The format of "60 Minutes" is rigged and fascist in structure. Wallace and his comrades play the role of sadistic torture masters. They have total control of the agenda. They have total control of what questions are asked and what questions are answered. They are two-bit tyrants, interrogators with a narrow agenda, not objective interviewers. Let me assure you that if we subjected Mike Wallace or Don Hewitt to the same format, we could make them squirm like weasels and look flagrantly dishonest. The technique is simple: you comb through their biographies to find their weakest points, and then press on those points hard, while giving them no opportunity to break out of the box of your agenda. Hewitt and Wallace aren't journalists: they're crude propagandists. If Wallace were forced to defend his ideas about Fostergate in the free and open environment of the Internet, he would be crushed. Without all his elaborate props and power-enhancing tricks, he's an intellectual mediocrity. This is the beauty of the Internet: you prevail by the strength of your information and ideas, period. Usually it takes only two or three exchanges between opposing parties on an issue to determine who has the better information and analysis. We have seen the process wonderfully at work in this newsgroup: Swopa, Hanson, Frazier and Parson have been unable to address any of the substance of Hugh Sprunt's "Citizen's Independent Report." It's glaringly obvious to any intelligent person which parties are making the most sense. The Internet is the ultimate cool medium. Verbal abuse, bullying, spamming and jamming get you nowhere. In fact, the more you rely on those techniques, the more you destroy your credibility, and the faster you sink like a stone. Parson, Frazier and Hanson have permanently ruined their reputations where it counts. Swopa, despite the more subdued style, is getting close. Here's a question for Mike Wallace: why haven't 60 Minutes or The Washington Post hired document and handwriting experts to prove the authenticity of Foster's suicide note? Answer the question, Mike. (Mike squirms like a weasel.) Answer the question, Mike. (Mike squirms like a weasel.) Answer the question, Mike. (Mike squirms like a weasel.) What's the matter: you can't answer the question, Mike? How about you, Frazier: can't you answer the question? You, Parson and Hanson have been offering one of the finest demonstrations of squirming regarding Sprunt's "Citizen's Independent Report" that I've ever seen on the Internet. It's going to be a classic. -- Wayne McGuire wmcguire@cybercom.net http://www.cybercom.net/~wmcguire/ From wmcguire@cybercom.net Thu Aug 8 15:27:42 PDT 1996 Article: 75832 of alt.conspiracy Path: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca!news.island.net!news.bctel.net!news.internetMCI.com!imci3!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.cybercom.net!usenet From: wmcguire@cybercom.net (Wayne McGuire) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy,alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater Subject: Mark Fabiani vs. Roger Morris on Mena Date: Thu, 08 Aug 1996 04:22:15 GMT Organization: Cyber Access Internet Services (617) 396-0491 Lines: 42 Message-ID: <3209698e.37399772@news.cybercom.net> References:NNTP-Posting-Host: mfd-dial2-23.cybercom.net X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Xref: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca alt.conspiracy:75832 alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater:31056 nanomius@netcom.com (Albert Nanomius) wrote: > The Washington Post, August 7, 1996, p.

The most damaging information I have seen about Mena was presented in Roger Morris's "Partners in Power." The information is well-documented. Roger Morris is not a member of "the right wing conspiracy industry"--his politics appear to be left-centrist. I challenge Mark Fabiani or any other Clinton administration supporter to present a point-by-point rebuttal of Morris's chapter on Mena on the Internet, and to engage in a rational discussion and debate on the subject. The safe prediction is that we will either hear a dead silence from this entire camp, or be treated to more jamming and torrents of evasive verbal abuse. They are intellectually and morally bankrupt. These people can no more rebut Roger Morris than they can rebut Hugh Sprunt. They inhabit a world of propagandistic fantasies, not facts. It is also a safe bet that John Deutch will only go through the motions of investigating Mena, and produce a whitewash of the affair. -- Wayne McGuire wmcguire@cybercom.net http://www.cybercom.net/~wmcguire/ From wmcguire@cybercom.net Sun Aug 11 11:53:52 PDT 1996 Article: 76892 of alt.conspiracy Path: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca!news.island.net!vertex.tor.hookup.net!hookup!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!spool.mu.edu!newshub.tc.umn.edu!newsfeed.orst.edu!news.uoregon.edu!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.cybercom.net!usenet From: wmcguire@cybercom.net (Wayne McGuire) Newsgroups: alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater,alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: New Sprunt article in Media Bypass: some highlights Date: Thu, 08 Aug 1996 15:52:44 GMT Organization: Cyber Access Internet Services (617) 396-0491 Lines: 96 Message-ID: <320a0c7c.79115936@news.cybercom.net> References: <3203C055.6DE9@worldnet.att.net> <4u101p$kij@garcia.efn.org> <4u1grb$n4v@xochi.tezcat.com> <4u2l8n$a6p@garcia.efn.org> <4u2v6a$c9i@xochi.tezcat.com> <4u3vth$3ah@garcia.efn.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: mfd-dial2-4.cybercom.net X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Xref: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater:31492 alt.conspiracy:76892 gfrazier@efn.org (Gary Frazier) wrote: >Why do the conspiracy theorists switch stories every three weeks? Hugh Sprunt's "Citizen's Independent Report" has been quite consistent and stable for many more than three weeks. You continue to embarrass yourself in this newsgroup, Frazier, by revealing a complete ignorance about the details of the controversy over Foster's death. Let's see you address in a rational and informed way the information in the executive summary of Sprunt's report: --- BEGIN ---- Executive Summary The facts in this "Citizen's Independent Report" on the death of Mr. Foster have been extracted directly from the raw evidence the Senate released in January 1995 (2726 pages in three volumes). This voluminous Senate material is presented here in a much more coherent and logical fashion. This report contains many citations to the official record, should readers wish to check the accuracy of the quotations and other facts in this report against the record. This report contains evidence from the US Park Police Case Jacket on the death of Vince Foster, from later FBI witness interviews, from testimony and depositions taken in connection with the 1994 Senate Whitewater Hearings, and from the huge number of documents gathered by official investigators. For a quick overview of some of the disturbing facts taken straight from the official record, see the next section of this report. The US Park Police Report, The Fiske Report, and the 1994 Senate Report (the "Reports") selectively included data that supported the officially-sanctioned "suicide verdict" and ignored, or gave little weight to, those that did not. Therefore, many facts in this report will be "new," even to those who have followed the prior investigations via the media. The author is putting the disturbing raw data from the record before the public in an attempt to convince Congress to hold the open and unrestricted inquiry into Vince Foster's death that should have occurred in July 1993. Examples of the selectivity of the official Reports: 1) Two witnesses at Fort Marcy Park the afternoon of Vince Foster's death described individuals whom they saw in the vicinity of Mr. Foster's Honda about a half hour before his body was officially discovered. One of these individuals was seen sitting in the Honda. The other stood by the Honda which had its hood raised. Mr. Foster was nowhere to be seen. These individuals were not considered important enough to be a factor in the conclusions reached by the official Reports. 2) One of these witnesses told the FBI that information recorded in her prior official interview did not accurately reflect what she had said, but the official Reports ignored that unpleasant circumstance. Witness statements and other useful data were ignored by the official Reports unless they bolstered the "suicide verdict." Examples: 1) The decision to treat the death as a suicide was made before the Criminal Investigation Branch investigators had even seen the body and 2) The Park Police closed its investigation before learning whether the gun found with Mr. Foster could shoot. There are gross contradictions in the record evidenced by the official photographs, the FBI interview of the doctor who examined the body at Fort Marcy, the official autopsy report, and the statements made by US Park Police and Fairfax County personnel. Times in the record are often contradictory and items that disturb the official consensus are given short shrift in the Reports. There is strong evidence that Foster's White House connection was known not later than 6:35 PM (at least an hour before its "official" discovery), although the White House was not notified until 8:30 PM per the Secret Service memo in the record. Are the various contradictions significant? See the next section. Mr. Foster's body and his Honda were searched, but no car keys were found at Fort Marcy Park. This raised the possibility that someone else had driven his car to Fort Marcy Park. Mr. Foster's car keys were located in his previously-searched pants pocket hours later and miles away from the park on the key ring holding his "personal" keys. Another key ring, with his White House keys, was discovered at that time along with his personal keys. The White House key ring held a high-security type key, a plastic tab, a key for double-bitted cam locks, and two keys for standard door locks. This report offers no "ultimate" reason for Mr. Foster's death. Instead, it describes the very sizable errors, omissions, and inconsistencies latent in the record, items that have not been part of the public debate about his death. It's time they should be. They are amazing enough all by themselves --- END ---- -- Wayne McGuire wmcguire@cybercom.net http://www.cybercom.net/~wmcguire/ From wmcguire@cybercom.net Wed Aug 28 16:32:25 PDT 1996 Article: 82330 of alt.conspiracy Path: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca!news.island.net!news.bctel.net!newsfeed.direct.ca!news.emf.net!imci3!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in3.uu.net!news.cybercom.net!usenet From: wmcguire@cybercom.net (Wayne McGuire) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy,alt.government.abuse,soc.culture.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.politics.correct,alt.politics.usa.republican,alt.politics.clinton,alt.president.clinton,alt.current-events.usa,talk.politics.misc,alt.politics.usa.misc,alt.politics.libertarian,alt.politics.usa.congress,alt.politics.usa.constitution,alt.politics.usa.newt-gingrich,talk.politics.libertarian,talk.politics.guns,alt.politics.democrats.d,alt.politics.reform,alt.journalism,alt.news-media,alt.activism,alt.activism.d,alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater Subject: Re: October Surprise Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 15:40:29 GMT Organization: Cyber Access Internet Services (617) 396-0491 Lines: 72 Message-ID: <32246688.3227517@news.cybercom.net> References: <4tosob$mfj@newslink.runet.edu> <32078F1E.4D47@ibm.net> <3208f19e.11024650@news.dialnet.net> <3212de22.5610863@news.globalnet.co.uk> <4v1vbp$d18@dfw-ixnews2.ix.netcom.com> <4v4m4h$qh0@news.ios.com> <3216eca1.36272140@nntp.ix.netcom.com> <4v7lrp$esf@dfw-ixnews6.ix.netcom.com> <32177E2B.6A87@interramp.com> <4vaf50$gag@dfw-ixnews9.ix.netcom.com> <4vclq9$rjb@sjx-ixn3.ix.netcom.com> <321BCA2C.3A52@mail.cei.net> <321F9CFF.72B4@bbox.com> <32204379.21AA@southwind.com> <32226E2D.523E@mail.cei.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: mfd-dial2-11.cybercom.net X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Xref: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca alt.conspiracy:82330 soc.culture.usa:91868 alt.fan.rush-limbaugh:364579 alt.politics.correct:131062 alt.politics.usa.republican:265208 alt.politics.clinton:280997 alt.president.clinton:91332 alt.current-events.usa:24953 talk.politics.misc:443037 alt.politics.usa.misc:105187 alt.politics.libertarian:202532 alt.politics.usa.congress:60667 alt.politics.usa.constitution:85689 alt.politics.usa.newt-gingrich:76245 talk.politics.libertarian:117105 talk.politics.guns:304558 alt.politics.democrats.d:114269 alt.politics.reform:91654 alt.journalism:51872 alt.news-media:28699 alt.activism:71020 alt.activism.d:27565 alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater:34756 Tim Watson wrote: >gary addis wrote: >> >> Jim Galasyn wrote: >> > >> > Tim Watson wrote: >> > >> > > I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

Any full investigation of "Whitewater" will damage the Republicans at least as much as the Democrats, and quite likely lead all the way back through Iran-Contra to the October Surprise. No wonder Republicans in the know are afraid to lay a hand on Clinton. Not only that, Clinton gives every appearance of being a closet Republican who is doing more to dismantle the liberal state than Dole or any other overt Republican leader ever could.

Isn't it fascinating that when Morris wrote an honest biography about Nixon, he was hailed by the big media as a genius, but when he wrote a similarly honest biography about Bill Clinton, the big media treated him like he was the skunk at the garden party? Have Morris's journalistic and literary skills really declined so dramatically from his Nixon to his Clinton biographies? Or are the big media simply exposing their crude ideological agenda? >By the way, I never post anonymously, though I understand why some folks >chose to do so granted the murderous passions so frequently expressed in >these lists. There is another reason why many people post anonymously or under pseudonyms: to avoid responsibility for making irresponsible statements. Much of the worst crap in cyberspace is posted by people who lack the courage to use their real names. "Pat Parson" and "Richard Hanson" are classic examples of the problem. -- Wayne McGuire wmcguire@cybercom.net http://www.cybercom.net/~wmcguire/ From wmcguire@cybercom.net Thu Aug 29 10:30:16 PDT 1996 Article: 304558 of talk.politics.guns Path: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca!news.island.net!news.bctel.net!newsfeed.direct.ca!news.emf.net!imci3!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in3.uu.net!news.cybercom.net!usenet From: wmcguire@cybercom.net (Wayne McGuire) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy,alt.government.abuse,soc.culture.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.politics.correct,alt.politics.usa.republican,alt.politics.clinton,alt.president.clinton,alt.current-events.usa,talk.politics.misc,alt.politics.usa.misc,alt.politics.libertarian,alt.politics.usa.congress,alt.politics.usa.constitution,alt.politics.usa.newt-gingrich,talk.politics.libertarian,talk.politics.guns,alt.politics.democrats.d,alt.politics.reform,alt.journalism,alt.news-media,alt.activism,alt.activism.d,alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater Subject: Re: October Surprise Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 15:40:29 GMT Organization: Cyber Access Internet Services (617) 396-0491 Lines: 72 Message-ID: <32246688.3227517@news.cybercom.net> References: <4tosob$mfj@newslink.runet.edu> <32078F1E.4D47@ibm.net> <3208f19e.11024650@news.dialnet.net> <3212de22.5610863@news.globalnet.co.uk> <4v1vbp$d18@dfw-ixnews2.ix.netcom.com> <4v4m4h$qh0@news.ios.com> <3216eca1.36272140@nntp.ix.netcom.com> <4v7lrp$esf@dfw-ixnews6.ix.netcom.com> <32177E2B.6A87@interramp.com> <4vaf50$gag@dfw-ixnews9.ix.netcom.com> <4vclq9$rjb@sjx-ixn3.ix.netcom.com> <321BCA2C.3A52@mail.cei.net> <321F9CFF.72B4@bbox.com> <32204379.21AA@southwind.com> <32226E2D.523E@mail.cei.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: mfd-dial2-11.cybercom.net X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Xref: nizkor.almanac.bc.ca alt.conspiracy:82330 soc.culture.usa:91868 alt.fan.rush-limbaugh:364579 alt.politics.correct:131062 alt.politics.usa.republican:265208 alt.politics.clinton:280997 alt.president.clinton:91332 alt.current-events.usa:24953 talk.politics.misc:443037 alt.politics.usa.misc:105187 alt.politics.libertarian:202532 alt.politics.usa.congress:60667 alt.politics.usa.constitution:85689 alt.politics.usa.newt-gingrich:76245 talk.politics.libertarian:117105 talk.politics.guns:304558 alt.politics.democrats.d:114269 alt.politics.reform:91654 alt.journalism:51872 alt.news-media:28699 alt.activism:71020 alt.activism.d:27565 alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater:34756 Tim Watson wrote: >gary addis wrote: >> >> Jim Galasyn wrote: >> > >> > Tim Watson wrote: >> > >> > > I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

You are missing a life. Nothing better illustrates the deep difficulties and confusion of Republicans regarding "Whitewater" than this message. Supposedly those who wonder about the October Surprise are "loons." All speculations about conspiracies involving Democrats like Bill Clinton are, however, perfectly sane. If one does indeed read "Partners in Power" carefully, which Tim Watson obviously hasn't, one will quickly realize that Ronald Reagan, Bill Casey and the Republican Party were much more responsible for any crimes committed at Mena than Bill Clinton and the Democrats. Any full investigation of "Whitewater" will damage the Republicans at least as much as the Democrats, and quite likely lead all the way back through Iran-Contra to the October Surprise. No wonder Republicans in the know are afraid to lay a hand on Clinton. Not only that, Clinton gives every appearance of being a closet Republican who is doing more to dismantle the liberal state than Dole or any other overt Republican leader ever could. Clinton has managed to completely hoodwink his fellow Democrats. It's a brilliant performance. -- Wayne McGuire wmcguire@cybercom.net http://www.cybercom.net/~wmcguire/
