From the Offices of: Rumor Mill News Agency The Uncensored National Rumor E-mail Address: Ru [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02.11.99 RMNews Senator Kyl Says Tapes Exist! Did An Intelligence Agency Bug The White House? For years now, RMNews has been hearing stories about various intelligence agencies bugging the White House. One of the first stories to surface regarding this was from Debra von Trapp. She presented evidence which showed that the Japanese were eavesdropping on the Oval office. Another credible story on White House bugging stated that the Israeli's were bugging the White House. Various other incarnations of this story have had the Chinese and the Russians bugging the White House. RMNews has wondered out loud how many other countries, or business interests, both foreign and domestic have bugged the White House. One of the super market tabloids just ran an article about call girl who are agents for foreign countries. These girls supply sex for Washington bigwigs. The article made me wonder if the President has brought any of these foreign agents into the White House? And if he did, could they have left behind a non detectable bug to eavesdrop on his future conversations? If Betty Currie brought Monica to the President without having her cleared through the typical White House clearing procedures, how many other women have been brought into the White House this way? Another point to ponder as you are thinking about how many women have made it into the White House uncleared: Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a young woman bringing him a bouquet of flowers. The flowers had a bomb hidden in them. Both Gandhi and the young woman were killed. What if a beautiful young woman, who also is a dedicated Islamic terrorist, is ushered into the White House uncleared? She could have enough C-4 plastique in her purse to blow up the entire White House. Or she could be carrying a large brief case which contained a "backpack" nuclear bomb. This type of bomb could level up to six square blocks of Washington...or more! Now that the Senate has given the President carte blanche to do whatever he wants to do... + How soon will it be until he has a different girl every night? + How soon will it be until all our National secrets are in the hands of foreign agents? + How soon will it be until one of the President's girls brings in a package of C-4, anthrax, deadly chemical gas, or a nuclear bomb? In a review of a book by former U.S.S.R. Col. Stanislav Lunev, journalist Christopher Ruddy states: " Col. Lunev is the highest ranking military intelligence officer ever to have defected from Russia. He did so in 1992 after the Soviet Union dissolved and Boris Yeltsin had come to power." Last year, Lunev detailed just some of his activities in a new book he co-authored with Ira Winkler, "Through the Eyes of the Enemy: Russia's Highest Ranking Military Defector Reveals Why Russia is More Dangerous than Ever" (Regnery, (800) 639-7629). " The book is a light read with some sensational details about Russian plans to bring suitcase nuclear bombs into America and... " to use special forces to assassinate the president and congressional, military and other leaders during the initial phases of a war. Lunev claims in "Through the Eyes of the Enemy" that Russian military leaders still view a war with the United States as "inevitable" and that the Cold War never really ended. * How safe do you feel knowing that we have a President in Washington who has allowed himself to be placed in positions where he can be blackmailed? * How safe do you feel knowing that the President is probably a sex addict and will probably be feeding his addiction with whatever beautiful girl strikes his fancy... even a foreign agent. * How safe do you feel knowing that your President could be clearing into the White House a foreign agent who is there to help her country start a war with the United States? Remember the words of Colonel Lunev and ask yourself if one of the foreign call girls ushered into the oval office is a member of an elite team whose orders are: ...to use special forces to assassinate the president and congressional, military and other leaders during the initial phases of a war. For years rumors of the White House being bugged by foreign countries have been flying around. RMNews has also been told that the White House has been taped by our own intelligence services. Now, one lone brave Senator has the courage to stand up and say the same thing. Will it do any good? Apparently not. RMNews is wondering why the Senators are not demanding that the tapes be produced and heard before the vote is taken? If there is proof of perjury, obstruction of justice and treason in the tapes, it will be very bad for the Senators who refused to let them be found and heard before they took a vote. If you want your Senator to be reelected, you should bring the existence of these tapes to his or her attention and advise your Senator to listen to them before he or she casts her vote. It doesn't even matter if you want your Senator to be reelected, you should write and tell them what they have to lose if these tapes eventually go public and offer proof of the President's crimes. Please read the articles in the Arizona Republic about Senator Kyl's warning regarding the secret White House tapes. Here is the link to the Arizona Republic. It has a lot of interesting articles: <A HREF="http://www.arizonarepublic.com/news/clinton/">Clinton in crisis</A> http://www.arizonarepublic.com Clinton calls might have been taped Senator Kyl hints at intelligence monitoring Copyright 1999, The Arizona Republic By Chris Moeser and Dave Wagner The Arizona Republic Feb. 10, 1999 A U.S. intelligence agency may have taped telephone conversations between President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and information about the tapes has been turned over to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, Sen. Jon Kyl said Tuesday. The information came to light last week as the Senate considered evidence in the president's impeachment trial. Kyl, a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, said key GOP senators were approached by sources who said they knew of the possible existence of the tapes. The names of those sources were then turned over to Starr for investigation, Kyl said. It was unclear whether the development would affect the impeachment trial, which is scheduled to draw to a close Friday. "There are different agencies in the government that make it their business to tape certain things for certain reasons, and it was one of those agencies" that did the taping, Kyl said. "Incidentally, it may have been more than one of those agencies," he added. Kyl, R-Ariz., refused to identify the agency or agencies involved in the taping. "That's something I absolutely can't get into in any greater detail," he said. Kyl said of the sources: "They are people who claim to have information about those tapes, who by virtue of who they are have some credibility with respect to the information they have come forward about." When asked whether the sources were members of U.S. intelligence, Kyl said, "You can assume that they are people who at some period in time have been in the employ of the federal government." As for the motive of the sources, Kyl said he believed they were prompted by the testimony of witnesses in the impeachment trial. "Here you have a case going forward, and at issue are a lot of different interpretations of phone conversations," Kyl said, mentioning in particular diverging memories about details of events in the testimony of Lewinsky and presidential friend Vernon Jordan. Kyl compared the allegations of the tapes' existence to the "smoking gun" evidence in the Watergate scandal, when congressional witness Alexander Butterfield "just blurted out" a reference to former President Nixon's taping system in the Oval Office. "Now you have people who have reason to know that the tapes exist and they say, 'Wait a minute, shouldn't someone know about this?' " Kyl said. News reports Tuesday about the possibility of tapes of presidential conversations focused on the possibility of a taping system in the White House that captured phone calls between Clinton and Lewinsky, but the White House denied the existence of such a system. Kyl was the first to reveal that the conversations had been recorded by the unidentified intelligence sources. U.S. intelligence, including the CIA, the National Security Agency and all of the branches of military intelligence, report to the president and work for the executive branch. The legality of employees of these agencies informing members of Congress of the existence of classified material was unclear Tuesday. Kyl first revealed the role of the unnamed intelligence services in his impeachment diary entry for Tuesday, which is published in today's Republic. Kyl has been writing the diary for his grandchildren, and the newspaper has been printing excerpts of the diary since the impeachment trial of the president began in January. "Public reports are now surfacing about the possibility that a national security agency may have copies of taped conversations of White House calls made by or to the president during the times relevant to this case," Kyl wrote. "I'll have more to say about this as it is officially dealt with publicly." The idea of turning over the records involving the tapes to Starr's office apparently originated with a member of the GOP Senate leadership. "We've been talking about what to do about this, and I suggested why don't we turn it over to Starr," Assistant Majority Leader Don Nickles told the Associated Press. "It's for him to handle; it's not for us to handle." The AP reported that the Republican senators received information about a week ago, raising the possibility that a White House taping system might exist. Eager to finish the impeachment trial, they sent the information to Starr. Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi told reporters Tuesday that the GOP senators played no role in the matter other than to receive the information and pass it on to Starr. "All I've done is make available information sent to me," Lott said. White House spokesman Barry Toiv denied the existence of a White House recording operation. "We're not aware of any taping system," he told the AP. Toiv said there are occasional instances in which Clinton will conduct an interview by phone, and the call is taped to transcribe the conversation. In some other instances when Clinton speaks to groups long distance by phone, those calls are taped and transcribed, he said. * * * Day Two: Kyl: Tapes report won't get in way. Trial will stay on track despite allegations of phone recordings By Jeff Barker Republic Washington Bureau Feb. 11, 1999 WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans won't let the impeachment trial be derailed by allegations that a U.S. intelligence agency may have taped presidential telephone conversations in the Monica Lewinsky affair, Sen. Jon Kyl said Wednesday. "It's not going to slow it down, stop it or affect it in anyway," Kyl, R-Ariz., said in an interview. "If we had wanted to do that, we would have sought to bring everything to a screeching halt until we verified the information one way or another." The Arizona Republic and the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that information had been passed to independent counsel Kenneth Starr that White House telephone conversations may have been monitored by a U.S. intelligence agency. The unsubstantiated allegations of the existence of such tapes ended up in the hands of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., who forwarded the information to Starr. The Journal reported that Lott asked Starr to investigate allegations of "some type of communications-monitoring system within the Defense Department or intelligence community (that) might have picked up Mr. Clinton's telephone conversations in the Monica Lewinsky matter." Kyl said Senate Republicans, to preserve the integrity of the trial, would resist stopping the proceedings while more is learned about the possible new tapes. Among the many unanswered questions are why an agency would record Clinton's conversations and, if any tapes exist, whether they would shed more light on the two articles of impeachment against the president. Kyl said that the Senate Republican leadership faced risks no matter what it decided to do about the sketchy information, first released Tuesday. If tapes exist, "and if there is something on them, then we're going to catch hell for not having stopped the impeachment process until the whole thing could be checked out," Kyl said. But he quickly added, "We have done everything to keep the impeachment process moving to a conclusion on Friday, with no reference to this whatsoever." White House spokesman Joe Lockhart was asked by a reporter Wednesday whether there were recordings "done not here at the White House with any kind of built-in system" but monitored in some manner from outside the White House. "I'm not aware of any system that's either built-in or not built-in," Lockhart said. "I'm not aware of any recordings that exist." Kyl said the White House denials were inconclusive. "The answer that they're giving doesn't answer the question of, "Do they exist somewhere, does somebody have them?' " Kyl said. David Leavy, a spokesman for the National Security Council, the president's intelligence advisory group based in the White House, told the Journal, "There are no phone tapes of the president that I am aware of. I have checked, and the answer is "no.' " The newspaper said another government intelligence agency, the National Security Agency, has the capability to intercept calls, but it is prohibited by law from eavesdropping on domestic conversations. The allegations conjure up images of President Nixon's recording system that led to a battle over the release of White House tapes during the Watergate scandal. News reports earlier this week had focused on the possibility of a taping system in the White House that could have captured phone calls between Clinton and Lewinsky, the former intern whose affair with Clinton precipitated the impeachment charges. Lockhart repeated Wednesday that no such system exists. Kyl said he learned about the latest twist through the Senate Republican leadership. "They (the sources) didn't come to me, they came to somebody else, and the information was then passed on to the leader (Trent Lott)," Kyl said. "The sources, and there are more than one, were deemed by the person they first (approached) to be credible sources." The impeachment articles against Clinton accuse him of perjury and obstruction of justice in trying to cover up an affair with Lewinsky. Senators, who continued their closed-door deliberations Wednesday, are expected to acquit Clinton of both charges.
