In 1993, The Department of Justice, Civil Division made a secret tax exemption settlement with the Cult - the details of which are kept secret, illegally, to this day. The Department of Justice told the IRS to grant the tax preference and keep quiet. Negotiations of this deal were said to have begun in 1991 under the Bush Administration - around all the BCCI scandal. It seemed the Cult had a lot of leverage on the Government. The Culties believed that the Clinton presidential campaign was by-and-large financed illicit drug profits donated by an Arkansas businessman. Perhaps trucks made to look like Tyson Foods trucks were used to distribute cocaine in what may become one of the most shameful episodes in American History. Yesterday, Sarah McClendon (sp?) of the White House News Corps asked the following question. (I note that there has been no -- zero -- news coverage of this - the biggest story of the year: AP 7 Oct 94 16:45 EDT V0453 By The Associated Press President Clinton's news conference in the White House's East Room on Friday. [deletion] Yes, Sarah? Q: Sir, the Republicans are trying to blame you for the existence of a small airbase at Mena, Arkansas. This base was set up by George Bush and Oliver North and the CIA to help the Iran-Contras, and they brought in planeload after planeload of cocaine there for sale in the United States, and then they took the money and bought weapons and took them back to the Contras, all of which was illegal as you know under the Boland Act. But tell me, did they tell you that this had to be in existence because of national security? A: Well, let me answer the question. No, they didn't tell me anything about it. They didn't say anything to me about it. The airport in question, and all the events in question, were the subject of state and federal inquiries. It was primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it. the local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was within the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United State's attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing -- zero -- to do with it, and everybody who's ever looked into it knows that. [deletion]
