Mike Ruppert ('Crossing the Rubicon') on Clark: SCATHING...agrees with me.
Some Clark supporters are now dropping the codeword 'seventhson' on me meaning 'freeper' because I insist at length that General Clark is a horror show for Dems and progressives. The web of money, spooks, and weapons is complex and draws accusations of 'guilt by six degrees of seperation' when I try to cite them. Ruppert has done it in his best-selling book where I have failed.

Does Mike Ruppert who tied Peak Oil to 9/11 as the New Pearl Harbor carry any weight with you? See his website http://fromthewilderness.com/

Author of CROSSING THE RUBICON: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil -- New Society Publishers

Read this Mike Ruppert FTW report from October 1993 and see his assessment of the potential candidates for 2004 and how they fit in to the permanent oil war economy.

He sees a candidate being groomed who will give more of the same for the permanent oil occupation.

His information on a Daniel Sheehan who has smothered lawsuits against the CIA and is now tight with Dennis Kucinich's campaign just might explain why Kucinich is not the player we hoped for.

The US will never let go of Iraqi oil. But the message is clear: Change front men and continue with the program. No matter who wins in 2004, the game will be played as Vietnam was played - but for much higher stakes.

Wesley Clark has been pounced upon with adoration by progressives and Democrats as though he were a God of reason and salvation. This late-comer entered the race in September at the top of the polls. In fact, he is a reincarnation of the most corrupt and violent aspects of William Jefferson Clinton. I have great respect for author and filmmaker Michael Moore, but when I saw him endorse Wesley Clark, I nearly choked. Let's refresh everyone's memory by looking at the retired NATO Commander's history. It shows us is that he has the perfect résumé to continue the job that the Bush gang began, and then botched.

>snip<

In June of 2000, I was stunned to see an announcement in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that a retiring Wesley Clark was going to go to work for billionaire investment banker and Presidential kingmaker Jackson Stephens in Little Rock. This set off alarm bells that Clark was someone to watch. In his current campaign literature, Clark lists his profession as an investment banker. And he is still employed by Stephens.

Stephens was the man who gave a down-and-out Bill Clinton a $2 million loan to jumpstart an ailing presidential campaign in 1992. There is also a glowing photograph of Stephens with a young George W. Bush in the brilliant expose of the drug money laundering and covert operations bank BCCI, False Profits. Several BCCI players, including Saudi banker Khalid bin Mahfouz, have been directly tied to the financing of Al Qaeda.

A search of the FTW web site shows that I have written about Stephens - Jimmy Carter's roommate at Annapolis -- six times. Stephens' firm Systematics, which has since gone through two name changes to become Axciom, was deeply connected to the PROMIS software scandal, the Worthen Bank, the Lippo Group, and subsequently through a 2001 FTW investigation to drug money laundering out of the Mena Regional Intermountain Airport in Arkansas. In that investigation, looking into the apparent release from US prison of Medellin Cartel co-founder Carlos Lehder, we found that one of Stephens' subsidiaries, Beverly Enterprises, had been connected to a suspected money laundering operation involving bearer bonds sold by Bill Clinton's Arkansas Development Financial Authority, sold by Stephens Inc, and underwritten by the insurance giant AIG and Goldman Sachs.

2. This person is hijacking us
My advice is to let his thread fade away and not let him dominate every positive Clark thread out there.

He won't be convinced by any arguments anyone makes.

3. Ruppert is a nut-job.
Yeah, yeah, Jimmy Carter is the great satan. This guy makes a living with outrageous slanders on Democrats.

Clinton and Carter weren't perfect Presidents, but Ruppert's attempts to put them in the tub with the Bushes is disgusting.
