The Treason of Mena, Arkansas
December 1, 2006
Investigations can die as quickly as investigators these days. The Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko, a former spy, died last Friday, November 17th, in London, suffering from a poisoning with the absolutely deadly radioactive substance Polonium 210.
However, if lips are left to move for a few days, then the assassin can be identified. On his deathbed Mr. Litvinenko unequivocally identified the man who gave the order that he be killed. He named Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.
This story about a Russian dissident, the growing opposition to the increasingly obvious Soviet tactics of a throw-back, Soviet Chairman named Vladimir Putin who takes his very French “raison d’etat” as seriously as Robespierre did when he cut the head off of a Catholic King. At least all of France knew the leader well enough to cut his head off as well, and did so within a year.
In the case of the standing President of a nuclear power … well, the rest of the world didn’t really care much when Robespierre’s head hit the bottom of the basket - but an increasingly clenched fist in Moscow?
Treason and assassinations usually go hand in hand. But, as with Putin’s estimate of what amounts to an “enemy of the Russian State” and George H. W. Bush and William Clinton’s opinion of what amounts to treason against America, well, there’s a lot of running room.
That is the main reason why stories about Mena, Arkansas, are not surfacing.
One article for the Washington Post about that guns and drugs operation to fund the Contras in Central America was killed at the deadline, by a Managing Editor. How much “clout” he had with the ownership of the Washington Post remains unclear. However, since the story involved not one but two former Presidents and BOTH political parties, perhaps the editor’s soundly reasoned argument against publishing the article swayed the usually brave policy-makers of what I used to call the ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN newspaper.
William Clinton’s involvement with the Mena Conspiracy and the increasingly Napoleonic power of the Clinton Global Initiative’s virtual Pharaoh - one must remember the Egyptian heritage of America’s very own New World Order - makes censorship an absolute order of the day, even for the Progressive Washington Post.
ABC thought so when they received a few calls from Clinton’s lawyers about their film investigating the White House’s real efforts to combat terrorism. That rather major network, like that major newspaper, the WASHINGTON POST, went belly up.
However, this particular editor of the POST had additional connections, well, fraternal interrelatedness with George H. W. Bush. The Editor was a member of Yale University’s version of the Da Vinci Code Fraternities, SKULL AND BONES, the possibly Masonic Boy Scout troop that George H. W. Bush had also undergone a “hazing” at.
I mean, not one collegial President of the United States, but TWO!!
Putin kills investigators, and friends of George and Bill kill investigations.
There’s a big difference, of course, but all three are possible defendants in a trial for treason.
What would be my case, as a make-believe prosecuting attorney, Ben Stone, for Mena, Arkansas, and the guns and drugs operation set up there by the CIA, for that constitutional end-run being not only unconstitutional but treasonous?
I dare say that no Government and its duly appointed officers may undergo an adventure that blatantly defies the Civil obligations of three other branches or divisions of its own government, an adventure that makes the greatest mockery out of the American Federal Government’s vaunted WAR AGAINST DRUGS.
For the CIA to import and sell drugs domestically, right under the nose of the FBI, the Arkansas State Police, the Governor and the entire judicial system and using the money from drugs sold to American drug dealers to buy guns for the Latin American resistance to Communism, well, I think we have a problem, don’t you?
I am not a goodie two-shoes about CIA operations, as long as they are where they’re SUPPOSED to be: OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY!!! That’s why the Iran/Contra fundraiser, which erupted into a full-blown and fully covered national scandal, almost leading to Reagan’s impeachment, didn’t seem either surprising or inadvisable. In that instance, the CIA was NOT compromising its own government. America has always accepted its foreign intelligence services right to defend her national interests abroad without its reach being limited by the budget which Congress and the President have allotted it.
“Why is it that so much power is increasingly in fewer and fewer hands?” asked Ralph Nader, referring to the Press, its “cover-ups” and the “favors” received and given by journalistic members of a “Club” which I can only describe as the New World Order’s College of Cardinals.
Since this Fourth Estate of American Democracy (in addition to the other three of judicial, executive and legislative), the Press and Free Speech, is not willing to stand up to growing tyranny, I consider the entire Progressive Operation treasonous.
It would take much more detail, most likely a legal brief running to about a thousand pages, to nail the culprits down, and I don’t think the word “culprit” is overstating the case when it comes to the likes of William J. Clinton and George H. W. Bush.
Is there a “statute of limitations” on prosecuting former government officials, Presidents particularly, for high crimes and misdemeanors, which they have committed while in office?
Needless to say that such “limits,” rising out of Presidential self-pardons, display a major conflict of interest.
