Seeing as Hillary Clinton's book has decided to mock history in an attempt to clear a path to the White House, I think it behoves us to once again draw attention to the enormous damage her husband wilfully did to America's national security.
Several years ago I put forward the view that Clinton's cooperation with Beijing's intelligence operations were so extensive that it could be decided in the interest of saving the presidential office to suppress evidence that might directly incriminate Clinton and some of his associates. I also stated that "the damage to American national security is very deep and longstanding".
The release of the Cox Report tends to support the first statement and most certainly confirms the second. In addition, FBI wire taps appear to have confirmed that Jiang Zemin approved the cover stories for the PLA's money conduits. Whatever Jiang did was done with the knowledge of Zhu Rongji and the rest of the leadership. It is now believed that FBI investigations also led to the conclusion that Clinton was fully aware of the details, including payments of what amounted to nothing less than bribes.
As I have said more than once: "The Americans gave Clinton the key to the candy store and he sold it to Beijing." And this, readers, is basically what the Cox Committee discovered. My old English teacher used to say that "the devil is in the details". I also said that "in accordance with my previous assessment, that it is these very details that will be withheld from the American public." This is exactly what has been done.
Despite the spin Clinton and his horde of media friends tried to put on this terrible situation, it still boils down to treason.
Observing the Clinton propaganda machine, even from this distance, I predicted that, using its media allies, it would launch a multi-pronged attack: 1. It would claim that most of the damage was done during previous administrations. 2. That most of spying occurred in nuclear facilities. 3. In any case, the loss of American military secrets to China represent only a marginal threat to national security. Again, I was right. What is more, none of these excuses can withstand an honest appraisal of the facts, which a quick examination will easily reveal.
Number one is simply not true. If it were, why was Chung given a top security clearance and access to the White House at the suggestion of Chinese officials? I made clear elsewhere that Beijing laid down conditions that gave it access to all of America's secrets. To fulfil this condition Clinton abolished Department of Energy internal controls that restricted access to sensitive facilities thus allowing Chinese intelligence operatives free reign.
In addition, and this is of critical importance, Clinton virtually abolished controls on exports to China of high-tech equipment that had important military applications. Moreover, to make it even easier to access this equipment and knowledge Clinton transferred responsibility for technology exports from defence to the Commerce Department. Why? Because this had the effect of removing these technologies classified status.
What is not classified cannot therefore be secret. This is the Clintons' devious legalistic logic at work. "How could I have sold secrets", he can now claim, "when they weren't secret?"
This allowed certain companies to sell formerly classified equipment to the People's Liberation Army in return for making heavy donations to the Democrats especially one in particular. One would have to be incredibly naive, or fanatically partisan, to think all of this was due to administrative ineptitude. The important fact here is that previous presidents did not sell their country's secrets.
Defence number two that espionage of any significance only occurred in nuclear laboratories is made risible by a mountain of evidence to the contrary. Such a defence is the fruit of desperation. The third defence that any damage to US security is only marginal is worthless.
Marginal or not it would still have unnecessarily put at risk the lives of a great many Americans. Moreover, this too is a hollow defence. By selling this technology to the PLA Clinton strengthened the hand of China's crude nationalists at the expense of more liberal forces. The longer it took the PLA to develop these technologies the more time Chinese liberals would have had to consolidate their influence.
Clinton has also saved Beijing an enormous amount of time and resources, which can now be put to other military uses.
Even if the damage has been greatly over-stated, it should not be used to conceal the fact that treason is treason. An American who did far less by giving secrets to Israel is now serving a very long prison term. Clinton should do no less. Unfortunately this will never happen. I fear the American people could not live with the disgrace of knowing that a president had betrayed them, even though the networks apparently can.
Americans are now confronted with the spectacle of Hillary Clinton cynically trying lay down the foundations for a presidential bid. This woman is far worse than her husband ever was. God help America, not to mention the rest of us, should she manage to fulfill her overriding ambition.
Thanks for posting that link ..

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Thanks for the ping and the post !
Uh, haz anybahdy
seed hillary ??
Uh, nevah mind!
Ah found 'er !!More bump images HERE !
BUT because he's such a despicably evil liar, conniver, pompous, arrogant, sickening human being -- THIS is what makes him such an ugly, UGLY, UGLY man, and why I can't stand to look at his disgraceful face!
As it is said: Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it! (or something like that)
The scope and breadth of Clintons treasonous activitys goes far beyond Chinagate.... YET, the silence from YOUR (and my) REPRESENTATIVES.... is like a fart in a Nunnery... raised eyebrows and clucking but NO simple "WHO FARTED"..
And some say there is no shadow government....
Oh! well, maybe Ann Coulter's new book will break the logjam of cowards in Congress.... Course, could be, conservatives don't want to know, that would require doing something, like jeopardizing their political careers.. That would'nt do... after all who would then be there to protect from Congressional treason.... Oh!, did I just make complete logical circle... damn... Happy voting 2004....
Wonder if the fix is in for the Hildebeast ?..YET. Hmmm
Have a nice day, more or less...
There is no doubt in my mind that treason was the reason that Monica took front the page for months and the Senate knew this so that spineless body did not vote to convict.
It is just because of articles like this the lefts voices are becoming louder and louder with baseless criticisms of President Bush as they continue to try to shout down their complicity in treason with the Clinton administration they are all culpable. Hillary doesnt want to lead America, she wants to rule America.
I can live with the disgrace.
It would be easier living with the disgrace, though, if he were put up against a wall and shot.
Good to see others who felt as I did. I was considered a crackpot at that time for saying this.
Congress was controlled, however, by those 900 FBI files. No way were they going to nail Clinton, without some of them going down too. It will take a generation to recover politically from the damage of the Clintons; let's not forget that Al Gore sold his soul too.
Starr know enough to steer the focus away from the Chinese. His law firm was a representative for them as I recall.
He was in on it also, dontcha think ?
Great insight. Woe unto us.
TG, check out Rocky's post.
And the last I've heard Clinton is going to start selling his cookbook. Who would've thought Clinton would be selling a cookbook and Martha Stuart would get indicted.
. . . Who would've thought Clinton would be selling a cookbook and Martha Stuart would get indicted.LOL !! No kidding. Funny.
"Think of the great following Martha has throughout the country - There's no telling how she's broadened my base today," President Bill Clinton said at the luncheon.
