Barrel Strength

I bet you have forgotten this, if you ever knew of Ron Brown’s death, the Secretary of Commerce in the Clinton regime. 

 If you take the time to read this, the story of Ron Brown’s death aboard a US Air Force VIP transport  in 1996, you cannot fail to be disturbed. It seems to come out of the darkest imaginings of leftie Hollywood script writers, only this time the villain is not right-wing but possibly Bubba Bill. I have always wondered how a jet the size and capabilities of Air Force 2, which had carried Hillary Clinton weeks before, could crash, how stories could circulate that the only observed survivor was delivered to a hospital in a helicopter with her neck broken, how Ron Brown, Bill’s Secretary of Commerce,  might have had a bullet in his head, how no autopsies were performed, how the Air Force skipped its usual procedures to conclude it was an accident, and how the whole story disappeared into the oubliette. Forgotten. Not the object of compulsive, pursuing, avenging journalists dragging this out for years, as would have occurred if it had been a right-wing assassination conspiracy and cover-up. Gone. It makes me wonder whether there are some stories so ugly in their implications, that national security and public confidence in our institutions requires people not to discuss them.

I confess this story has persistently nagged me since I first came upon it.
