Here I'll tell you a story. I grew up in Arkansas. My dad worked for Bill in the State capital when I was a kid. I still have an Arkansan relative, my mom, working for Bill, in the Clinton library.

She has a friend, someone she's known for decades, that first met Bill in Fayetteville back in the war room days. He worked in law enforcement at the time I believe, and personally saw State Troopers drive girls to him....

Now.

My mom isn't lying, and the guy in question has never publicly said anything and never will. He has no bone to pick and I'd say that he at least believes that he saw that.

To most Democrats that is a conspiracy theory invented by - ironically - David Brock. But I don't know.

The same is true about Mena. There is precedent as the US government definitely has smuggled drugs into the US... But.. It's probably not true....

But that's the rub, you just can't trust Bill.. So who knows.

They in return probably greased his path to money and the Whitehouse for his silence.

Probably along the lines "keep everyone away from Mena and we might help you in the future.

which is based on "Dark Alliance."

I know the CIA/Reagan/Contra crap is in it, but don't remember if Clinton is. It may give you some leads to Clinton's involvement.

Gary Webb was murdered for reporting the stories.

PEACE
LOVE

I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist and I don't want to make this site look it.
