This is from Neal Boortz' web page in the section "Neal Nuze." This can be accessed at boortz.com CLINTON WELCOMES AN INVESTIGATION? SURE HE DOES. I am still waiting for the outrage to settle in over Clinton's dealings with the Chinese military. New facts have emerged ... is anyone interested? Let's try to make this simple. Commercial satellites ... like those Clinton has been allowing China to launch for his big campaign contributors ... used to be on the "munitions" list and were subject to the control of the State Department. Clinton's campaign donors, Loral Space and Communications and Hughes Electronics among them, wanted these communications satellites (complete with their military secrets) taken off the munitions list and control over export of these satellites shifted to the Commerce Department. Most of Clinton's military and intelligence advisors warned against the change. This includes the Secretary of State, the Defense Department and America's intelligence agencies. In a classified order Secretary of State Warren Christopher warned that embedded in commercial satellites were tech secrets that could jeopardize "significant military and intelligence interests." In spite of the objections, Clinton transferred control of satellite exports to Ron Brown's Commerce Department. The Pentagon has said that the national security interests of the U.S. have been harmed by this move. Perhaps so ... but the financial interests of several Clinton and Democrat campaign donors have been improved. Now Clinton says he welcomes an investigation into this matter. Sure he does. He welcomed an investigation in the FBI files, Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater too. Then, as soon as the "welcome" investigation begins the White House stonewalling starts. Clinton -- ever the master of saying one thing, and doing the other.

Zoltan! Dynamite stuff. Would that every American stood up for their rights so vigorously and was willing to be more like the original freedom-fighters that created this country and fight for their freedoms. America is not our government -- it is each of us as individuals. Hillary's "village" be damned! Father Terrence

Well, just dropped by to read a few posts, read Mr. Farrah's claim that "not one person on the list were ever audited or harassed" during the Nixon administration. I couldn't let that pass without comment. This claim is just plain wrong. Even outrageously wrong. Under Nixon, "enemies of the people" did get audited. They did get harrassed. They did get removed from jobs, not just government jobs, but even jobs in the so-called "private" sector. They were followed by the FBI, who even would contact anyone who dared employ these people to ask them for information about them; people were not infrequently fired, or at least viewed suspiciously after these visits. The Viet Nam war was happening then (in case anyone has forgotten), and many people were targetted. I know it's probably a futile exercise to say this on this thread, especially because even though I personally know some of the people and one of the companies that this happened to, I can't print their names without violating some confidences. Some of them are still frightened of the power of government to cow and abuse individuals. So you don't have to believe me, but nevertheless, what I am saying is true.
