Red General and the First Lady

Chinese General Xiong Guangkai is in Washington, D.C., this week. The mainstream media will portray Gen. Xiong's mission to Washington as a benevolent visit. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.

Gen. Xiong is here to re-establish the "military-to-military" relationship between the United States and China, tainted after the downing and capture of the U.S. Navy EP-3 surveillance airplane.

Gen. Xiong is well known inside Beijing party circles for being a friend of the people. In 1989, Gen. Xiong ran the "Er Bu" or "Second Department" of the Chinese army intelligence.

Xiong's secret police identified and targeted student leaders in the massacre at Tiananmen Square. Xiong's agents planted weapons on the bodies of students as his snipers and tank troops surged forward in an orgy of murder.

Gen. Xiong earned a promotion for his work at Tiananmen Square. Gen. Xiong is currently the No. 2 commander in the People's Liberation Army and head of Chinese military intelligence.

Xiong's best-known public comment was a thinly veiled threat to vaporize Los Angeles. However, one of Gen. Xiong's more recent public statements is on North Korea. According to Xiong, the relationship between communist China and North Korea is like "lips and teeth."

North Korea recently admitted that it has violated agreements with the U.S. and it is currently developing a nuclear bomb. The fanatical North Koreans had some help from Xiong.

Chinese nuclear weapon and missile technology export control is directly under the command of the Chinese Army General Staff, including Gen. Xiong. The State Department accused China of shipping nuclear warhead and missile technology to North Korea.

In addition, Gen. Xiong is also responsible for the successful effort to funnel illegal campaign contributions to the Clinton-Gore re-election effort in 1996. Xiong has been inside the White House before, at least by proxy, through direct payments from the Chinese army to Bill Clinton.

In 1996, Gen. Xiong sent his second in command, Gen. Ji, to meet with Johnny Chung in the basement of a Hong Kong restaurant. At the same time, Johnny's daughter and a teen-age friend were inside communist China.

"We like your president," Gen. Ji told Chung before passing a check for $300,000 across the table. "We want him re-elected."

Johnny Chung was certainly in no position to disagree with Gen. Ji. Some of the $300,000 in red army money made it to Clinton and Gore through the Democratic National Committee.

Johnny Chung pleaded guilty and currently cites his bank account record as proof that Chinese army money was passed to the Clinton-Gore campaign. Janet Reno, however, did not pursue the evidence against Xiong.

Another of Gen. Xiong's field agents, Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying, actually made it inside the Clinton White House. On one such occasion, according to Johnny Chung, Col. Liu bragged of others who funneled Chinese army money into the Clinton-Gore campaign.

For example, Sen. Hillary Clinton never answered the accusations that she assisted PLA Gen. Xiong in funneling money into the DNC. Instead, the senator from New York has remained silent about the hard, cold cash passed in brown paper bags through her White House office by Johnny Chung.

Mrs. Clinton did recently urge the Bush administration to act against the threat of man-portable missiles against airliners. In a personal letter addressed to Tom Ridge, Mrs. Clinton urged the Bush administration to "develop an action plan as soon as possible to address the potential threat to U.S. airliners by shoulder-fired missiles."

"We need to ensure that we are taking every possible step to keep our air travelers safe," wrote Clinton.

Ironically, in 1996 then-first lady Clinton said nothing when Chinese agents offered to sell the same type of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles to drug dealers inside the United States. Perhaps that was because her hubby had recently met with the CEO of the same Chinese company that made the illegal missile offer.

In 1996, Norinco and Chinese-army-owned Poly technologies Corporation were both accused of attempting to sell a wide variety of advanced weapons to U.S. drug dealers, including surface-to-air missiles and machine guns.

Allegedly, Poly Tech's man in America, Robert Ma, conspired with Norinco representative Richard Chen to import 2,000 fully automatic AK-47s into the United States to customs agents posing as Miami drug smugglers. Lu Yi Lun, described in court documents as Norinco's No. 2 official, was also charged in the case.

U.S. investigators say arms broker Hammond Ku, a key figure in the case, told undercover U.S. agents three times that China's government knew what was happening. The Customs officials added that the Chinese apparently believed the automatic rifles were going to U.S. street gangs.

According to the 100-page federal indictment from one of the key undercover agents, Chen and Ma had difficulty in getting the machine gun "barrels" because they required "higher-level permission."

Clearly, that permission had to come from then head of the Chinese army intelligence, Gen. Xiong. The fact is that Gen. Xiong and his buddies at PLA headquarters not only control Poly Technologies but they also own Poly Technologies.

More importantly, U.S. investigators also said Chinese company representatives tried to sell undercover U.S. agents "rocket launchers, anti-aircraft missiles, machine guns and even tanks."

In August 1996, the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) ship Princess Bride was caught in an attempt to smuggling over 2,000 machine guns into the United States.

According to Customs officials, the bust was nearly foiled by a leak from inside the Clinton administration to COSCO, forcing the agents to move early on the Princess Bride while it was still docked in Los Angeles harbor.

"Poly's U.S. subsidiaries were abruptly closed in August 1996. Allegedly, Poly's representative, Robert Ma, conspired with China North Industries Corporation's (NORINCO) representative, Richard Chen, and a number of businessmen in California to illegally import 2000 AK-47s into the United States," states a 1997 Rand Corporation report.

All those charged by the Reno Justice Department were released pending a trial. All of those released, including Ma and Chen, fled to China and have never faced a U.S. jury. The Clinton administration never pursued the alleged criminals nor sought extradition from the PRC. Again, Janet Reno refused to pursue the evidence.

Of course, the fact remains that President Clinton met with the Wang Jun, the CEO of Poly Technologies in February 1996, prior to the arms bust by U.S. Customs agents. Clinton's close Arkansas friend Charlie Trie brought Wang to the White House.

Bill Clinton also took a $50,000 donation from Charlie "Yah Lin" Trie at that same meeting. Clinton, Trie and Wang then shared coffee inside the White House. None of the three ever explained where the $50,000 came from.

The double irony here is that not only is Poly Technologies owned by the Chinese army, but it also supplied hundreds of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles to Osama bin Laden.

Gen. Xiong and his fellow PLA officers played a key role in arming al-Qaeda with SA-7 surface-to-air missiles. Hundreds of the Chinese-made missiles were discovered in abandoned al-Qaeda caves during the Afghan war.

The same SA-7 missiles were recently fired at the Israeli airliner in Kenya. The same missiles cited by Sen. Clinton in her urgent letter to Tom Ridge. Once again, none of these advanced weapons could have been exported without direct permission from Beijing and Gen. Xiong.

Perhaps the best "action" plan for the Bush Administration is to tackle the source of advanced weapons sold to Osama bin Laden. The Bush administration should ban all Chinese army companies from doing business in the United States and seek a total ban against any military contacts with those responsible for arming al-Qaeda.

Today, Gen. Xiong is quietly touring a cold U.S. capitol and Pentagon, seeking to sucker the Bush administration into assisting the Chinese war machine. Perhaps he should stop and visit Sen. Clinton before he leaves town. After all, she did take his money.

The truth about Gen. Xiong's visit to America is a cold lesson of missile-armed terrorists, nuclear weapons and money politics.

Chinese warlord visits Washington, D.C.

Chinese Gen. Xiong Guangkai is in Washington, D.C., this week. The mainstream media portray Xiong's mission to Washington as a benevolent visit, filled with peace and flowers. Xiong is here to re-establish the "military-to-military" relationship between the United States and China.

Gen. Xiong is currently the No. 2 commander in the People's Liberation Army and head of Chinese military intelligence. Xiong is responsible for the successful effort to funnel illegal campaign contributions to the Clinton-Gore re-election effort in 1996. Xiong has been inside the Clinton White House before, at least by proxy, through direct payments from the Chinese army to Bill Clinton.

In 1996, Xiong sent his second in command, Gen. Ji, to meet with Johnny Chung in the basement of a Hong Kong restaurant. At the same time, Johnny's daughter and a teen-age friend were inside communist China.

"We like your president," Ji told Chung before passing a check for $300,000 across the table. "We want him re-elected."

Chung was certainly in no position to disagree with Ji. Some of the $300,000 in red army money made it to Clinton and Gore through the Democratic National Committee.

Chung pled guilty and currently cites his bank-account record as proof that Chinese army money was passed to the Clinton-Gore campaign. Janet Reno, however, has not seen fit to release Chung's records.

Another of Xiong's field agents, Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying, actually made it inside the Clinton White House. On one such occasion, according to Johnny Chung, Liu bragged of others who funneled Chinese army money into the Clinton-Gore campaign.

Yet, Xiong, who is the intelligence commander of the Chinese army, has also made certain other statements to the open press. One of the most infamous was his thinly veiled threat to launch a nuclear strike against Los Angles during the 1996 Taiwan crisis. Unlike Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden, who frequently threaten America, Xiong has the capability to destroy the west coast of America.

During Xiong's tenure, Chinese armed forces have deployed three new major nuclear missile systems and six new tactical nuclear weapon systems. These weapons are aimed at the United States and our allies in Asia such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. Many of the warhead designs were stolen from the United States by Xiong's agents inside our nuclear weapons labs.

Xiong's detailed intelligence operations include a Taiwanese Air Force base. The Chinese army recently completed construction of a duplicate of Taiwan's largest airbase in detail. A French SPOT Satellite image of the duplicate base is published in the book "Red Dragon Rising," by William Triplett and Edward Timperlake. The Chinese army is currently training airborne and special forces units at this duplicate base, which is located in the western desert of China.

John Huang is alleged to have also worked for Xiong. Huang, according to Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch, never denied he worked for Chinese army intelligence. Instead, Huang took the Fifth -- more than two thousand times. Thanks to Larry Klayman, we now know that John Huang was also privy to detailed information about the U.S. Army Patriot anti-missile system. In 1994, Huang was invited by Raytheon to help sell Patriot missiles to South Korea.

One of Xiong's more recent public statements is on North Korea. According to Xiong, the relationship between communist China and North Korea is like "lips and teeth." North Korea recently tested the Tae Po Dong missile by firing it over Japan and landing the simulated warhead just off the coast of Alaska. However, it appears now that the fanatical North Koreans had some help from Xiong.

The State Department recently accused China of shipping nuclear warhead and missile technology to North Korea. Nuclear weapon and missile technology export is directly under the command of the Chinese army General Staff, including Xiong.

Xiong is also well known inside Beijing party circles for being a "friend of the people." In 1989, Xiong ran the "Er Bu" or Second Department of the Chinese army intelligence. Xiong's secret police identified and targeted student leaders in the massacre at Tiananmen Square. Xiong's agents planted weapons on the bodies of students as his snipers and tank troops surged forward in a killing spree of historic proportions.

Xiong earned a promotion with his work at Tiananmen. He is now in charge of all military-to-military operations with America. In 1999, Xiong sent his troops from the Chinese army air force to visit Edwards Air Force Base in California. The visits, according to Clinton administration documents, were part of a civilian air traffic control (ATC) program.

The so-called civilian program was clearly a false front. The Clinton White House deliberately maintained that the visiting Chinese were civilians and marked the air traffic program as unclassified. In reality, Chinese air force officers attended classes given by the U.S. Air Force on combat readiness that included simulated F-16 training missions and bombing and strafing operations.

Many of the training sessions included Chinese army air force officers traveling under civilian guise, listing themselves on official documents as "Mr." At one point, an anonymous Federal Aviation Administration official marked "Deputy Chief of General Staff, PLA" next to a "Mr. Kui Fulin," and "Lt. General, PLAF" next to "Mr. Li Yongtai" on the China Air Traffic Control Survey Delegation list.

The true military nature of the so-called civilian program is clearly marked as training for "combat" in the documentation. The Chinese army air force is badly in need of air traffic control. It cannot win a war without precise military control of combat aircraft in the Taiwan Straits. Only America can offer the computers, the radars and the training necessary to win such a war.

Xiong's victory at Edwards Air Force Base is but one of many. Xiong has outmaneuvered the U.S. Army intelligence in Panama, the U.S. Navy intelligence at Tarawa and has acquired a brand new satellite spy base in Brazil. The general certainly deserved his promotion to second in command of the Chinese army. His string of victories against America is almost an unbroken record of espionage, money and violence.

Today, Xiong is quietly touring a cold U.S. capitol and Pentagon, cool to another Clinton effort to restart training for the Chinese war machine. The truth about Xiong's visit to America is also a cold lesson of nuclear tipped missiles and money politics. After all the White House spin, Xiong is nothing more than a ruthless Chinese warlord seeking service from paid employees.

Charlie Trie was seated on the Bingaman Commission to Beijing after over $400,000 in dirty contributions to the Presidential Legal Expense Trust (PLET).

Senator Jeff Bingaman fought the release of a letter he'd supposedly written protesting his friend Clinton's pressure to seat Trie.

Burton's counsels described Trie's dance outside the courtroom where he'd been acquitted in a conference call.

Anne Bingaman was paid two million for six months of lobbying the FCC on behalf of Global Crossing.

Terry McAuliffe made eighteen million on sale of GC stock before it crashed.

It was picked up for a song by Li Ka-shing of Hutchison Whampoa.

Now our commercial and military communications are compromised by ChiCom ownership of the fiber optics.

And they own our canal.

Thanks to Comrades Hillary!, traitorrapist42, and Armand Gore.

And as for the shoulder-fired missiles--TWA Flight 800 in 1996 would have been a sales demo.

At a time when Ron Brown was killed, and Wang Jun was having coffee with tr42.

Perhaps Gore was discussing the ChiCom attack on Taiwan when we move on Baghdad.

The PRC was arming al Qaeda/Taliban contemporaneous with 9/11; and has been supplying Iraq with fiber optics for air defense radars.

Its lips and teeth with more than just North Korea.

The Axis of Evil flanks the Anus of Evil: Beijing.
