BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Because in our day, George, they used to hang men for treason, NOT elect them president !! 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: In fact, ADFA is a total invention of Bill Clinton's. He created the agency out of thin air and appoints all of the top directors. In any case, a reporter approached Bill Clinton in Japan and started to question him about Larry Nichols. Wanted to know what this guy was doing on state payroll -- if he was lobbying for the Contras, or just what the story was. Mr. Clinton, rather precipitously fired Larry Nichols directly after that. And the story that was put out was that he was fired for misusing state telephones -- that he had supposedly made hundreds of calls to the Contras and ran up thousands of dollars worth of bills to the Contras. That is an unsubstantiated allegation. In fact, on Larry Nichols's suggestion, the organization I work with received his entire phone records from ADFA, through the Freedom of Information Act. We went over those phone records with him, call by call, and we did not find any records of calls by him outside the United States on those phone records. So it was a phony charge, and Larry Nichols was, in fact, wrongfully fired. They made up this story that he was calling the Contras in order to get rid of him. PAUL DeRIENZO: Why do you think that was? MARK SWANEY: Well, I don't know the exact reason, but I can tell you this: that Larry Nichols and Buddy Young, the man I mentioned earlier, are very close friends. PAUL DeRIENZO: Well that's a point that you just mentioned: that Buddy Young was the State Security man who discovered the airplane. The allegedly stolen airplane belonging to Terry Reed was, in fact, in a certain airport hangar. MARK SWANEY: Everything to do with that. In fact, the federal judge is on record as calling Buddy Young a liar in Terry Reed's trial. But see -- Larry Nichols and Buddy Young knew each other and are close friends, according to the newspaper accounts that were in the newspaper down here in Arkansas yesterday. They're old buddies. PAUL DeRIENZO: Yes, well that's what the Associated Press report that I'm looking at right now says: that Nichols dropped his lawsuit after consulting with Buddy Young. MARK SWANEY: Yes. Now I'm going to say something right now which is rather shocking. This is the first time this has been made public, to my knowledge. A member of my organization, who is going to be at a press conference that we're having tomorrow, spoke with Larry Nichols. We've been in contact with him for several months, off and on on the telephone, and he's had a conversation with him sometime around the first week of January, during which Larry Nichols told this member of my organization that Buddy Young had called him and told him that he, in fact, was a dead man -- that he was under threat of death. PAUL DeRIENZO: Buddy Young was? MARK SWANEY: No. Larry Nichols. And at that time, Buddy Young was frightened. He was not threatening Larry Nichols personally. He was saying that we're all in trouble with this because there's a move in the Governor's office to get rid of me. So Buddy Young was afraid that Governor Clinton was about to axe him in the same way that he axed Larry Nichols. And so serious did he take this possibility that he informed Larry Nichols directly that he was a dead man. PAUL DeRIENZO: So Larry Nichols is now saying that Buddy Young, the chief of Governor Clinton's gubernatorial campaign has told him that he's a dead man. MARK SWANEY: Yes, that is the information that Larry Nichols gave to us. Now, as I say, that has not been reported anywhere else and I would not bet a lot right now on Mr. Nichols backing that statement up. But I back it up. PAUL DeRIENZO: And this is prior to him dropping this lawsuit against Governor Clinton? MARK SWANEY: Yes. The timing of his dropping the lawsuit is interesting to us too, because we just recently were in contact with THE NATION Magazine, and it was approximately two days after THE NATION Magazine actually decided to take the information that we had collected on this case very seriously. And in fact, they are now pursuing their own investigative journalism on this. It was about two days after that that Larry Nichols declared that he was going to drop his lawsuit. So there's some very strange things that are going on. There is a great deal of other information connecting Governor Clinton to the operation in Mena, Arkansas. We don't have what you'd call a smoking gun on this. I have, in front of me, a piece of paper on which I've written seventeen questions for the Governor that the media has totally overlooked in their haste to salivate over all these sexual stories. They've totally missed what's available. For example, the organization that I work for has been ..... I don't say I work for. Nobody pays us. We're getting broke doing this. But in any case, we've collected just about everything that's publicly available about Mena and all of its ramifications. It's a tremendous story, and I'd like to emphasize, right now, that Governor Clinton's part in this is very minor. The real big fish in this story is President George Bush. The damage that could come from this information coming out is, in fact, far more damaging to George Bush than to anyone else, because he's directly responsible for this. This operation was run out of then-Vice- President George Bush's office. And I'd also like to add that the Arkansas chapter of the Iran-Contra story was the one that was most heavily covered up at the time. It was the part of the story that they had that they took the most care to see to it that nothing ever came out about it. And that was for two reasons: ONE: Because it involves massive cocaine smuggling. We had one pilot who came to the university and spoke directly to us and said: "I personally flew, for the CIA, guns, Panamanian Defense Forces, and approximately one ton of cocaine per flight. I flew seven of these flights into Mena, Arkansas." (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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. John DiNardo
