U.S. Military Paying Iraqi Editors To Publish Propaganda

[Warham]

Who said I'm 'so proud' of this administration? I'm about as proud of this administration as I'm proud of the last corrupt one we had between 1992-2000.

Cut the 'Bush has ruined my country' crap. It's old. Bush will be out of office in three years. What are you going to bitch about then? The next Republican president?

And I feel sorry for the direct vicitms of these criminals you're so proud of

Too bad. Even I wasn't miserable back when Clinton was president. Sure, I might make a jab at him daily, but I didn't moan and groan when he was accepting illegal contributions from the Chinese, selling nuclear secrets to North Korea, or lying to a grand jury about his unethical behavior.

Nope, didn't make me miserable at all.

That's funny, I don't recall feeling this way '92-2000

But Rash sure had his soiled panties in a bunch:D

You liberals hold Clinton in such high regard, that doesn't surprise me.

Not in the countries we occupied, not when we were trying to sow the pretense of a free press...

"Well...There you go again."

Funny, but you seem to have no problems with the CHINESE creeping in and owning our economy. So, what is Fearless Leader doing about this? Oh ya.' The same thing he's doing about illegal immigration, and for the same reason --NOTHING!! Because his lobby of corporate donors (i.e. WAL-MART) don't want him too!!

The fact is that the Democrats were far more concerned about North Korea than BUSH and his Neo CON cronies ever were...

And you want to give me the speciofic low-down on the illegal contributions? Pretty shocking accusation, seeing as the only thing they ever really found on him was he got blown by a chubby intern...

Coffee! It was Democratic Congressmen that were sounding the alarm over North Korean WMDs while you guys were jerking-off over SADDAM HUSSEIN and his non-involvement in 9/11...

Who is withdrawing US forces from the Korean peninsula? C'mon, GOGGLE it!

Remember, there's no oil there? You know what that means? Not interested...

What did the Chinese get for their money?

By James Freeman

What did the Chinese get for their money? The thugs who run the world's last communist empire aren't stupid. They didn't send a river of cash flowing toward Clinton/Gore without any expectations. So what was the return on their investment?


We don't know yet. But China, currently the only country in the world with missiles targeted at the United States, apparently has acquired our most valuable nuclear technology. Rep. Christopher Cox, Chairman of the House Select Committee on China, says in an e-mail: "The compromise of our nuclear codes is exceptionally damaging, not only to U.S. national security but to the peace of the world for decades to come."

Coincidentally, we learn from last Sunday's New York Times that the Administration ignored numerous warnings about Chinese efforts to penetrate the nation's nuclear weapons labs. We now know that scientist Wen Ho Lee transferred our most sensitive nuclear information from a secure, classified computer system to an unclassified system that could be accessed via the Internet. And the system was penetrated, but for some reason, the Clinton Administration did not place a high priority on countering Chinese espionage at the labs.

As early as 1995, the CIA and the Department of Energy learned that China had stolen the design for America's W-88 warhead. In 1996, Clinton's National Security Adviser was warned about Chinese espionage at Los Alamos. In 1997, the Justice Department denied repeated FBI requests to search scientist Wen Ho Lee's computer. That same year, after Lee had already been suspected of spying for China, the Energy Department moved him to a new position -- where he had GREATER access to nuclear secrets. Late in 1997, the President was warned about security at the labs and Chinese spying. And the government finally got around to firing Wen Ho Lee in March of 1999? They waited until April to shut down the computer network?

Why the slow response? "Something like this would have been a red flag. These were not low-level warnings," says Dov Zakheim, President of defense contractor SPC International. "If these reports are true, the Chinese now have our most modern capabilities," he says.

Former top officials in the Clinton and Reagan Administrations, speaking on background, say they can't understand why the White House did not react aggressively to the threat of Chinese nuclear theft.

U.S. secrets have been stolen before. What's new about this case is that once the government learned of the problem, U.S. officials did not act quickly to minimize the damage. Perhaps they should not have fired Lee in 1995 or 1996 -- in spy cases investigators may not want to alert the suspect prematurely. But that's no excuse for continued lax security at the labs, or for placing Lee into position to obtain more secrets, or for Justice's refusal to search Lee's computer.

It's important to remember who these people are who run China's government. According to a 1997 report by the Department of Defense, their key objectives include "eventual recovery of claimed territories, and most important, preservation of the current communist political system."

The report notes that China has sold nuclear and missile technology to Iran and Pakistan, among others, and there's more reassuring news: "China's current inventory of chemical agents includes the full range of traditional agents, and China is conducting research into more advanced agents."

The report also reminds us that "China is the only country other than Russia whose land-based strategic missiles can strike the United States." That raises an interesting question. What are they going to do with the data they just stole from our labs?

According to Admiral Stansfield Turner, Director of Central Intelligence in the Carter Administration, "The Chinese have relatively few missiles…They can multiply the amount of damage they can do with those missiles, because they can add more warheads." What about selling the technology? Turner says it's difficult to judge whether the Chinese will export it. "We certainly don't want Iraq to get it."

Great. Now we have to count on Beijing's good sense and good will. When you see how this regime treats its own people, you might start to get nervous. According to Amnesty International, there are at least 230,000 people in China detained without trial in "re-education" camps. Thousands of political prisoners are rotting in Chinese jails. One of them, Liu Nianchun, was reportedly tortured with electric-shock batons after beginning a recent hunger strike.

Concerned about religious tolerance? In September of 1998, Xu Yongze, leader of a Christian church, was sentenced to ten years in prison for "disturbing public order." In January, Ibrahim Ismael, a 42-year old Muslim scholar, was executed for organizing anti-government protests and for "illegal religious activities." Forced abortions are common. A recent Amnesty report quotes the official communist newspaper of the Xinjiang region: ""Illegal religious activities were cleaned up…village by village, hamlet by hamlet." Sound familiar?

The Clinton Administration has allowed the world's most destructive technology to fall into the hands of a growing communist superpower -- the same regime that illegally funded Clinton campaigns. If history remembers Bill Clinton only as the author of the Lewinsky scandal, he should consider himself lucky.

Clinton's money from China, part two

I asked in a recent column what the Chinese government had received in return for its illegal contributions to the Clinton/Gore campaign. This question is still begging for an answer, almost three years after the discovery of the China connection. Remember, the people who run China's government are communists, so unlike an American lobbyist who appears to be buying influence, these guys can't claim that they gave to Clinton because they like to support the democratic process.

So as Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie goes on trial in Little Rock this week for allegedly ordering an employee to destroy evidence, it's worth reviewing a few facts. For those who don't recall, Trie is the Clinton friend and fundraiser responsible for $645,000 in illegal contributions to the '96 campaign, plus another $640,000 in questionable donations to the President's legal defense fund. He is the reason why communist arms smuggler Wang Jun had coffee with Bill Clinton at a White House fundraising event in 1996.

Trie has a busy docket this year. In September, he will travel to DC for a separate trial on obstruction of justice, conspiracy and witness tampering charges.

Another Clinton/Gore rainmaker, Johnny Chung, has already pleaded guilty to violations of campaign finance law. He has testified to receiving money from General Ji Shengde, head of Chinese military intelligence, to assist in the Clinton re-election effort. The cast of characters in this drama also includes the famous John Huang, DNC fundraiser, Clinton Commerce Department official and source of more illegal dollars from Asia.

The F-16 has great American "hot-section" technology. Now China has it, too.

To date, there is no direct evidence linking Chinese money to changes in American defense policy. But if there's a reasonable explanation for the following list of coincidences, it's about time we heard it from the President.

Early in the Clinton Administration, China received America's "hot-section" technology, the key to building state-of-the-art fighter planes. The U.S. used this technology during the Cold War to gain a critical edge in creating metals used in jet engines.

"During the '80s, Soviet engines had a mean time between failures of 200 hours," says Steve Bryen, a former DOD official who directed the Pentagon's Defense Technology Security Agency during the 1980s. "For U.S. engines, the figure was about 10,000 hours. This was a huge advantage. China's engines were even less reliable than the Russian ones."

Previous Administrations had considered this technology so sensitive that they had denied requests to share it even with some of our allies. But when China wanted it for a helicopter project, China got it.

With applications from China pending, the Clinton Administration approved the commercial sale of super-accurate measurements from the Global Positioning System (GPS), which uses satellites to identify precise locations on the ground. GPS was a key U.S. advantage in Desert Storm, according to former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger. Previously, commercial users could get only rough measurements from GPS - not good enough for precise targeting of a missile, for example.

Bryen: China has developed "the ultimate ethnic cleansing weapon."
In 1996, the Administration transferred the licensing authority for exporting satellite technology from the State Department, which had opposed giving new technology to China, to the Commerce Department, which immediately approved the transfer. Given the green light by the Commerce Department, Loral Corporation provided China with missile technology to improve its satellite launch and guidance systems. This same technology can be used to improve the performance of missiles aimed at the United States. Loral is headed by Bernard Schwartz, one of the largest Democratic donors in the '96 election cycle.

Almost four years after the CIA and the Energy Department first suspected that China had stolen nuclear technology from our national labs and almost three years after the White House was warned of the specific threat at Los Alamos represented by scientist Wen Ho Lee, the Administration finally searched Lee's computer and restricted access to the Los Alamos computer network - after the story had appeared on the front page of the New York Times.

Last week, as evidence mounted that the Chinese were developing new weapons based on stolen U.S. technology, American planes accidentally bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese journalists. Our President made numerous apologies, which were not shown on Chinese television for several days while the Chinese government encouraged the stoning of our embassy in Beijing.

We now learn from the Washington Times that while the President was making his series of apologies, the U.S. government was defending itself against a cyber-attack originating within the People's Republic. Hackers operating from official Chinese news sources attempted to knock out e-mail systems and create bogus web pages on sites operated by the White House, State Department and other Federal agencies.

And what are the new weapons China is developing with our technology? One is the neutron bomb, developed but never deployed by the U.S. military. A neutron bomb kills people but leaves buildings and infrastructure unharmed. This is the one that China has been most aggressive in building and testing. Now why would anyone want a bomb that could not destroy an adversary's weapons or power plants, but could wipe out all the people around a given target? "It's the ultimate ethnic cleansing weapon," says Bryen. "Suppose they wanted to use it on Tibet. This is a very sinister thing."

We also learn from the Times' Bill Gertz that even though our National Security Agency discovered in 1995 that China had sold nuclear technology to Pakistan, in direct violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Administration made no effort to impose sanctions, as the law requires.

As a flood of American military technology has found its way to Beijing, the Clinton/Gore team has steadfastly refused to eliminate export restrictions on the one technology that might actually help Chinese dissidents: encryption software. This technology could allow Chinese dissidents to send and receive e-mails that could not be deciphered by Big Brother in Beijing. The pro-democracy movement in China could gain a powerful weapon, just as the Solidarity movement in Poland benefited from smuggled fax machines and radios in the early 1980s.
So far, there's no evidence that Chinese dissidents contributed to the Clinton/Gore campaign.

So Dov Zakheim, a known Israeli spy in the BCE/PNAC government (just one of many) is qualified to tell us about alleged "espionage" in the Clinton government?

The hypocrisy of these bastards never ends.
