LAWLESSNESS
NewsMax.com 5/10/99 "..."Perhaps the most prophetic of all the memorabilia Bill gave me were bar exam notes made in the margin of the 'Nacrelli Bar Review School' book," writes onetime bodyguard and Clinton confidant L.D. Brown in his blockbuster expose, "Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation"..... "I know Bill used the book," explains Brown, "and there are many entires in longhand made throughout the approximately 300 pages of text. The most telling entries are found in the sections on criminal law and taxation. In the definition of treason, the passages concerning treason requiring an overt act as well as involving two witnesses are underlined." ..."
American Spectator (Web Site) 6/25/99 John Corry "...Betrayal: How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security by Bill Gertz Regnery / 299 pages / $27.95 Distorting Defense: Network News and National Security by Stephen P. Aubin Praeger / 262 pages / $59.95 Reviewed by John Corry ....President Clinton's most important legacy will not be his serio-comic sex scandals, but his dead serious disarmament of the United States and his self-serving appeasement of powerful and determined enemies....The administration's policies have endangered not only the United States, but the peace and security of the entire world. And this grim prospect has come about, according to Gertz, primarily for two reasons. The administration, suspicious of the military to begin with, placed economic gains ahead of security needs. Meanwhile it put its faith in treaties, promises, and the supposed good intentions of others. Their words, not their deeds, were what counted, and realistic assessments of their potential military threats were ignored so as not to endanger "constructive engagements" and "strategic partnerships." Rather than penalizing China or Russia, say, for violating international agreements, the administration would amend the agreements. Rather than telling the public about the continuing arms buildups by China and Russia, it would pretend the buildups did not exist. Policy was tailored not for the real world, but for a world of the administration's own choosing. The White House demonstrated an unwillingness, or inability, to deal with difficult issues. Worse, it practiced outright deceit.....Distorting Defense: Network News and National Security, by Stephen P. Aubin, is a kind of companion book to Betrayal. Aubin, who holds a doctorate in national security affairs, analyzes television coverage of defense issues and finds it uninformed. One reason for this, he writes in his intelligent book, is that too often the White House, and not the Pentagon, provides the focus for coverage. Aubin also notes the ease with which the networks tend to label both persons and things as "conservative," "right-wing," or "hard-line," and their reluctance to call anyone "liberal" or "left wing." Aubin, though scrupulously nonpartisan, dryly notes that the "conservatives" are usually depicted as "bad guys." ...."
CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC. 5/12/99 Dr. Paul Craig Roberts "....Adultery, sexual promiscuity and lying now bear the presidential seal of approval..... Clinton has established that perjury and obstruction of justice are not sufficient grounds for removing a president from office.....Clinton might be the first president to commit treason.... Clinton is using a totally politicized Justice Department to prevent an investigation and has bottled up Congress' own investigation by refusing to release the Cox report. Both Congress and the media have acquiesced to Clinton's refusal to be held accountable, further strengthening the precedent that the president is accountable only to polls. Clinton is the first to turn the White House into a campaign operation, not only selling the Lincoln bedroom, but also U.S. policy. Using an obscure law, Clinton made a national monument in Utah out of billions of dollars of non-polluting coal deposits. The direct benefactor was the Indonesian/Chinese Lippo Group -- another source of Clinton's illegal campaign contributions -- which owns the other major deposits of environmentally safe coal. Clinton has politicized the FBI. The bureau acquiesced in the Clinton administration's illegal demand for hundreds of files on Republicans. The FBI also helped Bill and Hillary Clinton cover up the purge and illegal prosecution of White House Travel Office personnel..... Clinton politicized the IRS and ordered audits of conservative think tanks and organizations. Clinton has politicized the NATO alliance, turning a defensive European alliance into an aggressor in behalf of a Muslim drug gang in Kosovo, a province of Serbia....The casualties are mainly civilians, making Clinton the first American president who is a war criminal under the charter of the International Criminal Court.... Clinton has established that the morality of the liberal elites is an issue-driven morality. For liberals, morality is determined by a person's position on homosexual rights, the radical feminist agenda, minority privileges and the Second Amendment, not by personal behavior. Clinton has established that the U.S. media has no integrity...... For example, infuriated Canadians have called for a criminal investigation by the Justice Department of the sale of infected blood from prison inmates in Arkansas while Clinton was governor of the state....The Canadian call has gone unheeded, both by the Justice Department and the U.S. media...Clinton is the first president to be held in contempt of court by a federal judge....."
D. James Kennedy 7/6/99 "…A thousand Christians were "manacled to doors, then beaten and tortured with electric shocks to their genitals," according to a recent report issued by prison Fellowship founder Charles W. Colson. "Babies were not spared. Mothers were forced to lay their infants on the floor and watch helplessly while police struck them with sticks." Who would perpetrate such an atrocity? The government of Egypt, according to Colson's report. It happened in late October, as the nation's mostly Islamic leadership executed a "crackdown" on the Christian community. Yet Egypt, one of the "largest recipients" of American foreign aid, still receives billions in non-humanitarian financial support from the U.S. government - $2.5 billion in American taxpayer money in one year alone. All of which happens in defiance of federal law, that requires the President and Congress to cut off non-humanitarian financial aid to countries where individuals are persecuted for their religious faith! …"
D. James Kennedy 7/6/99 "…Michael Horowitz, senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, warns Christians that they are close to becoming "the Jews of the 21st century. You have become the scapegoats of choice for the thug regimes around the world," says Horowitz, who is Jewish, "as my people were for much of European history. And the suffering is met with indifference." Most American Christians are largely unaware of the escalation of religious persecution around the world - not only because of the silence of our media, but, also because of the federal government's keen interest in keeping international trading partners happy. It is also unattractive for a politician to run the risk of tangling with a foreign government when he may have major political donors with ties to that country. Consequently, few in Washington have much incentive for making waves! …."
The Marshfield Mail 4/28/99 Gordon E. Nordquist "...Look closely, America. What happened in Littleton, Colorado and on other high school campuses around America, is a direct result of the political culture of death that has been expounded by liberals for the past century. This tragedy unfolding before our eyes, can be credited to the ideological wasteland of liberalism. And in order to define liberalism, you must go to its primary source:the Democratic Party. These liberal zealots who control thought in our government, in our schools, in our colleges, and in the major news media today, actually believed that a godless society and a godless public education system-would produce a social utopia for modern civilization. Littleton is resounding proof that it has created just the opposite. How repugnant and revolting to watch the grand wizard of Liberalism, President Bill Clinton, stammer and stutter, trying to explain this latest liberal tragedy in Colorado. How foolish for the man who personifies lawlessness himself, and who continues to shed violence across the globe, to be whining about the violence expressed by others. How sad, that the only thing this demonic and shallow individual could offer Littleton, was a platoon of Washington "Witch Doctors" (Shrinks)to aid in the healing. As if more of his liberal, gibberish drivel would get to the heart of the problem....."
WorldNet Daily Llewellyn Rockwell "...Diversity is the catchword of our times. To favor it is to be on the side of the angels. But take notice: the diversity mavens have no use for pluralism in political jurisdiction. What they want is an almighty unitary state to enforce their view of diversity, one that prevents localized experimentation. That's one explanation for the liberal outcry against the Supreme Court's recent decisions on the relationship between the federal government and the states. The court is "rewriting the very structure of our government," claims Anthony Lewis in the New York Times, wrongly assuming that most people would be alarmed by this. In fact, the court is merely permitting the states to recover some of their lost jurisdictional rights relative to the central government, with the result of greater legal and political diversity. The step was very small: the court affirmed that state governments cannot be sued on the basis of federal law in their own courts. If it were otherwise, Justice Anthony Kennedy pointed out, the Constitution would have never been ratified, since this kind of legal attack on states obliterates their autonomy. This is a point consistent with federalism, which is not merely an ideological bent or a legal theory, as media commentators would have it, but the very substance of the American system. This is clear from the text that forms the basis of the majority's opinion, the 11th amendment, which says, "the judicial power of the United States [singular] shall not be ... prosecuted against one of the United States [plural]. ..." ..."
Chattanooga Free Press 7/2/99 "...You saw a major sample of it in the O.J. Simpson murder case. It is against the law to murder. There were the blood, the DNA, the whole web of evidence that unfolded after O.J.'s slow flight by white Bronco. "Everyone" knew who did it. The trial played out almost interminably. But from the first, it seems there was no chance of getting a conviction. The jury in the criminal case just decided to ignore the law and the evidence and not convict. A different jury in the later civil case had a different view and nailed O.J., making him pay millions for inflicting "wrongful death" on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Judges are supposed to rule on issues of law and juries on issues of fact. But under our system a jury can simply make up its mind to "nullify" law and evidence and rule however it pleases. Unfortunately, there are signs that "jury nullification" is increasing, thus subverting the American system of justice. A hint of that came in the Webster Hubbell case this week. The evidence was clear that President Bill Clinton lied under oath and obstructed justice enough to get him impeached by the House of Representatives. But the Senate engaged in "jury nullification" by refusing to convict, even though such liberal Democratic luminaries as Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Daniel Patrick Moynihan flatly asserted -- outside the Senate -- that Mr. Clinton was guilty, but -- in the Senate -- voted against conviction...."
Washington Times Rep Bob Barr 8/24/98 ".The same Clinton administration that says it can't even count all of us in a census without using bogus "sampling" techniques now has forwarded a plan not only to count us, but identify and track us like lab rats from cradle to grave. Buried 262 sections into the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is a section benignly entitled "Administrative Simplification." Unbeknownst to most members of Congress who supported this well-intentioned bill, this section is not about administrative simplification at all. It is about giving the public-health bureaucracy a sweeping mandate to create a personal code to track the most intimate and private details of every American's health history.."
Conserrvative News Service 8/26/98 Bruce Sullivan "House Republicans won a battle Monday over the Clinton Administration after a federal court ruled that the use of statistical sampling is illegal by the U.S. Census Bureau in compiling a national head count for the 2000 census . However, Secretary of Commerce William Daley , whose agency oversees the U.S. census taken every ten years as stipulated in the Constitution, has vowed to continue " planning to conduct a statistical sampling " for the 2000 census pending the appeal ."
10/6/98 Jim Abrams AP "The influx of immigrants is significantly affecting which states will come out ahead in the redistribution of House seats, according to a study released Tuesday. The Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that favors lower immigration, said the concentration of new immigrants in just a few states resulted in six states losing House seats after the 1990 census. It predicted that seven more would lose seats after the 2000 census. That is a ``distortion of the political system in which seats are taken away from citizens and reallocated in effect to noncitizens,'' said Mark Krikorian, the center's executive director. The 435 House seats are redistributed every 10 years based on changes in the population. The Census Bureau counts all residents, including noncitizens and illegal aliens, in determining the population.."
Washington Times 3/30/99 Inside Politics Freeper newsman "…"The Census Bureau has announced a 'partnership' with the AFL-CIO to help it count people next year. Although details are not clear -- will the union simply promote returning the mailed questionnaires or will labor union activists double as enumerators? --it raises a troubling specter," John J. Miller writes in National Review's Internet Update (www.nationalreview.com). "The AFL-CIO has announced plans to spend up to $46 million next year helping Democrats capture Congress. The Census Bureau's own controversial -- and probably illegal -- plan to sample the population is a political tool serving the same goal. Furthermore, there is no evidence that union members were undercounted in any previous census. Call us cynics, but why the partnership?"…"
NewsDay.com 4/15/99 Darlene Superville "...Legislation designed to improve the accuracy of the census by letting local officials challenge the count before it is finalized faces an uncertain future in the Senate after its passage by the House. Republicans say the bill will prevent a repeat of the error-plagued 1990 census, because local officials know their communities best and can find the mistakes. But Democrats argued Wednesday that the true intent was to block the Census Bureau from using a scientific method known as statistical sampling..."
