DEEP INSIDE THE
CLINTONIAN REICH
TEAMSTERS , DNC AND
THE NEW BROWN SHIRTS
By: Bob Momenteller
On July 24, 1996, Teamster boss, Ronald M. Fino testified before the House Crime Subcommittee. No photographs were permitted and the witness arrived with a hood over his head. Fino, was the business manager for Local 210 in Buffalo, NY. During his tenure, Fino stated that he had witnessed the gripping control of the Union and it's membership by La Cosa Nostra. It was also during this period that Fino saw the corruption of it's workers' dues and benefit funds.
Fino, remarkably worked as an undercover informant for the FBI during this time. He had over 4,000 meetings with FBI agents, where he detailed the mob's secret government within the union and how it reached to the Laborers' Washington headquarters, two blocks from the White House. The Laborers president, mobster, Arthur A. Coia, is good friends of the Clinton White House. Coia gave Bill Clinton, a $100,000 loan for his inaugural. In the four years that followed, the union would give the DNC over $4.8 million dollars. Harold Ickes, Clinton's first term deputy Chief of staff, was a mob lawyer who also represented Coia and his Laborers'.
Coia was a frequent guest at the White House. More than 120 times in a three year period. Coia was in bed with Clinton so much, he was invited to a state dinner for the Japanese Emperor. We also find Bill and Coia flying on Air Force One to Haiti and Rhode Island. The House Crime Subcommittee has documented cash contributions, personal letters, and social-political invitations.
In October, 1994, a meeting between Clinton and Ickes would prove to be the most important of all for Coia. Clinton wanted to nominate Coia to a presidential commission. The FBI warned however, that Coia is a criminal associate of the New England Mafia and that the Justice Department was going to file suit against Coia for being a puppet to the La Cosa Nostra. Nonetheless, in the Oval Office President Clinton presented Coia with a Callaway "Divine Nine" golf club and listened to Coia's complaints about the "low-level negative response" his union was getting to applications for federal job-training grants. Clinton assigned Harold Ickes to look into these concerns of Coia. The day after this meeting took place, Coia wrote a check for $50,000 to the DNC.
Two weeks after his 1994 Oval Office meeting with Clinton and
Ickes, Justice Department racket-busters delivered to the union a racketeering complaint, relying heavily on Fino's testimony. Shortly after the complaint was delivered, the union was allowed to undertake its own house cleaning under the eye of the Justice Department. Coia's hand picked man, Lukin, for this job sat on it for over a year before he prosecuted Fino's Local 210, one of the country's best known mob owned local. An additional two and a half years went by before a trusteeship was assigned to the corrupt Chicago District Council. The officers in this district were all mobsters and thugs who oversaw 21 locals and controlled over $1.5 billion dollars in funds. The trusteeship was secured just two days before the three year oversight committee agreement expired. Then an agreement for an additional year was granted. Amazingly, Coia survived nearly four more years by playing the role of a reformer while moving against his rivals, all with the help of White House operatives and ignoring the mob overlords in his Northeast home base. Indeed, federal informants report that the Genovese family is now in complete control of the union.
When the oversight agreement was about to expire, the Justice Department threatened to take over the union. Luskin then made his move to oust Coia. The charges: Coia "knowingly associated" with Mafia members and permitted them to influence the union, breaching his constitutional and fiduciary duties. Coia also "improperly accepted benefits" from a union service provider. The Justice Department to this day is supposedly trying to clean up the Laborers Union. In the meantime, informant, Ron Fino, has lost his union job, his family, and the Mafia has a contract out on him. He remains in hiding under the witness protection program.
THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT
As more and more citizens wake up from their coma on who the real Bill Clinton is, the division lines between the purveyors of propaganda and those of the truth become more pronounced. What happened on October 2, 1998 in Philly, could be a message of things to come. What started out
as a peaceful sign carrying protest against Bill Clinton, turned out to be violent. Several peaceful protesters stumbled into a crowd of teamster thugs. They tore a sign out of the protester's hand and then pummeled him to the ground. Other teamster thugs kicked and punched him as his sister, also there to protest, tried to shield him. He was whisked away by the police after he got up from the attack.
Head teamster thug, John Morris later told the media that the attack was provoked by anti-Clinton forces. He when on to state that the teamsters will do "whatever it takes to defend the president."
So it was, On October 2, 1998, the new "BROWN SHIRTS" were born.
