Clinton draws UFO endorsement


With Hillary Clinton''s presidential campaign wheezing, it would be logical to assume the New York senator would appreciate every endorsement she can get. But it ain't necessarily so.

This weekend in Gaithersburg, Md., just outside the nation's capital, the only registered congressional lobbyist advocating UFO disclosure hearings -- Steve Bassett -- is staging his annual X-Conference. Its keynote speaker is Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who has long pressed for declassification of government UFO data and has labeled the enduring cover-up as potentially "a case of criminal culpability."

But undoubtedly the most annoying X-Conference speaker to a Clinton-bashing law firm called Judicial Watch is a guy named Grant Cameron.

JW, which kept President Clinton's lawyers busy in the '90s with bimbo-scandal litigation on behalf of Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones, is attempting to scour the Clinton Presidential Library for more ammo in case the senator gets the Democratic nomination. JW is apoplectic over the idea that Cameron (a Canadian!) managed to file Freedom of Information Act requests with the library before it did. Which means JW is having to wait in line behind him. Which is galling because Cameron is digging around for UFO material, not pantyhose skank.

So the conservative outfit whose motto is "Because No One Is Above the Law" has resorted to suing the National Archives, which manages the library records, into changing the rules so it can shove the Winnipeg UFO researcher aside. Last month, a federal judge noted JW's "hyperbolic" tone but allowed its attorneys to forge ahead and make its case.

Cameron, whose research so far has uncovered evidence that President Clinton and the first lady met with at least one big-time UFO disclosure advocate, has been urging readers to support the existing first come first served rules by contacting clinton.library@nara.gov. Otherwise, he writes on his http://www.presidentialufo.com/ Web site, JW's bottomless vendetta "will tie up the archivists at the Clinton Library for years."

Recently, after analyzing the candidates, Cameron endorsed Hillary Clinton as the most likely contender to tackle UFO disclosure if her hand were ever forced. “She ... would be the most fearless individual to find and take on the secret UFO cabal,” he writes, “to swim upstream on a controversial issue such as UFOs, or to fire people until she got to the bottom of the cover-up.”

The senator will thank him publicly just as soon as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visits Jerusalem. But Cameron's on the Clintons' radar now. And it’s safe to say they’re paying attention.
