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:
                          By Alexander Cockburn

        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.
