>>       FBI COVER-UP OF CHINESE INFILTRATION OF WHITE HOUSE
>>      Clinton and Gore Funded by Chinese Agents Since 1989
>>
>>    Friday's leak through the Washington Post that  the  FBI  has
>>known  since  1991  that  the  Democrat  Party  is infiltrated by
>>Chinese agents is a  seminal  event.  For  it  offers  sufficient
>>detail  to  complete  the  picture  of  how  the  entire  Chinese
>>intelligence penetration succeeded.  When combining it with other
>>leaks,  intelligence  reports,  and  congressional  investigation
>>results, the following picture can be put together:
>>
>>
>>    In the 1980s, the People's Republic of China made a  decision
>>to  build  the most powerful military force in the world. In less
>>than a decade, China's annual military spending tripled. In terms
>>of manpower, it already had the largest army in the world. But to
>>project force, it needed a modern Navy as  well.   To  rival  the
>>U.S.  military,  it needed advanced U.S. military technology, and
>>it needed U.S. dollars to purchase  such  technology.  Republican
>>administrations had permitted trade with China that produced hard
>>currency, but had  employed  tight  export  controls  to  prevent
>>advanced  U.S. military technology from falling into the hands of
>>Communists. So the  Chinese  government  bet  its  money  on  two
>>Southern  Democrats  with  an  expressed  and desperate desire to
>>ascend to the U.S. Presidency.
>>
>>
>>THE INGENIOUS DIVERSION
>>
>>    It is against the law for a  foreign  government  to  support
>>U.S.  politicians,  and movement inside U.S. borders of Communist
>>China agents is watched closely by FBI counterintelligence.
>>
>>    So Communist China set up a diversion so  ingenious  that  it
>>has  confused reporters for years, but has been known to and kept
>>secret by the FBI.  Mainland China used its archrival Taiwan,  as
>>well  as Hong Kong, as conduits for the funds paid to Clinton and
>>Gore. Democratic Taiwan and Hong Kong are  the  last  places  you
>>would  look  for Communist agents, and the many U.S. subsidiaries
>>of  Taiwanese,  Hong   Kong,   and   Indonesian   companies   and
>>organizations  offered  convenient  footholds  through  which  to
>>launder money and buy influence with U.S. politicians.
>>
>>    China Resources bought into  Lippo  Bank  of  Hong  Kong  and
>>Indonesia  and  placed its officers John Huang and James Riady in
>>Arkansas. John Huang was born in Mainland China, but  had  served
>>in  the  Taiwanese  air  force.   Ya Long Economic Trading of the
>>Chinese Hainan province sought influence and  legitimacy  through
>>the  Hsi  Lai  temple of Taiwan, through its representative Maria
>>Hsia, born in Taiwan.
>>
>>    Both John Huang and Maria Hsia are known by  the  FBI  to  be
>>agents of Communist China. Together with James Riady, they formed
>>the Pacific Leadership  Council,  and  invited  none  other  than
>>then-Senator Al Gore to the Hsi Lai temple headquarters in Taiwan
>>in 1989.   On  behalf  of  the  Chinese  government,  Maria  Hsia
>>promised  Al  Gore that she would persuade all her colleagues "in
>>the future to play a leader role in your presidential race." When
>>Al  Gore  entered  the  Hsi Lai temple of Los Angeles seven years
>>later to facilitate the laundry of donations in a  "fund-raiser,"
>>he must have known it came from the Chinese government.
>>
>>    Well, Gore didn't make it to the presidential race  a  second
>>time,  because  of  another  promising candidate that the Chinese
>>government had bet even  more  money  on:   Bill  Clinton,  then-
>>Governor of Arkansas.
>>
>>
>>THE BAG MEN
>>
>>    To help Clinton's election for president, enormous amounts of
>>money  was  needed.  The  money  flowed  primarily  through three
>>channels. Money needed for legitimate  spending  by  the  Clinton
>>campaign  flowed  through  the  Lippo- controlled Worthen Bank of
>>Little Rock, which among other cash transfers granted  Clinton  a
>>crucial  $3.5 million "loan" to bring him over the top in the New
>>York  primary.  Money  needed  for  legitimate  spending  by  the
>>Democrat  National  Committee was laundered primarily through the
>>Pacific  Leadership  Council.  For  Clinton's  1996  re-election,
>>additional money for the DNC and for various committees and funds
>>operating  on  behalf  of  Bill  Clinton  was  laundered   though
>>individual  bag  men  like Charlie Trie and Johnny Chung, who had
>>the money wired to them directly from the Bank of China.
>>
>>    But in 1992, the most significant use of funds,  we  suspect,
>>was illegitimate.  A campaign such as that of Bill Clinton cannot
>>succeed without the availability of unlimited  cash  to  buy  off
>>bank  regulators  and  public officials to look the other way. To
>>pay  local,  state,  and  federal  police   officers   to   block
>>investigations  and  grand  jury  proceedings.  To  pay newspaper
>>reporters and editors to avert their gaze and stop  investigating
>>sensitive  issues. To throw around in vote-buying efforts, in the
>>Clinton campaign referred to as "walking-around money."
>>
>>    All these illegitimate uses of campaign money have one  thing
>>in  common.   The  money  need  not be laundered. It need only be
>>brought in from the donor.  And brought in it was. In  planeloads
>>of   cash,  brought  in  through  the  remote  Mena  airport  and
>>transferred to the trunk of the Cadillac of bag man  Jerry  Parks
>>who,  according  to  the  London  Telegraph,  together with Vince
>>Foster transported the illegal cash to Little Rock.  Both  Foster
>>and  Parks  are  now  dead, and we have no idea how much cash was
>>brought in through this route, though we suspect it surpassed the
>>amount  of  money  that  was  laundered into legitimate political
>>spending.
>>
>>    Of all the bag men discovered so far, six are  now  dead,  36
>>have  pleaded  the Fifth Amendment, eleven have fled the country,
>>and  eleven  are  living  in  foreign  countries  and  refuse  to
>>cooperate.
>>
>>
>>THE PAYBACK
>>
>>    With Bill Clinton elected president  and  John  Huang  placed
>>with a top secret clearance (without examination) in the Commerce
>>Department, the Chinese got what they wanted:   unlimited  access
>>to  the  military, civilian and dual-use technology that had been
>>denied them during Republican administrations:
>>
>>  (*) F-16 fighter jets
>>  (*) Cray supercomputers for weapons development
>>  (*) Machine tools for cruise missile construction
>>  (*) Global Positioning System technology for missile guidance
>>  (*) Satellites and satellite technology
>>  (*) The entire U.S. Patent database.
>>  (*) Nuclear Power plants
>>
>>
>>    John Huang used his top secret clearance to  gain  access  to
>>classified  U.S.  military  and  industrial secrets on encryption
>>technology and its relationship  to  intelligence  gathering  and
>>software  marketing  across the world. He then took the documents
>>across the street, to an office run by Riady partner Stephens' of
>>Little  Rock,  where  he  dropped  the documents so they could be
>>collected by Chinese intelligence.
>>
>>    And when Chinese military and intelligence wanted a  foothold
>>in  America,  President  Clinton  personally  met twice with Long
>>Beach officials to push through a deal to lease the former  naval
>>base  to  the  Chinese COSCO front company on extremely favorable
>>terms despite vocal national security concerns.
>>
>>
>>THWARTING THE INVESTIGATION
>>
>>    The most shocking and  devastating  revelation  made  by  Bob
>>Woodward's story Friday is that after Chairman Thompson announced
>>two weeks ago that he was suspending his public hearings, the FBI
>>obtained intelligence showing that the Ministry of State Security
>>in Beijing -- the Chinese equivalent of the CIA -- boasted it had
>>been successful in "thwarting" the congressional inquiry.
>>
>>    How could Chinese agents be able to "thwart"  an  inquiry  by
>>the  U.S. congress? The answer is not hard to find. One need only
>>look at those who irrationally attacked  Chairman  Fred  Thompson
>>for  his  opening  statement,  where he revealed that there was a
>>Chinese plot  to  influence  the  election.   His  statement  was
>>deliberately  non-partisan, so there would be no partisan reasons
>>to counterattack. But the interests of the  Chinese  intelligence
>>agency would be served.  Senator John Glenn said: "I think I have
>>seen everything the chairman has seen, and I  recall  nothing  to
>>document allegations that China had done anything illegal." After
>>the FBI offered to show the classified evidence  to  any  Senator
>>who  wished  to see it, Senator Glenn fell strangely silent. Even
>>more shocking was Senator Glenn's offer to negotiate an  immunity
>>agreement  on  behalf  of  John  Huang. How did John Glenn end up
>>representing a Communist agent  whom  Senate  staffers  had  been
>>unable to locate?
>>
>>    Senators Carl Levin and Robert  Toricelli  displayed  similar
>>behavior.   Both  having  accepted cash from John Huang, they too
>>spoke the case of the Chinese intelligence agency:  "I  find  the
>>fact  that Mr. Huang would maintain an arrangement where he would
>>make phone calls outside the Department of Commerce not in and of
>>itself   suspicious,"   Senator  Toricelli  said  of  the  secret
>>Stephens' office where Huang dropped his stolen state secrets.
>>
>>    We can add to this list Senate Minority leader  Tom  Daschle,
>>who  has  accepted  cash  from  Maria  Hsia,  and  who personally
>>recommended John Huang to be placed in the  Commerce  department.
>>He  later  was  instrumental  in  imposing  a  fixed  deadline on
>>Thompson's inquiry, so it could be stalled by  Democrat  Senators
>>and by the White House.
>>
>>
>>    Chairman Thompson's landmark  opening  statement  included  a
>>reference  to the U.S. media. He referred to intelligence showing
>>Chinese agents "attempting to communicate Beijing's views through
>>media channels in the United States."
>>
>>    It comes as no surprise, then, that network  and  cable  news
>>anchors   took  the  position  of  Senator  Glenn  in  ridiculing
>>Thompson's allegation.  And the Boston Globe wrote:
>>
>>  "Does anybody really think little  Clinton,  raised  in  that
>>  tar-shingled  shack  in  Hope, Ark., with his gutsy mom going
>>  out to nurse the poor for short money, trying to find a  life
>>  for  herself  and her two boys, marrying four times along the
>>  way, learning to take her small pleasures where she could, at
>>  the  race track or the cigarette counter, do you really think
>>  that her boy grows up to become president only  to  sell  out
>>  the  USA  to  Chinese  spies laundering cash through Buddhist
>>  nuns?  I don't." [Violin music off]
>>
>>    Whether they know it or not, all of those listed  above  have
>>been  used  as  instruments  of  a  successful disinformation and
>>propaganda campaign by a foreign Communist government.
>>
>>    Fortunately, the Chinese haven't gotten to Bob Woodward or to
>>William Safire, or to Tim Russert who repeatedly has invited them
>>both on NBC's "Meet the Press" to tell what they know  about  the
>>Chinese  penetration  of  the  U.S. government. Chris Matthews is
>>another of the few mainstream media commentators who has  had  an
>>ear  for  the gravity of this scandal.  And there is at least one
>>FBI counterintelligence agent who is so outraged by the  cover-up
>>of his superiors that he is now leaking to Bob Woodward.
>>
>>    Neither have the Chinese government gotten to Dan  Burton  or
>>Bob  Barr, the only Congressmen left to take seriously the threat
>>of Chinese infiltration.  Burton, a fervent  anti-Communist,  and
>>Barr,  a  former  CIA employee, now form the last line of defense
>>against a People's Republic of China already occupying the  White
>>House.
>>
>>
