The December issue of Esquire Magazine features an article entitled "The third term" by Joe Conason. The article is a fawning editorial lap dance for former U.S. President Bill Clinton, which praises Clinton for his work on combating aIDS and other evils plaguing the Third World. The so-called "Clinton Global Initiative" (CGI) seeks to combat aIDS in africa by putting the squeeze on wealthy Western philanthropists to provide money for improved sanitation and treatment facilities to combat the disease.
The magazine calls Clinton "the most influential man in the world" and details his tireless globetrotting schedule. Lest there be some criticism of Clinton’s motives, the author forestalls it by countering what Clinton critics might understandably say, that this is yet another occasion in which Clinton affords himself an opportunity to grab center stage for himself.
"If all Bill Clinton desires in his post-presidency is publicity, status, or the chance to hang hand out with power brokers or other actors, then he need not have gone through the effort and expense… all of those perks are more easily available to him, regardless of whether he spends months planning and executing the heavy responsibilities he has taken on, which will keep him running, flying, meeting, plotting--and strenuously raising money--for the next decade."
I suppose that’s one way to look at it. another might be to invoke the age-old adage that one can’t change a leopard’s spots, meaning that Bubba is sure to have an ulterior motive.
What could that motive possibly be, you ask? Well, Esquire touches upon it on its cover when it calls Clinton the most influential man in the world. Simply put, Clinton wants to become President of the World by assuming the role of Secretary General of the United Nations when Kofi annan finally fades away. Just look at the possibilities and tell me that the following hasn’t crossed St. Bubba’s mind: He is Secretary General of the UN, while Hillary gets elected President of the United States and then their real work begins.
The Clintons’ ambitions are boundless. Consider their starting point, Podunk, arkansas and then imagine where they have made it to today. He a former President and she a Senator of a state that she’s never lived in! Then consider how they arrived at where they are today.
Much has been written about Bill Clinton’s genuine desire to have people like and admire him. I’m sure that his incessant philandering is no small part of that desire, wanting to intimately touch every woman with whom he comes into contact. While this is a benign view of what is essentially a serious character flaw, when one digs into Bill and Hill’s past a much darker, more disturbing picture emerges.
Tookie Williams, the founder of the Crips, a notorious Los angeles street gang, who has been on California’s death row since the late 1970s, has had fewer friends and acquaintances die under violent and mysterious circumstances than the Clintons have; yet no one in what was once the mainstream media seems to find this curious. In fact, if one performs a Nexis search of the media, very little can be found covering the strange, unexplained and mostly violent deaths of the Clintons’ friends and associates.
a cursory search of the Internet turns up at least 45 names of individuals who were friends and/or acquaintances of the Clintons, all of whom died under questionable circumstances. The one thing that they have in common, aside from being dead, is that each and every one had some sort of knowledge that could have proven damaging to the Clintons.
James McDougal, who was Bubba’s convicted partner in the Whitewater affair, died of an apparent heart attack while in solitary confinement. When the heart attack began McDougal requested that his heart medication be brought to him in solitary, a request that was supposedly refused by prison officials. McDougal was slated to be a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation of the Clintons.
Mary Mahoney was a former White House intern shot to death at a Starbucks coffee shop in Washington DC, just after she revealed she planned to go public about being sexually harassed at the White House.
Of course, Vince Foster, whose body was discovered with a gaping bullet hole in his head in a Washington DC park, was one of Hillary’s partners at the Rose law firm in Little Rock, arkansas. Conveniently, Foster "committed suicide" as the investigation into Hillary’s billing practices heated up.
Ed Willey, a Clinton fundraiser was found shot to death in a Virginia forest. again, the death was ruled as a suicide. You might remember the name, as in Kathleen Willey, who accused Clinton of groping her in the Oval Office on the day her husband was found dead.
Then there’s Ron Brown, Secretary of Commerce and former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He died in a plane crash in Bosnia along with 30 other people. The coroner who examined Ron Brown found what he believed to be a bullet wound in the top of Brown’s skull. at the time of Brown’s death he was being investigated for campaign fundraising irregularities. Brown vowed to cooperate with prosecutors to avoid a lengthy jail sentence. His son was later convicted of money laundering as a result of the same investigation. (a total of four Clinton fundraisers died mysteriously, three in plane crashes and one "suicide".)
Jerry Parks was head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team when he died. Parks had reportedly compiled a dossier on the Clintons’ wrongdoings, when he was shot to death. Parks’ files mysteriously disappeared from his home after his death.
Kathy Ferguson and Bill Shelton were lovers. Shelton, an arkansas State Trooper, and Ferguson, the former wife of another arkansas State Trooper, were both found shot to death. Ferguson’s ex-husband, Danny was a co-defendant along with Clinton in the Paula Jones case, for which Kathy was a possible corroborating witness. Shelton, who was critical of the suicide ruling in Kathy Ferguson’s death, was found at her graveside with a bullet through his head.
Suzanne Coleman, who was seven months pregnant at the time of her death, died of a gunshot wound to the back of her head, which was ruled a suicide. Coleman was allegedly going public about an affair with Clinton and indicated that the child she was carrying was Clinton’s.
This is a random sampling of the deaths that occurred to friends and acquaintances of the Clintons. Worth mentioning in addition is that there are 12 former Clinton bodyguards who are also all dead. Some coincidence.
One telling passage in the Esquire article was that "african leaders tend to treat [Clinton] as if he were still the world’s most powerful head of state. He is, after all, perhaps the most famous person in the world, an emissary from a rich country that they love and sometimes hate, and in africa they seem to regard Clinton as still being the leader of the part of america that is more agreeable to them." (Emphasis added)
It would make sense that "african leaders" would admire Clinton. He is, after all, what could be considered a kindred spirit, given the circumstances surrounding his terms in public office and the fate of those who could potentially damage him.
