THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
For the sake of brevity, this article does not deal with the accusations about Clinton and his connections with the drug traffic at Mena Airport when he was governor of Arkansas. This newsletter is only about serious questions raised during his terms as president. Most Americans are familiar with the fact that one of Clinton's first acts of office was to cut the budget of the Drug Czar's office by 83%.
Lulled by a pro-narco press or a frightened press the American public just did not "catch on" to what this decision implied. Later Clinton tried to cut more than 620 drug enforcement positions for the federal government (Office of National Drug Control Policy, 2/94). Still no public reaction. In spite of Secret Service protests Clinton hired White House staffers with extensive histories of crack cocaine and other drug use. (The Washington Post, 7/16/96). Still no alarm bells rang.
There is more. The idea behind the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is now believed by many to have been to open our southern border to the drug traffic. The cartels have certainly taken advantage of it. As Colombia sinks deeper and deeper into anarchy there have been desperate calls for help from their government, but Clinton "does not want to interfere in a civil war." (Didn't stop him in Bosnia.)
The State Department had promised some special helicopters which could operate at high altitudes and spray the cocoa leaf crops, but when the request reached the White House Clinton turned it down. There were some special large x-ray machines that a California Representative wanted installed at the Mexican border. These machines were supposed to be able to detect illegal drug shipments in those large trucks that barrel through the border crossing without stopping. The money, set aside in the Pentagon Budget, disappeared.
Let's add the matter of the appointments of federal judges. The case of Timothy Sherman convicted in Maryland for the brutal shotgun murders of his mother and step-father. Two judges, one of which was James Beaty (a Clinton appointment) reversed the conviction and granted a new trial. To turn to another disturbing case. The New York Times of January 25, 1996, tells the story of Carol Bayless, who confessed to charges of possession of 75 pounds of cocaine and 4.4 pounds of heroin. She faced a minimum sentence of 10-years in jail and as much as life imprisonment. But Judge Harold Baer, appointment by Clinton , ruled. Bayless innocent and the Police Officers overstepping their authority! In 1994, by a vote of 61 to 37, the Senate confirmed a Florida State judge (Rosemary Barkett) for the eleventh circuit, that no impartial person would have appointed to the Federal bench.
Time and again, Judge Barkett, as a State judge, erroneously came down on the side of lawbreakers and against police officers and law enforcement. The full record of Senator Orrin Hatch's concerns about judicial appointments is set forth in the March 22, 1994, Congressional Record. Senator Hatch says, "I will have more to say about these judges in the future, but I have become so alarmed about some of these decisions that I just felt I had to come to the floor today and make this point, since ..... these type of judges are giving me the chills, and I think they are giving the American people the chills as well."
On top of all of this we have the pictures taken of President and Mrs. Clinton at the White House with some known drug dealers. Also, there was the nomination of William Weld (a Republican) to be our ambassador to Mexico. As ambassador, under terms of the Panama Canal Treaty then being negotiated, our the Central American Ambassadors would have control of the Central American borders. Weld has been mentioned in connection with illegal drug importations during the Bush administration. After all the Clinton pro-drug appointments and attempted appointments Jessie Helms had good cause to be suspicious and stopped the Weld nomination without bothering to hold a hearing.
The most incriminating evidence of all has been the probable murder of Ron Brown. Brown's body, with what pathologists thought was a bullet hole in the top of his head, was never formally examined, and the news about the bullet hole was suppressed. It looked like the work of drug thugs in an attempt to keep Brown from spilling the beans about Clinton which Brown had threatened to do.
The huge influx of illegal drugs has caused havoc along our southern border and farther north. The same pattern of assassinations, corruption, and just general mayhem is evident also in some states bordering Canada. The school shootings which have made the national news have caused speculation about our decline in moral values, the violent nature of American society, media violence, and the availability of firearms. Isn't it strange that all this violence neatly coincides with the increase in the importation of illegal drugs?
At the June 9 international meeting on drugs in New York Clinton announced a five year media program to discourage drug use. Let the reader note the Clinton does not advocate drug supply interdiction, he talks only about consumption! Will the program actually materialize? If it is like many other Clinton proposals it is nothing more than rhetoric. The public will soon forget; he can blame Congress for not appropriating the money, and in the meantime it sounds good. At this U.N. meeting we have the very sad situation of some world leaders standing and denouncing the drug trade when there are ample reasons to suspect that some of these same leaders are themselves deeply involved in the illegal traffic.
Even if Clinton is impeached, the drug problem will still be with us. So many governments have been subverted that there is now international concern that the monster that is the international trade in narcotics, allied with some media giants and other multinational corporations, bigger than the trade in either automobiles or oil, will one day control the world.
