Forging a Paper Hero: The Mystery of Kerrys 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.
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.
Thanks...

Wow! Who wrote the following statement:
"She presents a facade untouched by serious thought, hence her support for John Forbes Kerry"
Cool, I was going to post this but didn't get around to it......
THANKS..};o)
They so easily make a mockery of the sacrifices so many made to bring this country forward.

Kerry's communist ties ping
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.
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.
