Kerry's Group Met With The Viet Cong In Paris In 1971

The Winter Soldiers | 1997 | Richard Stacewicz

[Hon]

The Vietnam Veterans Against The War (VVAW) sent their own delegation to Paris to meet with the representatives of the National Liberation Front (AKA Viet Cong) in 1971. At this time John Kerry was their spokesman and defacto leader.

This photograph is from the book "The Winter Soldiers", by Richard Stacewicz, page 284:

BUMP!

A VVAW flier of the period claims ''American soldiers'' commit atrocities ''every day'' against ''the Vietnamese simply because they are 'Gooks.'''

Wasn't that part of the original 13th Amendment? That included it being illegal to accept titles and citizenship from other countries?

That's an urban legend.

And more...

I feel like Charlie Brown. All I got was a lousy red X.

[William McKinley]

I still get a red x.

Excellent job!

I love that photo even if it's faked. Gives me Cat Ballou flashbacks every time.

Tim Graham over on the Corner:

KERRY'S GOT 'SPLAINING TO DO [Tim Graham] Marc Morano has the goods from Kerry's anti-war book.

In the book's epilogue, which begins on page 158, Kerry sums up his views on the war by writing, "We were sent to Vietnam to kill Communism. But we found instead that we were killing women and children." In the book, Kerry states that Vietnamese citizens "didn't even know the difference between communism and democracy" and he instead blamed the United States for causing chaos in Vietnam.

"In the process we created a nation of refugees, bomb craters, amputees, orphans, widows, and prostitutes, and we gave new meaning to the words of the Roman historian Tacitus: 'Where they made a desert they called it peace,'" Kerry explained...

Kerry predicted that as a result of their experiences during the war, veterans like himself "will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars...We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim," he wrote. Don't count on Kerry at those conventions this year.

That photo is not faked.

There was another picture, completely different, which was.

It could be that the server hosting it is bogged down. I'm in the process of getting it on to another server.

Naw, that photo is legit....it's a different one showing Fonda and Kerry on a stage together that's the fake one...

[Hon]

The photo is now on a better server, and it should now be visible to you and the rest of the world.

[William McKinley]

I see it.

I am doubtful that we will get much traction out of it though. The media is looking to ignore photos now, and on top of it the photo does not even have him in it (or any other recognizable people, for that matter).

But you are right, this clearly shows that at the time Kerry was involved with the VVAW, they were useful idiots for the VietCong.

Well, the photo just documents that they did indeed meet with the Viet Cong.

I still hold out hopes that some in the media can still read and do not have to be told everything in pictures. Of course the way they treated the Jane Fonda and John Kerry story has shaken my confidence in that belief.

But you know, this is pretty damn damnable. Whether the mainstream media ever pick it up or not, it should be made known somehow.

That's an urban legend?

To ALL of you who insist this amendment is a fake? I feel sorry that you have already been brainwashed.

If this were truly an "urban legend", why the hell would I have been taught this in school back in the 50's?

I was raised outside the USA so I learned history without the progaganda of the major parties. I was taught this in school and there are some of you out there that can remember this (vaguely). I was born in 1951, so it has not been that many years ago.

Again - I feel sorry for those of you who do not remember what FREEDOM really was......
