Subject: Here they are--the scapegoat indictments
These indictments strike me as REALLY weird... almost surreal.
The CLINTON Justice Dept. is prosecuting McDonnell Douglas??? For
transferring equipment that was diverted to military use by the
Chinese???
I have vague memories from a year or two ago, of screams from
various Republican and independent sources, over the spectre of
Chinese officials going on a tour of a closed McDD plant that
used to make aircraft, with high-precision computer-controlled
six-axis metal-milling machines and other very sophisticated
tools. Then, as I recall, the shole plant was gutted, and the
tools moved to China, ostensibly only for civilian purposes.
All concerned, snorted derision at that pretense-- the Chinese
government controls all civilian as well as military production
in their country, and will move those tools wherever it suits
them, with little attention paid to the cute word games that the
Americans seemed to enjoy playing about "agreements". That's why
there were such strict laws against exporting ANYTHING technical
to China or Russia, controlled for years by the State Dept.
instead of Commerce-- because of the LIKELIHOOD that any
high-tech devices would be used for military purposes. And anyone
who believed the twaddle about "civilian use only" needed to get
his head examined, was the conclusion IIRC.
All that was ignored, as were so many other warnings and outright
prohibitions when it came to the Clinton administration trying to
please its masters in Beijing. The tools were transferred (as
were several supercomputers, as I recall-- what about them?), and
hey, whaddaya know!!! Those Chinese actually BROKE THEIR WORD and
diverted them to military purposes! How could they do such a
thing???
We honestly thought that they were bending over backwards, paying
bribes, channelling money around etc., simply because they wanted
to save a little fuel with a better civilian airliner design. We
never had any reason to believe that they might do something as
naughty as use these tools for military purposes. We're shocked,
I tell you, shocked and bewildered at their astonishing perfidy!
The "surreal" part comes from the sight of the Clinton
administration not only pretending (as it always has in the face
of huge evidence to the contrary) that it didn't know what
everybody knew. Nobody really expected that to be believed-- that
they didn't suspect anything like this. Give me a break.
And now here we have the spectacle of the Clintons pretending
that McDonnel Douglas and CATIC were the sole bad guys, for
knowing the tools were likely to be used militarily (when the
Clintons knew it full well also, and welcomed McDD's helping them
to please their Beijing masters)... and then CALLING THE COPS ON
MCDD for helping the Clinton administration do what it wanted all
along!!!
That's like seeing Al Capone call the police, and file a
complaint against all his best hit-men, for being so mean and
naughty to all those innocent people they killed last year.
Everyone expects Capone to deny involvement in the killings, even
while they know he had to be the guiding force behind them. But
calling the cops on his own allies, stretches credulity to the
breaking point... and past.
Sounds like a protection payment got missed somewhere.
The risk in dropping the dime on your friends, of course, is that
they might turn on you and rat you out too. But, as with Capone,
we will likely find that all agreements were of the "wink and a
nod" variety, with no court-admissible records that the allies
can use against Clinton administration officials. Except a few
carefully designated low-level types who can be considered
expendable, or high-level ones who are already "expended" (Brown,
McDougall). Hasn't Louis Freeh already admitted, that
investigating the Clinton coverup and stonewall machine, seemed
very similar to investigating Organized Crime?
The chutzpah of this administration continues to amaze. Shutting
down the govt and blaming Congress again, will be child's play
next to this.
A pattern is emerging in these staggeringly audacious schemes.
The Justice Department was used with devastating effect, against
cigarette makers across the coutry, for doing what they had
legally done for centuries. They are now crying uncle and forking
over billions as fast as they can. Then the Justice Dept was
unleashed on the OIC, who had been running the cleanest and most
aboveboard investigation since Sherlock Holmes. The DOJ even kept
straight faces when they found thmselves in the unprecedented
position of suing the OIC in court... until the judge patiently
pointed out that the United States could not sue the United
States over something.
Most recently, the DOJs of various states, are suing another
recently-discovered Bad Guy, gun makers.-- again, for doing what
they had legally done for centuries. At least one (Colt),
learning from the bitter experience of past DOJ victims, is
already running with tail firmly clamped between legs.
Now the Justice Dept. is geing wielded against McDD, for doing
precisely what the Clinton administration pavd the way for them
to do by lifting export restrictions and transferring export
control to Commerce from State. Needless to say, the Clintons
have no fear of McDD calling the cops to ward off this flagrantly
two-faced treatment... because it's the cops that are prosecuting
them.
VERY convenient for a President and his ideological cohorts who
have little regard for jaw or real justice... but a strong agenda
and only 16 months left to push it.
The Clinton Justice Dept. is prosecuting McDonnell Douglas for
turning machine tools over to a dishonest superpower that bought
and paid for Bill Clinton years ago.
That one, takes the cake.
