In 1993, Vince Foster, Webster Hubbell and Bernard Nussbaum were

told about the Clipper computer chip. Clipper was a secret

encryption project intended to monitor all U.S. secure computer

communications. The chip was to be mandated by federal law to

be installed in all U.S.-manufactured computers much like the

"V" chip is for U.S.-made TVs.

According to congressional investigators, Webster Hubbell and

Vince Foster were given access to highly classified "encryption"

chip designs. Their access included secure encryption

algorithms and details on how the National Security Agency

secretly built the hidden "exploitable" (back door) features

inside the Clipper chip.

In July 1993, the death of Vince Foster came as a major blow to

the Clinton administration. Yet, the alleged affair between

Foster and first lady Hillary Clinton over-shadowed the

discovery of classified materials in Foster's White House

office.

After Foster's death, Clinton White House lawyer Bernard

Nussbaum managed to clean out Foster's files while law

enforcement officials were kept waiting outside. According to

Foster's secretary, Nussbaum removed two binders, marked TOP

SECRET from the NSA, from Foster's office.

The real history behind the Clinton selection of Foster and

Hubbell for a secret computer chip project dates back to the

1980s and leads to William Cravens, former head of an Arkansas-

based computer company called Systematics.

William Cravens is an old Clinton friend. William Cravens first

met the Clintons in the mid-1980s when he was president of

Worthen Bank. Mrs. Clinton, along with Rose Law partners Vince

Foster, and Webster Hubbell, worked with Cravens on Worthen's

legal affairs.

It was during the early Clinton years that Cravens also met

James Riady, son of Indonesian billionaire Mochtar Riady and the

owner of the massive Lippo Group. The Riadys jointly purchased

the Worthen bank with Arkansas billionaire Jackson Stephens.

Mochtar's son, James Riady, ran the bank and the employer of

William Cravens.

In the early 1990s, Cravens left Worthen bank and took the CEO

spot at Systematics, an Arkansas-based computer security company

owned by Jackson Stephens. Once at Systematics, Cravens

selected the Rose Office Law firm to perform some special legal

work. One such legal contract involved a top secret

intelligence agency, the NSA, and Systematics.

Interestingly, during 1993, Cravens would deny that any such work

took place and even threatened to sue anyone who dared suggest

that the late Vince Foster or First Lady Clinton worked on

classified contracts for Systematics.

In 1995, Washington Weekly forced the Clinton administration to

admit there was such a contract. The NSA, in response to a

Washington Weekly Freedom of Information request,

admitted that Systematics had a secret contract involving the

construction of a Secured Compartmentalized Information Facility

(SCIF) at an Army base in Georgia.

It was also reported that Mrs. Clinton hired Systematics to

secure computer records from the Rose Office accounting systems,

including data on the now infamous Whitewater land deals and the

Riady holdings in the Worthen bank.

After Bill Clinton was elected in 1993, Cravens left Systematics

and obtained a new job at the Arkansas-based ENTERGY Group,

headed by Edwin Lupeburger. According to Federal Election

Commission (FEC) records, Cravens donated money to a Democratic

Senatorial candidate in May 1996, listing his employer as

"Entergy Corp."

Cravens, however, had not really left the Clinton/Lippo/China

relationship. In 1994, Ron Brown led a delegation of U.S.

businesses to China. Among the businesses allowed to fly with

the Commerce Secretary was Entergy Corp., a U.S.-based utility

company that did business in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi

and Texas.

Entergy CEO Edwin Lupberger traveled to China with Brown and

later received a personal letter congratulating Entergy for

its success in China. Entergy signed a $2 billion deal

with the North China Power Group to build a 1200-megawatt power

plant in Datong, China. Brown provided U.S. financial backing

for the deal.

The Entergy deal was worth quite a bit to the Lippo Group. In

fact, the Red Chinese North China Power Group renamed the

project the "Lippo Entergy Datong Power Plant," giving top

billing to the largest investor and financier.

According to an interoffice memorandum written by J. "Chip"

Brown, head of the Hong Kong office for Entergy Corp., Entergy

officials met Jude Kearney, Clinton's deputy assistant secretary

of Commerce in Washington. Chip Brown sought a spot for

Entergy's chief executive on the August 1994 trade trip to

China.

According to Brown's memo, Kearney "indicated competitive nature

of being selected to ride on the plane with the secretary. Also

indicated that politics of the situation were important and he

as a political employee would push those that were politically

connected."

According to Kearney, the fact that Entergy executives made more

than $80,000 in contributions to the Democratic Party qualified

it as "politically connected" and thus, eligible to a ride paid

for by American tax dollars.

There are more contacts between old Clinton friends and Arkansas

businesses. According to a 1994 document obtained from the

Commerce Department, William Cravens replacement at Systematics,

John Steuri, sought and obtained clearance to accompany Ron

Brown on foreign trade trips. The Commerce Office of General

Counsel "vetted" (cleared) the Jackson Stephens owned company

Systematics and the new CEO to travel to South America with

Brown.

Additional testimony before Sen. Fred Thompson's committee shows

that the Lippo Group is a joint venture of China Resources, a

trading and holding company "wholly owned" by the Chinese

communist government and used as a front for Chinese espionage

operations.

Current allegations of espionage inside the Clinton White House

center on Mochtar Riady. For example, a Riady "gardener"

contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton-Gore

campaign. In fact, the same gardener was caught on video tape,

shaking Clinton's hand and saying "James Riady sent me."

Another focal point is former Lippo executive John Huang and

what he did while employed at Ron Brown's Commerce Department.

Huang is clearly associated with advanced encryption chip

technology, and large amounts of illegal money flowing from the

far east into the Clinton-Gore campaign.

While at Commerce, Huang attended 37 classified briefings given

by the CIA on encryption technology. After each briefing, Huang

would walk across the street from the Commerce Department to the

Lippo-Stephens office. Once inside the Stephens Group -- safely

away from prying eyes -- Huang made hundreds of phone calls and

faxes to points unknown.

Huang also attended secret White House meetings in June 1994

with Bill Clinton, Webster Hubbell and James Riady. The secret

meetings resulted in a quick payment to Hubbell of over $100,000

by a Lippo company.

There is no question the Chinese generals selected American

"encryption" technology as a prime target. The Red Chinese

technology "focal point" was secure computers and

communications. The red generals wanted to know if there were

any secret Clipper-like "back-door" features built into the U.S.

systems they purchased.

Motorola, Hughes, and Loral all made huge sales of "encrypted"

satellite communication systems to China. Each sale required

the personal signature of Bill Clinton to waive laws passed by

Congress prohibiting such export. Each sale was preceded by a

long series of memos to Ron Brown all begging to sell encryption

technology to China.

Another example of the central focus on encryption is the Hua

Mei fiber-optic project which included encryption computer

source code. The one and only contract for Hua Mei is the

General Logistics Division of the Chinese army. Still another

focus of the Red Generals in Beijing was the encrypted -- secure

-- satellite Air Traffic Control (ATC) system transferred to

the Chinese air force under Bill Clinton's signature.

In order to inspect a computer chip one must first obtain

access. It is often difficult to obtain access to a working

satellite in orbit without a space shuttle. That problem was

solved by the Chinese when they simply ripped the chips out of a

working satellite exported to the PRC for launch. The missing

"encryption" control board of chips from the Loral Intelsat came

from a launch that crashed, killing 200 innocent Chinese

civilians.

The Intelsat crypto-board provided the Chinese army with

significant amounts of information on the operation of radiation

hardened circuits. It was also an opportunity to see (at the

microchip level) if the U.S. had installed secret back doors to

eavesdrop on the Chinese army satellite communications. The

fact that it cost some 200 lives to obtain also reflects how

valuable the information was to the Chinese generals.

All this brings us back to Foster and Hubbell, non-technical

lawyers with access to highly technical, classified

information. The ties between President Clinton, Foster,

Hubbell and the Chinese army scream to be investigated. So far,

Janet Reno has yet to explain why she is not in conflict of

interest investigating her former right-hand man Webster Hubbell.

Information warfare is defined by humans. The Foster data was

covered by "National Security," and thus carried the death

penalty if illegally released. The absolute value of what he

carried is rated as being worth a life or many lives. Clearly,

of all the data that Foster had at the time of his death, none

was more valued, nor more dangerous, than the secrets hidden on

a micro-chip.
