"That was intense...this is
big...could you see my jaw dropping?" Those comments peppered Matt
Drudge's conversation right after he emerged from taping an interview
with ex-Arkansas trooper L.D. Brown in Washington Saturday for
broadcast later that night on his Fox TV show. Brown was repeating for
Drudge what he'd said about the torrid affair he'd witnessed between
Hillary Clinton and White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster, alleged
"suicide" victim. He had earlier spoken before an audience of 4,000
who had gathered at the pro-impeachment rally four hours earlier. But
Drudge never asked the next, stake-doubling question, as NewsMax did:
"What did the President know and when did he know it?"
Not only was Bill Clinton
aware his wife was sleeping with Vince Foster, Brown told NewsMax, but
Vince and Hillary had been passionate in front of the President on
more than one occasion. "Once Bill and one of his long-time lovers
were having dinner with her husband, Hillary and Vince and Lisa
Foster," Brown tells NewsMax. "The three couples had been given the
bottom floor of the restaurant all to themselves and the wine was
flowing. By the end of the evening Bill and his lover and Vince and
Hillary were being openly sexual with each other." Brown was the only
other person present on that occasion and describes for NewsMax how
the tipsy sixsome paired off on a walk from the restaurant to a
private house.
"Lisa Foster and the
husband of Bill's lover walked ahead in clear deference to the others.
Vince and Hillary and Bill and his lover then paired off. Both couples
were kissing and hugging. Vince would have his arm around Hillary
feeling her breast, or her ass, and Bill and his girlfriend were going
at it too."
Brown added that on another
occasion the same three couples were together at the Governor's
mansion and, after several glasses of wine, "Vince and Hillary and
Bill and his lover started kissing and fondling in front of each
other." Brown not only witnessed the physical affection between Vince
and Hillary and Bill and his lover during the 1980s, but also listened
as Hillary talked to him about her affair with Vince Foster during
late-night chats at the Governor's mansion. Brown, who was in a
troubled first marriage himself at the time, recalls: "I would talk to
Hillary about my uncertainty of where my marriage was heading, about
the wrongness of adultery and my guilty feelings. Hillary would tell
me not to worry, and that sometimes you had to go outside your
marriage to get what you needed."
Brown said it was always
understood that Bill and Hillary's marriage was nothing more than a
partnership in power. "You never saw them touch or kiss, even when one
of them was leaving on a trip."
If restating his knowledge
of the Clinton-Foster affair at a nationally televised rally and
providing this new information to NewsMax does not shine a national
spotlight on the massive cover-up perpetrated by both official
investigations into the death of Vince Foster, then what will? Brown
asks. "So far all I'm certain will come of restating my knowledge of
the affair publicly" says Brown, who still lives in Little Rock, "is
that it will bring more trouble for me and my family."
Brown says he has not only
been quoted in books and magazines about the affairs to no avail but
that the Clintons' grip on the mainstream media is so powerful that an
extensive ABC television interview he did with top correspondent Jim
Wooten was suppressed after White House Counsel David Kendall heard of
it and met with ABC executives. On September 30, 1998, Brown filed a
legal complaint with the Washington D.C. Bar Association, accusing
Kendall of slandering him.
So discouraged was Brown
when he came to Washington for the rally that the original speech he
showed NewsMax made no mention of the Foster-Clinton affair. Wondering
whether talking about the affair again would really make a difference,
Brown was assured by Newsmax that journalistically it should, if there
is any sort of unbiased mainstream press left in this country.
On the eve of the rally, as
Brown mulled over what to say, the rumor that "L.D. may talk about
Vince 'n Hillary," raged like fire through Arkansas tumbleweed among
the hundreds of Free Republic supporters crowding into the lobby of
the Premier Hotel in Washington. Heartened, Brown decided to go for
it. Crowds flocked in for the Free Republic sponsored rally from
almost every state, and from as far away as Honolulu. To them, Brown
is a key anti-Clinton prophet, reluctant though he has always been to
assume such a mantle.
For one thing, Brown was
more than Governor Clinton's bodyguard; he was his confidant, a
Clinton soul-mate often referred to in jealous tones as Bill's
fair-haired boy. For another, this articulate, handsome, well-dressed
man who recently earned his Ph.D. would clearly prefer to put the past
behind him rather than become a professional Clinton critic. It is
only his fear that the country, indeed the world, can't survive much
more Clinton-style abuse of power that forces him to speak out, he
says.
"L.D. is the real deal. He
was at Clinton's side in Little Rock. He saw everything," said noted
literary agent Lucianne Goldberg, who also spoke at the rally.
Ex-Arkansas State Trooper Roger Perry once told The American Spectator
that among the Clinton camp "Everybody -- Betsy Wright, all of them --
were worried sick about L.D. Brown [talking]."
But so ambivalent has Brown
always been about a public profile that his role as a witness to the
real Bill Clinton surfaced only in 1993 when he was named by his
former colleagues, Arkansas State Troopers Larry Patterson and Roger
Perry. Furthermore, besides a few mentions in articles and books, most
notably The American Spectator, Brown's name has appeared in
print only infrequently. In fact, even his appearance at the rally was
a last minute decision. "All last week after I heard about it on the
internet I found myself laying awake at night wondering what I would
tell my children when they ask, 'Daddy, you knew so much, why didn't
you say anything?' So I called Lucianne and she said I should come and
speak."
Before the rally, a
potentially explosive book Brown has written about his time with
Clinton had been gathering dust in his Little Rock home. Now, with the
shouts of "Courage L.D!" from Saturday's crowd ringing in his ears,
Brown says he feels differently about the book. He has the memory of
looking straight into the camera and addressing his former friend:
"Bill, I know you're watching; this one's for you."Just before he
boarded his plane back to Little Rock, Brown told NewsMax that if no
publisher is willing to touch it, he'll publish the book himself and
sell it via talk radio and the internet.
THE EVENTS
SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF VINCENT FOSTER
On July 20, 1993, six
months to the day after Bill Clinton took office as President of the
United States, the White House Deputy Council, Vincent Foster, told
his secretary Deborah Gorham, "I'll be right back". He then walked out
of his office, after offering his co-worker
Linda Tripp, the leftover M&Ms from his lunch tray.
That was the last time
Vincent Foster was seen alive.
Contrary to the White
House spin, Vincent Foster's connection to the Clinton's was primarily
via Hillary, rather than Bill. Vincent and Hillary had been partners
together at the rose law firm, and allegations of an
ongoing affair had persisted from the Little Rock days to the
White House itself.
Vincent Foster had been
struggling with the Presidential Blind trust. Normally a trivial
matter, the trust had been delayed for almost 6 months and the U.S.
trustee's office was beginning to make noises about it. Foster was
also the keeper of the files of the Clinton's Arkansas dealings and
had
indicated in a written memo that "Whitewater is a can of worms
that you should NOT open!"
But Vincent's position
at the White House did not sit well with him. Only days before,
following a public speech stressing the value of personal integrity,
he had confided in friends and family that he was thinking of
resigning his position. Foster had even written an outline for his
letter of resignation, thought by this writer to have been used as the
center portion of the fake "suicide note". Foster had scheduled a
private meeting with Bill Clinton for the very next day, July 21, 1993
at which it appeared Foster intended to resign.
Vincent Foster had spent
the morning making "busy work" in his office and had been in
attendance at the White House announcement of Louis Freeh as the new
head of the FBI earlier in the day (passing by the checkpoint manned
by White House uniformed guard Styles).
This is a key point. The
White House is the most secure private residence in the world,
equipped with a sophisticated entry control system and video
surveillance system installed by the Mitre Corporation. Yet no record
exists that Vincent Foster left the White House under his own power on
July 20th, 1993. No video of him exiting the building exists. No
logbook entry shows he checked out of the White House.
Several hours after he
was last seen inside the White House, Vincent Foster was found dead in
Fort Marcy Park, in a Virginia suburb just outside Washington D.C.
The death was ruled a
suicide (the first major Washington suicide since Secretary of Defense
James Forrestal in 1949), but almost immediately rumors began to
circulate that the story of a suicide was just a cover-up for
something much worse.
The first witness to
find the body insisted that there had been no gun near the body. The
memory in Foster's pager had been erased. Critical evidence began to
vanish. Many
witnesses were harassed. Others were simply
ignored. There were even suggestions that the
body had been moved, and a
Secret Service memo surfaced which reported that Foster's body had
been found in his car! The official reports were
self-contradictory.
The
Looting of Foster's office
While the U.S. Park
Police (a unit not equipped for a proper homicide investigation)
studied the body, Foster's office at the White House was being looted.
Secret Service agent Henry O' Neill watched as Hillary Clinton's chief
of staff, Margaret Williams, carried boxes of papers out of Vincent
Foster's office before the Park Police showed up to seal it. Amazing
when you consider that the official identification of Vincent Foster's
body by
Craig Livingstone did not take place until 10PM! Speaking of Craig
Livingstone, another Secret Serviceman saw him remove items from
Vincent Foster's office in violation of the official seal. Witnesses
also saw Bernard Nussbaum in Foster's office as well. Three witnesses
noted that Patsy Thomason, director of the White House's Office of
Administration, was desperate to find the combination to Vincent
Foster's safe. Ms. Thomason finally opened the safe, apparently with
the help of a special "MIG" technical team signed into the White House
in the late hours. Two envelopes reported to be in the safe by
Foster's secretary Deborah Gorham, addressed to Janet Reno and to
William Kennedy III, were never seen again. When asked the next day
regarding rumors of the safe opening, Mack McLarty told reporters
Foster's office did not even have a safe, a claim immediately shot
down by former occupants of that office.
The next day, when the
Park Police arrived for the official search of Vincent Foster's
office, they were shocked to learn that Nussbaum, Thomason and
Williams had entered the office. Conflicts channeled through Janet
Reno's Department of Justice resulted in the Park Police merely
sitting outside Foster's office while Bernard Nussbaum continued his
own search of Foster's office. During this search, he opened and
upended Vincent Foster's briefcase, showing it to be empty. Three days
later, it would be claimed that this same briefcase was where the torn
up suicide note was discovered.
The boxes of documents
removed from Foster's office by Hillary Clinton's chief of staff,
Margaret Williams, was taken to the private residence area of the
White House! Eventually, only 54 pages emerged.
One set of billing
records, under subpoena for two years, and thought to have originated
in Foster's office, turned up unexpectedly in the private quarters of
the White House, with
Hillary's fingerprints on them!
So, who ordered the
office looting?
Bill Clinton was
unavailable, being on camera with Larry King. But Hillary Clinton, who
had only the day before diverted her planned return to Washington D.C.
to Little Rock, was on the phone from Little Rock to someone at the
White House in the moments before the looting took place.
The
initial reactions
Back in Little Rock,
Foster's friends weren't buying it. Doug Buford, friend and attorney,
stated, "...something was badly askew." Foster's brother-in-law, a
former congressman, also did not accept that depression was what had
been behind the "suicide": "That's a bunch of crap." And Webster
Hubbell, former Clinton deputy attorney general, phoned a mutual
friend to say, "Don't believe a word you hear. It was not suicide. It
couldn't have been."
Outside experts not
connected the official investigation also had their
doubts.
Vincent J. Scalise, a
former NYC detective, Fred Santucci, a former forensic photographer
for NYC, and Richard Saferstein, former head of the New Jersey State
Crime Lab formed a team and did an investigation of the VWF case for
the Western Journalism Center of Fair Oaks, Calif. They arrived at
several conclusions:
(1) Homicide cannot and
should not be ruled out.
(2) The position of the
arms and legs of the corpse were drastically inconsistent with
suicide.
(3) Neither of VWF's
hand was on the handgrip when it was fired. This is also inconsistent
with suicide. The investigators noted that in their 50 years of
combined experience they had "never seen a weapon or gun positioned in
a suicide's hand in such an orderly fashion."
(4) VWF's body was
probably in contact with one or more carpets prior to his death. The
team was amazed that the carpet in the trunk of VF's care had not been
studied to see whether he had been carried to the park in the trunk of
his own car.
(5) The force of the
gun's discharge probably knocked VF's glasses flying; however, it is
"inconceivable" that they could have traveled 13 feet through foliage
to the site where they were found; ergo, the scene probably was
tampered with.
(6) The lack of blood
and brain tissue at the site suggests VF was carried to the scene. The
peculiar tracking pattern of the blood on his right cheek also
suggests that he was moved.
Despite numerous
official assurances that Vincent Foster really did commit suicide,
more and more Americans,
over 70% at the last count, no longer believe the official story.
TV specials, most notably the one put out by A&E's "Inside
Investigations" with Bill Kurtis, have failed to answer the lingering
questions, indeed have engaged in deliberate fraud to try to dismiss
the evidence that points to a cover-up.
This
website
This web site is built
primarily from official records, newspaper reports, and other hard
data. Careful analysis of those records reveals a pattern of
deliberate obfuscation surrounding Vincent Foster's death. This
pattern of obfuscation, this cover-up, is a matter that should concern
all Americans, not because of what it means for Vincent Foster, but
because of what it means for the rest of us.
One thing is for
certain. As we approach the fifth anniversary of this crime, it is
clear from the amount of resources being brought to bear by the
government that there is something about this particular crime that
has made those in power very afraid.
With the latest
Zogby Poll revealing that the majority of Americans no longer
believe the official claim of suicide, the perpetuation of the
cover-up must be to prevent an examination of the motive,
why was Vincent Foster murdered and his body dumped in Fort
Marcy Park?
NEW!
Photo of Vince Foster's shirt after he way removed from Fort Marcy
Park proves Foster had to have been shot where he was found.
One of the many false
trails put out by government disinformation operatives was the claim
that Vince Foster really did kill himself but did so someplace
embarrassing and his body was moved to Fort Marcy Park post-mortem,
explaining away the many inconsistencies in the evidence of a suicide
at Fort Marcy Park itself. Contradicting that claim was the
observation that, while the body was rather bloodless as found
(suggesting that Foster was already dead by other means when a gun was
fired into his mouth to simulate a suicide) once paramedics moved the
body, blood poured from the wounds, staining Foster's shirt.
The above photo is of
Vince Foster's shirt after it had been removed from his body at the
Morgue. As can clearly be seen, the process of moving the body
resulted in a great deal of blood flow from the head wounds. This
proves that the gunshot wound to the head, although most likely
post-mortem, was inflicted exactly where the body was found at Fort
Marcy Park.
The ABC
TV Photograph.
Where's
the blood?
On Friday, March 11,
1994, in response to rumors which were even then beginning to
circulate regarding Foster's death, ABC News broadcast the following
photograph, which had been leaked by the White House to Reuter's news
agency. The intent was to reinforce the claim that Foster's death had
indeed been a suicide.
I am not a political
activist, or at least I did not intend to become one. My career is in
feature film special effects, which I have been doing for almost
twenty years. I know about film fakery. And the instant I saw the
above photo on TV I turned to my wife and said to her half jokingly,
"This is staged! If I did work this sloppy I wouldn't be working." But
the more I thought about it, the less funny it all seemed.
There are several
troubling aspects in this photograph, which reveal it to be a staged
shot. First and foremost among them the total lack of blood anywhere
in the scene.
This lack of blood is
the single, strongest proof that Vincent Foster did NOT put the gun
into his own mouth and pulls the trigger. Had he done so, the blowback
from the gunshot would have coated the gun, hand, and white sleeve of
Foster's shirt with a spray of blood and organic matter. None appears
in the photo anywhere.
The FBI lab report
reveals that even with the most sensitive chemical test available, no
blood was found on the gun that Foster (we are told) inserted into his
mouth and fired. Not only that, Foster's fingerprints were not on the
gun.
This is the crux of the
suicide theory put forward by the government, that Vincent Foster,
under stress, on a hot July day, put the barrel of a .38 revolver into
his mouth and pulled the trigger, and did not leave blood OR
FINGERPRINTS on that gun.
Was
Foster already dead when the headshot was fired?
One of the key pieces of
information that argued against suicide was the lack of blood at the
scene.
When the brain is
destroyed, the heart will continue to beat on its own, for as long as
it has oxygenated blood to feed it. This is why head trauma victims
provide most donor hearts. The heart remains alive as long as blood is
still in the body.
In the case of a gunshot
into the mouth, the bullet has to pass through the sinus cavities. Any
child who has been in a schoolyard fight knows how easy it is for the
nose to start bleeding and how hard it can be to stop.
Had Foster really shot
himself in the mouth, his heart would have continued to beat, pumping
most of his blood out through the shattered sinus cavities and the
entrance wound in his mouth, as well as out through the supposed exit
wound.
But this did not happen.
Witnesses at the scene reported a "trickle" of blood from the mouth
and nose (one of the tracks appeared to have flowed up hill).
As can be seen by the
above video, after a gunshot through the head, the heart continues to
pump blood out the mouth and nose.
The front of Foster's
clothing should have been soaked with blood as the heart continued to
beat. This did not happen. This indicates that Foster's heart was
already stopped when the gunshot into the mouth was fired to mask the
real cause of death.
References regarding how
the heart behaves following traumatic brain death.
Robert Fiske was the
first
Independent Council appointed to investigate the Whitewater
scandal. For a variety of reasons, including his past association with
BCCI (a failed bank involved with the laundering of drug money),
Fiske was considered by many unsuitable to investigate the various
failed S&L in the Whitewater affair (many of which also appear to have
been involved with the laundering of drug money) and Fiske was
eventually replaced by Kenneth Starr.
Note that Fiske's report
was only preliminary. His final report on Vincent Foster remains
sealed. When the Wall Street Journal filed a Freedom Of Information
Act request to force the release of Fiske's final report, the court,
in an unprecedented
prior restraint, ordered the Wall Street Journal not to report on
the case, or to even mention what the final ruling actually was.
This
illegal prior restraint is one of the indicators, which reveals
how terrified the government is of the facts behind the death of
Vincent Foster.
THE
COVER-UP UNRAVELS
No sooner had the
preliminary Fiske report been issued than it met with immediate
criticism, even from the
U.S. House of Representatives.
Among the most damning
pieces of evidence to emerge from the official records was the
deliberate and fraudulent manufacturing of the testimony of Lisa
Foster in regards to the gun found with Vincent Foster's body.
Vincent Foster was found
with a .38 revolver made by Colt Arms. It was built from parts taken
from two other guns, and as a result had two serial numbers. The Frame
number was 355055, and according to the
records of the Colt Arms Company , the gun was manufactured with a
standard dark blue, almost black, finish.
In the
Park Police record, the gun is described as black. The
accompanying
photographs in the Park police report show a black gun.
In all the statements by
the Fort Marcy Park witnesses, in the Park Police reports, in the
reports by experts at the FBI and ballistics lab, the gun is never
described as anything but dark blue or (more often) black. The
photographs recently obtained in
Allan Favish's
FOIA lawsuit clearly show a dark surface to the gun.
No connection exists
between that gun and Vincent Foster. Foster's
fingerprints were not on the gun. Neither was any of his
blood . The
DNA traces on the gun, while "not inconsistent" with Foster, were
more likely to have originated with a black or a Hispanic than with a
Caucasian. No
gunpowder or
bullet fragments were found in Foster's wounds that could be
matched to the gun!
Despite this, Robert
Fiske inserted a comment on
page 38 of his report on Foster; a statement that Lisa Foster
thought the gun found with her husband was one she had brought up from
Little Rock, Arkansas.
This statement came from
an
interview of Lisa Foster conducted by the FBI on May 9th,
1994, more than nine months after Vincent Foster's death.
In the
handwritten notes and final FD-302a report of the interview, the
interviewing FBI agents describe the gun being shown to Lisa Foster as
"silver colored", not just once, but many times. The gun is never
described as dark blue or black.
The FBI agents are not
quoting Lisa Foster, they write down THEIR impressions of what is
being said and done. In their own words, on the bottom of
page 16 and the top of
page 17 of the FD-302a form, "LISA FOSTER believes that the gun
found at Fort Marcy Park may be the silver gun which she brought up
with her other belongings when she permanently moved to Washington."
In order for Lisa Foster
to believe that the gun presented to her as the Fort Marcy Park gun
might be the family silver gun, the gun presented as the Fort Marcy
Park gun must also be silver. Lisa Foster doesn't have to be a gun
expert to know that silver is not black.
From the official
record, its clear that Lisa Foster was shown a gun she recognized as
the gun she brought up from Little Rock, but its equally clear that
this is not the same gun as that found with Vincent Foster. Black is
not silver.
The credibility of the
suicide claim took another hit when one of the witnesses at Fort Marcy
Park, Patrick Knowlton, came forward to claim that the FBI had altered
his testimony. Patrick was then harassed and threatened, which
prompted the filing of a
lawsuit for witness tampering.
Perry/Patterson
The White House had come
forward to claim that they were not notified of the discovery of
Vincent Foster's body until quite late in the evening. This was a
critical item relating to when Vincent Foster's office was officially
sealed for the investigation and (as it later came out) when it was
being looted of records.
But two Arkansas State
Troopers put the White House's official time of notification in doubt.
Roger Perry and Larry
Patterson had both come forward to report a phone call made from the
White House to the Arkansas Governor's mansion approximately two hours
earlier than the White House claimed it had learned of Foster's death.
The Clinton's nanny, Helen Dicky, made the call.
During the Whitewater
hearings, Helen placed the call much later, and to bring the issue to
an end the committee members announced to all that the "former"
troopers had changed their minds and would not testify to receiving
the call any earlier than Helen stated.
This, of course, was yet
another lie. Perry and Patterson were not "former" anything; they were
still Arkansas State troopers who had wanted to testify but were kept
out.
Angered and with no
other venue, Perry and Patterson swore out
affidavits stating the facts as they knew them.
Linda
Tripp
Recently, at the end of
her appearance before the Monica Lewinsky Grand Jury, Linda Tripp
issued a
public statement that hinted at the deceptions behind the death of
Vincent Foster.
THE
"SUICIDE" NOTE
AT LEAST
PARTLY A FORGERY.
No single item connected
to the Foster death has aroused as much controversy as the so-called
"suicide" note.
This was a note,
allegedly written by Vincent Foster and discovered in his briefcase
some days after his death. The problem was that Bernard Nussbaum, in
controlling the Park Police search of Foster's office, had shown them
that same briefcase empty just two days before. Coupled with that was
the fact that the White House did not report the existence of the note
for almost 36 hours after it was allegedly discovered.
Hamilton went to far as
to request, in a letter (page
1 -
page 2) to Janet Reno, the return of the actual "suicide" note as
soon as possible, and thanks her again for refusing to allow
photographs of the note to be allowed in public.
Such secrecy surrounding
a supposed suicide note aroused much curiosity, which was finally
satisfied when someone on the inside leaked a photocopy of the note to
the Wall Street Journal, which published it.
The availability of the
note prompted James Davidson at Strategic Investment to commission
three of the world's top document examiners to examine the note.
In their
report, all three experts judged the note to be a forgery!
This hardly came as a
surprise. An even
cursory examination reveals that at last two different hands worked on
that note, suggesting that Foster's outline for a letter of
resignation (for that is what Lisa Foster thought the note had been)
was modified. A botched attempt at a signature may have required the
strange tearing of the note with the loss of one-piece right where the
signature would go.
The note had
fingerprints on it. Officially, the origin of the prints remains
undetermined, but while testifying before the Whitewater committee,
the FBI expert reported that one palm print was identified as
belonging to Bernard Nussbaum.
THE
AUTOPSY
FOSTER'S
"MAGIC" BULLET HOLE.
Virtually the entire
case for supposed suicide rests firmly on the autopsy done by Dr.
James C. Beyer, a pathologist for Fairfax County, Virginia with
strong ties to the FBI.
Dr. Bayer's
autopsy report at first reading seems unremarkable. It's
conclusion is that Vincent Foster died of a single gunshot wound
entering the roof of the mouth and exiting the back of the skull.
But on closer
examination, problems become apparent.
Dr. Beyer's co-worker at
the Fairfax County, Virginia, medical examiner's office is Dr. Donald
Haut. It was Dr. Haut, not Dr. Beyer, who actually examined Vincent
Foster's body while it was still at Fort Marcy Park, assisted by John
Rolla. On page two of
Dr. Haut's signed report, the wound track is described as a
"gunshot wound mouth to neck".
This corroborates the
eyewitness testimony of EMS Technician Richard Arthur, who described
the gunshot wound in some detail, placing it under the right ear. This
is consistent with the
news story reported by Ambrose Evens-Pritchard, who described
being showed a photograph of that wound.
Was there really an exit
wound out the back of Foster's head?
Prior to the body's
delivery to Beyer, nobody reported a gunshot wound out the back of the
head. EMS Sergeant Gonzalas stated he did NOT see a gunshot wound out
the back of the head. John Rolla did not report a gunshot wound out
the back of the head. Another EMS Technician, Cory Ashford, testified
is a tape recorded interview with reporter
Chris Ruddy that he was
certain there was NO exit wound at the back of the head while Vincent
Foster was at Fort Marcy Park!
It is not until the body
arrives at Dr. Beyer's morgue that the neck wound seen by Arthur and
Haut seems to go away and the wound out the back of the head appears.
On the
wound description page in the Beyer autopsy, the box for neck
wounds has been left blank.
But the wound that Beyer
DOES describe is rather odd. Supposedly, the wound is the result of a
soft nosed unjacketed lead bullet being fired through two dense bones,
first at the base of the skull and then at the rear. There should be
metal fragments all over the wound track. For a comparison, take a
look at the
X-ray taken of John F. Kennedy's skull following his
assassination. Metal fragments are seen throughout the interior of the
skull, and this is from a full metal jacket round, the type that
LIMITS fragmentation!
Yet in describing the
wound track in Vincent Foster's head, Beyer notes on
page 2 of his report that no metallic fragments were recovered
during the examination! There should have been lead scrapings all over
the bone perforations, had a soft-nosed lead bullet really made them!
More recently, a
FBI telex was uncovered which reported that the autopsy conducted
by the Fairfax County Medical Examiner had found a bullet entry but NO
EXIT WOUND!
The missing X-rays
Beyer himself checked
and signed the
boxes on his report indicating that X-rays had been taken. Dr.
Beyer told Park Police Detective James G. Morrissette that the X-rays
showed no bullet fragments at all. Again, with the type of ammunition
on the gun wound with Foster's body, this is impossible.
Of course, the X-rays
were not to be found. Beyer later claimed that they hadn't been taken,
and that his X-ray machine was broken, although the service records on
that machine do not bear out this claim.
The missing crime scene
photos
With the exception of a
few Polaroid photos that are currently the subject of
Allan Favish's
FOIA
lawsuit, no photographs of the crime scene exist.
The 35mm photographs
taken by the Park Police were supposedly underexposed in the
laboratory (although Starr investigator
Miquel Rodriguez reportedly used an outside lab to successfully
recover images from the film, just prior to his conflict with Mark
Touhey and subsequent resignation from the OIC).
In addition to the 35mm
photos, many more of the Polaroids of the crime scene simply vanished.
It turns out that Beyer
was the last person known to be in possession of the now-vanished
crime scene Polaroids. Rolla was unable to attend the autopsy of
Vincent Foster because the autopsy was moved up 24 hours unexpectedly.
As Rolla stated in his testimony, "Normally you like to have at least
one of the scene investigators at the autopsy to answer questions for
the medical examiner [Dr. James C. Beyer], but he had the photographs
and copies of the reports."
Rolla testified that the
photos were inside the case jacket when the jacket went to Beyer.
After it had come back, the photos were gone. Note also that whereas
it is normal to have investigators present for the autopsy, the last
minute schedule change, moving the Foster up a day, meant that Beyer
performed a significant part of the autopsy unobserved. By the time
Park Police observers saw the body, Beyer had removed Foster's entire
tongue and upper palette, obliterating the "mouth to neck" gunshot
wound Dr. Haut had seen.
Clearly, something is
very wrong with the autopsy and the preponderance of evidence points
to Beyer as author of the deception. Certainly, he was well positioned
to tamper with
Dr. Haut's original report, altering the page 1 description.
Beyer's past history
isn't the most reassuring. Indeed he seems to be the Virginia version
of the infamous Dr. Fahmy Malek, the Arkansas M.E. who ignored clear
evidence of homicide in the deaths of Don Henry and Kevin Ives and in
one case ruled that a man who had been beheaded was dead of natural
causes.
Beyer himself, in the
case of
Tommy Burkett, ignored a broken jaw in order to rule that Burkett
had killed himself with a gun. Despite having shown the autopsy photos
to Burkett's father, Beyer later claimed (as he did with the Foster
X-rays) that they had
never really existed. After a second autopsy, the case was
reopened as a homicide.
Likewise, in 1989 there
was an autopsy on establishing the death of a man named
Tim Easley. Mr. Beyer, the coroner, ruled that Easley killed
himself by stabbing himself in the chest. He failed to notice a
defensive wound on the man's hand. The case was reopened, and, after
an outside expert reviewed the case, Easley's girlfriend confessed to
murdering him.
In short, Dr. Beyer's
consistent performance (indeed his "specialty") appears to be the
cover-up of murder by declaration of suicide!
In the case of Vincent
Foster, the question must be asked if Dr. Beyer, given his past
history, changed a non-fatal neck wound seen by witnesses at Fort
Marcy Park into a fatal head shot needed for the suicide cover up.
The first indication
came with Starr's handling of investigator
Miquel Rodriquez' conflicts with fellow investigator Mark Touhey.
Rodriquez had uncovered what he thought was clear evidence of a
cover-up in the death of Vincent Foster; in hindsight it would be
almost impossible not to.
By way of example,
Rodriguez had taken the 35mm negatives taken at the Fort Marcy Park
location, which had been declared unusable, and taken them to an
outside image enhancement lab which succeeded in recovering images
from the negatives.
Under normal
circumstances, one would assume such a success at recovering data
would meet with approval, but such was not to be. Rodriguez came under
severe criticism and opposition from fellow investigator Mark Touhey.
When Rodriguez took the conflict to Kenneth Starr, Starr backed Touhey
and Rodriguez was forced to resign, his enhanced photographs of the
crime scene have never been released.
Further confirmation of
Starr's intentions came when the FBI records regarding the showing of
a silver gun to Lisa Foster first surfaced.
Hugh Sprunt, in one of his many meetings with investigators from
Kenneth Starr's office, informed them of this discovery. Starr's
investigators, echoing the claims being put out on the internet at the
time, assured Hugh Sprunt that the photo leaked by the White House to
Reuter's was quite misleading with regard to the gun's color, and that
it was reasonable to consider the gun to be of "silver color". As can
be seen by the high quality photographs of the gun released as part of
Allan Favish's Freedom Of Information Act lawsuit, the gun is quite
dark, and not to be confused with a shiny silver gun.
With such an obvious
pander to the official story coming from the lips of Starr's own
investigators, it therefore came as no surprise that
Kenneth Starr's report on Vincent Foster continued the claim of
suicide. But unlike the Fiske Report, Starr's Report had something
new. It had an
addendum.
This
addendum had been submitted by the attorney for
Patrick Knowlton, John Clarke, and had been added to Starr's
Report by the three-judge panel supervising his work over Starr's
strenuous objections!
The
addendum so undermined the conclusions of Starr's report that
Starr had it published in a second, separate volume from his own
report. Copies of the Starr report were then distributed to the media
without the second volume. Most Americans to this day are not aware of
the existence of the court ordered addendum to the Starr Report.
Kenneth Starr caught in
a lie.
In his report on Vincent
Foster, Kenneth Starr attempted to resolve some of the lingering
questions regarding the claim of suicide.
One such question
involved the dark blued steel gun found with Foster's body (the gun
that the FBI had fraudulently tried to link to Vincent Foster) which
did not have any of his fingerprints on it.
Kenneth Starr included
in his report the comment that glove box of Vincent Foster's car
contained an oven mitt. Dr. Henry Lee had concluded that Vincent
Foster had carried the dark blued steel revolver to Fort Marcy Park
inside the oven mitt and that this explained the lack of fingerprints.
Of course, there is a
huge logic flaw in the claim. Star reports that the oven mitt was left
in the car, photographed inside the glove box by the Park Police the
very next day. Foster would therefore have to have carried the dark
blued steel revolver with him from the car, without the
protection of the oven mitt, then placed it inside his mouth and
pulled the trigger.
The presence of the oven
mitt in the glove box therefore does not explain the lack of
fingerprints on the dark blued steel revolver found next to Foster's
body.
While there may be
legitimate reasons for an oven mitt to be in the glove box there is
some question as to whether the oven mitt was really in Foster's car
as represented by Kenneth Starr.
Starr states that the
oven mitt was photographed by the Park Police in their impound lot the
day after Foster's body was found, July 21st, 1993. And, in the
photographs from
Allan Favish's FOIA lawsuit, there are
photographs showing an oven mitt quite prominently on display
inside the glove box.
In the Park Police
records, Detective Braun emptied the glove box of all items PRIOR
to detective Smith removing and cataloguing the debris from the
passenger seat floor. Records show Braun emptying the glove box prior
to leaving the Park Police impound lot as 6:35 AM July 21st. Detective
Smith's paperwork has him cleaning off the passenger side floor after
noon on July 21st.
Clearly, a photograph
showing the glove box with items in it over a clean passenger side
floor is in direct contradiction to the Park Police record of the
search of Foster's car.
The
photographs of the oven mitt appear to be after-the-fact stagings
at best, complete frauds at worst. When Detective Braun emptied the
glove box from Vincent Foster's car, her inventory did not record the
presence of an oven mitt.
Lisa
Foster
It's easy to simply
dismiss Lisa Foster as the hapless victim of a tragedy, and to (as so
many supporters of the suicide theory have argued) declare her
off-limits in any analysis of the events surrounding the death of her
first husband.
However, there are
indications that Lisa Foster has had her own suspicions regarding just
how her husband died.
When John Rolla first
arrived at the Foster's D.C. home to inform Lisa Foster of the
discovery of her husband's body at Fort Marcy Park, Rolla noted an
unusual event in his
report.
What Rolla saw fit to
comment on was the strange reaction of Lisa Foster to Rolla's
describing the gun found with her husband's body, in which at the
mention of the gun's color Lisa simply exits the room in a highly
emotional state.
In
Lisa Foster's FBI interview it was established that the only gun
that was in the Foster's Washington D.C. Residence was a chrome plated
revolver. It is apparent that Lisa would have had to know that the
black gun being described to her by Rolla was not her
husband's.
But rather than say
anything about the discrepancy, Lisa Foster simply terminated the
discussion.
Yet another indication
of acquiescence if not complicity was found in
Lisa Foster's New Yorker interview, basically a spin piece in
which Lisa Foster talked about the stresses of the preceding two years
but said nothing to challenge the suicide theory of her husband's
death.
Now, at the time Lisa
Foster did this interview, she had to know deception existed in the
case. John Rolla had told her that the gun found with her husband's
body was black. Lisa knew that the black gun could not be the Foster
family's silver gun. When shown a photograph of the dark blued steel
gun she did not identify it. But by the time this interview took
place, she had been through the FBI interview in which a silver gun
was presented to her as the gun found with her husband's body! Lisa
Foster did not comment on the magically changed gun during the
interview, nor did she take the opportunity to mention the issue
during her interview with the New Yorker.
It's important not to
ascribe a sinister motive to Lisa Foster's actions. A mother who has
seen her children lose one parent and is reasonably concerned that
they not lose another easily explains them.
Shortly after the New
Yorker interview, Lisa Foster married Judge Moody in Arkansas. Shortly
after that, Moody's son Neil was killed in a high-speed traffic
accident. Witnesses reported he was being pursued at the time of the
crash.
The
Endless Spin
No sooner had questions
surfaced regarding the circumstances of Vincent Foster's death than a
crowd of people surged forth to assure America that Vincent Foster had
indeed been depressed even though he had clearly concealed it from
everyone around him.
So, when reporter
Chris Ruddy started writing a
series of article for the New York Post regarding the inconsistencies
in the Vincent Foster case, "60 Minutes" again stepped again to Bill
Clinton's defense with a hit piece on Ruddy. The mis-reporting was so
outrageous and error filled that
Accuracy in Media and issued some
highly critical reports, as did
Congressman Dan Burton.
Next came a segment of
the A&E program "Inside Investigations" with Bill Kurtis, which
attempted to explain the absence of fingerprints on the gun found with
Foster's body by showing how the deep grooves of a modern automatic
pistol simply do not provide the surfaces needed to capture
fingerprints. That Foster's body was not found with a modern automatic
pistol with deep grooves and heavy texturing, but with a
smooth metal revolver, was not mentioned.
The extreme lengths that
Mike Wallace went to attack those who doubted the official suicide
story resulted in the following cartoon.
Writing books in support
of the official lie has become a growth industry with "Blood Sport"
and "Washington Tragedy" being prime examples.
In the book Blood Sport
(page 284), Susan Thomases describes a meeting in her room at a
private boarding house in which Vincent Foster "unburdened himself" to
her. Our spies have succeeded in locating and photographing the room,
just so that you get an idea of what life in service to the White
House is like.
"Blood Sport", hailed as
the true telling of the Foster suicide, was so filled with errors that
author James Stewert, a Columbia University Professor, described the
gun found with Vincent Foster' body as "silver colored" (obviously
having read the FBI files from the
Lisa Foster interview).
The above two pages are
from a transcript of the Diane Rehm Show on WAMU FM 88.5 in Washington
D.C. The in-studio guest is James Stewert. A caller, "Larry", points
out to James Stewert the fact that the gun found with Foster is
actually black. Stewert tries to equivocate, then simply yanks the
plug on Larry.
This transcript makes
clear that Stewert KNOWS he is in error on the gun color, and is
refusing to acknowledge its implications.

The
public reaction
With the mainstream
media having abandoned its self-proclaimed role of watchdog against
government abuse, the public at large began to seek other, less
traditional venues to display their awareness.
An unknown party traced
out the words "Foster murder" at the base of the Washington Monument,
using garden fertilizer! This prompted the following news story.
THE
WASHINGTON MONUMENT "EVENT".
NY POST - April 18, 1996
"PARANOID POSSE GUS FOR
BROWN"
By Richard Johnson
(last paragraph)
"Finally, lest Foster be
forgotten, our spy peering out a window atop the Washington Monument
claims that the letters 'FOSTER' are eerily spelled out in the lawn
looking toward the Lincoln Memorial. Presumably, a prankster armed
with a bag of fertilizer wanted all those unmindful tourists to
wonder, 'whose next?'"
Hardly had the National
Park service removed the lettering and as the aroma wafted unnoticed
across the Capitol Building, the photographs of the fertilizer words
appeared as an underground postcard.
Distributed from one
Internet activist to the next, the networks and even the White House
itself were flooded with these postcards mailed from across the
nation.
In advance of a project
at the CNN building in Hollywood, I made up the above as a T-shirt and
wore it to the office the last few days I was there. The photo is the
one of Foster's hand leaked by the White House, and the text above it
is scanned from the actual part of the FBI's FD-302a which proves that
Lisa Foster was shown a silver gun by the FBI. Talk about if looks
could kill! The graphic is reproduced here and permission is granted
to make up your own T-shirts with it. Have fun. Piss off a mainstream
media covert asset today!
"Don't believe a word
you hear. It was not suicide. It couldn't have been." -Assistant
Attorney General Webster Hubbell, 7/20/93, cited in Esquire, 11/93.
