There’s an old adage in the world of politics: “Follow the Money.” In the recent case of Norman Hsu and his fraudulent fundraising for Hillary Clinton: “following the money” reveals quite an interesting story.
Currently, the Rasmussen Poll has Hillary Clinton with an amazing 23 point lead over her nearest Democrat rival Barack Obama. In the head to head poll against her likely GOP opponent, (either Rudy Giuliani or Fred Thompson), the race is a statistical dead heat. So, with Hillary being this close to the oval office- we should consider what “influence”she might be selling, and who is buying.
Hsu first made news back in August when it was revealed in the Wall Street Journal that he was funneling $250,000 to Hillary’s campaign through suspicious donors like William Paw. Paw lives in a home previously purchased by Hsu in Daly City, CA. The Paw’s only source of income comes from a postal job which pays $49,000 a year. Yet, despite this meager income, in three years, the Paws have given nearly a quarter of a million dollars to Hillary! Something smells fishy.
As a result of this story, a warrant was issued for Hsu’s arrest stemming from a previous charge of grand theft. Hsu pled “no contest” in 1992 to a massive ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of more than $60 million. He jumped bail and had been on the lam for 15 years until caught in Colorado. Just prior to this incident, Hsu had suffered divorce, bankruptcy and ‘kidnapping’ by the San Francisco Triad society run by gang leader Raymond Chow. More on the Triads later.
Beginning in 2006, Hsu re-emerged instructing new investors to contribute to certain “designated” political campaigns. One hundred and fifty people were subsequently reported as Hillary donors, however, one-third of them couldn’t be found at their listed addresses. Each person, despite their modest incomes and questionable political interest, “gave” between $500 and $2,300 generating a grand total of $850,000 traced directly back to Hsu!
Hillary characterized the discovery of this fraud as a “rude awakening to us all” insisting- with a straight face- that “none of us caught this and we all ran searches!” That’s strange, because the Los Angeles Times reported that her campaign was indeed warned last June and that a Clinton aide had even dismissed the concerns. Samantha Wolf, Clinton’s former west coast, campaign finance director wrote, “I can tell you with a hundred percent certainty that Norman Hsu is not involved in a ponzi scheme. He is completely legit.”
Hillary didn’t share Wolf’s rock-solid endorsement. Upon the disclosure of Hsu’s activities, the Clinton campaign quickly went into CYA-mode divesting itself of all inappropriate funds by turning over $850,000 to charity. Unbelievably, the Tennessee Democrat Party and Harold Ford, who were among the “other Democrats” suggested for targeted donation, decided they’d rather keep the dirty Hsu money than forfeit the largesse.
As a further reminder and point of concern for the upcoming election- we shouldn’t forget all the terrible abuses from her spouse’s time in the White House. Remember the “selling of the Lincoln Bedroom” and all those Chinese connections from the 90s-Charlie Trie, John Huang and over a hundred indicted co-conspirators fleeing the country and pleading “the fifth” to avoid prosecution? This “fish” has a pedigree!
The Hsu investigation has led to the discovery of some troubling ties to the Fujian province in China and organized crime. Over $380,000 has been “raised” for Hillary in the poorest areas of New York City. This incredible amount rolling in from poverty-stricken immigrants holding dishwasher and waiter jobs in Chinatown’s restaurants is already 16 times greater than the total amount raised by Kerry in 2004. In most cases, these “donors” are not even registered to vote- if they can be found at all.
In 1993, the FBI indicted over twenty cases of illegal human trafficking involving the Fujian province of China. Due to an overpopulation of young males in China with limited job opportunities, (avg. income is $200/yr.), there’s a growing market for selling ‘slaves’ to Triad associates in America. The Triads operate like the mafia, engaging in extortion, robbery, prostitution, gambling, drugs, and murder. A source from the United Nations calls them “the greatest potential criminal threat the world has ever known!” They have control over the smuggling of illegal Chinese immigrants which is a $3+ billion-a-year business. Each illegal yields an average profit of $40,000.
Between 40,000 and 100,000 Chinese illegals enter the United States every year and these migrants come attached with permanent invisible strings that are controlled by the Triads and their higher authorities in the ChiComm government. Once in America, most of these illegals find themselves deeply in debt to the Triad organizations, and thus, easy targets for extortion and criminal manipulation.
Many of these individuals, now wildly supporting Hillary, come from the Fujian province where they’ve been thrown off their lands so that the government can build industrial complexes. Oun Wu, a $500 per week Chinatown laborer, gave $1,000 to Hillary because- according to him- he was “told to” and he wanted to “save face.”
The Communist clearances have created over 200 million landless Chinese peasants, mostly male. Due to China’s one child policy, many families over the years have aborted their daughters in favor of having a male child. Experts estimate that within the next fifteen years 30 million Chinese males will be unable to find wives! The resulting pressure upon human trafficking will only increase.
But the threat is more serious than an immigration issue. Going back to Bill Clinton’s Chinagate problems- there’s a logical end to this trail of dirty money that should have us all concerned.
Bill Clinton, in a recent Washington Post interview said, “China will likely replace the USA as world leader.” During his administration, he instructed counterintelligence officers to “stand down” on technological transfers to China. Hazel O’Leary, Sect. of D.O.E., was told to declassify eleven million pages of U.S. Nuclear intelligence documents for this purpose. In his globalist philosophy of “share the power,” (ie. Multipolarity), he created an open door to our nuclear and defense technologies that resulted in millions of dollars for his campaign while transferring untold advantages to the ChiComm military. Before Clinton, we had nothing to fear from the woeful Chinese missile technology or “suitcase nukes,” now we do! Remember, Clinton allowed the Panama Canal to go to China in 1997 and would have sold the Long Beach Naval yard to
China too, if angry protests hadn’t derailed the deal.
In the mid-90s, ChiComm General Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chang “we like your president. We want to see him re-elected.” Clinton’s top donors in 1992 were Chinese Agents, involving the Lippo Group and others. In 1996, those topping the donor list were defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Hughes Electronics, Loral Space and others. Commerce Sect. Ron Brown served as a liaison in many of these deals and was suddenly killed in a suspicious plane crash in 1996 just as the Chinagate stories were beginning to break. Follow the Money!
China’s Defense Minister, Gen. Chi Haotian, said in 2000, “war [with the U.S.] is inevitable; we cannot avoid it. The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war.”
If the polls are right and the trend continues, Hillary could be our next president. The American People should pause long and hard before deciding: is this our best choice for Commander-in-Chief, or just the best opportunity - for the other Hsu to drop?

To Catch a Christian Predator
To Catch a Christian Predator
President George Washington, in his Farewell Address of 1796, said:
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness.
John Adams, echoed Washington with this comment, “our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The Radical Homosexual Agenda is working now to subvert these ‘patriotic pillars of religion and morality’ by seeking to muzzle the Bible and shut down all criticism of sexual perversion. “Sodomy” gets its very name from the place God judged for these sins- “Sodom and Gomorrah!” Yet, if the current Hate Crimes bill passes into law, such references will be criminalized throughout the nation as illegal thoughts and expressions subject to fines and imprisonment! This Big Brother grab for power by the Gay Gestapo is nothing more than an outright attack on the Christian Religion. The “Gay Pride Parades,” “Heather Has Two Mommies” school curriculum and public campaigns against such leaders as Gen. Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who said “homosexual acts…are immoral,” is part of the overall Liberal strategy to radically change America by undermining ‘the foundation’ Washington wanted us to preserve.
Last Sunday, San Francisco hosted their annual Folsom Street Fair which they describe as the“Largest Leather Event in the World.” It’s nothing more than a taxpayer-supported celebration of sadomasochism and anti-Christian licentiousness. There are sex acts performed openly in the streets, debauchery of all kinds and the overt mocking of God and Christians. Obscenity laws are ignored as even the Police Chief and Mayor often take part in the revelry. Amazingly, children are permitted to attend and see all of this sick behavior.
A local resident called it “a combination freak show and simple excuse for people to come together and enjoy their fetishes.” Matt Barber, a California conservative activist, remarked that the “base of the homosexual community is vehemently anti-Christian.” Peter LaBarbera, another observer, says “San Francisco is shaking its fist at God. Their intent is to mock God, to mock Christianity. It is blasphemy at its worst.”
Perhaps topping the list of anti-Christian exhibitionism is a group of transvestite “nuns,” who call themselves the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” They insult and mock Christ as part of their annual routine, dressing in religious garb and making jokes out of Christian hymns. One participant was seen strolling down the street tearing pages out of a Bible. For all of this bad conduct in the past, many are saying that this year- with their 2007 promotional poster- they’ve gone too far!
The official poster of this year’s Folsom Street Fair was a blasphemous depiction of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. The Apostles were replaced with half-naked men in leather, and the communion table was filled with sex toys! It was so repulsive that Miller Brewing Company, a sponsor of the event, asked to have its name removed from the poster. The promoters denied the request, saying it was too late to change it.
It’s interesting to note that while all of this perversion is allowed to go on: the Marines are prohibited from filming a recruiting commercial in the streets of San Francisco; the ROTC are thrown off school grounds; and, the WWII battleship (USS Iowa) is rejected from their ports!
This San Francisco attitude fits in nicely with the frequent Homosexual chant of: “racist, sexist, anti-gay, born again bigots go away!” As 75 year old grandmother Arlene Elshinnawy might say, “truth is hate to those who hate the truth!”
Arlene Elshinnawy, along with ten other Christians, were arrested Oct. 10, 2004 in Philadelphia at the “Outfest” Gay Parade for the ‘crime’ of attempting to share their faith in public. The three felonies and five misdemeanors they were charged with carry a potential sentence of 47 years in jail. It was the first time in America that preaching the Bible became evidentiary basis for a hate crime. They were handcuffed and taken away even though it was the “Pink Angels,” a homosexual group with whistles and cardboard angels, who were threatening the peace and intimidating the Christians.
There are several more instances of this type of “upside down” justice. A child in a south California school is being told to “leave his faith” at home, an Idaho man has been fined for displaying Bible verses at work, a mother in Colorado has been ordered by a judge to not teach her daughter anything “homophobic.” In Pennsylvania, a pastor is facing a prison sentence for reading from the Bible, and in a West Virginia school students are trained to roam the halls in search of verbal offenses to report to Law Enforcement. Is this the America we want to live in? It sounds like Big Brother to me.
Aldous Huxley in “Brave New World” wrote:
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase, and the dictator…will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope, movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.
The UN has been working for years on a global scale to legitimize homosexuality as a human right while eliminating all other religious viewpoints. There are examples from Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, New Zealand and other nations where the preaching of ‘Homosexuality as a Sin’ is criminalized in the name of fighting Hate Crimes. In Canada, William Whatcott was fined $17,500 for simply explaining the dangers of this lifestyle. Sodomites, according to Whatcott, are “430 times more likely to acquire AIDS and three times more likely to sexually abuse children.”
Last Thursday the US Senate passed S. 1105 with 81% of Republicans voting NO and 100% of the Democrats voting YES. Joe Solmonese, spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign said “today we are the closest we have ever been to seeing protections ensured for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community. Congress has taken a historic step forward…the US Senate has sent a clear message to every corner of our country.”
President Bush has promised to Veto it.
There remains one more hurdle before final passage. The Democrats have irresponsibly attached this dangerous piece of legislation to a military spending bill. Dem. Sen. Ted Kennedy, who sponsored the bill, explained it this way: “a hate crimes amendment SHOULD BE attached to the Defense Authorization bill because members of the US military commit a significant number of hate crimes.”
But what about the constitutional validity of this law? Former Reagan Attorney General said:
Congress only has express constitutional jurisdiction over three crimes: treason, counterfeiting and piracy on the high seas. Because the federal government is one of limited and enumerated powers, Congress must find authorization in other constitutional clauses to federalize particular crimes or such acts would violate federalist principles, the Tenth Amendment, or other structural limits in the constitution.”
A concerned watchdog group characterized it this way:
Criminalizing thoughts as well as actions, and creating special categories of victims is unconstitutional. This action undermines the promise of equal protection under the law guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. This legislation creates second-class victims and a legal system of 'separate and unequal.'
In a recent New Hampshire case, because a thief uttered an anti-Homosexual remark during the commission of a crime he now faces ten times the punishment under that state’s current, Hate Crimes law.
San Francisco has given us a lot over the years: the Haight Ashbury Hippie movement, Berkeley’s Counterculture, Anton Lavey’s Church of Satan, Charles Manson, the Zodiac Killer and the organization of the UN. The Homosexual Mafia may be the worst of them all. In 1993, the so-called “Year of the Queer,” Nancy Pelosi, House Representative from San Francisco, gave Bill Clinton’s Presidential Address to the 300,000 attendees of the Homosexual Rights March in D.C. Not far away was the Washington Monument signifying the Father of Our Country and his legacy. It makes one wonder: will Hate Crimes Legislation mark the final blow to our political prosperity as a nation? No doubt Washington and Adams would allow for that possibility. One thing is for sure: God will not be mocked forever!

Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness
On Aug. 9, 2007, Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt was exonerated from all charges in the Haditha incident of 2005 where Iraqi citizens were killed in a firefight with insurgents.. It’s been over two months now, and no apology seems to be forthcoming from Democrat Congressman Jack Murtha who relished the occasion back in 2006 to criticize our troops. I guess he only calls press conferences when there’s bad news to report about the military!
Lt. Col. Paul Ware, court martial officer, declared Sharratt’s actions were “in accordance with the rules of engagement and use of force.” He further stated that such unwarranted accusations set a “dangerous precedent that may encourage others to bear false witness against Marines as a tactic to erode public support of the Marine Corps and its mission in Iraq.”
It was in May 2006, that Murtha publicly and emphatically called Sharratt and others “murderers” who “killed innocent Iraqi citizens in cold blood.” Apparently, Murtha, (once a Marine himself, now downgraded to “EX-Marine”), in his over-eagerness to take political advantage of some bad war news, failed to see the wisdom in affording these brave soldiers the benefit of the doubt and the presumption of innocence before condemning them!
Should we be surprised?
Liberals are quick to go the extra mile in the “presumption of innocence” when it comes to sexual predators, terrorists, drug dealers and rapists, but when our soldiers are the ones under suspicion, (however unwarranted), they’re the first ones in line shouting “throw the switch!” Their duplicitous behavior reminds me of an anti-war protest banner I saw recently that read, “We Support Our Troops When They Shoot Their Officers.”
In the slippery, slimy world of Liberalism- one finds many interesting things hiding under the rocks of “convenient” propaganda opportunities. This Haditha story is a case in point.
It all started when Time Magazine-reporter Tim McGirk obtained a video from a “human rights organization” known to be sympathetic to the Sunni-insurgents. That alone should have been a tip-off to the credibility of the source, but not for liberal reporters anxious to fan the flames of anti-war dissent back home!
The video was shot in a planned raid where the insurgents positioned innocent Iraqis as human shields, anticipating the return fire from American soldiers under assault. The plan was to then use the carnage captured on tape for the on-going propaganda war waged through their willing accomplises in the media and other “useful idiots.” Time Magazine and Murtha stepped-in like real “champs” for the enemies of our soldiers!
In March of 2006 the PHONY story came out regarding the Haditha firefight and in a matter of weeks Murtha was pounding the podium in Washington demanding a withdrawal from Iraq, and defeat for America. The Liberals seized upon the news in a feeding frenzy sensing the “My Lai” they’d long been waiting for!
What a difference a few months make! As a consequence of Gen. Petraeus’ successful Surge Strategy, now the U.S. military is claiming we have made “devastating” and “irreversible” blows to al-Qaeda Iraq. Many officials are actually advocating for some kind of “Declaration of Victory!” There’s even talk of soon turning over operations to the Army and moving all Marines out of Iraq and into Afghanistan! How is this possible when Democrat “experts” like Murtha and Reid have long proclaimed that it’s “over” and we “lost?”
Now, Ex-Marine Murtha may have more to worry about than NOT losing the war in Iraq.
A Federal Judge is calling on him to testify in court. Marine Sgt. Frank Wuterich- one of the “Haditha Eight”- has filed a libel suit against the Congressman for defamation and invasion of privacy. Judge Rosemary Collyer characterized the situation this way:
“You [Congressman Murtha] are writing a very wide road for members of congress to go to their home districts and say anything they choose about private persons and be able to do so without liability. Are you sure you want to do that? How far can a congressman go and still be protected?”
We shall see.
Both, the concerns of Lt. Col Ware and Judge Collyer, are valid. There’s another recent
example where Army Pvt. Scott Thomas Beachamp falsely accused soldiers of gross and barbaric behavior in Iraq, with no corroborating evidence whatsoever. And, of course, there’s the now infamous case of Jesse MacBeth- subject of a recent Rush Limbaugh show- where he claimed to be an Army Ranger who “routinely” committed war crimes in Iraq. As it turned out, he got kicked out of basic training and then joined a group who welcomed him with open arms- the anti-War Left, where lying is a virtue!
It’s hard to say whether these “fifth column” propaganda stunts will ultimately succeed in thwarting our military objectives in Iraq? One thing’s for sure- they certainly don’t help,
and they’re not very encouraging to our troops!
Perhaps the worst thing going on now with the Democrat Congress is their plan- led by Tom Lantos- to issue a resolution, (HR 106), formally denouncing Turkey for the “genocide” of one and a half million Armenians 90 years ago. Why is this so crucial?
Turkey is an indispensable ally for us in the Iraq war and they are threatening to withdraw their support if this “insulting” resolution passes. Turkey has NATO’s second largest army and they’re also NATO’s only Muslim member. More importantly, within their borders we have perhaps our most strategic military base in the region: Incirlik. Seventy percent of our flights, one third of our fuel and much of our water supplies for the Iraqi theater goes through Incirlik! Maintaining Turkish support is vital for winning the war in Iraq. However, because of this Resolution, Turkish General Yasar Buyukanit is saying “military ties with the U.S. will never be the same again!”
When asked about the possibility of canceling or postponing this vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi objected saying, “the measure’s timing is important because many of the [Armenian] survivors are very old.” As Republican Representative Jim Boehner rightly said, “what happened 90 years ago is a subject for historians, not politicians in Washington!” How crazy and inept can these Democrats be? It seems we’re back to “Jimmy Carter-style” diplomacy! Everyone check your brain at the door!
Actually, when you consider how invested the Democrats are in defeat, it makes perfect sense! In the case of Murtha, Lantos, Pelosi et al, “bearing false witness” may just be saving them from having to admit to a greater sin- ie. conspiring against our military in a time of war for the purpose of obtaining greater political advantage for themselves and their Party!

And, of course, there’s the now infamous case of Jesse MacBeth- subject of a recent Rush Limbaugh show- where he claimed to be an Army Ranger who “routinely” committed war crimes in Iraq. As it turned out, he got kicked out of basic training and then joined a group who welcomed him with open arms- the anti-War Left, where lying is a virtue!
It’s hard to say whether these “fifth column” propaganda stunts will ultimately succeed in thwarting our military objectives in Iraq? One thing’s for sure- they certainly don’t help,
and they’re not very encouraging to our troops!
Perhaps the worst thing going on now with the Democrat Congress is their plan- led by Tom Lantos- to issue a resolution, (HR 106), formally denouncing Turkey for the “genocide” of one and a half million Armenians 90 years ago. Why is this so crucial?
Turkey is an indispensable ally for us in the Iraq war and they are threatening to withdraw their support if this “insulting” resolution passes. Turkey has NATO’s second largest army and they’re also NATO’s only Muslim member. More importantly, within their borders we have perhaps our most strategic military base in the region: Incirlik. Seventy percent of our flights, one third of our fuel and much of our water supplies for the Iraqi theater goes through Incirlik! Maintaining Turkish support is vital for winning the war in Iraq. However, because of this Resolution, Turkish General Yasar Buyukanit is saying “military ties with the U.S. will never be the same again!”
When asked about the possibility of canceling or postponing this vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi objected saying, “the measure’s timing is important because many of the [Armenian] survivors are very old.” As Republican Representative Jim Boehner rightly said, “what happened 90 years ago is a subject for historians, not politicians in Washington!” How crazy and inept can these Democrats be? It seems we’re back to “Jimmy Carter-style” diplomacy! Everyone check your brain at the door!
Actually, when you consider how invested the Democrats are in defeat, it makes perfect sense! In the case of Murtha, Lantos, Pelosi et al, “bearing false witness” may just be saving them from having to admit to a greater sin- ie. conspiring against our military in a time of war for the purpose of obtaining greater political advantage for themselves and their Party!
