A solid overview of the WSII propaganda event and some of the efforts to counter it with facts and demands for actual evidence.

Thanks for the post.

I suspect that a lot of leftist reporters would go ahead and publish this propaganda as factual, if they were not aware that the patriotic blogosphere might as a result succeed in destroying their careers.

Dan Rather lost his job. Hillary clinton can no longer spread verifiable lies and order the evidence to be buried. Editors have been publicly embarrassed and are unlikely to want to repeat the experience.

Who wants to become famous for a juicy atrocity story, and then get shot down by hundreds of bloggers for failing to check the most elementary facts, or even for lying?

This was actually Winter Soldier 2.1 because the Vietnam Veterans Against the War already staged Winter Soldier 2 in Boston on Oct 7-8-9, 1971 in Faneuli Hall.

Thanks for the heads up. Quoted from your book:

CID opened criminal investigations into the claims of 43 WSI witnesses, which were eventually resolved as follows: “25 WSI participants refused to cooperate, 13 provided information but failed to support the allegations, and five could not be located. No criminal charges were filed as a result of any of the investigations"

Well, you and Tim shined the light and lifted the veil but will the blind see?

Ya hav'ta believe in miracles

Thanks for pinging me to this stuff Scott.

This guy's on his game.

I sure hope the MSM does a better job of “vetting” these phonies this time around!

Thanks for the ping. This is an excellent article. It does seem that the WSII propaganda is getting less media coverage than they expected.

I wonder how many of these “Winter Soldier” scumbags will be exposed as frauds. I’d guess 100% would be pretty close.
