Playing Clinton's 
dangerous game 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chinese have greater power and control in Washington than the 
Republicans with their majority in Congress. President Bill Clinton, 
with the help of the Chinese, has built his power base to a point where 
he has nearly taken complete control. 
The reality is that Clinton controls virtually everything and everyone. 
Every federal agency, every bureaucracy, and the military are under the 
total control of Clinton. The country is run by bureaucrats, not by 
Congress, and the bureaucrats are controlled by Clinton. The Republicans 
may feel some satisfaction that they have a majority in Congress, but in 
reality that does not make a single bit of difference in relation to how 
the country is actually run. 

Clinton now has almost total control of the government based on his word 
alone. There are those who call me a right-wing wacko, a conspiracy 
theorist, and point fingers of ridicule while they laugh, but let's take 
a look at a few of the many facts involved. The details which follow are 
well-published facts, but because they are published individually it is 
difficult to see their impact on the big picture. Let's take a look at 
an illustrative portion of the big picture 

When Clinton arrived in Washington in 1993 he quickly went to work 
establishing his power base. He very cleverly and methodically replaced 
every agency head who would not bow down to his every wish. Replacements 
were selected based on loyalty, not skills and experience. If he could 
not have complete and total loyalty he would remove anyone who got in 
his way, including every federal prosecutor. They were the first to go. 

Are there such people? People with no conscience who will do as they are 
told to protect their own position? Too many. As long as they can rule 
over some little corner of the world, they will do anything to maintain 
and keep their power. What is right and wrong doesn't even enter their 
mind. All that matters is being in a position of power and keeping that 
power. Clinton is the source of their power. They are loyal to him, not 
because they believe in a particular cause or ideology, not because he's 
their buddy, but because without him they will be on the street looking 
for a real job -- or worse. 

The next step for Clinton was to make sure that each agency set in stone 
that he would have control. He would have the final word on everything. 
Executive Orders and Presidential Directives would also be enacted to 
subtly and without fanfare change the federal pecking order. 

Every agency was carefully examined by Clinton's henchmen and weaknesses 
were found -- weaknesses that would disturb the Clinton dynasty. It was 
quickly determined where modifications and changes to mission statements 
would be needed to place Clinton in complete control. 

The Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency have 
mission statements which give total control of those critical agencies 
specifically to Clinton, but other important agencies and departments of 
federal government needed change in order to come under his thumb. 

Janet Reno was appointed as Attorney General. Her unquestioning loyalty 
would bring complete control of the Department of Justice, a most 
critical requirement for complete success in the Clinton plan. Reno 
alone was not enough. Internal changes were quickly and quietly made to 
ensure that Reno's control was also complete, starting with the Director 
of the FBI and working down the chain of command from there. Get in the 
way and get brutally stepped on. Play the game and protect your job and 
your own power base. 

The FBI reports directly to the Department of Justice and the 
Intelligence Oversight Board, which in turn reports to the Department of 
Justice and the President. 

Executive Order 12863 was issued on September 17, 1993. It went 
virtually unnoticed, particularly by a Congress too caught up in 
political battles to pay attention to such things. EO 12863 revoked EO 
12537 which established the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory 
Board and also revoked EO 12334 which formed the Intelligence Oversight 
Board. Clinton did not have sufficient control and needed to juggle 
things around. 

The new executive order reorganized the Intelligence Oversight Board as 
a committee of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. The 
Intelligence Oversight Board is no longer a threat to the President, or 
anyone else unless they are a threat to Clinton. If the Intelligence 
Oversight Board discovers activities which may be against the law, or 
which violate an executive order or presidential directive, it can 
report the violation to Attorney General Reno, or not report anything at 
all based on their own agenda. They have total discretion to do as they 
wish. 

By controlling the Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Board, along 
with the National Security Council Advisor, Clinton has total 
discretionary control over what issues come before the President's 
Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. 

Who are some of these people now in charge of these critical 
intelligence organizations? 

National Security Advisor, Samuel R. Berger, was a paid lobbyist for the 
Chinese while he was a partner in the international law firm of Hogan 
and Hartson. He headed the firm's international trade group, and because 
he has not left his partnership in the firm, Berger is still receiving 
benefits, directly or indirectly, from dealings with China and Russia. 

Intelligence Oversight Board Chairman is Anthony S. Harrington. He's 
also a senior partner in the same law firm with Berger. He too is 
directly compensated from dealings with China and Russia. Chairman of 
the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, Warren B. Rudman, 
is a partner in a different international law firm, Paul, Weiss, 
Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison. They not only represent Communist China, 
they maintain an office there. Rudman continues to receive financial 
benefit from dealings with China. 

Michael R. Bromwich was a partner with Mayer, Brown, and Platt before he 
was appointed as Inspector General of the Department of Justice. That 
law firm has offices in both Communist China and Russia. Even though he 
is listed as being on leave of absence from the firm, as a partner he 
still receives financial reward based on dealings with those countries. 

Another example is the appointment of William J. Perry, first as Deputy 
Secretary of Defense and then as Secretary of Defense. It was the 
presence of Perry which helped transfer control of high technology 
exports from the Pentagon to the Department of Commerce. Previous to his 
political appointment, Perry was a computer industry executive in 
Silicon Valley. He was a vocal supporter of the removal of export 
controls. 

John M. Deutch was known to have voiced similar views, and was soon 
appointed as Director of the CIA. 

The change in policy and regulation was accomplished by executive order 
and bureaucratic regulation. Congress had no say in the matter, and paid 
little attention at the time. The change began what has resulted in 
billions of dollars of trade with Communist China. Companies and 
executives who have financially supported Clinton were and are the 
beneficiaries of this cash cow, and Communist China has been the 
recipient of technology which has put U.S. national security at risk. 

Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson is not concerned. He stated to 
broadcaster Chris Mathews that China is not a communist country. He said 
China is a friend to the U.S. and should be trusted. 

Other federal departments and agencies have had similar transitions of 
power. First with the right people in place and then restructured to 
give Clinton total control through his puppets. 

The executive orders and presidential directives used to restructure the 
executive branch and control power have also given Clinton total 
dictatorial power to create laws at will. He is rarely challenged, and 
Congress has not established a means to monitor and evaluate the 
mountain of executive orders, which continue to be issued. Some of those 
documents are classified and unavailable for public view. Reports from 
sources who have seen them indicate that Clinton has the ability to 
declare a national emergency, suspend Congress, declare martial law, and 
take total control of the country. 

These are just a few examples to illustrate the level of control that is 
maintained by Clinton using key appointments. Each of these appointments 
brings others of similar background into the chain of command below 
them. Career bureaucrats quietly sit back and keep their mouth shut in 
order to keep their jobs and benefits. Play the game and keep the power 
you've been given. 

The Department of Commerce is a good example of what Clinton can do 
without Congress, and indeed in spite of Congress. That department has 
been regarded as the dumping ground of political appointees since the 
start of the Clinton reign. Not only did he pack that department with 
his own key supporters, he transferred to Commerce the ability to 
control sensitive high technology sales to China and other countries. 
Something that was considered a vital national security interest was 
taken away from the Pentagon where it belongs and placed in the hands of 
political hacks. 

Former Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who began as a Clinton do-bee, 
conducted trade missions to China and elsewhere, which led to an FBI 
investigation. He and 53 others were about to be indicted. Sources in a 
position to know revealed that Brown had complained bitterly to Clinton 
that he would not be a sacrifice to the cause. He wanted Clinton to use 
his powers to get the indictments stopped. He firmly stated that if he 
was indicted he would no longer "play the game" and would tell all. His 
intent was to have Clinton use his power to call off the FBI 
investigation, but suddenly his plane crashed and the entire FBI 
investigation was canceled within a few hours of the crash. 

Despite the fact that Brown's body had what appeared to be a bullet hole 
in the top of his head, and even with the appearance of what could be a 
bullet in his hip area seen in a full-body x-ray, there was no 
investigation by the government into a possible assassination. Why? 
Someone else was playing the game. 

Barbara Wise worked for Brown, well down the chain of command. She was a 
secretary and worked in an area of Commerce in which she was well aware 
of the dealings of Brown, Juang, and others. She had complied files of 
her own in a vain attempt to secure greater position for herself. She 
knew all the details of how Clinton's Commerce buddies shut down the 
U.S. timber industry to open the way for Communist Chinese timber 
products to penetrate the market. She also knew all about Clinton's 
efforts to stop U.S. high compliance coal production in Utah to clear 
the way for Indonesian coal, controlled by the Communist Chinese. 

Barbara Wise was found dead in her office. She was partially clad and 
blood was evident when she was found on the floor the day after 
Thanksgiving. An effort was made by Commerce officials and others to 
portray her as a drunk and abusive to herself. Police investigated it as 
a homicide until the sudden claim that her death was by natural causes. 

Don't forget Webster Hubbell was once Assistant Attorney General before 
he was indicted by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr. Hubbell is 
well-know for his ties to the Communist Chinese, and particularly to 
John Huang. Huang was once in the Commerce Department under Ron Brown 
and has been accused of being a Chinese spy. Hubbell suddenly became a 
risk, so the ring of protection was withdrawn and he was thrown to the 
wolves. He has already spent time behind bars and is still under 
investigation on other criminal charges. 

At every level, the example was set, and the message was sent. Play the 
game or pay the consequences. Play the game properly and receive 
protection. 

William S. Daley, Secretary of Commerce, apparently knows how that 
works. Based on press reports, it appears that Daley, Clinton's 1992 
Illinois Campaign Manager, was involved in questionable activities in 
the Chicago area involving fraud, the IRS and the FBI. The legal action 
against Daley and his firm Daley and George, which dragged on from 1992 
to 1997 was suddenly dropped just one month after he was sworn in as 
Secretary of Commerce on January 30, 1997. Nice deal. 

Not surprisingly, Daley was a partner in Mayer, Brown, and Platt with 
offices in Moscow and Beijing. Daley continues to benefit financially 
from those dealings. 

Not all Clinton appointees get such favorable treatment. Break the rules 
and the penalty is swift and harsh. When you don't properly play the 
game you will find yourself set adrift with no protection from Clinton. 
In fact, the very forces which could protect you will instead come and 
get you. If you become a big enough threat you may find yourself on 
board an ill-fated flight, or you may just decide to commit suicide. 

There are now over 50 suspicious deaths of past Clinton associates. 
These are documented in my book, "Cover Up: The Art and Science of 
Political Deception," along with the names of over 40 people previously 
tied to Clinton who have been convicted of various crimes. 

The big picture is too big to cover in this limited format, but 
hopefully I have sufficiently illustrated the type of corruption which 
has now become a part of the accepted norm in Washington. Will it ever 
change? Only if enough grass roots Americans put their foot down and 
demand change and carry it through. 

If America wants to continue to be run by greedy, power-hungry 
politicians and bureaucrats with only their own best interests and 
desires to motivate them, nothing need be done. That's just what we have 
with no hope of reform because there are too many vested interests. 

If America wants to send a message to those who are in reality a form of 
organized criminals within our government, the time is now. Silence is a 
form of acceptance. The silence has gone on for too long. It is time to 
speak up -- in fact a bit of shouting would be in order. 

It is time to recruit good quality, men and women with a conscience who 
will not only run for office but win. It is time to throw the bums out, 
but that won't happen unless America wakes up. This is the time to 
recruit candidates who will run, not in third parties, but in our two 
major parties where chances are far greater that they can actually be 
elected. Now is the time to volunteer and help these good men raise the 
vast sums needed to win. Now is the time to prepare campaigns that will 
succeed. 

America needs a white knight to come charging in ready to take on the 
forces that will destroy our great nation. A white knight who can run 
for president, win, and reform the entrenched system of evil which is 
now destroying that which so many gave their lives to form. 

Is it too late? No. Can such a person be found? Certainly. The only way 
it will happen is for grass roots Americans to work hard, and in large 
numbers to first find and then support the white knight candidate who 
can drive out the evil which has taken control of our government. Don't 
wait for someone else to do the work. Get to work and be a part of the 
change which only the people can bring about. 

This commentary comes with an assignment. Homework if you will. You are 
now officially assigned to go find a white knight. Time is short, and 
there is much to do so don't delay.
