On 10/3/08, retired Four-Star General Wesley Kanne Clark took part in a discussion about International Justice at the UCLA Law School. Clark, who had been Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) of NATO during Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo War, insisted that international justice is important but in conflict with the long history in the United States of acting as seen fit in the moment.
Clark gave examples of the US-driven coups in Iran, Guatemala and Chile, but failed to mention Operation Gladio, which, under NATO and CIA cover with help from extremist-right fascist secret societies, utilized false-flag terrorism against innocent civilians in Europe after World War II. He also, of course, failed to mention his connections with the leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who were known to have committed atrocities against civilians, were closely linked to Al-Qaeda (Al-CIA-duh!) and seriously involved in the international heroin trade.
So, I decided to bring it up after the talk was over while Clark was yacking it up about his debate the night before with Karl Rove. Incidentally, Clark has been alleged to have said-whether seriously or not is debated- that the only reason that he is a registered Democrat is because Rove didn’t return his phone calls.
Clark first appeared to play dumb or uninterested when I mentioned Operation Gladio, but then felt the need to respond when I brought up the KLA. He responded only by saying, “I heard the Soviets say that.” Then realized he had betrayed his Cold War mentality, and fixed it by saying “I heard the Russians say it.” He could only nod reluctantly when I said “Western historians don’t deny that sir, right?” He then deliberatively repeated “I heard the Russians say that.” If it was some type of coded-language that I was supposed to get, I didn’t. Then, quickly, it was agreed that it was time for lunch.
I pressed on and asked him, while he walked to lunch, whether he thought the mimetic war-games that took place on 9/11 were a coincidence. He shrugged it off like it was a joke. I waited for some other folks to talk with him while dodging some of the various handlers trying to fend me off of the put-upon general. And then, after reminding him of his ertion that the 9/11 investigation had not been finished by the Commission, and erting that I took Article III Section 3 of the Constitution to mean that a cover-up of an act of war is treason, I asked him again if he thought those mimetic war-games were a coincidence on 9/11. He never gave an answer, except for saying “c’mon” after I asked him if his silence was an answer of some sort.
So, all in all, Clark’s responses to some serious allegations and questions were:
1) “I heard the Russians say that”
and
2) “…”
Maybe I shouldn’t have “overwhelmed him.” It’s just that I expect much more from a man who took an oath to willingly kill or be killed to defend our Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Saying that “we’ve never finished the investigation of 9/11″ or musing “whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had,” and then not answering a sincere questioner is just not going to cut it from an alleged patriot at this late date of an all-out Constitutional and civilizational crisis.
And I don’t think it could even be argued that Clark is dim-witted or ignorant. He has consistently excelled wherever he is operating, was valedictorian of his class at West Point and later awarded a Rhodes Scholarship.
Clark also received a Knighthood and is recognized by Britain as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. The motto of this Order is “For God and the Empire.” Maybe that’s part of the problem.
Finally, in recognition of the hypocrisy of this man speaking about “International Justice,” note that Clark has given public support for the “School of the Americas,” now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, where many dictators and death-squads have been trained over the decades in such un-American arts as torture and psychological warfare. Many of the graduates of this school have perpetrated numerous international injustices, war crimes and political murders. So, I vote for no more talk from Mr. Clark about justice of any kind until he fesses up about the hard and dark facts that must be faced in order to create the beautiful future our descendants deserve and our ancestors dream.

Obama & His Islamic Supremacist Benefactor. In a videotaped interview this year on New Yorks all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama. Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama. I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him, Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter. The friends name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas, Sutton said. He is the principal adviser to one of the worlds richest men. He told me about Obama. Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obamas application to Harvard Law School? He wrote to me about him, Sutton recalled. And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him? Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansours advice. I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly, Sutton told NY1. Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obamas behalf. A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story. As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University inNew York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago. The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country. The details of Obamas academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna laude. Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools. I am not surprised to learn about this, said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). It is clear that Barack Obamas ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years. Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel. A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.
