PRESIDENT CLINTON
BY LOISE NEVILLE
QUESTION: In what way is President Clinton different from President
Bush? Answer: He's a better salesman. Bush started the war against Iraq
through the elitist UN Security Council controlled by the U.S., Britain,
and France.
Clinton continued it including a surprise bombing of the citizens of Baghdad.
Bush started the invasion of Somalia with the excuse of saving the starving,
under the same auspices-UN Security Council.
Clinton continued it and even enlarged our military there. (Footnote: Why
do you suppose that the first thing Somalia did when we arrived to save
them was to attack the UN Embassy in Mogadishu? They knew something we didn't
know?) Bush, with the aid of NED, the National Education for Democracy,
a notorious CIA network, right-wing organization, put Yeltsin into place
as President of Russia. (See the Covert Action Quarterly, formerly Covert
Action Information Bulletin, for details.)
Clinton backed Yeltsin's military junta, the attack on the Russian Parliament,
Russian Constitution, closing down media-this after Yeltsin had already
announced his plan to become dictator, sole ruler, of Russia. ("Doctors
without Borders" announced that thousands of Russians were killed or
wounded in that junta.)
Bush suggested the privatized health care plan the Rockefeller Foundation
attempted to institute under the Reagan administration. The name: Universal
Health Care Plan.
Clinton has introduced an extension of this privatized Universal Health
Care Plan which will operate through the three biggest insurance agencies
in the U.S. benefiting these tremendously, creating for them an insurance
monopoly which will harm smaller insurance companies.
Clinton has ignored the less costly, more encompassing and successful Canadian
Health Care Plan to advocate the Rockefeller Plan.
Bush created the junta which overthrew the presidency of Aristide in Haiti.
(Yes, that information is coming in from all sides now, not just from Haitian
refugees. But some understanding of global economics made the face immediately
clear.)
Clinton has completed the job by announcing that the situation in Haiti
is too hectic to ever permit Aristide's return. Bush cut Social Security
for Aid to Dependent Children, Seniors, Medicare. Did he include the disabled?
You tell me.
Clinton did the same, including the disabled. Bush declared against a law
permitting open homosexuals and lesbians in the military.
Clinton-the result of his highly publicized efforts is the same: gays are
OK as long as they don't admit it.
Bush favored and financed food irradiation plants. Only public protest and
public's refusal to buy such products prevented these plants from being
a financial success and put a temporary end to the plan. (Check Food and
Water for this.)
Clinton's new Secretary of Agriculture, Lee Espy, declares he favors food
irradiation. Bush was openly against government payment for abortions for
the poor.
Clinton-under Clinton this policy still stands. At least, I haven't heard
otherwise, have you?
Bush backed the genocide in Bosnia Hertsogovina with a refusal to back arms
for the Bosnians against the heavily armed Serbs. So this openly observed
genocide against a modern nation was allowed to continue. Clinton-exactly
the same. Bush's administration backed the destruction of our forests including
public lands in order to pay our bills to Japan and other nations to which
we owe our national debt.
Clinton-AFSEEE, the Association of Forest Service Employees for Environmental
Ethics, declares that the recent environmental bill to protect our forests
is full of loopholes which may make it of dubious effectiveness. Sierra
Club warns that logging and mining in Yosemite National Park threatens the
ecology there.
What is the difference between George Bush and Bill Clinton? Bush was openly
pro business; Clinton declares himself a populist. Bush does not have a
pleasant personality; Clinton does. In short, Clinton is a better salesman.
