Noting that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of "revolution," Clinton said before a gathering hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton that affirmative action foes focus only on his urging that people be judged by their character.

Before the annual Martin Luther King Day audiences yesterday, city and state Democrats bashed President George W. Bush while Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg focused his remarks on city schools in five appearances.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said they'd file "friend of the court" briefs opposing Bush's legal action against the University of Michigan's ethnic diversity program...

Through the press the public was informed that the negro was a desperado. As a matter of fact, Richardson was a merchant, well to do and law-abiding.

What, then, is the cause of lynching? At the last analysis, it will be discovered that there are just two causes of lynching. In the first place, it is due to race hatred, the hatred of a stronger people toward a weaker who were once held as slaves. In the second place, it is due to the lawlessness so prevalent in the section where nine-tenths of the lynchings occur.

[A]t the time of his death Ron Brown was under investigation by an independent counsel, and was likely to be indicted. According to his business partner and confidant, Nolanda Hill, Brown had told President Clinton days before he was asked unexpectedly to travel to Croatia that he would negotiate a plea agreement with the independent counsel, which would entail telling what he knew about alleged illegalities in the Clinton-Gore Administration. Clinton, according to Brown, responded badly.
Judicial Watch, the only entity that has, in its case, taken the sworn testimony of John Huang, which sparked the campaign finance scandal, had also asked the Court to depose Ron Brown, the former Clinton Commerce Department Cabinet Secretary who orchestrated the sale of seats on trade missions in exchange for large campaign contributions to the Democratic Party and Clinton-Gore campaigns, among other illegal acts. The Court in the lawsuit which exposed the scandal has stated that had Ron Brown lived, he would have been deposed by Judicial Watch.
Following his death in Croatia, the Clinton-Gore Pentagon precipitously announced that the death was accidental, before a standard safety investigation was undertaken. Importantly, a safety investigation was never undertaken.
In addition, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology was asked to examine the body. What the pathologists and photographers found was a hole in Secretary Brown's head, the size and shape of a .45 caliber bullet.
Interviews on BET television with the chief military pathologist suggest that he wanted to conduct an autopsy to see if the hole was the result of a gunshot wound, but he was called off by The White House, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Clinton-Gore Commerce and Transportation Departments. |

CLINTON COMMERCE SECRETARY WAS SLATED FOR DEPOSITION WEEK THAT HE DIED PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW REVEALS EVIDENCE THAT WOUND FOUND ON BROWN'S HEAD WAS UNEXPLAINED Friend Nolanda Hill Believes Death Needs to Be Investigated

8. Mr. Grafeld told me, referring to Judicial Watch's allegations that Commerce Department trade mission seats were sold in exchange for campaign contributions, that "(Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel) Klayman is right on target" but that he believes that the trade mission issues were "only the tip of the iceberg -- that the really big money went towards Presidential access."
Mr. Grafeld indicated to me that he believes that Ms. Moss was asking for political contributions in exchange for seats on Commerce Department trade missions, likely at the direction of Hillary Rodham Clinton, but that documents showing this illegal activity had "left the building." In fact, there were effectively no security procedures at the Commerce Department to ensure that sensitive and secret documents and/or any documents which might evidence criminal activity stayed in the building. The purported letters referenced by Mr. Grafeld and Nolanda Hill could easily have "left the building" absent sufficient procedures to secure them.

9."Hill's charges lead to one conclusion -- reappoint the independent counsel"
WASHINGTON - The business partner of late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown testified Monday to a scheme by First Lady Hillary Clinton and top-level White House operatives to cover up evidence linking Commerce Department trade missions to political contributions. Today, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee charged that Nolanda Hill's sworn accusations "mandate that the independent counsel's investigation of the Commerce Department's trade missions be reactivated."
"Independent counsel Daniel Pearson's investigation into allegations that the Commerce Department sold seats on trade missions for contributions to the Clinton-Gore campaign was dropped after Ron Brown's death in April of 1996," noted RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson.
"In light of Nolanda Hill's testimony, it seems the allegations of wrong-doing go much higher than the late Ron Brown. Pearson must be re-appointed, and the independent investigation allowed to continue."
Mrs. Hill, who testified she was Brown's business partner and "close personal confidant for over seven years," testified that he showed her "an inch-thick set" of Commerce Department documents linking trade missions and political contributions. He was under orders from former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and current Deputy Chief of Staff John Podesta, he told her, to withhold the documents until after the 1996 Presidential elections. Brown died weeks afterwards, she testified.
Hill testified that Hillary Clinton and senior White House officials had ordered Brown to ask business executives to give a minimum of $50,000 to the Democrat National Committee and the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign to gain seats on the trade missions. "I'm doing my chores for Hillary Clinton," Brown told her.
"Nolanda Hill's allegations of a cover-up orchestrated at the highest levels of the White House are serious and troubling," Nicholson said, "as is the fact that she was indicted by the Justice Department only two months after she first made these allegations under oath." Hill made the allegations in an affidavit January 17, and expressed fears that she would face retaliation from the Clinton Justice Department for doing so, Nicholson noted. She was indicted on March 13.

Where is justice for Ron Brown ?
Sad to say, even his son Michael, whether out of fear or other motivation, kept quiet and took his own buy-off bundle.
Ron Brown's Son Gets ProbationReceives three years' worth for illegal donations to Kennedy's 1994 campaignWASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Nov. 21) -- The son of the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown received three years' probation and a $5,000 fine for illegally contributing to Sen. Ted Kennedy's 1994 campaign. Michael A. Brown, a Washington lawyer, pled guilty in August to misdemeanor charges that he had exceeded the $2,000 limit on individual donations to a federal candidate. He must also perform 150 hours of community service and pay an additional $7,818 for the costs of his probation. Brown, 32, gave $2,000 to his secretary and $1,000 apiece to two co-workers which they then gave to Kennedy's campaign. Brown himself received the money from Oklahoma fund-raisers Gene and Nora Lum, who have admitted they laundered $50,000 through "straw donors" including Brown.
"Mr. Brown would like to have the court believe this incident... was due to an over-enthusiasm for Sen. Kennedy's campaign," said Justice Department prosecutor Jonathan Biran. But, Biran said, "he knew what the rules were regarding personal contributions. In 1994, he decided that on two occasions these rules didn't have to apply to him." In a statement at the sentencing, Brown told the judge, "I stand before you accepting full responsibility for my actions." "I expect to move forward with renewed energy in meeting my court-ordered obligations and in advancing the goals of education and opportunity championed by my father and to which I have committed myself," he said.

Ron Brown's Son Guilty Of Laundering Donations The Washington Times Michael A. Brown, son of the late Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown, pleaded guilty Thursday to federal election law violations for illegal donations he made during the 1994 campaign. In a deal with Justice Department prosecutors, Mr. Brown admitted to a misdemeanor count of exceeding the legal limit of $2,000 for an individual donor when he illegally routed $4,000 to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's 1994 campaign through "straw donors" as an officer of an Oklahoma utilities firm run by Democratic fund-raisers Nora and Gene Lum. Mr. Brown, 32, told U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina that charges in the government's plea agreement were "very accurate" and admitted he broke the law by finding others to divert the cash to the campaign of the Massachusetts Democrat. Judge Urbina accepted the plea and set sentencing for Nov. 21. Mr. Brown agreed to cooperate in the government's probe of campaign-finance abuses in exchange for no prison term. Prosecutor Raymond N. Hulser said the amount of the donations dictated that a misdemeanor charge be filed instead of a felony. The charge carries a one-year prison sentence and a $100,000 fine. Mr. Brown, in a statement, said he took "personal responsibility for a single misdemeanor violation" of election laws and had "fully cooperated" with the court, law enforcement officials and the Justice Department. He said he hoped to "put the tragedy of the last year fully behind" him. The Brown plea was the second for the government in its probe of campaign-finance abuses. In June, the Lums pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to pass $50,000 through others to the Kennedy campaign and that of W. Stuart Price, an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the House in Oklahoma. They also agreed to cooperate in the government's campaign-finance probe. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Price were not implicated in the scheme. In the Brown case, records show he contributed $1,000 to Mr. Kennedy's re-election campaign on May 27, 1994, and made another $1,000 donation on Sept. 20, 1994. On the same day as his second donation, the government said, he disguised $4,000 in additional contributions to Mr. Kennedy by routing them through three others. Mr. Brown, according to the records, later reimbursed the three individuals for the donations. The Justice Department said funds for "these unlawful contributions" were given to Mr. Brown by the Lums. Sentencing for the Lums is scheduled for Sept. 9. They face five years in prison and fines totaling $250,000. Prosecutors have said they would seek reduced sentences if the Lums provide "substantial cooperation" in the campaign-finance probe. The Lums were among party loyalists who sought Commerce Department access to further their business interests in exchange for campaign donations to Democrats. Nora Lum, a frequent White House visitor, was chief operating officer of Dynamic Energy Resources Inc., a Tulsa pipeline company. Gene Lum served as a company director. As director of the Asian Pacific Advisory Council, which sought donations from Asian-Americans for Mr. Clinton's 1992 campaign, Nora Lum also was a confidante to John Huang -- former Commerce official, Democratic National Committee fund-raiser and Lippo Group executive at the heart of the government's campaign-finance probe. She was named by Ronald Brown, then chairman of the Democratic National Committee, to head APAC in August 1992 and raised more than $250,000 for the Clinton campaign. According to FEC records, her appointment came after she made donations of $20,000 to the DNC. Her name first surfaced in a probe by independent counsel Daniel S. Pearson of suspected financial irregularities involving Ronald Brown. Mr. Pearson was named in June 1995 to look into possible criminal violations involving Ronald Brown's receipt of $400,000 from First International Inc. Ronald Brown was killed in a plane crash in Croatia in April 1996. The Pearson probe was then turned over to the Justice Department. Note : "Mr. Brown agreed to cooperate in the government's probe of campaign-finance abuses in exchange for no prison term." This is the specious rationale of Reno and the Justice Department for permitting Michael Brown to avoid a prison sentence. Now he will merely pay a fine and walk away. His "cooperation" will probably prove to be as worthless as Hubbell's. The Justice Department will seek reduced sentences for the Lums as well in return for their "substantial cooperation." They know a great deal about John Huang but Reno realizes they can be relied upon to disclose nothing of real value.

The O'Reilly Factor Talking Points - 6.21.00 "I'm Bill O'Reilly reporting from Chicago ... thanks for watching us tonight. We are here in the Windy City because this is the base of Jesse Jackson whose finances we have been investigating as you may know. And that's the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. Trying to pin down how much money Reverend Jackson's charities get from donations and where that money goes is like trying to grab a greased pole &emdash; it is nearly impossible. Right now Reverend Jackson oversees four organizations which are receiving charitable contributions. The Factor has obtained 1999 tax information for two of them from the State of Illinois. The combined income from Rainbow Push and the Push for Excellence organization was more than four million dollars, much of that money going for travel and administrative expenses which are not itemized. In fact, no one received a salary at Push for Excellence and after the small salaries were paid at Rainbow more than three million was left over money which was spent but we don't know exactly how and neither does the State of Illinois. But the big winner for Jesse Jackson is his new Citizenship Education Fund which runs the Wall Street Project. Here the money flow is major: $2,250,000 in 1998 and none of the officers at the Citizenship Education Fund are receiving a salary. One trustee member was paid 60 thousand dollars but that's it &emdash; that means that big money is floating around in unitemized expenses. The Wall Street Project is designed to get minorities involved in stocks and bonds. The Factor has learned that the following entities gave Jackson's project significant amounts of money in 1998: The Chicago Stock Exchange, Dean Wiitter, Donaldson, Luftkin and Jenrette, Merrill Lynch, Paine Webber, The Travelers Group and Time Warner all kicked in 50 grand each and the New York Stock Exchange threw a party for Jackson and wrote off 90 thousand dollars in expenses. And that is just a partial list. As we have reported previously unitemized travel expenses for Jackson's organizations are running into the millions each year but at this time the State of Illinois and the IRS have not seen fit to audit the expenses. The last time a Jackson organization was audited was during the Reagan Administration in 1982 approximately one million dollars was found unaccounted for. Jackson took eight years to pay back 550,000 dollars in penalties. Jackson himself will not talk with us about his finances despite being pressed by Hannity and Colmes. And then by Fox anchor David Asman the Reverend took a different tact. Now we are not saying that Jesse Jackson is doing anything wrong but two of his organizations are tax exempt and all are charitable enterprises so tax deductions are being taken. This clearly puts Jackson's money into the public domain. He himself is a millionaire and we would once again urge him to explain his financial situation. And that's the memo."

Can we hope that the sleeping giant, American character is finally awakening?
Thank you Mia T for one more reminder that The Clintons represent the very darkest side of Evil so vile, no one wants to believe it really happened and is still happening in America.

Re clinton SexLies vs. clinton SpyLies--exactly on point regarding order of magnitude. I considered a less elliptical mixing of metaphors, but wanted to keep the Flash file as small as possible. (WILLFUL) IGNORANCE DEFENSE DOESN'T CUT IT: I mean, did the "co-presidents" REALLY have to be told about the China espionage??... Let's be real; it was, in fact, the clintons' "policy" to facilitate it ...Any resultant cognitive dissonance (an unlikely consequence of treason for shameless, power-hungry psychopaths) was, no doubt, assuaged forthwith and continuously by the color of sluicing into the clinton coffers. As for the Republicans, I agree. Something or someone has shut them up. It is my view that the clintons have blackmailed just about everyone who can do them harm. If we hope to endure,the American people and govt--which, loosely speaking, include the democrats--must band together to fight and remove this pair of noxious, ruthless, arrogant-- yet ultimately quite naive--criminals, who, it is clear, refuse on their own to leave the scene of their many crimes against humans and humanity.
