Today we will be beginning our series on the dark and sordid history of the Clinton administration for the young and perpetually uninformed. The person we will focus our attention on today is a fellow named Robert L. “Red” Bone, a former Arkansas based commodity broker who operated out of Springdale. Mr. Bone was a former employee with Tyson Foods and was once the personal bodyguard of Donald J. Tyson. Tyson Foods is a major agricultural producer in Arkansas and had numerous issues at the time that the Clintons could politically affect.
Robert Bone “assisted” Hillary Clinton back in 1978 when she suddenly decided that she wanted to start trading in the high-risk world of cattle futures. Ten months later, amateur-investor Hillary Rodham Clinton had turned her initial investment of 1000 dollars into nearly 100,000 dollars. Keep in mind that back then this was more than double what Bill and Hillary Clinton earned together in an entire year.
Further investigation into Hillary Clinton’s “investments” showed that Mr. Bone allowed Mrs. Clinton to initiate and maintain many trading positions even when she did not have enough money in her account to cover them. This would be like a casino allowing you to place bets with money that you didn’t bring into the building. Other records suggested that almost half of her “so-called profits” came from larger trades made by someone else which were subsequently shifted into her account. It was also discovered after the fact that an investor named James Blair who worked closely with Tyson Foods made almost all of the trading decisions on Hillary Clinton’s behalf.
During the Clinton’s tenure in Arkansas, Tyson Foods received over nine million dollars in government loans. They were allowed the placement of Tyson company executives on important state boards and granted favorable decisions on environmental issues. All of this was carefully hidden behind a thin veil of plausible deniability of a possible quid pro quo.
If you follow Bill and Hillary Clinton’s behavior closely over the years a pattern will quickly emerge. You never actually find the dead skunk… but the stench is everywhere.
