MONICA-GATE
|
|
===========
|
|
By Professor Peter Dale Scott
|

|
|
[CN: I received the following from Kenn Thomas, author of
|
|
several books and publisher of Steamshovel Press magazine. (A
|
|
link to Steamshovel is at the Conspiracy Nation website (see
|
|
below.)) Because Professor Scott ends by saying, "feel free to
|
|
forward this," I have taken the liberty of doing so. Professor
|
|
Scott is the author of several books, including the highly
|
|
recommended *Deep Politics*.]

Monicagate
|
|
|
|
by Peter Dale Scott
|
|
|
|
In *Deep Politics and the Death of JFK* I write that study of any
|
|
one of our deep political crises will tell you more about the
|
|
rest. Apparently this prediction holds true for Monicagate as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
I am not talking about the recurrence of Washington lawyers like
|
|
Robert Bennett and Charles Ruff, who moved into the Washington
|
|
mainstream with Watergate, and now represent Clinton. Nothing
|
|
surprising or instructive about that. (I haven't checked to see
|
|
if the two Robert Bennetts are in fact one and the same, but
|
|
think it likely.)
|
|
|
|
But did you notice that the person who forwarded Linda Tripp's
|
|
tapes of Lewinsky to the FBI was a book agent and
|
|
pseudo-journalist called Lucianne Goldberg, who in 1972 "told the
|
|
McGovern campaign that she worked for the North American
|
|
Newspaper Alliance"? [NANA] Goldberg's role was not simply that
|
|
of a cut-out or messenger for Linda Tripp. On Jan. 22 she told
|
|
the press "that she encouraged her friend Linda Tripp... to tape
|
|
conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky." (All quotations are
|
|
from an article in the January 23 *San Francisco Chronicle,* p.
|
|
A11.) She kept the tapes for Tripp and later turned them over to
|
|
the FBI. If Tripp instigated Lewinsky, it would appear that
|
|
Goldberg instigated Tripp.
|
|
|
|
Both Tripp and Goldberg are apparently Republicans. Tripp was
|
|
one of only two holdovers from the Bush White House. Goldberg
|
|
was exposed in 1973 as "a spy for Nixon while she traveled with
|
|
the press corps" covering McGovern's 1972 campaign. It was at
|
|
this time that she said she worked for NANA (North American
|
|
Newspaper Alliance), and supplied an address for NANA which "is
|
|
the same as her current residence" in Manhattan. Watergate
|
|
investigators "said the Nixon campaign paid her $1,000 a week."
|
|
|
|
Not mentioned in today's story is the relevant fact in 1972, as
|
|
today, Lucianne Goldberg was snooping for sex. She told the late
|
|
Anthony Lukas (*Nightmare*, p. 161) that the Nixon people "were
|
|
looking for really dirty stuff...who was sleeping with whom, what
|
|
the Secret Service men were doing with the stewardesses, who was
|
|
smoking pot on the plane -- that sort of thing."
|
|
|
|
Serious students of the JFK Assassination have long been
|
|
interested in NANA, which supplied Priscilla Johnson (better
|
|
known now as Priscilla McMillan) with the job (or, to some,
|
|
cover) by which she voyaged to Moscow and there interviewed Lee
|
|
Harvey Oswald on the urging of U.S. Consul Snyder. After the
|
|
assassination, Johnson developed a close relationship with Marina
|
|
Oswald, in connection with a book contract originally arranged by
|
|
C.D. Jackson of Life Magazine at the urging of Allen Dulles.
|
|
|
|
NANA was created by a senior veteran of OSS, Ernest Cuneo, and
|
|
continued to have intelligence connections. In 1963, before the
|
|
assassination, it had come under Congressional scrutiny for
|
|
publishing Chinese Nationalist propaganda, for which it had been
|
|
paid large sums without registering as a foreign agent. At this
|
|
same time its President, Ernest Cuneo, was a member of the
|
|
Citizens' Committee for a Free Cuba, a group calling in 1963 for
|
|
a more militant anti-Castro policy, and meeting with dissident
|
|
Cuban exiles.
|
|
|
|
I am not here suggesting anything about the guilt or innocence of
|
|
Clinton, only that at least one of the people making his life
|
|
difficult has a background suggestive of past intrigues. I hope
|
|
that someone reading this can check Lucianne Goldberg's current
|
|
address, and see if in fact (as she alleged) it was also the
|
|
address of NANA.
|
|
|
|
