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 !!

        I made the following transcript from a tape recording
        of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio Network station
               WBAI-FM (99.5)
               505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.
               New York, NY 10018       (212) 279-0707

MARK SWANEY:
        So they wanted to cover it up because it was the one thing
        that would have exposed the drug connection within the United
        States most heavily.  TWO: And the other reason that they were
        very anxious to cover up Mena's involvement was because the
        base of operations that the CIA was using was, in fact, still
        active at the time the hearings were going on. And that base
        of operations supports covert operations all around the world,
        not just in Central America.  For example, there's a current
        covert operation that was going on there at least as late as
        May of last year that killed a man from Arkansas and Angola.
        So the entire time that Barry Seal was operating out of that
        airport, the CIA was supporting their covert war with Jonas
        Savimbe and Manunita(sp) in Angola.  And we have sources within
        the United States Government saying that there is covert
        activity going on in it this very day.


PAUL DeRIENZO:
        Thank you very much, Mark Swaney. This is an amazing story, and
        the amazing thing about it is that this is the REAL story about
        Governor Bill Clinton and that what we're getting served to us
        from all the Media, from start to finish, from morning to night --
        headlines in all the New York papers -- is this thing about
        Governor Clinton and this woman Jennifer Flowers, and her
        association with the Governor, who is married for 14 years.

        The real story, which you get on WBAI, underneath it all, from our
        contacts in Arkansas, is that, in fact, the Governor of Arkansas
        is covering up an illegal operation that began in the office of
        the Vice-President of the United States, who is now the President
        of the United States -- George Herbert Walker Bush, of course --
        which makes me wonder why I should even bother voting.
        Who is there to vote for?  I mean, both sides, the Democrats and
        the Republicans are involved.

MARK SWANEY:
        That's another part of the story. You know that the best way to buy
        off an election is to pay off both candidates. There's significant
        Republican interest in seeing Bill Clinton get the nomination,
        from the standpoint that they will be assured then that none of
        the issues of the Iran-Contra Affair are likely to be talked about.
        Certainly, Clinton doesn't want to talk about them.

        We tried before we knew that Mr. Clinton was involved in this.
        We only came across this information five or six months ago, and
        for two years now we've been doing demonstrations, writing
        letters, collecting petitions, holding informational gatherings,
        to try to get this story to the people. And we have, on several
        occasions, sent Bill Clinton signatures, petitions of Arkansans
        asking for a state investigation. He refused to do anything
        about them. He would do nothing more than have an aide send us
        a two sentence letter saying we have received your petition.
        And then this last September, just one week before he decided to
        run for the Presidency, we contacted his office and said: "Listen,
        we'd be willing to talk to you or any one of your aides so that
        we could talk to you about this major crime problem in our state
        that we're concerned about, that we'd like to get to the bottom of."

        And he refused that.  During the four or five years now that
        the Press has covered this story about Mena and Barry Seal ....
        You know, this is a story about people who have been murdered!
        This is a very, very serious affair! And during all of this time,
        talk of massive cocaine smuggling, corruption of local officials,
        corruption of Federal and State judicial systems -- on and on.

        There was total silence from Governor Clinton.  Not a word!
        And it was not until our organization had a large demonstration
        (It wasn't really a large demonstration, but it was very well
        covered in the Arkansas Press)  that reporters approached
        Mr. Clinton about Mena. He talked about it for the first time in
        four or five years. And what he had to say at that time was that
        he had in fact authorized some money for lonely little Polk
        County, which is a poor county in Southwestern Arkansas, to run
        an investigation. And so we asked him for back-up from the
        Governor's office. We said: "By the Freedom of Information Act,
        we'd like to know if you have any documentation whatsoever
        to back up your statement that you are willing to help the
        Polk County investigators do their own state investigation
        in this affair."   And he could not produce a single thing.
                              (end of report)

     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.
