>> A Summary of the 56 Clinton Dead:
>> The Unknown and Deadly Side of
>> the Whitewater Scandal
>>
>> Despite all you have read about the so-called Whitewater affair,
>> you have never seen the whole story, or anything close to it.
>> Here, for the first time, you will see the full horror gathered
>> together thread by thread.
>> Here is what President Clinton hopes you will never
>> learn about "Whitewater." It is not just a flap over improper
>> loans on a piece of property. It is a 13-year crime spree in
>> which Clinton was guilty of:
>> Drug, Running, Massive Bank Fraud, Extortion, Non-Stop
>> Adultery, Attacks, Threats, Beatings, Coverups, Break-Ins,
>> Bribery, Thefts, Conflicts of Interest, Arson. Money Laundering,
>> Offici@l Lies, Insider Trading, Rape, Election Fraud, Obstruction
>> of Justice, Campaign Fraud, Federal Witness Tampering,
>> Destruction of Subpoenaed Documents, and Being Accessory to 56 or
>> so Murders ...
>>
>> Ron Brown and his innocent friends are only the latest
>> in a 13-year-long string of Clinton deaths.
>> In Arkansas and across the U.S.A., there are 56 dead
>> people who knew too much about Whitewater or Troopergate or
>> Cattlegate or some other Clinton scandal.
>> In some ways, I know more than they did. I spent 20
>> years in Arkansas, and I personally knew Clinton. Governor
>> Tucker, Vince Foster, Jim McDougal, David Hale, Don Tyson, Jim
>> Blair. and dozens more of that crowd.
>> Some of the dead probably died by accident. But it's
>> silly to pretend they all did. For example:
>>
>> Victim No. 1. On September 26, 1993, Luther "Jerry"
>> Parks enjoyed a nice dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Little
>> Rock.
>> On the way home, his car was forced to a stop, and he
>> was mowed down by unfriendlies with nine-millimeter semiautomatic
>> pistols.
>> The coroner pulled nine bullets from Jerry's body. I
>> believe we can safely rule out suicide on this one. And it
>> doesn't sound like your standard drive-by shooting, either. In
>> fact, witnesses claim the hit man was a former state trooper who
>> was very close to Bill Clinton.
>> Jerry was the owner of American Contract Services, which
>> supplied the guards for Clinton's presidential campaign and
>> transition headquarters. (Clinton still owed him $81,000.) So he
>> knew a lot about Clinton's comings and goings.
>> As a matter of fact, Jerry had quietly been compiling a
>> major study of Clinton's sexual affairs for about six years. Not
>> quietly enough, though. Shortly before his demise, his home was
>> broken into and the study's backup files-filled with photos and
>> names-were stolen, according to his widow, Jane ... after the
>> security alarm was skillfully cut. Nothing else was taken.
>> His big mistake: "He threatened Clinton," Jane said,
>> "saying he'd go public if he didn't get his $8 1,000." And then
>> came the end. The London Sunday Telegraph quoted Jerry's son
>> Gary, 23, stating the obvious: "...they had my father killed to
>> save Bill Clinton's political career."
>> After a long investigation, Little Rock police detective
>> Sergeant Clyde Steelman cleave his character endorsement: "The
>> Parks family aren't lying to you."
>> But unless you live in Arkansas, you probably never
>> heard about Jerry Parks. If you lived in London (or Nairobi or
>> Hong Kong) you would know more. Whitewater and other Clinton
>> scandals are a far bigger story overseas. Many foreign observers
>> feel the Whitewater coverup is the biggest one in the world in
>> fifty or sixty years.
>> Like the Watergate coverup 22 years ago. it won't work.
>> Jerry Parks made copies of his Clinton sex files, and Mrs. Parks
>> recently told me that one set was passed on to a federal law
>> enforcement agency.
>> There it awaits only the right moment to be brought into the
>> spotlight.
>> Just as in Watergate, when the scandal breaks, the facts
>> will surface-and stock investments will nosedive.
>>
>>
>> Victim No. 2. You must understand the central fact about
>> the Whitewater Development Corporation: It was not the main
>> crime.
>> Whitewater was only a pretext set up by Jim McDougal and
>> the Clintons to milk millions of dollars from the SBA. banks,
>> Arkansas Development Finance Authority. -and Madison Guaranty
>> Savings & Loan (which was later balled out by us taxpayers to the
>> tune of $65 million).
>> The Resolution Trust Corporation people eventually
>> figured out that their investigation of Madison wasn't setting
>> anywhere because it was based in Kansas City, where Clinton's
>> people stymied it. So Jon Pamell Walker, a Senior Investigation
>> Specialist in the RTC's Washington office, began a campaign to
>> get the case moved to DC.
>> Soon after, Jon was looking over a possible new
>> apartment in Lincoln Towers in Arlington, Virginia, when
>> reportedly he suddenly decided to climb over the balcony railing,
>> and jump.
>> Jon's friends, family, and co-workers all agree on one
>> fact: This man was not depressed. Maybe he was Just impulsive.
>>
>> Victim No. 3. You may remember the name Danny Ferguson.
>> He is the Arkansas patrolman who once said he brought Paula Jones
>> to Bill Clinton's hotel room.
>> Kathy. 38, his wife at the time, blabbed a lot about
>> such things. She often told friends and co-workers about how
>> Bill had gotten Danny to bring women to him and stand watch while
>> they had sex.
>> (Altogether, Bill had hundreds of women brought to him,
>> sometimes several a day. Young, pretty women pulled over for
>> speeding or whatever would be offered a choice between a jail
>> sentence or a trip to go see Bill.)
>> Part of Danny's job was to make sure that each woman was
>> ready and willing when Bill met her. Kathy told people that Bill
>> was really mad when Paula Jones wouldn't "put out." Bill hates
>> to be refused.
>> On May 10, Kathy was found dead with a pistol by her
>> right hand. A suicide, the police said. Only three problems
>> with this:
>> a. Women rarely use guns to kill themselves.
>> b. I can't find anyone who ever heard of a nurse shooting
>> herself. (Why should they? They know all the right dosages for
>> pills, and they have access to them.)
>> c. I've talked to three of the six nurses who worked
>> most closely with Kathy at Baptist Memorial in Little Rock. They
>> gave me, in no uncertain terms, a loud message to convey to you:
>> "NO WAY did Kathy Ferguson kill herself." They are irate.
>> Besides, they and two other hospital personnel carefully
>> viewed her body at the funeral home. Clearly, they agree, the
>> small bullet entry hole, which they found stuffed with cotton,
>> was behind her left ear, execution style.
>> (The autopsy falsely claimed it was in her right temple;
>> but that hole was quite large, which is typical of exit wounds.)
>> They also mention it was a standing joke among her
>> friends that the right-handed Kathy was such a total klutz with
>> her left hand that she admitted she couldn't even apply makeup
>> with it.
>> Footnote to story: About three weeks later, Danny
>> reversed his story, saying he didn't lead Paula to Clinton's room
>> after all.
>> Second footnote: Bill Shelton, Kathy's new boyfriend
>> (since her separation from Danny), was loudly critical of the
>> suicide story and complained to many people about it. Bill was
>> found dead on June 9. They're calling this a suicide, too. But
>> he also was found with a bullet entry hole behind his ear.
>> Ever hear of anyone who killed himself that way?
>> Victim No. 4. Vincent Foster. who was Clinton's counsel
>> for Whitewater, was the highest government office claim to meet
>> an untimely death since the Kennedys.
>> He could have killed himself on July 10, 1993, as
>> Clinton's first "Independent" counsel claimed. But it's
>> rather doubtful. The story line concocted by the counsel has
>> about 20 major holes in it. A few examples:
>> - Vince went out and hired two lawyers on July 19. As
>> Clinton's man in charge of covering up
>> Whitewater. he had failed badly-and could see everything was
>> about to unravel (which it began to do in
>> Arkansas the very next day). Question: Why pay for a lawyer to
>> launch a defense and then shoot yourself
>> a day later? The independent counsel ignored this.
>> After a somewhat hurried lunch in his office July 20,
>> Vince grabbed his racket and left the White House with the words,
>> "I'll be back." And then we are supposed to believe. apparently,
>> that he picked up a White House beeper, drove to his Georgetown
>> townhouse, got a gun. drove to a lonely park in Arlington. walked
>> 200 yards to a steep slope. went down into some thick bushes. sat
>> down, shot himself and then threw his glasses 13 feet away
>> through heavy brush, and wound up lying down supine and perfectly
>> straight, legs together. with arms straight down at his side, the
>> gun still in his hand, and trickles of blood running from his
>> mouth in several directions, including uphill. What's wrong with
>> this picture?
>> - Where's the bullet? None was ever found even after a
>> massive search and excavation. Could it be that the police and
>> FBI looked in the wrong place? Georize Gonzalez (the first
>> paramedic on the scene) and his boss both insisted they found
>> Foster 200 feet from the official spot. If they're r-i(2ht, then
>> why was the body moved?
>>
>> - Where are Vince's fingerprints on the gun? All the
>> prints are someone elses!
>> - Where are the skull fragments? None were ever found.
>> Normally. a .38 will blow out a 4" to 5" hole, with blood and
>> brains everywhere. Because of the mess and the noise, most
>> sophisticated hit men today repack their cartridges with a
>> half charge. This explains the tiny, one-inch hole in the back
>> of Vince's head. The counsel skipped this, too.
>> - How could the soles of Foster's shoes have remained
>> absolutely clean? That time of year, the soil in Fort Marcy
>> Park, where his body was dumped, is the stickiest. (gummiest
>> you've ever seen Ten steps, and your soles are covered with dirt
>> sparkling with flecks of mica.
>> Who is the mystery blonde whose hairs were found on
>> Vince'? And why did the counsel not mention that carpet fibers
>> and semen were found on his shorts? In this age of detective
>> movies. how could anyone think such clues unworthy of mention in
>> a serious report?
>> - The "suicide note" now has proven to be bogus! In a
>> painstaking, three-month study by Strategic Investment, a panel
>> of the three most respected forensic handwriting experts in the
>> world unanimously determined the note to be a forgery.
>> The bright yellow note, torn into 27 pieces (without
>> leaving one single fingerprint--try that!), suddenly appeared in
>> Vince's briefcase after an absence of six days.
>> During that time, the police and FBI had inspected the briefcase
>> and found it to be empty.
>> - Today, thanks to the drug trade, hit men have polished
>> the "staged suicide" to an exact science. If any sign of a
>> struggle remains, the killer has failed his task. The trick is
>> to persuade the victim he'll be OK if he cooperates and then
>> shoot suddenly. In the vile jargon of the professional assassins
>> I've had the misfortune of meeting, "Ya gotta butter up a turkey
>> before a roast 'im." To my utter amazement, neither the
>> independent -counsel nor the Senate investigators knew anything
>> about how hit men work today.
>> Seven top U.S. forensic experts have gone on record as
>> saving that the pattern of powder bums on Foster's index fingers
>> is "not consistent with suicide."
>> I could go on and on and on. The counsel quoted reports
>> even an anonymous one-from visitors to the park that day. But
>> some witnesses also saw "a menacing-looking Hispanic man" by a
>> white van with its big door open near Vince's car just before the
>> body was found. The counsel left that out.
>> - Instead of allowing Vince's office to be sealed after
>> his death, top Clinton staffers Bernie Nussbaum, Patsy Thomasson,
>> and Maggie Williams frantically rifled it for "national security
>> matters" (read: incriminating Whitewater documents) and carted
>> them off to Hillary 's closet upstairs. In a stunning show of
>> chutzpa, they even made the park police and FBI agents sit in the
>> hallway for two hours while they did it. And Nussbaum later
>> claimed it was only ten minutes! (An FBI agent disclosed to me
>> that a file was opened for obstruction of justice, but Bill had
>> it closed.
>> Why would anybody want a nice, gentle fellow like Vince
>> Foster killed and his body dumped in a park? For some excellent
>> reasons, which I detail in my book, The Presidential Mess: An
>> Emergency Guidebook for Investors.
>> Believe me. it's a stunning story, and I'd like to give
>> you a complimentary copy.
>> But the #1 reason is that Vince knew far too much and he
>> had to go because he was about to crack-and that would have ended
>> the Clinton presidency right there and then.
>> Suppose, however, it was suicide. Suppose Whitewater
>> was becoming such a horror that suicide seemed better than facing
>> the music. What then?
>> Then the only logical explanation is scenario #2, which
>> still puts Clinton in a very bad light:
>> - Vince's Whitewater coverup was coming apart. Facts
>> were popping up in the press and people were talking. For
>> instance, Clinton's partner in Whitewater, Jim McDougal, had gone
>> to Little Rock attorney and 1990 Republican gubernatorial
>> candidate Sheffield Nelson and made
>> a taped statement which I have heard, saving:
>> I could sink it [the coverup] quicker than they could
>> lie about it if I could get in a position so I wouldn't have my
>> head beaten off. And Bill knows that.
>> - So sensitive was Vince to criticism that he was still
>> bothered about the heat he was setting for his role in
>> Travelgate. In fact, the independent counsel stated that
>> those close to Vince thought that "the single greatest source of
>> his distress was the criticism he ... received following the
>> filing of seven employees from the White House Travel Office."
>> Little did they know the whole story. Vince had to keep
>> Whitewater details bottled up inside-even at home.
>> On the day Vince shot himself. he received a shocking
>> phone call from an attorney at Arkansas' Rose Law Firm saying
>> that FBI Director William Sessions was about to subpoena the
>> documents of Judge David Hale. Hale was a Clinton appointee who
>> charged that Clinton forced him to give fraudulent SBA loans of
>> millions of dollars to Clinton's friends. In the Senate
>> hearings, Clinton's people denied such a call took place, but I
>> know for a definite fact it did. And I'm backed up by the Rose
>> phone billings and Vince's phone log. Also, Sen. Christopher
>> Bond (R.-Mo.) later confirmed that the call was from "an old
>> friend" at Rose.
>> - About this time, Clinton fired his FBI Director-a step
>> so desperate that no President had ever taken it.
>> - Vince realized that the genie was out of the bottle.
>> He had confided to his brother-in-law, former congressman Beryl
>> Anthony, that he was very worried that Congress itself was about
>> to launch a criminal probe into his affairs. (In this scenario,
>> the "suicide note" was actually the "opening argument for his
>> defense" before Congress-a defense which Vince told his wife he
>> wrote on July I 1.)
>> - He was sure that in such a probe, the easy-going David
>> Hale would spill the beans and drag in Gov. Tucker, Steve Smith,
>> Madison Marketing, Castle Grande, Whitewater, Vince himself-and.
>> inevitably, Bill Clinton. He mentally added up the fines and
>> prison terms he would face for concealing Bill's crimes-many
>> of which he had taken a supporting role in. The totals were
>> horrendous. And the thought of being a central figure in
>> America's first presidential impeachment was too much for his
>> quiet mind to bear. He told his wife and sister that he was
>> thinking of resigning. (But he still couldn't let on about the
>> Whitewater crisis.)
>> NOTE:
>> In recent days, you I ve seen Foster's fears come true
>> with the conviction of Tucker and the McDougals. Now, Clinton is
>> in the extremely awkward position of claiming, "Well, my partners
>> in Whitewater Development are all convicted felons, but I'm pure
>> as the driven snow,."
>>
>> WHITEWATER CAN NO LONGER BE CALLED A REPUBLICAN
>> VENDETTA,' IT'S A FACT OF HISTORY. AS I'VE KNOWN SINCE [1983].
>> In addition, Hillary has been proven to have done the
>> billing on Campobello (see below) and written lots of checks for
>> other Whitewater ventures, which makes her guilty of perjury
>> because she denied any involvement.
>> And from my own data, I'm convinced that they also have
>> her on bank fraud, campaign fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.
>> - Vince was cracking up. Everyone around him agreed he
>> looked and sounded terrible. The Desyrel prescribed by his
>> doctor didn't help. So when the call came about Hale's subpoena,
>> he had to go home and think things over. But there, alas, he
>> could think of no way out. So he put two bullets in his
>> revolver, drove across the Potomac to the first quiet spot he
>> found, hid himself in some bushes where he could pray in
>> solitude, and pulled the trigger.
>> There. That sums up the most probable suicide scenario.
>> Unfortunately for Clinton, it's nearly as damning as the murder
>> scenario.
>> Today everyone-from Vince's family to the press to the
>> White House-professes to be baffled by his death. "How on
>> earth," they wonder, "could such a typical Washington flap as
>> Travelgate cause Vince to be so depressed?"
>> Under either scenario. the plain answer is: It didn't. The
>> thousand Whitewater crimes did.
>> Victims No. 5 & 6. Then you have the small-plane crashes, which
>> are fairly easy events to stage. Hit men commonly use any of five
>> quick simple techniques.
>> One method was used on the first two victims, C. Victor
>> Raiser II, the former finance, co-chairman of Clinton's
>> presidential campaign, and his son, Montgomery. Their plane
>> crashed in good weather near Anchorage. Alaska. on July 30,
>> 1992. I respected Raiser as a man of integrity, but he was caught
>> up in a lot of the shenanigans of the campaign although he didn't
>> like them. Eventually he soured on Clinton and thus became a
>> potential major leak and a big threat to Bill's presidency
>> Victim No. 7. Herschel Friday was another member of Raiser's
>> committee and a heck of a nice guy. His plane dropped out of
>> sight and exploded as he approached his own private landing strip
>> in Arkansas in a light drizzle on March 1, 1994. Herschel was a
>> top-notch pilot and his strip is better than those in most
>> cities. (I know because I almost had to use it once when my own
>> plane's carburetor started backfiring'.)
>> Victim No. 8. Just two days later, Dr. Ronald Rogers. a very
>> vocal dentist from Royal. Arkansas, was on his way to reveal
>> some dirt on Clinton to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, a reporter from
>> the London Sunday Telegraph. when his twin-engine Cessna crashed
>> with a full tank of gas in clear weather south of Lawton,
>> Oklahoma. His pilot had just radioed that he was having trouble
>> and needed to refuel in Lawton. (I'm 98% sure of the technique
>> that killed both Rogers and Friday; it drops your fuel gauge to
>> "empty," then cuts off your fuel when you tilt forward to
>> land-and leaves no trace of a clue for investigators.)
>> There have been six other air crash deaths of former Clinton
>> intimates and advisors, but I believe they were true accidents.
>> In fact, in the course of about 50 radio TV interviews, I've
>> talked with a number of people who blame every accident since the
>> Titanic on Clinton. This foolishness distresses me greatly
>> because it discredits the actual known murders. Yes, there are
>> likely hundreds of deaths among people connected in some remote
>> way to Clinton's scandals, but the probable murders are pretty
>> much limited to those you see in this special report and even
>> some of these could be accidents. Your complimentary copy of my
>> book, The Presidential Mess, will let you judge for yourself.
>> Victim No. 9. But Barry Seal's death was no accident. His
>> story is so exciting that Hollywood made it into a movie
>> (Double-Crossed), starring Dennis Hopper and Adrienne Barbeau.
>> Barry made about $50 million as a pilot and plane supplier in
>> Clinton's incredibly elaborate and successful drug-running
>> operation out of Mena, Arkansas.
>> Iran-Contra was conceived as a simple scheme to use the
>> Ayatollah's money to send guns to the Contra freedom fighters.
>> But from that humble, Ollie North beginning, it blossomed into
>> the great Arkansas dream. Virtually every load of Chinese AK-47s
>> (plus light machine guns, grenades, and other small ordnance)
>> taken from Mena to Nicaragua was matched by a return load of dope
>> and cash flown in from Colombia via Panama or the Cayman Islands
>> on "black flights" that Customs officials and air traffic
>> controllers were instructed to ignore.
>> According to an exhaustive, top-selling new book entitled
>> Compromised, by Terry Reed and John Cummings
>> (which I found highly HIV accurate), pilots were bringing back
>> and air-dropping- over $9 million a week in cash, which
>> was properly laundered and then went into Arkansas industries
>> owned by friends of Gov. Clinton. (Not into Clinton's pockets-he
>> didn't usually do that kind of thing except to pay off campaign
>> debts and favors.) And in case you're wondering- why Bill needed
>> his land scams when he had all that drug money available, the
>> answer is. the drug operations came later.
>> Incidentally, the money was laundered through such sterling
>> banks as BCCI. Remember them? I discussed
>> BCCI's involvement extensively with its Panamanian president.
>> Five or six of the CIA subcontractor pilots running the
>> gun-drug- loop under Barry Seal have said that Nella
>> (near Mena) was chosen as the base for training Contra soldiers
>> mainly because its terrain and foliage were so similar to
>> Nicaragua. Many local residents still recall camouflaged Latinos
>> holding maneuvers in the countryside-but they all agree it's not
>> healthy to talk about it too much.
>> Iran-Contra was an impressive operation on both ends. I
>> still remember standing on the deck of a flat-deck. flat-bottom
>> supply boat used to run guns upriver to the Contras in Nicaragua.
>> It was loaded to the gunwales with Russian-made rifles. machine
>> guns, rocket-propelled grenades, etc., in Chinese-marked boxes.
>> The captain and his partner. a German arms dealer, invited me to
>> sample the merchandise, so I pried the lids off a couple of
>> wooden cases, took out some AK-47s, and sprayed a few clips
>> around the woods. (Very nice guns, but I wasn't in the market.)
>> In case this begins to sound like a far-right hallucination.
>> you should know that some liberal groups (ever opposed to CIA
>> tricks) concur. For instance, The Wall Street Journal said on
>> June 29:
>> There is even one public plea that Special Counsel Robert
>> Fiske should investigate possible links between Mena and the
>> savings-and-loan association involved in Whitewater.
>> The plea was sounded by the Arkansas Committee. a
>> left-leaning group of former university of Arkansas students who
>> have carefully tracked the Mena affair for years.
>> I wish them luck. And good health. The Arkansas Attorney
>> General. the IRS, and the state police have been met for
>> fifteen years with "a wall of obfuscation and obstruction"
>> erected by the Clinton circle of power-which is everywhere in
>> Arkansas.
>> According to Penthouse. which is not exactly noted for being a
>> far-right magazine:
>> He [Clinton) controlled virtually all the 2,OOO handpicked
>> appointees to an array of boards and commissions that effectively
>> rule the state.... Anyone seeking to do business with the
>> state-and that included just about everybody running a
>> business-learned to expect direct solicitations by Clinton's
>> campaign finance people.
>> Polk County Prosecutor Charles Black, to his credit, once
>> even sat down with Clinton himself and pleaded for a state
>> investigation of Mena!
>> Bill said that "he would get a man on it and get back to me,"
>> Black recalls. That was in 1988. Black is still sitting by
>> his phone. (I'm sure Bill got a kick out of that interview. I
>> recall him grinning as he made some comment about "dumb Arkies"
>> one afternoon at the brokerage I owned in Harrison one of a dozen
>> or so occasions when we spent time together.)
>> But at the risk of sounding as bad as Bill. I must remind
>> you that, after all, this is Arkansas ... where:
>> - One governor before Clinton had every concrete-and-steel
>> bridge in the state insured for fire (yes. fire,). Guess who
>> owned the insurance company.
>> - Another governor, being indicted for fraud, simply canned
>> the judge and replaced him with the town drunk. Who then
>> dismissed the grand jury.
>> So just think of Bill as a traditional. Arkansas kind of
>> politician.
>> But I digress. Barry Seal was eventually arrested by the
>> Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. To get off the hook,
>> he turned state's evidence and fingered several big drug dealers.
>> He even managed to take clandestine photographs of major
>> Colombian and Panamanian figures, one of which President Reagan
>> showed proudly in a nationwide TV speech.
>> But in the end, the DEA betrayed the flamboyant Barry by
>> allowing him to be sentenced to a halfway house, where
>> a few days later he was a sitting duck for three Colombian
>> avengers with Uzi and MAC-10 submachine guns with silencers.
>> The ending wasn't pretty, but it made a hard-hitting movie.
>> Why did the DEA dump Barry? Perhaps because, as Clinton
>> observed to Terry Reed. "Seal just got too damn big for his
>> britches and that scum basically deserved to die, in my
>> opinion..."
>> I'm not saying Bill ran Iran-Contra. He didn't-not even the
>> Arkansas half of it. But five men in the Mena operation (sorry,
>> I can't reveal their names to you) have affirmed that he provided
>> their cover as governor and "rode herd" on them thoroughly the
>> Intelligence Division of the state police. Other high officials
>> helped. Why'? Because the Arkansas state bonds program (ADFA)
>> received 10% of the net profits-plus the use of 100% of the gross
>> in their banks as they laundered it. Quite a boost to the
>> economy!
>> At least that was the deal cut with Clinton. But the Mena
>> operations (code-named Centaur Rose and Jade Bridge by Reagan's
>> CIA Director Wm. Casey) finally had to be yanked from Arkansas
>> and moved to Mexico under the name Operation Screw Worm. Simple
>> reason: Bill and friends just couldn't resist putting Arkansas'
>> hand deeper into the till than they were supposed to.
>> In fact. eyewitness Reed details at length the tense meeting
>> in which William P. Barr-later President Bush's Attorney
>> General-breaks the bad news to a very angry Clinton. (Sorry, I
>> must condense the conversation greatly. You've got to read his
>> book!)
>> On a March night in 1986, they met with Reed. Oliver North,
>> and two other CIA men in a musty, poorly-lit World War II
>> ammunition bunker at Camp Robinson outside Little Rock.
>> After several sharp exchanges and traded insults. Barr said,
>> "The deal we made was to launder our money through your bond
>> business. What we didn't plan on was you ... shrinking our
>> laundry......
>> That's why we're pulling the operation out of Arkansas. It's
>> become a liability for us. We don't need live liabilities."
>> "What do ya' mean. live liabilities?" Clinton demanded.
>> "There's no such thing as a dead liability. It's an
>> oxymoron. get it? Oh, or didn't you Rhodes Scholars study things
>> like that?" Barr snapped.
>> "What! Are you threatening' us? Because if ya' are..."
>> From that point on, Barr was able to smooth things out. and
>> he concluded with the most eye-opening passage of the book:
>> You and your state have been our greatest asset. The beauty
>> of this. as you know, is that you're a Democrat. and with our
>> ability to influence both parties, this country can net beyond
>> partisan gridlock. Mr. Casey wanted me to pass on to you that
>> unless you f--- up and do something stupid, you're No. I on the
>> short list for a shot at the job you've always wanted [meaning
>> the Presidency]. That's pretty heavy stuff. Bill. So why don't
>> you help us keep a lid on this and we'll all be promoted
>> together.
>> You and guys like us are the fathers of the new government.
>> Hell. we're the new covenant.
>> An amazing statement. wasn't it? Especially for 1986.
>> Victims No. 10 & 11. Kevin Ives and Don Henry, two Bryant,
>> Arkansas, teenagers. apparently were a bit too snoopy about the
>> air drops of dope and cash they had observed in the nearby
>> countryside at night (part of the Mena operation).
>> They were found on the morning of August 23, 1987, having
>> been run over by a train. "They fell asleep on the tracks."
>> according to state medical examiner Fahmy Malak. a Clinton
>> appointee who had earned the anger of the locals by pulling such
>> stunts before.
>> (Remember when Clinton's late mother, anesthesia nurse
>> Virginia Kelley, caused the death of two patients by neglect'?
>> Malak was the one who cleared her. Malak once ruled a man with
>> four bullets in his chest to be a suicide. He even declared that
>> a decapitated man had died of "natural causes," a ruling Clinton
>> defended as a mere symptom of overwork.)
>> Malak's opinion caused a big ruckus locally. Eventually, the
>> boys' irate parents managed to get a second coroner's opinion,
>> and the official causes of death were changed to being stabbed in
>> the back and getting a crushed skull before the train came. At
>> this point...
>> Victims No. 12 through 17. ...six local people came forward
>> independently, each claiming to have some special knowledge about
>> the deaths of the boys on the track.
>> All were slain before their testimony could do any good.
>> Police involvement is suspected in most cases, but not all:
>> - Keith Coney had been slashed in the neck and was fleeing
>> for his life when his motorcycle slammed into the back of a
>> truck. "A traffic fatality," police said.
