PREVAILING WINDS RESEARCH ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I made the following transcript from a tape recording of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio Network station WBAI-FM (99.5) 505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl. New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) MARK SWANEY: So they wanted to cover it up because it was the one thing that would have exposed the drug connection within the United States most heavily. TWO: And the other reason that they were very anxious to cover up Mena's involvement was because the base of operations that the CIA was using was, in fact, still active at the time the hearings were going on. And that base of operations supports covert operations all around the world, not just in Central America. For example, there's a current covert operation that was going on there at least as late as May of last year that killed a man from Arkansas and Angola. So the entire time that Barry Seal was operating out of that airport, the CIA was supporting their covert war with Jonas Savimbe and Manunita(sp) in Angola. And we have sources within the United States Government saying that there is covert activity going on in it this very day. PAUL DeRIENZO: Thank you very much, Mark Swaney. This is an amazing story, and the amazing thing about it is that this is the REAL story about Governor Bill Clinton and that what we're getting served to us from all the Media, from start to finish, from morning to night -- headlines in all the New York papers -- is this thing about Governor Clinton and this woman Jennifer Flowers, and her association with the Governor, who is married for 14 years. The real story, which you get on WBAI, underneath it all, from our contacts in Arkansas, is that, in fact, the Governor of Arkansas is covering up an illegal operation that began in the office of the Vice-President of the United States, who is now the President of the United States -- George Herbert Walker Bush, of course -- which makes me wonder why I should even bother voting. Who is there to vote for? I mean, both sides, the Democrats and the Republicans are involved. MARK SWANEY: That's another part of the story. You know that the best way to buy off an election is to pay off both candidates. There's significant Republican interest in seeing Bill Clinton get the nomination, from the standpoint that they will be assured then that none of the issues of the Iran-Contra Affair are likely to be talked about. Certainly, Clinton doesn't want to talk about them. We tried before we knew that Mr. Clinton was involved in this. We only came across this information five or six months ago, and for two years now we've been doing demonstrations, writing letters, collecting petitions, holding informational gatherings, to try to get this story to the people. And we have, on several occasions, sent Bill Clinton signatures, petitions of Arkansans asking for a state investigation. He refused to do anything about them. He would do nothing more than have an aide send us a two sentence letter saying we have received your petition. And then this last September, just one week before he decided to run for the Presidency, we contacted his office and said: "Listen, we'd be willing to talk to you or any one of your aides so that we could talk to you about this major crime problem in our state that we're concerned about, that we'd like to get to the bottom of." And he refused that. During the four or five years now that the Press has covered this story about Mena and Barry Seal .... You know, this is a story about people who have been murdered! This is a very, very serious affair! And during all of this time, talk of massive cocaine smuggling, corruption of local officials, corruption of Federal and State judicial systems -- on and on. There was total silence from Governor Clinton. Not a word! And it was not until our organization had a large demonstration (It wasn't really a large demonstration, but it was very well covered in the Arkansas Press) that reporters approached Mr. Clinton about Mena. He talked about it for the first time in four or five years. And what he had to say at that time was that he had in fact authorized some money for lonely little Polk County, which is a poor county in Southwestern Arkansas, to run an investigation. And so we asked him for back-up from the Governor's office. We said: "By the Freedom of Information Act, we'd like to know if you have any documentation whatsoever to back up your statement that you are willing to help the Polk County investigators do their own state investigation in this affair." And he could not produce a single thing. (end of report) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is one of countless stories unveiling the subverted, corrupt and fascistic state of our theoretically democratic Government. This story makes it disgustingly obvious that true patriotism is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless supporting of our Government, just because it happens to be ours. You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it. True patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country in order that they may unite to conquer this anti-democratic cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series to computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. That would be a truly patriotic deed.
