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]
1990
Clinton friend James Riady takes over operations of a new branch of the
Lippo Bank, working with Hong Kong Lippo executive, John Huang. China
Resources Company Ltd begins buying stock in the branch, Hong Kong
Chinese Bank, at 15% below market value. Intelligence sources later
report that the firm is really a front for Chinese military
intelligence.
Warren Stephens raises $50,000 overnight so Clinton can buy TV time in
his struggling re-election bid.
Sharlene Wilson tells a US grand jury investigating drugs in Arkansas
that she provided cocaine to Clinton during his first term and that once
the governor was so high he fell into a garbage can. The federal drug
investigation is shut down within days of her testimony. Wilson flees,
terrified of the state prosecuting attorney -- her former lover, and
Clinton ally, Dan Harmon. She will be eventually arrested by Harmon
himself and sent up for 31 years on a minor drug charge.
The case against Terry Reed goes to court. Terry Reed had been asked to
take part in Operation Donation, under which planes and boats needed by
the Contras "disappear," allowing owners to claim insurance. Reed has
been a Contra operative and CIA asset working with Felix Rodriguez, the
Contra link to the CIA and then-Vice President Bush's office. Reed later
claimed he refused, but that his plane was removed while he was away.
Terry Reed's plane was returned but, according to his account, he is
asked not to report it because it might have to be "borrowed" again.
Reed later says that he had become aware that the Contra operation also
involved drug running and had gotten cold feet. He also believed that
large sums of drug money were being laundered by leading Arkansas
financiers. He went to Felix Rodriguez and told him he was quitting.
Reed was subsequently charged with mail fraud for having allegedly
claimed insurance on a plane that was in fact hidden in a hanger in
Little Rock. The head of Clinton's Swiss Guard, Capt. Buddy Young, will
claim to have been walking around the North Little Rock Airport when "by
an act of God" a gust of wind blew open the hangar door and revealed the
Piper Turbo Arrow.
The case is thrown out of court by the federal judge who said, "It's my
opinion no jury could find by reasonable doubt that the defendant was
guilty. There are too many holes in the chain of proof for the
government to prove mail fraud." Clinton's security chief, Captain Buddy
Young, is described by the judge as having a "reckless disregard for the
truth." Young, who will play a major role in keeping state troopers
quiet about Clinton, will end up in a $92,000-a-year job with FEMA, a
federal agency established to handle major disasters.
Reed will file a civil action against Buddy Young. Ambrose
Evans-Pritchard will report that one witness, Arkansas state trooper
Larry Patterson, testified that there were "large quantities of drugs
being flown into Mena airport, large quantities of money, large
quantities of guns." Patterson says the matter was repeatedly discussed
in front of Clinton by his bodyguards. Patterson said the governor had
"very little comment to make; he was just listening to what was being
said." Reed's case will unravel when the judge rules that no evidence
regarding Mena, the CIA, Dan Lasater, the Arkansas Development Finance
Agency or the Clintons will be permitted.
Drug distributor Dan Lasater is pardoned by Governor Clinton after
serving just six months in jail and four in a halfway house on minor
charges. One law enforcement official will describe the investigation
into Lasater's operations as "either a high dive or extremely
unprofessional. Take your pick." The alleged reason for the pardon: so
Lasater can get a hunting license. Lasater returns to his 7,400 acre
ranch in Saline County.
Jean Duffey, the head of a newly created drug task force, starts
investigating between the train deaths and drugs. She is told by her
prosecuting attorney boss, "You are not to use the drug task force to
investigate public officials." Duffey will later tell the Wall Street
Journal, "We had witnesses telling us about low-flying aircraft and
informants testifying about drug pick-ups."
Jim McDougal is acquitted of bank fraud.
Gov. Clinton is elected to a second four-year term. He promises to serve
the full term and not run for president.
