Was Clinton an Iran/Contra Coke Head punk...
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 02:28 PM by Skinner
(edit for spelling)
Funny,

I see people who post that the Carlyle group funded 9/11. The CIA remote controlled the planes into the buildings (which is crap). But I have never seen anybody post on this. I was bored last night and reading deep into some things at www.whatreallyhappened.com and found this guy. What do you think about this. This guy wrote about how he was flying the planes that carried the coke in "medical" coolers. (like the type you would put organs in) You have to read the whole thing (long) to get the picture, but here are some snips.

"I was instructed that in addition to our normal MEDEVAC missions, my duties included a covert group of missions. The control word for these missions was Pegasus. All Pegasus missions took priority over normal medical evacuation missions. Major Rodriguez also instructed me as to my "chain of command." Missions could be ordered by any of the following:

Oliver North - Assistant National Security Advisor to the White House
Amiram Nir - Former Israeli Intelligence Officer (Mossad) and Advisor to Vice President Bush
Felix Rodriguez - CIA "

snip
"The following documents were filed with base operations at Palmerola Air Base, Honduras between February and May of 1985. This was a full two years prior to the world ever hearing the names Oliver North or Iran/Contra. The documents were filed and stored through the years by the Honduran Military. Recent attempts to locate the documents proved successful. I have compiled the military documents in chronological order which follows a week-by-week sequence of events involving political, military, and intelligence officials from various countries.

1. WhatReallyHappened.com is Unreliable to Say the Least

For example, they seem to believe that Democrats somehow tried to "steal" the Florida 2000 election. I'll listen to evidence on any kind of government wrongdoing, but this isn't sufficient. Too much plain disinformation out there.

8. Don't know where you saw that
As far as I recall, they have been forceful in claiming that Bush and Co were the ones doing the stealing.

2. The clinton family was dragged into the morass of the arkansas
drug trade via the bush regime.. in essence, so that they could point fingers and say " the clintons were in it too." However, it's apparent that any clinton ties to the arkansas project were tenuous and extraneous at best.

This was a bush regime business. Not a clinton business.

3. wait a minute...
The "Arkansas Project" was the GOP project to find dirt on Clinton, not the drug running project under Bush I (as far as I remember).

When I'm feeling tin-foily, I think the only reason Clinton was allowed to run for president, and beat Bush, was because he had the goods on the Iran/Contra drug smuggling through Mena airport.

The story goes that Clinton worked for Bush, protecting the drug shipments from local law enforcement and the DEA. I heard that the Bush team told Clinton not to run against Bush, but wait for next time, and were threatened physically when they ran anyway.

4. That's kind of what I'm thinking..
I think he knew about it but didn't act so he could blackmail them later for whatever...

9. Right Wing Lies
This Clinton/Cocaine/Contra thing was made up by Clinton's enemies when he first ran for Pres. Joe Conason & Gene Lyons debunk this story in The Hunting of the President

14. It's been a while since I've read it.
There is a chapter on Mena, in which our intelligence agencies, the Shrubs and the the then Governor of Arkansas come off looking pretty bad.

The book is largely about the institutionalized corruption of our intelligence agencies... ah, the things they do to keep us safe.

you can read reviews of it on Amazon

Some of us here support that no matter what they may have done.
