William Jefferson Clinton Memorial Library
We'd like to welcome you to the
Clinton Library -- dedicated to preserving the true
legacy of the 42nd President of the United States.
Bill Clinton
promised as President that his would be the "most ethical administration in the
history of the country. As you explore the pages of this website, you can
decide for yourself whether he lived up to that promise
Why Bill Clinton was BAD for
America
Clinton's idea of "Crossing
the bridge into the 21st Century" did NOT take America in the direction most Americans
wanted to go as his bridge lead further into moral decacdence and eventually a
Socialist
State.
Bill Clinton's Foundational Philosophy for the
Socialist State
At his acceptance speech, President Clinton singled out Dr.
Carroll Quigley as being one whom helped to form his political outlook. Quigley
was a liberal academic with a very identifiable world view. Quigley is known
principally for his 1,338 page tome called Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Times
originally published in 1966.
Quigley wrote approvingly of the power,
influence and activities of what he called "the network" that tries to rule the
Western world. The "network" always prefers Big
Government, big federal spending, and the stability of a planned society rather
than the uncertainties of the free market. One example of the power of
the network is the way it has forced the American taxpayers to spend some $10
billion a year on foreign giveaways every year since World War II.
Quigley described the Council on Foreign Relations as one
of several "front" organizations set up by the network for the purpose
of advancing its internationalist schemes. He boasted: "I know of the
operations of this network because I have studied it for 20 years and was
permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret
records." Quigley asserted that he was personally acquainted with the
dynastic families of the super-rich, and he traced their
immense power and influence. For the most part, he was a fan of their goals and
policies and said that his chief difference with the "network" was that "it
wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant
enough to be known."
The "Hope" in his book's title represented the
collectivist one-world society that will exist when
the "network" achieves its goal of consolidating its rule. All who resist this
man-made millennium represent the "Tragedy," and Quigley asserted that it was
too late for ordinary people to fight it.
The economic comrade of Clinton's who, though appointed to no
official post, helped form his economic strategy is Derek Shearer, longtime
associate fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, "which is committed to socialism in America and sides with the
Soviet Union on almost every important foreign policy issue," according
to a 1988 article in Policy Review.
In the book Economic
Democracy, written with Martin Cornoy, Shearer says corporations are too
"impersonal and powerful" and that a strategy to achieve economic democracy
"must start by dismantling, or at least restricting, the power of these
corporations." Shearer and Carnoy call for a "democratically" planned economy -
one planned by government bureaucrats. They also call for nothing less than
complete government control of capital markets. "A
strategy of reform," they write, "must transfer capital from the corporations
to the public.... The logical vehicle for that process should be the
government." The objective, according to the book, is to provide a vehicle for
governmental takeovers of entire industries "without the immediate financial
and ideological burdens that large-scale nationalization efforts would entail."
This has been and continues to be the strategy employed with
Health Care and recent government intervention into the
tobacco
industry.
Bill Clinton's vision didn't put
people first, it put government first.
Beyond all the rhetoric and ballyhoo of the Clinton
administration, many American people recognized the characteristic signature of
the liberal agenda, including its fascination with bloated bureaucracy,
exploitation of the taxpayer for the sake of bigger and bigger government, and
all the other socialized programs connected with issues such as
education,
health Care and the environment
Though his policies claimed to be for "the best of
the country," their ends aim at the destruction of national patriotism and
personal independence.
The Clinton administration had an
openly socialist agenda.
Just as
frightening is that the American people either seemed not
to understand, didn't care or actually enjoyed and supported the socialist
idea of having to crawl up to the government feeding trough for anything
and everything from health care to food to housing. No longer did Americans ask
what they can do for their country. Instead, Americans wanted to know what the
country would do for them.
Bill Clinton was not alone in this move toward
Socialism. The United States Congress and Democratic Party is infested with
many Socialists. And, they no longer hide their affiliations. There are at
least 58 members of Congress -- 57 Democrats and one independent -- who have
signed onto the agenda of the
Democratic Socialists
of America. The group in the House of Representatives calls itself the
Progressive Caucus. [Socialists in Congress, Jane Chastain,
WorldNetDaily, Nov. 30, 1998]
Clinton's Goal for the 21st.
Century
Bill Clinton's real goal was the
creation of a new government-industrial complex
similar to the corporate state established in Italy in the 1930s. In Bill
Clinton's America, Washington would dictate the details
of daily economic life in an unprecedented way. His policies abounded in
government interventions into the private sector, each with untold impact on
the ability of American business to expand and create new jobs for American
workers.
The Clinton's want, for example, for the federal government
to create a new bureaucracy to determine how much money each worker, manager,
and owner of a business should be paid. His proposals required government
bureaucrats to come up with a complex formula to penalize "excessive pay" in
the private sector; such "excess" would not be allowed to be included as a
legitimate business expense for tax purposes.
Under Clinton's health
care plan, for example, American citizens would be required to utilize a
government chosen doctor for their health care and those who chose to obtain
services with their own money would be considered criminals.
Socialism is government ownership and/or control
over the basic means of production and distribution of services and goods. This
means the government controls everything, including you. Socialism, like
Communism, is a consolidate and control the wealth program; not a
share-the-wealth program as many would have you believe.
America is quickly becoming a Socialist State. The following
things are characteristic of socialistic forms of government proposed by the
Democratic Party and illustrated by Hillary Clinton's "village".
- The individual loses all rights and everything is done in the
name of the commonwealth (public) (read - "village"); you are officially
the property of the state and not an individual with wants, desires, and needs.
There is only the rich and the commonwealth. If you are not rich, then you
are a member of the commonwealth. The needs and wants of the rich come before
the needs and wants of the commonwealth. In the commonwealth there are no
individuals and no one has any rights whatsoever. All decisions in your behalf
are made by the state. Your children are the property of the state and it is
decided by the state what they will learn, who will teach them, and what will
become of them. As a parent, you have little or no say in what becomes of your
children, all decisions are made by the government and you accept or become an
enemy of the state.
- The government owns and/or controls the basic means of
production and distribution of services and goods. We are told that business
and other things will be regulated but that we will still be free. Free to do
what? They will operate under the illusion of a free enterprise system.
All business and land, if not owned by the government or
the rich, is controlled and taxed very heavily. What a contradiction of
terms. How can anyone have a Socialist form of government with freedom? As
stated, in a Socialist form of government the rich rule and have the power, not
the people.
Keep in mind the control the government has taken in
recent years of tobacco,
health care, the environment, and the airline industry. Vice
President Al Gore announced new efforts to make air travel safer and Americans
seem eager to accept the further erosion of their rights and pay even higher
tarifs to government to protect them from an unseen enemy. One lady I
recently travelled with told me that she was willing to undergo an extensive
selective search of her luggage "if it would make traveling safer."
Safer than what? I ask. The Clinton administration took advantage of the
crash of TWA 800 to play on the fears of American travellers. It would seem a
foregone conclusion that the airplane was brought down by a terrorist act -
regardless of the fact there is no conclusive evidence to date that it was a
criminal act. Later, in the Bush administration, the terrorist attack on 9/11
only solidified the governments intrusion into the airline industry. The
heightened state of security at American airports is nothing more than another
ploy of the government to further control the airline business and raise
another "hidden" tax to pay for it.
- The creation of a federal or state police force; the purpose
of which is to put down disturbances, political or otherwise, "root" out
political enemies, ensure the loyalty of the people, and enforce laws upon
taxation, population control, religion,
the workplace, and the family unit.
Consider Clinton's now infamous
100,000 more police officers on the street. Along with the government funded of
those officers comes the federal control over how the recipients of the funding
are used. Will this new police force be held accountable like the FBI? Attorney
General Janet Reno promoted Larry Pottswho coordinated the Waco
raid and was censured for his role in the 1992 Ruby Ridge, Idaho, shoot-out --
to deputy director of the FBI.
- The subjection or elimination, generally the latter, of all
religious institutions, with the exception of a state approved and mandated
religion. This "New World Order" institution will also be used to ensure
the loyalty of the people and will be used in the collection of taxes.
The Clinton presidency clearly presented a clear and present
danger to the traditional American way of life that has been grounded in
Judeo-Christian principles. But a much greater danger is on the horizon. This
danger is the socialistic serpentine worldwide government that the Scriptures
say will emerge in the end times (Rev. 13:7-8). This world empire, based in a
reunified Europe, will abrogate the sovereignty of every other nation on the
face of the earth. Its government will be run by godless, amoral Humanists who
will worship the creation rather than the Creator (Romans. 1:25).
The average American Citizen isn't going to give up his
Constitution for some World Government too easily. We and our ancestors have
fought too long and shed too much blood for it to give up easily.
The
plan is for Americans to give up their freedom willingly. Socialist reform is
the only way that a one world order can be established without a direct
military confrontation.
"We can't be so
fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..."
Bill Clinton (USA TODAY, 11 March 1993, page 2A)
Liberal Democratic Tactics
- Corrupt the young.
Get them away from religion and get them interested in sex.
- God was removed from the classroom and replaced with sex
education.
- The sex scandals in Washington elevated the discussion of
salacious topics to the nightly news and daily newspapers. There was probably
no school age person who had not seen or heard about the licentious activities
carried on by the President of the United States.
- President Clinton has been credited with boosting traffic
on X-rated web sites according to a story in CBS MarketWatch, Oct 8, 1998.
"Bill Clinton has brought the vocabulary of sex to mainstream media," Caity
McPherson of Samantha's Online Galleries said. "At parties now, people don't
talk about sex in literary terms. They mention cigars and brunettes. Then they
go on the Web looking for brunettes using sex toys. And I make money!"
- Liberal tacticians repeated over and over again that
President Clinton's adulterous affair is common, saying "everybody does it."
- Control of all means of
publicity and thereby:
- Distract people's minds off their government by focusing
their attention on athletics, sexy books, shows, plays, and sex in general, and
other trivialities.
- Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly
harping on controversial matters of no importance.
- Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by
holding these latter up to ridicule, obloquy, and contempt.
- Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and
ruthlessly as possible.
- Encourage government extravagance, destroy its
credit, produce fear of inflation with
rising prices and general discontent.
- Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage
civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the
government toward such disorders.
- By false arguments cause the breakdown of
moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence,
faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
- Cause the registration of all
firearms on some pretext, with the view of eventually confiscating
them and leaving the population helpless.
For the past 20 years, gun
control measures across the country have gradually become more restrictive. And
with the passage of the Crime Bill in 1994, the most sweeping gun control
legislation in U.S. history, and the Brady Bill, which requires a five-day
waiting period for handgun purchases, gun control advocates appeared to have
gained the upper hand.
- Encourage the passage of legislation that strangles businesses and free enterprise. All must
be done in the name of the consumers and employees. Characterize businesses in
general as the bad guys; sometimes the government, but never
banking
institutions.
- Encourage the passage of Socialist
reforms in the name of "public interest," "the will of the people,"
or any other means.
