UN SPECIAL ENVOY BILL CLINTON’S RECORDS SOUGHT FROM UNITED NATIONS AND

STATE DEPARTMENT

 

Watchdog Files Open Records Requests for Former President’s UN Contract, Expense Reports &

Bush Administration Approval

  

(Washington, DC)  Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, said today that it has filed an open records request with UN Secretary General Kofi A. Annan, and Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) requests with the U.S. State Department seeking all records detailing the appointment of former U.S. President William Jefferson Clinton as United Nations Special Envoy for the countries affected by the tsunami in southern Asia.  Secretary General Annan appointed Mr. Clinton to the position in early February, 2005.  Mr. Clinton’s appointment was reportedly coordinated and approved by the Bush administration through the State Department.

 

Judicial Watch is specifically seeking Mr. Clinton’s contract with the UN, memoranda of understanding, commissions, appointments, credentials and expense reports.  Once obtained, Judicial Watch will report on the documents and make all of Mr. Clinton’s and the UN’s records available to the public from the Internet site:  http://www.JudicialWatch.org.

 

The burgeoning UN Oil-for-Food scandal, and increasing concerns over fraud, misappropriation and exploitation of funds and disaster relief resources to tsunami victims set a disheartening backdrop for the involvement of former President Clinton.  The South China Morning Post has reported Mr. Clinton using his “humanitarian mission” travel to promote sales of his memoir through book signings and promotional events in Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. 

 

“Given Mr. Clinton’s well documented violations of law and ethical lapses, his appointment as Mr. Annan’s special envoy raises very grave questions.  The Bush administration endorsement of such an ethically challenged arrangement raises separate questions concerning the administration’s ethical and legal judgment,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Thank you Judicial Watch!

Bill Clinton's appointment to a position at the United Nations is very dangerous to America's future.

Never Trust the Conspiring Clintons!!

Remember their "Third Way" plan?

1 - Arkansas
2 - United States
3 - The United Nations

Bill Clinton is a private citizen (Thank God!) and what the UN covers on his expense account doesn't particularly concern me.

This is my favorite Clinton/UN document.....

NIX TO BLIX: ...The second has been the failure to implement Congress's Iraq Liberation Act - which was supposed to fund the overthrow of the dictator by native opposition groups. President Bill Clinton signed the 1998 act which was supposed to invest $97 million in this project. Apparently only $20,000 has been disbursed to the opposition groups - enough to buy some basic office supplies. The London office of the Iraqi National Congress, the main democratic opposition group, shut down at the end of last year...

No one seems to know or care where $97 million dollars went?

Bill "Fellatio" Clinton wants to go from being the president of the US to president of the (world) United Nations. With Bill president of the world and Hillary president of the US, they will try to enact their master plan that they have in store for all of us. Sorry, we will not stand idly by and let they happen. Time to get the troops mobilized one again.

Remember the WHOLE CLINTOON LEGACY AND STRATEGY which dates all the way back to the early days of Arkansas. POWER, POWER, POWER. And nothing OR NOBODY ever got in their way that didn't end up dead or in prison. Strange coincidence. Yes, Bonnie and Clyde are making their BIG POWER PLAY NOW. Too bad that the Washington government does not have the brass to throw the U.N. out of this country immediately if not sooner...remember WHO the Clintoons made a heavy effort to consort with while in office --- every corrupt, communist, dictatorship on the face of the planet. Hmmm, sounds alot like the U.N. membership profile, doesn't it??

Having said all that, their game is real obvious. If this country would be SO STUPID as to put a criminal misfit like Hitlery in the White House, it deserves everything IT WILL GET.

Fat chance! We still don't have answers to all of the other criminal acts by the Clintons including billing records, filegate, chinagate, travelgate, etc.

Bill Clinton is not just a docile dirty-old-man,
he is a power hungry psychopath.

This appointment will NOT soothe the Beast
within him, or silence the Beast that sits in Hillary's skin.

What control will we, the American citizen, have,
if these two move their tentacles to a global authority?

I do not trust other world leaders, voting at
a World Table to protect my liberties. That's
why we have a Constitution.

Clinton's appointment is a tragic mistake.

Wasn't BILL CLINTON impeached, for God's sake!

Meanwhile in WA State, elected officials pass unanimously a senate bill to RESTRICT further public access to government information. I know Larry Klayman hasn't won a case (to my knowlege) but if he ever does, please see us next!

Yes, it's something else. They're working together to raise $$$ for the Tsunami relief.

This is just another one of LK's publicity stunts that will go nowhere. Expect LK to issue frequent press releases (that someone will post as "breaking news") every time the presidng judge in the case grows a nose hair, sneezes on the bench, rubs his or her nose, or yawns.
