- On May 15 1995, China conducted an underground nuclear test blast.
- That same day, President Clinton's newly appointed Director of Central Intelligence John Deutch (former member of President Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board in the early 1990s) announced the appointment of a new leadership group to head the agency. The new group included Nora Slatkin, James Lilley and Brent Scowcroft. By October 1995, Deutch would replace the entire top three tiers (and most of the forth tier) of CIA management with new hirees.

- Lilley was the former ambassador to China under President Bush. Scowcroft was President Bush's national security advisor.
- On May 16 1995, Attorney General Janet Reno filed a request for the appointment of an Independent Counsel (IC) to investigate the financial dealings of then Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and his self-described mistress, Nolanda Hill.
- President Clinton's ambassador to
China, Stapleton Roy, announced
on June 11, 1995 he would step down from his
position at the end of the week. Roy was
originally named ambassador to China by
President Bush (he replaced James Lilley
in mid-1991).
- French President Jacques Chirac announced on June 13, 1995 that France would resume nuclear testing in September.
- Former Secretary of State/National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger (under President Nixon) met with then Secretary of State Warren Christopher sometime in mid-June,1995. China was the focus of their discussion. Both Kissinger and his organization Kissinger Associates have numerous business interests in China.
- Former President Bush visited CIA headquarters on June 27, 1995 (just weeks after a walk-in double agent dropped off America's nuclear weapons designs at a CIA office in Taiwan). Bush was given several intelligence briefings during his 2-hour visit. This was Bush's one and only visit to CIA headquarters since 1990. Never before in American history has a former president returned to CIA headquarters for intelligence briefings.
- On June 28, 1995, President Clinton nominated Stapleton Roy to be his next ambassador to Indonesia.

- On July 14, 1995, President Clinton visited CIA headquarters. While there, he received intelligence briefings from CIA Director Deutch. Deutch, allegedly, failed to mention China's theft of all of America's nuclear weapons designs. According to a picture in the July 15 issue of the New York Times, First Lady Hillary Clinton joined the president on his visit.
- Excerpt from a July 21, 1995 White House press briefing by then Press Secretary Mike McCurry:
Q Were you able to find anything out on China and Bush?
MR. MCCURRY: I
did. I talked to the President about
that. They had a very good discussion.
When President Bush was here for the
unveiling of his portrait, the President
had -- President Clinton had a very
specific interest in talking to him
about China.
President Clinton is troubled by the current status of Sino-U.S. relations. I think he is very intent on making sure that in an honest and candid way, we address those impediments that exist in the bilateral relationship. And for that reason, he has been consulting with a number of those he considers expert on U.S.-China relations.
He met not long ago with Dr. Henry Kissinger who had just returned from a trip to China. In fact, Alexander Haig, John Whitehead, several others were part of that delegation, I believe --they were here for a visit with the President as well. He has talked to some -- additionally, to Senator Bill Bradley. He had an opportunity to talk to former Secretary (Lloyd) Bentsen recently who, as you know, has spent considerable amounts of time in China. And he specifically sought out former President Bush so he could talk about China.
They discussed Bosnia, too. The President was interested in reviewing that problem with him. But they discussed China at some length. They did not discuss any role that former President Bush might play if he indeed makes a trip to the People's Republic sometime shortly. But they did review the current status of the relationship. And President Clinton found President Bush's views helpful, very enlightening, and it was a good discussion all the way around...

- Alexander Haig, former chief of staff to President Nixon and Secretary of State to President Reagan, is a paid advisor to China's state-owned China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO).
- On September 5, 1995, France conducted a nuclear test in the South Pacific.
- On September 6, 1995, President Clinton met with Panama President Ernesto Perez Balladeres at the White House. The topic of discussion was the then planned handover of the Panama Canal. Panama eventually leased control of the canal to a Chinese company called Hutchison Whampoa. Huntchison Whampoa is owned by billionaire Li Ka-Shing. Commerce Secretary Brown met with representatives of Li in Hong Kong in October 1995.

- On September 13, 1995, President Clinton met in the Oval Office with the Lippo Group's James Riady, Hillary Clinton's former boss at the Rose Law Firm, C. Joseph Giroir, his deputy chief of staff Bruce Lindsey, and Commerce Department official John Huang. (Huang -- a suspected spy -- was employed by the Lippo Group just prior to joining the Commerce Department in 1994). During the meeting, they decided Huang should leave Ron Brown's Commerce Department and become a senior fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee.
- Commerce Secretary Ron Brown died in a plane crash en route from Bosnia to Croatia on April 2, 1996. Thirty-four others perished as well. Many of the victims were Commerce Department employees (John Huang's immediate boss at Commerce, Charles Meissner, included). Brown's body was later discovered to have a suspiciously round hole in his head. No autopsy was performed. The plane did not have a "black box". No safety investigation was performed over the accident. On January 8, 1998, Attorney General Reno rejected requests from black leaders for an Independent Counsel to investigate the matter.
- On September 21, 1995, President Clinton made a campaign stop in Long Beach, California. While there, he met with Long Beach Mayor Beverly O'Neil.
- Sometime in
September 1995,President Clinton, Leon
Panetta, and Deputy Defense Secretary
John White met in the Oval Office
and discussed plans to
transfer control of Long Beach Naval
Station to the city of Long Beach with
the full knowledge they planned on
leasing it to COSCO. The Navy had
approved the deal (the Navy was led
at the time by Navy Secretary John
Dalton and Chief of Naval Operations
Admiral Jeremy "Mike" Boorda). No national
security review was performed before the
decision. In 1996, Federal
authorities discovered an illegal cache
of 2,000 AK-47s being smuggled into the
U.S. aboard a COSCO ship.
- The
weapons were owned by China's arms
distributer Poly Technologies. Poly
Technologies was headed up by a man
named Wang Jun. Wang Jun had
coffee with President Clinton in the
White House in February 1996 and dined
with former President Bush in China during
the second week of April 1996 as well. Just days before
Clinton had coffee with Wang, he signed
a waiver allowing Poly Technologies to
ship 100,000 semi-automatic weapons to a
Detroit, Michigan company that had ties
to the Chinese military (Ron Brown met with Wang and suspected Chinese spy Charlie Trie the same day they met with Clinton. Brown and Wang previously met during the October 1995 meeting with representatives of Li Ka-Shing in Hong Kong)
- In the meantime, on May
16, 1996, Navy Admiral Jeremy "Mike"
Boorda was found outside
his Washington D.C. home with a bullet
wound in his chest. The death was
immediately ruled a suicide. It was
believed he committed suicide because he
was about to be outed by Newsweek
magazine for wearing valor medals he did
not properly earn. A June 1998
naval report proved this assumption to
be false, however.
-
Adm. Boorda's boss John Dalton served in
his post from 1993 until November 1998
(he announced his decision to leave in
June). Prior to joining the Pentagon,
Dalton was employed by Stephens
Incorporated. Stephens Inc. became
joint-owner of Little Rock's Worthen
Bank with Mochtar Riady's Lippo
Group in 1984. Mochtar's son, James
Riady, was named the bank's
director. Worthen loaned $3.5
million to the 1992 Clinton presidential
campaign. Mochtar Riady was the biggest
individual donor in the 1992 White House
run. Both the FBI and CIA have
stated they believe the Riadys to be
agents of China. Stephens Inc.
founder Jackson Stephens is a
close friend and financial supporter of
former President Bush.

Thanks. It is always good to review the trail of slime following the slug.
Trail of slime. I like that...
Good timeline,wish more were known about Adm. Boorda's suspicious death as I met and admired him and believe me someone that went from Seamen to Admiral would never do himself in.He WAS the epitomy of courage and committment!
a BTTT heads up
The source for all of this information is, of course, Monica Lewinsky, who overhead everthing from a distance of about 3 feet below the telephone......
Prob'ly nothin' to it, although several aspects are 'troubling'.
The Navy would not say if Boorda's wound was self-inflicted, and Navy Secretary John Dalton said Washington, D.C., police were investigating Boorda's death.
And they have never said,and no letter from the Admiral was put in any POD's or relayed in any way ever to sailors.
Earlier, a Pentagon source told CNN that Boorda's death was "definitely a suicide."
I do not believe this for a minute.

Try some of the posts on this thread for something on the death of Boorda.
Bookmarked.
This is very interesting and well done.
Just a few added notes: John Whitehead (no picture provided) is a former vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs and has also been a director fo BSI (Banca della Svitzera Italiano), at which Vince Foster was maintaining at least one "numbered" account. Foster, as I have reported, was under counter-intelligence surveillance at the time of his death.
Also, Ranger Oil today announced it will "go public" by merging with Calgary-based Renaissance Energy. Ranger is a sizeable Canadian integrated oil company controled 95% by Li Ka Shing or his Hutchison Whampoa, with the other 5% by CIBC. It is my experience that when companies seek a public listing by merging with another public company, it is a sleezy way to dodge full disclosure to securities regulators. This seems especially true in Ranger's case, since a stated goal of the merger and public listing is to raise new funds to finance Ranger's large oil and gas finds off Canada's east coast. If Ranger wants to bring new capital into its coffers, it should do a straight public offering, not dillute itself with a merger into an existing company.
Link marked.
Thanks for the time and effort that went into this post. Very much appreciated.
BUMP!
Thanks for the information on Whitehead. I spent some time digging around on the net and did not find very much about him...
Thanks for the time and effort that went into this post. Very much appreciated.
BUMP!
Thank-You.I went and read most of it and came back here to comment on a post I saw of bullet holes in the REAR of Adm. Boordas head.In 96 after this tragedy in the Navy military message brds were overflowing with grief and replies.One individual posted they were base security on duty in the yards that day and they reported quite anonymously but you could just tell they were for real by their wording of military terms only he would know of that day that there were bullet holes in the rear of his head and the type of gun was impossible for the arm length of the supposed reported bullet entry.Also why would any sound individual (and this man was far from nuts) do themselves in on a bench in their front yard in front of his home ?It has been said that the bodys location were witnessed by too many early on.Rumors have it the estranged from her husband at the time Mrs. Boorda is silenced with $$$$$$$$$.
All rumors within the Navy that is why I am interested in any new facts coming out.
Hackworth was one of the Newsweek reporters.Very strange,I am shocked.
BTW, there are conflicting media reports on how Boorda's body was discovered. If I get some time I will track them down. One had Boorda fleeing Pease's office in an emotional state and his driver following behind him and finding his body dead at home. Another report I read said Boorda's body was found by a neighbor...
Thanks for the heads up!!!
Your welcome. Keep spreading the word...
.........too late......sleepy.........save for tomorrow........nite nite...............
Another rumor floating around was that Boorda, and others, intended on arresting Clinton for treason, then they in turn would be arrested and placed on trial, and as a consequence Clinton's treason would be exposed at their trial.
Some of those rumored to have been involved with Boorda were Retired Admiral Engen [died in a "lite"/sailplane crash] and William Colby {the supposed canoeing accident}.
Others supposedly connected to Boorda and Colby were military honchos who went down in a crash near Alexander City, Alabama the day before the OKC bombing, and still others went down in a plane crash near Huntsville, AL; I do not have the cause of death of supposedly yet another--methinks I'm recollecting correctly in stating the name "McCloud," the commander of the military district of Alaska.

What is John Whiteheads middle name ?

Press Release: July 14, 1999
National Air and Space Museum Director Donald Engen Dies in Glider Accident
Donald D. Engen, 75, director of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, died in a motorized glider accident while vacationing in Nevada on July 13. Retired Vice Adm. Engen was flying with his friend and longtime pilot, William Ivans, when the glider crashed near Minden, Nev. He was a pilot for 57 years and had flown more than 7,500 hours in all types of aircraft, including his favorite, the glider.
Mr. Engen had served as director of the National Air and Space Museum since July 1996.
"Don has been a wonderful director," Smithsonian Secretary I. Michael Heyman said. "In only three years, Don has strengthened ties with the aviation community, brought popular exhibits to the public and been the guiding light behind the museum's new Dulles Center. He also brought great management skills to the museum and, most important, a passion for flying and space exploration. He will be sorely missed at the Smithsonian."
During his tenure at the museum, Mr. Engen renewed relationships with civil and military aviation communities and continued extensive educational programs and exhibitions, including "Star Wars: The Magic of Myth," which was the most-visited exhibit ever at the Smithsonian. Mr. Engen's legacy to the museum undoubtedly will be his work on the Dulles Center, an exhibition and restoration facility to be built at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He was involved in all aspects of the Dulles project, from hiring a fund-raising team to planning future exhibits.
In 1996, when Mr. Engen became director, the museum had about 7 million visitors. Last year, attendance was up to 10 million. What made the museum so popular with tourists during those years were new exhibitions ("Star Wars," "How Things Fly," "Business Wings" and "Space Race"), new IMAX films and many programs for families.
While Mr. Engen focused on the Dulles Center, he also supervised the complete renovation of the museum on the Mall, a project that is being done in stages, at Mr. Engen's insistence, in order to reduce the inconvenience to visitors.
Mr. Engen had a long and distinguished military career before joining the Smithsonian, serving 36 years in the Navy and fighting in three wars. He was awarded 29 Navy decorations and awards including the Navy's highest honor, the Navy Cross, for his actions in World War II as a bomber pilot. He retired from the Navy as a Vice Admiral in 1978.
After he retired from the Navy, Mr. Engen became general manager of the Piper Aircraft Corp. plant in Lakeland, Fla. His civilian public-service career took off in 1982, when President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the National Transportation Safety Board. Two years later, he was named administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, where he served until 1987. From 1987 to 1992, he was president and CEO of the Air Safety Foundation of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
Before he was appointed director, Mr. Engen held the Dewitt Ramsey Chair for Naval Aviation History at the museum.
In addition to his duties at the Air and Space Museum, he served on the Board of Directors of the Soaring Society of America, the Board of Governors and Executive Committee of the Flight Safety Foundation, and the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for the National Aeronautics Association.
Mr. Engen received many awards in his lifetime, among them the Society of Experimental Test Pilots' Doolittle Award for Technical Management (1984), the National Achievement in Aviation Award from the Aero Club of Washington (1988), and the National Aeronautics Association's Elder Statesman of Aviation.
The Soviet Union awarded him the Yuri Gagarin Gold Air and Space Medal in 1992, for his lifetime of work in aviation. And last year, the National Association of Aviation Officials awarded him their Honorary State Aviation Official award.
Mr. Engen was a graduate of George Washington University (1968) and he held a number of honorary degrees. He is survived by his wife, Mary; their four children; and seven grandchildren. Mr. Engen's family requested that donations be made in his memory to the Dulles Center.
Mr. Engen became director of the National Air and Space Museum one year after his predecessor, Martin Harwit, resigned in the aftermath of the controversy about the exhibition of the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

Released: 3 Aug 1998
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Lt. Gen. David J. McCloud, commander of Alaskan Command, and Eleventh Air Force, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, died when his private aircraft crashed July 26 at Fort Richardson, Alaska. McCloud, 53, of San Fernando, Calif., was piloting his personal YAK-54, a single-engine aerobatic aircraft, when it crashed at 3:20 p.m. EDT. A civilian passenger, Lewis Cathrow of Alexandria, Va., was also killed in the crash.
"I join all the men and women of the Air Force in mourning the tragic loss of a cherished member of our Air Force family," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael E. Ryan, said July 27. "General McCloud was an exceptional commander who made outstanding contributions to the United States Air Force and our nation."
McCloud is survived by his wife, Anne, a son, Scott D. McCloud, and a daughter, Robyn E. Springer.
"We send our most sincere condolences to Anne and the rest of his family. General McCloud will be deeply missed," Ryan said.
McCloud was born on Feb. 15, 1945. He entered the Air Force in 1969 as a distinguished graduate of officer training school. Following his commissioning as a second lieutenant, he entered pilot training at Reese AFB, Texas. Throughout his career, the general flew more than a dozen different fighters, bombers, tankers and experimental aircraft, including the F-117 Nighthawk, the B-1B Lancer and the X-29. He was a command pilot with more than 4,100 flight hours.
He commanded three wings during his career: the 24th Composite Wing, Howard AFB, Panama; the 1st Fighter Wing, Langley AFB, Va.; and the 366th Wing, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. Prior to his assignment to Alaska, he was the director for force structure, resources and assessment for the Joint Staff in the Pentagon.
As commander of Alaskan Command, one of four subunified commanders for the U.S. Pacific Command, he was the single military point of contact for more than 21,000 active-duty, guard and Reserve members.
He was tasked to conduct point training and to deploy a joint task force when directed by the commander in chief of U.S Pacific Command. He assisted the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other government agencies to provide military assistance to civil authorities during state and federal emergencies.
As commander of 11th Air Force, he was responsible for organizing, equipping and maintaining the combat readiness of two tactical fighter wings, two main operating bases, five contingency bases and 18 radar sites. As commander of Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region, he was responsible for air operations within Alaskan airspace to provide early warning and air defense against hostile attacks, with an augmented strength of more than 12,000 people and more than 140 aircraft.
He was a graduate of California State University, Northridge, and earned a master's degree from Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant. He was a graduate of Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, Air War College and National War College.

Eight Die in C-21 crash, April 17, 1995
Source: Air Force News
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Eight people were killed when an Air Force C-21 Learjet crashed into a wooded area near Alexander City, Ala., about 6:30 p.m. CST April 17.
The aircraft, assigned to the 332nd Airlift Flight, Randolph AFB, Texas, was flying from Andrews AFB, Md., to Randolph, but was diverting to Alexander City Airport, Ala. -- 35 miles northeast of Maxwell AFB, Ala. -- after experiencing an in-flight emergency.
Among the dead were Clark G. Fiester, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, and his military assistant, Col. Jack Clark II; Maj. Gen. Glenn A Profitt II, director of plans and operations, Air Education and Training Command, Randolph AFB, Texas; Maj. Hubert B. Fisher, who was assigned to the Pentagon; Capt. Paul Carey, instructor pilot; and 1st Lt. Paul M. Bowers, aircraft commander.
Also killed were retired Air Force Maj. James K. Horne; and a U.S. Army sergeant, both space available passengers. Army officials have not released the soldier's name pending notification of next of kin.
Fiester and his official party were on their way to Brooks AFB, Texas, to present an acquisition reform briefing to personnel at the Human Systems Center.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of the eight people who perished in the C-21 accident in Alabama," said Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall and Gen. Ronald R. Fogleman, Air Force chief of staff, in a joint statement. "Two of the Air Force's senior leaders were aboard the plane -- Clark G. Fiester and Maj. Gen. Glenn A. Profitt II -- and we are grateful for their contributions to our nation and those of the other passengers and crew aboard the aircraft."
As assistant secretary for acquisition, Fiester was responsible for Air Force research, development and acquisition activities. An experienced manager of electronic defense system organization, he had 38 years' experience in design and development of advanced intelligence, electronic countermeasures and imagery systems. He is survived by his wife, Christine, and their two children.
Profitt, a command pilot with more than 6,000 flying hours, began his Air Force career in 1965. He was responsible for developing and implementing operational plans, programs and policies for AETC undergraduate flying training, EURO-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training, survival training and combat crew training for fighters, airlift, tankers, and special operations crews.
Secretary of Defense William Perry, a close personal friend of Fiester and also a Penn State University alumnus, expressed his personal condolences to the families of those killed in the crash.
The C-21 has been in the Air Force inventory since 1984 and there are currently 80 aircraft in the fleet. The only other Air Force C-21 crash occurred in January 1987, also near Maxwell.
The last Air Force general officer killed in an aircraft accident was Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Harpe, 16th Air Force commander, who died in an F-16 near Torrejon AB, Spain, in December 1988.
An Air Force board has been appointed to investigate the cause of the crash. ###
I'm from a military family and I can't remember one story about a general or admiral killing himself ... ... ... other than Boorda of course. Those types of people don't kill themselves.
You have far too much time on your hands. See a shrink.
Makes sense to more anonymous posts and comments of rumor I have seen and heard over the years from more than one.It was said if 'one' wants answers to Adm. Boorda's death look into where he was on such n such date.The date was when he was C.O. of a U.S.S. during Vietnam -and- this was the time frame he was awarded the Valor.
You need to make an appointment RIGHT NOW for a shrink for coming in this room of conversation and having the time to tell him he has too much time on his hands.Seek help unless you get paid to see shrinks,if so go lay down on a couch and say you are a rude disruptor.
Ooohhh... I feek like a kid in a candy store. Thanks! :)
Colbys death was spooky enough.He ate a nice dinner with his wife and went out on a canoe and dropped dead.Some say his was less obvious (his food was poisoned?) as he was well versed and ready to break away and come clean.

There is both a Name Search and a Proximity Search. Try using both.
Thanks for the tip. I have about one hundred other names I would like to run through that thing...
You may also want to give a glance at the death of Indiana National Guard General Kenneth Himsel, also in a plane crash in Alaska, following a *visit* to see General McCloud. If the death ofd a fairly obscure National Guard leader seems too arcane to be worthy of scrutiny, consider that Himsel was the company commander of a National Guard Long-Range Reconnaisance Patrol [LRRP], Company D, 151 Infantry [Ranger] in Vietnam, the most-decorated company sized unit of the war- a fact neatly forgotten when leftys were making fun of Dan Quayle's stint with the ING.
But Ken Himsel was probably best remembered by the Guardies he commanded for two of his statements: one oft-repeated to the effect that if you observe a deficiency, whether a trooper with an unbuttoned pocket or a building on fire, and you don't take steps to correct it, you've just set a new standard. And the other, from the days when Reagan was president and rumblings that Americans had supplied Iran with military equipment, was in response to a reporter's question as to whether a senior officer's loyalty was due to the President personally or to the Constitution, and Himsel replied that if a president had defiled or violated his constitutional oath, an officer, whether lieutenant or general, had the duty and obligation to arrest the chief executive on the spot.
Unlike our current president, General Himsel was not a liar, and backed up with his actions that which came from his mouth.

No, I hear you, and don't sell his death short--as well as find it most interesting your stating his having visited McCloud.
Do you know of the military plane crash near Huntsville, AL, I mentioned previously in this thread? {I have not located a story on it.}
While certainly interesting, General Himsel's plane crash occurred less than two weeks after Clinton's first term election win, and had not taken office yet.

JOHN C. WHITEHEAD
Chairman
AEA Investors, Inc.
New York, New York
John C. Whitehead was born in Evanston, Illinois, on April 2, 1922, the son of Eugene C. and Winifred K. Whitehead. In 1924, his family moved to New Jersey, where he resided until 1985. He grew up in Montclair, attended public schools there and graduated from Montclair High School in 1939.
Mr. Whitehead graduated from Haverford College in 1943 and served in the U.S. Navy, participating in the invasions of Normandy, Southern France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. While still in the Navy, he was assigned as an instructor at the Harvard Business School. Mr. Whitehead received his M.B.A. degree, with distinction, from Harvard in 1947 and holds honorary degrees from Haverford College, Pace University, Rutgers University, Amherst College and Harvard University.
Mr. Whitehead began his professional career in 1947 at Goldman, Sachs & Co. where he remained for 38 years. He rose quickly within the company and was named Partner in 1956, and Senior Partner and Co-Chairman in 1976. During this time, Goldman Sachs became one of the world's preeminent investment banking and brokerage firms. In late 1984, Mr. Whitehead retired from Goldman Sachs as Co-Chairman and Senior Partner. He has served on the boards of numerous companies and as a Director of the New York Stock Exchange and Chairman of the Securities Industry Association.
In April, 1985, Mr. Whitehead was asked to become Deputy Secretary of State, number two to Secretary George Shultz. He was sworn into office in July, 1985, and served until January, 1989. During this period, he was Acting Secretary of State when Mr. Shultz was away from Washington and took a special interest in relations with Eastern Europe, the United Nations, and with various administrative reforms in the State Department. He was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Reagan.
Since returning from Washington in 1989, he has been active in a number of educational, civic and charitable organizations.

Muchos gracias. Interesting background. I knew he was Reagan's Dept. Sec. of State, but knew very little else. Interesting that he was called by Clinton as an "expert" on China given, on the surface at least, he has very little experience in that area...
Btw, Bush's trip to China in the second week of April 1995 was, according to CNN's web site, at the invitation of the government. He, Brent Scowcroft and the CEO of Chubb Insurance Group, Dean O'Hare, met with Jiang Zemin as well as Wang Jun. Chubb hired Bush and Scowcroft as lobbyists earlier that same year. In November 1995, Clinton's attorney in the Jones suit, Bill Bennett, announced he discovered a couple old insurance policies that allegedly covered issues related to sexual harassment charges. The policies were issued by Chubb and State Farm. They both ended up shelling out close to two million dollars to pay for Clinton's legal bills. Dean O'Hare was named to Clinton's Trade Committee in September 1998 -- after Chubb received a contract to do business in China...
Correction: Bush's trip to China in the second week of April 1996...
Here is the CNN story I mentioned. Interestingly, this story can no longer be found on CNN's web site. Someone pulled it. Luckly I saved a copy...
Bush Praises Dole's "Maturity"![[Bush and Dole]](dole.bush.jpg)
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 16) -- Eight years ago, they were rivals for the GOP nomination. Today, George Bush and Sen. Robert Dole sat down for a private meeting in Dole's office to talk about Bush's recent private mission to improve China-U.S. relations (256K WAV sound). Afterward, Bush told reporters he's concerned about U.S. leadership in the world and praised Dole (R-Kan.) for his experience and credibility (128K WAV sound). "We need (Dole's) viewpoint and his leadership, his maturity, his credibility that will help the standing of the United States," Bush told the Associated Press. Bush did not make any specific criticism of the Clinton Administration's foreign policy. Clinton is in the midst of an around-the-world trip, with stops in Korea, Japan and Russia. Bush was in Beijing last week at the invitation of the Chinese government, attempting to smooth difficult U.S.-Chinese relations. Related Story:

Interesting. But a few of the factoids are not right.
For instance, from the most recent post:
"Btw, Bush's trip to China in the second week of April 1995 was, according to CNN's web site, at the invitation of the government. He, Brent Scowcroft and the CEO of Chubb Insurance Group, Dean O'Hare, met with Jiang Zemin as well as Wang Jun. Chubb hired Bush and Scowcroft as lobbyists earlier that same year. In November 1995, Clinton's attorney in the Jones suit, Bill Bennett, announced he discovered a couple old insurance policies that allegedly covered issues related to sexual harassment charges. The policies were issued by Chubb and State Farm. They both ended up shelling out close to two million dollars to pay for Clinton's legal bills. Dean O'Hare was named to Clinton's Trade Committee in September 1998 -- after Chubb received a contract to do business in China... "
You need to provide a link that shows the former Pres Bush as having been hired by Chubb as lobbyists to China (along with Scowcroft). Maybe that's true but you need to provide backup as you have for your other assertions. (If you did and I missed it - apologies - please direct me to that citation again).
And Bill Bennett did not defend Clinton in the Paula Jones case. It was his brother. Bill Bennett wrote "The Book of Virtues" and served under Reagan. His brother, Bob is his name I believe, helped undermine all the virtues Americans hold dear by helping Clinton smear women whom Clinton assaulted.
Also in the initial paragraph is not totally accurate.
You mention Scowcroft as part of new leadership in the CIA. However, if you go to the link it says that Scowcroft was on a committee to find a Deputy Director. Meaning, Scowcroft was part of a search committee-not direct leadership of the CIA.
Finally, in the section about Kissinger traveling to China in 1995 - you failed to mention that the reason for his travel was to intercede for one Harry Wu, American citizen, who had been captured by the Communist Chinese upon Wu's travel there. Kissinger was there to "mediate" for the release of Wu.
That is not to say Kissinger is not very much pro-China. He is. But leaving out some of these facts and getting some wrong doesn't help in the presentation of your very extensive case. It is interesting though.
The information about Admiral Boorda is very significant. Another factoid is that Admiral Boorda was the father of a developmentally delayed child who was in his 30's in 1996 and who was the very apple of Admiral Boorda's life! The son continued to live as an adult with the Admiral and was just doted on by his father. This child was one that doctors early on told the father to put him in an institution and forget about him. But Boorda refused to do so, kept him, loved him, nurtured him, challenged him, and was so very proud of him!!!! But the son continued to need his father's protection and financial support.
SUCH A MAN, LOVING FATHER, WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE KILLED HIMSELF (along with the other information others have provided --- another death that demands investigation by independent top notch investigators).
One other thing you failed to post re: Admiral Boorda. He was mentioned in the Starr investigative report. Maybe you could track that mention of him down there and post that.
First let's deal with Kissinger...
According to the State Department, the U.S. learned of Harry Wu's arrest on June 23, 1995.
