The impeachment trial of William Jefferson Clinton barely was over
when loyalists suggested that those who crossed swords with this
president would be singled out for punishment. Those familiar with the
current occupants of the White House know that these people do not
believe in turning the other cheek. While Bill was telling the nation
he truly was sorry for his misdeeds and the pain he had caused his
family and his country, his minions made it clear that they were out to
destroy the House managers who were charged with presenting the case
against him in the Upper Chamber.
Apparently they feel Clinton’s enemies have to be destroyed in order
to deter others. He has made too many compromises, cut too many
corners, covered up too many actions, and bent the law too many times.
Ask filmmaker Pat Matrisciana, who, until just recently, has been one
of Clinton’s most successful enemies. Matrisciana’s videos, the
Clinton Chronicles, Obstruction of Justice, Mena Cover-up, 60 Minutes
Deception, The Death of Vince Foster and Bill Clinton’s Rise to
Power, have made him a household word, although they have been only
a sideline. Matrisciana has been in the production business for 20
years and his company, Jeremiah films, has produced religious and
educational videos and documentaries that have aired on all the major
networks here and abroad. He has over 100 videos, books and CDs in his
current catalogue from evangelical tools like God’s Story to
No Second Chance, a video on AIDS which has been adapted for use
by the U.S. military.
However, these last two years Jeremiah Films has managed just to stay
afloat because of a $16 million “defamation” lawsuit filed by two
Pulaski County sheriff’s officers. Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane were
briefly identified in Obstruction of Justice as suspects
implicated in the 1987 murders of two Arkansas teenagers, Kevin Ives and
Don Henry. In order to win their lawsuit the plaintiffs must prove that
Matrisciana falsely singled them out with reckless disregard for the
facts. However, Obstruction of Justice was assembled
painstakingly based on years of documentation compiled by Linda Ives,
the mother of one of the victims, and Jean Duffey, who headed a drug
task force in Arkansas’ Seventh Judicial District, whose investigation
led straight to the murdered boys.
The reference to the two officers in Matrisciana’s video was taken
from police files and news reports. When Western Journalism Center’s
Joseph Farah, who often is called as an expert witness in defamation
cases, heard about this lawsuit, he volunteered his services saying, “If
Matrisciana is found guilty you can throw the First Amendment out the
window.”
Nevertheless, the lawsuit has been so expensive that just six weeks
before the trial is set to begin Matrisciana has exhausted his
resources, which may have been the point. The big question is how are
these two lowly police officers paying their lawyers who cannot be
working on a contingency.
What do the murders of these two teenage boys have to do with Bill
Clinton? The evidence points to the fact that the boys were killed
after they accidentally stumbled on a drug drop from Mena, Ark. Bill
Clinton’s medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, quickly ruled their deaths
“accidental,” saying the teenagers had fallen asleep on the railroad
tracks after smoking marijuana when they were run over by a train.
After a public outcry, their bodies were exhumed and a team of seven
forensic experts from out of state determined that one of the boys had
been struck on the head, the other stabbed in the back before their
bodies were laid out on the tracks. The investigation of these murders
was covered up in Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation was called in, but after Bill Clinton became
president, the FBI investigation was shut down and the Ives were told
that there was no evidence that a crime was committed.
With facts such as these exposed, you can see why Bill Clinton’s
enemies are considered too dangerous to leave unpunished.
