I haven't read the Brill report, but I did read about Starr leaking items to the press. I also read some articles about the White House leaking items to the press to make Starr look bad. Who did what? Probably both are true and as far as I'm concerned if Starr broke the law, then he should also be prosecuted, but I'm not sure that rule 6E is a law or a guide line... at the very least toss him as a special prosecuter and put someone in there that will investigate the more serious crimes... not that to lie under oath is not serious.

By no stretch of the imagination can their attacks on Brill be construed as being supportive of C1inton. An important point to remember is that an attack on 5tarr does not necessarily indicate support of C1inton. Some of us who consider C1inton to be guilty of something think that the letter of the law should be followed, and that the O I C represents a threat to what little democracy we have left.

What would a 'B' do to play 'AAA'? Exactly. Reagan is probably WORSE, since he was so good at hiding it behind his teflon veneer... Which gives me an opening for once more 'trolling' a nagging question regarding Ronnie and his politics (and with apologies to those on the list who've read this from me before)... But shortly after Reagan won the election in 1980, I read an article in a mainstream magazine (I believe it was something like Parade), where the actress June Allyson discussed her life...it wasn't a particularly political interview, but there WERE a few interesting paragraphs in the middle of the article where she mentioned the relationship/friendship she and her then husband, Dick Powell, had with the Reagans in the late 40s, early 50s... Ronald Reagan was president of the actor's union at the time, and professed a political philosophy that was extremely left of center... while Powell's politics were extremely 'rightwing'... So it seems strange that two men with such ostensibly divergent views would not only be friends, but would come over to each others' houses at least once a week for dinner...but this is the scenario Ms. Allyson presented... And she said that Dick and Ron would often get into heated political arguments...Allyson presented herself as being 'apolitical' and not getting into these arguments herself, and claims not to remember the exact arguments, only that they'd always disagree, and heatedly so... But according to her, one night at one of these dinners, when Dick and Ron were beginning to get into one of these arguments, Dick took Ron alone into the Powell's library and closed (and locked? how would Allyson have known it was locked?) the doors...and according to Allyson, it got very quiet in there, and after about 20 minutes they both came out...at which time, Ron's political philosophy had taken a 180 degree turn, and he was now as 'rightwing' as Dick Powell... Allyson recounted this incident as the 'defining' moment when Ronald Reagan went from being liberal to conservative, and gave her ex-husband the credit for 'bringing Ron around'... As I said, the article wasn't particularly about Reagan nor even political, and after recounting the above, the article went into other matters...but it always stuck with me, wondering just WHAT Powell said and/or did behind those closed doors that was able to turn Reagan from a liberal to a conservative in 20 minutes, after months of weekly heated arguments had failed... And so I ask the list membership the question I always ask when I've recounted this -- does anyone remember this article, or hearing this story elsewhere? And more importantly, does anyone have a clue as to what Powell said or did to Reagan during those 20 minutes? I personally don't have a clue, but when I read that article it gave me the creeps...I mean, if someone's ideals can be so easily turned in only 20 minutes, it implies either a weak (or non-existent) mind/ego, and possibly a mind-control scenario of the Manchurian Candidate type...

It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries" - David Rockefeller, in an address given to Catherine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post and other media luminaries in attendance in Baden Baden, Germany at the June 1991 annual meeting of the world elite Bilderberg Group "There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes.

Re: [CTRL] Heads Up: Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- (Parts of this are in reference to the message being responded to in the message quoted) Exactly which form of communism are you referring to? The failed authoritarian right-wing Russian and Chinese models or the idealistic left-wing view (I hate this whole Aristolean dualistic thing, but it seems to be the model used here) that has never been seen in any world government to the best of my knowledge? They are definitely not the same thing. I think that a strong argument can be made that the Chinese version of communism is actually a very conservative and extreme right-wing (if we have to label these things so) organization. Also, to the best of my knowledge the presidential impeachment proceedings have nothing to do with Mena. I'm not arguing that isn't guilty in the whole Mena fiasco, I feel that he may be, but the impeachment proceedings just don't have anything to do with it (yet at least). He cannot be impeached due to Mena if no one ever brings it up in the proceedings. -Original Message- From: Kenn Thomas [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 14, 1998 10:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [CTRL] "Heads Up": Bill Clinton Is Finished -Caveat Lector- Why is it that every time something is posted about Commie Lover Clinton all we hear about is Bush and Reagan.

Re: [CTRL] Heads Up Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- anti-Clinton is verboten. I have not posted anything pro-Clinton. His sell-out to the Chinese was more than a crime against the US, it was one against the world. The threat of the military satellite hardware he sold to the Chinese for the sake of donations to the Democrats apparently was the real reason behind India's nuclear blasts. It does, however, fall into the category of the October Surprise, where traitorous Reagan made a deal with enemy Iran in order to steal the election from Carter. We know he did it, but we can't prove it, and he will never be held accountable for it. He even repeated the pattern with Iran-contra and yet people still regard him as honorable. "Conservative" to me means a strict interpretation of the Constitution... something both parties ignore. Selective use of laws allows the media to be controlled. Corporations should have their power taken away by revoking their charters for bribing officials and officials can be recalled for accepting bribes. Clinton takes bribes even from foreign countries hostile to the US such as Communist China... do you deny that also? Clinton has been up front in acknowledging that presidential power does not come from the Constitution but from secret ruling elites, who work for transnational corporate interests. This is the basic premise of Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, and Clinton regarded Quigley as his mentor at Georgetown, quoted him at the Democratic con. Secret elites and corporatism have not ordinarily been defined as the "left." Again trying to change the subject. Reagan and Bush are no longer in office, you cannot impeach them. However, if Clinton is impeached for his drug involvement and bribe taking... this may open the door for cleaning out all of Congress to include the "Evil Republicans" why can't you see that?

-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 98-12-14 14:37:53 EST, you write: I have not posted anything pro-Clinton. His sell-out to the Chinese was more than a crime against the US, it was one against the world. The threat of the military satellite hardware he sold to the Chinese for the sake of donations to the Democrats apparently was the real reason behind India's nuclear blasts. It does, however, fall into the category of the October Surprise, where traitorous Reagan made a deal with enemy Iran in order to steal the election from Carter. We know he did it, but we can't prove it, and he will never be held accountable for it. He even repeated the pattern with Iran-contra and yet people still regard him as honorable. I have often thought that since Reagan was so incompetent and merely a mouthpiece, that Bush was running the Presidency even while Ronnie was in office. Clinton has been up front in acknowledging that presidential power does not come from the Constitution but from secret ruling elites, who work for transnational corporate interests. This is the basic premise of Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, and Clinton regarded Quigley as his mentor at Georgetown, quoted him at the Democratic con. Secret elites and corporatism have not ordinarily been defined as the "left." Corporatism I would define as very right wing, but I'm not sure how to define the secret elites. I would also add that banking also plays a big part in the secret government. As for Q... "The CFR [Council On Foreign Relations, New York City] is the American Branch of a society which originated in England and believes national directives should be obliterated and one-world rule established. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years, and was permitted in the early 1960's to examine its papers and secret records ... I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known" - Dr. Carroll Quigley, Professor of International Relations, Georgetown University Foreign Service School, Washington, D.C., author of the epic "Tragedy Hope", advocate of one-world government and personal mentor of President William Clinton (who acknowledged Professor Quigley during his 1992 presidential inauguration speech) I'm with you on this, Bob.

What media are YOU watching? All the mainstream shows I watch (CNN, The Today Show, et al), they all unanimously kowtow to the Klintons...treating them like royalty, never subjecting them to hard questions. And this past week, the talking heads on these shows have looked 'shell shocked', totally surprised that the impeachment articles were passed... Just a few minutes ago, on Fox News, one of the talking heads opined that 'the media' will present impeachment in the worst possible light, and that the media 'will not allow impeachment of the president'... Hardly sounds like they're in the pocket of the Republicans... Nothing new. They haven't stopped all year and they're not about to stop now. The only thing that makes this "surprising" is the polls--which still say this is NOT what the American public wants. First off, even if these polls are accurate, they matter not a whit. The government is one of LAWS, and hopefully of our representatives going with their conscious, and not one of public opinion polls. Secondly, I am extremely skeptical of these polls...first off, most of the public equates the word 'impeachment' with automatic removal from office, so if you ask them just a blunt "Should the president be impeached?", they assume the questioner is asking "Should the president be immediately removed from office?", and answer no. I think the resulting answers would be very different if the question was worded "Should the charges against the president be assessed by the House of Representatives, and if judged to have some basis, then passed on to the Senate to conduct an investigation, and if such an investigation uncovered serious wrong-doing, have the Senate remove the President from office by a two-thirds affirmative vote in the Senate?"... The debate on the Judiciary Committee yesterday touched on this...the Republicans finally brought the fact that most people have an erroneous idea of what 'impeachment' means by repeatedly stating 'the House accuses, the Senate tries (and possibly convicts)'and the Democrats reaction to that betrays their desire to keep the exact definition of 'impeachment' cloudy in the minds of the public, so they can 'justify' their claim that the public doesn't want it... Listening to the callers into CSPAN, those who support Clinton amply displayed their ignorance of just what impeachment is...in fact, they almost all betrayed the fact that they don't even know what the 4 articles of impeachment actually state... And that is the most frightening element of this whole thing. That neither the Congressional majority nor the media cares a fig what the electorate wants. The majority of Germans supported Hitler, too... The majority of Americans at one time supported the enslavement of the Negro race... The majority of Americans at one time supported the right of only white males having the right to vote... The majority of Americans at one time supported denying the right of a woman to a safe and legal abortion... Just because a majority supports an idea or a person, does NOT mean such support is morally, or legally, correct... Someone here made an excellent post some time back about the humiliation of Democratic presidents in our time. They have not merely been accused of "wrongdoing," but have been dragged before the American public in shame. Lord knows I'm no knee-jerk Republican supporter, but the only Democratic presidents 'in our time' have been (going in reverse order): 1. Clinton -- who came into office with a lot of 'baggage', and an obvious defect of character where he admittedly allows his hormones to control his actions... Not to mention all the other really serious stuff... all the mysterious deaths surrounding him, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Chinagate, etc Hardly a saint without blemish, one can NOT blame anyone but Clinton himself for his own undoing... 2. Carter -- shot himself in his own foot with the Panama Canal, the neutron bomb debate, and the economy... While the release of the Iran hostages was obviously 'gummed up' by the Reagan camp, one cannot forget the fact that it was Carter's policies which LEAD to the Embassy takeover in the first place... Again, someone who has to take a significant amount of blame for his own downfall...which, in fact, he does, based on an interview with him I heard a few months ago. So, that about covers the two Democratic presidents whom could reasonably fit the bill of those you feel have been the victim of some sort of rightwing vendetta... But that only takes us

I haven't seen any poll where it was first determined that the person being polled even understood what impeachment really is.

Yes...how many other ex-Presidents do you find climbing up on a ladder in the hot summer sun to swing a hammer, helping to build houses for Habitat for Humanity...I daresay you won't see Clinton doing so, either... I do not for a minute think Clinton is an innocent choirboy. But I'd prefer that he be given the benefit of the protections afforded by our Constitution and the laws of the land. Uhhh...then I suggest you read Article I, Sections 2 3, and Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, and then come back here and discuss what IS and is not, constitutional...

I've never heard one mainstream media pundit say anything supportive of Starr...if anything, they consistently present him as 'strange', 'dogmatic', 'driven', 'fanatical'... Starr and Clinton are buddies, Starr is saving Clinton's butt by not bringing up charges of treason for accepting bribes from the Red Chinese in the form of campaign donations. And other matters... But I suspect the vehemence against Starr is due more to the fact that Clinton and his camp expected Starr to be a knee-jerk butt-kisser, and have been surprised that he's shown a measure of independence from them...of course, this doesn't mean that Starr may not be kissing someone ELSE's butt, and is serving THEIR agenda... But the end result is that the Clintonistas have been surprised that everything wasn't swept under the rug...but I suspect that Starr focused on the 'easy' subject of Clinton's sexual escapades, a subject easily understood by the American public, sure to garner 'OJ Clinton' type coverage by the media, and hard for Congress to ignore... I suspect Starr's strategy was to hand Congress an 'easy' matter to investigate, basically washing his hands of the harder and dirtier stuff, leaving that for Congress to deal with, if they so choose...an 'iffy' proposition, since a lot of that dirt is squarely on many members of Congress, too... So the Lewinsky scandal gives them an 'out' to investigate, and possibly remove the president from office, charges which are solely on Clinton, and wouldn't lead into areas that could be very embarassing, to say the least, for some of those in Congress...

Re: [CTRL] Heads Up: Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- Today, Bill Clinton gave his final good-bye to America in an abrupt Rose Garden speech where he reiterated his apologies for misdeeds, both the implied specific and the unmentioned general. It reminds me of when one is suing someone...at the point that the party you are suing comes back and makes an offer to settle (at terms more favorable to the defendant than what would be imposed by the court), they've basically admitted guilt and the unliklihood that they will prevail in court -- else they wouldn't be making the offer in the first place... Considering most congresscritters are lawyers (or ex-lawyers), they are very aware of this principle...so I suspect this latest POTUS ploy asking for censure will in fact backfire... In the normal context, his speech made no sense, coming as it did synchronous to the House committee having approved the first article of impeachment. What an odd time to apologize (in the normal context)! They're aware that they've lost the fight to stop the articles from being approved and passed onto the House of Representatives, so now they're switching their focus to those moderates of both parties in the House who are waivering on whether to vote for impeachment or not...Clinton and his advisors are hoping that by offering to 'accept censure' (like he'd have a choice, anyways), that they can sway those fence-sitters to vote against impeachment... With censure, Bubba gets a slap on the wrist, and then continues on with business as usual...including the ability to collect his presidential pension and hold high government positions after the year 2001... Irregardless that censure is unConstitutional... But suppose Bill Clinton is about to disappear, in one manner or another. This news service cannot say whether a FAKED DEATH of Bill Clinton is on the horizon. I doubt it. Bubba wants too much to join the Hollywood and international jet-set crowd after his term to accept such a situation, which would necessarily require that he become an international persona non grata... The only way this scenario would make sense is if 'someone' has big plans for Hillary to make a run for the office of president sometime in the future...as the spouse of an impeached president, even a 'wronged' spouse, and especially if Bubba is removed from office by the Senate, her chances for a future bid for the presidency are nil... But as the 'widow' of a president 'assassinated' while in office, she'd find that the American public's memory of Bubba's antics is short, and she'd be in the position of an 'honored' widow But quite frankly, if such a scenario DOES have any element of truth, for the life of me I can't see why they'd FAKE the death...with all that they'd have to keep secret, hidden, and covered up, why add the extra burden of keeping Bubba undercover for the next 30 or more years...? It would be easier just to 'off' him in fact. They got away with it 35 years ago, no reason they wouldn't think they could get away with it now... (Just to make sure I'm being perfectly clear on this, there is NOTHING in my speculation that should be construed that I ENDORSE a possible assassination...I am just responding to the speculation presented in the original post, and presenting my reasons for why, if an assassination scenario IS in the works, an actual assassination would make more sense to those who are planning it, rather than a 'faked' one...) Bob Schiffer, on the CBS Network News broadcast of 12/11/98, was all choked up -- really all choked up and not faking it -- when he reported on Bill Clinton's abrupt FINAL GOOD-BYE speech today in the Rose Garden. Did anyone catch Katie Couric at the WH earlier this week, for the tree lighting...she was like a puppy, licking the shoes of the Clintons... Bubba was properly subdued and contrite... A key CNNS source, DOUBLE CODE-NAMED "Slim Bacall," had privately speculated that a FAKED DEATH of Bill Clinton was on the horizon, probably in Israel. There seems to be an inordinate amount of congresscritters -- including Schumer -- also going along on this trip... Last major event in this process seemed to coincide with Rosh Hashona and Yom Kippur...now Bubba goes to Israel right when Hannukkah starts, corresponding to when the House commences impeachment proceedings... don't know what this might mean (if anything), it just seems more than a tad coincidental...perhaps a ploy to try to gain Jewish support? Will we get a picture of Bubba praying at the Wailing Wall, with explanation that that 'proves' he's repented and that God Himself has now forgiven him (why can't Congress?) Don't be surprised to hear him make some sort of reference to Hannukkah, comparing Congress to the ancient Assyrians who forbade the Jews from lighting the temple lights... As i said, things are going on in the Jud Comte with the Dems learning things that they are having BAD problems with. They have promised to

For years prior to that they have consistently espoused a left-wing agenda. ..Are you suggesting that all of this is some sort of reverse pyschology? Nothing new. They haven't stopped all year and they're not about to stop now. The only thing that makes this "surprising" is the polls--which still say this is NOT what the American public wants. And that is the most frightening element of this whole thing. That neither the Congressional majority nor the media cares a fig what the electorate wants. Yes, it is surprising that the polls say this - if they are legitimate. Actually the most frightening element would be the possibility that these polls might indeed be true, which would prove that our society has finally devolved literally into "the ignorant masses." I would not argue that "neither the Congressional majority nor the media care a fig what the electorate wants," but in fairness, and in the interest of accuracy, I would have to add that neither does the congressional minority. Someone here made an excellent post some time back about the humiliation of Democratic presidents in our time. They have not merely been accused of "wrongdoing," but have been dragged before the American public in shame. Which presidents do you have in mind? All of Roosevelt's "accomplishments" went against American tradition as well as the intent and spirit of our constitution, yet he is revered by the media as well as in history texts. I don't recall Truman getting an unfair review. John Kennedy was a pretty ineffectual president; everything he did turned to fecal matter. Yet after he was assassinated he became a national hero. Even today, when his sexual escapades are brought up, it is in a tone giving him an air of macho-ism. As to L. B. Johnson, like FDR, his is an example of unlimited power abused for the purposes of personal political enrichment. In an era when the popularity of the concept of socialism was at one of its peaks, Johnson took every advantage. Today we are reaping the consequences of his "Great Society." Yet when his character flaws are discussed by today's media, they are passed off as amusing eccentricies. He too seems revered by the media for his efforts to further the socialist cause. If you mean Jimmy Carter, yes he's been laughed at quite a bit, but not by the media. His problem was simply incompetence; he simply wasn't up to the job. But that is not a part of his historical legacy. His legacy is merely that he was a very nice man. And this brings us to Mr. Clinton. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton met with some unfortunate accident on his current tripIt will be interesting to see if he gets back in one piece. Time will tell. Let us hope that no harm comes to him. It would be the wrong way to have our problem solved. Make no mistake. This is a bloodless coup. It is you and the pundits who are helping to form your opinions who are making the mistake. This is not a coup. It is the legitimate activity of the American constitutional system of government in reaction to a crisis. A bit late and a bit light perhaps, but the system is working, and at least so far, we should all be thankful for that. And all of you who think that you hate/dislike/disapprove of Clinton are not going to like what comes nextbut you will deserve it. This I would agree with. None of us is going to like what comes next. And we will all deserve it. Those of us who vehemently disapprove of the level of corruption exemplified by your Mr. Clinton will deserve it because of our apathy, lack of protest. Those like yourself who condone and support the actions of men like Bill Clinton will deserve it because of your unwillingness to see truth through your own smokey aura of petty and selfish emotion. It is a sad thing for all of us. Jim sno0wl DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substancenot soapboxing!
