READING THE TEA LEAVES
Expert Post-Election Analysis by Dan Branermi
Straw man Bob Dole pretended to run for President. He went easy on Bill Clinton in return for a cushy post-election job, perhaps as part of a bi-partisan commission of some type.
The larger picture is for a second-term slow grilling of Bill Clinton with him eventually stepping down. In the works may well be, as emphasized by Sherman H. Skolnick of Chicago, an appointment by post-Clinton President Al Gore of Jay Rockefeller as Vice President. From there, Gore could be given the heave-ho based on alleged scandals connected to him.
All this "coincidentally" would occur concurrently with an inevitable economic collapse. Public rage at economic disaster could be diverted onto hapless Bill Clinton, suddenly revealed as a crook to a somewhat ignorant public.
Countering all this could be Clinton stonewalling: as head of the Executive branch, Bill Clinton has a lot of power. Were such stonewalling to occur, a prolonged agony of Clinton scandal hearings, investigations, and "news," may bring the situation to a tragic climax: veteran White House correspondent Sarah McClendon reportedly has voiced fears that Clinton may be assassinated.
Clinton is Oswald. As pointed out by Michel Foucault in his book, Surveiller et punir, the condemned man represents the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king. Lee Harvey Oswald's father died two months before he was born. Oswald's uncle, Charles "Dutz" Murret, was Lee's surrogate father during his youth. "Uncle Dutz" became connected with Carlos Marcello's Louisiana Mafia in 1947, and later helped young Lee Harvey Oswald gain employment as a "runner" for Marcello. Both Lee and Uncle Dutz worked in Marcello's downtown bookmaking network. (See Mafia Kingfish by John H. Davis, e.g. ch. 52.)
Bill Clinton's father William Blythe died in a car wreck in May of 1946. About three months later his son, the future President Bill Clinton, was born. Bill Clinton had as mentor and surrogate father one Raymond G. Clinton, brother of stepfather Roger Clinton, Sr. "Uncle Raymond" tutored young Bill Clinton in the hidden ways of politics. As pointed out by Roger Morris in Partner's in Power, "it would be to big Uncle Raymond that Billy turned again and again in matters of real power and ambition." According to veteran sleuth Skolnick, Uncle Raymond had underworld connections (see CN 9.54).
Oswald was the condemned man -- the inverted figure of the king. About 30 years after the death of condemned man Oswald we have come full-circle: Clinton is the inverted figure of the condemned man. Who is praised when the harvest (economy) is good? The king. Who is blamed when the crops (economy) fail? The king. The planned eruption of the various Clinton scandals into general public consciousness will coincide with the "crops" failing, and Bill Clinton has long-since been "sheep dipped" for his role of diversionary fall guy.
Tom Valentine, host of Radio Free America, has a slightly different slant. As reported in The Spotlight of 11/11/96, "some insiders are saying the charges and arrest [of Chuck Hayes] are politically motivated because Hayes is allegedly working with Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr." Valentine reportedly has predicted that upcoming scandal hearings may wind up further destroying public confidence in the government. He agrees with this observer that the whole situation is deliberate, yet differs as to its purpose: "When the truth hits the 'sheeple' like a ton of bricks, the mainstream will be traumatized. What kind of gimmick will be offered by the manipulators -- a new world order?"
Adding to the boiling cauldron is unrest within the military. According to Mr. Skolnick, there have in the past few years been several military plots to arrest Bill Clinton. Says Skolnick, "Some contend it would be justified under the Military Code." Currently, according to the Chicago journalist and crusader against corruption, "Clinton has quietly ordered total surveillance on all the flag officers, more than 400 Generals and Admirals. He wants to know who is plotting to arrest him."
In his current recorded message (312-731-1100), Mr. Skolnick foresees imminent indictments, including of First Lady Hillary Clinton. Says Skolnick, "Some expect Hillary may take up residence in a foreign country having no extradition treaty with the U.S., such as Ireland." If this occurs, perhaps her new neighbor will be disgraced Mexican ex-president Carlos Salinas, now also hiding out in Ireland.
Post-election analysis: Eruption of Clinton scandals will coincide with economic collapse. Clinton will be the scapegoat for public anger. Like Oswald, he will divert wrath from the real killers, in this case the killers of the economy. Complicating things will be Bill Clinton's ability, as Chief of the Executive branch, to stall the process. Lurking on the sidelines is a disgruntled military, with power of their own.
(By an interesting coincidence, the letters in the name "Dan Branermi" can be re-arranged to spell "Brian Redman.")
