Subject: SLS: THE SECRET HAND OF CHINA (fwd)
<snip>
>
>THE SECRET HAND OF CHINA
> Starr, Thompson and Burton Opposition Linked to China
>
>*Exclusive*
>
>When the People's Republic of China does business in the U.S., it
>is often represented by the Asian-American law firm of Perkins
>Coie, which maintains a large office in Taipei, Taiwan and is
>headquartered in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. The company
>prospectus boasts of representing "numerous PRC entities in
>connection with manufacturing facilities in the United States,
>numerous PRC entities involved in U.S. corporate, real estate and
>acquisition matters, as well as numerous PRC state-owned
>enterprises in U.S. corporate and trade matters, including
>import-export, shipping, aviation and transportation companies."
>
>Moreover, Perkins Coie claims that it maintains "good
>relationships with PRC governmental authorities at the central,
>provincial and local levels."
>
>As opposed to John Huang and Maria Hsia, who are known to the FBI
>as clandestine agents of Communist China, Perkins Coie does not
>try to hide the fact that it is an agent of the PRC.
>
>It comes as a great surprise, then, that Perkins Coie appeared as
>legal counsel for no less than seven witnesses who appeared
>before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee to testify about
>illegal fundraising, focusing on an illegal plan by the
>government of China to influence U.S. elections.
>
>One of those represented by Perkins Coie was none other than
>Richard Sullivan, the former DNC finance chief responsible for
>fundraising during the 1996 presidential campaign.
>
>With the shocking revelation by Bob Woodward that the Ministry of
>State Security in Beijing -- the Chinese equivalent of the CIA --
>boasted it had been successful in "thwarting" the congressional
>inquiry, the Perkins Coie connection becomes even more troubling.
>Did Perkins Coie work with Committee Democrats to block the
>inquiry? The actions of the Senators speak for themselves. When
>Sullivan was before the Committee for the second time,
>dissembling and evading his way through the flak put up by
>Republican Senators, it was Senator Glenn who launched into a
>filibustering tirade about the "unfairness" of the investigation.
>When Chairman Thompson had to gavel the filibustered hearing to a
>close without giving Senator Specter a chance to thoroughly
>interrogate Sullivan, Glenn reminded Thompson that he would have
>to give a three-day advance notice if he wanted to continue
>questioning Sullivan. Sullivan was off the hook.
>
>This event was symptomatic of the manner in which Democrats on
>the Committee managed to obstruct and delay the progress of the
>committee until it had to close because of an imposed deadline.
>It was then that the Chinese CIA took credit. Committee Democrats
>Levin and Toricelli have both taken money from Chinese agent John
>Huang, and Senator Glenn has offered to negotiate on behalf of
>John Huang.
>
>
>STARR VS. CHINA
>
>If China thwarted the Congressional inquiry, what is China doing
>about Kenneth Starr and the other independent counsels
>investigating the White House? A lot, it seems.
>
>There are two organizations devoted to attacking Starr and
>getting negative stories about him in the U.S. media. James
>Carville's Education and Information Project and Lynn Cutler's
>Back to Business Committee. And who are listed as the
>incorporators of both committees? None other than Robert Bauer,
>Judith Corley and Holly Shadler, all of Perkins Coie.
>
>According to an interview of James Carville by the American
>Spectator, it was none other than Bill Clinton's personal lawyer
>Robert Bennett of Williams & Connolly, who advised him to seek
>legal and financial assistance for his Starr attack with Robert
>Bauer of Perkins Coie.
>
>It comes as no surprise, then, that both Carville and Cutler keep
>the donor lists for their committees a secret. But a few
>donations have leaked out anyway. Chinese bag man Johnny Chung
>has donated $25,000 to the Back to Business Committee. There is
>reason to assume that the money came directly from the Chinese
>government, since Johhny Chung has received wire transfers from
>the Bank of China, a bank owned and operated by the Chinese
>government. Johnny Chung has pled the Fifth Amendment.
>Congressional probers have also discovered that the group got
>funding from an Arkansas firm partly owned by Lippo, where John
>Huang worked.
>
>Both Carville's and Cutler's organizations have devoted their
>efforts to campaigns against Kenneth Starr, Dan Burton, and the
>Internet. The White House "Communication Stream of Conspiracy
>Commerce" report that linked critics of the White House in a
>global conspiracy was distributed briefly through the Back to
>Business web site. And Carville's web site boasts that his anti-
>Starr campaign "has generated over 450 stories on the Lexis Nexis
>database of major news sources."
>
>Was this what Senator Thompson referred to when he said
>intelligence showed Chinese agents "attempting to communicate
>Beijing's views through media channels in the United States"?
>
>One thing is clear. The U.S. mainstream media has uncritically
>disseminated the propaganda produced by these two organizations.
>
>
>WHITE HOUSE SKUNK WORKS
>
>If Democratic Senators did the bidding of China on the Senate
>Governmental Affairs Committee, are they doing the bidding of
>China in thwarting the investigation by the Independent Counsels
>as well? Consider the following:
>
>Senator Carl Levin has for over a year demanded immense
>quantities of paperwork from independent counsels who pose
>threats to President Clinton. The independent counsels have no
>doubts about what Levin is up to. "This information would go
>right into the skunk works at the White House to use against us,"
>a senior lawyer in one of the independent counsel offices told
>columnist Bob Novak last week. "But we are not intimidated."
>
>
>THE FAILURE OF THE U.S. MEDIA
>
>Why would the Chinese government thwart an inquiry into illegal
>fundraising and corruption at the White House? It is quite
>simple. Having contributed so heavily to Bill Clinton's election
>in 1992 and his re-election in 1996, it is now merely protecting
>its investment.
>
>Where is the U.S. media on this unfolding scandal? Why has nobody
>reported, much less followed up on, the shocking revelations by
>Bob Woodward and William Safire? Safire reported last week that
>the Justice Department has not even questioned John Huang, which
>it knows to be a spy. Why not?
