The Clinton Body Count It was at 21 when this report was written in 1994. What will it be after four more years? The following excerpts were transcribed from printed material. My comments in [brackets]. ----------------------------- Begin Excerpts -------------------------------- [text omitted] With the release of this report, I may be the #1 target of a group of very short-tempered gentlemen who have thus far dispatched [at least] 21 people who were an embarrassment to their friend Bill Clinton. All of the 21 knew a bit too much about Whitewater or Troopergate or Cattlegate or some other Clinton scandal. In some ways, I know more than they did. I spent 20 years in Arkansas, and I personally knew Clinton, Jim Blair, Vince Foster, Jim McDougal, David Hale, Don Tyson, Governor Tucker, and dozens more of that bunch. Some of the dead probably died by accident. But it's silly to pretend they all did. For example: Victim 1: On September 26, 1993, Luther "Jerry" Parks enjoyed a nice dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Little Rock. On the way home, his car was forced to a stop and he was mowed down by unfriendlies with nine-millimeter semiautomatic pistols. [text omitted] Jerry was the owner of American Contract Services, which supplied the guards for Clinton's presidential campaign and transition headquarters (Clinton still owed him $81,000) so he knew a lot about Clinton's comings and goings. As a matter of fact, Jerry had quietly been compiling a major study of Clinton's sexual affairs for about six years. Not quietly enough though. Shortly before his demise, his home was broken into and the study's backup files - filled with photos and names - were stolen, according to his widow, Jane, after the security alarm was skillfully cut. [text omitted] After a long investigation, Little Rock police detective Sergeant Clyde Steelman gave his character endorsement, "The Parks family aren't lying to you." Victim 2: You must understand the central fact about the Whitewater Development Corporation: It was not the main crime. Whitewater was only a pretext set up by Jim McDougal and the Clintons to milk millions of dollars from the SBA [Small Business Administration], banks, Arkansas Development Finance Authority [ADFA], and Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The Resolution Trust Corporation [RTC] people eventually figured out that their investigation of Madison wasn't getting anywhere because it was based in Kansas City, where Clinton's people stymied it. So Jon Parnell Walker, a Senior Investigation Specialist in the RTC's Washington [D.C.] office, began a campaign to get the case moved to DC. Soon after, Jon was looking over a possible new apartment in Lincoln Towers in Arlington, Virginia, when reportedly he suddenly decided to climb over the balcony railing and jump. Victim 3: You remember the name Danny Ferguson. He is the Arkansas patrolman who once said he brought Paula Jones to Bill Clinton's hotel room. Kathy, 38, his wife at the time, blabbed a lot about such things. She often told friends and coworkers about how Bill had gotten Danny to bring women to him and stand watch while they had sex. [text omitted] Kathy told people that Bill was really mad when Paula Jones wouldn't "put out." Bill hates to be refused. On May 10 [year?], Kathy was found dead with a pistol in her hand. A suicide, the police said. [text omitted] Footnote to story: About three weeks later, Danny reversed his story, saying he didn't lead Paula to Clinton's room after all. Second footnote: Bill Shelton, Kathy's new boyfriend since her separation from Danny, was loudly critical of the suicide story and complained to many people about it. Bill was found dead on June 9. They're calling this a suicide, too. Victim 4: Vincent Foster, who was Clinton's counsel for Whitewater, was the highest government official to meet an untimely death since the Kennedys. He could have killed himself on July 20, 1993, Robert Fiske, Clinton's "independent" counsel claimed. But it's rather doubtful. The story line concocted by Fiske has about 20 major holes in it, which partly explains his replacement by Kenneth Starr. [This section was to long to type!] Victim 5 & 6: C. Then you have the small-plane crashes, which are fairly easy events to stage. [text omitted] [...] C. Victor Raiser II, the former finance co-chairman of Clinton's presidential campaign, and his son, Montgomery. Their plane crashed in good weather near Anchorage, Alaska, on July 30, 1992. Victim 7: Herschel Friday was another member of Raiser's committee and a heck of a nice guy. His plane dropped out of sight and exploded as he approached his own private landing strip in Arkansas in a light drizzle on March 1, 1994. Herschel was a top-notch pilot and his strip is better than those in most cities. [...] Victim 8: Just two days later, Dr. Ronald Rogers, a very vocal dentist from Royal, Arkansas, was on his way to reveal some dirt on Clinton to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, a reporter from the London Sunday Telegraph, when his twin-engine Cessna crashed with a full tank of gas in clear weather south of Lawton, Oklahoma. [text omitted] Victim 9: [...Barry Seal's] story is so exciting that Hollywood made it into a movie, 'Double-Crossed' [...] Barry made about $50 million as a pilot and plane supplier in Clinton's incredibly elaborate and successful drug-running operation out of Mena, Arkansas. [text omitted] Barry Seal was eventually arrested by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. To get off the hook, he turned state's evidence and fingered several big drug dealers. He even managed to take clandestine photographs of major Colombian and Panamanian figures, one of which President Reagan showed proudly in a nationwide TV speech. But in the end, the DEA betrayed the flamboyant Barry by allowing him to be sentenced to a halfway house, where a few days later he was a sitting duck for three Colombian avengers with Uzi and MAC-10 submachine guns with silencers. [This section was to long to type!] Victim 10 & 11: Kevin Ives and Don Henry, two Bryant, Arkansas, teenagers, apparently were a bit too snoopy about the air drops of dope and cash they had observed in the nearby countryside at night (part of the Mena operation). They were found on the morning of August 23, 1987, having been run over by a train. "They fell asleep on the tracks," according to state medical examiner Fahmy Malak, a Clinton appointee [...] ( [...] Malak once declared that a decapitated man had died of "natural causes," a ruling Clinton defended as a mere symptom of overwork.) Malak's opinion caused a big ruckus locally. Eventually, the boy's irate parents managed to get a second coroner's opinion, and the official causes of death were changed to being stabbed in the back and getting a crushed skull before the train came. At this point... Victims 12 - 17: ...six local people came forward independently, each claiming to have some special knowledge about the deaths of the boys on the track. All were slain before their testimony could do any good. Police involvement is suspected in most cases, but not all: Keith Coney had been slashed in the neck and was fleeing for his life when his motorcycle slammed into the back of a truck. "A traffic fatality," police said. Gregory Collins was found shot in the face by a shotgun. Keith McKaskle was brutally stabbed at home 113 times. He knew he was doomed, and had told his friends and family goodbye. The burned body of Jeff Rhodes was found in the city dump, shot in the head and with his hands, feet, and head partly cut off. Richard Winters was killed by a man with a 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun. Jordon Ketelson died of a shotgun blast to the head and was found in the driveway of a house in Garland County. "A suicide," the sheriff said. Do you see a pattern here? All in all, after ten years of Mena operations, not one arrest was ever made [...] Victim 18: Danny Casolaro was a reporter who was investigating the connections between Mena, BCCI, Iran-Contra, Reagan's "October Surprise," Park-o-Meter Co. (which made dope-storage nose cones for the airplanes at Mena), and the ADFA (Clinton's billion-dollar state bonds racket). [...] On August 10, 1991, just as he was about to receive information linking Iran-Contra to the Inslaw scandal, Danny was found with his wrists slit in the bathtub of a hotel room in West Virginia. What a coincidence. Victim 19: Paul Wilcher, a Washington D.C. lawyer, was deeply investigating Mena and other scandals. He was scheduled for a meeting with Danny Casolaro's former attorney, but on June 22, 1993, was found dead in his apartment, sitting on his toilet. Victim 20: Ed Willey, the manager of Clinton's presidential campaign finance committee [...] supposedly shot himself on November 30, 1993. Victim 21: John A. Wilson, a [...] city councilman in Washington D.C., knew a lot about Clinton's dirty tricks. [...] on May 19, 1993, he just decided to hang himself [...] [text omitted] Footnote: I hereby serve notice that I am not depressed in the least, and that if anything happens to me, I publicly accuse Bill Clinton and his circle of power.
