There is a conditional element "forall" in CLIPS which can be used for
this -- Jess doesn't implement it yet, although it's on the long to-do
list. 

For now, you could try something like this:

(defrule the-rule
  (exists (foo))
  (not (foo (bar ~somevalue)))

or "Given that there's at least one foo fact, and there are no foo
facts whose bar slot contains something that's not  somevalue..."
