The Secret Hand of
China
from http://www.federal.com/nov24-97/Story01.html
(Washington Post)
Opposition to Starr, Thompson and Burton Linked to China
When the People's Republic of China does business in the
U.S., it is often represented by the Asian-American law firm of Perkins Coie,
which maintains a large office in Taipei, Taiwan and is headquartered in the
Pacific Northwest of the U.S. The company prospectus boasts of representing
"numerous PRC entities in connection with manufacturing facilities in the
United States, numerous PRC entities involved in U.S. corporate, real estate
and acquisition matters, as well as numerous PRC state-owned enterprises in
U.S. corporate and trade matters, including import-export, shipping, aviation
and transportation companies."
Moreover, Perkins Coie claims that it maintains
"good relationships with PRC governmental authorities at the central,
provincial and local levels."
As opposed to John Huang and Maria Hsia, who are known to
the FBI as clandestine agents of Communist China, Perkins Coie does not try to hide the fact that it is an agent
of the PRC.
It comes as a great surprise, then, that Perkins Coie
appeared as legal counsel for no less than seven witnesses who appeared before
the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee to testify about illegal fundraising,
focusing on an illegal plan by the government of China to influence U.S.
elections.
One of those represented by Perkins Coie was none other
than Richard Sullivan, the former DNC finance chief responsible for fundraising
during the 1996 presidential campaign.
With the shocking revelation by Bob Woodward that the
Ministry of State Security in Beijing -- the Chinese equivalent of the CIA --
boasted it had been successful in "thwarting" the congressional
inquiry, the Perkins Coie connection becomes even more troubling. Did Perkins
Coie work with Committee Democrats to block the inquiry? The actions of the
Senators speak for themselves. When Sullivan was before the Committee for the
second time, dissembling and evading his way through the flak put up by
Republican Senators, it was Senator Glenn who launched into a filibustering
tirade about the "unfairness" of the investigation. When Chairman
Thompson had to gavel the filibustered hearing to a close without giving
Senator Specter a chance to thoroughly interrogate Sullivan, Glenn reminded
Thompson that he would have to give a three-day advance notice if he wanted to
continue questioning Sullivan. Sullivan was off the hook.
This event was symptomatic of the manner in which
Democrats on the Committee managed to obstruct and delay the progress of the
committee until it had to close because of an imposed deadline. It was then
that the Chinese CIA took credit. Committee Democrats Levin and Toricelli have
both taken money from Chinese agent John Huang, and Senator Glenn has offered
to negotiate on behalf of John Huang.
Starr Vs. China
If China thwarted the Congressional inquiry, what is
China doing about Kenneth Starr and the other independent counsels
investigating the White House? A lot, it seems.
There are two organizations devoted to attacking Starr
and getting negative stories about him in the U.S. media. James Carville's
Education and Information Project and Lynn Cutler's Back to Business Committee.
And who are listed as the incorporators of both committees? None other than Robert Bauer,
Judith Corley and Holly Shadler, all of Perkins Coie.
According to an interview of James Carville by the
American Spectator, it was none other than Bill Clinton's personal lawyer
Robert Barnett of Williams & Connolly, who advised him to seek legal and
financial assistance for his Starr attack with Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie.
It comes as no surprise, then, that both Carville and
Cutler keep the donor lists for their committees a secret. But a few donations
have leaked out anyway. Chinese bag man Johnny Chung has donated $25,000 to the
Back to Business Committee. There is reason to assume that the money came
directly from the Chinese government, since Johhny Chung has received wire
transfers from the Bank of China, a bank owned and operated by the Chinese
government. Johnny Chung has pled the Fifth Amendment. Congressional probers
have also discovered that the group got funding from an Arkansas firm partly owned
by Lippo, where John Huang worked.
Both Carville's and Cutler's organizations have devoted
their efforts to campaigns against Kenneth Starr, Dan Burton, and the Internet.
The White House "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" report
that linked critics of the White House in a global conspiracy was distributed
briefly through the Back to Business web site. And Carville's web site boasts
that his anti-Starr campaign "has generated over 450 stories on the Lexis
Nexis database of major news sources."
Was this what Senator Thompson referred to when he said
intelligence showed Chinese agents "attempting to communicate Beijing's
views through media channels in the United States"?
One thing is clear. The U.S. mainstream media has
uncritically disseminated the propaganda produced by these two organizations.
White House Skunk Works
If Democratic Senators did the bidding of China on the
Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, are they doing the bidding of China in
thwarting the investigation by the Independent Counsels as well? Consider the
following:
Senator Carl Levin has for over a year demanded immense
quantities of paperwork from independent counsels who pose threats to President
Clinton. The independent counsels have no doubts about what Levin is up to.
"This information would go right into the skunk works at the White House
to use against us," a senior lawyer in one of the independent counsel
offices told columnist Bob Novak last week. "But we are not
intimidated."
The Failure of the U.S. Media
Why would the Chinese government thwart an inquiry into
illegal fundraising and corruption at the White House? It is quite simple.
Having contributed so heavily to Bill Clinton's election in 1992 and his
re-election in 1996, it is now merely protecting its investment.
Where is the U.S. media on this unfolding scandal? Why
has nobody reported, much less followed up on, the shocking revelations by Bob
Woodward and William Safire? Safire reported last week that the Justice
Department has not even questioned John Huang, which it knows to be a spy. Why
not?

Obama attorneys aid Obama in illegal activities, Robert
Bauer Perkins Coie help Obama hide birth certificate records, Payments to
attorneys
“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous
private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth
certificate and college records?”…Citizen
Wells and millions of concerned Americans
Robert F. Bauer was a partner in Perkins Coie before
becoming White House Counsel in 2009. Bauer also began defending Barack Obama
in eligibility lawsuits in 2008. Perkins Coie has represented Obama for America
for over 2 years. Bauer is married to Anita (“I look to Chairman Mao”) Dunn.
Here is the payment total to Perkins Coie from Obama for
America for the second quarter 2010.

It is a crime for an attorney to aid a client in illegal
activities. By definition, aiding Obama in hiding his birth certificate and
other records, is a criminal activity if not treasonous.
