    Pets Killed, Tires Slashed, Late Night Phone Calls’ to Silence Bill Clinton’s Sexual

    Roger Stone: ‘Pets Killed, Tires Slashed, Late Night Phone Calls’ to Silence Bill Clinton’s Sexual Assault Victims

    AFP/Getty

    by ROBERT WILDE
    27 Sep 2015

    Long time political operative and strategist Roger Stone appeared on Breitbart News Sunday, broadcast on SiriusXM patriot radio channel 125, with Breitbart’s senior investigative political reporter Matt Boyle.

    Stone who cut his political teeth working for Richard Nixon’s infamous Committee to Re-elect the President, later campaigned for Ronald Reagan, and until recently worked for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, shared a few nuggets from his new book The Clintons’ War on Women,which he co-wrote with Robert Morrow.

    Stone told Boyle that Hillary Clinton promoting herself as an advocate for women and children is hypocrisy. The author reminded Breitbart News Sunday listeners that as recently as last week Hillary spoke about the rape issue and that raped victims should be believed.

    “Unfortunately, this doesn’t match her own history,” Stone pointed out. “She has been an enabler of rape. She has been the person to enable the serial rape and sexual assaults by her husband Bill Clinton. Some of which are known publicly: Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey.”

    Stone stated that there were “many, many others who were not known publicly.” He charges that the main stream media is protective of the Clintons and supressed the other incidents to the public.

    In The Clintons’ War on Women, Stone told Boyle that “We have laid out Hillary’s real record on women.”

    Stone accused Bill Clinton of violating the women physically and that Hillary came to his rescue and hired detectives, to gather information on the women. She then used the information to “run a terror campaign to intimidate Bill’s victims into silence.”

    According to Stone, Hillary’s motivation is clear. She does not want anything to get in the way of growing their power and wealth.

    Stone added that the book includes not only the serial rapes committed by Bill Clinton and Hillary’s cover up, but the “horiffic things” that were done to his victims. “Pets Killed. Tires slashed. Windshields Smashed in and bullets left in the front seat of cars. Late night phone calls: We know where you’re children go to school,” all of these threats were part of the Clintons intimidation tactics.

    “This is very sick stuff. It is the psychological abuse of women and Hillary is responsible for it. Women voters need to know her real record,” the political firebrand asserted.

    Ironically, Stone observes, that Hillary advocates for equal pay, but that “in no job where she was the boss did women make as much as the men.”

    “Hillary is really not a friend to women,” he insists. “That is really what this book is about.”

    Bombshell Report Details EVERY Clinton Sex Assault Victim


    By Kosar


    Roger stone and Robert Morrow are about to release a new report, and the Hillary Clinton campaign is already scared!

    The book, entitled The Clintons’ War on Women, goes into graphic detail about Bill Clinton’s decades of sexual assault and alleged rapes. This news could remind voters just how dangerous the Clintons are and spell doom for Hillary’s campaign.

    According to the authors, Clinton’s first alleged rape was Eileen Wellstone, at age 19. In England, Clinton sexually assaulted her after they met at a bar near Oxford. Bill Clinton admitted having sex with her but “claimed it was consensual.” The victim’s family didn’t want to pursue the case, and a report filed at the time by a State Department official was ignored by superiors. Apparently, the State Department didn’t want a Rhodes Scholar to have a rape charge.

    For 41 years, Hillary Clinton has worked tirelessly to discredit and destroy women like that. Since 1982, she has been hiring private detectives to look into their lives and find anything that could embarrass them. Hillary once told private detective Ivan Duda to give her the name and addresses of all of Bill’s girlfriends, so she could “get rid of all these bitches he’s seeing.”

    More than once, Hillary knew about Bill’s rapes as he was committing them:
    This is the same woman who was allegedly fully aware of Bill’s 1978 alleged rape of campaign volunteer Juanita Broaddrick in real time. As we reveal in The Clintons’ War on Women, according to former Clinton insider Larry Nichols, Hillary came running into the Clinton HQ and said, “You won’t believe what the motherf___r [Bill] just did. He tried to rape some bitch!” That blockbuster quote is just one of many things in the book that the MSM has carefully tried to keep out of your eyesight.
    Juanita Broaddrick was alleged raped so severely that he nearly tore off her upper lip, then raped her a 2nd time.

    Reportedly, Bill’s words were before he started the crime, “My God, I can do it again.”

    As Juanita described:
    As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying “we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill.” At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You said, “Everything you do for Bill.” You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering.

    Just how many Clinton sex assaults were there? Here is a list of other alleged rapes that are now coming back to haunt Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign:

    * In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the incident.

    * In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. She complained to her faculty advisor who confronted Clinton, but Clinton claimed the student ”came on” to him. The student left the school shortly after the incident. Reached at her home in Texas, the former student confirmed the incident, but declined to go on the record with her account. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and said there were other reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students;

    *Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton’s gubernatorial campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick suffered a bruised and torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape;

    * From 1978-1980, during Clinton’s first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor were aware of at least seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was “who’s next?” One former state trooper said other troopers would often escort women to the governor’s hotel room after political events, often more than one an evening;

    * Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met then-governor Clinton at a political fundraiser and shortly thereafter received an invitation to meet the governor in his hotel room. “I was escorted there by a state trooper. When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn’t even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room.”

    * Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen (from her first marriage), told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. Close friends of Ward, however, say she still maintains privately that Clinton forced himself on her.
    * Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with an $850,000 cash payment.

    * Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation’s capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington. Reached at her home last week, the former Miss James said she later learned that other women suffered the same fate at Clinton’s hands when he was in Washington during his Presidential run.

    * Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton’s leased campaign plane in 1992, says Presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself to her, grabbed her breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. A video shot on board the plane by ABC News shows an obviously inebriated Clinton with his hand between another young flight attendant’s legs. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.

    * Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.

    CNN CUTS OFF CLINTON CRITIC FOR MENTIONING HILLARY ENABLING HER SEXUAL PREDATOR HUSBAND

    Guest made the mistake of not sticking to the anti-Trump script

    Infowars.com - DECEMBER 26, 2015 725 Comments



    Don Lemon cut off a critic of Hillary and Bill Clinton mid-sentence earlier this week when he trod upon a taboo subject during an appearance on the CNN safe zone network.



    Lemon tried to steer the conversation toward remarks Donald Trump made about Hillary’s bathroom break during the last Democrat debate.

    Kurt Schlichter brought up Bill Clinton’s behavior in the White House.

    Lemon said the comparison was unfair. He also said Clinton was impeached for his lewd behavior.
    Not exactly. Clinton was impeached and subsequently acquitted of perjury and obstruction of justice.

    Bill Clinton Documentary || The Clintons Secret

    Published on Oct 25, 2015


    The Clintons Documentary || The Clintons' Secret

    This balanced documentary speaks to Clinton's friends and enemies to search for vital evidence in the Clinton scandals, from Whitewater to the infamous "mole on his butt".As this film reminds us, Bill Clinton of the USA has been accused of serial womanizing, financial wheeling and dealing, gun smuggling and even drug running. Among the defence: Betsey Wright, Clinton's Chief of Staff who supervised all Clinton's campaign funds in the 1980s. She refutes the allegations about the ailing Whitewater corporation and the funds used to help Clinton become Governor of Arkansas. But whether Clinton knew it or not, something was rotten in the State of Arkansas. One of his big campaign fund raisers, Dan Laseter, was jailed on Cocaine charges in 1986. Under Clinton, Laseter and the CIA used the Arkansas airstrip to fly in cocaine. Among the prosecution: Terry Reed, author of a book on the 'Arms for Drugs' scandal. He claims Clinton knew about the operation but turned a blind eye. Includes good archive of the President being sworn in as Governor of Arkansas, Bill and Hillary's scandal management and Bill's women and cocaine addict brother.

    SNOW JOB: THE CIA, COCAINE, AND BILL CLINTON


    Part 2: The Money Trail



    How the CIA laundered millions in drug profits from Mena and paid for Clinton's 1992 election campaign.

    by John Dee

    * * *
    In part one of this article, we examined a CIA-supervised cocaine smuggling operation based during the '80s in Mena, Arkansas. We also detailed evidence of then-Governor Clinton's role in supressing evidnce, mishandling federal funds, even blocking a congressional level investigation into the affair. While Clinton's at-least tacit role in the Mena cover-up continues to this day (he has yet to authorize any investigation into the charges), behind the scenes are highly secretive, quasi-independent elements within the US intelligence community who are handling the actual machinery. In a high level deal between the National Security Council and the Medellin cartel, millions of dollars were paid to Felix Rodriguez, the CIA's commander at El Salvador's Ilopango Air Base, and others (including Manuel Noriega) in exchange for access to the CIA pipeline for Medellin cocaine. In this conclusion, we examine the secret network which laundered the Mena drug money. We also find that these same covert bankers, with close ties to BCCI, financed Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. [It should be noted that since the publication of part one, this writer has learned that Buddy Young was appointed by Pres. Clinton to head the Dallas Regional Office of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Young was Governor Clinton's chief of security, and the man who framed Terry Reed for trying to quit the Mena operation. FEMA, of course, is the agency empowered to sieze control of the country in the event of martial law.]

    HIGH FINANCE

    There is one estimate that Barry Seal ran as much as $100 million worth of cocaine a month--$1.2 billion a year--through the Mena airbase.

    Former Mena pilot Terry Reed has testified that large sums of money were being laundered through leading Arkansas banks and bond brokers (a pattern of investment also being examined by a federal investigator just as his researches were abruptly terminated).[1] For a period, he says, satchels containing $10 million in laundered cash were airdropped weekly at the airfield. These funds did not include other secret bank arrangements.CBS News correspondant Bill Plante has said that there is trail of "tens of millions of dollars in cocaine profits [from Mena], and we don't know where it leads. It is a trail that has been blocked by the National Security Council."[2]

    But despite the efforts of the NSC, there actually is a pretty good indication of where the money went (beside's the Secret Team's pockets). Money from CIA drug smuggling operations is known to have been laundered through BCCI, a massive transnational mega-bank set up and run to launder "covert funds" for intelligence and criminal clients.[3]

    Coincidentally, BCCI has extremely deep roots in Arkansas. In fact, President Clinton has ties with some of BCCI's top shareholders. Most of the money for Clinton's 1992 campaign came from these people. They are the same people who were also raking in fortunes through companies which were supplying the Mena operation. In plain words, President Clinton was elected with money from CIA guns-and-drugs operations.

    'COMPANY' PROPERTY & BIOWARFARE

    One business in the CIA's Arkansas network was Park-on-Meter, or POM Inc. Based in Russellvile, AR its current annual revenue is estimated at $18 million.[4]

    Commercially, it produces parking meters and machine parts. Covertly, it was manufacturing untraceable custom weapons parts for the Contras and shipping them to Mena. POM had subcontracted the job from a CIA front called Iver Johnson's Firearms
    (now bankrupt), of Jacksonville, AR.[5]

    Former CIA scientist Michael Riconosciuto[6] has told reporters that he was closely involved in these covert arms operations at POM. He claims that he supervised high-tech equipment transfers to POM, and had developed software to help launder the Mena drug money.[7]
    He also says that POM manufactured external fuel tanks for C-130 transport planes.

    This would have allowed the massive cargo planes to travel the long distances to Central and South America.[8] He also claims to have worked on fuel-air explosives specifically for use in the Contra war.[9] But Riconoscuito's most disturbing allegations concern his work in developing chemical and biological weapons in a project connected to POM. He says that in 1983 the company, in conjunction with the infamous "private" police force Wackenhut and Stormont Laboratories in Woodland, CA, began production of the delivery system for the new chemical and biological warfare CBW weaponry for use in the Contra war.

    He claims that POM was to receive chemical agents from the 354th Chemical Company of the Army Reserve, located on property across from the corrugated barn housing the POM facilities, for use in small explosive devices made with the same equipment POM used to produce parking meters.[10]

    When contacted by journalist Alexander Cockburn, Stormont Labs acknowledged only "discussions" with Wackenhut about biological weapons. Wackenhut denied ever working with POM.

    POM pres. Seth Ward admitted that the company had defense contracts, but only for "re-entry nose cones for the nuclear warheads on the MX missile and nozzles for rocket engines," not CBW weapons. Ward also falsely denied that POM ever accepted any money from the ADFA.

    THE A.D.F.A.

    Park-On-Meter was the first company to receive a loan from the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA), receiving $2.85 million tax-free with low interest.

    Growing out of a program offering low-interest loans for housing construction, the ADFA was created by the state legislature at Clinton's urging in 1985.

    Its ostensible purpose was to attract capital to the state for the purpose of economic development, offering companies long-term loans financed through the sale of tax-exempt bonds.[11] The ADFA took over much of the state's bond-issuing power and gave the governor the ability "essentially to create money". The ADFA has no regulator and no legislative oversight. The governor appoints the board and has the right to approve or disapprove every bond issue. There is virtually no limit on the value of bonds that can be issued. One financial advisor described this scenario as a "prescription for abuse".[12]

    The principle bond underwriter for the ADFA was Lasater & Company, founded in 1983 by Dan Lasater. In just two years Lasater & Co. underwote $664 million in Arkansas bonds.

    A child of poverty born in Indiana, Dan Lasater made his fortune when he founded Ponderosa, a steakhouse chain that went public in 1971. He then moved to Little Rock, AR.

    Lasater had close ties with Bill Clinton, through his friendship with Clinton's mother and half-brother, Roger. By the early '80s, Lasater was known throughout Little Rock for
    his extravagant parties and fast living. In 1982 he was one of the biggest contributers to Clinton's election campaign, when he won back the governorship after a term out of office. When Lasater formed his company in 1983, the firm became a frequent underwriter of Arkansas municipal bond issues.[13] Then, in 1985 Clinton gave Lasater & Co. the ADFA plum as a quid pro quo repayment for his campaign debt.

    Terry Reed alleges in court documents and his recent book, Compromised:


    Clinton, Bush and the CIA, (NY: S.P.I. Books, 1994), that Barry Seal made deposits of cash from the Mena drug operation directly to Lasater & Co. Reed also says that Lasater introduced Seal to him once as a client of his, although Lasater's attorney denies the charge. This drug money laundering was in addition to services ADFA was providing to channel large amounts of cash to POM and other companies. Former ADFA marketing director Larry Nichols claims that no one was actually buying these bonds, that they were instead sold to out-of-state banks, two with connections to BCCI. The losses from these junk bonds were then mixed into the vortex of vanishing money in the S&L crisis.[14]

    Nichols and other witnesses state that ADFA used BCCI branches in Florida and Georgia, as well as Garfield Ridge Trust & Savings Bank in Chicago. That bank is partially owned by indicted congressman Dan Rostenkowsi.[15] Other shady deals known to be made by the ADFA included the transfer of $50 million into Fuji Bank in the Caymen Islands and using a trading account belonging to Dennis Patrick to move another $50 million in junk bonds.[16]

    Awash in drug money and good connections, Lasater became a heavy user of cocaine. The noose tightened when his friend Roger Clinton, who was then working as Lasater's driver, came under scrutiny by narcotics police. Lasater sent him to his Florida horse-farm to lie low, but to no avail. The pair were eventually arrested and indicted on drug charges.

    Lasater was charged with "social distribution" of drugs and sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison. He served only six months, until Governor Clinton pardoned him. (Lasater is now back in Little Rock and still active in business. His aptly-named Phoenix Corporation has been bidding on assets being sold off by the Resolution Trust Company. Some of these very S&Ls collapsed precisely because of Lasater & Co.'s illegal bond trading.)

    THE NAME OF THE ROSE

    POM president/co-owner Seth Ward's brother-in-law is Webster ("Webb") Hubbell, who served on POM's board during the early '80s. Later Webb Hubbell would become a partner in the Rose Law Firm, the Little Rock firm which employed Hillary Rodham Clinton and is currently at the center of the Whitewater scandal. While a partner at Rose, Hubbell served as POM's lawyer on a number of cases, including a failed claim of patent infringement.

    Hubbell co-wrote the documents which created the ADFA in 1985. He also represented Madison Savings and Loan, owned by McDougal. Later, he served on the Resolution Trust Corporation during its takeover of Madison. Hubbell neglected to inform the RTC of this conflict of interest.[17]

    Clinton appointed Hubbell as the Associate Attorney General, the number-three position in the Justice Department (although he was viewed by many as the de facto head). In December 1993 he ordered a new FBI review of the death of Danny Casolaro and the Promis software case. Only a month later Hubbell resigned under a cloud because of questions about his role in Whitewater, and a question about $1 million owned by POM to the Rose firm.[18] His resignation not only shielded him from other accusations related to Whitewater, but it also served to get POM out of the headlines.

    The names of Hubbell and the Rose law firm appear on the bond issues and loan agreement papers for the largest contributions to Clinton's presidential campaign. The banks, which extended several loans of more than $3 million, were all owned by a company named Stephens Inc., which was also a primary underwriter of ADFA bonds. Stephens Inc. is owned by one Jackson T. Stephens.

    EMPIRE

    The names of Jackson Stephens and his companies are virtually
    synonymous with the economy of Arkansas, where the family owns a large chunk of more than a dozen banks, the most exclusive hotel in Little Rock, and the building that houses Bill Clinton's Arkansas office.

    The Stephens Group[19] is at the center of a multibillion-dollar empire. This includes Stephens Inc, which is the largest brokerage firm outside of New York City. The family-owned empire includes "a maze of offshore accounts,"[20] stretching to the Middle East and Asia, with holdings that include hazardous waste incinerators in Massachusetts and Ohio, the nation's largest nursing home operator, real estate developments in the Midwest and South, oil and gas, a savings and loan in New Mexico, an insurance company, a nationwide group of manufacturing companies, and a management company for entertainers like Burt Reynolds.

    [21] Stephens Inc. has long been the major underwriter and seller of municipal bonds in Arkansas, partially handling (though not managing) more than 70% of the ADFA bonds alone.[22] It has also provided financing for firms such as Wal-Mart Stores. Last year, the company acquired the Donrey Media Group for $500 million. This company owns 53 daily newspapers, 71 non-dailies, outdoor advertising, TV broadcasting and cable television companies.


    Donrey is valued at about $950 million.[23] Thanks to Jackson's 37 year old son Warren, Stephens Inc. has investment banking offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Kansas City. Some 240 banks in 21 states, including Wells Fargo & Co. and Nations-Bank Corp. now turn to the Stephens brokerage services. According to the New York Times, "for decades he [Stephens] has maintained close ties to Presidential administrations of both political parties." In fact, Jackson Stephens' Bal Harbor condo is neighbor to Senator Bob Dole's and former Speaker of the House Thomas P. O'Neill's.[24] Stephens also has a close personal relationship with Rose senior partner William H. Kennedy 3d, as well as with Bill and Hillary Clinton. No one else raised more money for Clinton's presidential bid, one which saw his campaign manager James Carville married to the Bush campaign manager, Mary Matallan. Amidst such strange bedfellows, perhaps it should not be so surprising that Stephens had been a life-long top Republican. He was a major contributor to George Bush and part of "Team 100", a Republican group where membership required a $100,000 donation to Bush's election campaign. His second wife, Mary Anne, was the 1988 co-chairman of the Bush for President drive.[25] (When Stephens divorced Mary Anne in 1991, he succeeded in getting the court records sealed.[26]) In fact, the Stephens family disliked Clinton, consistently bankrolling candidates who ran against him as governor. Reportedly, Witt Stephens (Jackson's brother) habitually referred to Clinton as "that boy." The Stephens clan evidently had a major change of heart when it appeared that George Bush's presidency was doomed and That Boy Bill was the likeliest successor. Jackson Stephens was also the main man behind the deal which secured a huge contract to drill oil in Bahrain for George Bush's son, George Jr.


    The company, Harken Energy, never sank a well and even at the time was millions of dollars in debt. Although Harken Energy continues to lose money, Bush Jr. and the other directors of the company receive six-figure salaries and generous stock options. Stephens was able to convince the Union Bank of Switzerland to invest $25 million in Harken.[27] In 1984, the company was taken over by Alan Quasha, whose father was deeply involved in the Nugan and Bank scandal in Australia. The bank was founded and run by a team of covert operators who laundered billions in profits from CIA drug smuggling out of Southeast Asia. (See The Crimes of Patriots (Touchstone, 1987) by Jonathan Kwitny.) Bush Jr. has quite a number of companies through which he somehow makes millions of dollars even though they never make a profit. Another such company was appropriately called Arbusto Energy Co.[28] It's initial investor group included Bush family cronies like James R. Bath and the likes of Saudi financier and BCCI frontman Ghaith Pharaon, and major BCCI sharholder Khaled bin Mahfouz.

    Interestingly enough, Jackson Stephens made a fortune off of BCCI.

    BANK OF COKE & CLINTON

    Fact: of the known BCCI assets in the US--approximately $60 billion--only $1.9 billion was ever located by investigators.

    Fact: Despite pleading guilty to 31 felony counts--and the missing $58.1 billion--BCCI paid only a simple $15 million fine in the United States, in a deal offered by Attorney General Richard Thornberg in 1990. (Thornberg was succeeded by William Pelham Barr, a "retired" CIA employee.)

    And you could say Jackson Stephens had close ties to BCCI--he was the one who brokered the very arrival of BCCI in America in 1977. He is an old friend of former Carter official Bert Lance and was investment banker to Lance's National Bank of Georgia. Stephens introduced Lance to Saudi billionaire Ghaith Pharaon (who, fronting for BCCI, would later buy the National Bank of Georgia) and to BCCI founder Agha Hassan Abedi. SEC documents show that Stephens also steered Abedi to take over First American Bankshares in Washington DC.[29]


    In 1990, another BCCI investor, Abdullah Taha Bakhsh, doubled his stake in Stephens' Worthen National Bank to a $10 million share. Worthen National is a Stephens-owned bank which extended a $3 million line of credit (at a lucrative rate of interest) to Clinton's presidential campaign in January 1992. (The Stephens family itself donated $100,000 to the Clinton campaign.) Later, Worthen became the Clinton campaign's depository for $55 million in federal campaign funds.
    Last year Worthen National and Stephens Inc. were under investigation by the Federal Reserve last year for federal banking and antitrust violations. The investigation centered in part around misleading documents filed to the Fed in 1984 by William H. Kennedy 3d. Kennedy is now associate White House counsel and formerly the head of the Rose law firm.

    And when former Whitewater special prosecutor Robert Fiske showed up in Little Rock, Worthen had a mysterious fire in which important documents related to the case were lost.

    BCCI & THE CIA

    The congressional Iran-Contra committee noted that then-CIA director William Casey wanted to establish an offshore entity capable of conducting operations in furtherance of US foregin policy that was "stand-alone"-- financially independent of appropriated funds, and, in turn, congressional oversight.

    Casey got his wish. The CIA was used BCCI and a complex offshore financial system to set up its own unregulated, private, foreign policy apparatus.

    In this way, it could ignore Congress and carry out its own political objectives throughout the world.

    There is no question that BCCI was intimately involved in covertly funding the decade's most heinous secret wars. "Black funds" travelled through BCCI for the Contra war, the Iranian-Israeli payoffs, and large covert wars in Afganistan and Angola.[30]

    Since its inception in 1972, BCCI was born and bred to move billions of dollars of blood money with no one seeing it. Time magazine wrote of the bank, "Superlatives are quickly exhausted: it is the largest corporate criminal enterprise ever."

    Even enemies were apparently welcome at the trough. A 1987 intelligence report by the French security services, later supported by US Congressional findings, stated that "BCCI had commercial links with Abu Nidal and front companies set up to finance his radical Palestinian group. The report also said Kuwaiti embassy officials paid $60 million into Nidal's BCCI account in London in 1987.[31] (This would have been around the time of the first Persian Gulf "Crisis", when Kuwaiti ships were reflagged as American and escorted by US warships.) The bank also maintained "cozy relations" with Libya, Syria, Iraq, and the PLO.


    BCCI shareholder/frontman Abdul-Rouf Khalil is known to have Saudi CIA connections, and frequents the office of the CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.

    The chief attorney for BCCI's powerful legal team was Clark Clifford, a former Secretary of Defense and advisor to four presidents. His influence stretched even into the Federal Reserve. When Clifford was tried and convicted for his role in BCCI, Clinton himself pardoned him, ostensibly out of concern for the old man's health.

    Perhaps most significantly, the US Senate has investigated the role in BCCI of former Director of Central Intelligence Richard Helms. Helms aided the 1978 takeover attempt of First American Bank on behalf of BCCI Ltd, Georgia (Stephens' bank deal).[32]

    Richard Helms was the Deputy Director of (covert) Operations at the CIA in the 1960s, under Nixon. Not surprisingly, his projects included the Laos operation, which first brought together the Secret team which would later wreak such havoc in the '80s.
    Helms conducted the CIA's Chile campaign, climaxing with the assassination of Salvador Allende and the installation of Pinochet's fascist military state.
    Helms was then CIA Director in the '70s. He later served as the US Ambassador to Iran. He joined the Shah's payroll and declared himself an agent of a foreign government after retiring.[33]

    FULL SERVICE BANK

    Not surprisingly, the sprawling BCCI transnational bank network has been directly
    linked to the laundering of CIA drug money.

    John Blum, a former chief special counsel for the Senate Foreign Relations
    Committee's investigation of BCCI chaired by John Kerry, disclosed that the US Dept. of Justice "failed to act" on substantial evidence of money laundering, including a Chicago operation that dated back to 1985.[34] Blum also said that in 1988 he met BCCI employees in Florida who detailed drug-money laundering activities by the bank. He said the Senate knew about the use of BCCI by Manuel Noriega to launder large sums of cash.

    As part of the CIA drug network, Noriega received millions of dollars in kickbacks from the Medellin cartel, laundering $90 million of it through BCCI.

    His credit was such that BCCI executives routinely took him and his mistress out for extravagant nights on the town, running up tabs of $100,000.[35]

    According to Congressional testimony by Jose Blandon, the CIA had actually advised Noriega to use BCCI as his bank. They themselves were paying an additional $200,000 a year into his account there.

    BCCI's Panama branch, in the words of Time magazine, also "systematically helped Noriega loot the national treasury."[36]

    HEROIN IN THE GOLD CRESCENT

    BCCI's drug dealings stretched also into the Middle East.

    Pakistan's finance minister, Sartaj Asis, revealed that local branches of BCCI had laundered drug money for the CIA, channelled covert CIA aid to the Afghan resistance, and also managed a multi-million dollar "slush fund" for covert operations.[37]

    The CIA's Afghan effort was one of the largest of the post-WWII era.

    Coincidentally, Afghanistan and Pakistan are two of the largest producers of heroin and opium in the world. (As is the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon.) Thus they became part of the CIA's global drug supermarket.

    Even the Colombians showed up.

    In what has been described as a "typical operation", a container ship from Colombia docked at night in Karachi, Pakistan. On one particular night in April 1989, "black unit operatives" paid $100,000 in bribes to Pakistan officials and then directed the unloading of massive crates. Using cranes, the crates were put onto trucks and taken to a secure airport where they were loaded onto an unmarked 707 jet. The loading was supervised by an American CIA officer.[38]

    From Karachi the plane flew to Czechoslovakia, electronically disguised as a Pakistan International Airlines commercial flight. From Czechoslovakia the drug laden plane flew into the United States.[39]


    The network which supported these routine missions thus moved heroin from the "Golden Crescent" and cocaine from South America through Europe and into the United States. The routes closely parallel those used by the CIA since the 1950s to move heroin from the Corsican mafia. The famous French Connection was a small fragment of the huge international network set up in a deal between the CIA and gangster Lucky Luciano.

    (For a superb history of the early days of CIA drug running, see The Great Heroin Coup [South End Press, 1980] by Henrik Kruger.)

    CONCLUSION

    While Clinton is clearly a mere cog in the secret network, close examination of his friends and backers repeatedly betrays their deep connections in some of the most heinous covert operations in modern history. These include the smuggling of cocaine into the US by government officials, the theft of billions of dollars through bank and S&L fraud, top-secret bio-chemical warfare conducted against the civilian population of Nicaragua, and campaigns of terror, framing, and even assassination.

    Furthermore, there is evidence which points pretty clearly to CIA's rigging of the US election in an operation which makes the October Surprise look like a game of tiddly winks. Using drug profits and money stolen from BCCI and other corrupt banks, the CIA and its co-conspirators actually paid for the election of a man ostensibly their rival. They have gone from merely sabotaging US elections to installing their own to appear as a rival.


    The revelations of connections to the Casolaro "Octopus" are also profoundly disturbing. There are, in fact, surprising similarities between the apparently unrelated scenarios, all the way down to the fortuitous deaths of key witnesses and investigators, most of whom showa surprising propensity for dying within Treasury Dept. jurisdiction.

    This story is far from being fully told. It is this writer's opinion that the United States is amidst a silent crisis which threatens to annihilate any vestige of constitutional government, freedom, and privacy. The government's use of the Promis software means that they have had the ability to track dissident populations--within the US and abroad--to a degree previously left only to the most laughable science fiction.

    This story, and the tentacles it could only touch upon, describes a nation--the most powerful on earth--which has successfully been seized by a small army of blood thirsty pirates. It is a coup d'etat of astounding proportions and astonishing efficiency, one which begs a whole new definition of the word.

    This is a story which makes one view the world through new eyes.

    The question that remains: is Clinton a part of the Directorate, or is he himself a mere--perhaps unwitting--pawn in an incredibly cynical plan to destroy democracy as we know it this country?

    SIDEBAR TO ARTICLE


    L.J. DAVIS 'ASSAULT' A HOAX!

    In part one of this article, we reported claims by _New Republic_ journalist L.J. Davis that he was bludgeoned into unconsciousness and important papers related to his investigation of Whitewater and Mena stolen. Davis, with the help of such high-profile cheerleaders as the Wall Street Journal, claims his assault was part of a massive campaign to silence (even murder) those who might be able to expose alleged high-crimes committed by Clinton.

    But new evidence has surfaced which thoroughly discredits Davis' story. Lies of Our Times, in its June 1994 issue, reported:

    According to reporting by Richard Fricker[1] in the New York
    Observer on April 4, Davis had been drinking that night ("Off
    the Record," p. 6). The Arkansas Democrat Gazette quoted the
    bartender at Davis's hotel saying that Davis had been in the
    bar for the four hours he claimed to be face down in his room
    (Noel Oman, "Hotel Records, Writer's Claims Don't Jibe," April
    11). Far more important than Davis's sobriety, however, Davis
    himself told Fricker that the pages of his notebook were partially
    torn, not missing. "I could have done it myself when I stuffed the
    damn thing back in my shoulder bag," Davis told Fricker. Thus, even
    if Davis were assaulted, the evidence for a political motive simply doesn't exist.

    Similar tales of mysterious assaults against reporters investigating Clinton have come from the likes of Gary Lane, reporter for Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network (CBN). CBN has documented ties to intelligence and propaganda operatives of the CIA. At this writing, no further information about Lane's alleged trauma has emerged. Indeed, journalists are not the only ones involved in the Mena story with interesting friends and connections. Former ADFA employee Larry Nichols has proved to be a tireless barker of all manner of outrageous claims against Clinton, including L.J. Davis' hoaxed assault. As reported in Part 1, Nichols never officially left the CIA. It is quite possible that he is a CIA disinformation agent acting under secret orders to implicate Clinton in crimes real or imagined.

    ----
    [1] Last year, Fricker wrote an excellent article for _Wired_ magazine which detailed the Inslaw/Promis/Casolaro/Octopus story: "The INSLAW Octopus-- Software Piracy, Conspiracy, Cover-Up, Stonewalling, Covert Action: Just another decade at the Department of Justice."

    'Stop Clinton' campaign on fire'

    Strong response to theme: 'Hillary for prosecution, not president'
    12/15

    WASHINGTON – With the possibility fading of Barack Obama’s Justice Department prosecuting the inevitable Democratic Party presidential nominee, a new independent campaign to expose what it sees as Hillary Clinton’s criminal actions and prosecute her at the state level is on fire, says one of the organizers
    .
    The campaign is called the Hillary Clinton Investigative Justice Project, and it was conceived by two veteran investigative journalists who plan to take their findings to state attorneys general in jurisdictions in which the non-profit, tax-exempt Clinton Family Foundation does business.

    “The Clinton Family Foundation is effectively a criminal, money-laundering operation principally established to enrich the founders with political payoff money, including millions from foreign donors,” said Joseph Farah, founder and chief executive officer of WND. “It’s a racketeering enterprise protected by the Democratic Party dons – including the president of the United States and his attorney general.”

    Since the campaign was launched recently, hundreds of Americans have donated to the cause, says Farah.

    “It’s on fire,” he says. “I haven’t seen such enthusiasm since the campaign to dump John Boehner earlier this year. That campaign proved successful. I think this one will too.”
    Express your support in another way with this brand new bumper sticker – “Hillary for Prosecution, Not President”

    Farah and WND senior staff writer Jerome Corsi, a two-time No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, have teamed up with the express purpose of bringing the Clintons to justice. Farah and Corsi have been investigating and reporting on the Clintons for 23 years.

    The project will be funded by contributions from ordinary Americans to accomplish three goals:

    • expand the investigative reporting efforts into Hillary Clinton’s illegal activities;
    • empower prosecutors at the state level to bring charges against her;
    • prevent her from becoming the next president of the United States.

    Farah was responsible for uncovering some of the facts that led directly to Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. For his efforts, his news organization was targeted with politically motivated tax audits by the Internal Revenue Service at the direction of the Clinton White House. One of his Cabinet officers threatened donors to the organization with loss of government contracts if he continued to make contributions to Farah’s news agency. Farah’s offices were broken into. His Post Office box was burglarized. He was threatened.

    Corsi was credited with a big role in the defeat of John Kerry in his bid for the presidency in 2004. Corsi co-authored “Unfit for Command,” one of his two No. 1 New York Times bestsellers that, with the Swiftboat Campaign, made a difference in a very close race. In 2008, Corsi wrote “The Obama Nation,” the first major effort to expose the Obama agenda now all-too-familiar to the American people. His “Where’s the Birth Certificate?,” a bestseller in its own right, prompted Obama to release his disputed long-form birth certificate after stonewalling for four years.

    Corsi and Farah are working closely with other investigative reporters, judicial watchdogs, state officials and attorneys who recognize it’s not enough just to document Clinton crimes, but to prosecute them before Hillary can accept the nomination for the presidency.

    Farah and Corsi believe this effort may be the only one that can stop Hillary Clinton from winning the presidency next year.

    “The project is an effort by WND and its dedicated investigative reporting team, private investigators, judicial watchdogs, state officials and attorneys who recognize it’s not enough just to document Clinton crimes, but to bring them to the attention of prosecutors who will bring them to justice before she can even accept the nomination of the Democratic Party for the presidency of the United States,” says Corsi. “We need help to hire the private investigators needed to prove that Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with a cadre of close associates, have used the Clinton Foundation to be a personal piggybank, in complete disregard of state and federal laws that strictly prohibit what is known as ‘inurement,’ the crime of using a tax-exempt foundation to defraud charitable donors so their contributions can be diverted to personal use.”

    All it will take to close down the Clinton Foundation is one or more state attorneys general who develop the investigative proof the Clintons have violated with impunity laws regarding the filing of the audited financial statements and regulatory reports needed to prove a charitable foundation is being run honestly, Corsi adds.
    A state attorney general, armed with proof and a well-crafted criminal complaint, can get from a state judge a temporary restraining order that would shut down the Clinton Foundation, replacing the board and officers with qualified individuals appointed by the court.

    In addition to hiring private investigators, attorneys are needed to draft and file criminal complaints with attorneys general in states throughout the nation.
    Through the use of a private email server that hid her personally serving communications from the public, Hillary Clinton along with a network of co-conspirators that included Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, as well as Bill Clinton operatives Doug Band, Ira Magaziner and Sid Blumenthal, have monetized the Department of State’s trust for Clinton profit and gain, says Corsi.

    “But the time to turn the tables on the Clintons is coming very soon,” he says. “With adequate funds, we can hire attorneys around the country to bring criminal complaints against the Clinton Foundation in a growing number of states where attorneys general can work together to share information and file what ends up being a multi-state collective action.”

    Who Is Dan Lasater?




    Updated March 3, 1999 12:01 a.m. ET
    By Micah Morrison, a Journal editorial page writer.
    08/07/95
    CHICAGO -- Last week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. issued a report criticizing Little Rock's Rose Law Firm for conflicts of interest in representing the government. It was harsh on convicted felon Webster Hubbell in one case, and in another laid much responsibility on the late Vincent Foster. But it minimized the role of a third partner, Hillary Rodham Clinton, on questions about her relationship with drug convict Dan Lasater and Rose's role in suing him on behalf of the government and First American Savings & Loan of Oak Brook, a Chicago suburb.
    The FDIC didn't exactly say Mrs. Clinton had no conflict of interest, but it did say that in the First American case she billed for only two hours, reviewing some work in the absence of Mr. Foster, the lead attorney. It said Mrs. Clinton met Mr. Lasater only twice, though he had contributed $16,000 to her husband's gubernatorial campaigns and had a close friendship with Virginia Kelley, Mr. Clinton's mother, and Roger Clinton, Mr. Clinton's half brother. It said that in the end Mr. Foster got a settlement of $200,000 from Mr. Lasater, against a loss to the thrift of $361,000 -- not at all bad by the standards of bankrupt thrifts. There seems little reason to doubt that these facts are accurate, as far as they go.
    TD Yet some time probing the affairs of First American here in Chicago suggests that the FDIC's bland recitation conceals a much more interesting story. First American of Oak Brook -- not to be confused with the First American Bank in Washington illicitly owned by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International -- happened to be owned by former Illinois Gov. Dan Walker, like Mr. Lasater now an ex-con. The $361,000 figure was established in a lawsuit by Mr. Walker against Mr. Lasater for unauthorized trading of Treasury bonds. Mr. Lasater's defense was that the trades were authorized and there was no breach of fiduciary relationship. But in a broader sense, given Mr. Lasater's financial relations with First American and Gov. Walker, he may have had reason to believe he owned the bank. Court records relating to Mr. Lasater's curious trades with First American also suggest that he may have taken more than the disputed $361,000 out of the thrift. And, to connect the Illinois affair with the probe of Little Rock's Madison Guaranty, the savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater scandal being aired in congressional hearings this week, there's reason to wonder whether Mr. Lasater was doing the same thing with Madison, where he also held a trading account.
    In short, who is Dan Lasater?
    The FDIC is quite correct that he was not Hillary's friend; he was Bill's friend, and according to many Little Rock sources, partying companion. The FDIC's $16,000 in campaign contributions does not appear to include donations Mr. Lasater encouraged from associates, nor such favors as the use of the Lasater plane for campaign-related events. The FDIC says that "a full report of the investigation" will be made available to the public, but so far it has not elaborated on Mr. Lasater's other favors for the Clinton family.
    In a 1986 interview with the FBI, for example, Mr. Lasater said that he gave Roger Clinton a job as a stablehand at the governor's request; later, Roger Clinton approached Mr. Lasater for help in paying off a $20,000 cocaine debt. Mr. Lasater told the FBI that he arranged an $8,000 "loan" to help the governor's brother. Copies of FBI interviews with Mr. Lasater and his associates were obtained by the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Lasater did not responded to interview requests.
    Roger Clinton went to jail for connections to the same cocaine ring that ultimately put Mr. Lasater himself behind bars. Mr. Lasater was convicted of social distribution of cocaine and served six months; Gov. Clinton later pardoned him -- effecting his "relief from civil liabilities," as Senate Banking Committee Chairman Alfonse D'Amato (R., N.Y.) so delicately put it in hearings last week.
    Also, Mr. Lasater for almost 10 years employed Patsy Thomasson, now a top White House aide and one of the three people to visit Mr. Foster's office the night of his death. When Sen. Lauch Faircloth (R., N.C.) sought to question Ms. Thomasson about her relations with Mr. Lasater and Madison Guaranty during her Banking Committee appearance, Sens. Paul Sarbanes and Christopher Dodd objected it was beyond the "scope" of the hearings; after several exchanges, Chairman D'Amato ultimately ruled, "I'd ask the senator to withhold at this time."
    Mr. Lasater also did favors for a number of other former governors, including Dan Walker. Mr. Walker was the Democratic governor of Illinois from 1972 to 1976 and had been planning a late entry into the 1976 presidential race when a gubernatorial primary loss brought his political career to an abrupt end. Following a string of failed business ventures, Mr. Walker bought First American in 1983. The same year, Mr. Lasater sold Mr. Walker a 48-foot yacht. Mr. Lasater's partner David Collins handled the $350,000 sale, "and money was lost in the deal," Mr. Lasater told the FBI. Mr. Lasater also told the FBI that he had loaned Mr. Walker $200,000 and received stock in First American as collateral. (In the same FBI interview, Mr. Lasater said he delivered a $300,000 cash loan to a former Kentucky governor in a paper bag, and through an intermediary offered a former New Mexico governor a consulting job. At the time, Mr. Lasater owned Angel Fire, a New Mexico resort and air strip.)
    Initially, First American enjoyed spectacular growth, with assets zooming from $13 million in 1983 to more than $80 million by late 1985. News reports have attributed the growth mainly to an inflow of brokered jumbo certificates of deposit. But in 1985, Mr. Walker sued Mr. Lasater for unauthorized T-bond trading through First American. In 1986, Mr. Walker's thrift was declared insolvent and placed in conservatorship. A year later, Mr. Walker pleaded guilty to looting the thrift of nearly $1.4 million. A federal judge sentenced him to seven years in prison, castigating him for using the S&L as "a personal piggy bank."
    Mr. Walker had accused Mr. Lasater of "front-running" trades -- essentially, trading Lasater accounts "in front of" First American accounts. According to an analysis prepared by commodity trading expert Leslie Jordan for First American when it was represented by Mr. Foster, trading tickets linked to Lasater & Co. likely were doctored; "someone stuck the loser in First American's account," Ms. Jordan said in a deposition related to the case. She added that there were other "questionable trades" not listed in the First American suit and that "there may have been illegal practices that just weren't caught at the time."
    First American and another failed Illinois thrift, Home Federal Savings & Loan of Centralia, also appear to figure into the mysterious case of Dennis Patrick, a Kentucky resident who discovered millions of dollars worth of unauthorized trades being run through his Lasater & Co. account. In an interview with Mr. Patrick's lawyer, two former Lasater traders claimed that repurchase agreements related to the Patrick account had been dumped in First American and Home Federal. In 1988 the Centralia thrift also sued Lasater & Co. for unauthorized trades. Ms. Jordan, the commodity trading expert, analyzed some of the Lasater trades done for Home Federal, noting "a lot of suspect activity." In 1989, Vincent Foster advised Home Federal's management to accept a $250,000 out-of-court settlement with Mr. Lasater.
    At both thrifts, the suspect trades occurred between March and May of 1985, intersecting the spectacular fall of Bevill, Bresler & Schulman Asset Management Corp. in April. The New Jersey firm went under with $200 million in losses in an uncollateralized repurchase-agreement scandal that sent shock waves through the securities industry. The fall of Bevill is also mentioned in the interview with Lasater traders. According to bankruptcy notices filed in Chicago, both First American and Home Federal were listed as creditors of a Chicago securities firm that went under with Bevill. Another firm that did not survive was Collins Inc. of Little Rock, run by Mr. Lasater's former partner David Collins, who sold Mr. Walker the Lasater yacht at a loss.
    The biggest apparent loser in the Bevill collapse, though, was Little Rock's Worthen Bank, which held $52 million in repos with Bevill on which it had failed to secure the collateral. The Worthen repos actually represented Arkansas state funds. Little Rock's investment giant Stephens Inc. recapitalized Worthen to cover the loss, assuming a much larger stock interest and placing a Stephens executive as CEO. Initially, this positioned Stephens as a hero, but after the Clinton presidential election it became controversial in light of the law against mixing investment banking and commercial banking. After Stephens sold its interest in Worthen last March, the Federal Reserve dropped a two-year investigation, declaring the issue "moot."
    As for Mr. Lasater's relations with Madison, the thrift opened a trading account with him in 1984, but it's not known whether it was extensively used. Before Sen. Faircloth's questioning was cut off, Ms. Thomasson said her employment by Lasater involved only a short time at the bond house, and she did not know about the trading account. She did confirm, however, that Mr. Lasater was involved in Emerald Isle Resort, a Madison-financed real estate deal.
    While no evidence has emerged linking drug money to Mr. Lasater's bond business, his cocaine conviction and links to troubled thrifts have raised questions about possible money laundering activities. Last month, Greg Hitt of Dow Jones News Service reported that Resolution Trust Corp. investigators had passed documents concerning Mr. Lasater and Madison Guaranty to then-Special Counsel Robert Fiske. Mr. Hitt quoted minutes from a high-level RTC meeting in June 1994: "Dan Lasater may have been establishing depository accounts at Madison and other financial institutions and laundering drug money through them via brokered deposits and bond issues."
    Also last month, the American Spectator magazine reported the claim of an Arkansas state trooper, L.D. Brown, that when he told Gov. Clinton he'd seen drugs on flights from remote Mena airfield in western Arkansas, the governor replied, "that's Lasater's deal." While there is no way to substantiate Mr. Brown's account of the conversation, the time frame, at least, seems to fit. Barry Seal, the admitted drug smuggler with whom Mr. Brown said he flew, was active in the early to mid-1980s, and Mr. Lasater admittedly was involved with cocaine during the same time. So was Roger Clinton. In 1985, Roger Clinton was offered a deal at the end of a long drug probe centering around Mr. Lasater and his associates, including former partners George Locke, a former state senator, and David Collins. Roger Clinton pleaded guilty to reduced charges, testified against the Lasater circle -- most of whom were indicted -- and went to jail for 15 months.
    The man who cut the deal was George Proctor, a former state legislator who had been named U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Shortly after Roger Clinton's testimony, Mr. Lasater pleaded guilty to the minor social distribution charge and went briefly to prison. Mr. Proctor now heads the Justice Department's Office of International Affairs, which deals with, among other things, aspects of the BCCI case. Oddly enough, BCCI first attempted to enter the U.S. through Arkansas in the late 1970s, in a deal initially handled by Stephens Inc., which says it has had no contact with BCCI investors since 1978.
    Early 1986 must have been a tough time for Bill Clinton. His brother was in jail. Mr. Lasater was on his way to jail. Federal regulators had removed James McDougal from the board of Madison Guaranty. Mr. Clinton was planning his fifth run for governor and thinking about a bid for the presidency. His GOP rival Frank White was making his association with Mr. Lasater an issue. Into this atmosphere drifted the threat of the Walker lawsuit, which had been taken over by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp.
    FSLIC handed the Lasater suit to Hopkins & Sutter, a Chicago firm where former Gov. Walker had worked for 13 years prior to his political career. Hopkins & Sutter dismissed the previous Little Rock counsel, Hardin & Grace, and hired the Rose Law Firm; Vincent Foster took the case. Mr. Lasater hired Wright, Lindsey & Jennings -- Gov. Clinton's old firm. In less than a year, the case was settled under a seal of confidentiality, vanishing from public view. Even the fact that a settlement had been reached was put under seal, until revealed in a Chicago Tribune story last year. While the FDIC took a different view, the Tribune suggested Mrs. Clinton's participation in the suit may have constituted a "glaring conflict of interest."
    Mr. Lasater, it seems, was of great interest to the overlapping circles of law enforcement, finance and legal representation in Little Rock and beyond. If who Dan Lasater is and what he was up to remain beyond the "scope" of Congressional hearings, the hearings probably won't reveal very much.

    Bill's behaviour could be attributed to his disclosure he has a Neanderthal gene.
    Saw the discussion on TV a few weeks ago with a man that does gene testing. Goes back to 2011...

    Clinton: Hillary not surprised ‘I’m part Neanderthal’ Nov. 11, 2011 Eddie Scarry

    Every joke has some truth to it. That’s what makes them sting a little. Serving as the open for the annual Stand Up for Heroes charity event in New York on Wednesday, Bill Clinton took a shot at himself.
    From the New York Post:
    “We learned in the last few months, because of the Human Genome Project, which I spent a lot of your tax money on to finish, that . . . between 1 and 4 percent of your genome comes from our pre-human ancestors the Neanderthals. Now it didn’t surprise my wife and daughter to learn that I was part Neanderthal.”
    Oh, Bill.........
    It got worse when it was Jon Stewart’s turn at the mic.

    Herman Cain is saying, ‘The Democratic machine is setting me up,’” Stewart said. “There’s no way the Democrats are setting [Cain] up on sexual charges . . . everyone knows the Democrats don’t think sexual misconduct is grounds for excluding you from running for office.”
