Nationwide Alert Focuses On Arkansas Document Centers On Fake IDs

POSTED: 8:02 a.m. CST March 7, 2002

FORT SMITH, Ark. -- A nationwide alert to police focuses on fake identification cards from Arkansas, 40/29 reported Wednesday.

40/29 obtained a document that could link the al-Qaida terrorist network to Little Rock.

The Feb. 27 document, which is from sources outside Arkansas, has been distributed to police chiefs nationwide.

The document said that a large number of fraudulent state of Arkansas identification documents and driver's licenses have been recovered at a subject's residence in Arkansas. The subject may have possible ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network.

The names on the fake identification cards have been put into a national database, with the coach of catching anyone who might use them.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice would not comment on the document's existence.

"The best thing to come out of Arkansas is I-40... "

Only if it were a loop with no exits.

Looks like to me, everything that ever came out of Arkansas is a fraud!

I don't know if we can make that claim for *everything* to come out of Arkansas, but it certainly applies to everything since Bill Clinton first got his grubby fingers on the keys to the Governor's mansion. Arkansas: America's "Nigeria". No offense to the Real Americans that reside there...

It is interesting the the home of Clinton, Ark. and the home of Gore, Tenn. are both places of activity for false IDs. < sarcasm > This is just a coincidence, of course. < /sarcasm >

There are people hanging out on street cornoers in downtown Los Angeles who for a modest price will get you any (false) documentation you want: driver's license, Social Security card, Green Card, employment card, etc.

The names on the fake identification cards have been put into a national database, with the coach [??] of catching anyone who might use them.

I don't get it. If there are names on the id cards, wouldn't this imply that they haven't been illegally sold yet? Do the id cards contain photos? Or is it possible (like in Tennessee) that they were going to close the loop with a corrupt state bureaucrat and put the duplicate (illegal) ids on file in the state files and database?

Thanks for the flag and thanks to the one who posted this alert.

They very likely had a state employee's bribed or coerced connivance, and may have had other supporting documentation, possibly including passports, using the same identies and descriptions or photos as on the driver's licenses, useful in those circumstances where a single ID document is insufficient, as in several states that no longer accept Tennessee driver's licenses as positive ID proof- Colorado being one of them, as I recall.

The national database mentioned is almost certainly the EPIC database maintained by DEA, INS, Customs, Coast Guard, ATF, FAA, USMS, FBI, IRS, Secret Service, Department of State, Department of the Interior, Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, and DOD, which is run through the El Paso Intelligence Center, and no relation to the activities found at epic.org.

What's even more amazing is that every single one of the suspected fake IDs has the name W.J. Clinton on it.

They've gotta have pictures, probably already digitized. Why not release the pics on the Internet?

Well this just heightens my wondering if the hit of the Tenn DMV wasn't simply by a terrorist related group, but rather someone trying to protect a far deeper racket.

Kinda reminds me of the Arkansas blood scandal.

Now you've done gone and hurt my feelings----A one party state breeds corruption. Arkansas is slowly digging out from democrat control of just about every aspect of life in this small state. We have a Republican govenor and senator and term limits got rid of some of the crooked state office holders. Years of entrenched politicians have eroded state governments throughout this country and Arkansas may be able to fix things a lot sooner and better than many of them. Our people are strong and hard working and have more common sense than the liberal east and west coast put together. The only real punishment Clinton got came from our courts. The whole US senate and tax paid institutions charged with judging Bill Clinton couldn't/wouldn't do the job. So much for the sophisticated elitists who govern us.

It's good to hear that Arkansas is recovering from the Clinton Crime Gang's abuse of that state for all those many years.

The point is here that it would not be surprising at all to learn that AlQuaida have network connections into Arkansas - being that Arkansas was home to the Mafia Crime Family headed by Bill and Hillary Clinton....and their cousins in the Dixie mafia.

Considering just who were the F.O.B.'s during their year of expanded crimes while residents in OUR White House, assorted gangsters, drug dealers, weapons smugglers, and Chinese Communist agents - along with kissy friendships with the likes of the PLO's Arafat and Sein Fein's Jerry Adams .......well - it just would not be a surprise to find out there are CONNECTIONS there, you know? Nothing against Arkansas. And, at least, now, the FBI have turned up this Little Rock source of fake documents.....linked to AlQuaida. Under the CLinton years in Arkansas and then in the White House, this "discovery" would never have been made - or made public.

Up here in Sacramento, there was a group that took over the parking lot of a strip mall for about a year while the police were "investigating". They would not allow anyone to park that was not there to to buy their fake id's. This was less than 1/2 mile from the local police station. They business was so good they had regular kiosks and operated with fixed business hours.

Maybe not his name - but perhaps the fingerprint of some people connected to some of his mafia gang???? who knows.
