Recent weeks have seen revelations of the Phoenix Project, a plot to assassinate six US Senators that was once debated and brought up for a vote by high-ranking members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, including presumptive 2004 Democrat Presidential nominee John Kerry, then a leader of the VVAW. The plot was conceived and promoted by VVAW member Scott Camil, and though it was voted down at a secretive November, 1971 VVAW meeting in Kansas City, about which Senator Kerry has no recollection, many questions remain. One of the targets was Senator John C. Stennis, who was shot by...

Over the past week, the New York Sun and the Kansas City Star have been reporting another unsavory story about John Kerry's antiwar past. Witnesses and FBI meeting minutes conclusively place Kerry at an event he has always denied attending: The November 1971 meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) in Kansas City, in which a plan to assassinate pro-war senators was discussed. How seriously the plan was debated is in dispute; some veterans say it was nothing more than "guys ticked off and talking big at midnight," while others remember a bitter confrontation over the idea. All agree,...

John Kerry's Vietnam-era agitation keeps emerging. Each new revelation should give more and more people pause when voting time comes. The latest is just downright schocking! John Kerry attended a radical anti-war meeting in 1971 where the murder of 6 or 7 US Senators was proposed, though shot down (Kerry voted 'NO'). In typical form, Kerry has already been caught lying about the affair. Contrary to his claims, the Kansas City Star can conclusively place him at the meeting. Normally, this type of revelation would disqualify a man like Kerry from high public office. But the 'mainstream' press, as we...

ABC's "World News Tonight" hadn't finished Monday before Gainesville resident Scott Camil's phone started ringing. Friends were calling to see if he had seen a report about newly disclosed information that the FBI had kept tabs on Sen. John Kerry during his anti-war days in the early 1970s. The report included a passing reference to and a circa-1973 photo of Camil, who had met Kerry at national meetings of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Citing Gerald Nicosia's 2001 book, "Home to War," the ABC report said that at a national meeting of the anti-war group, Camil had floated the idea...

<p>NEW YORK (CNN) -- John Kerry's combat experience in Vietnam is central to his bid to become the next commander-in-chief, but Kerry's outspoken opposition to that war drew the personal attention of the president of the United States and FBI agents 33 years ago, documents reviewed by CNN reveal.</p>

(CNSNews.com) - While Democrat John Kerry is on vacation, his staff appears to be in full damage control mode -- blasting a comment made by George W. Bush's campaign spokesman, Terry Holt. In a recent Washington Post article, Holt commented, "John Kerry's campaign seems to be summed up this way: I went to Vietnam, yadda, yadda yadda, I want to be president." The Kerry campaign said Holt's comment was an attack on all Vietnam Veterans -- something it was not intended to be. The Kerry campaign said that Holt -- as George W. Bush's campaign spokesman -- "put his tongue...

(CNSNews.com) - Five days after CNSNews.com reported that Democrat John Kerry had attended a 1971 anti-war meeting at which the possible assassination of U.S. senators was discussed, the presidential hopeful is still backpedaling on statements regarding his whereabouts during that meeting. Kerry at first denied attending the November 1971 meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) in Kansas City, Mo. According to FBI files obtained by CNSNews.com, that 1971 meeting included talk of possibly assassinating U.S. senators. VVAW members discussed targeting then-Senators Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, John Tower of Texas and John Stennis of Mississippi because of...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I need to ask you a question. Why lie about this? This is a story by John Kerry and where he was in 1971. Says he wasn't someplace, turns out he was. Why lie when there were witnesses? Why lie about it when people can say he's lying, he was there. You may have heard about this story. This was posted last Saturday in the Kansas City Star. Headline: Kerry Hedges on '71 Kansas City Meeting. [Reading from KC Star] “Confronted with 32-year-old FBI records, Sen. John Kerry's campaign all but conceded he did attend a...

This is the American Forces Vietnam Network. < -snip- > News compiled from major commercial and military news sources. It’s 5 pm. In the top of the News, Senator John Stennis underwent a lengthy operation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after he was shot during a hold up in front of his Washington home today.

Rush is talking about this story now. Kansas City, FBI surveillance, assassination plots, Kerry resignation, Kerry campaign backpedalling on denials, etc. Taking calls now.

Intrepid reporter, Thomas H. Lipscomb, is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's Scarborough Country this evening. Check local listings for the time in your area. I believe it aired at 9pm in the east. Kerry's whereabouts during the Vietnam Veterans Against The War's Novemeber 1971 Kansas City meeting should be the topic of conversation. (This is the meeting where the proposal to kill pro-war Congressional leaders was discussed and voted upon by the VVAW.)

Yes!! Limbaugh finally discussing the plot in Kansas City in 1971 to assassinate U.S. senators. Kerry has been lying. The door has now been opened. It is about time this has been on Rush's show.

ETCHUM, Idaho, March 22 — A yearlong F.B.I. surveillance of John Kerry's antiwar activities in the early 1970's was "a badge of honor" and an encroachment on civil liberties that has echoes in the presidential race, a Kerry spokesman said on Monday. Newly disclosed F.B.I. files reveal that the bureau's agents and informants closely followed Mr. Kerry and other leaders of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, infiltrating meetings, recording speeches and filing reports to Director J. Edgar Hoover and President Richard M. Nixon. Advertisement Mr. Kerry, who joined the antiwar group's leadership in late 1970 — months after leaving the...

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 (VVAW). 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...

...The Los Angeles Times first reported on the documents yesterday. The documents were in the custody of California author Gerald Nicosia, who had received them five years ago as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. Copies of some were subsequently made available to The Washington Post. < -snip- > The documents shed new light on some of Kerry's activities and contradict some statements his campaign previously made, including the timing of his resignation from the group and whether he participated in a controversial VVAW meeting in Kansas City, Mo., in November 1971. Campaign spokesman David Wade said Kerry...
