Clinton in the shadow of treason

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.

Liberals are too stupid to know when they've been screwed.

God save us from the liberals. And Gods' wrath on the Clintons.

Congress was controlled, however, by those 900 FBI files.

Wonder what they had on Hatch?

This pencil-knecked geek has acted squirrely ever since the files were in the hands of the Klntonoids.

Perhaps someone can answer your question. SOmehow I doubt it. I even remember awhile back that his administration was continuing the sale of sensitive computer equipment to China. I bet Alamo girl would be able to answer this.

"I don't think America will be ready to have a democrat in the WH for many years to come."

Never say never, especially when it comes to American Politics.

If Republicans don't begin to listen to the issues affecting voters, the 2008 elections could be up for grabs.

The 2008 election season is beginning early, and from some angles it appears that Republican Party is trying to "out-Democrat" the Demonrats.

Ignoring illegal immigration, a willingness to sacrifice 2nd ammendment rights, a mindless march toward socialized medicine, and other left-wing ideals, appear to be components of the Republican Party's agenda.

I hope I am wrong... but, I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

<< mochtar riady, a member of the wealthy indonesian family controls the lippo Group – a giant indonesian banking and real estate conglomerate. these guys owned bill clinton in arkansas when he was govenor. >>

Riady is a chi-comm "Indonesian."

While KKKli'toon was still arkansas' attorney general, the Riady family and others of Peking's spies and agents, including "Charlie Trie" and "John Huang," compromised KKli'toon with carefully-documented, filmed and photographed truckloads of money, drugs and sexual misadventure.

KKKli'toon is far and away the worst traitor America has ever experienced.

The thing that amazes me was that we should have seen the signs when he announced shortly after taking office that he would run the most ethical administration in history. Got to give the man credit, he has hutzpah!!

We'd been better of if we had elected Professor Henry Hill.
