The far right are limited by choice as to Internet usage.

The far right red zone Bush 'supporters' generally abhor the Internet.

The few here are 'leading edge,' brought here by their rare circumstances of having accumulated enough money to 'trade stocks' in the mania period. Tech stocks, that is.

Most of the red zone don't own computers -- and disdain all such 'interfering' technology in their lives.

wow kevie, you are one paranoid retardamondo. LOL, here's a story about the younger brother of the stupidest that ever was.

Roger Clinton to FBI: I Collected Cash for Bill

Former first brother Roger Clinton has confessed that he routinely accepted money from foreign officials during the 1990's with the understanding he would turn the cash over to his brother, then-President Bill Clinton.

According to Roger Clinton's FBI witness statement, taken in September 1999 and released by the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee this week, the younger Clinton admitted that he was "often offered money" when he accepted invitations to travel abroad.

"He stated that he would not accept the invitation unless he could earn the money," the Clinton FD-302 says.

He would insist on earning some of the payments by taking his six member rock'n'roll band with him and performing during the visit, Clinton claimed.

"He is a musician and wants to be recognized for his music," the FBI says he told him. "He likes to perform for children during these trips and attempts to make those arrangements."

Clinton told investigators that he had traveled to South Korea six times "as the personal guest of President Kim Dae Jung" and was paid "as much as $200,000 for performing on a trip."

But on other occasions when money changed hands, it was intended, not for Roger, but for the president himself.

"Clinton advised that during his earliest trips, at the beginning of the president's term, he would be offered money for the president from some of the foreign government officials he was visiting," according to Roger's FD-302.

"He stated (that) years ago he did not know he could not accept money for the president."

Based on Roger Clinton's statements, it's clear that President Clinton and/or his advisors were aware that the former first brother was collecting money on his behalf.

"(Roger) Clinton stated that he was told by either the president or his staff that he could not bring money back from a foreign country to the president," the FBI said. "He stated that he was told on a couple of occasions to send the money back because the president was not allowed to accept money from a foreign country."

According to the FBI's witness summary of his statements, Roger Clinton did not say what happened to cash intended for the president beyond the "couple of occasions" where he was warned it could not be accepted.

He has sometimes kept," the FBI said.
