This is especially amazing when you consider that the >> Mena operation was 5,000' to 10,000 times bigger than Whitewater. >> Victim No. 18.

This is the saddest disaster of all, not >> just because it's the biggest, but because the Clinton hit team >> sacrificed 34 innocent business leaders just to whack one victim. >> There are other possible victims, like Paula Gober, Jim >> Wilhite, Stanley Heard, Steven Dickson, Timothy Sabel, William >> Barkley, Scott Reynolds, Brian Hassey, and so on. But my >> evidence about them isn't convincing, and I refuse to join those >> who call every Clinton-related death a murder. >> >> Fun & Games with Colorful Corruption >> What is convincing is just the sheer numbers of untimely >> deaths in the Clinton circle of influence-plus a long string of >> threats, attacks, beatings, break-ins, wiretaps, and other >> intimidation. For example: >> - Dennis Patrick of Kentucky has survived three attempts on >> his life so far-and is now in the federal witness protection >> program. (Hang in there, Dennis-and never forget who's in charge >> of that program!) >> He was the unwilling customer of Lasater & Company in Little >> Rock, where tens of millions of dollars were traded (read: >> laundered) in his account in 1985 and 1986. Only two problems: >> He never knew what these trades were ... and it wasn't his money! >> (Coincidentally, the trading stopped when Barry Seal was killed >> on February 19, 1986.) >> And that's not even the scary part of the story. The fact >> that may make our hair stand on end is that Dany >> Lasater is: >> - Bill Clinton's second-best friend >> - A convicted cocaine dealer >> - a noted host of lavish cocaine parties featuring very young >> women >> - the employer of Bill's brother >> - and the head of Lasater & Co., which issued all $1 billion >> of Arkansas' state bonds in the '80s (but only if each bond >> beneficiary first made a huge donation to Clinton's operations or >> put Hillary on retainer). >> It is also alleged that Lasater laundered hundreds of >> millions of drug dollars through that firm. But the day after >> Dan's release from prison only six months later, Bill pardoned >> him! Plus, while Dan was still in detention, he gave power of >> attorney to run the company to Patsy Thomasson. who was one >> of Bill's top administrative aides, and Bill continued to funnel >> all the state's bonds through the company-another $664 million >> worth! >> Lasater & Company was the major source of brokered deposits >> in Madison Guaranty S&L. >> And Patsy is now director of the White House Office of >> Administration. God help us all. >> - According to a sophisticated journal called Heterodoxy. >> journalist L.J. Davis spent a week nosing around he 14th, as he >> entered his Little Rock hotel room to some sensitive areas in >> Arkansas last February. Then on the 14th, as he entered his >> Little Rock hotel room to dress for dinner, he was knocked cold. >> When he awoke on the entry floor four hours later, his wallet was >> intact, but his notebook and skull weren't. And there was no >> furniture within failing distance to account for the >> darning-egg-size lump over his left ear. >> Three weeks later, he sent a draft of his story to The New >> Republic by modem. Three hours after that, his phone rang. A >> rich baritone voice began, "What you're doing makes Lawrence >> Walsh look like a rank amateur." (Walsh was Oliver North's >> tireless prosecutor.) >> "Who is this?" Davis demanded. >> "Seems to me, you've gotten your bell rung too many times. >> But did you hear what I just said?" >> (click) >> Says Davis now, "I used to laugh at things like this-until I >> ended up on the [expletive] floor." >> If all this sounds like tabloid trash to you. you're >> absolutely right. And there's a very good reason: The people >> behind these crimes are tabloid trash. >> Then there's the arson stuff. A nasty little blaze broke out >> in the Little Rock offices of Peat Marwick, way up in the >> fourteenth floor of Worthen Tower at midnight, January 24, 1994, >> just four days after the appointment of the first Whitewater >> investigator. It wasn't a bad fire. you see, just bad enough to >> consume the area that held their 1986 audit of Madison Guaranty. >> A former Peat Marwick executive tells me that the word came down >> from Clinton, and they were most definitely forced to destroy the >> documents. >> And remember the flap about the medical records that Bill >> refused to release? Word is, all that cocaine finally destroyed >> his nasal passages. ("Allergies," Bill says.) He spent huge >> amounts of time flying around the country with Dan Lasater in his >> cocaine-laden jet and went to numerous parties thrown by Lasater >> and others, some of which featured "blizzards of cocaine," >> according to participants. >> Brother Roger recently admitted doing six to eight grams a >> day (and being a dealer for Lasater), but Bill's usage was >> probably much less. Alas, we'll never know now. His doctor's >> office files also went up in flames. (Tsk, tsk. Those medical >> offices. You know what a firetrap they are.) >> Speaking of drugs: Sally Perdue, a former Miss Arkansas and >> popular talk show hostess, has told the London Sunday Telegraph >> that during her 1983 affair with Gov. Clinton (verified by state >> trooper L.D. Brown), Bill would usually smoke (and inhale) two or >> three ready-made marijuana joints drawn from his cigarette case >> in a typical evening. >> On one occasion he pulled out a baggie of cocaine and >> prepared a "line" right on her table. "He had all the equipment >> laid out like a real pro," she recalls. (A mid-level Democratic >> Party leader warned Sally, before a witness, that if she didn't >> keep quiet, he "couldn't guarantee what might happen" to her >> "pretty little legs" when she went out jogging.) >> She also told her stories to Sally Jessy Raphael, but in a >> rare move, the producers strangely decided not to broadcast the >> videotaped program. >> I've also talked with others who say they "got high with >> Bill" many times-including a man we call Cowboy who says he was >> Bill's personal drug supplier. (I don't doubt him.) Cowboy is now >> being held incommunicado in Leavenworth Prison by Janet Reno. >> When the time comes, they will all speak out. >> In fact, the main problem may be half of Arkansas trying to get >> their names in the headlines! >> - For a change of pace. here's an incident that's >> non-violent-but does Includes the President himself. >> Little Rock attorney Cliff Jackson, an acquaintance of Bill's >> from his Oxford days. was approached in Jul 1993, by Lam >> Patterson and Roger Perry, two former members of Bill's Arkansas >> security detail. They wanted to discuss blowing the whistle on >> his sex escapades. (Other troopers backed up their stories.) >> As told to New American magazine, Jackson was discussion >> their stories on the phone in August with another attorney, Lynn >> Davis (not related to the above Davis), when... >> ... he became suspicious that the phone had been tapped. He >> suggested to Davis that they meet in a nearby restaurant. "'Me >> whole time we were there. this suspicious-looking guy kept his >> eve on us," Jackson recalls. "After we left, we were followed by >> this dark Suburban with darkened windows and a Texas license >> plate." Davis noted the vehicle's license plate number and ran a >> check on it: no such license number was listed. >> You've heard of unlisted phone numbers? Welcome to the >> phantom surveillance world of unlisted license plates! >> Just a few days later, the troopers received phone calls from >> both Clinton and Buddy Youniz, former head of Gov. Clinton's >> security detail. You can hear the borderline tone of Young's >> calls in this sample from his tense call to Roger Perry, as he >> reported it: >> I represent the President of the United States. >> Why do you want to destroy him over this?...This is not a threat, >> but I wanted you to know that your own actions could bring about >> dire consequences. >> Clinton's calls were no big, secret, either. For instance, >> journalist Gwen Ifill noted in the New York Times, It rums out >> that some of the calls that were overworking the White House >> switchboard operators [in the fall of '93] were going not to >> Capitol Hill but to Arkansas state troopers [to discuss] >> potentially embarrassing- charges about his marital fidelity. >> The troopers related that Bill asked about the pending >> allegations and offered them plush jobs. I think what he wanted >> most was the kind of loyal silence and amnesia he sets from >> people like Buddy Youngs whom he appointed to a $93,000-a-year >> FEMA job (not a bad promotion for a cop). >> Indeed. there was a lot to be silent about. In addition to >> numerous one-night ladies. Bill had long term affairs with six. >> One was a real bell-ringer: The Los Angeles Times sifted through >> thousands of pastes of state phone bills and found 59 calls to >> her. including eleven on July 16, 1989. On one government trip. >> he talked to her from his hotel room from 1:23 A.M. to 2:57 A.M., >> then was back on the phone with her at that morning. >> Bill's fallback defense is always that. as he claimed on >> National Public Radio. "The only relevant questions are >> questions of whether I abused my office. and the answer is no. >> Well. What do you say? >> By far the unluckiest guy in Arkansas is lawyer Gary Johnson, >> 53. who was peacefully living at Quapaw Towers in Little Rock >> when Gennifer Flowers moved in next door to him. >> Now. Clinton denied on 60 Minutes that he ever visited >> Gennifer. But Gary had a home security system that included a >> video camera pointed at his door. Unfortunately, it also covered >> Gennifer's door and after awhile he had several nice visits on >> tape. showing Bill letting himself in with his own key. >> Either Bill finally noticed the camera. or the grapevine told >> Bill's aides about it. because on June 26, 1992, three weeks >> before the Democratic nomination, Gary got a loud knock at the >> door. It was three husky. short-haired state trooper types, and >> they slugged him as they barged in, demanding, the tape. >> Gary promptly gave it to them, but they continued punching >> him. breaking both his elbows, perforating his bladder, rupturing >> his spleen so badly that doctors had to remove it. beating him >> unconscious, and leaving him to die. >> Now, here's a good question for you: Do you think Bill >> Clinton actually picked up a phone and initiated this attack? >> And here"s a better question: What difference does it make? >> For obvious reasons of liberal loyalty, no one in the major >> media wants to stick his neck out and be the first to do a major >> piece that pins all these murders and attacks on the President of >> the United States. >> But sooner or later, the dam will break. The weight and >> scope of the crimes are just too massive. >> Even if only I half these incidents turn out to be accidents >> or true suicides, Bill will find it Impossible to wiggle out of >> being implicated in the rest. When some indicted hit man or >> functionary sees the evidence piling up against him, he will sing >> Re a sparrow to save his own tail feathers. And you will know >> all the facts before the tidal wave hits-if you'll accept a free >> copy of my book. >> Remember, it took a year for Watergate to become media fodder >> after its discovery. But when it did, the crisis of confidence >> in Nixon (on top of an oil crisis) rattled the stock market to >> its foundations, and U.S. shareholders lost almost half of their >> money in the biggest drop in 40 years.

Pay attention, because you've never heard this before. >> A. Real estate developing is more fun when you can borrow all >> your capital without having to pay it back .. or even sell any >> land. So to get started, you need two friends: one an appraiser, >> one a banker. >> B. Next, you find some dirt-cheap dirt. Anywhere in the. >> boondocks will do. In the Whitewater case, it was 230 acres of >> land along the White River for about $90,000. >> (Some housing tract! It was fifty miles to the nearest grocery >> store.) >> C. Then you get your appraiser friend to do a bloated >> appraisal. Hey, what are friends for? Let's say he pegs it at >> $150,000. >> D. You go to the bank and get the usual 80% loan. You now >> have $120,000, so you pay off the land, and you still have >> $30,000 in your pocket. You're on a roll. >> E. You pay $5,000 to subdivide it and bulldoze in a few >> roads. (Or if you know the ropes. you get the state to do it, as >> Bill did to get a $150,000, two-mile access road.) >> F. Voila! You now are the proud owner of a partly-developed >> luxury estate community. So you call up your appraiser friend >> again. and he re-evaluates it at a cool $400.000. >> G. You hustle back to the bank and get a new 80% loan based >> on the new value. (Nothing out of line so far. An 80% loan is >> standard, right?) >> H. You draw up plans for some fine houses (which will never be >> built.) >> I. You get a new appraisal. >> J. You get a new loan. >> K. You make two or three phony homesite sales to friends. You >> shuffle the funds around among your shell corporations and bounce >> it back to your friends-plus a little extra for their help. >> L. You get a new appraisal. >> M. You get a new loan. >> N. You do a "land flip," selling the whole thing to Company X >> for $800,000, which sells it to Company Y for a million, which >> sells it back to you for $1.25 million. >> (AN these companies are your friends.) And yes, this kind of >> thing did happen in Whitewater and Madison. In fact. Whitewater >> figures David Hale and Dean Paul once flipped Castle Grande back >> and forth from $200,000 to $825,000 in one day! >> >> 0. You get a new appraisal. >> P. You get a new loan. >> Q. Finally, your development corporation declares bankruptcy, >> and the bank has to eat your loans because the money is all gone, >> and since the record-keeping is so poor, nobody knows where >> it went. >> But weep not for the bankers. You pay them nicely-perhaps a >> third of the $2 to $3 million you skim off. Weep for the >> taxpayer who bails out their banks. >> Which is to say, in the case of Whitewater, weep for >> yourself. >> >> Does This Actually Work? >> Whitewater was just the first of a series, like a pilot for >> a sitcom. Using Whitewater as a prop, Bill and his partner Jim >> McDougal milked-by my rough estimate--million dollars from the >> SBA and at least five or six banks and S&Ls, starting with the >> bank of Kingston. >> But their later ventures, bringing in Steve Smith and >> recently convicted ex-Governor Jim Guy Tucker, did even better. >> Campobello started with about $150,000 in property and squeezed >> over $4 million in loans from banks in about two years. Castle >> Grande began with $75,000 worth of swamp land and cleared over $3 >> million. It never built anything. The only human artifacts on >> it today are a few old refrigerators and mattresses. >> >> Why do I have information you haven It seen before? Because my >> firm had $10 Million in Madison Guaranty S&L and I was thinking >> of buying the Bank of Kingston. (I was already worth millions by >> that time.) When I saw Kingston's financial statement, however, I >> ran like a scalded cat. >> And Madison was worse. You didn't have to be a Philadelphia >> CPA to spot their money laundering, dead real estate liabilities >> proudly listed as assets. huge amounts of 24-hour deposits from >> brokers, and $17 million in under loans. It was a nightmare. >> >> Whitewater Development Corp. had at least an appearance of >> sincerity. It even had TV commercials, starring Jim's striking >> young wife, Susan, in hot pants, riding a horse. Another one >> showed her behind the wheel of Bill's restored '67 Mustang. A >> new commercial would have to show her in prison stripes. >> But after Whitewater, the deals began dropping their frills >> like a hooker in a hurry to get things over with. The RTC >> criminal referral that Bill suppressed during his presidential >> campaign cites such later corporations as Tucker-Smith-McDougal, >> Smith-Tucker-McDougal, and Smith-McDougal. Catchy, eh'? If it >> were me, I would have called them Son of Whitewater, >> Whitewatergate, and Whitewater & Ponzi, L.P. >> >> Stop Me If You've Heard This One >> The biggest joke in all of Whitewater is Hillary's claim that she >> was just a passive investor. >> The best comment I've seen on this is by Martin Gross, author >> of The Great Whitewater Fiasco, who commented on the fate of >> Whitewater Lot 13: >> I have a copy of the deed.

She went to bankruptcy court. rebought >> it for $8.000. resold it for $27,000. And they say she's >> passive! I say if she was any more active. she'd have been >> frenetic. >> >> Short Report >> On their 1979 income tax, Hillary valued Bill's used >> undershorts--donated to charity at the end of their >> action-studded tour of duty-at two dollars a pair. >> Plainly, we are dealing here with a couple that gives loving >> attention to detail in matters of deductions. >> As you may recall, however, Clinton has proclaimed over and >> over that he simply "forgot" to deduct the S68,900 he claims he >> lost on Whitewater. Commentators have been mystified by the >> paradox. >> But it's no mystery to me. The reason is obvious: Bill >> didn't deduct the $68,900 because he didn't lose a dime on >> Whitewater, and he didn't want to do time for tax fraud. Period. >> Jim McDougal put up all the money except for $500-and Bill >> borrowed even that. >> But weep not for Jim. Not only was he Bill's partner in >> Whitewater, but he owned Madison Guaranty S&L, which was the >> designated milk cow that provided most of the inflated loans. >> Weep instead for the taxpayers-like you and me-who picked up the >> $66 million tab when Madison folded. >> >> The Paperless Office Is Pioneered by the Rose Law Firm >> Will Bill and Hillary go to jail for masterminding all the land >> deals that fall under the label Whitewater? I expect they >> will-not because of existing documents, but because of the >> testimony of subpoenaed people. >> The few remaining documents will play a supporting role, but >> frankly, friend, there aren't many left. According to grand jury >> testimony: On February 3, 1994, right after the appointment of >> the special counsel for Whitewater, the nice folks at the Rose >> Law Firm fired up their high-speed Ollie-o-Matic paper shredder >> and ordered courier Jeremy Hedges to slice 'n dice his way into >> the history books by destroying whitewater documents. As far as >> anyone knows, Rose now has no more Whitewater records than you >> do. >> Actually, a lot of the usual documents were never created in >> the first place. For instance, there was no written partnership >> agreement (don't try this at home). No transactions were written >> up, even though Clinton's real estate agent says there were >> $300,000 in sales. No deeds were ever recorded. And if any >> interest was paid on bank loans, the payment checks are missing. >> Plus, after Whitewater, Bill got very smart and kept his name >> completely out of every subsequent deal he cut. That's what has >> vitiated these tedious inquiries of Sen. D'Amato. >> But the Whitewater monies, probably several million, >> ricocheted from shell company to shell company like the >> basketball in a Harlem Globetrotters warmup drill. and every >> dollar wound up in the proper pocket. Beneficiaries included >> many of the biggest names in Arkansas-like Gov. Tucker, Seth >> Ward, and some very powerful executives from outfits like >> Wal-Mart and Tyson's Chicken-Clinton campaign backers all. >> (Campaign records for 1982 and 1984, the two most suspicious >> years, have also been studiously shredded.) >> And Bill, who entered public office with nothing but debts, >> and who never made over $35,000 a year as ,governor, is now worth >> about four to five million. A real rags-to-riches, American >> success story, isn't it? Kind of puts a lump in your throat. >> But there's one other reason for Bill's success. In a word, >> Hillary. Prepare to be shocked as you learn... >> >> Why the Feds Settled for $1 Million on $60 Million in Debts >> >> You'll find this one hard to believe, so read carefully. >> Item: When Madison Guaranty folded. it was somewhere >> between $47 and $68 million ' the hole.

OK. Now, the RTC lawsuit sought $60 million >> from Madison's debtors. But here's what happened: >> 1. Hillary negotiated the RTC down from $60 million to $1 >> million. What a talker' >> 2. Hillary then got the RTC to forgive the $600.000 debt >> Seth >> Ward owed the RTC@very penny of it-thus leaving the RTC with >> $400,000. >> 3. But wait! Hillary did these two deeds as the counsel >> for the RTC, not Madison. Incredible as it sounds to those of us >> who have to live in the real world, Hillary got herself hired by >> the RTC, and in that position. from the Government side, she >> talked them down to $1 million. >> 4. Her fee for the RTC job was (pure coincidence) >> $400,000. Which left the government with $400,000 minus >> $400,000 ... or in technical accounting terms, zippo. >> 5. And who do you suppose was the mastermind who conned >> the RTC into hiring Madison's own Hillary to prosecute Madison? >> None other than the late Vince Foster! When he made his pitch to >> the RTC, he, neglected to tell them about Hillary's retainer with >> Madison. In fact, he even wrote them a letter stating that the >> Rose Law Finn didn't represent thrifts! >> Vince and Hillary were, by the way, very, uh, close. Not >> only were they partners at Rose. but there's no shortage of >> people who saw them hugging and smooching in public. Arkansas >> troopers say that when Bill took a trip on state business, Vince >> was often at the mansion gates within minutes-and would stay till >> the wee hours.
