malfeasance extends from Indian reservations to N. Korea

President Clinton's

visit to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation last week was

an exercise in irony and hypocrisy. The very day that the

President was lavishing Native Americans with promises

his Interior Secretary was testifying before a federal

court concerning the $350,000 that the Democratic

National Committee received from a tribal group to

influence the awarding of a gambling license.

In addition, there is still

the matter of $2.4 billion in missing funds that was to

go to the reservations to improve the lives of Native

Americans that is unaccounted for. One Interior

Department attorney has testified that he was ordered to

shred documents indicating the whereabouts of these

funds.

These stories of

malfeasance go unreported while Clinton makes his rounds

feeling the pain in the poverty pockets. Where is the

national media when the poor need them? Every concerned

citizen should contact their U.S. senators and

representatives and demand that the Clinton-Gore

Administration find the billions in royalty funds owed to

Native Americans for minerals extracted from reservation

sites.

[On the other side of the

world, meanwhile,] the fact that a U.S. delegation

recently found no nuclear weapons in a new North Korean

tunnel complex should not cause anyone to breathe easier.

What we should be asking is

why a Third World power who supposedly can't feed the

children in its orphanages spends millions for

underground complexes and the second largest army in

Asia. We should also remember that the North Koreans, for

no reason, once attacked and killed unarmed U.S. soldiers

in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.

Further, we need to ask why the Clinton-Gore

Administration continues to provide various forms of aid

to these bandits.
