>>>FYI

>>>Corrupt to the Core: The pandemic of official criminality
>>>
>>>Relevance January 1997 Vol. III, No. VII
>>>
>>>Excerpt: Clinton meets with Chinese arms smuggler
>>>
>>>Have the Chinese Communists established a Long Beach "Beachhead" in the
U.S?
>>>
>>>In late December it was revealed that one of Clinton's coffee sitdowns was
>>>attended by Mr. Wang Jun, the head of a Chinese firm caught trying to
>>>smuggle 2,000 fully automatic AK-47 rifles into the United States, for sale
>>>to steet gangs. Wang, who is the head of the massive Chinese government
>>>conglomerate, the Poly Group, met with Clinton on February 6th, 1996 at yet
>>>another of the infamous and intimate coffee gatherings. Only nine days
>>>later, on Feb. 15th, Poly group representatives began smuggling the weapons
>>>into San Francisco. Wang's invite was arranged by Charles Yah Lin Trie,
>>>another from Clinton's stable of foreign-connected Little Rock businessmen.
>>>Trie made headlines recently for his attempt to donate $640,000 to
Clinton's
>>>legal defense fund. The contribution was offered mere weeks after Wang's
>>>rendezvous with the president, and was disallowed because of the funds'
>>>questionable sources. Mr. Trie has extensive business dealings in China and
>>>maintains an address in Beijing. After the attempted "donation", Trie was
>>>placed on a White House trade policy board dealing with Asian trade.
>>>
>>>While this meeting was taking place, undercover agents of the U.S. Customs
>>>and ATF were consumating a sting called Operation Dragon Fire, which was
>>>launched after California street gang members were found to be sporting
>>>fully automatic weapons. After a one-and -a-half year investigation, a
major
>>>bust occurred on May 22nd, 1996 and the deal's primary broker, Hammond Ku,
>>>was arrested along with seven others on charges of illegal weapons
smuggling
>>>and the 2,000 full auto AK-47's were seized, along with tens of
thousands of
>>>rounds of ammunition. But somehow the Chinese higher ups in the smuggling
>>>operation were tipped off by official leaks about the operation to the
press
>>>and they managed to escape the country. According to the U.S. Customs
>>>International Crime Alert, the fugitives include Bao Ping (Robert) Ma, who
>>>was an executive of the Dynasty Holding Company of Atlanta, Georgia.
Dynasty
>>>is a subsidiary of Polytechnologies, the weapons-making division of Wang
>>>Jun's Poly Group. Along with Poly, the other company involved was the China
>>>Northern Industrial Company (Norinco). Both firms and the Chinese
government
>>>denied any involvement. Norinco even had the audacity to state that it
makes
>>>only harmless products like "toys and lamps", despite the fact that Norinco
>>>has become a household word among patrons of U.S. gun shows, where their
>>>semi-automatic weapons are sold. The suspects repeatedly emphasized to U.S.
>>>agents that both the weapons firms and the illegal deal were entirely under
>>>the control of the Chinese government [See The Washington Times February
>>>2nd, 1997]. Seven of the fourteen suspects are still at large and some,
>>>including Robert Ma, are believed to be back in China. The Customs Alert
>>>further revealed: Kok Ky, a Chinese official, is alleged to have met with
>>>defendants Hammond Ku and Richard Chen in Cambodia to negotiate the
>>>smuggling of additional heavy weapons into the U.S. Thus, we learn that a
>>>Chinese government official was implicated in the smuggling ring, and that
>>>the 2,000 AK-47's were only the first installment plan\par \pard ned for
>>>U.S. export. As to the "heavy weapons", Customs officials reported that Ku
>>>and his associates had made an offer to undercover agents to sell 300,000
>>>machine guns equipped with silencers, mortars, American-made,
shoulder-fired
>>>Stinger missiles and, as we wrote last month, surface-to-air missiles,
which
>>>were, as Ku told the Custom's agents after he was arrested, "so powerful
>>>that they could bring down a jumbo jet." [Source: Customs International
>>>Alert and office of U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox]. Ku, who is cooperating with
>>>the authorities, claimed that the Chinese had no concerns about the fact
>>>that the undercover agents claimed they were planning to sell the missiles
>>>to terrorists. So we have Kok Ky, who is an official in the Chinese
>>>government, on a Customs "Wanted" list for smuggling fully automatic
weapons
>>>into the U.S. with promises of surface-to-air missiles and other goodies
for
>>>terrorists. But what if these are merely renegade criminals with no real
>>>connection with the Chinese leadership? An Associated Press article of June
>>>22nd, 1996 described Norinco and Poly Technologies as "companies whose
>>>executive ranks are filled with former generals and relatives of senior
>>>Communist Party leaders, prosecutors said".
>>>
>>>In case anyone has a hard time believing that the Chinese government would
>>>be involved in such reprehensible activities, consider that, one week
before
>>>President Clinton met with Wang Jun, U.S. authorities had confirmed that
the
>>>Chinese had just shipped M-11 cruise missiles to the terrorist-supporting,
>>>virulently anti-American nation of Iran. The day before the meeting, the
>>>U.S. learned that our Chinese trading partners had illegally delivered ring
>>>magnets to Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. As The Washington Post is
>>>reporting a major Justice Department espionage probe involving former
>>>Commerce Department official and "friend of Bill" John Huang, and the
>>>Democratic National Committee. The smuggling of silencer-equipped automatic
>>>weapons and missiles to street gangs is a subversive, terroristic act --
>>>tantamount to an act of war by the Chinese. What was the U.S. response?
>>>State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns stated: "I don't see why this
>>>needs to complicate U.S.-China relations at all."
>>>
>>>Remember that the Clinton administration is waging a war on U.S. gunowners
>>>wishing to possess semi-automatic rifles which are falsely branded as
>>>"assault rifles". Yet, when a foreign communist power is caught trying to
>>>supply vicious street gangs with automatic machine guns -- true assault
>>>weapons -- a blind eye is turned. This attitude of appeasement to the
>>>Chinese was rubbed deeper into the faces of the American people in December
>>>when the "Butcher of Tiananmen Square", General Chi Hoatian -- who held the
>>>equivalent rank of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time of the
>>>massacre, was treated to full military honors with a 21-gun salute, brought
>>>on a tour of the Pentagon, several bases and a nuclear weapons lab, and
>>>taken on tours of the hallowed Gettysburg battle site. This was the man who
>>>was "in operational control and responsible for the detailed planning of
the
>>>assault" on the peaceful demonstrators. When asked if the Pentagon "had any
>>>reservations about hosting an individual who had unleashed tanks and troops
>>>to cut down unarmed civilians", its Press Spokesman Ken Bacon responded:
>>>"The answer to the question is 'No.'" [See the Center for Security Policy's
>>>"Perspective", December 4th, 1996 No. 96-C 124][Ed. Note: Then again, we
>>>have our own Butcher of Waco, so we can't be too "judgemental" about the
>>>Chinese. In addition, it is important not to lose sight of one
uncomfortable
>>>reality in all this. Namely, we cannot truly blame Bill Clinton for
>>>supporting the Chinese when the American people are buying their goods by
>>>the billions -- from tennis shoes to tee-shirts, we are purchasing products
>>>made, in part, by slave labor and are bankrolling one of the most barbaric
>>>regimes in history.]
>>>
>>>Relevance has been warning since our August 1994 issue that the many
>>>military base closings and realignments were part of a larger, long-range
>>>plan identified in 1961 in the State Department document Freedom from War
>>>(State Department Document No. 7277). In addition to downsizing the
military
>>>out of existence, the bases would be used for other, "peaceful
purposes". In
>>>1994 we exposed the setting up of the globalist Gorbachev Foundation at the
>>>closed Army base at Presidio in San Francisco. Well, thanks to public
>>>support, in June of this year, the Chinese Communist government will have a
>>>145-acre beachhead in the United States for waging its Orwellian brand of
>>>peace against this country. The Port of Long Beach, California is handing
>>>over the Long Beach Naval Station to our "allies" in Beijing. That's right.
>>>Starting this spring, the Chinese government's wholly-owned transportation
>>>conglomerate, China Ocean Shipping Co. (COSCO) will begin leasing the site
>>>of the naval base, which was shut down in 1994 by the Base Reallignment and
>>>Closure Commission. So how is this U.S. Navy base being "realigned"? The
Red
>>>Chinese want us to turn it into their own "dedicated" shipping terminal
>>>(currently they have to share limited dock space with other companies).
>>>Groundbreaking will later begin on building the proposed terminal, which is
>>>to be fully equipped with "six post-Panamax gantry cranes, capable of
>>>reaching across at least 18 rows of containers." According to the Port of
>>>Long Beach, the facility is being designed "to accommodate COSCO's new
fleet
>>>of 5,250-TEU containerships." Yvonne Avila, the director of Communications
>>>at the Port of Long Beach told Relevance that each of the six ships carry
>>>5,250 containers measuring 20'x8'x8'. But every good beachhead needs a
means
>>>to move large quantities of troops and materiel inland, right? The Chinese
>>>will be provided with "a two-unit dockside railyard to handle COSCO's
>>>intermodal shipments to the U.S. Midwest, Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard."
>>>[Editor's Note: Maybe we're being too old-fashioned, but isn't it
unwise, if
>>>not treasonous, to allow a totalitarian government, which has recent ly
made
>>>veiled threats to strike Los Angeles with nuclear missiles [as reported by
>>>the U.S. Ambassador to China, Winston Lord], to have its very own 150-acre
>>>shipping terminal just outside that city. The progressive thinkers in the
>>>Clinton Administration would probably accuse us of being reactionary for
>>>thinking that it is wrong to permit a dedicated U.S. shipping terminal and
>>>railhead to a government which starves its orphan children, forces its
>>>people to have abortions, executes its political prisoners in order to sell
>>>their organs, runs over its unarmed political protesters with tanks, and
>>>sells missiles and chemical weapons to terrorist nations, and whose
>>>state-owned arms conglomerate has just been busted for trying to sell
>>>fully-automatic AK-47 machine guns and rocket launchers to street gangs and
>>>other assorted criminals in American neighborhoods. Where is the famous
>>>Clinton concern "for the children"?]
>>>
>>>Of course, with China's historic prowess at opium production and export,
one
>>>has to at least consider the tempting possibilities offered by such a
>>>dedicated terminal for organized heroin smuggling into the U.S. [Note:
>>>judging from the recent rapid surge in that drug's usage, and the
relaxation
>>>of customs inspections at the U.S.-Mexico border under the pretext of
>>>"removing restraints on free trade", it is likely already underway].
>>>Relevance asked the Long Beach Customs information office whether, in the
>>>wake of the AK-47 bust and the dedication of the massive COSCO terminal,
the
>>>Long Beach Customs Office could still reassure the public that it would be
>>>safe from further smuggling. We were told by one information officer:
>>>"There's no way we can reassure you -- there's no way we can check all the
>>>containers that come in here...we've had government cutbacks, so we don't
>>>have as many inspectors as we used to". The spokesperson added, "We get 60
>>>ships per day here" and the larger ships carry over five thousand
>>>containers.
>>>
>>>Thus, the gargantuan task faced by honest Customs agents is astonishingly
>>>difficult. In addition, when such massive money is involved, the
possibility
>>>of a bribe appealing to a dishonest agent is always present. When we asked
>>>whether there were any Customs agents in that port who had been
convicted of
>>>being "on the take" we were told that this was a "very sensitive question"
>>>and we were referred to Mike Fleming of the Long Beach Customs Public
>>>Affairs Office. Fleming refused all comment and, incredibly, refused to
>>>speak with Relevance on any Customs issue whatsoever.
