returns for this year.
Clinton is reelected governor.
Roger Clinton is paroled.
