FBI verifies Kerry at 'assassination summit' ( March 23, 2004)
World Net Daily ^ | March 23, 2004 | By Scott Stanley Jr.

Posted on 10/31/2004 8:12:40 AM PST by Calpernia

News management may have reached an embarrassing low in the Los Angeles Times for March 23 where an article by staff writer John M. Glionna purports to offer selections from the FBI file on soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, who was under surveillance by the G-Men as a member of the executive board of the pro-Viet Cong Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Presenting items from 50 documents carefully selected from what it reported were 14 boxes of related government papers 12 feet high, the Times confirmed from the FBI and other witnesses that Kerry had resigned from the VVAW leadership in November 1971 at a Kansas City board meeting to run for Congress.

For years Kerry claimed that he had resigned after a July 1971 meeting in St. Louis and had not been present for the Kansas City meeting that was moved from venue to venue to try to avoid FBI surveillance of the group's most secret plans.

The reason official confirmation that he did not leave the group until after the Kansas City meeting is important, say specialists on radical activities during the Vietnam era, is that the FBI documents confirm earlier reports by those present that Kerry participated in a closed-door discussion of a proposal to assassinate seven U.S. senators who were special targets of Hanoi, with whose agents selected leaders of VVAW had been meeting.

The Los Angeles Times made no mention of this part of the story, broken 10 days earlier in the New York Sun by founding New York Times books editor Tom Lipscomb and since spiked by editors coast to coast.

Kerry reportedly voted against the killings but did not leave the meeting and call a cop. Until the FBI surveillance report surfaced to put him in the middle of the assassination discussion, Kerry claimed to have resigned before the meeting at which VVAW discussed the murder plan.

After Kerry left the board of VVAW, with which he had made his national reputation, the FBI ceased surveillance of his activities according to a bureau memo in early 1972.

Actually, the thank you goes to the Vets. Unfortunately they never had the chance to retire. They have been fighting this war for 30 years.

Cowgirl, do you know if any freepers have a list of fax number to news stations?

I know we have freepers with emails, but emails are easily ignored.

I can print out these FBI docs and program in lots and lots of fax number :D

Yes, Glionna did a puff piece. I spoke with an editor about the story of Kansas City at the L.A. TIMES and harrassed them enough until they finally did the story. Glionna got the assignment, and I shared several emails with him giving him the roadmap for the story. Indeed, he would not dare talk about Kansas City. Kerry was part of a criminal conspiracy and should have reported it to the FBI. He did not.

These are links to Kerry's staff making an ambiguous press release about his being present in the Phoenix project meeting where they discussed assassinating U.S. Senators.


Excerpt: ""If there are valid FBI surveillance reports from credible sources that place some of those disagreements in Kansas City, we accept that historical footnote in the account of his work to end the difficult and divisive war," Wade said in a statement late last week."

Kerry Still Backpedaling on Presence at 1971 Anti-War Meetings

Another...

Excerpt: "Senator Kerry of Massachusetts yesterday retreated from his earlier steadfast denials that he attended a meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War at which a plan to assassinate U.S. Senators was debated.

The reversal came as new evidence, including reports from FBI informants, emerged that contradicted Mr. Kerry’s previous statements about the gathering, which was held in Kansas City, Mo. in November 1971.

Kerry was no doubt instructed by his Communist handlers to resign from VVAW. After all, they wanted him to run for office.

From time to time I find bits and pieces but never have the time (nor the skill on a PC) to put all of it together. I look for your threads and posts and most of the time bookmark or print them. Your work produces pieces to a big political/historical quilt. Thanks, again.

BRAVO ZULU, CALPERNIA

If you find anyone that is willing to listen, please freepmail me. I have a video of KLA terrorist writing a check to Kerry Victory and sharing laughs and drinks with Wes Clark and Dick Holbrook in New York. I have done all the research work and I've burned numerous copies in both .asf and VCD format. I've handed them to my local rep. headquarters and I can't get anyone to look at it. It is also referenced at the top of my homepage. I sent out almost 100 emails with those links to the media and I have not even received a courteous "Thanks, we'll look into it" reply. Very strange times we live in.

The KLA are linked to Osama Bin Laden and this guy brags all the way through this video. At 15 minutes in, he say "We give the money to the politicians for their campaigns, and they pay us back".
