Wesly Clark - drugwar fascist?

Wesley Clark
Wesley Clark has been pounced upon with adoration by progressives and Democrats as though he were a God of reason and salvation. This late-comer entered the race in September at the top of the polls. In fact, he is a reincarnation of the most corrupt and violent aspects of William Jefferson Clinton. I have great respect for author and filmmaker Michael Moore, but when I saw him endorse Wesley Clark, I nearly choked. Let's refresh everyone's memory by looking at the retired NATO Commander's history. It shows us is that he has the perfect rsum to continue the job that the Bush gang began, and then botched.
Clark first hit my radar screen way back in 1993, after it was learned that US Army troops had been dispatched to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco Texas. At the time, Clark was the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division at Ft. Hood Texas. As the division commander, Clark was the one to authorize the release of armored units and - as later disclosed by filmmaker Michael McNulty - very likely also in command of Delta Force personnel who operated on his turf, and engaged in a brutal massacre of unarmed civilians trying to flee the burning compound. According to a well-documented September 2003 story at www.frontpagemagazine.com Clark's second in command, Pete Schoomaker, was one of two military officers to meet with Janet Reno in preparing the plans for the final assault. That made him Clark's representative.
This is not a good progressive credential.
Clark's real notoriety came in 1999 when, as NATO Commander under Bill Clinton, he led another US military invasion, which the UN also refused to sanction, into Bosnia and Kosovo. Clark's aggressive command nearly resulted in a military confrontation with a Russian armored column. As it turns out, the reasons for that invasion were as fabricated as were the reasons for Bush's invasion of Iraq. For weeks, the American people were bombarded by warnings about mass graves containing tens of thousands of bodies. In the April 1999 issue of FTW, I wrote about Kosovo and our allies, the Kosovo Liberation Army, or KLA:
Has everyone forgotten that the U.S. government referred to the KLA, just a year ago, as terrorists? Has everyone forgotten, in the current "wag the dog" propaganda assault, that the Serbs, going back to World War II have been U.S. allies - that they are Christians and that they are not receiving military training from countries which sponsor Islamic terror? We hear reports of mass graves. We hear reports of rape and atrocities. Have we yet seen any of the victims?
Kosovo is vastly different from the Contra war or from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why? Because U.S. air power is overwhelmingly committed at the outset. Because the "Mighty Wurlitzer" of American media is feeding on the hapless plight of helpless victims on a scale akin to Wm. Randolph Hearst's coverage of the sinking of the Maine in Havana Harbor
The only difference now is that the quick and cheap capital and funding mechanism of the drug trade has replaced the much more time consuming process of investment and extraction of war costs from a producing economy. The fact is that the entire world economy and political decision making machinery is now hooked on drugs. To me, that is a sure sign that the economic models operating at the end of the 20th century are about as adaptable as the dinosaurs were when the asteroid hit.
There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and there were no mass graves holding tens of thousands of bodies ever found in Kosovo. Yet, as we documented in 1999 using reports from Jane's Intelligence Weekly and The Christian Science Monitor, in the process of conducting that war Clark made safe the KLA's control over 70% of the heroin reaching Western Europe.
www.fromthewilderness.com.../KLA1.html
Another parallel to the post-9/11 world is that, under US rule, Afghanistan has again become the number-one producer of opium in the world, estimated at 75% of world supply, all under CIA control. Afghanistan is the source of the heroin that is being smuggled through the Balkans into Western Europe (and all over the world) to this day. And, Osama bin Laden had Al Qaeda personnel training the KLA with US permission.
As Professor Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa reported in June 2002 in his publication Global Outlook:
The U.S. Congress has documented in detail, the links of Al Qaeda to agencies of the U.S. government during the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as in Kosovo.3 More recently in Macedonia, barely a few months before September 11, U.S. military advisers were mingling with Mujahideen mercenaries financed by Al Qaeda. Both groups were fighting under the auspices of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), within the same terrorist paramilitary formation.4
It is absurd to think that the Al Qaeda operatives in Kosovo were there without Clark's knowledge or that he did not control their interactions with US military.
In June of 2000, I was stunned to see an announcement in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that a retiring Wesley Clark was going to go to work for billionaire investment banker and Presidential kingmaker Jackson Stephens in Little Rock. This set off alarm bells that Clark was someone to watch. In his current campaign literature, Clark lists his profession as an investment banker. And he is still employed by Stephens.
Stephens was the man who gave a down-and-out Bill Clinton a $2 million loan to jumpstart an ailing presidential campaign in 1992. There is also a glowing photograph of Stephens with a young George W. Bush in the brilliant expose of the drug money laundering and covert operations bank BCCI, False Profits. Several BCCI players, including Saudi banker Khalid bin Mahfouz, have been directly tied to the financing of Al Qaeda.
A search of the FTW web site shows that I have written about Stephens - Jimmy Carter's roommate at Annapolis -- six times. Stephens' firm Systematics, which has since gone through two name changes to become Axciom, was deeply connected to the PROMIS software scandal, the Worthen Bank, the Lippo Group, and subsequently through a 2001 FTW investigation to drug money laundering out of the Mena Regional Intermountain Airport in Arkansas. In that investigation, looking into the apparent release from US prison of Medellin Cartel co-founder Carlos Lehder, we found that one of Stephens' subsidiaries, Beverly Enterprises, had been connected to a suspected money laundering operation involving bearer bonds sold by Bill Clinton's Arkansas Development Financial Authority, sold by Stephens Inc, and underwritten by the insurance giant AIG and Goldman Sachs.

On Oct. 7, Wesley Clark's campaign manager, Donny Fowler, resigned suddenly -- according to a CNN story the following day -- because his authority had been usurped by two insiders from Clinton's 1992 campaign. That Bill Clinton would turn up all over the Clark campaign is no surprise. The day before announcing his candidacy, Clark received an endorsement from Harlem Congressman Charlie Rangel. Rangel, a black Democrat, is closely tied to the Clinton machine. Clinton maintains an office in Harlem. That being said, what has Wesley Clark ever done to endear himself to black voters? What was Rangel thinking?
Bill Clinton is a member of the Bilderberg Group, The Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. Clark is a member of the CFR.
Wesley Clark is also one of two presidential candidates to have "discovered" his Jewish ancestry in an election year. The September 26 issue of The Jewish Forward revealed that Clark was the son of a Jewish lawyer from New York named Kanne. After his father's death when Clark was four, Clark was taken to Arkansas by a Southern Baptist mother and raised as a Baptist. According to the story, Clark did not discover his Jewish ancestry until he was in his twenties. The Forward story is the first-known public disclosure of this ancestry.
And, last but not least, Wesley Clark has a business relationship with George Soros. According to Heather Cottin's excellent deconstruction of Soros (above) Clark sits on the board of Soros' International Crisis Group (ICG) with the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Richard Allen, former Reagan National Security Advisor.

Major Parole Moves on The Table By Gary Delsohn
Source: Sacramento Bee December 28, 2003
Convinced that California can no longer afford its $5.3 billion prison and parole system, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration is exploring moves that would all but eliminate parole conditions for nonviolent, nonserious offenders and eventually -- through early release and lighter penalties -- dramatically shrink the prison population. Some of the moves result from recent court settlements. Others are efforts whose planning began under former Gov. Gray Davis and have been speeded up by Schwarzenegger.
