On January 20, 1993, william Jefferson Clinton became the 42nd President of the United States. At the time, most Americans were not aware of the extent of Clinton's criminal background. Nor were they aware of the media blackout which kept this information from the public. As State Attorney General and later Governor, Bill Clinton in twelve years achieved absolute control over the political, legal and financial systems of Arkansas.

The hijacking of America was underway and its impact on future generations would be incalculable. .
