The following is *"..HILLARY-SPEAK.."* for: 1) He's a philandering Son of a Bitch. 2) I can't trust my husband, the Shrinks say it's not his fault. 3) I'll put up with anything - to get to use this White House launching pad for my "..pretend-I'm-a-New-Yorker.." run for the Senate. 4) He's stuck between Janet-the-OOgly and me, and Madelline and me, what's a poor dumbass lawyer from Arkansas to do. 5) Please don't notice that I'm really from Illinois (where they shit-canned Carol Mosely Super-liberal Brown) - you ignorant twits from New York. 6) Please don't notice that I'm really from Arkansas - you ignorant twits from New York. 7) I've just gots-ta get closer to Wall Steet, and my "..(Golly-Gee, I'm not really an insider) BIG-RETURN COMMODITIES DEALS.."!! FYI: Saturday July 31, 5:42 pm Eastern Time Note: this article has a followup with more information. Hillary Clinton: why I stood by my man - report LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, U.S. First Lady and likely candidate for the U.S. Senate, has talked for the first time about why she stood by her man and blamed the President's infidelity on childhood abuse, said the Sunday Times. President Bill Clinton's wife said his two-timing ''weakness'' stemmed from a trauma caused by childhood abuse, the report said. Quoting extracts from an interview due to be published this week in Talk, a new magazine edited by ex-New Yorker editor Tina Brown, the report quoted the First Lady blaming the President's childhood experiences for a chain reaction of philandering. Referring to her husband as a ''hard dog to keep on the porch,'' she said dealing with ''bimbo eruptions'' had long been part of their marriage. For many years she believed his weakness was under control until the scandal of his sexual relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky erupted and at one stage threatened the presidency. Clinton said in the report that the affair with Lewinsky took place after the death of the President's father and their friend Vincent Foster. ''He couldn't protect me, so he lied...this was a sin of weakness.'' ''Yes, he has weaknesses. Yes, he needs to be more disciplined, but it is remarkable given his background that he turned out to be the kind of person he is, capable of such leadership,'' she was quoted saying in the Sunday Times. ''He was so young, barely four, when he was scarred by abuse. There was terrible conflict between his mother and grandmother. A psychologist told me that being in the middle of a conflcit between two women is the worst possible situations,'' Clinton said. She went on to describe her vigil for many years to monitor her husband's faithfulness. ''I thought he had conquered it. I thought he understood it, but he didn't go deep enough or work hard enough,'' she said. Asked whether their marriage could survive the strains of her embarking on a solo political career in the Senate, she said: ''He's responsible for his behaviour whether I'm there or 100 miles away...it is their (the person's) responsibility whether it's gambling, drinking or women. Nobody can do it for you.'' Clinton is currently on a campaign-style tour in New York. If she decides to run for the Senate seat being vacated next year she will be the first president's wife ever to seek office.

More of *WHY SOME OF US FEAR CLINTON* Published in the Aug. 2, 1999 issue of The Washington Weekly Copyright 1999 The Washington Weekly (http://www.federal.com) Reposting permitted with this message intact "....The plaintiffs would like to question Flowers about the series of break-ins at her residence, threats made to herself and to her mother, and the savage beating of a neighbor who had video tape of Clinton entering Flowers' apartment. The neighbor's name was Gary Johnson. The video camera in his home security system happened to catch Clinton letting himself in to Flowers' apartment on several occasions. But Clinton had denied in an interview on "60 Minutes" that he had ever visited Flowers. Johnson's big mistake was to boast of having the tapes while drinking at a local night spot. On June 26, 1992, three weeks before the Democratic convention, he was visited by three strapping big fellows with short hair who resembled state troopers. They slapped him around a bit and demanded the tapes, which he promptly handed over. But instead of leaving, they continued to beat him, breaking both of his elbows, perforating his bladder and rupturing his spleen, which had to be removed. Mr. Johnson, who is now permanently institutionalized, believes they intended to kill him. This and other ugly little incidents involving people who were not very good friends of Bill lend weight to the contention that the nine potential witnesses in the Browning lawsuit have reason to feel intimidated. Not that anyone would ever suspect it from reading the censored, slanted, spun and spotty news in the mainstream press, whose mind-numbed minions never tire of reminding us that they are the main bastion of American freedom. Their performance in suppressing this story is reminiscent of the role played by much of the German press in ignoring Nazi thuggery during the 1920s and 1930s. Of those who think it can't happen here I would ask, who's going to stop it -- the lily-livered liars who style themselves "journalists" in modern imperial Amerika?..." ********************************************************* WHEN NEWS IS NO LONGER NEWS Editorial By Marvin Lee You know you live in a banana republic when news of corruption in government is no longer treated as news but is yawned at, shrugged off, and considered redundant. Consider these revelations from just this past week: * The Associated Press reported that the high-profile Chinagate and Whitewater cases against Clinton friends Webster Hubbell and Charlie Trie were not assigned randomly to judges as is customary, but were assigned to judges appointed by President Clinton and affiliated with his defenders. Both judges, Thomas Friedman and James Robertson, immediately proceeded to throw out key counts against the president's friends, raising questions about their impartiality. * A Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) lawsuit was filed in amended form against the White House and Loral, Inc. by Loral shareholders alleging a conspiracy to sellout U.S. national security interests for political contributions. * Fox News reported that the Justice Department is ignoring evidence and testimony given by Charlie Trie and Johnny Chung that link Democratic Party officials to the Chinese military through political contributions. * Judicial Watch pointed out that the fine of $90,000 to be paid by President Clinton for lying in court will likely be picked up by the Chinese through their donations to his Legal Defense Fund, while the whistleblower who revealed the physical evidence of his lies faces 10 years in prison if a political trial of her proceeds. Yet none of this is news because it is what we have come to expect. It is a mere repetition or confirmation of the revelations of the week before and the week before that. We know our government is absolutely corrupt -- from the executive, over the legislative, to the judicial branch and the media that is supposed to watch it. We know we live in a banana republic.

Yet at the end of the article, he states that Americans basically don't care about the corruption in the Clinton White House. I dare say that Americans do care; yet our attempts to be heard fall on deaf ears. Our Senators and Congressmen, if they pretend to be at all concerned, will not do anything about the myriad of treasonous, perjurious, immoral, and deceitful activities of Bill Clinton and his underlings. I have emailed both of my senators countless times and yet I receive either a) a form-letter response which does not address my main point or b) a personal letter which indicates that my senator is very concerned too and is grateful for my letter. It is no wonder that most Americans appear to have given up; how very discouraging it is to have one's concerns ignored, yawned at, or dismissed outright by those voted into office. As a matter of fact, my Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, refuses to have an email address or a website; apparently, he'd rather not hear from his constituency. While I do keep a close eye on current events (thanks to the non-mainstream media), I have no doubt that Washington will continue on business as usual, regardless of how many emails I send or letters to the editor I compose. ---Joan Burke, Lakewood OH ********************************************************** The United States is still early on the path to destruction, there is more to come and it will get worse...
