OK, listen up all you gullible little donkeys & pachyderms, Uncle Bill is about to let a well-worn, mangy feline out the decaying gunny-sack of spycraft. There’s no better illustration of this than the strange, twisted tale of America’s 42nd President.
In 1962, a clever & precocious 16 yr old from a badly fractured family in dirt-poor central Arkansas, William Jefferson Blythe, changes his legal last name to “Clinton.” His widowed mother, whom he adored, had earlier remarried one Roger Clinton, a disturbed gambler & alcoholic who routinely abused her, often resulting in fisticuffs between young William and his step-father. Yet Virginia Clinton later divorced Roger that same year (’62), who ended up dying of cancer 5 years later.
At this point we have to ask, why (at age 16?) change your name to that of the hated man who terrorized your biological Mother? Especially since she was well on her way to dumping the guy.
Clinton did it to curry favor with his late step-dad’s prosperous brother, Raymond ‘Buddy’ Clinton, who was the ‘major domo’ of their hometown (at the time) of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Raymond Clinton’s fingers were in everything in that resort city; car dealerships, motels, restaurants, show clubs, pawn shops, etc. He was the exact opposite of his awful, reprobate brother Roger.
Except Raymond ‘Buddy’ Clinton had a BIG secret; he was a Godfather of the “Dixie Mafia.”
Behind all his operations were gambling parlors, liquor outlets, fencing fronts, whorehouses (and most instructive to his young step-nephew). Raymond also did important favors, like the “cooler function,” for the nearby Sicilian Mafia in New Orleans, headed by the powerful & secretive Carlos Marcello.
Marcello, along with mob-banker Meyer Lansky & others, were eager & early investors in the dictator Fulgencio Batista’s Cuba, slated to be a postwar, “nationally sovereign” criminal enterprise. It was a playground of the Who’s Who of international racketeers and corporate plunder artists like ITT and the United Fruit Company.
Cuba was already paying off big-time, except for this pesky little problem, one Fidel Castro, who then surprised the DC deep-state by actually overthrowing their boy Batista (1959). And after being foolishly feted in the West (the NY Times gushingly called him, “the Robin Hood of the Caribbean”) went back to Cuba, and declared he was a Marxist all along. The deep-state had a cow; lots of very bad & bloody spy-stuff began and lasted into the 1990s.
By the time (1966) Bill Clinton was introduced thru ‘Uncle Buddy’ to Marcello and “the outfit” (CIA), the US Deep-State’s war on Castro was well underway. The DC intelligence bureaucracy saw the gifted young Clinton as a potential intern; they also recognized right away he had serious political aspirations.
And Clinton came from a badly broken family, a key psychological marker indicating the ability to compartmentalize like a sociopath. So he was assigned to the ‘Farm Club,’ and thus began the grooming and credentialing for a plan years in the making.
Fast forward to today.
It’s the same with all of ‘em: scratch the surface and dig a little bit and you’ll see the same patterns; ones especially prevalent in the Cold War, and immediate post Cold War period. There’s every reason to believe the current fossilized occupant of the White House is no different; after all he was Vice President to one of their previous “Interns” from Hawaii.
How better to covertly observe the foreign payola & intrigue–than that flowing through a dirty, compromised, ex-US Senator from Delaware; a.k.a. the “big guy?” Others now argue it’s foolish to assume the Russians, Ukrainians & Chi-coms are unaware they’re being played. Therein lays the deeper mystery of why this (Ukraine War, et al), is unfolding now.
If you want to read more about the Clintons, I highly recommend the 1996 book, Partners in Power, by Roger Morris, former New Mexican and genuine Cold War insider, and first hired-on from Harvard by Dean Acheson. He worked directly for Henry Kissinger at the National Security Council. Morris evidently has a very ‘bullet-proof’ insurance policy against any Deep-State reprisals for his detailed apostasy.
So to answer the title question above, i.e. Why? They’re all domestic lab-rats & foreign intel bait for the US Deep-State.
