WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! The Lying of Presidents. .by Sam Smith While many presidents have lied, none has been so repeatedly and pathologically dishonest as Clinton. My personal experience covering presidential politics goes back over 40 years and eight presidents. I have also closely followed corrupt politics in three cities. No one has ever accused me of not being cynical enough about politics. Yet when Clinton came along, I was impressed. Forget about Lewinsky. That's a shell game that has successfully kept everyone's attention off some basic facts: -- From his mother, who hung out with Mafia leaders at the race track, to his very first campaign, in which he was bankrolled by an uncle tied to the New Orleans mob, Bill Clinton grew up in a thoroughly dishonest, corrupt, and often illegal environment. He can be fairly called our first mob president, because he is in no small part the political product of the Dixie Mafia, a criminal confederacy more deadly even than its northern peers, among whose major activities has been the use of certain southern states such as Arkansas as domestic narco-republics. This didn't start with Clinton and it hasn't ended yet. As recently as two years ago, Arkansas Highway Police seize $3.1 million in cash from four suitcases in a tractor-trailer rig's sleeper section. The driver was charged with money laundering among other things. The seizure was the fourth largest in American history and nearly fifty times more than all the illegal money seized by Arkansas highway police in a typical year. -- We have never had a White House that has stonewalled, obstructed justice, and had its associates lie, take the Fifth, or flee the country so frequently in order to cover up events or avoid prosecution. We have never before had a president who lied under oath and been caught. We have never had a president's wife give such patently evasive answers to Congress, saying "I don't recall" or its equivalent some 50 times in 42-paragraph statement. Never. -- We have never had so many associates and firms connected with the White House be convicted of, or plead guilty to, so many crimes. Never. -- These crimes did not involve sex, but drug trafficking, racketeering, extortion, bribery, tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement, fraud, conspiracy, fraudulent loans, illegal gifts, illegal campaign contributions, money laundering, perjury, and obstruction of justice. -- We have never had so many illegal campaign contributions, with so many coming from foreign sources. Never. -- We have never had so many witnesses in criminal investigations associated with the White House who have died under suspicious circumstances. Never. -- We have never had a president among whose associates there have been so many suicides, murders, and unexplained deaths. The number of these, even by the most conservative accounting, exceeds, say, the number of persons killed by the NY Mafia during its peak decade of the 70s. This is not to say Clinton is alone in his corruption. As I wrote in "The Great American Political Repair Manual," "There is a world of difference, however, between simple human error and premeditated malevolence. One of the most remarkable things about American politics over the past thirty years is how often the latter has intruded on the normal workings of our democracy. Many of these incidents have been poorly reported or only briefly covered and then forgotten. The cumulative story has been almost totally ignored. We need not finally determine who killed JFK and for what reasons to recognize a more generic fact: our politics has been repeatedly interrupted and distorted by assassins, mobs, rogue intelligence agents and agencies, freelance conspirators, drug runners, massive corruption, illegal financial manipulation and off-the-shelf government operations." Mob politics began in earnest with John Kennedy, who, like Clinton, grew up in a mob-enhanced environment and retained mob ties throughout his career. This influence manifested itself at the Bay of Pigs and, some have argued, in his assassination. Only rarely -- as when Carter tried to clean house at the CIA -- has any subsequent president really challenged this new dark and dirty system of governance. Clinton has simply embraced it. Remember, too, that all this is before we get around to such other issues as Clinton's assault on democracy and civil liberties, the unprecedented incarceration of Americans, or his attack on the social programs and values his own party painfully constructed over 60 years. In such ways is Clinton different both in degree and substance from all who preceded him. by Sam Smith **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
