Scams And Hypocrisy

At a certain time, while Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, drugs began to be smuggled into western Arkansas, the most remote part of the State. This smuggling was done by plane. Planes are rather difficult to conceal, so all the State Troopers were well aware of what was going on. Nevertheless, no attempt was made to stop the smuggling. Some years later, it was finally ascertained that the man who was in charge of this drug smuggling was a Mr Dan Lasater. And who was Mr Lasater? Mr Lasater was Mr Clinton’s business partner in Little Rock. He later made himself famous when he said before a Congressional Committee, “What is wrong with bringing in drugs if you don’t charge for them?” Yet Clinton did not come in for any criticism for this matter. He was not even mentioned.

In the Arkansas of the Clintons, there were a lot of bribes floating around. The Clintons accepted bribes, but they also gave bribes. There was a two-way traffic. Clinton had a bodyguard and chauffeur called L.D. Brown, who was treated as one of the family, and who was frequently consulted for advice by both Clintons. After leaving the Clintons, L.D. Brown wrote a book called “Crossfire”, which was non-political, and simply detailed his life with the Clintons. Among other things, Brown revealed that he had been Clinton’s “bag man”. One of Clinton’s methods was to give money to black ministers, who then made sure that all their black parishioners voted for Clinton. The Whitewater investigation was informed that L.D. Brown was Clinton’s “bag man”, and he was interrogated. But, of course, nothing came of it. The Clintons also accepted bribes. Brown also revealed that one money spinner was “Fund Raisers”. Under Federal laws, no one was allowed to give more than $1,000 to any political party or candidate. It was, therefore, necessary to assemble a large group of people in order to get a sizeable amount of money. Clinton found it easy to obtain a large number of donors to contribute, because they were assured that they would get their money back. One very rich backer would then give Clinton the total amount “raised”, and all the official donors would be reimbursed. Perhaps the most famous bribe was the $100,000 that Mrs Clinton received through a “Commodity Account”. It is public knowledge that Mrs Clinton put $1,000 in the Account and, in six weeks, received $100,000 back from her broker. Now, no one in the world is clever enough to be able to do that, but if there were somebody who could do that, he would be sitting on his yacht in the Mediterranean, not sitting in a small brokerage office in Little Rock, Arkansas. But the story was even worse. The records of all Hillary’s trades show that they were all in Cattle Futures. At the time, the cattle market was in the biggest bull market it had ever had. One might therefore be excused for thinking that Hillary just got lucky and rode the coat-tails of the bull market. But, in fact, all of Mrs Clinton’s trades were SHORT. In other words, she made one hundred times her money, going short in an enormous bull market. Even a small child would not believe that.

Hillary had a big love affair with Vince Foster, who was one of her law partners, and also the Clintons’ lawyer. Wild Bill also had a mistress in Little Rock, a lady called Beth Coulson, who was the only high-class woman in his life. The Clintons accepted each other’s lovers, and would often dine together. Little Rock is a small town and these things were well-known. Mrs Clinton and Vince Foster bought a cabin together in the woods near Little Rock, and would often go and spend the night there. They would also travel together, and once even went to London together. What Mrs Clinton did object to was what she called “extra-marital sex”. In particular, Wild Bill often would go cruising at night, with L.D. driving him. They would go to a bar or disco, where Bill would point out a girl that he fancied. L.D. would then go up to her and say “How would you like to dance with the Governor of Arkansas?” Most of the time the girls did want to, with L.D. watching. After some preparatory dancing, Wild Bill would take the wretched girl out to the back and have her suck his cock. Very elegant and refined behaviour. This was often discussed with L.D.

After Clinton got to Washington, things became much worse. Thirty-five of his business associates and/or political allies were indicted for fraud, and three were murdered. This was unprecedented in the Presidential history of the United States. Another crime that Clinton committed was to cover up the murder of Vince Foster, who was his lawyer and only friend. Foster’s body was found in a Washington park, lying flat, in an unnatural stiff position. He was lying on the grass several hundred yards from any pavement, yet his shoes did not have any grass or mud on them. He owned a gun, but the gun in his hand was not his own gun. Where was his own gun? His hand was around the trigger in such a contorted way that it would have been impossible to fire the gun. The bullet hole in his throat did not coincide with the gun in his hand. There were many more details, making it clear that his death could not be suicide. Did Clinton appoint the fbi to investigate the matter? No he did not. Well, did he appoint the Washington DC Police to investigate the matter? No, he did not. He appointed the Washington Park Police, whose only previous experience was breaking up canoodling couples, and who had never investigated a murder before. The poor Park Police even forgot to look for the bullet. When they went back, three weeks later, it was gone. When they went to the White House to search Foster’s office, they were not allowed in by the White House Counsel, Bernie Nussbaun, until his own minions had hoovered the office and made sure there was nothing in it derogatory to the Clintons. This became well-known. The amazing thing was that the Republicans, who had a majority in Congress, did not do anything about this. They just sat on their hands and let him get away with it. There was an uproar later, but it was too late. The committee that was formed to investigate was too futile, and the White House staff stone-walled behind Clinton. One White House secretary, who was questioned, used the phrase “I don’t remember” 178 times during her testimony.

But Clinton was not finished yet. He still had the Lewinsky scandal to come, when he was caught committing perjury. Of course, only a child would believe that Lewinsky was the only White House intern that Clinton had his hands on. She was the ugliest of the lot, and it would be impossible for Clinton not to have had contact with the more attractive ones as well. Indeed, one of them was seen buttoning her blouse as she came out of his office. Perjury is a Federal crime for which one goes to jail. A lady in Texas, who was tried about the same time as Clinton, had to go to jail for doing exactly the same thing. Clinton not only did not go to jail, but he remained President, and although he was impeached by the House of Representatives, the Senate did not ratify the impeachment. This was shocking to Europeans. It was Third World behaviour.

But the most shocking action that Clinton committed took place on his very last day in office, when he pardoned Marc Rich, the well-known fugitive. Now, Clinton was not related to Marc Rich — he was not his brother, nor his cousin. Indeed, he had never even met him. Why, therefore, would he pardon a well-known fugitive? It is perfectly obvious that Rich must have given him an enormous bribe. And yet this possibility has never been raised in America. American naïvety is amazing, and Clinton relied on it. He knew that he would get away with it.
