Why? Couldn't figure it out. Gunboat at midnight in the middle of the Mekong with Voice of America saying we're there to abort our attack. Walsh and the General recaptured before turnover. Why? Now I'll tell you why. If this is true it means Richard Armitage and a lot of other people that are named here are the least men in the world that want to see Americans come home. Because when American prisoners of war do come home, whether we bring them home or they drag themselves across that Mekong river somehow, and report to the US Embassy and aren't destroyed there. When they do come home, because they will, there will be one hell of an investigation as to what took the greatest nation in the world so long to bring home heroes that have been waiting for more than fifteen years. When that investigation is conducted it will show as Khun Sa says that these men, these bureaucrats, appointed not elected, appointed, have broken the faith with you and this country and its law. Have used their office as a cover to run drugs and arms to promote covert operations that the United States Congress did not approve of. Its the parallel government. Now that may be allright, but I'll tell you something. It's not allright to leave hundreds of Americans to die alone in the hands of the enemy to a bunch of wimps that were never there. When I came back here, I thought I was a lone ranger. I said, "Boy, I've got this information. Somehow we've got to get it to the proper authorities and I'm all alone. Well, not so. Guess who shows up in Time Magazine? H. Ross Perot ... and he's on page 18, May 4th and it says, "Perot's Private Probes." H. Ross Perot was not in Burma with me, but I know now where he got his info. Four billion dollars opens a lot of doors for you. It didn't open a couple of doors, however, as I'll let you in on this story. H. Ross Perot had gained US agent investigation reports of Richard Armitage. Perot didn't know I was over in Burma. He was doing this on his own. This article said he pinned Richard Armitage. Armitage is a fat broad. Literally. This is a giant of a man. And demanded that Armitage resign because it says that H. Ross Perot accused him of being an a drug smuggler and an arms dealer. That takes pretty big cajones. (laughter) It says that Perot then went to his friend, George Bush. It says that he gave evidence of wrong doing by Armitage. I'm quoting. Bush told Perot to go to the proper authorities. (sounds of shock and dismay by audience) I'm still reading now. So the billionaire called on William Webster. He's now head of the CIA. It says that Perot made at least one visit to the White House carrying a pile of documents, yet he has received no support from the Reagan administration. In fact Frank Carlucci... Who's he? He's the secretary of defense. And who was he before? Deputy directory of Central Intelligence. Frank Carlucci called him in to ask him to stop pursuing Armitage. Talk about insulation! And when four billion dollars can't even get your foot in the door even though the man is a good Texan from Houston. Tell me there's no cover-up here. Now H. Ross was working on his own. He didn't know what Khun Sa had told us. Khun Sa doesn't have a television or a telephone. He doesn't know who Richard Armitage is. He doesn't give a damn. All he knows is the people who are on his records that he's dealt with. This affadavit though by a man by the name of Daniel Sheehan ... and you'll recognize Sheehan's name if you don't know him already by the Silkwood case. He jumped on Kerr-Magee (sp?). Kerr-Magee is pretty powerful. But they won the Silkwood case there in Oklahoma and have done a few other things. (switch to a talk-show interview with Daniel Sheehan, lead attorney for the Christic Institute) Sheehan: There's little doubt at all that President Reagan was involved in a conspiracy to violate the Neutrality Act. He's been directly ordered by the United States Congress not to mount this military operation against Nicaragua. They've cut off all funds for him to do so, but he went to Saudi Arabia and various private citizens to raise the money in total violation of the Federal Neutrality Act. They're engaged in violations of the arms-export control act. They're engaged in violations of the Federal Racketeering Act. There is a whole federal racketeering syndicate that they like to refer to as The Enterprise. Richard Secord referred to it as. But what it is in fact, Jim, is the off-the-shelf, stand-alone, self-financing, covert operations capacity that Oliver North talked about Bill Casey wanting to set up. Fact is, that it has been set up. Its been operating for many years now. Out from under the control of any president. Out from under the control of the director of central intelligence. Out from under the supervision of any intelligence committee. Its run by Theodore Shakley, the former director of covert operations worldwide by the CIA under George Bush when George Bush was the director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976. And this crowd has set up the off-the-shelf operation and is carrying out not only a partnership with the drug dealers from Central America and from Southeast Asia, but also carrying out a major political assasination program which was participated in by William Buckley who was the Beirut section chief for the CIA who was kidnapped in March of 1984 and who was the subject of all the real negotiations for the sale of the TOW missiles to Iran. It was not a sale to open any openings to the moderates in Iran, nor was it in fact a negotiation to negotiate for the general release of hostages. It was initiated solely and exclusively to obtain the release of William Buckley because he knew about the whereabouts of the off-the-shelf operation. It was a criminal enterprise and they feared that if the American people found out about that there would be a huge constitutional scandal and the President of the United States would be impeached. May I most respectfully ask that this matter not be touched upon at this stage. If we wish to get into this I'm certain arrangements can be made during executive session. (cut to Jack Brook's summary) .. involving the US government in military activity in direct contradiction of the law, diverting public funds into private pockets in secret unofficial activities, selling access to the President for thousands of dollars, dispensing cash and foreign money orders out of a White House safe, accepting gifts and falsifying papers to cover it up, altering and shredding national security documents, lying to Congress. Now I believe that the American people understand that democracy cannot survive that kind of abuse.
