>>J. Orlin Grabbe is a world class authority on banking, international finance, and
>>electronic funds transfers. Dr. Grabbe has a PHD from Harvard in economics.
>>Grabbe taught finance at the prestigious Wharton School of Economics. His 
>>book "International Financial Markets" is standard text in American universities
>>and graduate business schools. Orlin Grabbe has acted as a consultant for one
>>of the world's largest banks - Barclay's, and for the Philadelphia Stock exchange.
>>
>>So why does a wealthy businessman and credentialed scholar like J. Orlin Grabbe
>>publish a series of articles brashly and unabashedly declaring that Montana's
>>popular  Republican governor is about to be indicted for duplicity in a
>>narcotics operation linked to the Cali-Medellin cartel and FBI agents in Montana ?
>>
>>Orlin Grabbe became involved with the James Norman account of a group of CIA 
>>operatives, "The Fifth Column", associated with the use of the PROMIS software who
>>were investigating the flow of money from the drug cartel to American politicians. 
>>In private conversations Grabbe advises that illegal payoffs were received by 
>>Montana Governor Marc Racicot. The payoffs were to allow huge drug shipments 
>>through Montana from Canada. Grabbe further advises that accounts in the Norwest 
>>Bank - Montana's largest banking system had been accessed. Grabbe further advises
>>that a joint CIA/DEA investigation had solicited the Fifth Column's services.
>>
>>
>>On June 17th,1996 Orlin Grabbe published the following regarding the
>>situation in Montana in an essay "Some Observations on the Non-News",
>>     "Freeh is coming off the PR high of having ended the Freeman seige
>>     in Montana without bloodshed. But the problems in Montana aren't over.
>>     There is the little matter of FBI agents involved in drug dealing.
>>          The Montana border is now the principal point of entry of
>>     illegal drugs coming into the U.S. Montana is awash in them. A series
>>     of clandestine airfields stretches across the state. Naturally the journalists
>>     covering the Freemen picked up none of this bigger story right
>>     under their noses. Big names are involved in the drug operation,
>>     including the soon to-be- indicted governor of Montana. Another name
>>     that surfaces in the Montana operation is that of ex-president George
>>     Bush."
>>Grabbe's article spread like wildfire throughout the country and on the Internet. 
>>It came shortly after a Sofia Bulgaria intelligence journal and the fledgling
>>"Free Speech Newspaper" from Phoenix came under fire from Racicot's
>>Montana Governor's Office for publishing similar parallel reports.
>>
>>The timing of the Grabbe article also came   after the June Montana Republican 
>>primary,  when incumbent Marc Racicot had overwhelmed his rival Rob Natalson of 
>>Missoula.
>>
>>Before the elections Natalson's staff  had received copies of the Free Speech 
>>Newspaper expose article on Racicot and supporting private investigators reports 
>>and affidavits. Despite the urging of  his  staff,  Natalson refused to bring up 
>>the ethics questions which were raised.
>>
>>
>>On the days prior to the primary Free Speech Newspaper publisher Bryan Brazil
>> claims to have received frantic late night calls from candidate Racicot. The calls
>>vacillated from threats, to offers of $10,000 for information as to the identity of
>>the Bozeman attorney he believed was circulating the newspapers. Editor Ron
>>Paulson also received Racicot calls as well. The two men claim they were so 
>>intimidated that they shut down the business. Within weeks Paulson, deeply 
>>disturbed, began to drink and attempted to suicide several times.
>>
>>The Montana Governor's Office let it be known that  Mark Racicot would sue 
>>any persons posting articles on the Internet implicating him in drug traffick. 
>>The Governor obtained a suspicious friendly article published in Darby and Sidney 
>>which discredited his accusers. But confidential sources in Helena confirmed that 
>>the Governor was "deeply agitated" by the reports. This was understandable because
>>a savagely damaging report by Phoenix private investigator Mike Roe confirmed drug 
>>dealing and official misconduct by several attorneys close to Racicot in Sidney 
>>and Chinook was in fact a reality. Roe claimed his sources in the 
>>Montana Justice Department confirmed Marc Racicot spiked 
>>criminal investigations in those two small towns.
>>
>>Then again on July 17th Orlin Grabbe published another essay "The Clinton Crises"
>>which referred again to the Montana drug scandal:
>>     "As I noted in "Some Observations on the Non-News", the Mena operation has
>>      been largely shifted to Montana, (and was true in Arkansas) the state 
>>      governor has a hand in the business. In recent days Montana Republican 
>>      governor Marc Racicot has been out demanding that anyone who has implied he
>>      was in any way involved in drug dealing retract their statements. Well
>>      Mr Racicot, if I were governor I would shut my own mouth, since you will
>>      undoubtably find it a less unpleasant experience when the ton of shit I smell
>>      coming lands on your head.....Nor would it surprise anyone 
>>      to see FBI agents indicted in Montana and New Orleans for involvement in 
>>      drug trafficking. Louis Freeh, who explained the errant use of his files 
>>      as abuse of the FBI by the white house will perhaps now explain the 
>>      errant use of his agents as abuse of  the FBI by the Cali cartel."
>>A similar quote appeared days later in the August issue of Media Bypass by CIA 
>>operative Col. Charles Hayes,
>>     "No one in the press reported about the hugh influx of narcotics into that 
>>      state.{Montana} It would not surprise me nor anyone in the federal government
>>      if in the near future the Governor of Montana is indicted for complicity in 
>>      this activity."
>>As soon as the Media Bypass article hit the street Marc Racicot's lawyer contacted
>>the magazine's offices - but the publication did not retract Col Hayes' statement.
>>
>>
>>Thereafter Chicago researcher Sherman Skolnick published a report indicating 
>>President Bill Clinton had been confronted at the Whitehouse by a group of high 
>>ranking Democrats demanding that Clinton resign from office. One of the reasons 
>>cited by the controversial Skolnick was the "Montana drug scandal". In August,
>>the Skolnick report sounded goofy to almost everybody.
>>
>>
>>But in Montana, Chinook Opinion editor Mike Perry picked up on the 
>>accounts - corresponded with Grabbe, and ran two editorials raising the ethics 
>>issues again. The editorials circulated far and wide in Montana as the November
>>elections approached. Bootleg copies of the Grabbe and Skolnick articles,
>>as well as Chinook Opinion editorials , and a translation of the
>>Bulgarian Confidential article flooded the state. By late October the Skolnick
>>account and rumors of the sealed indictments handed down by grand juries in
>>Arkansas and Washington of Hillary Rodham Clinton were on national mainstream 
>>news broadcasts.
>>
>>Enough interest had been generated by the articles that Democrat Chet Blaylock 
>>had his campaign staffer Greg Conlin investigate the story. Five days prior to 
>>his death the Blaylock campaign offices contacted Grabbe's business in Reno. 
>>Chet Blaylock died unexpectedly in transit to debate Marc Racicot in Missoula. 
>>It is unclear if candidate Blaylock intended to raise the drug issues in the 
>>debates. Both President Clinton and Marc Racicot were elected by wide margins.
>>
>>After the elections Grabbe confirmed the full account of the meeting between 
>>the key Democrats and Clinton (which included the resignation demand, apparently
>>confirming the Montana drug scandal as one of the reasons). Simultaneously, much 
>>of Clinton's cabinet and closest advisors resigned. The CIA released formerly 
>>classified documents which indicated that Vince Foster had worked with 
>>super-sophisticated software designed to monitor electronic banking transfers.
>>Grabbe revealed that the enigmatic Charles Hayes was in fact the long time 
>>supervisor of Bill Clinton during the early years when Clinton was first recruited
>>to work for the CIA. The New York Post released news that an FBI agent in Bogota
>>was under investigation for having sold the full  200,000 files (including Montana
>>files) in the rival DEA database to the Cali cartel. Indictments targeting Cali
>>cartel influence of government officials and FBI agents were said to be imminent 
>>in Biloxi Mississippi. In Montana, observers remarked how Marc Racicot continued
>>to be deeply worried and withdrawn.
>>
>>If Grabbe's reports prove accurate all of Montana has been betrayed. A series of
>>drug related killings has been explained - and an explanation is had for why 
>>investigations were spiked. If our Governor is indicted and convicted of 
>>involvement or support of the drug cartel we must call for the death penalty. 
>>We must make a statement for future generations that this Montana catastrophy 
>>does not happen again. We must compensate the victems and strengthen the things 
>>that remain. If Grabbe's reports prove accurate we in Montana are at a time of 
>>sorrow, mourning and most profound anger. If Grabbe's reports prove accurate
>>as many as 35 Montana State represenatives and Senators who have previously 
>>discussed the matter are inclined to institute impeachment proceedings based
>>on the Roe Report and other documents.
