Clinton in deep shit now? Leaders of the United Nations warned at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly that national borders will no longer be a deterrent to justified humanitarian intervention. Traditional considerations of national sovereignty will no longer be taken into account, Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the U.N., told the opening session of the 188-member world body. Governments must not allow divisions within the Security Council to derail legitimate intervention in places such as Rwanda and Kosovo, he said. "Massive and systematic violations of human rights - wherever they may take place - should not be allowed to stand." conservativenews.com Feature Stories NewsMax Says Trooper's Story Points to Clinton-Perot Deal in '92 Opinion by Carl Limbacher, NewsMax.com <http://www.newsmax.com> Was there a secret deal between Ross Perot and Bill Clinton to scuttle George Bush Sr.'s 1992 bid for reelection? Suspicions about such a bargain have been rampant for years. Now former Clinton bodyguard Larry Patterson has come forward to NewsMax.com with more behind-the-scenes information, and another puzzle piece has dropped into place. Patterson's firsthand account of a slew of secret contacts between Bill Clinton and the Texas billionaire during a crucial period of the 1992 presidential campaign may in fact be historic, because it corroborates an earlier report of a secret Perot-Clinton deal, which the billionaire denied and the mainstream press dismissed as simply too bizarre to be believed. The elite Clinton bodyguard told NewsMax.com <http://www.newsmax.com> executive editor Christopher Ruddy about his clear recollection of frequent communication between his then-boss and the maverick Texan. Patterson remembers the contacts well because he actually handled many of the Clinton-Perot phone calls himself. "Up until [Bill Clinton] was elected, we still made all his telephone calls, receiving all incoming calls to the mansion," Patterson explained. Patterson says he recalls at least a dozen conversations between the two supposed political rivals after the Texan's July 1992 decision to drop out of the presidential race. With Clinton's nomination in July, the Democratic Party had suddenly "revitalized itself," Perot explained at the time. Besides, the Bush campaign was simultaneously trying to sabotage his daughter's wedding. Perot threw in some mumbo jumbo about Black Panthers appearing on the his lawn one day, just for good measure. Whatever the exact reason, the third-party standard bearer was cashing in his chips and would be out of the race for good. After his departure, several polls showed Bush edging into the lead. Meanwhile, says Trooper Patterson, the Clinton-Perot contacts continued right though October. Then came Perot's seemingly impulsive decision to jump back into the race. Helped by his entertaining demeanor during three debates, Perot added to his base support and garnered a whopping 19 percent of the votes cast on election day. (cont) conservativenews.com
