Like I said, with that woman on the Commission there's really nothing coming out that anyone can or should trust.


What about Clinton's 2 weeks student visit there, before he went to Moscow to protest the Vietnam war? How was he able to get a visa during the times when the Iron Curtain was nearly impossible to "penetrate" for Westerners?

Billzo was given a visa through family contacts. Donchaknow his grandma on his momma's side was Roma?

Ends up the guy he visited was also Roma.

BTW, it was fairly easy to get a visa to Eastbloc at the time. (Circa 1966/68) Just about once a month a 2-day tourgroup made up mostly of 3rd Division soldiers traveled to Bratislava. You could also visit places in what is now Slovenia.

The Eastbloc emphasis in those days was in not letting people out while, simultaneously, earning hard currency.
