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]
1996
Clinton gives a speech to a group of Little Rock supporters in which he
calls those pressing the Whitewater and other investigations "a cancer"
that he will "cut out of American politics."
Barbara Wise, a Commerce Department secretary and associate of John
Huang, is found bruised and partially nude in a locked office at
Commerce. Cause of death remains unknown.
In late March, a score of witnesses are subpoenaed for a grand jury
probe of Ron Brown, who hires a $750/hour criminal attorney. Among the
issues: an Oklahoma gas company's alleged funneling of over a half
million dollars to in order to get him to fix a lawsuit pending against
the firm.
Janet Reno names Daniel Pearson to head the probe. She says he can
investigate anything. Brown reportedly urges Clinton to get Reno off his
back, but evidence of Brown's crookedness has reached Capitol Hill and
the Attorney General apparently feels there is no turning back. It will
be later alleged by some close to that the Commerce Secretary has told
the president that if he is going down, he is not going down alone.
Four days after the grand jury subpoenas are issued, Ron Brown is dead
-- killed when the plane in which he was flying (along with nearly three
dozen other Americans) crashes into a mountain in Croatia. From the
start, there are a number of anomalies including inconsistencies over
the purported state of the weather, where the plane is reported to have
crashed, what happened to the plane's black boxes, and the subsequent
suicide of an airport official in charge of navigational aids. Further,
even though the crash site is a little over a mile from the runway, the
first rescuers do not officially arrive on the scene for more than four
hours.
Hillary Clinton attempts to conceal the fact that she had $120,000 of
editorial help in preparing her book-like substance.
Hillary Clinton tells New Zealand television that she was named after
Sir Edmund Hillary. At the time of Mrs. Clinton's birth, Hillary was an
unknown beekeeper.
Senator Bob Kerrey, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee, tells Esquire that Clinton is "an unusually good liar."
Convicted cocaine distributor Dan Lasater testifies before Congress. The
New York Times, among others, does not cover the story even though
Lasater is close to Clinton and paid off Roger Clinton's debt to the
drug cartel. Lasater also raised race horses and was a track buddy of
Virginia Kelly, through whom he met her son Bill. When Lasater started a
bonding company, Bill Clinton recommended to him highway commissioner
Patsy Thomasson, who would become vice president of the Lasater firm and
have power of attorney while he was in jail. Thomasson would eventually
become director of White House Management and Administration,
responsible for drug testing among other things. While with Lasater,
Thomasson hired Clinton's half-brother as a limo driver. Roger was also
employed as a stable hand at Lasater's Florida farm. In his trial, and
in testimony before the Senate Whitewater committee, Lasater admits to
being free with coke, including ashtrays full of it on his corporate
jet. He also admits to having given coke to employees and to minors. But
he takes umbrage at being called a drug dealer since he didn't charge
for the stuff.
According to some witnesses, Lasater also had a back door pass to the
governor's mansion. One state trooper reported taking Clinton to
Lasater's office regularly and waiting forty-five minutes or an hour for
him to come out.
The death of ex-CIA director William Colby, allegedly while canoeing,
raises a number of questions. For example, Colby left his home unlocked,
his computer on, and a partly eaten dinner on the table. Colby had
recently become an editor of Strategic Investment, a newsletter which
was doing investigative reporting on the Vince Foster death.
Jim McDougal tells a reporter that he doesn't expect to leave prison
alive.
An independent investigator finds evidence of an electronic transfer of
$50 million from the Arkansas Development Financial Authority to a bank
in the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman has a population of 18,000, 570
commercial banks, one bank regulator and a bank secrecy law. It is a
favorite destination spot for laundered drug money.
The Associated Press reports: "Some of the Clinton White House employees
who were placed in a special drug testing program had used cocaine and
hallucinogens and were originally denied White House security passes,
Secret Service agents testified Wednesday. The testing program was
created as a compromise so the new administration's workers could keep
their jobs, according to Arnold Cole, who supervised the Secret
Service's White House operations. "Initially, our response was that we
denied them passes," Cole said in a deposition released by the House
Government Reform and Oversight Committee. . . Another agent's
deposition revealed the background checks turned up use of hard drugs.
"I have seen cocaine usage. I have seen hallucinogenic usages, crack
usages," said Jeffrey Undercoffer, when asked to describe the types of
drugs used by employees who were placed in the special programs. The
Associated Press reported Monday that 21 Clinton White House workers had
been placed in the special testing after their background checks
indicated recent drug abuse."
The son of the man Vince Foster's widow married is killed in a single
car crash against a brick wall. There are reports that he had been
talking to reporters and that Neil Moody had discovered something
unsettling among his stepmother's private papers and was threatening to
go public with it just prior to the beginning of the Democratic National
Convention. Witnesses say they saw Neil sitting in his car arguing with
another person and suddenly speeding off out of control and hitting a
brick wall.
Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jeremy Boorda, allegedly kills
himself after going home for lunch. Explanations for suicide include his
wearing an improper medal and/or stresses over Navy downsizing.
Explanations for Boorda's suicide focus on a claim that he was
embarrassed over two "V for Valor" pins he was not authorized to wear.
When it turns out that Boorda was entitled to those decorations, blame
shifts to stresses over down sizing of the Navy and the adverse affect
that feminism was having on the Navy's morale.
Ron Brown is among 33 killed in a plane crash in Croatia. Shelly Kelly
is the flight attendent on Ron Brown's ill fated flight. James Nugent of
the Wall Street Underground writes, "Four hours and 20 minutes after the
crash, the first Croatian Special Forces search party arrives on the
scene and finds only Ms. Kelly surviving. They call for a helicopter to
evacuate her to the hospital. When it arrives, she is able to get aboard
without assistance from the medics. But Kelly never completes the short
hop. She dies enroute. According to multiple reports given to
journalist/editor Joe L. Jordan, an autopsy later reveals a neat
three-inch incision over her main femoral artery. It also shows that the
incision came at least three hours after her other cuts and bruises."
Chief Niko Jerkuic, technician in charge of the radio beacons used
during the fatal Ron Brown flight commits suicide. Christopher Ruddy and
Hugh Sprunt write, "Brown's plane was probably relying on Croatian
ground beacons for navigation. In the minutes before Brown's plane
crashed, five other planes landed at Dubrovnik without difficulty, and
none experienced problems with the beacons. But additional questions
about the beacons and the crash will remain unanswered because, as the
Air Force acknowledges, airport maintenance chief Niko Junic died by
gunshot just three days after the crash and before he could be
interviewed by investigators. Within a day of his death, officials
determined the death was a suicide."
The three major networks spend an average of one hour and twelve minutes
each on the Clinton scandals during all of the year.
According to a later report by Michael Isikoff of Newsweek, Charles
Uribe, chairman of A.J. Construction Co. in New York, gets an unusual
phone message . "The vice president is on the line," his secretary says.
"Vice president of what?" Uribe barks. "The vice president of the United
States," she says. Uribe immediately takes the call, and other
executives in the room listened curiously to their boss's end of the
conversation, a string of "yes, sirs" and "no, sirs." When Uribe gets
off he explains, "We need to raise $50,000 for the campaign," he said,
according to an account a colleague later give the FBI.
In his 2004 book, "Rewriting History," Dick Morris will allege that
Clinton improperly influenced U.S. District Court Judge Henry Woods to
dismiss Whitewater charges against then-Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker,
who had threatened to go public about Hillary's involvement in the
fraudulent Castle Grande land deal. After Clinton Attorney General Janet
Reno ruled that Starr had jurisdiction over Tucker's involvement in
Whitewater, Tucker was "furious," said Morris. Using Morris as a
go-between, Tucker sent a warning: "Tell the president that if that SOB
wants to play the game this way, I know all about the IDC," the formal
business name for Castle Grande.
When Morris passes on the threat to Clinton, "he turned white as a
sheet." "Clinton sat down, put his head in his hands and said, 'Oh my
God, do you know what he means?" Morris said he replied, "No, but I
think you know what he means."
Later that night, Morris said Clinton told him, "I took care of that
problem today." Three weeks later Judge Woods tossed out the Tucker
indictment. Though the case was later reinstated, Tucker never followed
through on his threat.
Hillary Clinton's Rose law firm billing records, sought for two years by
congressional investigators and the special prosecutor are found in the
back room of the personal residence at the White House.
Two Arkansas bankers are indicted on bank fraud and conspiracy charges
in connection with Clinton's 1990 run for governor.
David Hale is convicted of fraud and sentenced to prison. In another
trial so are Governor Tucker and the McDougals.
Al Gore raises an illegal $100,000 at a fund-raiser at a Buddhist temple
in California.
It is revealed that the White House has been improperly in the
possession of large numbers of FBI files on people including political
figures.
The CIA admits to having operated out of Mena but denies involvement
with drug trafficking and other illegal activities. Writes the Wall
Street Journal's Micah Morrison, "Three days after the 1996 presidential
election, the CIA issued a brief report saying it had engaged in
'authorized and lawful activities' at the airfield, including 'routine
aviation-related services' and a secret 'joint-training operation with
another federal agency.' The agency said it was not 'associated with
money laundering, narcotics trafficking, arms smuggling, or other
illegal activities' at Mena."
Boris Yeltsin, as he will later recount in his memoirs, learns of
Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. He thinks Lewinsky is part of a
GOP plot to bring Clinton down. Says Yeltsin: "Clinton's enemies planned
to plant a young provocateur in his entourage who would spark a major
scandal capable of ruining the president's reputation."
Years later, Yeltsin will be interviewed by Giles Whittell for the Times
of London: "It seemed the moment to ask about a claim in the new book,
Midnight Diaries, that Russian intelligence warned Yeltsin as early as
1996 that US Republican party activists intended to plant an attractive
young woman in the Clinton White House to embarrass its most senior
occupant. Did he know then that this woman would be Monica Lewinsky?". .
. 'I knew,' Yeltsin replied. . . Why then did he not tell President
Clinton, whom he famously referred to as 'Friend Bill?'. . . 'He had
enough problems already,' Yeltsin said. 'But it was not only because of
that. I decided not to mention it because I didn't fully believe it, and
because we are very sensitive to such issues in Russia. I was also
convinced that he would overcome the problem himself, which in the end
he did.'"
The NY Post will take a less benign view at the time reporting that US
intelligence was worried about "indications that the Russians were aware
of Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky well before the scandal
broke" and that "the Russian SVR spy agency, successor to the KGB, may
have intercepted Clinton's phone-sex conversations with her." If true,
the Russians could have blackmailed Clinton beginning almost at the
start of his second term.
The conservative British journal Brookes News later writes: "In her
testimony for Ken Starr's grand jury, Lewinsky told of a curious comment
of Clinton's after she performed her services: that he was worried about
a 'foreign power listening in' to their activities and conversations. He
was especially concerned about the many phone-sex conversations he had
with her, calling her from the White House and Air Force One."
