Mysterious Mena, Arkansas

Now that the Clinton presidency/regime is winding down, now is a good chance for us to learn about exactly what went on in the years 1984-1992 , in the little town of mena, Arkansas. I have read that the airfield in mena was the scene of some very starnge goingson-a CIA-funded airline, run by a now-deceased pilot (Barry Seale) was said to be shipping arms to central america. Two teenage boys who were out hunting in the woods, apparently saw some of these goings on, and later fell asleep (with their heads resting on the railroad tracks). Apparently, they didn’t awake in time to avoid a freight train. Supposedly, Clintons half-brother (Roger) was the recipient of some white powder, delivered by Bobby Seale’s planes.
So exactly WHAT happened in Mena? Willwe ever know the whole story?

Al Gore did it. With the lead pipe. In the Study.

There were also all those planes that mysteriously went down over Mena, Arkansas… and the ships, too, don’t forget the ships sailing past Mena whose compasses went crazy and they (the ship, not the compass – well, OK, the compass too) sank.

The same phenomenon with the ships’ compasses happened around Memphis, too, but scientists explained that as non-compass Memphis.

I worked in Mena each summer for ten years (during THAT time period) - all total I’ve lived there about 24 months. I know lots of people in the area and it seems everyone has an ‘airport story’. There are several rumors about the airport but the one you hear from EVERYONE is the one about the engine place near the airport. Apparently there is some sort of ‘high performance engine repair shop’ right next to the airport. What’s weird is no one knows who works there (Mena is small, about 4500 people, and everybody knows everybody else). The doors / windows /blinds are always closed and there never seems to be any activity except every so often they will put an engine out front and run it a little then bring it back in. I have also heard that someone once went to strike up a conversation with one of the workers and he basically ran inside, closed the door, and flipped the sign to ‘closed’.

My view is that government conspiracy theories abound and everyone has their favorite story. I’ve got two more that are plausible but I won’t go there.

Seriously, Mena was apparently the scene of some pretty heavy activity involving the major cocaine ring for the southern US. Clinton gets involved because the deaths of those two boys were covered up at the state level, and it was a pretty open coverup at that. The state coroner said that the boys comitted suicide by smoking marijuana until they fell asleep on the railroad tracks! This was inspite of the fact that not a trace of pot was found on them, and there were signs that the kids were dead well before they were run over by the train. When the shit hit the fan, then-governor Clinton excused the coroner’s actions by saying he was overstressed and then gave him a raise. Also, around a half-dozen people who said they knew something about the Mena deaths were murdered themselves. In one of the deaths, a state police vehicle was accused of running the guy down! Both Clinton’s state procescutor and the guy who succeeded him as governor went to prison for being on the take, and in fact most of Clinton’s buddies from Arkansas are either in jail or dead. Add it all up and you have a pretty good pool of circumstantial that Clinton is as corrupt as they come.

Another drug-related rumors regarding our glorious prez (completely without proof, but fun to spread nonetheless): that Clinton is himself a drug addict, and sends Secret Service agents to get cocaine for him. It’s also rumored that this drug use has destroyed the mucous membranes in his nose, which is why his medical records are kept secret.

I have heard the story about Clinton’s nose-suposedly brother Roger described our president’s nose as being like a “vaccuum cleaner”. But anyway-are his medical records sealed? How come we get to learn about JFK’s addiction to amphetamines, but not about Clinton’s fondness for white powder. Will his medical records be unsealed once he leaves the White house?

Oh, CK, that’s just baaad. Though it describes this thread well…

If there is government involvement, then the information you’re talking about usually has some kind of time or date seal on it.
There were things about the Lincoln assassination that your great-great grandparents never knew that you are allowed to know.
There are things about JFK that seem to be coming out as cetain people die (although most of the JFK stuff seemed to be out by the 70’s).
I’ve read that there are papers from Churchill that will not be unsealed until the year 2050. And they could blow the lid off preconceptions of FDR and the conduct of WWII.
Ain’t conspiracies wonnerful?
If the information in the above threads are true then you may, indeed, be looking at a small operation of the government (the argument being that if it wasn’t the government and it was illegal then the government would have quickly shut it down).
If that is the case then be prepared for one thing: When the truth comes out it often is mundane and boring.
