Reagan had to stay arms length away, for political reasons. Bush was the tip of the spear, but Bill Barr managed the whole operation. Oliver North was in the operational loop, but he was the low man on the totem pole in the DC loop, so he was the one to take the fall. As far as Bill Clinton, I’d say he was paid to look the other way. A lot of the infrastructure of the operation was in Arkansas and anytime an investigation got going in or around Mena, it always hit a wall. Read the book “Compromised”. It’s a good read about the inner workings of the whole ordeal.

There was a series on the History Channel several years ago about Hitler winding up in Argentina. It also explored the notion of the 4th Reich beginning in South America. Personally, I say Hitler made it to Argentina. A lot of individuals like him, who are full of bluster and bravado are really chicken $hit at the end of the day. If he had the option to eat a bullet or live in South America, he’d South America ten out of ten times.

Here’s some insight…..

Entertainment?

Hot Springs Village, like most places has grown over the years. Obviously being gated, it provides a certain degree of privacy. Within the Village there’s five lakes, seven or eight golf courses, tennis, pickleball and who knows what else as far as exercise related activities. There’s a few restaurants in the Village plus restaurants at the clubhouses at the golf courses. The areas just outside the main gate and the east gate have grown as well. Restaurants, doctors, bldg. supply, etc. As far as housing, you can find anything you like. Condos, town homes, sticks and bricks. Some older, some new construction. But, if you have a boat that you keep trailered or motor home or camper, it’s a no-go in your driveway or property. Has to be stored off site.
As far as being far from a big city or airport, not really. Going out the east gate, you’re less than an hr from Benton/Bryant/Little Rock. An hr from Little Rock airport. This past summer they completed the spur of the bypass that runs from Hot Springs towards the Village. So now, it’s a 20 minute trip to the main gate from Hot Springs. But there is one round-a-bout to go through. Who the hell puts a round-a-bout in Arkansas? We can’t even handle a four way stop. Now a round-a-bout!?
Some have mentioned Bella Vista in NW Arkansas. They’re different but similar. But both were developed by the same company, Cooper Communities. NW Arkansas is truly turning into a metro. The growth in that neck of the woods is off the charts. Traffic on 540 at rush hour is a b!tch!
Best of luck with your search for a new place to call home.

I don’t know so much about the angry part, but they’re pushy as hell. At one of the more popular buffets in town, they will literally start wiping the table with you sitting there after you’ve had your second trip to the hog trough. After one employee reached over our table mid-meal to fill the salt and pepper shakers, that done it for me. Their show to run, but I don’t have to partake.

I’ll take option #3.

Barr ran the Iran Contra operation as well. That dude is the epitome of DC swamp creature.

It did happen. The Biden admin. tried to do it on the down low, but word got out that components of the border wall were being bundled and listed on government liquidation auction site/s. Biden pulled this stunt around the time that Congress was trying to pass a budget and although the money had been allotted during the Trump administration, Biden wasn’t going to proceed with a wall, no way, now how. The talk was although Congress could force him to proceed with the construction since the money was appropriated, they couldn’t build a wall if they didn’t have the pieces. Chicken$hit all the way around, if you ask me. There were bundles of 4”x4” square tube that sold for pennies on the dollar, amongst other giveaways. It should burn every tax payers a$$ that party politics is free to literally set fire to untold millions of tax dollars just to prove a point and with the threat of zero recourse. That’s the swamp that needs to be drained.
