Clinton Gang's grand scheme called the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation - Friends of the Clinton's are on the run - FBI NSA DOJ on the Hunt, kind of..

Friends of the Clinton's, both Hillary and Bill Clinton friends and partners are now hiding in the shadows as the FBI Comey, NSA and the DOJ Department of Justice Lynch are looking at Hillary Clinton accomplices to the Clinton Gang's grand scheme called the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.  

"Grandma is going to jail" read one email leaked to the national media.  

To dispel the myth of Grandma Hillary Clinton, lets make one thing very clear.  Hillary and Bill Clinton have been selling information and government favors for decades.  The recent private computer server and email had kept the Clinton's safe for years as they gathered millions of dollars from foreign governments and possible foreign spy's, but now it's their own email trap door that has caught them.

Bill Clinton has given $500,000.00 speeches to the most brutal and totalitarian dictatorships on the planet.  These brutal governments have been tied directly to the Islamic Caliphate and Jihadist Terrorists that are killing thousands weekly.  

The Clinton's are famous for telling people what they want to hear and showing them what they want to see, it's the scheme that only Hollywood could script.  

Leave SAP Top Secret Documents on your private un-secured server and let people hack in and look around; Iran, China and Russia sneaks inside the Clinton server, takes a look, grabs hundreds of thousands of documents and then shuts the portal door.

The Bill and Hillary gang is a political machine, cash and carry government but the American legal system's lead man Comey with the FBI but being held back by Lynch DOJ will in time force Hillary Clinton to make an appearance in front of a federal judge.

The convicted perjurer Bill Clinton is on the campaign trail giving speeches to little groups as Hillary Clinton uses her faint prestige to become the president.

The Hillary Clinton campaign is fairly dull and losing ground.

The conditions for a Hillary Clinton arrest is not far off.

The DNC is trying everything to protect her since her release on the campaign trail.

Designed by the criminal architects Bill and Hillary Clinton they have agreed on mutual destruction, many decades ago. Yes, Hillary and Bill Clinton have enough evidence on each other to put their partners in prison for life.   Over the decades their paths have not changed as they accumulate power, influence, wealth and evidence against each other.  The Clinton Foundation  is asleep now because Hillary Clinton wants to become president of the United States but that trapped energy of wealth will be unleashed against enemies of the Clintons, once the voting is completed.  Hounded by law enforcement, including the FBI the Clintons living in their invisible empire look at each other knowing their deal is in place, arguing little the internal din of thieves has gained many members.  Learn about the history of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton and the worldwide glittering Clinton Foundation and their quivering sexual and wealth desires. 

Why does Hillary Clinton live with a rapist, some may ask?  

Hillary Clinton had a list of 26 women,  positive Bill had adulterous affairs with or who he had sexually assaulted. In the view of Hillary, 

these women were, at various times,

 “bitches,” 

“whores,” 

“sluts,” 

and, if they were a threat to talk, 

they were to be “destroyed.”

Why does Hillary Clinton pretend she is the champion of Women, abused women, raped women, sexually assaulted women, poor women, women that want to kill their babies, by abortion.  Was Hillary Rodham Clinton Hillary Clinton just another rape sexual assault victim of Bill Clinton like the others?  How has Bill Clinton got away from the law over the last 40 years?  Why has Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton not been failed for crimes and criminal activities for decades?  Who knows the truth about Hillary and Bill Clinton?

Hillary Rodham Clinton understands the mental instability of impeached X-President Bill Clinton - the husband.  The charges are very clear, Bill Clinton loves to have sex with women, he doesn't mind if they want to or not.  Everybody knows the story of the Monica Lewinsky Blue Dress and Bill Clinton's impeachment but now Americans are forced to ask the question; Why does Hillary Clinton live with a rapist.

Hillary Clinton is a progressive socialist and believes in the state and that the state should control everything, including you, from a centralized government like in Syria, Russian, North Korea, Cuba and other places.  Hillary Clinton believes that your money belongs to the state and she should have total control.  Bill Clinton believes the same thing and he wants back inside the White House. Donald Trump can stop the Clinton's and help you.

Women have been charging Bill Clinton with sexual assault since his days as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford 30 years ago.  When he left Oxford they told him not to come back so he went to Yale and continued his shadow rapes.  This is the man that let Americans die in Africa (Black Hawk Down) just like his wife did in (Benghazi) while Hillary Clinton sells secrets and favors for cash money donations to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.  This tradition of bait and switch, is the story of a rapist.  Say one thing and then jump your victims. 

Bill Clinton has a black child (Danny) with Bobbie Ann Williams, now living in South America and some say now lives in Australia,  after receiving a suitcase full of cash from Clinton operatives. She started talking to the press and then shut up after receiving the cash payment from the Clinton's.  Bill and Hillary understand how to bribe people and to accept bribes, that's how the Russians got their hands on U.S. mined uranium for Syria's nuclear weapons program, make Hillary Clinton Richer.... 

Bill Clinton is a drug and an abuser of women, Hillary Clinton knows this and also understands that people still love him.  The people that support Hillary and Bill Clinton are also criminals as all these facts are public record, regardless, radical liberals socialists and communists support Bill and Hillary Clinton.

A continuing investigation into the President's questionable sexual history reveal incidents that go back as far as Clinton's college days, with more than a dozen women claiming his sexual appetites leave little room for the word ''no.''  Bill and Hillary know that they can crush anybody at any time, so they do what they want and when they want.  The Clinton's are not afraid of you, your the next chicken to boil in their pot.

Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing home operator, told NBC's Lisa Myers five weeks ago she was raped by Clinton. NBC shelved the interview, saying they were confirming all parts of the story, but finally aired it Wednesday night.

Broaddrick finally took her story to The Wall Street Journal, which published her account of the brutal rape at the hands of the future President, followed by The Washington Post and some other publications.

But Capitol Hill Blue has confirmed that Broaddrick's story is only one account of many attempted and actual sexual assaults by Clinton that go back 30 years. Among the other incidents:

Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton sexually assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford where the future President was a student in 1969. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue the case;

In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the incident. The woman, tracked down by Capitol Hill Bluelast week, confirmed the incident, but declined to discuss it further and would not give permission to use her nam

In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. She complained to her faculty advisor who confronted Clinton, but Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him.

The student left the school shortly after the incident. Reached at her home in Texas, the former student confirmed the incident, but declined to go on the record with her account. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and said there were other reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students;

Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's gubernatorial campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick suffered a bruised and torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape;

From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor were aware of at least seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually.

One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was "who's next?". One former state trooper said other troopers would often escort women to the governor's hotel room after political events, often more than one an evening;

Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met then-governor Clinton at a political fundraiser and shortly thereafter received an invitation to meet the governor in his hotel room. "I was escorted there by a state trooper. When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn't even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room."

Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen (from her first marriage), told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. Close friends of Ward, however, say she still maintains privately that Clinton forced himself on her.

Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with an $850,000 cash payment.

Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. 

When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington. Reached at her home last week, the former Miss James said she later learned that other women suffered the same fate at Clinton's hands when he was in Washington during his Presidential run.

Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton's leased campaign plane in 1992, says Presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself to her, grabbed her breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. A video shot on board the plane by ABC News shows an obviously inebriated Clinton with his hand between another young flight attendant's legs. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.

Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.

In an interview with Capitol Hill Blue, the retired State Department employee said he believed the story Miss Wellstone, the young English woman who said Clinton raped her in 1969.

''There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma,'' he said. ''But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it.''

Miss Wellstone, who is now married and lives near London, confirmed the incident when contacted this week, but refused to discuss the matter further. She said she would not go public with further details of the attack. Afterwards, she changed her phone number and hired a barrister who warned a reporter to stay away from his client.

In his book, Unlimited Access, former FBI agent Gary Aldrich reported that Clinton left Oxford University for a "European Tour" in 1969 and was told by University officials that he was no longer welcome there. Aldrich said Clinton's academic record at Oxford was lackluster. Clinton later accepted a scholarship for Yale Law School and did not complete his studies at Oxford.

The State Department official who investigated the incident said Clinton's interests appeared to be drinking, drugs and sex, not studies.

"I came away from the incident with the clear impression that this was a young man who was there to party, not study," he said.

Oxford officials refused comment. The State Department also refused to comment on the incident. A Freedom of Information request filed by Capitol Hill Blue failed to turn up any records of the incident.

Capitol Hill Blue also spoke with the former Miss James, the Washington fundraiser who confirmed the encounter with Clinton at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, but first said she would not appear publicly because anyone who does so is destroyed by the Clinton White House.

''My husband and children deserve better than that,'' she said when first contacted two weeks ago. 

After reading the Broaddrick story Friday, however, she called back and gave permission to use her maiden name, but said she had no intention of pursuing the matter.

"I wasn't raped, but I was trapped in a hotel room for a brief moment by a boorish man," she said. "I got away. He tried calling me several times after that, but I didn't take his phone calls. Then he stopped. I guess he moved on."

But Miss James also retreated from public view this week after other news organizations contacted her.

The former Miss Moffet, the legal secretary who says Clinton tried to force her into oral sex in 1979, has since married and left the state. She says that when she told her boyfriend, who was a lawyer and supporter of Clinton, about the incident, he told her to keep her mouth shut.

"He said that people who crossed the governor usually regretted it and that if I knew what was good for me I'd forget that it ever happened," she said. "I haven't forgotten it. You don't forget crude men like that."

Like two other women, the former Miss Moffet declined further interviews. A neighbor said she had received threatening phone calls.

The other encounters were confirmed with more than 30 interviews with retired Arkansas state employees, former state troopers and former Yale and University of Arkansas students. Like others, they refused to go public because of fears of retaliation from the Clinton White House.

Likewise, the mainstream media has shied away from the Broaddrick story. Initially, only The Drudge Report and other Internet news sites have actively pursued it. Since initial publication of this story, a few mainstream media outlets have expressed interest in interviewing the women.

The White House did not return calls for comment. White House attorney David Kendall has issued a public denial of the Broaddrick rape.

Take, for example, Hillary’s recent pledge, as reported by Ruby Cramer, to crack down on campus rape and her encouraging words to sexual assault survivors: “Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard … to be believed. And we’re with you.” 

In fact, we argue, Hillary Clinton has enabled rape and denigrated sex victims.

Ironically, Bill Clinton’s first alleged rape was of a 19-year-old coed named Eileen Wellstone. We believe that he was not prosecuted because the State Department did not want a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape.

Hillary is the woman who has been in an arguably sham marriage and a cynical political union with Bill Clinton for 41 years. Hillary was the one who was hiring private detectives, such as Ivan Duda, since 1982 so that she could get the names and addresses of Bill’s girlfriends so that she could “get rid of all these bitches he’s seeing.”

This is the same woman who was allegedly fully aware of Bill’s 1978 alleged rape of campaign volunteer Juanita Broaddrick in real time. As we reveal in The Clintons’ War on Women, according to former Clinton insider Larry Nichols, Hillary came running into the Clinton HQ and said, “You won’t believe what the motherf___r [Bill] just did. He tried to rape some bitch!”  That blockbuster quote is just one of many things in the book that the MSM has carefully tried to keep out of your eyesight.

The book is about Bill Clinton’s long history of allegedly raping and sexually assaulting women and Hillary’s long history of allegedly psychologically raping these women in the aftermath in order to silence them lest they interfere with the Clintons’ rise to power.

Bill Clinton supposedly did not just rape Juanita; he allegedly, according to Candice Jackson in Their Lives: The Women Targeted By The Clinton Machine, bit and nearly tore off her upper lip and raped her a second time as she lay frozen on the bed. Bill’s alleged words before he began again were, “My God, I can do it again.”

Hillary believes that rape and sexual assault victims have rights. That is the “right to remain silent,” especially if Bill has allegedly assaulted you, because anything you say “can and will be used against you” by Hillary and Bill Clinton. 

A few weeks after Bill had allegedly raped and bitten Juanita, Hillary encountered Juanita at a campaign event in the home of a Clinton supporter. Hillary, in cover-up mode, had only one concern, according to Jaunita: keeping Broaddrick quiet during Bill’s race for the governorship in 1978. Juanita described the scene in a 2000 open letter to Hillary:

As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying “we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill.” At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You said, “Everything you do for Bill.” You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering.

In other words: keep quiet about what Bill did to you!

By 1992, according to Gail Sheehy in the book Hillary’s Choice, cuckold Hillary and Betsey Wright had a list of 26 women they were positive Bill had adulterous affairs with or who he had sexually assaulted. In the view of Hillary, these women were, at various times, “bitches,” “whores,” “sluts,” and, if they were a threat to talk, they were to be “destroyed.”

Years later, when journalist Melanie Morgan was quizzing him about his role in the 1997 terror campaign to silence Clinton victim Kathleen Willey, private detective Jack Palladino’s alleged cocky answer (though he denies ever making the statement) was, “The only regret that I had about the whole thing was that Hillary did not pay me in a timely fashion… I saved Hillary Clinton’s ass. You’d think she’d be more grateful to me.”

ARKANSAS MEMORIES

THE REAL CLINTON story is a fascinating one of a mobbed-up politician from a drug-infested southern state in the control of the Dixie Mafia, a far more deadly institution than its New York counterpart. Little of this came through because the media immediately created a mythological Bill and Hillary saga that overwhelmed the facts. What follows are excerpts from our timeline of interesting and little known events prior to Clinton taking office as president. It gives a sense of the real story that voters were denied:

1950s

When Bill Clinton is 7, his family moves from Hope, Arkansas, to the long-time mob resort of Hot Springs, AR. Here Al Capone is said to have had permanent rights to suite 443 of the Arlington Hotel.

 Clinton's stepfather is a gun-brandishing alcoholic who loses his Buick franchise through mismanagement and his own pilfering. He physically abuses his family, including the young Bill. His mother is a heavy gambler with mob ties.

According to FBI and local police officials, his Uncle Raymond -- to whom young Bill turns for wisdom and support -- is a colorful car dealer, slot machine owner and gambling operator, who thrives (except when his house is firebombed) on the fault line of criminality.

Virginia Kelly, Clinton's mother: "Hot Springs was so different. We had wide-open gambling, for one thing, and it was so wide open that it never occurred to me that it was illegal - it really didn't - until it came to a vote about whether we were going to legalize gambling or not. I never was so shocked."

1960s

A federal investigation concludes that Hot Springs has the largest illegal gambling operations in the United States.

Clinton goes to Georgetown University where he finds a mentor in Professor Carroll Quigley. Quigley writes: "That the two political parties should represent opposed ideals and policies. . . is a foolish idea.

Instead, the two parties should be almost identical . . .The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in detail, procedure, priority, or method."

Bill Clinton, according to several agency sources interviewed by biographer Roger Morris, works as a CIA informer while briefly and erratically a Rhodes Scholar in England.

Although without visible means of support, he travels around Europe and the Soviet Union, staying at the ritziest hotel in Moscow.

During this period the US government is using well educated assets such as Clinton as part of Operation Chaos, a major attempt to break student resistance to the war and the draft. According to former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich Clinton is told by Oxford officials that he is no longer welcome there.

After becoming involved in politics, Wellesley graduate Hillary Rodham orders her senior thesis sealed from public view.

1974

27 year old Clinton, only months out of Yale Law School, is back in Arkansas eager to run for Congress.

Roger Morris writes later, "A relative unknown, he faces an imposing field of rivals in the Democratic primary, and beyond, in the general election, a powerful Republican incumbent. . .

 It begins with a quiet meeting at his mother's house in Hot Springs. Around the kitchen table, as Virginia Clinton will describe the scene, avid young Billy meets with two of his most crucial early backers -- uncle Raymond G. Clinton, a prosperous local Buick dealer, and family friend and wealthy businessman Gabe Crawford. As they talk, Mr. Crawford offers the candidate unlimited use of his private plane, and uncle Raymond not only provides several houses around the district to serve as campaign headquarters, but will secure a $10,000 loan to Bill from the First National Bank of Hot Springs - an amount then equal to the yearly income of many Arkansas families. . .

No mere businessman with a spare plane, Gabe Crawford presided over a backroom bookie operation that was one of Hot Springs' most lucrative criminal enterprises.

And the inimitable uncle Raymond - who had also played a pivotal behind-the-scenes role in keeping young Bill out of the Vietnam draft - was far more than an auto dealer.

In the nationally prominent fount of vice and corruption that was Hot Springs from the 1920s to the 1980s (its barely concealed casinos generated more income than Las Vegas well into the 1960s), the uncle's Buick agency and other businesses and real estate were widely thought to be facades for illegal gambling, drug money laundering and other ventures, in which Raymond was a partner.

He was a minion of the organized crime overlord who controlled the American Middle South for decades, New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello or "Mafia Kingfish" as his biographer John Davis called him.

1976

Two Indonesian billionaires come to Arkansas. Mochtar Riady and Liem Sioe Liong are close to Suharto. Riady is looking for an American bank to buy. Finds Jackson Stephens with whom he forms Stephens Finance. Stephens will broker the arrival of BCCI to this country and steer BCCI's founder, Hassan Abedi, to Bert Lance.

1977

Apparently because of pressure from Indonesia, Riady withdraws his bid to buy Lance's 30% share of the National Bank of Georgia. Instead, a BCCI front man buys the shares and Abedi moves to secretly take over Financial General -

later First American Bankshares --

later the subject of the only BCCI-connected scandal to be prosecuted in the US.

1978

Clinton is elected governor. The Clintons and McDougals buy land in the Ozarks for $203,000 with mostly borrowed funds. The Clintons get 50% interest with no cash down.

The 203 acre plot, known as Whitewater, is fifty miles from the nearest grocery store.

 The Washington Post will report later that some purchasers of lots, many of them retirees, "put up houses or cabins, others slept in vans or tents, hoping to be able to live off the land." More than half of the purchasers will lose their plots thanks to the sleazy form of financing used.

Two months after commencing the Whitewater scam, Hillary Clinton invests $1,000 in cattle futures.

Within a few days she has a $5,000 profit.

Before bailing out she earns nearly $100,000 on her investment.

Many years later, several economists will calculate that the chances of earning such returns legally were one in 250 million.

Bill Clinton's mother hangs out at the race track with mobsters and other local figures, including Dan Lasater who breeds race horses in Kentucky and Florida and has a box at the track next to hers. Mrs. Clinton introduces Lasater to Roger Clinton.

Roger Clinton develops a four-gram a day cocaine habit, getting his stuff from New York and Medellin suppliers, based (as one middleman will later testify) on "who his brother was." Sharlene Wilson is one of his dealers. Dan Lasater will give Roger work and loan him $8,000 to pay off a drug debt.

1979

Sharlene Wilson will testify in a 1990 federal drug probe that she began selling cocaine to Roger Clinton as early as this year. She will also tell reporters that she sold two grams of cocaine to Clinton's brother at the Little Rock nightclub Le Bistro, then witnessed Bill Clinton consume the drug.

"I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wall," Wilson reveals to the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in 1995. "He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot." Drug prosecutor Jean Duffey will say that she has no doubt that Wilson was telling the truth.

Arkansas becomes a major center of gun-running, drugs and money laundering. The IRS warns other law enforcement agencies of the state's "enticing climate." According to Clinton biographer Roger Morris, operatives go into banks with duffel bags full of cash, which bank officers then distribute to tellers in sums under $10,000 so they don't have to report the transaction.

Sharlene Wilson, according to investigative reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, flies cocaine from Mena to a pickup point in Texas. Other drugs, she and others say, are stuffed into chickens for shipping around the country. Wilson also serves as "the lady with the snow" at "toga parties" attended, she reports, by Bill Clinton.

Investor's Business Daily would later write, "Sally Perdue, a former Miss Arkansas and Little Rock talk show host who said she had an affair with then-Gov. Clinton in 1983, told the London Sunday Telegraph that he once came over to her house with a bag full of cocaine. "He had all the equipment laid out, like a real pro."

In the 1990s, Genifer Flowers tells Sean Hannity's WABC talk radio show: "Bill clearly let me know that he did cocaine. And I know people that knew he did cocaine. He did tell me that when he would use a substantial amount of cocaine that his head would itch so badly that he would become self conscious at parties where he was doing this. Because all he wanted to do while people were talking to him is stand around and scratch his head. ...."

Two Arkansas state troopers will swear under oath that they have seen Clinton "under the influence" of drugs when he was governor.

Hillary Clinton makes a $44,000 profit on a $2,000 investment in a cellular phone franchise deal that involves taking advantage of the FCC's preference for locals, minorities and women.

The franchise is almost immediately flipped to the cellular giant, McCaw.

A drug pilot brings a Cessna 210 full of cocaine into eastern Arkansas where he is met by his pick-up: a state trooper in a marked police car. "Arkansas," the pilot will recall years later, "was a very good place to load and unload."

According to his wife, security operative Jerry Parks delivers large sums of money from Mena airport to Vince Foster at a K-Mart parking lot. Mrs. Parks discovers this when she opens her car trunk one day and finds so much cash that she has to sit on the trunk to close it again. She asks her husband whether he is dealing drugs, and he allegedly explains that Foster paid him $1,000 for each trip he took to Mena.

Parks said he didn't "know what they were doing, and he didn't care to know.

He told me to forget what I'd seen.". . . .Later Ambrose Evans-Pritchard will write, "Foster was using him as a kind of operative to collect sensitive information on things and do sensitive jobs.

Some of this appears to have been done on behalf of Hillary Clinton. . . Foster told him that Hillary wanted it done. Now, my understanding . . . is that she wanted to know how vulnerable he would be in a presidential race on the question of -- how shall I put it? -- his appetites."

In 1993, on the night before Vince Foster's death, Parks' wife claims she hears a heated conversation between her husband and Foster in which Parks says,

"You can't give Hillary those files, they've got my name all over them." Parks will be gunned down two months after Foster's death in his car outside of Little Rock.

Parks is shot through the rear window of his car and shot three more times, thru the side window, with a 9mm pistol.

Parks was running American Contract Services, the business which supplied bodyguards for Clinton during his presidential campaign and the following transition. Bill Clinton still owed him $81,000. Parks had collected detailed data on Clinton's sexual escapades, including pictures and dates. Mrs. Pariks claims federal agents subsequently removed files and computer.

1980

Bill Clinton loses re-election as governor.

He will win two years later.

Larry Nichols will tell the George Putman Show in 1998 that he had met with Clinton and Jackson Stephen's brother Witt and that Witt had told Clinton that the Stephens were ready to back him for another run at the governorship but that he had to "dry out on the white stuff."

There are reports that following his loss,

Clinton ended up in the hospital for a drug overdose.

Journalist R. Emmett Tyrrell later asked emergency room workers at the University of Arkansas Medical Center if they could confirm the incident. He didn't get a flat "no" from the hospital staff.

One nurse said, "I can't talk about that." Another said she feared for her life if she spoke of the matter.

Newsmax will report: "Dr. Sam Houston, a respected Little Rock physician and once a doctor for Hillary's cantankerous father, Hugh Rodham, says it is well known in Little Rock medical circles that Clinton was brought to a Little Rock hospital for emergency treatment for an apparent cocaine overdose.

According to Houston, who told us he spoke to someone intimately familiar with the details of what happened that night, Clinton arrived at the hospital with the aid of a state trooper. Hillary Clinton had been notified by phone and had instructed the hospital staff that Clinton's personal physician would be arriving soon. When Mrs. Clinton arrived, she told both of the resident physicians on duty that night that they would never practice medicine in the United States if word leaked out about Clinton's drug problem. Reportedly, she pinned one of the doctors up against the wall, both hands pressed against his shoulders, as she gave her dire warning."

According to Jim McDougal's later account, he and Henry Hamilton, "developed a system to pass money to Clinton," then governor of Arkansas. "I considered it just another way of helping to take care of Bill. A contractor agreed to pad my monthly construction bill by $2,000. The contractor put the figure on his invoice as a cost for gravel or culvert work. After I paid the full amount ... the contractor reimbursed me the $2,000.

I turned the money over to Henry to give to Clinton. Once, after I handed Henry his latest consignment of 20 hundred-dollar bills to relay to the governor's office, he turned the bills over and over in one hand, like a magician. Henry grinned. `You know,' he said, `Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First had Cromwell. Clinton could profit from these examples if he crosses us.'"

1981

Hillary Clinton writes Jim McDougal: "If Reaganomics works at all, Whitewater could become the Western Hemisphere's Mecca."

Major drug trafficker Barry Seal, under pressure from the Louisiana cops, relocates his operations to Mena, Arkansas.

Seal is importing as much as 1,000 pounds of cocaine a month from Colombia according to Arkansas law enforcement officials.

He will claim to have made more than $50 million out of his operations.

As an informant Seal testified that in 1980-81, before moving his operation to Arkansas, he made approximately 60 trips to Central America and brought back 18,000 kilograms.

According to the Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, "Larry Patterson, an Arkansas state trooper, testified under oath that there were 'large quantities of drugs being flown into the Mena airport, large quantities of money, large quantities of guns.' The subject was discussed repeatedly in Clinton's presence by state troopers working on his security detail, he alleged. Patterson said the governor 'had very little comment to make; he was just listening to what was being said.'"

Mena state police investigator Russell Welch will later describe the airport, pointing to one hanger he says is owned by a man who "doesn't exist in history back past a safe house in Baltimore in 1972." Another is owned by someone who "smuggled heroin through Laos back in the seventies." Still another is "owned by a guy who just went bankrupt. So what's he do? Flies to Europe for more money." Welch points to a half dozen Fokker aircraft parked on an apron, noting that "the DEA's been tracking those planes back and forth to Columbia for a while now."

1982

A DEA report uncovered by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard will cite an informant claiming that a famous Arkansas figure and backer of Clinton "smuggles cocaine from Colombia, South America, inside race horses to Hot Springs."

IRS agent William Duncan and an Arkansas State Police investigator take their evidence concerning drug trafficking in Mena to US Attorney Asa Hutchinson.

They ask for 20 witnesses to be subpoenaed before the grand jury.

Hutchinson chooses only three.

According to reporter Mara Leveritt, "The three appeared before the grand jury, but afterwards, two of them also expressed surprise at how their questioning was handled.

One, a secretary at Rich Mountain Aviation, had given Duncan sworn statements about money laundering at the company, transcripts of which Duncan had provided to Hutchinson.

But when the woman left the jury room, she complained that Hutchinson had asked her nothing about the crime or the sworn statements she'd given to Duncan.

As Duncan later testified, 'She basically said that she was allowed to give her name, address, position, and not much else.'

The other angry witness was a banker who had, in Duncan's words, 'provided a significant amount of evidence relating to the money-laundering operation.' According to Duncan, he, too, emerged from the jury room complaining 'that he was not allowed to provide the evidence that he wanted to provide to the grand jury.'"

Financial General changes its name to First American and Clark Clifford is appointed chairman. BCCI fronts begin acquiring controlling interest in banks and other American financial institutions. In Arkansas, Jim McDougal purchases Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan.

1983

According to a later account in the Tampa Tribune, planes flying drugs into Mena in coolers marked "medical supplies" are met by several people close to then-Governor Bill Clinton.

1984

Stevens and Riady buy a banking firm and change its name to Worthern Bank with Riady's 28-year-old son James as president. Other Worthen co-owners will eventually include BCCI investor Abdullah Taha Bakhish.

Foreshadowing future Wall Street interest in Clinton, Goldman Sachs, Payne Webber, Salomon Brothers and Merrill Lynch all show up as financial backers of the governor. Also on the list: future king-maker Pam Harriman. But Bill Clinton's funders include not only some of the biggest corporate names ever to show an interest in the tiny state of Arkansas but some of the most questionable. A former US Attorney will later tell Roger Morris, "That was the election when the mob really came into Arkansas politics. . . It wasn't just Bill Clinton and it went beyond our old Dixie Mafia. . . This was eastern and west coast crime money that noticed the possibilities just like the legitimate corporations did."

Dan Lasater buys a ski resort in New Mexico for $20 million and uses Clinton's name (with permission) to promote it. Later, a US Customs investigative report will note that the resort is being used for drug operations and money laundering. Lasater also flies to Belize with his aide Patsy Thomasson to buy a 24,000 acre ranch. Among those present at the negotiations is the US Ambassador. The deal falls through because of the opposition of the Belize government.

A private contractor for Arkansas' prison system stops selling prisoners' blood to a Canadian broker and elsewhere overseas after admitting the blood might be contaminated with the AIDS virus or hepatitis. Sales of prisoners' blood in US are already forbidden.

Tens of thousands of dollars in mysterious checks begin moving through Whitewater's account at Madison Guaranty. Investigators will later suspect that McDougal was operating a check-kiting scheme to drain money from the S&L

Hot Springs police record Roger Clinton during a cocaine transaction. Roger says, "Got to get some for my brother. He's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner." Roger is arrested while working at menial jobs for Arkansas "bond daddy" Dan Lasater.

Barry Seal estimates that he has earned between $60 and $100 million smuggling cocaine into the US, but with the feds closing in on him, Barry Seal flies from Mena to Washington in his private Lear Jet to meet with two members of Vice President George Bush's drug task force. 

Following the meeting, Seal rolls over for the DEA, becoming an informant. He collects information on leaders of the Medellin cartel while still dealing in drugs himself. The deal will be kept secret from investigators working in Louisiana and Arkansas. According to reporter Mara Leveritt, "By Seal's own account, his gross income in the year and a half after he became an informant - while he was based at Mena and while Asa Hutchinson was the federal prosecutor in Fort Smith, 82 miles away - was three-quarters of a million dollars. Seal reported that $575,000 of that income had been derived from a single cocaine shipment, which the DEA had allowed him to keep. Pressed further, he testified that, since going to work for the DEA, he had imported 1,500 pounds of cocaine into the U.S. Supposed informant Seal will fly repeatedly to Colombia, Guatemala, and Panama, where he meets with Jorge Ochoa, Fabio Ochoa, Pablo Escobar, and Carlos Lehder - leaders of the cartel that at the time controlled an estimated 80 percent of the cocaine entering the United States."

Ronald Reagan wants to send the National Guard to Honduras to help in the war against the Contras. Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis goes to the Supreme Court in a futile effort to stop it but Clinton is happy to oblige, even sending his own security chief, Buddy Young, along to keep an eye on things. 

Winding up its tour, the Arkansas Guard declares large quantities of its weapons "excess" and leaves them behind for the Contras.

Clinton bodyguard, state trooper LD Brown, applies for a CIA opening. Clinton gives him help on his application essay including making it more Reaganesque on the topic of the Nicaragua. According to Brown, he meets a CIA recruiter in Dallas whom he later identities as former member of Vice President Bush's staff. On the recruiter's instruction, he meets with notorious drug dealer Barry Seal in a Little Rock restaurant. Joins Seal in flight to Honduras with a purported shipment of M16s and a return load of duffel bags. Brown gets $2,500 in small bills for the flight. Brown, concerned about the mission, consults with Clinton who says,

 "Oh, you can handle it, don't sweat it." On second flight, Brown finds cocaine in a duffel bag and again he seeks Clinton's counsel. Clinton says to the conservative Brown, "Your buddy, Bush, knows about it" and of the cocaine, "that's Lasater's deal."

1985

Arkansas state pension funds -- deposited in Worthen by Governor Bill Clinton -- suddenly lose 15% of their value because of the failure of high risk, short-term investments and the brokerage firm that bought them. The $52 million loss is covered by a Worthen check written by Jack Stephens in the middle of the night, an insurance policy, and the subsequent purchase over the next few months of 40% of the bank by Mochtar Riady. Clinton and Worthen escape a major scandal.

Mochtar and James Riady engineer the takeover of the First National Bank of Mena in a town of 5,000 with few major assets beyond a Contra supply base plus drug running and money-laundering operations.

Terry Reed is asked to take part in Operation Donation, under which planes and boats needed by the Contras "disappear," allowing owners to claim insurance. Reed has been a Contra operative and CIA asset working with Felix Rodriguez, the Contra link to the CIA and then-Vice President Bush's office. Reed later claims he refused, but that his plane was removed while he was away.

Park on Meter, a parking meter manufacturer in Russellville, Arkansas, receives the first industrial development loan from the Arkansas Development Finance Authority in 1985. Some suspect that POM is doing a lot more than making parking meters -- specifically that it has secret federal contracts to make components of chemical and biological weapons and devices to carry them on C-130s for the Contras. The company later denies the Contra connection although it will admit having secret military contracts. Web Hubbell is the company's lawyer. Right next to POM, on land previously owned by it, is an Army reserve chemical warfare company.

An independent investigator will later find evidence of an electronic transfer of $50 million from the Arkansas Development Financial Authority to a bank in the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman has a population of 18,000, 570 commercial banks, one bank regulator and a bank secrecy law. It is a favorite destination spot for laundered drug money.

Asa Hutchinson leaves the US Attorney's office to make an unsuccessful bid for US Senate. According to police sources, Hutchinson had been aware of what was happening at Mena and the investigation into it, but did nothing. Hutchinson is replaced by Mike Fitzhugh who is reluctant to let investigators Russell Welch of the state police and William Duncan of the IRS present evidence of money-laundry to a grand jury.

1986

Journalist Evans-Pritchard will describe the Arkansas of this period as a "major point for the transshipment of drugs" and "perilously close to becoming a 'narco-republic' -- a sort of mini-Columbia within the borders of the United States." There is "an epidemic of cocaine, contaminating the political establishment from top to bottom," with parties "at which cocaine would be served like hors d'oeuvres and sex was rampant." Clinton attends some of these events.

On January 17, the U. S. Attorney for the Western District drops a money laundering and narcotics-conspiracy charges against associates of drug smuggler Barry Seal over the protests of investigators Russell Welch of the state police and Bill Duncan of the Internal Revenue.

Seal is scheduled to testify at the trial of Jorge Ochoa Vasques. But on February 19, shortly before the trial is to begin, Seal is murdered in Baton Rouge gangland style by three Colombian hitmen armed with machine guns who attack while he seated behind the wheel of his white Cadillac in Baton Rouge, La. The Colombians, connected with the Medellin drug cartel, are tried and convicted. Upon hearing of Seal's murder, one DEA agent says, "There was a contract out on him, and everyone knew it. He was to have been a crucial witness in the biggest case in DEA history."

Eight months after the murder, Seal's cargo plane is shot down over Nicaragua. It is carrying ammunition and other supplies for the Contras from Mena. One crew member, Eugene Hasenfus, survives.

The attorney general of Louisiana tells US Attorney General Ed Meese that drug trafficker Barry Seal has smuggled drugs into the US worth $3-$5 billion.

1987

Two boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, are killed in Saline County and left on a railroad track to be run over by a train. The medical examiner will initially rule the deaths accidental, saying that the boys were unconscious and in a deep sleep due to marijuana. The finding will be punctured by dogged investigators whose efforts are repeatedly blocked by law enforcement officials. 

Ultimately, the bodies will be exhumed and another autopsy will be performed, which finds that Henry had been stabbed in the back and Ives beaten with a rifle butt. Although no one will ever be charged, the trail will lead into the penumbra of the Dixie Mafia and the Arkansas political machine. Some believe the boys died because they accidentally intercepted a drug drop, but information obtained by the Progressive Review suggests the drop may have dispensed not drugs but cash, gold and platinum -- part of a series of sorties through which those working with US intelligence were being reimbursed. According to one version, the boys were blamed in order to cover up the theft of the drop by persons within the Dixie Mafia and Arkansas political machine. Ives' mother will later charge that high state and federal officials participated in a cover-up: "I firmly believe my son and Don Henry were killed because they witnessed a drug drop by an airplane connected to the Mena drug smuggling routes."

Prosecutor Jean Duffey will later tell a talk show host in answer to whether law enforcement people were involved in the train death murders: "I believe the law enforcement agents were connected to some very high political people because they have never been brought to justice and I don't think they ever will be. I think they are protected to avoid exposing the connection. . . There have been several murders of potential witnesses. Anyone who could have solved this murder many years ago has been systematically eliminated."

Nine persons reportedly having information on the Ives-Henry murders will end up dead themselves.

1988

Charles Black, a prosecutor for Polk County, which includes Mena, meets with Governor Clinton and asks for assistance in a probe of illegal activities. "His response," Mr. Black will tell CBS News later, "was that he would get a man on it and get back to me. I never heard back."

Following pressure from then-Arkansas Rep. Bill Alexander, the General Accounting Office opens a probe in April 1988; within four months, the inquiry is shut down by the National Security Council, according to a later report by Micah Morrison of the Wall Street Journal. Several congressional subcommittee inquiries sputter and stop.

1989

What will later be known as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy begins on the left as a group of progressive students at the University of Arkansas form the Arkansas Committee to look into Mena, drugs, money laundering, and Arkansas politics.

1990

Drug distributor Dan Lasater is pardoned by Governor Clinton after serving just six months in jail and four in a halfway house on minor charges. One law enforcement official will describe the investigation into Lasater's operations as "either a high dive or extremely unprofessional. Take your pick." The alleged reason for the pardon: so Lasater can get a hunting license. Lasater returns to his 7,400 acre ranch in Saline County.

1991

An IRS memorandum reveals that even at this late date "the CIA still has ongoing operations out of the Mena, AR airport."

Arkansas State Police investigator Russell Welch, who has been working with IRS investigator Bill Duncan on drug running and money laundering at Mena, develops pneumonia-like symptoms. The Washington Weekly described the incident in 1996: "On the weekend of September 21, 1991, Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch met with IRS Investigator Bill Duncan to write a report on their investigation of Mena drug smuggling and money laundering and send it to Iran-Contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh.. Returning to Mena on Sunday, Welch told his wife that he didn't feel too well. He thought he had gotten the flu . . . In Fort Smith a team of doctors were waiting. Dr. Calleton had called them twice while Welch was in transport and they had been in contact with the CDC. Later the doctor would tell Welch's wife that he was on the edge of death. He would not have made it through the night had he not been in the hospital. He was having fever seizures by now. 

A couple of days after Welch had been admitted to St. Edwards Mercy Hospital, his doctor was wheeling him to one of the labs for testing when she asked him if he was doing anything at work that was particularly dangerous. He told her that he had been a cop for about 15 years and that danger was probably inherent with the job description. She told Welch that they believed he had anthrax. She said the anthrax was the military kind that is used as an agent of biological warfare and that it was induced. Somebody had deliberately infected him. She added that they had many more tests to run but they had already started treating him for anthrax."

While in Washington, D.C., where he holds a permit to carry a gun, IRS agent and Mena drug investigator Bill Duncan is arrested for weapons possession (his service revolver), roughed up and handcuffed to a pipe in the basement of a DC police station. After the incident he is taken off of the Mena investigation. Later, when he is asked to falsify testimony for a Federal Grand Jury, he refuses and is fired on the spot.

State Attorney General Winston Bryant and Arkansas Rep. Bill Alexander send two boxes of Mena files to special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh. Bryant says the boxes contain "credible evidence of gunrunning, illegal drug smuggling, money laundering and the governmental cover-up and possibly a criminal conspiracy in connection with the Mena Airport." Seventeen months later, Walsh writes Bryant a letter saying, without explanation, that he had closed his investigation. Says Alexander later, "The feds dropped the ball and covered it up. I have never seen a whitewash job like this case."

Dan Harmon becomes the new prosecuting attorney in the district responsible for the train deaths investigation. Harmon's drug investigator Jean Duffey is discredited, threatened and ultimately has to flee Arkansas.

The day Clinton announces his candidacy for the White House, Meredith Oakley sizes him up in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: "His word is dirt. Not a statesman is he, but a common, run-of-the-mill, dime-a-dozen politician. A mere opportunist. A man whose word is fallow ground not because it is unwanted but because it is barren, bereft of the clean-smelling goodness that nurtures wholesome things. Those of us who cling to the precepts of another age, a time in which a man's word was his bond, and, morally, bailing out was not an option, cannot join the madding crowd in celebrating what is for some Bill Clinton's finest hour. We cannot rejoice in treachery."

The Federal Reserve begins an investigation of BCCI's alleged control of First American Bank. A few months later BCCI itself is shut down in what would be revealed as the world's biggest bank scandal ever. Bill Clinton announces for president. Among his targets: "S&L crooks and self-serving CEOs."

1992

The Worthen Bank gives Clinton a $3.5 million line of credit allowing the cash-strapped candidate to finish the primaries. Stephens Inc. employees give Clinton more than $100,000 for his presidential campaign.

Little Rock Worldwide Travel provides Clinton with $1 million in deferred billing for his campaign trips. Clinton aide David Watkins boasts to a travel magazine, "Were it not for World Wide Travel here, the Arkansas governor may never have been in contention for the highest office in the land." In fact, without the Worthen and Worldwide largess, it is unlikely that the cash-strapped candidate could have survived through the later primaries.

A massive "bimbo" patrol is established to threaten, buy, or otherwise disarm scores of women who have had sexual encounters with Clinton. The campaign uses private investigators in an extensive operation that will be joked about at the time but later will be seen as a form of blackmail as well as psychological and physical intimidation.

Money magazine reports that Clinton annually receives about $1.4 million in admissions tickets to the state-regulated Oaklawn racetrack which he hands out to campaign contributors and others.

A survey of campaign reporters finds that by February, 90% favor Clinton for president.

During the New Hampshire primary Clinton flies back to Little Rock to preside over the execution of Ricky Ray Rector. The prisoner was so brain damaged that he saved his pie to eat later.

1993

Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker comes to Washington to see his old boss sworn in, leaving his state under the control of the president pro tem of the senate, Little Rock dentist Jerry Jewell. Jewell uses his power as acting governor to issue a number of pardons, one of them for a convicted drug dealer, Tommy McIntosh. According to the Washington Times, many in the state "say it was a political payoff, offered in exchange for dirty tricks Mr. McIntosh played on Clinton political opponents during the presidential campaign." It seems that the elder McIntosh had worked for Clinton in his last state campaign and, according to McIntosh in a 1991 lawsuit, had agreed not only to pay him $25,000 but to help him market his recipe for sweet potato pie and to pardon his son.

Webster Hubbell's name surfaces as a potential nominee for deputy attorney general but he tells friends he does not want that job or, reports Time, "to take any other position that involves Senate confirmation -- perhaps to avoid fishing expeditions into the law firm's confidential business."

And years later, this from a real expert: The New York Daily News quotes John Gotti as saying that Clinton got away with things a Mafia boss would never have gotten away with. In a conversation with his brother Peter, he is particularly struck with Clinton's taped conversation with Gennifer Flowers: "He's telling her, 'Why would you want to bring this out? If anybody investigates, you lie.' " Said Gotti, "If he had an Italian last name, they would've electrocuted him."

The National Boycott List. These are the companies that have little regard for law and order and only care about money and influence at the very tip of political power in Washington D.C.  You can see that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have been busy peddling influence for cash money.  The Clinton Foundation, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has organized into some kind of criminal enterprise at worse or just a careless and lawless funnel for foreign money and influence peddling.  You are losing your nation to illegal aliens, dishonest companies and corrupt government officials at the local, state and federal levels. 

Why would any company, organization or person give money to the impeached scandal ridden x- president Bill Clinton?  Why would any person, company or organization give cash money to Hillary Rodham Clinton if they did not expect a return on their cash investment, bribe? 

Take a look at these names, discover the brand names and maybe you should consider doing away with these companies.  You have the economic power to destroy or build any company.  A boycott is a free speech issue so feel free to take actions against these companies, Hillary and Bill Clinton and their foundation and exercise your financial mussel and stop funding their corrupt efforts.  Hillary Clinton has been selling direct access to the powerful as millions are starving, work part-time, falling in debt and eating with the help of food stamps as Barack Obama continues the destruction of America.

These companies are not only considered possible enemies of the U.S. Constitution but depending on fact finding might be enemies of the United States. These companies give for a reason and it's not to save the planet.  Hillary Clinton has sold the United States to a pool of cash investors indicated below, sure to be more.

The set includes oil, defense, drug, tech, and news companies, as well as labor unions and foreign interests. It includes organizations as innocuous as the Girl Scouts and those as in need of brand-burnishing as Nike, which was once forced to vow that it would end the use of child labor in foreign sweatshops.

This list of donors to the Clinton foundation who lobbied State matters because it gives a sense of just how common it was for influence-seekers to give to the Clinton Foundation, and exactly which ones did.

Author Peter Schweizer, whose book Clinton Cash is due out May 5, took his best shot but couldn't prove — or even assert — that Hillary Clinton took any official action because of contributions to the Clinton Foundation. I haven't read the book, but even Schweizer concedes that what he's identified is a "pattern of behavior," not hard evidence of corruption.

Still, the Clintons have shown they can't police themselves.

SHOCKING HEADLINES - ILLEGAL ALIENS - BARACK OBAMA, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY,  Read the shocking story about DHS meeting with people to keep the border open and allow millions and millions of illegal aliens to stay and bring their friends,

“It is shocking that the Department of Homeland Security, charged with enforcing our laws, would meet with amnesty groups to discuss ways to further defy and dismantle federal immigration law. Yet, Secretary Johnson has not met with his own ICE officers’ union and its courageous members who have spoken out to document the unlawful directives they are forced to follow. Mr. Johnson would do well to remember the oath he took to uphold the law.”

WASHINGTON—Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson met with important stakeholders from across the country to discuss the need for commonsense immigration reform, and hear firsthand their comments and perspective on a wide range of immigration issues. The meeting was part of Secretary Johnson’s focus on the effective and sensible enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws, including the ongoing review to assess how the Department of Homeland Security can conduct enforcement more humanely within the confines of the law.

As part of that effort, Secretary Johnson has been taking a hard look at these tough issues, meeting with a range of stakeholders and employees, and assessing where we can further align our enforcement policies with our goal of sound law enforcement practice that prioritizes public safety.

During the meeting, Secretary Johnson underscored his focus on supporting the passage of commonsense immigration reform this year – which remains the only path to fixing our broken immigration system.

Commentary - Opinion - Fictional Story of Slave Reparations

Slavery Reparations In Congress, Slave Restitution Bill Negro Fast Easy Money "Steamboat Amends and Slave Restitution Bill" Congress Committee House and Senate Slave Restitution Compensation Law Trillions of Dollars Cash Payments

Slave Restitution has placed some strange black cloud all over America.  The Steamboat Amends and Slave Restitution Bill is sitting in Congress right now and growing larger by the minute due to the presidential race next year.  The DNC GOP progressive dogs kept a low profile but the restitution bill was leaking like an old bucket.  Rumors have it that Barack Obama runs around the White House in his shorts slipping around and smoking and half ass'd drunk after Michelle hits the sack.  The Negro's were stirring and it had happened before and the political separating of black and white had taken place during the Obama administration.  The Negro was willing to sell their past, present and future and to hell with their dignity.  It was cash time.

He wavered for a moment looking at the menu as the black suited waiter waited. The tall waiter with his black vest and white shirt persisted in clicking his pen while he waited which was making Andy a little panicky.  Andy knew that some famous actor owned this guys great great grandfather or something as he could just about see the guy picking cotton and eating peeled fruit. This slave history thing was getting out of hand all across America as the Negro's wanted a lot more than food stamps and a free cell phone, forget about 40 acres and a mule.

Even with a bundle of cash in his suit pants front pocket Andy was suffering that sense of poverty as the downtown restaurant was completely out of his league.  Only rich people ate inside this restaurant like some underground kingdom for rich people. His shiny portable killing device was tucked into the small of his back was bothering him but his job required a pistol and at least two full clips, 9 millimeter, full metal jacket.

Andy was sure that his inexperience in a five star restaurant was showing as another server swooped in unexpectedly with iced water and a mysterious basket covered with a linen cloth, most likely fresh baked bread he was sure.  It was kind of obvious that all the servers were black and all the millionaires were white as he looked out the window and watched the wet season begin with a little rain.  It was just a couple of weeks ago that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama grabbed up some dinner here and surely it was taxpayer funded.  Socialist bastards spent other peoples money but those steaks coming out were thick and cooked to perfection. Lazily Andy picked up his ice water and sipped a little trying to kill some more time. 

The "John Craig Walker Tavern" had been in business since 1921 in New York City and was made famous by FDR carefully getting his "product" and "parcel"  there which meant booze and a five dollar girl for the evening.

The period of prohibition of alcohol from 1920 to 1933 didn't slow down sales at all as real life gangsters roamed from New York City to Chicago and everywhere between running booze, girls and guns.

Those Chicago gangsters and their sharp noses and long knives didn't have anything on the modern gangs of New York.  The girls still worked here in the back rooms some say but Andy didn't know much about that as they cost more than the food.

What Mrs. Roosevelt didn't know wouldn't hurt her and Al Smith, the past governor of New York assured Franklin that the old lesbian wouldn't care anyway. Franklin would enjoy a sip and a slip never having to fear discovery kind of like Bill Clinton does today.  Who in their right mind would rat out Bill Clinton and his billionaire friends taking hits on high school girls?  Hillary would never find out and Bill would never tell and everybody knows that Barack has the eye for expensive booze and boobs. 

The designer and architect of Attica Federal Prison sat at these tables with Franklin and others while millions of dollars moved from the State Capitol of New York to the friends of Franklin mostly under the table and out of view.  The citizen natives never knew the difference but a lot of bribes moved to the center of power in Washington D.C. so Franklin always had his hand out and his pockets open. 

Some people say that unemployment insurance and the old age pension was thought out in one of the back dining rooms inside the John Craig Walker Tavern.  The Federal Income Tax and Social Security was a great deceiver centralized government idea to take money from the working slobs and give it to lazy ass holes.  Nothing has changed but the numbers.  Washington D.C. is still the same old and cruel colonial plantation idea working but the delivery system has changed.  The minorities are still slaves and they tend to vote for the Democrats.

By keeping Obamacare funded, food stamps and other welfare programs flowing the Negro's were kept in their place but now things are changing.  The young blacks carry guns and distribute drugs and fill up the jails.  They just about burnt down Baltimore and the FBI was now looking at the Mayor and State's attorney.

Jimmy Walker the corrupt Mayor of New York City, also the owner of the restaurant, often times visited the Franklin Roosevelt table and the Tammany Hall boys picked up a lot of Franklins bar and bar fly tabs.  Franklin called the graft or the cash fix as a donation to the future.  A lot of money moves around and the strings start in the Oval office and they reach down to Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Philadelphia and other places of brotherly love.

When the Wall Street Crash brought about the Great Depression the "Johnny Walker" as locals called it about went under but the crime families of New York needed a place and "The Johnny Walker" was the place.

The five star restaurant was the place to be seen, night or day and it took Andy three days to reserve the table for two.  Andy's drink arrived and it was stinging some going down and the warmth filled him as he recovered his breath.  It was the Black Gold brand and it hit his gut just about the time another server walked to his table.

Andy Ledger had been directed to meet the political activist "Mr. Hunt" from Tuskegee, Alabama at the Johnny Walker at noon on Thursday and his boss told him to pick up the tab in the pursuit of Mr. Hunt's happiness.

This guy thought the streets were paved with gold and he wanted every Negro released from jail, able to vote, carry a gun and receive cash money because of past slavery.  Mr. Hunt was a progressive black radical and the main stream media was his theater.  Lately he had been blooming like a hot house flower because of the riots and Barack Obama kept inviting him inside the White House. 

Logan Hunt had acquired many black American advantages from the political class but he also had a story to tell to the F.B.I. and Andy Ledger was the special agent assigned to take the notes and listen to the story.

The black community was rotting and disintegrating and they were ripe for political harvesters like Mr. Hunt, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a thousand others.

Mr. Hunt was friendly with many high level politicians and he had been pushing to create a change in America, constitutionally providing compensation for Negro's as a result of past slavery.

Many past presidents of the United States had attempted several national programs to make grants and payments to the Negro's but the trillions of dollars would not be enough for Mr. Hunt as compensation for past evils.

Mr. Hunt was not talking about more welfare programs he was pushing for a cash deal that would total trillions of dollars and be payable over a ten year period.

Mr. Hunt had already received enough Democratic support in the House and Senate to have written the "Steamboat Amends and Slave Restitution Bill" and was sitting in a Congress committee at this very moment.

The F.B.I. knew a lot about  Mr. Hunt and one thing for sure he was not satisfied with anything but action and he believed in deeds and not words.  He seemed to be a kind and gentle man but he also played the weaker members of the African American community as suckers and was worth tens of millions of dollars.

The old hat players like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama and others were low class players and Mr. Hunt's discouragement about the first black president was well known at the New York Times, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, L.A. Times, Boston Globe and all the big networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and others.

Mr. Hunt was very willing to have another American Civil War.

He was influential and also late for lunch as Andy attempted to extend his free stay at the Johnny Walker table for two without ordering.

The clicking pen was driving him nuts.

“So you think that people who never owned slaves should be required to pay reparations to people who never were slaves.” This was a comment made by an individual in a class I taught recently in which the issue of slavery reparations was raised. Interestingly, the individual who made this comment is black and the one who proposed reparations is white. Reparations are an ill-conceived concept advocated by people who think they are owed because blacks were once enslaved in America. Those pushing for reparations are predictable: Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton are two of the most vocal advocates. In fact, Farrakhan has gone beyond the borders of the United States with his reparations road show.

Failing to gain any traction in America for slavery reparations, Louis Farrakhan took his entitlement message to the Caribbean last year. In Jamaica he demanded that the Pope endorse slavery reparations to atone for the supposed sins of the Catholic Church. “Project 2019” is a white paper that sets out the case for slavery reparations to be paid by taxing U.S. citizens (although its author admits that seeking reparations is probably a waste of time and effort that could be put to better use in other causes for black Americans).

Reparation demands will probably be with us for a while because they grow out of the entitlement mentality that has become deeply engrained in so many Americans. But demands for slavery reparations are just that: pure entitlement nonsense. In fact, they are an example of race hustling at its worse. Americans of good will are working hard to bridge the racial gap that still exists in our country and bring about a state of racial harmony; something that would benefit Americans of all races. Unfortunately, there are still a few people who view racial discord as an opportunity to be exploited—think of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton—people best viewed as race hustlers. Race hustlers continue to fan the flames of racial discord as a means to keep themselves relevant, maintain power, and fatten their wallets. The biggest fear of race hustlers is that people in America will do what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. recommended: judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. If this ever happens the days of race hustling are over.

Fearing exactly this, race hustlers have long sought a way to really pour fire on the embers of racial discord. The more progress people of good faith make in bridging the racial divide in America, the more frantic race hustlers have become in seeking a burning issue that will ensure them of more years, if not decades, of relevance and financial security. The more entrepreneurial of the race hustlers think they have hit upon just the issue: slavery reparations. As race hustles go, this one must look inviting to people who benefit from racial discord because it appeals to them on so many different levels. There are the feelings harbored by some black Americans who know their history and understandably resent aspects of it, there is the growing entitlement mentality in American society, there is white guilt, and, finally, there is the always enticing element of money.

My view is that those who captured, transported, traded, and owned slaves should have been made to pay reparations to those they enslaved 150 years or so ago when slaves and masters were still alive. Reparations assessed at that time would not have erased the blight on humanity that slavery represented, but they would have at least been an attempt at justice. Speaking of justice, this is why I disagree advocates of slavery reparations who want American citizens alive today to be taxed to pay reparations to black Americans. If the goal of reparations is justice, where is the justice in asking Americans who are living today to pay for the sins of Americans who died long ago, sins they played no part in and owing to the span of time involved could not have stopped? How can a person alive today possibly be culpable for sins committed 200 or more years ago?

Further, what about Hispanic and Asian Americans? Should they be required to pay? What about Americans of mixed racial heritage? Should they be required to pay? What about the fact that a high percentage of Americans living today trace their lineage to immigrants who came to America after the Civil War? Should they be allowed to pay? What about descendants of black people who themselves owned slaves? Should they be required to pay? What about descendants of white Americans who helped slaves escape bondage? Should they be required to pay?

To race hustlers, slavery reparations must look like a promising issue on which to hang their hats, not to mention their wallets. Their thinking probably goes something like this: If we make enough noise about this issue and stir up enough guilt, maybe pandering politicians will go along with reparations just to shut us up. But on more careful consideration, the idea of reparations is not just fraught with difficulties; it is the result of twisted logic, entitlement, and greed. Society cannot right one wrong by perpetrating another. You do not establish justice for one man by inflicting injustice on another.

Look into this issue and you will notice right away that slavery reparations advocates do not limit their expectations of payment to just the direct descendants of slave traders and slave owners. This is not because they acknowledge that even direct descendants played no role in the heinous activities of their forbearers. The descendants of slave owners and slave traders weren’t even alive in those dark days of America’s history, nor would they be for a long time. 

Obviously, people cannot be held responsible—legally, ethically, or morally—for things they did not do and could not prevent. But this is not why reparations advocates choose not to focus on the descendants of slave traders and slave owners. The real reason is the very essence of expedience: money. There are not enough direct descendants of slave traders and slave owners alive in America today to generate the kind of money advocates are hoping to receive. Better for the pocketbooks of race hustlers if all Americans have to pay into the proposed fund and let justice be damned.

Another important question is this: Who would administer a reparations fund? Actually, reparations advocates have already answered this question. The plan is to ask “black leaders” to administer the reparations fund and make decisions concerning how to distribute any money that would be collected. Now there’s a plan. Besides this approach being a formula certain to encourage cronyism, graft, and corruption—that much power coupled with that much money is certain to corrupt, just look at Congress—who is going to choose the black leaders to administer the fund and who is going to oversee their decisions?

Slavery was an abomination, not just to America but to humanity. I state this as a given. However, expecting reparations to be paid by people who did not live during the slavery era, have never owned slaves, and in all likelihood are not even distantly related to slave owners of the past is a bad idea; an idea that is not fair, just, or logical. In fact, the demand for slavery reparations is little more than an example of the entitlement mentality run amok and being pushed by people who are interested in receiving money they don’t deserve from people who don’t owe it to them.
