GEORGE WASHINGTON:
Gee, Ben, how come WE never thought of selling narcotics
to the American People and weapons to America's enemies?

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN:
Because in our day, George, they used to hang men for treason,
NOT elect them president !!

               From THE NATION Magazine, February 24, 1992:

                               (continuation)
        Reed, in a suit filed July 5, 1991, has charged the two with
        preparing and presenting false evidence for the purpose of
        furthering a false prosecution. We do know a number of things
        already. Buddy Young made his calls from Bill Clinton's mansion.
        Young and Baker have admitted to entering Reed's hangar three
        times without a warrant. They have admitted to tampering with
        the plane. When they finally did obtain a warrant, it was on
        the basis of misrepresentations. They subsequently made false
        statements to a federal grand jury as well as, on more than
        one occasion, in hearings related to United States vs. Reed.
        Finally, evidence that might have helped Reed's case was
        secreted in Young's office in Clinton's mansion when it was
        supposed to have been in federal court. A federal judge involved
        in the case, Frank Theis, declared that Baker and Young had
        acted with "reckless disregard for the truth." Reed was
        acquitted when the court determined that the government
        did not have enough legitimate evidence to convict him.
        Reed's lawyer, John Wesley Hall, told my colleague Bryce
        Hoffman that it is extremely unlikely that a police officer
        would ever be convicted of perjury in Arkansas.

        In early 1988, while his security chief was embroiled in the
        case against Reed, also while Lawrence Walsh was accumulating
        evidence for his prosecutions in the Iran/contra affair,
        Bill Clinton gave a job to another contra veteran recently
        returned from Honduras--Larry Nichols. As I described here
        two weeks ago, Nichols was set up with a job as director of
        marketing in the Arkansas Development Finance Authority.  Later
        in 1988, asked about this by a journalist, Clinton hastily
        fired Nichols. Seeking retribution, Nichols prepared a lawsuit,
        from whose allegations Star drew its story concerning
        Gennifer Flowers.

        As these allegations caught fire in January, Nichols confided
        --so a member of the Arkansas Committee in Fayetteville tells us
        --that Buddy Young had phoned to tell him as an old friend that
        if he kept this up he was "a dead man." On January 25, the night
        before Bill Clinton was scheduled to go before the nation on 60
        Minutes to deny an affair with Flowers, Nichols put his name to
        a statement crafted to discredit all his previous assertions,
        concluding that "in trying to destroy Clinton" it had turned out
        that "there's not a whole lot of difference between me and what
        the reporters are doing today."

        Final thought. If, in the old days, a gentleman had no secrets
        from his valet, a modern governor has no secrets from his
        personal security chief, particularly in the matter of making
        unofficial assignations.

        A telephone interview with Mark Swaney from "Faithful Arkansas",
        a citizens group, revealing Bill Clinton's and George Bush's
        partnership in the CIA's drug smuggling industry which for years
        has been funneling tons of narcotics through Mena, Arkansas
        and into the hands of America's youth.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
MARK SWANEY:
        ..... they set up a front company in Guadalajara, Mexico, the
        purpose of which, he [Terry Reed] was told, was to smuggle weapons              to the Contras in Central America. And he was to be the front man
        -- he was to provide the front cover for this company, but he
        was given to know that behind the scenes they [the CIA] would
        be using this company to smuggle weapons. So he was okay with
        that and he went down to Guadalajara and was down there until
        the summer of `87.  Actually, the plane was shot down in `86,
        so this operation in Mexico continued for a year after the
        Iran-Contra story was breaking, and that's something that a
        lot of people don't know. They think that Iran-Contra/Contra
        Resupply stopped when the revelations were made in '86, but
        they actually continued.

        Anyway, in the summer of `87, even as the hearings were going
        on in Congress, Terry Reed began to suspect they were using
        his front company for something other than smuggling weapons.
        And one day he was looking for a lathe in one of his warehouses
        by the airport there in Guadalajara, and he went in and opened
        up an air freight shipping container (which are very large;
        they're about 28 feet long, 7 feet high, 8 feet wide), and he
        found it packed full of cocaine when he opened it up. He immediately
        realized he was in a very precarious situation because he was
        the only one on paper who had anything to do with that company,
        and if they had ever gotten caught, there was nobody to stand
        up and say: "Well this guy didn't know anything." He was going
        to be a patsy if anything went wrong. So he decided he wasn't
        going to play the part of the patsy. The man who was his contact
        man for the CIA in Mexico was Felix Rodriquez. So he confronted
        Felix Rodriquez and said: "Well listen. I didn't bargain on getting
        into narcotics smuggling, and I'm out of this altogether, guys.
        I'm leaving now. I refuse to have anything further to do with
        this." And Felix Rodriquez said: "Okay, fine. If you want to be
        out, you're out." Now before he was able to return even to Little
        Rock, Arkansas where his home was at the time, Governor Clinton's
        Chief of Security, a man named Raymond Buddy Young, and
        another man, Tommy Baker, private investigator and, I'm told,
        former member of the Arkansas State Police, were framing
        Terry Reed for mail fraud. What this involved was the so-called
        Project Donation that Oliver North had set up.  Terry
        Reed's plane had been stolen a number of years earlier,
        and used in drug missions and such without his knowledge.
        And he claimed the insurance money for his plane being stolen.
        And so, to set him up, what they did was take the airplane
        and put it back in his hangar before he got back to Arkansas.
        Governor Clinton's Chief of Security just supposedly happened
        --and this is what he tells the press -- he says: "One day I
        just happened to be walking by this hangar, and the wind just
        happened to blow the door open and I just happened to look in
        and see this airplane that was stolen four years earlier in
        another state and I realized that was the plane." And so this
        is how the case got started.

PAUL DeRIENZO:
        How would he have known that was the plane?

MARK SWANEY:
        Oh, that's never been explained, along with a number of aspects
        in this famous story. We're in contact with Terry Reed's defense
        attorney in Wichita and she's promised to send us all of the
        documents. We have some of the documents already that indicate
        he would be found not guilty. Well, he never went to trial.


PAUL DeRIENZO:
        Is that the same Buddy Young, by the way, who's head of Governor
        Clinton's security detail?

MARK SWANEY:
        Yes, he is.

     This is one of countless stories unveiling the subverted, corrupt
     and fascistic state of our theoretically democratic Government.
     This story makes it disgustingly obvious that true patriotism is not
     the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless
     supporting of our Government, just because it happens to be ours.
     You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it.
     True patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
     in order that they may unite to conquer this anti-democratic cancer
     that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom.
     So please post the installments of this ongoing series to
     computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,
     both on and off campus.  That would be a truly patriotic deed.
