|
The Clinton Crash
|
|
|
|
by J. Orlin Grabbe
|
|
|
|
In its immodest way, the Clinton administration
|
|
has long rushed forth to claim credit for every little
|
|
government economic statistic that looks positive. Not
|
|
that it can be said to otherwise take statistics very
|
|
seriously, given its blatant fibs like the one that
|
|
"Republicans cut Medicare benefits". (Republicans only
|
|
cut the size of projected increases. Clinton explained that
|
|
one by telling Wolf Blitzer that it was all the fault of
|
|
journalists and their use of language, and that he
|
|
personally was "shocked" when he came to Washington
|
|
and discovered this. But Clinton wasn't shocked enough
|
|
to do anything about those Democratic television ads.)
|
|
|
|
But how would Clinton explain a stock market
|
|
crash? Having taken credit for everything else that
|
|
happens in the economy, how can he avoid responsibility
|
|
for this also? What spin will he pick to push the blame
|
|
on someone else? Will a crash be the result of
|
|
Republicans opposing his government plan to deal with
|
|
the heinous problem of school truancy? Will it be the
|
|
fault of some underling like Craig Livingstone, operating
|
|
out of control because no one knew he was there (even
|
|
when they had their pictures taken with him)?
|
|
|
|
Perhaps Clinton will go on television to proclaim
|
|
that the crash is a "buying opportunity", just like those
|
|
pompous commentators interviewed almost daily on
|
|
CNBC. After all, when clueless household purchasers of
|
|
mutual funds declare they are "investing for the long run,"
|
|
it should not come as any surprise that a majority of
|
|
voters would rate Clinton as having untrustworthy
|
|
character yet plan to vote for him anyway. A public that
|
|
would rush to buy inflated stock market high-flyers
|
|
(including the thirty stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial
|
|
Average) should not be expected to spend their political
|
|
capital any more wisely. They are sure Clinton and their
|
|
broker understand their problems.
|
|
|
|
While the public keeps its head in the sand,
|
|
Democratic bigwigs view Clinton as a ticking time bomb.
|
|
Some of them even gave up their July 4 holiday, the
|
|
politician's favorite, to plan for the post-Clinton world.
|
|
They want Bill out of the way as soon as possible, so he
|
|
won't blow up in their faces in November. Meanwhile,
|
|
the Clintons themselves have descended into a murky
|
|
unreality of frenzied media events, hoping all their
|
|
problems will somehow disappear. In "Clinton's Cocaine
|
|
Habit" I reported on the President's consumption of 5
|
|
plus lines of cocaine a day. But Hillary has her drug
|
|
problems also: sagging facial features brought about by
|
|
the heavy use of tranquilizers ("don't worry, be happy").
|
|
|
|
The Democrats will hope to dump a stock market
|
|
crash and all other bad political news on the Clintons,
|
|
while distancing themselves from the pair. This should
|
|
become especially popular as it becomes public that the
|
|
White House "Hit List" (labeled just that way in the
|
|
White House Office Data Base, WHODB), includes not
|
|
only Republicans but also some prominent Democratic
|
|
politicians and journalists.
|
|
|
|
Democrats will have assistance in wishing Bill a
|
|
speedy exit. For the days of buried evidence are over. It is
|
|
said that someone download the entire White House
|
|
Office Data Base, as well as the Secret Service Data Base,
|
|
and copies of the files requested from the FBI data base,
|
|
and turned them all over to the Special Prosecutor,
|
|
Kenneth Starr. (And only a naif would believe James
|
|
Steward's interpretation in The New Yorker that Starr will
|
|
withhold his evidence and indictments till after the
|
|
election. Why ever would Starr want to leave the good
|
|
voters of America in ignorance?)
|
|
|
|
It's not all fun and games for the Republicans
|
|
either. Republican bigwigs are desperately trying to
|
|
figure out how they can get rid of a distinct liability--
|
|
namely, Bob Dole. Well, the Fifth Column got Dole to
|
|
resign from the Senate. Surely the bigwigs can handle the
|
|
little matter of denying Dole the nomination all by
|
|
themselves. Or would the Republicans prefer to commit
|
|
political suicide even while Clinton crumbles?
|
|
|
|
How will history explain the crash? Has the
|
|
market only foreshadowed the "leadership vacuum" to
|
|
emerge as Starr indicts Hillary and Clinton subsequently
|
|
resigns? One seriously doubts history will treat Clinton
|
|
as leader that kindly. He has too much baggage. As if
|
|
Whitewater-Travelgate-Fostergate-Filegate were not
|
|
enough, there is also the little issue of Clinton's
|
|
involvement in the Mena drugs and arms smuggling. This
|
|
isn't going away either, because the birds in Arkansas
|
|
have begun to sing.
|
|
|
|
Accuracy in Media (AIM), an outlet for Mossad
|
|
propaganda, has long dumped on the Vince Foster story
|
|
as related by Jim Norman and me for the simple reason
|
|
that Foster was spying for Israel. Likewise, to my
|
|
observation, the Mossad has done more than even the CIA
|
|
to bury the truth about Mena, because of the pronounced
|
|
Mossad involvement in arms and drug smuggling and
|
|
money laundering between Panama and Arkansas. Jim
|
|
Leach's House Banking Committee recently dropped its
|
|
probe into Mena on the advice of its new consultant, Jack
|
|
Blum, himself an investigator with Mossad connections as
|
|
well as a spreader of lies. (I know what he said about
|
|
me.)
|
|
|
|
As I noted in "Some Observations on the Non-
|
|
News", the Mena operation has been largely shifted to
|
|
Montana, and (as was true in Arkansas) the state governor
|
|
has a hand in the business. In recent days Montana
|
|
Republican Governor Marc Racicot has been out
|
|
demanding that anyone who has implied he was in any
|
|
way involved in drug dealing retract their statements.
|
|
Well, Mr Racicot, if I were governor I would shut my
|
|
own mouth, since you will undoubtedly find it a less
|
|
unpleasant experience when the ton of shit I smell coming
|
|
lands on your head. In an interview in the current issue of
|
|
Media Bypass, Charles S. Hayes (the "Angel of Death")
|
|
notes that "No one in the press reported about the huge
|
|
influx of narcotics into that state [Montana]. It would not
|
|
surprise me nor anyone in the federal government if in the
|
|
near future the governor of Montana is indicted for
|
|
complicity in this activity."
|
|
|
|
Nor would it surprise anyone to see FBI agents
|
|
indicted in Montana and New Orleans for involvement in
|
|
drug trafficking. Louis Freeh, who explained the errant
|
|
use of his files as abuse of the FBI by the White House
|
|
will perhaps now explain the errant use of his agents as
|
|
abuse of the FBI by the Cali cartel.
|
|
|
|
Will history say the stock market crash and
|
|
ensuing banking crisis derived from strains created by
|
|
massive shifts in the flows of funds connected with the
|
|
international arms and drug trade? This flow of funds is
|
|
the common thread that ties corrupt politicians to corrupt
|
|
current and ex-government officials. Certainly there are
|
|
enough politicians and banks in trouble.
|
|
|
|
The banks in one country noted as a haven for
|
|
flight capital found an innovative way to stem the $20
|
|
billion hemorrhage of their deposits. (Did these banks
|
|
have a small security problem? Some of them cut their
|
|
24-hour modem access down to 15 minutes. Naturally
|
|
their corporate customers were not pleased.) But these
|
|
banks managed to find a strong lender of last resort and to
|
|
trade sovereignty for solvency. But such solutions are not
|
|
available to everyone.
|
|
|
|
Take Credit Lyonnaise. CL is said to be looking
|
|
for a loan of $2 to $3 billion--it needs a capital infusion
|
|
desperately. No takers. The Bank of England ships
|
|
hundreds of millions of dollars in gold bullion to an irate
|
|
Korea in the continuing arms-money-laundering saga
|
|
there. No embarrassing questions, please. Investigators
|
|
at Citibank wonder how Raul Salinas of Mexico was able
|
|
to launder so much money through that institution.
|
|
Citibank says it has no idea: these things just happen.
|
|
Money laundering at Chase lead to a forced merger with
|
|
Chemical. Will the First National Bank of Anchorage and
|
|
Norwest Bank of Montana be next? Sumitomo, missing a
|
|
couple billion dollars, has to maintain the pretense it
|
|
doesn't launder heroin money. But every international
|
|
banker worth his salt knows otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Some think the stock market is going to 10,000.
|
|
Some think Bill Clinton will be the Democratic nominee
|
|
this November. Some think Vince Foster wasn't a spy for
|
|
Israel. Some think official government agencies don't
|
|
deal drugs. Some think the FBI is a chartered
|
|
organization. Some think the Basle Committee has solved
|
|
all international banking crises.
|
|
|
|
Some had better get ready for a rude awakening.
