Triplett Reviewed by Dr. Jonathan Dolhenty   Here is what the authors have to say -- "Our thesis is simple: The Clinton administration has made a series of Faustian bargains and policy blunders that have allowed a hostile power to further its aims in Washington. In the main, Bill Clinton and Al Gore did it for money... "In these pages, we will show that, in order to gain and hold on to power, the Clinton administration has acted recklessly, allowing the wrong people to gain access to our most important political and economic secrets. Any number of Chinese arms dealers, spies, narcotics traffickers, gangsters, pimps, accomplices to mass murder, communist agents, and other undesirables will appear in these pages, all associated in one way or another with the White House and money... "Did the Clinton administration sell out America's national security to one of this country's leading and most dangerous adversaries merely to raise campaign cash? In the pages that follow, we will prove our answer, which is: yes." If you think this is the mere rantings of right-wing conspirators, think again. Edward Timperlake is on the professional staff of the House Committee on Rules dealing with national security. William C. Triplett is the former chief Republican counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with thirty years' experience working on China and national security. And, after all, what is really important? It is the evidence brought forth. Does the evidence stack up? Can it be verified? Do the pieces of the evidential puzzle fit together? Is the thesis (the conclusion) justified in light of the evidence presented? That's what counts! The American public seems to have its head in the sand when it comes to the Clinton matter (really, matters, as there are so many ethical questions about the Clinton White House). This "matter," at least, isn't about Clinton's sex life. This is about possible treason at the highest levels of our government. You may conclude I am no supporter of our President. You are right. I think the man should do the honorable thing - resign. Bill, Hillary, and the rest of their gang have brought disrepute to the presidency. I have a difficult time listening to the "spin" and the downright illogical arguments of Clinton supporters such as Paul Bagala, James Carville, and Ann Lewis. My head dances from one logical fallacy to another and I cringe at the thought of these people promoting their intellectual insanity over the media. If, after readingYear of the Rat, you still think the Clinton administration is "one of the most ethical in American history" (as Bill promised it would be!), then you need some philosophical reconditioning in a first-class commonsense philosophical realism treatment center. Much of the information reported in this book has not been available before to the public. It includes some previously classified documents. The authors have done a thorough investigation, including combing records in Hong Kong and visiting a Macau criminal syndicate figure. They have interviewed dozens of witnesses, both here and overseas. In short, they have done their homework! The evidence of corruption is staggering: Bill and Al got themselves elected in 1992 and again in 1996 on foreign money, much of it from sources hostile to the United States, including some money from Chinese brothels, for heaven's sake! Chinese campaign cash resulted in policy shifts beneficial to China and harmful to U.S. security. Nearly one hundred potential witnesses to the Clinton-Gore illegal foreign campaign contributions have either fled the country or taken the Fifth Amendment. A half-million dollar check to Clinton's legal defense fund led to Clinton's complete sell-out of Taiwan in July of 1998. Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie, John Huang, and others involved in the Clinton-Gore fund-raising scandals won influence in the Clinton administration with cold hard foreign cash. Hillary Clinton and Ron Brown helped John Huang gain access to vital American policy and economic intelligence. (Of course, Brown isn't around anymore, is he?) And more, and more, and more. This is an eye-opening book, believe me. This book offers serious evidence that Bill Clinton and his associates not only lied to the people of the United States, but betrayed them to potential enemies. But, then, what can one expect from the man who denied: Smoking marijuana, then changed his mind, but didn't inhale; Dodged the draft, then lied about it until he was caught in his lie; Denied having a sexual affair with Gennifer Flowers and then, admitted it when caught later in his web of lies; Lied to the television camera in front of everyone of us about the Monica affair, admitting it only when he was finally caught in his lie; And on, and on, and on. If you think I'm too harsh with the president, think again. I was one who thought Richard Nixon should have gone to prison and I never forgave Gerald Ford for granting him a pardon. I believe no one, including Bill Clinton, is above the law. There are at least 118 people who have been convicted of lying (committing perjury) in a federal civil case, including quite a few who lied about a sexual affair or encounter. So much for those talking-head lawyers who claim perjury in a civil case is never prosecuted. I urge you to purchase and read this book, along with the others we have listed in the Bookstore about the Clinton Administration, which is sure to go down in history as one of the most corrupt (if not THE most corrupt) administration in the history of the United States. If I sound angry, the fact is I am angry. The American people deserve better than Bill and Hillary Clinton. The book may be titled "Year of the Rat." But what does the word "Rat" refer to? Maybe a year in the Chinese calendar? Or maybe the book should have been titled "Years of the Rats," with those occupying that big white house on Pennsylvania Avenue being the "rats." That may be more appropriate. Let me put it bluntly in this Age of Political Correctness. There can be no doubt that at least this presidency is "ethically challenged"! Enough said.
