The 'Billary' Factor


Roy Murtishaw

As a life-long Arkansan for 64 years ..and counting, thankfully... I voted for Bill Clinton at every opportunity during his Arkansas years and I even attended his inauguaration in January,1993.

Sadly,I regret I did not explore the Clintons more diligently back then.

Had I looked even a little deeper,beneath the tightly controlled local media coverage at that time; I would have discovered their highly questionable morality. My complaints center chiefly from their self-serving hypocrisy which absolutely knows no bounds. As Hillary's duplicity in Bill's deeply ingrained amorality extends far beyond mere "guilt by association", I believe each should be judged, not only by their own actions , but also by the actions of the other.

Hillary shares blame equally with Bill's history of dismal Arkansas decisions and should share that blame ...blame for his condoning of the world wide marketing of AIDS/virulent hepatitis tainted blood drawn from Arkansas' prison inmates which continued unabated , despite the profound known risks, throughout the 'Billary' 12-year Arkansas gubernatorial reign (google Factor 8), blame for his turning a blind eye to 15-year-old Janie Ward's murder and subsequent cover up still continuing now decades later (google Janie Ward ); ditto for the murders of 16-year-olds Kevin Ives and Don Henry ( google
'The Boys on the Tracks 'and/or Mara Leveritt ),blame for the atrocious conduct of major associates,e.g. Fahmy Malek M.D. Medical Examiner (google Fahmy Malek).

After Bill Clinton's 1980 upset loss to investment banker, Frank White, following a first term which featured some courageous idealism, 'Billary' defeated White in 1982 by forswearing those ideals and totally allying themselves thereafter with Arkansas' most unsavory Corporate interests. The Clintons never again challenged the gross environmental pollution practices of the Tyson Poultry Industry,never again challenged the Stephens Financial Imperialism, never again challenged the Waltons' gross employment/marketing/vendor bullying, never challenged Arkansas' incredibly inequitable regressive taxation policy,never challenged the blatant racism extant in every fiber of Arkansas' cultural fabric.

When 'Billary' graduated from the Arkansas Statehouse to the Whitehouse, they championed every elitest/globalist program the check signers dictated and sold out the disadvantaged and middle classes they've conned repeatedly for thirty years.

Any serious examination of the Clintons' Arkansas years should derail Hillary's Corporatist ambitions..... if America still represented a just and sane society.
