How the Clintons hid Hillary's thesis
MSNBC Interactive ^ | Sept. 6, 2007 | Bill Dedman

Posted on 11/12/2007 1:19:58 PM PST by jmaroneps37

“…It was early 1993, in the first days of the Clinton administration, when Hillary Clinton's friend and former thesis adviser at Wellesley College took the phone call that would land him in the middle of a political intrigue. "I got a call from ... the White House — shortly after the inauguration, saying the Clintons had decided not to release her thesis," professor Alan H. Schechter told MSNBC.com. "I said, 'Why? It's a good thesis.' I got some mumbo jumbo about how they were beginning to work on health care and she had criticized Sen. Moynihan in the thesis, and didn't want to alienate him." In fact, the thesis from 1969 contains not a negative word about .... Moynihan, the late Democratic senator from New York, and Schechter allows that the real source of fear must have been the subject of the academic paper: Chicago radical organizer Saul Alinsky.

"I argued with them that they should release it……. "The more you hide something, the more people will want it," Schechter said. "It was a stupid political decision, obviously, at the time." After the call from the White House, Wellesley's president, …… consulted with lawyers and closed access to any thesis written by a U.S. president or first lady, a rule affecting only Hillary D. Rodham's thesis. “…. the thesis can be read at your local library — one library at a time, that is. A single copy, on microfilm, can be ordered from Wellesley on a 30-day interlibrary loan. “…… but anyone who publishes the text could be liable for statutory damages of up to $150,000. Of course, it's not clear whether a presidential candidate would want to draw even more attention to her writings on an old radical by suing.” © 2007

Let me guess, her thesis spelled out her Marxist-Communist leanings?

Because they’re sneaks & crooks of course. If we knew all that was done in the past she wouldn’t have a chance I guess.

Somebody drop the New York Times a copy in an unmarked paper bag and tell them it’s a Top Secret government document with the power to end terrorism and communism instantly as long as its secrecy is maintained, and the PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW. Instant Full Frontal Page Exposure.

” but anyone who publishes the text could be liable for statutory damages of up to $150,000. “

Not a bad investment in keeping the story front and center. Now let’s just find a way to make Soros pay for it—put on your clever caps, folks. I just know there’s a way.

My understanding was that she blocked it completely while they were in the White House, but allowed read-only access after she was elected to the Senate. I’ve also heard that it wasn’t as explosive as its being locked away implied, but that’s third-hand. Anything she wants to hide, I want to see for myself.

Thanks for post. Her Two key concepts in thesis; social equalization and democracy.

In college at that time, I resolved to not “tear down the walls” and “burn baby burn” as a wild-eye euphoric hippy radical. There were some things in society I wanted to change too. It was my decision to go mainstream and change things from within. So did Hillary.

She went left and I went right. Now we are all stuck in generational conflict.

Does it make any difference when the alleged “copywright” is claimed? I ask because the typing in the PDF for the copywright statement was done by a different typwriter than the document itself. Does it still hold up if it was added later??
