http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/19990302_xcsof_anatomy_co.shtml On Feb. 23, 1999, U.S. Federal Judge Payne issued an order for the Commerce Dept. to release documents on the Chinese Army unit, COSTIND (the Chinese Commission of Science Technology and Industry for National Defense). The Court order was in response to a suit filed by Softwar, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) denial by the Commerce Dept. The Commerce Department claimed that records detailing meetings between COSTIND Army officers and Commerce officials did not exist. Much like Mrs. Clinton's claim that "Whitewater" billing records did not exist, the Commerce claims turned out to be false. The Commerce Dept. has already returned a vast array of documented evidence on COSTIND. Some of the phantom records are on the internet, complete with signatures of the Clinton officials involved. Federal Judge Payne viewed the pile of real documents presented by this reporter, along with the words "Dear Ron" plastered all over them, and exploded. The Judge found the lame defense presented by the Clinton administration to be an insult. The Commerce Dept. lawyer was forced to admit that "thirteen" records responsive to the Freedom of Information Request on COSTIND have been found. Judge Payne ordered that all documents, including those withheld for national security, be reviewed by the Court to ensure that none are being illegally withheld. President Clinton has offered U.S. trade favors to China at every turn, claiming the communist state will become less of a monster. The logic is that if China is fat and happy on western consumer goods it will no longer be a nationalistic, radical, nation looking to even age its old border disputes. Instead, the Chinese Army bought high tech military items and sold goods made by cheap slave labor in massive quantities to American merchants eager for a quick buck. The trade imbalance between America and China reflects the communist tax and regulation war against imported U.S. goods. The Chinese Army is converting the massive trade surplus with America into an ambitious arms build up to dominate the twenty first century. Our cash for goods is fueling the next arms race. In addition, the communist state has grown less tolerant of freedom. The Chinese Communist party is using advanced U.S. "law enforcement" technology to round up dissidents at a higher rate than during the Tiananmen Square massacre. The monster is growing stronger and much more evil, fed by mounds of cash from the west. President Reagan once had a similar problem with the former Soviet Union. Many in the Republican party pressed for open trade and a no questions asked policy with the Soviet Union. They cited the unrestricted actions of trading partners in securing lucrative deals behind the Iron Curtain. The strict Soviet empire, they argued, would crumble under an onslaught of western goods. Instead, Reagan picked the hard line, arming America like no President had done before, banning high-tech exports, and electing to negotiate more important things than trade. Things that appear to be unknown to this administration, such as human rights and arms control. The Clinton administration has no major treaty signed with China for strategic arms. While we are bound by SALT and the ABM treaties with the Soviet Union, a nation that no longer exists, China has no such restraints. The fact that Clinton has no Chinese nuclear arms treaty is clear evidence of his lacking in history's embrace of peacemakers. Nor is there any evidence that the PRC would adhere to treaties even if signed. In fact, according to documents obtained using the Freedom of Information Act, the Clinton administration has openly rewarded Chinese misdeeds and treaty violations. In 1998, Chinese officials denied America the right to inspect U.S. built super-computers exported for a so-called "academic" venture at Xian University. The denial was an open violation of a 1983 U.S./Sino trade treaty. The Clinton administration responded to the violation by allowing the export of more ultra-fast computers without inspection, violating U.S. trade restriction laws passed by Congress. Xian University, of course, is a major PLA weapon testing and development site. There is worse news. According to the General Accounting Office (GAO), the Clinton Administration allowed super-computers to be exported directly to Russian and Chinese nuclear laboratories. The GAO also noted that the super-computer exports took place with no evaluation of the impact on Chinese nuclear weapons development, missile design, genetic or biological weapons research or even the impact on national security by breaking our secret codes. One fact remains above the sex, sordid lies and dangerous phone calls; the White House was penetrated by Chinese Army agents. COSTIND Col. Lui met with Bill Clinton in the White House after donating money through Johnny Chung. The Chinese Army engaged in the most successful espionage effort of the twentieth century. Of course, they picked an easy target, Bill Clinton. China can be generous with its friends. China has every reason to share its good fortune. Defense experts are already tracing the vast array of advanced U.S. military technology sold to China in the missile arsenals of Iraq, Iran and North Korea. In Feb. 1999, the repercussions of the Chinagate scandal shot-down $500 million worth of satellites for communist China. The cancellation of the HUGHES sale to Asia Pacific Mobile Telephone (APMT) is a victory for western national security. APMT, the buyer of the Hughes satellites, is reported to be half owned by COSTIND, the same Chinese Army unit that penetrated the White House. According to the Defense Dept., the Hughes satellites were equipped with a sophisticated 40 foot antenna that could intercept U.S. military communications. The APMT satellites sales also included secure, encrypted, voice and data communications. Both the Defense Dept. and the State Dept. stuck to the argument the Hughes sales were a military transfer. DOD and State were backed by a vast array of documented abuses from inside the Commerce Dept. Their objections won the day and forced Clinton to turn down the Hughes export. Hughes, of course, does not like this. Hughes, and its former CEO, Michael Armstrong, donated millions of dollars to the DNC and Bill Clinton. Both have also openly complained that national security reviews are a threat to their profit margins. Obviously, their investment in Clinton, like the Asian satellite market, has turned sour. Yet, the threat to Hughes profits are minor in comparison to another threat - global thermo-nuclear war. Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, Chairman of the House Space sub-Committee recently illustrated that very real threat. Rohrbacher said "Some of the industry people that are complaining have betrayed their country. They have provided upgrades to communist Chinese rockets that threaten to incinerate millions of Americans. The administration has overseen and acquiesced to the transfer of rocket technologies to the communist Chinese that threatens the lives of every American. It's a disgrace." Clearly, the Hughes executives involved have no heart, no brain and certainly no honor. They, however, do have a wallet. The pain issued by loss of income clearly outweighs a long stay in the Hotel Hubbell Minimum Security Prison/Lippo Creative Accounting Institute. The lesson to be learned inside all U.S. corporations is that lost sales due to bad publicity far outweighs profits obtained from the Chinese Army. Rohrbacher is not alone in his conclusion of "betrayal". The Department of Defense accused both Hughes and the Commerce Dept. of passing advanced technology to the Chinese Army. The DOD reported that Hughes and the Commerce Dept. knowingly passed significant missile nose-cone design technology under the guise of a civilian launch accident investigation. According to the DOD report, the Commerce Dept. approved of the transfer even though they could NOT issue such a license. The Defense Department report states the Commerce Department issued licenses to the Chinese military that constituted a "defense service" within the meaning of the State Department's International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) under the Arms Control Act (ACEA). The Defense Department wrote "This was clearly beyond the scope of Commerce export control jurisdiction because only the Department of State is authorized to issues licenses for defense services". Furthermore, according to the Defense Dept., "the documents DoD reviewed reveal that Hughes was conscious of 'government constraints' in providing assistance to the Chinese... Commerce revealed the existence of these reports and other documents during interagency preparations for June 1998 Congressional hearings on satellite exports for launch in China." In 1998, Commerce claimed to this reporter that the records on COSTIND did not exist or if they did, they would be secret. In 1999, Federal Judge Payne shot down the "national security" excuse down. He ordered Commerce to produce everything - including national security materials - so the Court can double check. Who is it that Bill Clinton wants to keep the so-called secret from? The American people or the Chinese Army? The Chinese Army knows what went on in the Ron Brown meetings. The PLA Generals were there. They know exactly what they obtained from Loral, Hughes and Motorola. This reporter was forced to take the Commerce Dept. to Federal Court in an effort to discover the truth. Armed with the Federal Court order, this reporter is sure many more documents will soon be released. The American people will learn of the secret deals inside the White House, sooner rather than later. Commerce officials, including Secretary Daley, have every right to worry that the words "contempt" and "four years in jail" might appear next to their names. The alternative of full disclosure may yet save them from such a unfortunate fate. =============================================================== Source documents & The Court Order http://www.softwar.net/398cv716.html ================================================================ 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.
