Take the most recent government agency to be thoroughly castigated — the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Throughout the Clinton years, realistic budget requests increases for INS were denied. Simultaneously, INS admitted hundreds of thousands of aliens to the United States (Chinese, Albanian, Bosnian, Moroccan, Algerian, plus the earlier waves from Central America and Africa) — most with few skills and even fewer employment prospects — all at the invitation of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
With INS currently under attack, does it surprise anyone to discover that, as a former president, Bill Clinton is allowed to recommend 1,000 foreigners per month for visas to enter the United States? It doesn't matter if it is a student, business or tourist visa, Bill's recommendation counts. And to keep everything cozy and to make sure "Bill's people" don't have to suffer the indignity of queues and questions, the Clintonista Brigade is present.
Remember: Most of the Clintonista second- and third-level workers in our overseas embassies and consulates have not, and may never be, replaced.
And why would the former First Perjurer bestow such kindness to foreigners? The same thing that motivates him to travel the world making bad speeches: Money, and lots of it.
TRACE THE LINES
But the game of connect-the-dots doesn't stop there. Trace the lines — Clinton to opportunity to money to none other than Enron, a major cash cow for the Clintons and a major source of foreign policy entanglements.
Former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who died in a mysterious plane crash before he could come to trial, was Bill's partner in promoting several of Enron's strange deals in Indonesia, South Korea, India, Bosnia and Russia. The end result? Enron got richer, contributions flowed to the Clintons, and America was weakened.
How was America weakened? Keep connecting the dots.
When Osama bin Laden bombed the World Trade Center for the first time in 1993, Clinton conferred with then CIA Director John Deutch, and it was agreed to beef up the agency's capabilities in collecting information on business, commercial and energy operations.
And while John Deutch may be a great professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a spymaster he is not.
One day in Seattle, Deutch told a radio audience how information collected by our National Security Agency had shown Saudi Arabians being bribed by the French Airbus consortium. The Saudis got wind and gave the multibillion sales deal to Boeing Aircraft while planning to behead various politicians.
Did the professor learn a lesson? Apparently not. When he left the CIA, it was discovered he had been taking home highly classified information on a regular basis. Deutch cooperated with the inquiry, had his security clearances lifted for all time and signed an agreement to plead guilty and pay a fine rather than face a trial and imprisonment.
But then on Jan. 20, 2001 — you know where to connect the dots — Bill Clinton signed a pardon for Deutch, even though the professor refused to hand over the intelligence material he had taken home.
MORE DOTS, MORE LINES
And Clinton's motivation for getting involved in this one? Draw the line to China. You see, Deutch and some of his close associates, in particular Dr. Richard Barth, formerly a staff member and then a consultant at the National Security Council, and George Tenet, currently CIA director to President George Bush but then also on the NSC, were Communist China's very good friends.
Together, they took part in the Clinton charade of selling our missile secrets to the People's Republic of China. There was a lot of clandestine skullduggery, followed by an attempt by Dr. Barth to secure a presidential waiver to make some of these exports legal.
Soon thereafter, Barth left the NSC for greener pastures despite receiving a pathetic letter from Tenet, the man who now heads our intelligence gathering. Tenet's letter to Barth reads, in part, "Do you want my job? My wife? My 1974 Camaro? This place (the NSC) will suck eggs without you to keep me sane!"
But all's well that ends well, or so they say. Ron Brown went to his great reward unindicted by human courts. Clinton was not impeached, and now people actually pay lots of money to hear him give the same horrible speech over and over. Deutch got a pardon; Barth got a wonderful new job. And Tenet hasn't been certified as insane — well, yet.
As for the picture formed by connecting the dots, perhaps we should continue tracing all the way to the decision-makers of the media and ask why they think no one remains interested in the lies, corruption or psychotic personal life of Bill Clinton. Or why they maintain, "He has suffered enough. He survived the charges of impeachment and was found not guilty by the Senate."
Oh, Shakespeare was right after all — the evil that men do does live after them. Just look at the continuing power of a corrupt president. The only hope lies in the fact that there were 45 honorable men who voted for impeachment.
