Clinton Gets Pass on 9-11, or They Went That'a Way

The staffer said, Well, we can’t take the risk that he’s known to be seeing an expert on lying. Ekman rather liked Clinton, and wanted Clinton’s ‘trademark expression,’ to have been no more than a meaningless facial tic.

Clintons Get Pass on 9-11, or They Went That'a Way

I began writing about my experience with CSU Monterey Bay (University of Bill Clinton) years ago, but while perusing my sources these facts jumped out at me, as if for the first time. I believed the presence of the Middle Eastern flight students domiciled on Fort Ord between 1996 and 2001, to be public knowledge. The Clinton Administration, however, has apparently obfuscated this information. The following explains how these students came to be on the former fort, and includes an excerpt from a school document, in which the school’s politically appointed president corroborates their presence. I moved to Fort Ord to attend the “model base closure,” and resided on campus from August 1995 to July 1999. I knew that Middle Eastern flight students also resided on the fort during the summer months because I saw them, and CSUMB students were recruited, via an electronic open forum, to accommodate their stay.

Although Bill Clinton dedicated CSUMB August 1995, it occurred to me only recently, that the would-be pilots came to Fort Ord at the behest of the Clintons. Those otherwise unaffiliated with CSUMB would be ineligible for university housing. In other words, teenage, Arab flight students, couldn’t just rent anything on Fort Ord. Without knowing CSUMB’s “skunk works” agenda to “reform higher education in America,” conceived at George Washington University -- and the affiliation between The Clinton Administration, education, and Arab causes -- it didn’t make sense. Yet, Hillary Clinton openly held up a sign proclaiming “He [George Bush] Knew.”

Before the 9-11 investigation closes, it appears that few, besides the Clintons, know that sixty plus pilots of Middle Eastern origin may be wholly unaccounted for -- or that The Clinton Administration has any connection to the flight students trained between 1996 and 2001, at the Monterey International Airport, while wards of CSUMB President Smith (please see excerpt from his early document). The underlined passage refers to the Middle Eastern flight students, the length of their training course -- time enough to familiarize themselves with US airport protocols, etc. -- while the remainder of the report goes on to record other aspects of the West Coast “experiment.” According to Peter P. Smith, “The snapshot becomes informed by the historical underpinnings and legacies of the awakenings and beginnings of this endeavor.”

Excerpt: 25 page, California State University Monterey Bay internal report. Author: former congressman (R.Vt.), Lt. Governor (Vt.), Clinton selectee, and founding President Smith. Att. paragraph 5, lines 3 through 9.

... In between course scheduling for the upcoming Fall semester, curriculum development, CPEC [California Postsecondary Education Commission] approval for majors and an ongoing series of workshops on outcome-based education and assessment, faculty and staff prepared for a modest ceremony to mark the end of CSUMB’s first academic year. Twenty-four teacher credentials were to be issued in the presence of members of the campus community and over 250 family members and friends of the recipients.

Despite a commitment to year-round education, the administration and the faculty decided not to offer summer classes this first year to allow for renewal and ongoing university-wide planning, recruitment and the development of a formal governance structure. The Academic Senate Organizing Committee, formed earlier in the year, set about the work of drafting a constitution and creating a ratification process. Meetings among ASOC and the President and the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs occurred throughout the summer.

The rush to renovate two new residence halls and additional office and classroom space continued. Another round of federally allocated EDA funds for the renovation and build-out of campus facilities was anticipated. Before it was in hand, the $14 million would be held hostage to the discrimination complaints of local minority contractors. By Fall 1996, the issues would be mediated and the funds would be released.

During the early summer there was a reorganization of Residential and Dining Services that afforded the Director of Housing the opportunity to take a one-year staff development leave. Housing facilities and operations became a separate unit as did residential learning. Preparations and planning for year two were well under way as the summer unfolded.

The Fort Ord Alumni Association, a group of former Fort Ord military personnel, is established by the Office for Institutional Advancement and becomes the largest alumni association in the world [Fort Ord’s former servicemen now serve as alumni.] The University provided housing and dining services for its first group of foreign students from the United Arab Emirates. They paid for the rehabilitation of the housing facilities they inhabited and used a nearby airport during a six-week flight training course. Members of the campus community questioned their presence as a viable, educational endeavor. Cultures clashed when the group of 15-19 year old males encountered the female students employed at the dining commons. The venture will eventually succeed and a new group of students will return during the summer of 1997.

A vivid reminder of the work still to be done washed over the campus when a team of accreditation evaluators visited at the end of May 1996, to plan and direct some 35 faculty and staff in preparation for a November 1997 accreditation visit. A non-traditional thematic model for self-study was formally launched and would be approved by WASC [Western Association of Schools and Colleges - a “same sex” accrediting agency] in December 1996. An Interim Director for Institutional Research was hired to initiate baseline data collection on students and propose a planning orientation in tandem with the self-study work. A full-time Director for the Accreditation Self-Study was also hired [Simply put, self-study means self-accredited].

The President directed the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs to convene a Student Services Task Force to address the recurring issues of housing, advising, child-care, and declining student morale. A cross-functional team of faculty, staff and students digs into what proved to be a difficult and change-laden process. The final report with recommendations would be issued in October 1996. Budget deliberations continued throughout the summer. The search for the Vice President for Academic Affairs was well under way and over the summer four candidates would emerge and meet the campus community. The frontrunner [sic] would accept the offer and join the CSUMB community in October 1996. [Dr. B. Dell Felder came from the University of Texas, and as it turned out -- she was an FOB, “friend of Bill’s.”] At the same time Student Services would be reorganized from a Center to a ‘division’ and the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs would be appointed Vice President for Student Affairs.

With this reorganization, the Dean of the Center for Residential Learning, Wellness and Student Services resigned. [Actually, Dean Mary Ellen Ashley caused upward of $73.000 to “disappear,” and she took one year off with pay to explore career options. Ms. Ashley’s personal assistant and romantic interest, Ms. Jenais Brodie, had falsified her resume. Brodie, like many of Smith’s “culturally diverse, highly-respected faculty and staff,” had lied about her credentials. Ms. Ashley and Ms. Brodie, both decided to take an “administrative position out of state,” but not before Ms. Brodie was also provided housing and paid leave for one full year -- while she tried unsuccessfully to complete her Master’s Degree off-campus.] The change brought a need to clarify and reassess the focus and direction of the unit. The new Vice President directed his efforts to residential learning, team-building and the ongoing development of a formal set of priorities at the Cabinet level. ‘Students First’ continued to be the institutional mantra.

‘Transformation,’ the theme for the second year of operation, revealed what had occurred and what remains for the successful future of CSUMB. It suggests a process and an end product. It suggests simultaneous realities, stability and change, innovation and renewal and above all, it suggests learning. By the end of its first year of operation, CSUMB had been converted from the largest military base in the nation [acreage wise] to the 21st campus in the CSU. Its planning and infrastructure began to emerge [the acreage had been used by both the Army and the Navy during the 20th Century for target practice. Unbeknownst to students, they would live on the nation’s third largest Super Find site], along with its accomplishments and growth ... / end excerpt.

News Item: 02 February 2004, Los Angeles, Calif. -- Superior Court Judge Audrey Collins, ruled that it is not illegal to aid or abet terrorists. Judge Collins (a Clinton appointee), issued the blanket invalidation of existing law and legislated in effect, that one may legally help to train Al Qaeda members. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling would also exonerate all, who helped train the Al Qaeda air force at Fort Ord of liability. Clinton Defense Secretary Les Aspen, slated Fort Ord for base closure and handed it off to the US Department of Education, who in turn handed off to CPEC, The CSU, and Leon Panetta. The “model base conversion,” became the University of Bill Clinton. And Clinton White House chief of staff, 17h District congressman (D.Cal.), paid education adviser, and CSUMB “patron saint” -- director of the Panetta Institute for Public Policy -- Leon Panetta, built his (publicly funded) political institute on Fort Ord.

Leon Panetta advocated for the rights of the Al Qaeda members held at Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, on both Fox and CNN -- and the 9th Circuit ruled favorably on those sentiments as well. Unlike the other Middle Eastern flight students, Fort Ord’s would-be pilots were domiciled through the auspices of Hillary Clinton. And, Bill O’Reilly wondered aloud on The O’Reilly Factor, why the junior senator from New York, attended none of the funerals for the victims of 9-11. The Clintons had chosen Fort Ord, as a bold venue to “reform higher education in America,” in concert with a “skunk works” -- a place of adolescent assumption that the past does not exist, and the present needs only your guiding hand to create a glorious future -- conceived by Peter P. Smith (then) Dean of the School of Human Development and Education, George Washington University. Hillary Clinton’s vision for remodeling civilization had, in fact, all the vaulting ambition, didactic moralizing, and intellectual incoherence of Peter P. Smith’s keynote address.

The Clinton Administration was committed to the idea, that most terrorists were misunderstood, had legitimate grievances, and could be appeased. Fort Ord became a haven for the very threats Bill Clinton, Leon Panetta, and Peter P. Smith had sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect against -- enemies both foreign and domestic. From 1996 to 2001, The Clinton Administration, in their vision to remake the West, may have helped train upward of sixty Al Qaeda members. I observed a group of 10 to 12 Middle Eastern males as they walked across the library parking lot. And given the ages of the twenty, 9-11 hijackers, no real Al Qaeda air wing could have existed before 1996. Peter P. Smith says he graduated 399 students from 1997 to 2003. All things being equal, that’s 57 graduates per year for seven years -- 28.5 students at its secular ceremony, and 28.5 students at its separate La Raza ceremony -- or 285 graduates by 2001. If Peter P. Smith helped only 60 Al Qaeda members learn to fly by 9-11, for each 10 college students, Smith also graduated an additional 2.10 Middle Eastern pilots. That’s 202 conduits to terror all total (the 142 odd Mechistas portend to overthrow the government, by any means necessary), vs. 142 “traditional graduates.” California spends half its budget or $50 billion-dollars per year on education ($1 trillion-dollars nationally), $450 billion since Bill Clinton dedicated CSUMB.

After the 1999 M.E.Ch.A. uprising, CSUMB Provost Dell Felder was “invited to provide academic leadership, for the development of a new university in the United Arab Emirates.” Students would connect-the-dots between the UAE flight students, Dell Felder’s exodus to the UAE, and Bill Clinton’s 2003 appearance on The Late Show. During the show, Bill Clinton told David Letterman that he had just returned from visiting a friend in the Middle East, who had presided over a graduation ceremony at a new university -- four years to the day -- from Dell Felder’s extended hiatus. Bill Clinton also expressed admiration over multiculturalism, but estimated that an integrated global economy, diversity and multiculturalism, might take a couple more years. But when David Letterman brought up the 1998 bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224, including 12 Americans and injuring more than 5,000 -- although Osama bin Laden was believed responsible -- “a meaningless facial tic” flashed across Bill Clinton’s face so fast, it was almost imperceptible.

Dr. Judith Ramaley, the 21st president of the University of Vermont, authored CSUMB’s final accreditation report. There’s no connection, of course, between former (Vt.) Lt. Governor Peter P. Smith, his brother Charles Smith (who heads Vermont’s Department of Human Services with the largest budget of Vermont’s five state agencies), and Dr. Ramaley. So utterly ridiculous is Judith Ramaley’s report, that it defies even her interpretation. Currently, Ramaley is Assistant Director of Education and Human Resources, National Science Foundation. The NSF essentially issues grants. NSF agenda: “boundary crossing strategies, embracing the habits of engagement, and infusing education with the excitement of discovery.” Again, one need only discover the nexus between Hillary Clinton, Peter P. Smith, and Judith Ramaley to understand CSUMB’s miraculous ability to excite, and infuse itself with whopping amounts of grant money.

To further enhance the “skunk works” financial well-being, before leaving office, Bill Clinton raised the ceiling on student loans, and effected monumental increases in Federal-funding for schools with a 28 percent Hispanic enrollment. CSUMB enrolls 28 percent Hispanic. According to The Monterey Herald, 2003 -- Stumping for Gray Davis, speaking in the Leon Panetta Lecture Series and swinging a few clubs, Bill Clinton’s finally breezing into town next week. As part of a three-day trip to the West Coast, the former president will appear at a special sold-out Panetta Institute forum. Together with institute founder Leon Panetta, his former chief of staff, Clinton will discuss ‘The Challenges of Presidential Leadership in the 21st Century.’ The former colleagues will also challenge local chefs and tackle a formidable seafood dinner.

The Clintons knew the proximity to Super Fund site would expose students to hazardous substances. And Peter P. Smith called enrolling students: “our single worst decision.” But Leon Panetta scratches his head when it comes to CSUMB. The Panetta Institute is only located on Fort Ord, writes Panetta. Good luck with your educational endeavors. Leon Panetta and Peter P. Smith had inherited two large tracts of Army housing -- for which they had become the landlords -- guaranteeing each man a handsome income in perpetuity. During his talk, the 42nd President of the United States mentions neither education, nor his role in bringing CSUMB to fruition. Fort Ord had become yet another Clinton venue for personal prerequisite, social engineering -- and a black hole for hundreds-of-millions of taxpayer dollars. CSUMB has no product, no academic plan, no assessment method, no grade complaint policy -- and no reason for being -- except to function as a giant slush fund and occasional golf outing. Accreditation also means Peter P. Smith takes direct control of CSUMB’s carefully crafted Federal financial-aid funds.

Before his recall, Governor Gray Davis announced the appointment of Margaret J. “Dee Dee” Myers, as The CSU’s 23rd Trustee. Ms. Myers served as White House press secretary under Bill Clinton from ‘93 to ‘94. Dee Dee also resided in Leon Panetta’s 17th Congressional District, and despite the obvious discrepancies in their ages -- Dee Dee was billed as an old school chum of Hillary’s. It was Press Secretary Dee Dee, who would cut her tenure short by revealing that the White House, instead of a disinterested FBI investigation had initiated the Travel Office firings. Dee Dee, had only sought to show how the Clintons’ were ferreting out corruption, but instead revealed the targets of an investigation. Subsequent investigations would also prove Hillary’s denial of having any knowledge of the Travel Office fiasco, categorically false. Dee Dee and the other twenty-two CSU Trustees, approve the three annual raises for the CSU faculty, and the twenty-three presidents. The 17th District is as notorious for its (some say bought) presidential drug pardons, as is Dee Dee for her DUIs. When it came to Clinton family values, the 17th District was hard to beat (but that’s another story).

News Item: 23 February 2004 -- One year from the inception of the Homeland Security Organization, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, speaking at George Washington University, talked about that crisp September morning -- and told listeners that we are all responsible for protecting freedom. News Item: 24 Feb. -- The New York Times reported the German intelligence tip about one UAE flyer, two and one-half years before 9-11. But, as early as ‘96, President Clinton knew about “Operation Bojinka” (loud bang), a plot to use commercial airliners as weapons. Bill Clinton appointed (then) Vice President Al Gore to chair the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. Al Gore’s report, released Spring ‘98, for improving airport security included a system for profiling passengers. Al Gore’s plan was scrapped, ostensibly due to legal problems inherent in profiling based on ethnicity and national origin. Gore’s findings also emphasized the need for the sharing of information among the CIA, FBI, the INS, and FAA on suspected terrorists -- while Smith and Panetta collected their rents.

On 06 August ‘98, Monica Lewinsky testified under immunity to the Grand Jury (Monica had been subpoenaed to appear at a ‘97 deposition in the Paula Jones suit, and her testimony about having had sex at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would sink Bill Clinton). But less than twenty-four hours later on 07 August, bombs exploded in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam. Bill Clinton’s blasé response to the simultaneous bombings, included blowing-up an aspirin factory and authorizing the CIA to kill bin Laden (bin Laden could be killed by accident, but not on purpose). Clinton had already passed-up a chance to take bin Laden into custody -- but pushed regime change through Congress as a pillar of American foreign policy. Ten days after the embassy bombings, Bill offered the nation an angry backhanded apology for his “inappropriate relationship.”

Noted facial recognition expert, UC San Francisco Psychologist Paul Ekman, appearing in The New Yorker, says: I was watching [Bill Clinton’s] facial expressions, and I said to my wife, This is [Dr. M. Scott] Peck’s Bad Boy ... This is a guy who wants to be caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and have us love him for it anyway. Dr. Ekman paused, then reconstructed that particular sequence of expressions on his face ... rolled his eyes-and it was as if Slick Willie himself were suddenly in the room. Dr. Ekman felt that Clinton’s expression conveyed, I’m a bad boy. Says Ekman, I don’t think it’s a good thing. Dr. Ekman told a member of Clinton’s communication staff he could teach him how not to do that. The staffer said, Well, we can’t take the risk that he’s known to be seeing an expert on lying. Ekman rather liked Clinton, and wanted Clinton’s ‘trademark expression,’ to have been no more than a meaningless facial tic. Ekman shrugged, Unfortunately, I guess, he needed to get caught-and he got caught.

When he served in the White House Leon Panetta says, The administration feared terrorist attacks from unconventional means such as nerve gas or small-scale nuclear weapons. When a ‘demented’ man flying a small plane crashed on the White House south lawn ... the ‘specter’ of an airborne attack became real. But Leon Panetta says, [he] Never foresaw the kind of devastation that hit New York and Washington [the Pentagon is located in Arlington Virginia]. Leon Panetta was in Washington [9-12] and had planned to fly back to Monterey that evening. But with the nation’s airports shut down, he was stuck. I’m seriously considering a rental car, said Panetta.

Post 9-11, Leon Panetta forgot about “pulverizing the status quo,” along with Middle Eastern flight students, and retired to his enigmatic Panetta Institute for Public Policy to host Forums on Terrorism and National Security. The Panetta Institute is located squarely on Fort Ord, a stones throw from the Silas B. Hays Government Center (Fort Ord’s old hospital building). The nearby Monterey International Airport, with its miniaturized concourse, is also visible from the Hays building. It would have been impossible for the super secret governmental agencies stationed at the complex (off-limits to the public), to have used the airport between 1996 and 2001, and not spotted the Middle Eastern males, all clad in flowing white linen robes complete with head gear.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clifton’s failure to attend the funerals of the 9-11 victims, was chalked-off to scheduling conflicts. For Hillary, the liability for circumventing the ceremonies would be far less than attending and being tied to the World Trade Center attacks. It was classic Clinton. That didn’t keep gubernatorial hopeful, Leon Panetta’s name off the list during the California recall, but such a revelation could conflict with Hillary’s schedule to become president. Bill Clinton’s credit card expires and it’s news -- but clear and convincing evidence that political opportunists, drunken schemers, and the Clintons were the genesis of 9-11, by “legally” enabling the Middle Eastern alumni of their “skunk works” to perform past and future catastrophes goes unreported.
