He went to Moscow during the Cold Wer; he organized and participated in anti-American rallies in London, England during the Viet Nam War. As Governor he said he balanced the budget 11 times; he never balanced the budget. He said he didn't raise taxes; he raised them 126 times. During his tenure as Governor he was instrumental in establishing the Arkansas Development Finance Authority supposedly to provide loans to students, churches, and schools. The agency was actually used to launder billions of dollars from 2 $100 million per month drug operation out of Mena, Arkansas. Millions of dollars from the drug operation were channeled to Clinton's personal political campaign-—-money laundered through BCCI banks in Florida; Atlanta, Georgia and former U.S, Senator Rostenkowski's bank in Chicago. I have personally talked to some of the CIA agents who brought drugs into Mena, Arkansas and shipped arms out. Every loan for the Arkansas Development Finance Authority was signed-off by Bill Clinton. Many of the loans were never paid off. in some instances not even one payment was made on the loans. During a 10 year operation not one indictment was handed down and not one truck or plane load of drugs was ever confiscated. During the first week of his presidency, he revoked random drug-testing of his White House Staff. A clear departure from the standard practice of his predecessors, who were more mindful of how testing relates to national security issues. Five Arkansas state troopers have volunteered that he had over 100 sexual escapades, with as many women, during the period they guarded him. | have personally interviewed one of these women who is now in hiding to protect her life. The documentation for the above information has been furnished to U.S. senators and congressmen and still nothing has been done. Why hasn't Congress investigated the Mena, Arkansas drug smuggling operation? Why hasn't Congress called the key witness, Larry Nichols, former Marketing Director for Arkansas Development Finance Authority to testify during the Whitewater and Vince Foster hearings? Nichols has stated that he alerted President Clinton to the drug operation and he was ignored. President Clinton's response was that it was a “Federal” matter—not a "State" matter. The FBI claims Foster's suicide note is authentic whereas three independent handwriting experts say itis fraudulent. Why has Congress not called former CIA drug smuggling pilots as witnesses? | personally know of two who would be willing to testify. Three attempts have been made on Larry Nichol's life. Law enforcement officers working toward meaningful prosecution have been forced to resign or have been reassigned. One has been falsely accused of a crime nd another survived an attempt to poison him. Since August 1991, thirty individuals associated with the drug operation and investigation of Clinton have died as a result of questionable suicides, murders, or in plane crashes. Former U.S. Congressman Bill Danameyer has described President Clinton as a draft-dodging womanizing pathological liar who should be impeached.Drug net draws | closer around Bill Clinton BE longer ent 25 Governor "8 eased te sauenie 6 She'd testified about seeing Bill Clinton get so high on cocaine he fell into a garbage can...

As with the far Negan Hang, Franklin and DY AAT Ambrosiano cebacies, this question Jot-all- has never been satisfactorily Se answered for the S&L scam.

AA central figure in the S&L sale of the century was Walter /Mischer, a close frend of Senator Lloyd Bentsea and a long-time ‘acquaintance’ of George Bush. Mischer was closely ‘connected’ to the New Orleans Marcello family, one of the most powerful Mafia, families in the county. Never a ‘one-family’ man, he also did business with Mafia associates from New York and Chicago. Mischer is considered to be the most powerful man in Texas, and certainly one of the richest. His “I'm just a country boy” demeanavr belies a sharp, analytical business mind and an iey steak of ruthlessness. With a finger in every pie, his influence stceiches wide to include business, crime, finance, the intlligencs community, and domestic and international politics. Brewton believes tha: Mischer “is without peer in Texas and perhaps in the entire country”.

Sutton October 1992 0 0.1 Shocking Allegations Against President Bush Last month Phoenix Lemer summarized an extraordinary pedopbilic, satanic scandal in Omaha, Nebraska. This scandal involves highly placed polilicians, businessmen and a former Omaha Police Chief. The high level participants have been able to instal! and maintain an almost complete blackout and cover up. ‘The child victims, now adults. have heer sailmaded into jail News of the child abuse and related murders hes not penevated beyond Nebraska except for isolated reprinting in Italy. Spain end Auswratia. Our initial reaction was one of dishelief on two pein. 1. The nature of the scandal and the identity of the influential participants. 2. The extent and success of the blackout. This event has not made eny major newspaper ir the United States. Except for an issue of Washington Times, This is almost toial sensorshin, However ont factor ultimately tipped the balance in favor of belie? the status and ident mack rs es f 1. Former CIA Director William E. Colby wrote the Foreword to the John DeCamp book The Franklin Coverup. In the foreword Colby advises DeCamp “Best thing you can do for your personal safery is to tell your story and make sure you have the national press interested in this and looking imo it with some really good investigative reponers.” Colby also makes the statement: “There really are people too powerful, Interests toc big, that the rich and the powerful even when doing evil can an¢ will succeed and you can do nothing about it ar that moment,” Ifa former CIA Director makes such a statement we have of necessity 10 give it credence. 2. Author John W. DeCamp is a former Nebraska Senator, a much decorated Vieinam War veteren who initiated OPERATION BABY LIFT out of Vietnam to provide safety for 2,800 crphaned Vietnamese children. 3. Ted Gunderson, former FB Senior Special Agent in charge in Los Angeles, a 28 year FBI veteran, Gunderson wrove a report on the pedophilic ring for the Nebraska ership Conference end includes the comment “I can state without hesitation that every siatement in this beok is documented by hard evidence.” Gunderson was an FI child abuse specialistI This is not a “lone net" story.

We reprint page 9 of one Lowe report. This places Bush at a pedophilic pany and leaving with a “black male she identified as Brandt." (Plus bodyguards) Jerry Lowe subsequently resigned and was replaced by investigator Gary Caradori, Caradori was killed when his light plane exploded in mid air. Documeri #2 is 2 request for juvenile protection written by Andrea L. Carpenter 2 Protective Services Worker for the State of Nebraska.

The photographic evidence (page 207 et seq) consists of Skull and Bones club photographs of members accompanied by “crossed thigh bones and a skull." We also know that assoned human remains are kept within the Bones Temple on the Yale campus, We comment: (p.207) “An obvious point is that these bones and skulls are former human beings. Instead of secred Bearment, they are exhibited and used for ceremonial purposes. Where the bones should be resting decently in a grave, they have become the center of a secret ceremony. In brief, the photographs reveal the men portrayed as grave robbers who reject human dignity and decency and use satanic devices."
