Paul M. Rodriguez
Don't drink the water or, for that matter, breathe the air in Area 51 because who knows what may be in it. President Clinton doesn't want you to know. He has declared the top-secret Air Force base near Groom Lake, Nev., off limits to national, state or local environmental laws.
For several years, Clinton has sent a letter to Congress exempting Area 51 from all environmental restrictions. The secrecy of Area 51 has prompted scores of UFO enthusiasts to insist alien autopsies are being conducted there. But, say news alert! sources, the base is likely a center for black operations dealing with sophisticated jets.
Clinton's decision to exempt the base comes in reaction to Washington attorney Jonathan Turley, who sued the Air Force and the Environmental Protection Agency about pollution concerns that he claims led to the poisoning of five workers. The lawsuit was filed in 1996 after five former workers at the facility complained of being exposed to lethal toxins at the site, which is located about 95 miles north of Las Vegas.
One of the major concerns among families who believe their relatives were poisoned is that doctors were denied chemical reports, news alert! has learned, which would indicate how the workers may have been poisoned. Therefore a proper treatment schedule could not be developed.
Clinton prevented those records from being released, citing national-security concerns. Ironically, the first time Clinton ordered the base exempt from environmental restrictions, Oct. 3, 1995, was the same day he apologized for the United States engaging in human radiation experiments during the Cold War on Oct. 3, 1995. Even that news was buried in the media because Clinton made the announcement the day that O.J. Simpson was acquitted on double-murder charges.
The lawsuit against the Air Force was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Philip Pro. Turley then turned to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that lawyers for workers or widows are not entitled to learn what hazardous substances exist at Area 51 or how they are handled -- or, for that matter, if they are contagious. The Supreme Court denied the subsequent appeal.
