I guess his real mistake was not investing in cattle futures /s

But yet:

For those that remember the tire-slashing of GOP vans from November, there's some bad news. The trial of the 5 punks that did it (including the sons of freshly-minted Congresscritter Gwen Crybaby Moore and former Milwaukee mayor Marvin Pratt), originally scheduled for July 11, has been postponed indefinitely -

I own that book, and enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

The first phase of the Clinton coup came on March 23, 1993. Only 11 days after becoming attorney general, Janet Reno called her first press conference to announce that she was firing all 93 U.S. attorneys and replacing them with Clinton loyalists.

Just imagine the media's reaction to this outrageous move if it has been done by George Bush! They would have freaked and demanded he be impeached.

Richard Nixon left office in disgrace for so much less than the things these two despicable creatures did in one day!

Hey murdoog:

I think with the London bombings a lot of people missed this.

I found it over at WND and searched and came up with your post.

Maybe it should be reposted again...

Great read.

"I especially appreciate the moderate tone and style of this article -- no rapid attack dog fangs -- which actually makes the facts of the article stick."

The entire book, Hillary's Secret War, by Richard Poe, is the same way (this seems to be an excerpt, perhaps not properly labelled.) It is the most devastating thing ever written on Hillary---by a wide margin.

I keep hearing about that book, and I guess I am going to have to pick it up. It sounds like a must read.

HILLARY'S SECRET WAR - A MUST READ FOR ALL FREEPERS, BY RICHARD POE.

Phase 3 of the Clinton coup finished the job. The Clintons proceeded to defang the federal judiciary. Between 1994 and 1998, they appointed seven new judges to the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. – all Clinton cronies. The new appointees nicknamed themselves the "Magnificent Seven" – a name that stuck until the Clintons appointed an eighth member to the team in 1998.

And that may be why Judge Brown is needed in that court, and may be skipped for the Supreme.

GGrrrrr, this is making my skin crawl and blood boil, much the same way I felt while reading "Unlimited Access" by the former FBI fellow, Gary Aldrich.

After reading stuff like this, you feel so....violated.

On 9/12/01, the current administration could have cleansed the government of this nest of vermin - whose dereliction of duty was a major cause of the terrorists being able to carry out the attack of the previous day. The Republican House could have moved to impeach the 'magnificent seven' or simply de-fund the DC court.

I believe you hit a

I've been wondering about this myself this since 9/12. Why didn't Bush just "flush" and start over?

[lentulusgracchus]

The reason for the qualifying "for the most part" is that there's no mention of the Clinton Justice Department's harrassment of The American Spectator. That aside, there's plenty of good evidence presented.

The other point he missed is that the dismissal of all 93 United States Attorneys was closely proximate to, and obviously intended to relieve the pressure from, pending referrals from the Resolution Trust Corporation to the United States Attorney in Little Rock concerning RTC's investigation of the collapse of Madison Guaranty, which was an Arkansas politicans' honeypot, when it was under the "management" of Jim and Susan Macdougal.

Why didn't Bush just "flush" and start over?

I've often wondered about this myself. I think there are several reasons.

1. The Clintons would have loved for Bush to spend all his political capital backing a Ken Starr prosecution of the Clintons that the Clintons knew would go nowhere, because (as the article points out) the Clintons had frozen the deck. They had a) pandered to black voters (jurors) shamelessly, b) compromised the Justice Department and seeded it with their moles, and c) introduced "their" judges, here called the "Magnificant Seven".

2. Bush himself may be vulnerable. I've seen allegations (on DU and elsewhere) that Mena's importation project supplied well-connected people all over the country from both political parties with a top-drawer source of drugs -- no icky visits to the bad part of town for them. The allegations include one that puts Dubya at the Mena Airport to pick up some product from Barry Seal and the rest of the Clinton/Contra crew. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton gumshoes have a file of photographs of dozens of well-known people dropping in at the Dew Drop Inn in Mena.

[lentulusgracchus]

The vast majority of the Clinton-installed FBI operatives, Federal prosecutors, and judges are all still in place. (The only ones gone are those who left on their own.)

I agree that that was a major, major political mistake by Bush, Cheney, and Rove. All those Clintonoids should have been gone the next day.

Another area where they needed to clean house was in the Civil Service. The Clintons introduced a program of Civil Service "reform" (actually, purging the older employees on the grounds -- unstated, of course, except for moments of blazing candor -- that they were too old, too male, and too white) that was actually a gimmick for politicizing the Civil Service. The Clintonoid "change agents" needed to be hunted down and exterminated -- or shipped off to a giant post office/weather station/ federal building in Nome.

Once again, strategofr, thanks for the plug!

And yes, for anyone who doesn't know, this is an excerpt from my book Hillary's Secret War — part of a ten-part series now running on WorldNetDaily.com. The installments of the series are labeled as such on WND, but it looks as if murdoog forgot to copy the slugline and editor's note which would have clarified that.

No matter. Thanks for posting it, murdoog!

Posted again? Do they allow that?

I just caught the last half of PRIMARY COLORS on tv a few weeks back. I was impressed with one thing from the very gifted but very pc/now insane director Mike Nichols (who once gave us THE GRADUATE and WIT but sank to strange blasphemous lows in his truncated ANGELS OVER AMERICA) -- how this group of Hollywoodites and lefties managed to make a film about the political corruption and idolatry of the Clintons. Emotionally, it felt real -- even if the facts were skewed. What did you think of that film, Mr. Poe?

And are there any redeeming qualities at all in Hill or Bill? I recall meeting with my pastor, a very famous local LA guy, right before Monica, and he had been at the White House and met with Bill Clinton. He said that he sincerely believed that Clinton was a believer. In light of that, I recall hearing through the Starr frenzy, that Bill actually had a period of time in which he tried to be faithful and it was Monica who shattered that attempt. (Funny how this was the time he should have been nailing Bin Laden instead of her... but God oversees legacy, not man).

Anyway, I guess I am straining for some human qualities in Hillary and to a lesser extent Bill. Some mark of human kindness beyond the Madame Mao mask. Without having read your book, is there anything of true American spirit in her? It scares me that she does know a bit about Presbyterianism (liberation theology!) and that she will try to conjure up a sort of Oprah spirituality in order to win the religious vote when she runs. Any thoughts and thanks again for your excellent writings. I will be getting the book.

Also what did you think of Ambrose Pritchard's book on them? That man is excellent, though I may have gotten the name wrong, he is a conservative anti Marxist Brit writer.

Californiajones writes: "What did you think of that film [PRIMARY COLORS], Mr. Poe?"

I thought it was a whitewash. The moral of the story seemed to be that the Clintons, for all their flaws, had the potential for greatness — a boilerplate Clinton press office theme which also emerges in the title of George Stephanopoulos' memoir All Too Human. This message would have been harder to sustain had the film honestly portrayed the full range of Clinton corruption and brutality, rather than focusing on Bill Clinton's sex flings.

Californiajones: "And are there any redeeming qualities at all in Hill or Bill?"

Everyone has redeeming qualities. However, the Clintons possess no qualities so redeeming as to justify appointing either one of them to any office of public trust in these United States, IMHO.

Also what did you think of Ambrose [Evans-]Pritchard's book on them?

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's The Secret Life of Bill Clinton provides the best-sourced, best-written, most complete and most reliable account of Clinton corruption yet produced.

Its chief (and perhaps only) weakness lies in its analysis of the Oklahoma City bombing, which unfortunately ignores the Middle Eastern connection (see The Third Terrorist by Jayna Davis), but nevertheless points correctly to disturbing and unexplained evidence of U.S. government foreknowledge and perhaps actual complicity in the bombing.

The Clinton anti-terror policy was predicated on the assumption that America had more to fear from home-grown, "right-wing" terrorists than from foreign terrorists. Some researchers have charged that, during the Clinton administration, terrorist attacks by Middle Eastern groups were covered up and falsely characterized as accidental (eg. the downing of TWA Flight 800), while the Oklahoma City bombing was used as a showcase to justify the Clinton policy of targeting "rightwing" terrorism almost exclusively.

You may remember that the Clinton White House blamed the Oklahoma City bombing on a general atmosphere of rightwing hysteria generated, they said, by Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Mainstream media took up the chant with an all-out propaganda war against what they called "hate radio." The FBI subsequently launched Project Megiddo — an aggressive intelligence offensive against allegedly violent elements of the Christian Right.

Thus the bombing proved politically useful to the Clintons. But it was only useful as long as the American people were kept in the dark about the fact that OKC bombmaker Terry Nichols had received training in the Philippines from al-Qaida operatives. This fact — if widely reported — would have greatly diluted the propaganda value of the OKC bombing for the Clintons, and was suppressed.

As a former lefty who sat around with other lefties dreaming of the day we could place "one of our own" in the White House, I have always seen the Clinton presidency as the culmination of a conspiracy to bring that dream to fruition. We wanted to SOCIALIZE the economic system and DISMANTLE the "military-industrial complex", as we called it then, and I don't believe HILLARY ever lost that dream.

The ACTIONS of the Clinton presidency can be seen much more clearly if viewed through that prism.

For me, Jayna Davis' contribution to the history not only gives us a middle eastern connection to OKC, but more importantly an IRAQI one. Laurie Mylroie's work provides us a specific IRAQI connection to the '93 WTC bombing.

I do not find it far-fetched that Bill and Hillary Clinton would have allied themselves in a clandestine manner with the one person in the world who had not only the motive to assist in this endeavor but who also could benefit greatly from the weakening of America's military might.

The Clinton administration's actions while in office vis-a-vis Iraq, all seemed to benefit SADDAM. OKC saved the Clinton presidency, am I too far out there to see a quid-pro-quo between OKC and subsequent actions on Iraq which greatly benefited Saddam?

... through newsgroups such as the venerable alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater.

Well this brings back memories.

I was an avid reader of the clinton whitewater newsgroup for many years. It's where I first saw references to Free Republic and started lurking and then finally posting here. I suspect that is a path taken by many of us. For me, alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater was a revelation. Hard news that you couldn't get anywhere else, tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff and, without a doubt, real insight into Bill and Hillary's Arkansas past.
