Clinton, drugs and Kosovo etc: what is going on?
By James Henry
No. 129, 9-15 Aug. 1999
I have made it clear on more than one occasion that I'm not prone to conspiracy theories, other than for amusement. Occam's Razor is my guiding principle and one that has stood me in good stead. None of this is to suggest that I'm unaware of corruption, treason, cowardice and just plain old fashioned greed. Quite the contrary, I believe these sins are so prevalent in today's world, where 'moral relativism' seems to be the ruling order, that many people are seduced into thinking there is some kind of world-wide conspiracy. This brings me to a series of apparently unrelated events that will be interpreted by some as evidence of the New World Order at work. I fear, however, it is something far worse than any conspiracy: A corrupt and deep-rooted hostility to our own society. The events are Kosovo, Colombia and Taiwan. The common link is Clinton and 'liberalism'.
Sometime in the mid-fifties Kruschev presided over a secret meeting of Warsaw Pact officials. It was there that he revealed the intention of the Soviet Union to encourage the drug trade as part of its war of subversion against the US. It seems the Korean War had alerted the Soviets to the possibilities of using drugs against the US. Naturally China would became part of this campaign. However, the Sino-Soviet split saw Beijing pursue an independent drugs campaign against the US. This had the two-fold advantage, in Beijing's eyes, of allowing it to accumulate dollars while simultaneously weakening capitalism.
These key events now bring us to the present and the decadent swaggering figure of Bill Clinton. There is no doubt that the main motive for Clinton's bombing of Serbia was to drive his scandals out of the media. However, the end of the campaign witnessed a curious turn of events which would have probably escaped a great deal of attention if they had remained in isolation.
Let's take a look at a few facts that the Clinton networks have chosen to ignore. Germany?s Federal Criminal Agency reports that Albania is the center of Europe's heroin trade and also acts as a conduit to the US. Of particular interest is that the trade is under the virtual control of the KLA leadership, formerly considered by the State Department to be a terrorist organisation, until Clinton decided otherwise. Not only does the leadership have strong links to Islamic terrorists it is also noted for (surprise, surprise) its anti-Western pro-Beijing views. Putting this criminal organisation in charge of Kosovo is worse than putting the Mafia in charge of Italy. Not only is Clinton's decision in danger of turning Kosovo into a drug lord's mandate it might also create a beachhead in Europe for Middle East terrorists. Why did Clinton do this, despite sound warnings from intelligence and State Department officials? Why did he allow the KLA to shunt aside the Democratic Mr Rugova in favour of their man Hashim Thraci?
We now come to Colombia which produces 66 percent of the heroine and about 80 percent of the cocaine that enters the US. For 30 years Marxist-Leninist guerillas have been waging a vicious war to turn the country into a Marxist totalitarian state. These Guerrilla's have now formed an alliance with the drug lords, enabling them to use drug money while waging their own drug war against the capitalist US. Clinton's response to these drug-running terrorists was to unofficially send Peter Romero to meet with them and formulate a peace plan.
The so-called peace plan involved handing half the country over to the communist guerrillas and allowing them to keep both their arms and the drugs trade. What kind of treaty would hand over half a country to a pack of Marxist totalitarians? Clinton's. Making it even worse is that the guerrillas would be using the proceeds from their continuing drug war on the US to build up their own military strength. In the meantime the Colombian government's forces would be run down as military supplies dried up. This is already happening. Even though Congress approved military aid for the Colombian Government Clinton has made sure that none of it was delivered.
What gives here? Is Clinton planning on doing to Colombia what a Democrat-controlled Congress did to South Vietnam? A few CIA and the State Department officials have already arrived at that conclusion. As for Romero, Clinton's nominee for Assistant Secretary of State, believe it or not, the best that can be said of him is that he has criminal-like lack of judgement. Readers might have other ideas about what really lies behind his actions.
We finally arrive at Taiwan. No sooner does Lee Teng hui, Taiwan's elected president, make noises about an independent and democratic Taiwan than Clinton immediately leaps to Beijing's support in condemning Lee. He also lets it be known to Lee that he will circumvent the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act if Lee pursues his independent line. In a totally outrageous maneuver he reinforced his odious message by having Admiral Dennis Blair publicly state that Taiwan should not be defended. No wonder Lee took the hint.
The triangle is finally complete. At its points we have Kosovo, Colombia and Taiwan. What is the connection. No, it ain't China. It ain't even Clinton. It's 'liberalism'. Observing Clinton during the years I have noticed that even when he makes a decision on impulse it is always in the same direction ? Left. Though he doesn't really have a thought-out liberal perspective he does have deeply ingrained 'liberal' impulses. Colombian guerrillas are automatically given the benefit of the doubt because they are socialists while the legitimate government is starved of supplies. This is why Democrats handed South Vietnam over to Hanoi and this why Clinton will do the same in Colombia if he can get away with it. The same goes for the KLA, despite its drug-running operations. Not that drug running bothers Bill that much ? ask his brother.
Liberals see Taiwan as a small capitalist island that rightfully belongs to China, despite what the inhabitants want. So according to Bill's statist way of thinking these people have no right to independence1. Kosovo was different because Milosevic was obviously a fascist. (This, incidentally, is not a line of reasoning that Beijing supports and for obvious reasons).
Clinton's liberal impulses created a pattern of political behavior that many have misconceived as part of a wider conspiracy. Falling into the trap of confusing order with a deliberate design they have concluded that there is some sort of political cabal at work. There isn't. Don't look for conspiracies, you'll always find them, just as medieval witchfinders could always find witches and warlocks.
It is Clinton's fundamentalist 'liberal' view of the world that provides him with the justification for taking drug money, accepting bribes, partying with Asian gangsters and selling out to Beijing. As one of the "anointed", as Thomas Sowell perceptively called them, Clinton has a set of assumptions that has literally given him the belief that he is morally superior to his critics, especially if they are Republicans. "Judge me for what I say and believe not by what I do", is an essential part of the 'liberal' creed. This is why the 'liberal' media will always support this rapist no matter what. Look at what drives the likes of Clinton and his supporters and you will get your answer.
I've ignored the possibility of Blackmail because it is Clinton's 'liberal' impulses that explain his political behaviour.
Liberalism has been put in inverted commas because American liberalism is anything but liberal. |
