HILLARY'S SECRET WAR The real story behind

If that sounds too fantastic to be true, read on.
By Richard Poe
"When Clinton lied, nobody died," says a popular bumper sticker.
While untrue, the slogan makes good propaganda. Democrats can repeat it ad infinitum without fear of rebuttal from Republicans. No conservative in public life is willing to broach the topic of the Clinton body count in 2005. Yet the Clintons are more vulnerable on this issue than on any other.
Nixon's articles of impeachment did not accuse him of ordering the burglary of Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. They accused him only of covering up the burglary, after the fact.
Likewise, no one can prove that Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster met his death through foul play. It is quite possible that he committed suicide. However, it has been proved beyond doubt that the Clinton White House obstructed, corrupted and undermined every effort to investigate Foster's death.
Nixon was held accountable for his obstructive acts. The Clintons were not.
A nation in denial
British journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is one of the most knowledgeable investigators of the Foster cover-up. The Cambridge-educated Evans-Pritchard is less easily dismissed than many Clinton critics. He covered war-torn Central America for the Economist and the Sunday Telegraph. As the Telegraph's Washington bureau chief from 1992 to 1997, he "was known in Washington for accuracy, industry and courage" in the words of Washington Post pundit Robert Novak.
Evans-Pritchard has commented on the cocoon of denial into which many decent, well-meaning people retreat when their governments go bad. He has seen it in many countries. "You tell the people in San Salvador that their air force is carpet-bombing the campesinos, they say that's impossible," he remarked to New York Times Magazine writer Philip Weiss. Evans-Pritchard saw a similar self-delusion proliferating in Clinton's America.
According to Evans-Pritchard, he became "radicalized" in Nicaragua. "I could see that what the [foreign] press was writing was not true about the Sandinistas," he told Insight magazine in 1997. "They had a love affair with the revolution. They were all sitting around Managua and going to parties with Sandinista officials. There was a very romantic side to it all. But out there in the countryside, the Sandinistas were doing horrible things to the campesinos ... people were being killed in quite large numbers."
Evans-Pritchard did what his colleagues would not. He traveled the countryside and interviewed campesinos. They were only too glad to tell him about Sandinista atrocities. "For the first time in my life, I realized that what you read in the papers is not true, and this quite shocked me. I started writing from a different point of view, and I found myself very quickly in a big dispute with my colleagues, and it never ended."
In Clinton's America, Evans-Pritchard saw journalists behaving little differently from their colleagues in the Managua press corps. "The way [American reporters] cover Arkansas is exactly the way they covered Nicaragua, which is they didn't go out into the hills and talk to ordinary people," he noted in 1997.
Evans-Pritchard undertook the task himself. He presented his discoveries in a 1997 book titled, "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: The Unreported Stories" in my view, the most accurate, thorough and fearless account of Clinton corruption yet produced. It offers a detailed expose of the Clintons' ties to drug lords and death squads, in an America rapidly descending into Salvadoran-style lawlessness.
"To a foreign eye, America looks like a country that is flying out of control," writes Evans-Pritchard.
Regarding Vincent Foster's peculiar death and the ensuing cover-up, Evans-Pritchard wrote in 1997, "The Foster case is taboo for American journalists. In private, many concede that the official story is unbelievable, but they will not broach it in print ... It has nothing to do with party affiliation. If anything, Republican journalists are even more susceptible to the spell."
'Cleaning house'
Jerry Luther Parks was reportedly watching a news bulletin on the death of Vincent Foster when he turned from the television and muttered, "I'm a dead man." His son Gary was with him in the room. It was July 21, 1993. The White House Deputy Counsel had just been found dead in Fort Marcy Park, about seven miles from the White House, across the Potomac River in Virginia. Foster had been shot through the head, said the bulletin, an apparent suicide.
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard interviewed the Parks family extensively. In "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton," he reports that Parks was a nervous wreck for the next two months. He packed a gun and drove evasively to shake off any possible pursuers. At one point, Parks told his family that Bill Clinton was "cleaning house" and that he was "next on the list." Parks had been security chief for Clinton-Gore campaign headquarters in Little Rock, Ark., in 1992.
On Sept. 23, 1993, as Parks was driving to his suburban Little Rock home along the Chenal Parkway, a white Chevrolet Caprice with two men inside drove alongside and peppered Parks' car with semiautomatic gunfire. Parks's car ground to a halt. A man emerged from the white Chevy, fired two rounds into Parks' chest with a 9-mm pistol, then sped off.
Several witnesses watched the murder. The killers were never found. As with so many other "Arkancides" the name given to the long list of suspicious deaths among Arkansas associates of the Clintons Big Media ignored the event.
One of the last people to see Vincent Foster alive was Linda Tripp, who then worked as a secretary for Foster's boss, White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum. Tripp testified before Kenneth Starr's grand jury on July 28, 1998, that the reason she had leaked Monica Lewinsky's story to Michael Isikoff at Newsweek was that Tripp hoped the spotlight of national publicity might protect her from physical harm.
"I am afraid of this administration," Tripp told the Grand Jury.
"But do you have any examples of violence being done by the administration to people who were a threat to them?" asked a juror.
Tripp named Jerry Parks. "[T]he behavior in the West Wing with senior staff to the president during the time the Jerry Parks [murder report] came over the fax frightened me. He had been killed," said Tripp. The "flurry of activity," the closed-door meetings, and the "hush-hush" atmosphere in the White House all struck her as ominous and frightening.
"Maybe you had to be there," said Tripp.
Some skeptics might discount Tripp's fears as fanciful, even hysterical. But Tripp was no hysteric. On the contrary, she had been trained to deal with stress and intrigue to a greater degree than most. According to the New York Times, Tripp worked for "highly classified Army intelligence and commando units in the 1980s," including as an aide to the top-secret Delta Force. "[I]'ve worked on the covert side of the Department of Defense," Tripp told congressional investigators. In short, Linda Tripp was a spook, a professional denizen of the intelligence underworld. Her observations should not be lightly dismissed.

"The following is a partial list of deaths of persons connected to President Clinton during his tenure as Governor of Arkansas and/or while President of the United States and thereafter. Read the list and judge for yourself.
BARBARA OLSON - Author of "Hell to Pay" - a book critical of Hillary Clinton, killed in the Pentagon bombing."
This is from one of the links you provided. Could you help provide the evidence that the Clintons orchestrated Sept. 11 in order to kill Olson?
Until I hear back, I'm stocking up on tinfoil.
The ones they did talk to were "friends" of the Clintons. Many of them got their "jobs" with help from the Clintons and the "reporters" knew it.
Clinton was infamous for sleeping with women and then getting them jobs to shut them up (with Hillary's knowledge). If I knew that or could find it out I'm sure if a "reporter" wanted to find out it would have been very easy. They probably already knew it and just kept it quite like they do most things harmful to RATS but most especially harmful to the Clintons.
That means that Ken Bacon trashed a spook by releasing her confidential personal information. WHERE IS JOE WILSON'S/VALERIE PLAME'S defenders?!!!
Ken Bacon OUTED a spook! Someone call Joe Biden and Dick Durbin!
And it was mostly unsubstantiated junk, IIRC. Just like what goes on today at DU (though I'd argue not nearly as bad), before the 2000 election when FR sort of 'moderated,' this forum used to drown in this conspiracy stuff. I hope it doesn't return to that. (I have to laugh when a bunch of people who've been here 3 years assert that FR was at its worst during the Schaivo killing - they should have been here when FR flew banners for Justin Raimando's Vince Foster site; a good number of members just "knew" that Clinton was behind the OKC bombing; a couple people had elevated Alan Keyes to a Christ-like level; etc.)
You'd better really know what you're talking about when you go and accuse someone of murder.
For a long time I shared the same thoughts, about the Clintons, as you. I found it very hard to believe that such a thing could happen. Not in America.
I am not the keenest tool in the shed but I can think and I can educate myself. Which is what I did. After some time and work you do see a pattern big enough to make you say, hmmm. Interestingly enough the facts are not crack-pot, tin foil hat writers. They each have credibility.
After the Rush comment, I went here to find out the definition of a sociopath. (gotta start somewhere)
http://home.datawest.net/esn-recovery/artcls/socio.htm
One question I would ask you is this "why could a person be a "sociopath" in one area and not another?
You don't crunch evidence to fit a theory- Grissom
I've spoken to numerous contras. And Sandanistas... I support the regime change!
The replies to this thread sound like something one would find over at the loony DU - just with the names of Presidents switched around.
Have you ever read "Wallstreet Underground"???
"I've never heard anybody - meaning public figures or Republicans I know- claim the Clintons had anything to do with murder!
You're kidding, right?

""I've never heard anybody - meaning public figures or Republicans I know- claim the Clintons had anything to do with murder!"
--You're kidding, right?--
Conspiracy theories are born out of fear. I am not afraid. And I think most sane people would not be. Can you imagine an editor of a major newspaper -no matter what his/her political persuasion- sitting in his/her office trembling in fear from the possibility of retaliation if he were to print a story he just came across about the Clintons? In other countries - definitely. Not here though. Half the country was opposed to the Clintons. I don't know about anybody else, but I was almost ready to believe any scandal that came along i.e. Whitewater, Paula Jones, Willey, Lewinsky, Filegate etc. Most Republicans - high profile or not- were. Any high profile editor would have had the political cover from half the politicians in Washington (Republicans) to print the story and they did. Many scandalous stories were printed - especially Lewinsky. It didn't seem like anyone was afraid to print that story.
That's why I'm reserving my judgement on whether this story is true or false. I should clarify about my saying I had not ever heard of murder allegations against the Clintons before. When I first met my wife's family, my soon-to-be father-in-law(Democrat), when he found out I was an active Republican asked, "Are you one of those wackos who believe the Clintons murdered people?"
I responded truthfully that I had never heard of such people. He thought all Republicans believed that. I chalked it up to Chicago media giving the impression that Republicans are all paranoid.

>>>She will be so bad that people will beg for the arrival of the anti-christ.
Oxymoron?
That said, however, there are a number of specific cases that are extremely suspicious and where there is strong circumstantial evidence pointing to probable homicide by the Clintons. Among these are the suspicious deaths of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Jerry Parks, and a few of Clinton's former bimbos in Arkansas. If you take a good long look at the cases with strong circumstantial evidence, I think you'll find that there's so much of this evidence against the Clintons that it's highly unlikely that they were not invovled in some of these suspicious deaths. It's a question of probabilities. When you look at all the facts and evidence, the probability that they're not involved becomes very remote. Besides the fear of retaliation by the Clintons, there is of course another reason why journalists haven't written many investigative stories about probably homicides involving the Clintons (which you have already mentioned): when you're writing about murder, you need to have very strong evidence before you accuse the POTUS of this crime. The evidence in these cases is voluminous but circumstantial in nature, which causes most journalists to back off from these cases. But I do believe that if serious journalists talked to more people back in Arkansas, they would find a lot more hard evidence.
I often wonder why the FBI wasn't sent in to investigate all the probable criminal activity in Arkansas during Clinton's time as governor. That's still a good question--Why didn't Reagan or Bush 41 start an investigation into the shenanigans going on in Arkansas while Clinton was governor?
This is very true and I saw an example of it myself in Argentina. I went to Argentine in 1995 for a ski trip. You flew to Buenous Aires and from there on to the mountains in the west.
The highway from the B.A. airport to downtown B.A. is an ultra modern, ultra wide affair with at least 4 lanes in either direction, maybe more. At regular intervals on the highway, maybe every 5 miles or so, there are pillbox like structures on the side of the road, obviously fortified strong points which could be manned with the intent of controlling the airport road.
We were in some sort of a chartered bus and the tour operator provided us with a "guide" who spoke english and made sure we got to were we were staying in B.A. We asked him what those structures were for and with a perfectly straight face he said they belonged to the air force who used them for "weather observation".
There was no doubt that he understood our question and that his reply was intentional. What I couldn't tell was if he believed that nonsense himself or this was just the official party line. He sure seemed like he believed it, emphasizing the point being made here.
