Linked Report By "Conspiracy Theorist"? White House
Max Kennedy
The following is part of the Ruddy article, with some snips from
"Orlin Grabbe" (an editor of Liberty magazine) and "Jim Norman"
(former editor of Forbes magazine).
Grabbe and Norman, during the same months as the White House report
was released, was trying to discredit the same sources, ie Scaiffe,
Ruddy, &ct.
What makes this bizarre, is during the same months, June, August 1995,
the White House was using Grabbe and Norman as examples of "conspiracy
theorists" in its secret "Conspiracy Commerce" report, as an
explanation of why all derogratory news was unreliable.
This begs the question, is Grabbe and Norman White House "strawmen"?
No reporter has ever gone broke assuming that Grabbe is trying to lead
away from an important story. Latest example of that is the WhoDB
story. You can predict a year in an advance that a story is
important by a fictatious version put out by Grabbe... The more
important, the more wild Grabbe gets, with a definate taste for
"secret nuclear missile launch codes", "CIA hackers and Congressional
Coups by blackmail", Cray computers in trucks, &c &c.
Is this the Clinton Response Team for the Internet?

Christopher Ruddy
Los Angeles Times
January 28, 1997
With no hint of self-consciousness, the Clinton White House has
distributed a 331-page file with the strange title, "The Communication
Stream of Conspiracy Commerce." It charges that certain media
outlets--especially two I'm associated with, the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review published by Richard Mellon Scaife in Greenburg, Pa.
and the Western Journalism Center in Sacramento--are spreading
right-wing conspiratorial theories concerning the July 20, 1993, death
of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster Jr.
Ed Note: [The White House report, distributed July and August of 1995]
According to the file, such irresponsible reportage finds its way into
the nation's "media food chain" and even goes global when these
rantings are "reprinted on the Internet, where they are bounced all
over the world." White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry then picked
up the tempo by characterizing reporters like myself as "crazy,"
"conspiracy theorists" and even "nut cases."
[...]
But had those Tribune-Review articles been shown in readable form, the
reader would have realized that they contain none of the capricious
theorizing the White House quite correctly charges is being circulated
on the Internet: that Foster's death is linked to Israel's Mossad;
Ed Note: That is the Grabbe/Norman theory. During July, August 1995,
here is what Grabbe was writing:
Allegations Regarding Vince Foster, the NSA, and
Banking Transactions Spying, Part XIX
J. Orlin Grabbe
08/19/95
Think of the parallels between Arkansas and Pittsburgh.
A. Bill Clinton, with the financial backing of Don Lasater and
Jackson Stephens, ran Little Rock like a Mafia don.
B. Richard Scaife, using his own fortune, runs Pittsburgh like a
Mafia don.
Ed Note: Wow, Grabbe is after Scaife too, and the White House used
Grabbe/Norman as EXAMPLES in its own report??!!!
A. The friends of Bill Clinton were involved in supplying weapons
to the Contras.
B. The friends of Richard Scaife were involved in supplying weapons
and nuclear-related technology to Iraq.
A. Many of the Arkansas companies involved were represented by
the Rose law firm.
B. Many of Iraq's nuclear suppliers are represented by the law
firm of Buchanan Ingersoll P.C.
A. The Arkansas money was laundered through Don Lasater's bond
business, Jackson Stephens' Worthen bank, and the ADFA.
B. The Pittsburgh money was laundered through Mellon Bank.
A. Faced with media exposure, the Little-Rock based Systematics
(Alltel Information Services), a supplier of banking software, hires a
New York detective firm named Proust and Killman to monitor its
critics. Proust is said to have been sacked by Richard Helms as a CIA
renegade.
B. Faced with media exposure, the Pittsburgh-based Mellon Bank,
scheduled to face a RICO-suit for money laundering on August 28, hires
a New York detective firm named Proust and Killman to monitor its
critics. Proust is said to have been sacked by Richard Helms as a
CIA renegade.
A. Vince Foster was a behind-the-scenes manager of a Systematics-
related money-laundering project. According to a confidential report,
"When considered in comparison to BCCI in its original conceptual
intent, Systematics is several steps ahead of the capability of
Financial General, BCCI, BNL's grey book operations and any of the
CASA de Cambios that are currently servicing the lesser needs of the
covert/illegal money trades domestically and internationally. To
state this very simply, don't own the bank or the financial
institution that has to maintain its accounta- bility under regulatory
scrutiny--own the computers, financial software and employees which
operate the back office for the banks and financial institutions."
B. Vince Foster, at the time of his death, was in possession of
nuclear-weapons related materials. He had his executive assistant,
Deborah Gorham, place in Bernard Nussbaum's safe two notebooks from
the National Security Agency. One of these was blue, indicating
nuclear-related secrets. NSA's responsibilities include
communications security for strategic weapons systems such as the
Minuteman missile so as to prevent unauthorized intrusion,
interference, or jamming, and responsibility for developing the codes
by which the President must identify himself in order to authorize a
nuclear strike.
According to Anthony Kimery, in an article entitled *Fostergate
Continued*, scheduled to appear in the September issue of *Media
Bypass Magazine*, on the day of his death Vince Foster left the White
House around 1:00 p.m., "to meet a man employed by a company involved
in construction of signals intelligence collection facilities for the
National Security Agency (NSA) . . . Allegedly under investigation by
the FBI for contract fraud, the firm's Little Rock office was where
the tag to the vehicle driven by the man was registered."
A. Hillary Clinton, while one of the chief litigators of the Rose
law firm and wife of Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, was a director of
Wal-Mart, said to have been utilized in the Little Rock
money-laundering operation.
B. Hillary Clinton, while one of the chief litigators of the Rose
law firm and wife of Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, was a director of
Lafarge corporation, whose Marblehead, Ohio subsidiary Standard
Lafarge is said to have been utilized in the transport network to
ferret machine tools and nose cones out of Pittsburgh and into Canada
for shipment to Iraq.
A. The friends of Bill Clinton profited from the cash laundry of
the Bush-Casey linked CIA drugs-for-arms deals (reportedly 10% of the
profits of the laundry), then had a falling out, the bad news
delivered by William P. Barr.
[...]
B. The friends of Richard Scaife profited from the Bush
build-up of Iraq. Involved are Mellon-related companies Kennametal
and Westinghouse. Did Bush similarly have a falling out with Scaife?
At least in one recent court case we find William P. Barr
representing the Republic of the Phillipines against Westinghouse
Electric Corporation. (United States Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit, No. 93-5672, involving the Republic of the Phillipines
and the National Power Corporation, appellants, versus Westinghouse
Electric Corporation, Westinghouse International Projects Company, and
Burns and Roe Enterprises, Inc., appellees; the attorneys for the
appellants were William P. Barr and David J. Cynamon of Shaw, Pittman,
Potts & Trowbridge.)
[...]
Finally, consider the case of Jim Norman, Senior editor at *Forbes*
whose article *Fostergate*, about the Vince Foster case, was killed by
Steve Forbes, through the influence of Caspar Weinberger, Publisher
Emeritus, whose ex-company Bechtel Corporation got the contract to
build the PC2 petrochemical complex south of Baghdad, which is the
center of Iraq's chemical weapons program. Jim Norman kept his job,
however, and was permitted to publish the article elsewhere. It
appeared in the August 1995 issue of *Media Bypass Magazine*.
Ed Note: Jim Norman quit Forbes magazine when Forbes anounced his
intention to run for President under the Republican ticket, and for
the next 6-8 months alleged "conspiracy!" and "coverup!" at the
"highest levels of Forbes magazine!".

I find it interesting that the same William P. Barr recused himself
from the Clipper project at the end of the Bush administration. Mr.
Barr had some sort of conflict of interest with Clipper and the NSA.
The question is did he know of others who SHOULD HAVE recused
themselves from Clipper?
"In November, 1992, then Attorney General William P. Barr recused
himself regarding this matter and delegated the responsibility of
dealing with AT&T and this issue to the Director of the FBI."
Source: Top Secret Memo from FBI Director William Sessions to George
Tenet, President Clinton's NSC Director, Feb. 9, 1993 on the Clipper
project. Source: EPIC 1996 Privacy Sourcebook, page C-29
All this happened just before President Clinton would choose Vince
Foster, Webb Hubbell and Benard Nussbaum to oversee the "exploitable"
communications chip (bug). The three gentlemen would attend a top
secret meeting at NSA headquarters on May 2, 1993. It was there that
the Clinton administration decided to nationalize the US computer
security industry.
I note this in light of the fact that Foster had 2 binders, one tan
(Clipper) and one blue (Nuclear?) from the NSA in his office that
disappeared. The NSA and White House (Fabiani) initially denied
Foster had anything whatsoever to do with the NSA. FOIAs by
Washington Weekly forced the NSA to admit his role in the Clipper
project. Further FOIAs by Marc Rotenberg of EPIC have outlined
exactly what decisions were taken and when. The WW information
provided the who. The NSA has, to date, released only a few pages
from Foster's Clipper notebook.
Why the drip by drip? Why not release all of the materials now that
Clipper is a dead program? Why lie in the first place? Was the
Clipper project penetrated by a foreign intelligence operation? It
did indeed have the perfect target (eg.. the Clipper key list).
Obtain that single list and you would have access to every computer in
the US. And, indeed, one of the people who knew of that flaw ended up
dead under mysterious circumstances.
Now, there are those who still say that Clipper would have only
effected a limited number of government computers. They are either
suckers or liars. The Clipper plans clearly state what was intended:
"Technical solutions, such as they are, will only work if they
are incorporated into all encryption products. To ensure that
this occures, legislation mandating the use of Government
approved encryption products or adherence to Government
encryption criteria is required."
Source: Top Secret Memo, Feb. 19, 1993, from William Sessions to
President Clinton's NSC Director George Tenet, cc'd to the Director of
the NSA, and others whose names have been blacked out (still Top
Secret) as per the NSA on the cc list.
The only two courses of action for the Clinton Administration are:
1 - Release the NSA documents on Foster, Clipper and any other code
project. If there was wrongdoing let those responsible pay the
penalty.
2 - Continue to stonewall and pray nothing more leaks out for the next
three years.
Just how close did we come to digital disaster?

Can anyone tell me where to get the Clinton 331 page report?
