William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States, serving from 1993 to 2001. His administration oversaw the declassification and termination of the STARGATE PROJECT in 1995.1 While the Remote Viewers text does not detail Clinton's direct involvement with the project, it notes that William Perry, who served as Clinton's Secretary of Defense, had previously been involved in funding decisions for the program during the Carter administration.1
Governor of Arkansas and the Mena Drug Operations
As Governor of Arkansas, Clinton presided over the period when Barry Seal operated his Central Intelligence Agency-connected cocaine smuggling operation at Mena airport. Clinton's close friend Danny Ray Lasater was convicted as part of a major drug ring in Little Rock, raising questions about what the governor knew about the activities at Mena.2
Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson testified that troopers were aware "that there was large quantities of drugs being flown into the Mena airport" and that "it was a CIA operation." Despite the scale of Seal's operations, which a letter from the Arkansas attorney general to U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese valued at $3 billion to $5 billion in smuggled drugs, the state government took no action to shut down the operation. Clinton's administration in Arkansas presided over the period when the Mena airport served as a hub for both drug trafficking and Contra supply operations.3
