Kerry: No comment

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | 10/3/04 | Dateline D.C.

[Jean S]

Should you wish to be a fully-fledged member of an anti-American support groups at the United Nations in New York you must hate George W. Bush, love John Kerry and be rich. To be both a member and a leader, you need to be unimaginably rich.

During September, one such person -- the "Red Queen of Peace" -- was roaming the U.N. corridors as she has done for the past 36 years. It was Mrs. Cora Weiss, daughter of the late Faberge Fragrances millionaire and friend to the Soviets, Samuel Rubin. Paraphrasing Shakespeare, age has not withered her, nor custom soured her variety. She presents a facade untouched by serious thought, hence her support for John Forbes Kerry.

The Weiss wealth is fortunate for her friends as she has helped many of them (and Kerry's friends) fund projects by way of the Samuel Rubin Foundation, of which she is president. There is Washington's Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), the Geneva-based International Peace Bureau, the Peace Action Network and its related Student Peace Action Network, and the New York-based Hague Appeal for Peace (HAP). Cora Weiss has been director of disarmament programs of Riverside Church and is the founder of Women Strike for Peace, a group that never questioned its Soviet masters.

Not content with merely funding such groups, she is the Marxist hatchet-lady who combines membership in the influential Council on Foreign Relations with being boss-woman of the Peace Action Bureau and the Hague Appeal.

Part II is here:

Forging a Paper Hero: The Mystery of Kerry’s Medals

Part III is almost done. It includes some information on Peter and Cora Weiss, along with their IPS associate Richard Falk, who also participated in the Winter Soldier Investigation and coauthored a related book on alleged "war crimes" with the VVAW's psychiatric consultant Robert Jay Lifton.

On a related note, prior to his involvement with Winter Soldier, Peter Weiss had edited the proceedings of the International War Crimes Tribunal started by the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, of which the Winter Soldier Investigation was a spinoff. Also regarding Cora Weiss, one of her partners at Women Strike for Peace, Bella Abzug, introduced VVAW member Sheldon Ramsdell to Peggy Kerry in 1969 and supported the VVAW at Dewey Canyon III.

I shall read, thank you in advance.

[hershey]

Yes, indeed. This happened in the Kennedy family, and the wife sued and later wrote a book about it. Four kids were affected. Robert Kennedy, Jr., I think, but I could be wrong. One of them, though. The wife's name was Sheila, they lived in Maryland or Va.

[Interesting Times]

Peter was also a participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation and the VVAW's lawyer during the period when John Kerry was with the VVAW.

Thanks...

Wow! Who wrote the following statement:

"She presents a facade untouched by serious thought, hence her support for John Forbes Kerry"

[OXENinFLA]

Cool, I was going to post this but didn't get around to it......

THANKS..};o)

[MistyCA]

They so easily make a mockery of the sacrifices so many made to bring this country forward.

Found some more on Cora Weiss and the VVAW: the Vietnamese delegation in Paris was using her to send covert messages to the VVAW. This is mentioned in Teletype, Tampa FBI Special Agent in Charge to FBI Acting Director, et al, “Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Incorporated”, October 30, 1972, FBI HQ 100-448092, Section 34, online at www.wintersolider.com, http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/index.php?topic=VVAWFBI, pdf file HQ 100-448092 Section 34, 75-78.

Another note: In November 1971 Al Hubbard received a promise from the North Vietnamese delegation in Paris that the next POW release would be made to the VVAW in December:

Kerry's communist ties ping

[stockpirate]

I don't know if you had a chance to read this one, but it satates that John Kerry met with hte NV in PAris "before" he became a member of the VVAW. This indicates that he had other communist connections to make that happen.

Also, there is something in here about Kerry beating his wife.

[Fedora]

Yes, Kerry visited Paris just before joining the VVAW. He was then working for the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, a group interlocked with the New Mobe, which already had connections to the North Vietnamese Paris delegation and could've facilitated Kerry's contact with them. Kerry may have also had connections through his cousin Brice LaLonde, who in 1968 had become president of a Sorbonne French student union (l'UNEF à la Sorbonne) involved in the Communist-directed French student revolution that year.
