THE FIVE RULES
September 2, 1998
1. I shall never forget that, I the People, I am
the government of my country.
2. The Senators and House Members which form the Congress
are my representatives, I elected them to represent me, but not
to pursue their own agenda or an agenda their party imposed on them.
I elected them to be my faithful servants, and I shall closely
monitor the quality of tasks they are doing for me, their boss.
3. I shall remind them by writing to them
or calling them that I am approving or disapproving of the way they
represent me on matters that are important to me.
4. I shall read and understand the Constitution
of the United States including the Bill of Rights and I shall
teach and explain to my family and children the wealth and beauty
of this constitution and of Democracy.
5. I shall vote. Moreover I shall put voting as one
of my top priorities in life. If I vote I am the boss of my government;
I help lead the country towards the direction I think beneficial
for me and my country. If I dont vote I am of no help to my
country.
Moreover, I am a parasite waiting for the other citizens to do the
work to shape the country so that I can enjoy a democracy, without
ever adding my contribution to the process.

WHAT IS A POLL?
What is the opinion of the American people about their President,
Bill Clintons problemas an example? What do they think?
In a democracy the first concern of the House of Representatives
and the Senate is to try absolutely to understand, seek and learn
what are the feelings and thoughts of the American citizens.
You could think it is a difficult process but its actually
a very easy process, it is called polls.
And althoughmost politician dismisse the polls, it is the opinions
and the wishes of the American people that are represented by the
polls.
What are the polls or what is a poll? We have to define
that very quickly.
Well, as now everybody knows, the poll is the reflection of the
opinion and feelings of the American citizen. Companies specialized
in this research call all over the country, a certain number of
people, ranging from 1000 to 10,000 and ask them a few questions
about their opinion and the people answer, it is a sample of the
opinion of the American people. This system has been in place for
a long time already and it is well organized, relatively independent
and the American citizens are chosen at random.
If youre a cautious politician, you might decide to wait until
three or four polls on the same subject are published because this
process will involve different companies doing this poll, different
samples of American citizens, then you are certain that you have
a good picture of the ideas and feelings of the American citizens.
So, what did or do the polls tell us on the subject of the American
President, Bill Clinton ? They reflected the opinions of the American
people, the American citizen, what is the opinion of the American
citizen?
It is very simple, they, in a large majority around 66 to 68%, which
is a very large majority in a democracy, on a subject that has been
shown in great detail, with some unpleasant details, they are truly,
absolutely, in favor of President Clinton. They like President Clinton,
they like the job he is doing, they admire him and they dont
want him to be impeached and polls show too that they disapprove
of the Republican Party ambushing the President. So that is the
voice of America. Their representatives, the people who are suppose
to serve them are sneering at polls and insulting the common sense
and intelligence of American people. They dismissed the poll, they
simply did not want to face the truth.They did not want to listen
to the American people, instead they wanted to favored their own
agenda in opposition to the opinion of the American people The truth
is, the American people wanted in their Democratic majority to keep
Bill Clinton as a president because they admired the job he was
doing. So, in Congress, Bill Clintons opponent, the Republican
Party is rising to a level of bad faith that is not achieved often
in this country, the last sample was the MacCarthy era. The leaders
of the Republican Party simply denied, sneer at, and were full of
contempt for the American peoples desires, wishes, feelings and
ideas, even though they have been elected to serve and represent
the American people.
It is an enormous distortion of democracy, because they are
betraying the spirit of their office, which is to serve the American
people, and the American people with their common sense and intelligence
and education understand that very well.

THE DECLINE OF
THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS
If we consider the American middle class as the most important segment
of the American society, as much as 70% at some periods, we should
consider that its the people from the middle class who shaped
the United States of America. The American society today is mainly
composed of three segments:
The rich and powerful, not very important in numbers
but owning a good part of the American wealth.
The middle class, which in the United States has a
broad definition and includes everybody that is not very rich or
very poor and for example; ranges from blue collar workers with
a decent hourly wage to a doctor or dentist in general practice.
The poor, which in 1998 are still counted by the millions
in the United States.
On the surface, the today middle class seems to be successful, many
people own their house, buy new expensive cars, have all the latest
home equipment like TVs, stereos and computers. However, a
rotten behavior is taking place all over the country: I want to
speak about the pathetic forms of education kids are getting today.
Of course, everybody understands that todays kids are tomorrows
adults, voters, workers, senators, etc.
Due to multiple factors; such as two parents working, easy money,
dumb TV programs, parents who are the offspring's of the baby-boomers
and, as a whole, never experienced real hardship, poor quality schools,
lack of well trained teachers, poor parental training, and so on,
none of these elements being good incentives to become a successful
individual, a decent human being and a responsible citizen,
USA future as a strong democracy is bleak.
If for a moment we look back at the middle class when the United
States were founded, the incentives to become a successful individual,
a decent human being and a responsible citizen were tremendous.
During the last two centuries there was always a cause to outdo
oneself; the conquest of independence, the opening of new territories
to reach a new frontier, the Civil War, the Womens Right to
Vote, the poor immigrants desire to see themselves and their sons
and daughters succeed, the two World Wars against Nazis
evil and for freedom and democracy. The drive to get rid of the
Great Depression. All these gigantic incentives have disappeared
and the last survivors of World War II are the remnants of the last
breed who faced the last important challenge that confronted the
United States of America.(Not like the Korean war or the Vietnam
war which despite the remarkable behavior of the American soldiers,were
lacking the support of the nation).
The baby-boomers and their sons and daughters do not
have any challenge of national scope to overcome or any worthy and
ethical cause to fight for, any extremely harsh environment to overcome,
their main challenge is to find a better credit to buy a four wheel
sport utility vehicle or the best sale bargain, to buy the latest
CD player. These kinds of incentive do not build a courageous and
ethical nation.
In the meantime it seems that the last real
striking words about democracy were delivered by the President of
the United States, John F. Kennedy; "Do not ask what your country
can do for you but what you can do for your country."

IS THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES FACING THE LAW
TREATED AS
ANY OTHER CITIZEN?
August 3, 1998
Is the President of the United States facing the law treated as
any other citizen?
During the Lewinsky case
there were concerns that the President of the United States would
not be treated as any other citizen because of the power of the
office he holds. Most people thought that he should not receive
any favorable treatment facing the courts because he is the president
of the United States.
Indeed, with a prosecutor like Kenneth Starr, who does not exercise
any common sense or any sense of perspective, President Clinton
has been pursued with a vengeance by Kenneth Starr as if he was
a dangerous drug dealer or serial killer. It is interesting to
understand that the system of independent counsel and the grand
jury is anti-constitutional in the sense that it does not respect
the spirit of the constitution.
In fact, the independent counsel has so much power that it influences
his grand jury, which he guides step by step and so much so without
any counter argument from the defendants lawyers. He can also
more than debrief the defendant on a face to face encounter, he
can pressure her or him and pressure them into lying which
he had tried to do with Susan Mac Dougall, Web Hubble, and succeeded
with John Mac Dougall, it is why the members of the grand jury are
Kenneth Starrs henchmen. Kenneth Starr in collecting the evidence
is a prosecutor, being able to influence so much without a counter
power, the members of the grand jury that he becomes a judge who
is the decision maker. A popular saying says it all; The prosecutor
of the Grand Jury is so powerful that he can prosecute and have
even the most insignificant thing indicted; even a ham sandwich.
So, we have a situation that the Father Founders of the United States
of America had hoped to overcome. They wanted so bad to avoid exactly
what was the case in the kingdoms and tyrannies where the Kings
prosecutor was over-powerful and trials were a masquerade. This
very behavior of an over-powerful Kings administration member
is exactly why the American people revolted against the English
King and founded the United States of America. Thanks to Kenneth
Starr we have the same situation again, 200 years after the establishment
of the United States as a democracy.
Thanks to Kenneth Starrs obtuse and narrow mind, whos
lack of perspective showed all the dangers of the independent counsel
system, we will see without any doubt lawmakers changing the system.
Unfortunately, President Clinton and the United States of America
will pay the price for the combination of a very obtuse independent
counsel and of an anti-constitutional system.
Whats more, an average citizen will not have been prosecuted
as harshly as President Clinton was. There is almost no example
of a case where a prosecutor prosecuting on such a private matter
as sexual relations prosecuted a defendant to the full extent of
the law, specifically in the case of a person denying having consensual
sex with another person (no other crime or felony or misdemeanor
being part of the case prior to the prosecution). It is a proof
that Kenneth Starr does not give President Clinton a fair treatment.
On another level, President Clinton does not have as many choices
as an average citizen. Due to political pressure he can not invoke
the Fifth Amendment and legally refuse to testify. So, we have a
situation where the damages to the only strong but benevolent democracy
in the world are going to be devastating.
It is excessively important to remind the citizens of the United
States that the trade-off that they experience by living in a democracy
is that on one hand they can express their opinion and decide how
they want to be governed and who should govern them, on the other
hand the system has a weakness that no tyranny has: It is that the
President of the United States facing all the dictators in the world
is a very weak man, if its own peers; senators, congressmen instead
of supporting him as the people of the United States are doing,
try by supporting a completely out of check independent counsel,
to destroy the office of the President of the United States and
their own country. It is a very dangerous situation, full of consequences
for the future.
It is of no small importance to look into history and to research
what was the course of the downfall of the previous democracy. Ancient
Greece was the first democracy and attained especially with Athens
the large city state a remarkable level in politic, military, artistic
business and influenced the whole western world. Its achievements
felt today more than 2,000 years after its disappearance. The reasons
of the downfall are very simple; Greece was at its time in comparison
as real and powerful as the United States of America. Factions began
to fight each other, the unity was lost. Inside Athens, quarrels
began to arise all over Greece. Unity was lost.
A Greek King Phillippe of Macedonia seized the opportunity and conquered
all democratic Greece replacing it by a kingdom which his son, Alexander
the Great expanded over half of the civilized world. None-the-less,
the structure of democracy which is not the government of one exceptional
man but the government of the people, by the people, was lost. After
Alexander the Great domination, in a relatively short period Greece
was conquered by the Romans and never became again a nation of some
importance.
As a very rich and powerful nation the United States of America
and its citizens seem to accept that mud slinging in an attempt
to destroy the presidency of the United State of America is an acceptable
sport and good television entertainment, but it is the very first
sign of a downfall even if it is not so obvious today.

THE
IMPOVERISHED REPUBLICAN PARTY
August 8, 1998
To make things clear we are not going to talk about money. We are
going to underline how poor in men and leaders of quality, the Republican
Party is, which also induced a lack of ideas and what are the consequences
for democracy and for the United States of America. First; how do
you assess that there is a lack of quality men and leaders in a
party? You look for the signs, and the signs are the following.
Look for pettiness, small mind, cheapness, revengefulness, unethical
behavior, and mud slinging.
We have seen all of these behaviors or some of these behaviors characterizing
the leaders of the Republican Party. Chairman of the House of the
Judiciary Committee, Senator Orin, Mr. Trentlok, Mr. Newt Gingrich,
and almost each and every important person in the Republican Party.
But lets focus on mud slinging and revengefulness. There is
no other explanation that the older Senators and Assemblymen wanting
to avenge President Nixons Watergate, when he had to resign
to avoid impeachment after his criminal activities became public.
I am talking about President Nixon sending agents in a covert operation,
to wire the Democratic Headquarters and covering up other black
operations, that is criminal behavior of significant magnitude.
We are not talking about Clintons sexual behavior, his private
life.
One of the consequences
of petty men is that they dont have grand ideas for the country.
The consequence is that they can only come up with dirty mud slinging,
which actually reveals their lack of quality as men.
AUTHOR' COMMENT
A working DEMOCRACY absolutely
needs two party, preferably
balanced, with men of Ideas on both sides. It is vital for Democracy
today in the USA that men of better quality replaces the ones actually
in power in the Republican party.

NAZY
& COMMUNIST EMPIRE
June 23, 1998
Almost everybody living in todays world especially in the
United States is unaware that the world, and especially what is
called the western world could be very different today. It could
be composed mostly of nations or empires that could be absolute
tyrannies.
Just mentioning in passing some of the remaining totalitarian communist
state that are still existing today, Cuba and North Korea. A major
country which is still a totalitarian state is China with its
atrocities in Tien Amen Square and against Tibet, to name just a
few. There is absolutely no democracy in China but there is some
feeble hopes that they are going in the direction of opening to
democratic ideas.
Very recently, no longer
than ten years ago, hundreds of millions of people were living in
a huge prison camp with walls and barbed wire around it to prevent
the inmates to fulfill there dearest wish to evade these tyrannical
regimes and live free. This empire was called the USSR and its
satellite nations, East Germany, Hungry, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia
, Romania, Poland and so on. (It is the United States constant action
for democracy that brought down this empire).
But if the American nation can claim another very important tribute
to democracy it is in the defeat of Hitlers Nazi, regime
the Third Reich. Without American help there is no doubt that countries
like France, Spain, Italy, and England would be even today part
of a totalitarian empire., can we think how sad and
unsecured it could be for Americans and young Americans to be surrounded
on the planet by totally non-democratic aggressive empire such as
the Nazi, Third Reich in western Europe, the communist USSR in eastern
Europe and the communist Chinese empire in Asia and the Japan fascist
in eastern Asia.
Although these totalitarian empires will not probably today be exactly
the same as they were shaping up in the 1940s. (Some of these
empires would have probably taken over part of the other empires)
the result could be the same. Today we could be living on a planet
dominated by totalitarian empires with only one democracy,
the USA or even without any.
Without American soldiers giving their lives in the last World War
we would have had a very isolated democracy; the United States isolated
among a combination of empires I cited before. That should lead
people to think twice before they trample the ideals and the leaders
of democracy. There is only one idea and philosophy that did
not deceive its believers, it is Democracy. All the other forms
of government, with their totalitarian philosophies led to gigantic
bloodshed.

FORCES
AGAINST DEMOCRACY/SENATOR McCarthy
The concept of democracy which is a form of government, government
of the people, by the people is so rich that it could bring an enormous
wealth that is not clearly understood by 99% of the people. The
general advantages of democracy are very well known but their implications
are not. The general advantages are freedom of speech, fair treatment
of everybody facing the law. Their ideas and the way they want to
be governed is their own if democracy is well applied, if the concept
of democracy is correctly applied in a government then the consequences
are the following:
The most important is the ability, the possibility for an individual
to develop his own personality to the fullest extent of his talent.
If democracy is fully applied there should be no barrier, no fear
to try to become the better person he or she could and the consequences
are an enormous wealth for the country, all its citizens achieving
a high level of knowledge,freedom and development, instead of a
few aristocrats achieving a high level of freedom and knowledge.
Hundreds of millions of people will achieve a high level of freedom
and knowledge thus, making this nation the most powerful intellectually,
economically country in the world. As well as an extremely high
level of health due to a high level in medicine and this will generate
top athletes that will be champions in almost every discipline in
sports.
Its now interesting to go into some examples of what can prevent
an individual to develop his potential to the fullest extent. We
will try to use a well known example. What is the most powerful
force that prevents somebody to develop himself? It is fear.
For example; during the McCarthy years, an era which was in the
years when Eisenhower was president and the senator McCarthy launched
a witch hunt against communism.
Communism - at the time the witch hunt began after the war or during
the second phase of the war their was a small force inside the USA
but a genuine concern for the American people because of all the
powerful communist countries like Russia and China through threats
and outside menaces for the USA. Anybody that had said something
that was a little bit liberal was stamped as a communist. You could
nott speak of liberal ideas so the freedom of speech was completely
destroyed and that should nott have happened because it is
the basis, one of the basis of the American Democracy.
Lets assume you
are a writer( not in politics) and you want to write about Greece,
ancient Greece, they had very liberal ideas you would have to censure
yourself, correct yourself, put the lid on your ideas, even writing
about something that happened thousands years ago. If you did nott
want to be accused by the McCarthy inquiry, you could not tell the
truth about Greece, you could not develop your ideas, the people
that will read your book will not understand how important democracy
is because democracy was born in Greece, so you will become a dishonest
writer, liar, and your book will be totally insignificant, you will
completely miss the goal of becoming a great writer, adding to your
country one person that was an honest talented writer.
The witch hunt was even
more aggressive in the movie industry where everyone was stamped
as liberal in McCarthys eyes. Liberal and communism were perfect
synonyms. An example: One of the most talented screen writers was
Dalton Trumbo and he was black listed because of his communist sympathy
and he couldnt write for the studios again. His life was broken,
another loss for the Untied States of America.
Fortunately, a man that
is not very well known for this kind ethical achievement deserves
an enormous credit. Kirk Douglas who employed Dalton Trumbo, under
his own name to write the script for a major movie. All Kirks
friends were worried, not worried but scared about this enormous
act of courage, to break the black list, even years after McCarthy
had disappeared. Then Dalton Tremble came with a wonderful script,
without Kirk Douglas the loss was going to be very important.
As our examples show
forces against DEMOCRACY are always and constantly at work within
the USA itself and awareness of this fact must be a constant concern
for a citizen.

PRESIDENT
NIXON RESIGNATION
On the eve of President Nixon reelection in 1972, it was discovered
that the headquarter of the Democratic party , this party was President
Nixon Republican partys opponent has been burglarized by people
seemingly loosely linked to the White House .
After the election there
were more inquiries on the Burglary that happened in the Watergate
building . The inquiries kept revealing more and more involvement
of President Nixon Top aides and they had to resigned or be convicted.
Proof that President
Nixon was involved from the beginning came from audiotapes
recording conversation in the white house.
Transcripts of these
tapes demonstrated beyond all doubts that President Nixon
had known of the burglars connections to the white house
and had acted to limit the F.B.I. investigations.
Even the President s
strongest supporters refused to defend him.
The American people
had complete proof of their President having misused the law
in the practice of his Governmental duties ,acting like a dictator
using governmentally employees and resources to advance his own
political and governmental agenda.
At this point in time, The American people and the congress in a
by partisan vote were willing to convict President Nixon throughout
the impeachment process. The charges were well defined ,clear, and
were all relevant to misused of presidential power.
IT WAS A PERFECT REPRESENTATION
OF WHY THE FOUNDING FATHERS HAD WRITTEN THESE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENTS
IN THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Facing impeachment and
removal from office, President Nixon resigned.
AUTHOR COMMENTS
But what is interesting is that after president Nixon resigned and
more of his actions while in power were revealed , the Congress
started to pass laws to correct the excess of power the presidency
had shown under President Nixons Imperial Presidency.
As we can see now
from an ugly crisis , Democracy in the United states of America
won and even developed better laws

THE ISSUE
OF THE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS
CONFIDENTIALITY
PRIVILEGE
May 29, 1998
We are starting from
the very biased case raised by the Independent Counsel, Kenneth
Starr about secret service agents having witnessed an alleged promiscuous
conduct of President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
But as of today, May 29, 1998, the judge, Norma Holloway Johnson,
in charge of the Washington Grand Jury, appointed by Kenneth Starr
ruled that confidentiality privilege did not apply in the relation
between the President and the Secret agent, and that the Secret
Agent in charge of protecting the Presidents life must be
forced to testify against the President.
Simple, common sense,
a sense of honesty, have naturally prevented for the last two centuries
any inquisitor to force secret agents or bodyguards to testify
against the very person whos life they have to protect.
What Mr. Kenneth Starr does not understand at all, because he is
an average, by the book, mediocre man and is the perfect candidate
to be manipulated is that he is not prosecuting a serial killer,
he is prosecuting the president of the U,SA, who does not have
any criminal record.
It has been the consensus that the presidency should not be attacked
and diminished on trivial matters, so no laws or sets of rules were
passed by the Congress.
In this vacuum of legislation when you enter such an important field
for each and every American in the United States , any decent person
will come to this conclusion; lets pass a set of laws that
define more precisely, privileges necessary to keep the President
alive and the country afloat. In the meantime, as it is obvious
that this area needs some legislative work, lets use common
sense and the sense of honor and patriotic vision to inquire the
alleged conduct of the President.
As it should be, the President should not be above the law, but
because of such a high level, the law was not written and no set
of rules was passed by the Congress to define with precision. how
to inquire the President, but protect at the same time his life.
The President is today subject to a witch hunt that could eventually
put his life in danger. This pathetic accomplishment is the despicable
action of the overwhelmingly, short sighted and manipulated and
manipulative Kenneth Starr.
For example, the United States of America is, without any doubt,
the number one power in the world, and the leading country in international
affairs. One of the most important roles for the President of the
United States is to defuse tension between countries or ethnic groups
and protect as much as he can the balance of peace in the world.
For that the President needs absolutely to build good relationships
with leaders of other countries. Anybody, not only the President,
needs moments of intimacy to build very good relationships with
another person.
It is the instant when the other person, trusting you ,lowers his
or her guard to communicate deeper with you when you become his
or her friend. Such occasions dont happen on business discussions,
work related matters, for you and me, international affairs for
the President of the United States. This precious moment of intimacy
occur when you, me, or the President talks about family, sports,
personal concerns, funny jokes, common matters such as buying your
first, very own and reliable used car, or having, when you were
young, a barber who was going with a vengeance, after your hair
instead of trimming it slightly. Such moments of intimacy are rare
in meetings with leaders. The President should be able to know that
secret agents will not tell of these semi-confidences to a world
leader which purpose was to build a close relationship.
Furthermore, world leaders, in the face of bloody terrorism and
nuclear threats have to compose secret strategies to counteract
these threats, and Ive already expressed that they couldnt
trust United State protection by secret service agents not sworn
to absolute secrecy. If the ruling of the judge, Ms.Norma Hollaway
Johnson is not overthrown by the Appeals Court then the following
scenario is guaranteed to occur.
If there is even a slight bridge in the sacred mission that the
men and women of the Secret Service carry with values such as honor,
courage, (values totally absent of Kenneth Starrs conduct)
then you are going to see two different things happen:
1. Some agent knowing that the word absolute secrecy doesnt
mean anything anymore will sell intimate details of the life of
the first family of the United States to the tabloids for a lot
of money, and the tabloids are going to exaggerate and twist the
details to make the first family of the United States a pathetic
sight.
2. World leaders are not going to trust the American Presidents
close environment and thus this will make his job as a president
harder, if not impossible.
AUTHOR COMMENT
There is an absolute
need from Mr Kenneth Starr irresponsible conduct to draw lesson
for the future. American citizen have the duty to press their congressman
for a law defining the secret service duties and limitations

VINCE FOSTER
CASE & BLINDNESS OF JUSTICE
Kenneth Starr, as part of his continuing investigation which is
not anymore a series of independent investigations such as Whitewater,
Filegate, Paula Jones, Travelgate & Monica Lewinsky, but an
obvious full force hunting chase to get the president no matter
how bad in the process it will hurt the United States of America.
A judge in Arkansas, forbade Mr. Kenneth Starr from having access
to confidential notes between Vince Foster, who was an aide at the
White House and who committed suicide, and Vince Fosters attorney.
The judge simply reaffirmed the almost absolute confidentiality
that exist between attorney and client even after death.
But, simply asking the question: Why is Kenneth Starr in the midst
of investigating the Lewinsky case going after notes that are certainly
not relevant to the Lewinsky case?
In my opinion Kenneth Starr is far beyond trying to kill the president
with one bullet. He is loading guns with canisters which contain
hundreds of bullets that go in almost every direction in front of
the big gun. Then, he fires and hopes that one of the stray bullets
will kill the president. It is exactly the kind of action that the
founders of democracy in the United States tried to avoid because
it reminded them so much of the blindness of justice from kings,
monarchs, and tyrants, who were their masters in the English Colonies.

WEB HUBBLE
OVERTURNED TAX EVASION INDICTMENT
In order to put another squeeze to Web Hubble, a partner in the
Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, and thus indirectly to Mrs. Clinton,
who was also a partner in the rose Law Firm, Kenneth Starr resorted
to the following strategy:
He indicted Web Hubble for tax evasion. Even a fifth grader will
understand that Mr. Kenneth Starr was being very unfair.
The judge, in Arkansas threw out the indictment and the judges
reasons for doing so are pretty clear and are the following:
First, the judge stated that Mr. Kenneth Starr was outside the perimeter
of his mission as defined by the law.
Second, Web Hubble has been convicted for embezzlement in a previous
case. In order to get Web Hubble to tell about Mrs. Clinton, Mr.
Kenneth Starr granted him immunity. Under this immunity deal Mr.
Web Hubble gave a lot of documents to Mr. Starr, including his tax
returns and other accounting records. So, Mr. Kenneth Starr granted
immunity to Web Hubble in order to receive potentially dangerous
documents for Hillary Clinton and the President, then he used these
same documents given by Mr. Web Hubble under an immunity deal, against
the same Web Hubble, to indict him, which is astonishingly unfair
by any standard.
The judge in Arkansas, of course, overturned the indictment and
in his explanations he went so far as giving a slap on Mr. Kenneth
Starrs wrist for being so obviously irrespectful of the justice
ethics. So again, we have perfect proof that Mr. Starr is not conducting
a fair and democratic investigation but ambushing the President
by any means, including reneging on his own promises as somebody
like Sadam Hussein would.
No wonder mister Starr has the same rating approval that Sadam Hussein.

KENNETH
STARR & HIS ALLIES
February 14,1998
What seems to be the reasons that drive a special prosecutor like
Kenneth Starr.
1. The action of a totally desperate man. He feels so much pressure
because he already spent $40 million dollars to go after President
Clinton on all occasions, Travelgate, Filegate,Paula Jones, and
the Whitewater Investigation. He has come with nothing. The pressure
on him is so big that he is resorting to any means to convict President
Clinton. And he will, he has no choice, he has to come with a conviction,
he is now in another world where the word justice, common sense
have no meaning anymore, he is a desperate man trying to show that
at least he has scored something against President Clinton.
2. The second reason is that although I doubt there is no general
right wing plot, there are the following elements that are supporting
and helping and guiding Mr. Kenneth Starr in his search for a score
against President Clinton. First, all his friends are among the
Republicans. Republicans who would like very much to be even with
the Democrats after Nixon was forced to resign. He really wants
the Democratic President to be forced to resign so its their
way to get even. But Kenneth Starr was a lawyer for the tobacco
industry which is a Clinton adversary. Clients and people he was
with are the worst part of the Republican Party, people who strongly
defend private interest against a killing disease. They would rather
see the tobacco industry make profits than thousands of Americans
not dying.
On top of that his strong connection for this time with Senator
Jesse Helms and other very, very right wing who will be very happy
to see President Clinton forced to resign. We have the tobacco industry
leaders who were caught lying by our lawmakers. they have all the
reasons and all the money to get even with Mr. Clinton. On the other
hand you also have most of the right wing Republicans who
would really like to President Clinton go down because he is doing
so well . So, as we might eventually not see it as a vast right
wing conspiracy, yes, the tobacco industry clients, friends and
sponsors of Kenneth Starr and the Republican leaders are after President
Clinton .

THE FUNDAMENTALIST
MUSLIMS
The Muslim religion, one of the major religions in the world started
to play a powerful and political role around 1970. Before this date
and after the crusades this religion was like any other major religion,
in countries that were still living under kings rule or dictators
rule. The complete absence of Democracies in most of the Muslim
world, which is mostly, but not totally an Arab world, and the very
poor level of education, allowed the rulers to let the masses fill
their everyday life with religion. It was an alternative to modern
thinking. The masses needed an outlet, because, except in some very
oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia, the masses were very poor,
many of them having emigrated in slums on the outskirts of large
cities.
Some Muslim countries, after world war I and II , began a process
of democratization and a strong attempt at modernization, which
include above all, giving a woman the rights of a modern human being.
In fact the Muslim religion and its laws stipulate that a women
is a lesser human being than a man. For example, in some Muslims
countries strictly obeying the laws of the Muslim religion :
A woman must not drive
a car
A woman must not take a plane without a written authorization of
a male relative
A women must not show her face in public and must wear a veil
A women must not receive the same higher education a man receives
And so on ....
Turkey, after World War I, was very radical and declared a modern
laic state with good success and a strong dose of democratic laws.
Egypt went through a period of socialist regime under Dictator Nasser
which lessened the Muslim influence. His successor in 1970, President
Anouar el Sadate, worked on two fronts that enraged the fundamentalist
Muslims: he reached for a peace with Israel and promoted womens
rights including opening the Egyptian Assembly to thirty women.
For these actions of peace and in favor of civil rights, he
was assassinated by the Fundamentalist Muslims in 1991.
The most publicized event that happened in the Muslim World was
the overtaking in 1979 by a fundamentalist Muslim government of
the kingdom of Iran.
The Ayatollah Khomeini
became the leader of this religious state.
It is important to
understand what does a religious state mean in this case.
This religious state
has adopted the same ideology as their Communist regime and their
Nazi regime: convert the rest of the world to your ideology or religion
or kill them. People are now well aware of the atrocities committed
by the Nazi and Communist, now the Fundamentalist Muslins
are intent on achieving the same goals using the same method.
In Iran, the Fundamentalist
Muslins massacred, thousands of opponents
Opponents who took refuge in other countries where murdered by hit
men from Iran.
Christians and Jewish
tourists coaches are hit by machine guns at tourist sites.
American and European
Embassies are bombed and targeted for terrorism.
Writers and Journalists
who represent the freedom of speech are murdered.
A fact that is almost
unknown is the dreadful situation in Algeria.
The Fundamentalist
Muslins have massacred at least 50,000 people in Algeria,
most of them, civilians, women as well as men, Muslins, but
not Fundamentalists. They especially targeted the journalists, itinerant
entertainers, writers, radio speakers, in a word, everybody that
could use, what is called Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press.
Murder and massacres are now part of every day Algerian life.
Of course, American people, even in the United States are far from
being safe from the Fundamentalists terrorist actions, the bomb
and killings at the World Trade Center, in New York is a reminder
of this ideology of hatred and crime.

WHAT IS THE
MATTER WITH KENNETH STARR ?
It is interesting to try to understand
the personality of the first independent counsel whos reading
of the Constitution pushed him to grill the President, Bill Clinton
on a totally private matter; the Presidents sex life.
Kenneth Starr seems to search the
companies of very powerful and extremely rich people all of them
Republicans such as the well known Clinton hater, Mr. Mellon Scaff.
Mr. Kenneth Starr seems to thrive in the company of Clinton haters.
He was one of the prominent attorneys for the tobacco industry,
which is one of the most powerful and forceful haters of the President.
He seems to go by the book in his
search of the truth against Clinton. In reality, he wraps himself
in the cloak of legality as a bigot would invoke the bible.
He is intelligent enough to follow
the legal code, by the book, but not intelligent enough to see a
bigger picture.
He is intelligent enough to follow
his friends, the Clinton haters, but not intelligent enough to select
his friends and allies among true believers of democracy.
He is intelligent enough to follow
religion and ideas but not intelligent enough to see that he is
thrusting a knife into the heart of his own country, the United
States of America.
He is intelligent enough to follow
bravely, methodically a set of instructions either given by the
law or hinted by the people which company he relishes, but not intelligent
enough to understand the meaning of instructions.
He is intelligent enough to be
a sophisticated killing machine but not intelligent enough to see
if his target is a dangerous murderer and a deadly threat for the
United States or an exceptional man, the President of its own country.
He is intelligent enough to be
the perfect mercenary, but not intelligent enough to choose his
missions.
He is intelligent enough to be
a perfect weapon but not intelligent enough to see that he has been
manipulated.

A CRISIS
TURNED INTO A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY
Republicans are handing over to
the Democrats the victory in the next legislative election. Will
the Democrats do what it takes to grab it? On one hand, you have
the American public, who with common sense is ready to forgive President
Clinton or has already forgiven him about his misconduct with intern,
Monica Lewinsky.
On the other hand, you have a Republican
party which has no decent leader and has abused the system of independent
counsel, has diminished their own country, the United States of
America by weakening the presidency without any creditable evidence
of a lack of leadership by president Bill Clinton.
It should be an easy and pleasant exercise for the Democrats to
explain to the American people how the Republicans hate democracy,
which is the government of the people, by the people; its
a recurrent pattern among the Republicans.
A few examples:
The Republican party shut down
the whole government three times in a row in 1996 in order to blackmail
President Clinton. Was that the desire of the American people? No,
they strongly expressed their disapproval, it was obvious contempt
for the American people. The leaders of the Republican party dont
act anymore as the peoples representative, but as a cast of the
reigning few living in the royal town of Washington, deciding what
is good for the country without ever taking into consideration the
interest of the American people.
During the different cases brought
against President Bill Clinton by the Republicans during his presidency.
The Republican leaders forcefully asked for one independent counsel
probe after one another, such as Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate,
and the Lewinsky Case. The American public was not condemning the
first probe, who could have been related to financial or political
misconduct but the American public drew the line for the Lewinsky
case and said, "I dont want an independent counsel hunting
down the facts in the Presidents private life because he is
entitled to some privacy in his private life as well as I am."
" He shouldnt be treated differently than I should be
treated. I, the American people wouldnt like to have hundreds
of hunters around me, setting traps about my private life to bring
me down because I am successful . Most of the constituents of the
society are experiencing economical satisfaction and a decent life
and have hope in the future".
The pattern of anti-Democratic
behavior shown by the Republicans is a very dangerous fact, unfortunately
of todays American society and a tremendous threat on the
United States for the future.
