Diary Bombshell: Kerry Met with Terrorists

Diary Bombshell: Kerry Met with Terrorists

In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory into a landslide had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his Vietnam war diary that he met "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that "flabbergasted" his running mate John Edwards.

All during the campaign, Kerry had adamantly refused to release his diary, claiming that he'd given exclusive rights to use the document to his biographer, Douglas Brinkely. But when Brinkley told reporters that wasn't true, Kerry still declined to make the diary public.

After reading this over my shoulder my wife just said: "I'll tell you what, we sure did dodge a bullet, didn't we?" I have nothing to add to that, other than, "Thank God!"

He announced to the nation at the infamous Senate hearings that he had been to Paris and spoke with the North Vietnamese. It's just that the MSM dropped the ball and didn't do any kind of reporting on the facts of Kerry's life for the voters.

I VOW to the 58,000 + names on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all."

MSM still refuses to tell the real story about Hanoi Kerry!

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
is part of THE cover up of the election.

Do you wonder why the Left whines about the election results?

They still think Hanoi Kerry is a "war hero"

They don't know what a traitor he is!

And I don't know about you but
I'm sick and tired of the Right media saying
"what an honorable man Senator Kerry is"

Why isn't the Right all over Hanoi Kerry
to be impeached from the US Senate?

Kerry's Discharge Is Questioned by An Ex-JAG Officer

"There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge
or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge
without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge,
he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.

And the kicker? The evidence is on his website!"

Hey Hanoi Kerry

The BEST is yet to come from Viet Nam Vets!

WAIT till America knows the REAL truth about you!

Your "honorable discharge" is as phony
as your Purple Hearts and your other phony medals!

You and the MSM are traitors to the American public!

Go to France you scum! And take the MSM with you!

THEN the MSM can't try and "fix" another
election with their phony polls.




Yes, Nov 2 was a great battle victory!
But the war is NOT over.
I've seen on TV and heard on the Radio
attacks about Swift Boat Vets AFTER the election.
And what liars they are.
So closure is NOT going to happen for Viet Nam Vets, yet.
Time to expose Hanoi Kerry in the MSM once and for all!
Then Viet Nam Vets will FINALLY be vindicated.
THEN it will be over!

DON'T LET THIS STORY DIE!

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times

Q) Why did
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
NOT ask Kerry about why he wouldn't sign Form 180?

A) Because they are AFRAID of the REAL story!

Q) Why does the Senate allow a traitor in their midst?

A) Ask YOUR Senator!

John Edwards was "flabbergasted" by the news, Newsweek said. He recognized immediately how important it was to keep Kerry's terrorist confab secret. "Let me get this straight," he told campaign staffers who delivered the shocker. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good."

Poor Silky Pony. He hooked his wagon to a falling star.

Anyone in a position to consider being Vice President of the US who claims to have been 'flabbergasted' upon learning of Kerry's post RVN actions is a liar on the same scale as Kerry.

The media did not 'sit on' that news, the media suppressed the news, intentionally, in order to get their boy elected.

And, finally, only yesterday I spoke with a very sincere and disappointed democrat who knew about 'all those medals' but not a whit about how they were awarded, what supposedly happened to them upon return, or any other events in Kerry's subsequent life. Like about half of the dems' base [those not already hard over socialists] she was totally unaware of ANYTHING except that "Bush took us to war".

Personally, I think we need to spend the next four years documenting every move the Dem's make to "redefine" themselves just so the public has no excuse for saying that they didn't know where the opposition/media are today and what their true colors are.

Kerry used the word "terrorists" not "communists"
back in '70-'71?

I find that hard to believe.

We know he met with the enemy, but
I doubt he used the word "terrorists."

No, I don't think that's correct.

Carter pardoned draft dodgers. Kerry was a traitor as Delta clearly states.

Kerry have never made public a pardon, so he's an untried, but still a traitor.

Do you suppose one reason why the MSM were not so eager to investigate the truth of the Swift Vets was because they already knew the truth and didn't want it revealed? I just can't think of where we might have been if we did not have the power of the Internet for this time. I don't think that I'll ever again regularly watch MSM.

I talked to a friend yesterday for the first time in a couple of months, and she said she voted for Kerry. I gave her a run-down of Unfit for Command and she was gasping and saying, "Thank God he didn't get elected! I can't believe I voted for him!" Indeed. Thank God. By the end of the conversation she was thrilled that I had volunteered for BC04!

What does this say about the MSM? That they would RATHER have an admitted traitor, one who negotiates with terrorists, than George Bush as President?

Is it going to take an alphabet network getting hit with more than a little envelope of powder to get these guys to learn RIGHT from WRONG? I pray not.

Thanks for the ping.

I only wonder why Newsmax didn't link to the Newsweek article they say claims this.

I've read the entire Newsweek article--I though--and didn't see this mentioned.

For Kerry to call the NVM or VC as terroists seems very out of character. I don't even think the term was that common back then. (Outside of Algeria.)

I think I'll wait for somebody besides Newsmax to confirm this.

Of course I know Kerry met with the NVN and VC in Paris. (I probably knew it as early as anybody--apart from the participants and those at Kerry's Senate testimony.)

Whoops. I take it back. Newsmax did quote Newsweek--I didn't realize it:

"Edwards played along, but his aides were indignant. They warned the veep candidate that the story was already out of control and about to get worse. Historian Douglas Brinkley, author of a wartime biography of Kerry, cautioned that Kerry's diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris."

This is prettry effin outrageous. 1) That "historian" Douglas Brinkley sat on this. and especially 2) that the media sat on this.

The news media is the enemy. They want to turn us into a third world one-party dictatorship.

In a Newsweek article it says that only about 15 seconds of Kerry's three hour footage has Kerry in it. According to John O'Neil Kerry brought the camera with him because he was against the war and wanted to boost his case. He didn't think he would have to be in combat when he signed up. The situation changed after Kerry had already signed up. It would be near impossible to get anybodies heroics on video. Thats why I don't buy that theory.

This was going on before the SBVFT even formed, and long before "Unfit For Command."

I tried to get the story into the MSM back in February. I talked to some top people in various networks--even Halperin at ABC News. (Before I knew how hopeless that was.) I showed them Kerry's own testimony about meeting with the NVN and VC in Paris in 1970--from his sworn Senate testimony.

They were not interested. They just wanted to know who I was and who in the GOP was paying me. It was absolutely chilling how clearly they were working fulltime for Kerry.

"WAS IT HELLO KITTY DIARY? WHO ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH KEEPS A DIARY IN A POLITICAL RACE?"

This is from the diary Kerry kept in Vietnam--which he brought along a typewriter to type, so that history would be able to read his deep musings.

Kerry shill and buttboy Brinkley had (supposedly limited) access to the diary for his "biography" of Kerry. So he has known this for years even.

Remember, Brinkley said that he was going to show how Kerry's diary cleared up his lie about being in Cambodia in December 1968. He was going to do a New Yorker article about it. That is how they put that lie to bed.

Of course Brinkley never got around to writing any such article. But the media just ignored that inconvenient fact.

BTW, through my contacts I asked Brinkley what he knew about Kerry's meetings with the NVM and VC in Paris in 1970. He claimed he never had heard about it before. That it was news to him.

He didn't deny it had happened. How could he, since it is in Kerry's own sworn testimony? But he said he never knew about it.

I thought he was lying then, since even the most inept biographer would have had to have waded through Kerry's "historic" testimony to the Senate. It's what made him famous.

Brinkley is a total whore.

Douglas Brinkley was hoping to be the official court historian of the Kerry administration. He has a long track record of being a sycophant for Democratic politicians.

If Edwards were a man of honor, he would have resigned as V.P. candidate and then spilled the beans...but he's an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer, so we wouldn't expect him to take the ethical option.

I'm a nobody. But since I was presenting them with documentable news I got some calls returned. But like I said, they only were interested in finding out who was paying me to be a GOP dirty trickster.

When I told them nobody, they lost all interest. The facts didn't matter a damn to them.
