Fair Game: The Movie, "Plus ca change, plus la meme chose."
The excerpt below is from a very fine article by Mary McGrory of The Washington Post written in 2001 entitled "Overdue Bill" about Bill Clinton's controversial pardon of international fugitive Marc Rich whose wife contributed heavily to the Clinton campaign for the Presidency. You can get it from the Post's archives by contacting Ms. Katharine Weymouth, Publisher, 202-334-7100 and asking for her. Here is the link to the quote and here is the quote below that link (in red and blue on this blog):
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.co
Actually, the most help given to [Bill Clinton] was rendered, reluctantly, by a Republican witness, Lewis Libby, who is called "Scooter" and who was [Marc Rich]'s longtime lawyer. Libby is now the chief of staff for Vice President Cheney, who is happily engaged in making the Bush White House a temple of regular order -- something seldom seen in the Clintonian pardon process. Libby said he did not believe the fugitive billionaire was guilty as charged, which gave grudging support to Clinton's contention that he made his incendiary decision "on the merits."
Three of Clinton's closest aides, with their attorneys, testified to their opposition to the pardon. Former chief of staff John Podesta, sardonic and terse, added the name of the king of Spain to the list of Rich lobbyists who bombarded the staff the final hours. Counsel [Beth Nolan] gave the valuable summary of the underlying problem and confirmed, under Republican questioning, another irregularity in the proceedings: Cheryl Mills, who had resigned as deputy White House counsel in October and is a Clinton library trustee, was in and out of the pardon meetings. Senior adviser Bruce Lindsey, famously tight-lipped and loyal, freely confessed to opposing his principal.

Who Owns "The Chirilagua" in Alexandria, Virginia?
http://alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/planning/info/Arlandria/ArlandriaDevelopersForumBios.pdf
I'd bet they wouldn't t like what the City of Alexandria is doing if they learned what was really going on as far as decisionmaking over their property. The restaurant tax hike to pay for buying two cashiered broken down buses from the Gold Line to ferry people from the King Street Metro to the waterfront for $800,000 where they will board a ferry boat to the National Harbor development across the Potomac in Maryland?. How the Arlington County Board across Four Mile Run said it would "opt out" of the Department of Homeland Security's "Secure Communities" program. How affluent shoppers who venture down to this home of many terror suspects and undocumented workers are harassed if they call the police for protection against criminals. like the ones who mugged an off-duty Fairfax County law officer at an ATM right off Reed Avenue and Mt. Vernon Avenues. How there is no law enforcement, only harassment for citizens who go eat in such places like RT's. All of that stuff. Well, Google might not like this with its lucrative government contract with the Arlington Police Department but they are being hoisted on their own petard here.

Google is a government contractor
The geeky execs of goole came from the intelligence community and made a bundle cashing in on their IT knowledge they got at NSA becoming multibillionaires in the process. They now operate a site on FACEBOOK for the Arlington County Police Department. They also provide this site so I have been unalbe to post anything today becase I sent in a complaint to the ICE at DHS indicating some pertinent info about Arlington County's desire to opt out of the ICE's "secure communities" program which was reported by the intrepid Scott McCaffrey edior of the Arlington News. Thumbs up for Scottie!

Our Leaders Are All Corrupt - We Should More Than Question Them
Our national leaders think we are in their way. We are inconvenient to them. We want them to do their jobs while that is the very last thing they want to do. They want to enhance their resumes at our expense. They just have us in the way of getting and keeping a perfect resume. If you want to have our leaders listen to you, start a corporation.
Here's why:
The Subject of This Complaint is Denial of Civil Rights to a United States Citizen under color of law on the basis of race, ethnic origin, gender and/or religious beliefs as prohibited by federal law.
I experienced harassment by Alexandria City police pursuant to my complaint against the City of Alexandria alleging denial of voting rights. Although this complaint was resolved in my favor, as the voting officials of the city were found to have indeed engaged in malfeasance and/or misfeasance against me as a United Sates citizen, I soon thereafter was the victim of vicious misfeasance and malfeasance by local police officials such that I was denied equal protection of the laws under the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution extended to the State of Virginia by the 14h Amendment. This denial of civil rights under color of law was perpetrated by officers of the law, Alexandria City police officials.
As my right to vote has already been tampered with by the city of Alexandria, consider this part of the original complaint part of the pattern and practice alleged in the original complaint submitted to voting rights officials in the City of Alexandria or as a separate pattern and practice of police conduct independent of that original action taken against me. I do not expect a good faith effort to protect my rights in the City of Alexandria, and I expect even more police and other official harassment on both state and local levels as well as by the federal government.
I understand that Mayor William Euille holds a law degree from the most distinguished Quinnipiac School of Law, and as I am only a graduate of the George Washington University Law School, without a group of fine outstanding Virginia lawyers to assist me, I hope you do not dismiss my complaint lightly.
I wish to establish here a pattern and practice of discrimination against me as a United States citizen in the City of Alexandria.
I also wish to establish that there is a case where the United States Supreme Court struck down an ordinance or statue against loitering and disorderly conduct in the rural South during the Civil Rights Movement. The facts involved Civil Rights workers sitting in a car near a levee perhaps and arrested by the police. The civil rights workers were of both the Caucasian and African American race or whatever current euphemism is now being recognized by the courts but at that time, I believe the term used by the majority in that case, indicated “Negro.”
The majority opinion, written by Justice William O. Douglas, struck down the local ordinance or state statute prohibiting loitering and/or disorderly conduct as “void for vagueness.” Pursuant to that decision, an ordinance believed to be so narrowly tailored as to survive scrutiny by the court was passed by the City of Alexandria. That statute prohibited loitering or disorderly conduct for the purpose of selling drugs. In 1981, the United States Supreme Court struck down that Alexandria City ordinance specifically giving a clear message to the police of the city of Alexandria that such a statute was unconstitutional.
Despite that history, the city of Alexandria persists in arresting United States Citizens under color of law for loitering and disorderly conduct. In fact, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, under the William Jefferson Clinton Administration on many occasions has also prosecuted United States citizens on federal property under disorderly conduct charges, such that United States Citizens developed arrest records which were never expunged due to the misconduct of court appointed criminal attorneys who were never disciplined by the Virginia Bar for malfeasance and/or misfeasance in providing ineffective assistance of counsel. Such ineffective assistance of counsel as well as prosecutorial misconduct resulted in the deprivation of United States Citizens of their 5th Amendment rights under color of law.
Both the Assistant United States attorneys and the Court appointed Virginia attorneys who defended these United States Citizens being prosecuted in the Eastern District of Virginia should be disbarred by the Virginia bar and the Office of the Inspector General of the United States Department of Justice inspect the case files of all those appointed by the court in the Eastern District of Virginia under the Administration of William Jefferson Clinton as president of the United States to determine whether these court appointed attorneys were engaging in waste, fraud and abuse in obtaining United States Criminal Justice Act funds.
I did not originally wish to send this communication as my impression of Mayor Euille is that he is ineffectual, even in such matters as pertaining to the provision of electric power in a city following a storm. Mayor Euille was a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, he told us in an unforgettable speech once, when such men as Phil Hirschberg were law students at George Washington University working on the U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia. In other words, Mayor Euille was living in a state where it was an offense for an African American man to marry a white woman, just several years after the birth of Barack Hussein Obama in Hawaii and he was attending law school at a time when the now sitting president of the United States was born.
At that time, Mayor Euille found no crying need to challenge the deprivation of civil rights of United States citizens of his own race. However, he was so proud to tell us in a speech he made that he was working with the Alexandria Junior Chamber of Commerce.
It seems to me that with a man like that as mayor I would be wasting my time with such complaints as I am bringing now.
However, as I desire no more police misconduct and acts of harassment against me, I am writing this particular letter.
