Kerry to receive personalized 'Atomic Iran'

[F14 Pilot]

John Kerry is about to receive his own personalized copy of the latest book by nemesis Jerome Corsi, co-author of "Unfit for Command" and planned opponent for the former presidential candidate's Massachusetts senatorial seat.

Corsi said a pair of pre-publication, finished copies of his upcoming release "Atomic Iran" are for sale on eBay today, with instructions to the buyer to keep one and send the other to Kerry.

The copy for Kerry bears a hand-written message on the title page: "For Senator John F. Kerry – Looking forward to our first debate in Mass. [Signed] Jerome R. Corsi. 3/3/05."

The second copy will be autographed to the winning bidder when payment is received.

Corsi said he still plans to take up residence in Boston this spring as the first step of a plan to run against Kerry in 2008.

He came up with the eBay idea after the popular auction site featured a paperback, galley version of "Atomic Iran" to the highest bidder.

"I thought it was a good way to get the book to Senator Kerry and to let him know that I'm coming," Corsi said.

Proceeds from the sale will go to his non-profit Iran Freedom Foundation, a group supporting efforts to bring democracy to the Middle East nation.

As WorldNetDaily reported, "Atomic Iran" has pre-sold an unprecedented 150,000 copies weeks before its official release date of March 22.

Subtitled "How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," the book exposes Tehran's desire to produce a nuclear bomb and reveals ties between pro-Iranian fund-raisers – including a prominent Kerry supporter – within the United States and American politicians.

'Slanderous book'

A writer for the left-leaning magazine The Nation called "Atomic Iran" a "slanderous book," but admitted to WND that he had not read it.

Ari Berman explained his judgment of the book, in his weblog, was based entirely on a column last week by Lloyd Grove of the New York Daily News.

Berman has the words "slanderous book" hyperlinked to Grove's column, which Corsi called a "hit piece."

Berman wrote:

Sen. John Kerry's heartbreaking loss didn't satisfy Swift Boat co-founder Jerome Corsi. After the election, Corsi decided to move from New Jersey to Massachusetts so he could run for Senate against Kerry in 2008. In the interim, Corsi is publishing a slanderous book alleging that Hassan Nemazee, a New York investor and top fundraiser for the Kerry Campaign, is an agent of the Iranian government. Apparently Nemazee--who fled Iran (news - web sites) after the fall of the Shah and strongly opposes the mullahs--is on the board of the American Iranian Council. Along with spies like Sargent Shriver, US Career Ambassador Richard Murphy and David Lesar, CEO of Halliburton. Corsi said he's confident "Atomic Iran" will stand up to scrutiny, calling Berman's assessment "another ad hominem attack with no attempt to address the substantial arguments in the book."

Corsi responded to Berman's dismissal of the significance of Nemazee's tie to the American Iranian Council, explaining he was not implying an attack on the character of members such as Sargent Shriver, "just their judgment."

"A lot of prominent people were appeasers in the 1930s when Hitler was being faced, and it didn't make the strategy any more credible or likely to prevent World War II," Corsi said. "If Hitler had been resisted in the 1930s, we might not have had the war."

Grove's column last week said aides to Sens. Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy are "going nuclear" over the claims in "Atomic Iran."

Kennedy aide Stephanie Cutter, who served as a spokeswoman for Kerry's presidential campaign, said, "You have to ask yourself: Does Mr. Corsi really believe the stuff he writes, and if so, shouldn't he get some professional help?"

Corsi says "Atomic Iran" has been endorsed by Iran specialists, security experts and lawmakers who will speak out as it is released.

The Grove column also said Nemazee has threatened Corsi with a $10 million defamation lawsuit.

Nemazee already has filed a $10 million suit against Aryo Pirouznia, leader of the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran and a key source for Corsi.

But Nemazee's testimony in that suit was revealing.

Last October, he admitted Tehran's Islamic regime is sympathetic to terrorism and presented a threat to the world and the United States, essentially repudiating Kerry's policy of offering to supply nuclear fuel and normalizing relations. However, the Iranian-American said he could not explain the inconsistency of having been a board member of a group on record in support of normalized relations.

I bet. After all, they ARE his kind of people!

[Syncro]

[gidget7]

I agree, but I sure hope Corsi is careful!! Perhaps he should have a security detail, these folks don't mess around!

[gidget7]

LOL well, all I know here, with the exception, I'm sure of a couple libs, will be voting for Corsi! We hope he will come to other parts of the state to campaign! Boston is indeed the pitt, and the epicenter, but a lot of conservatives live in other parts of the state.

[bitt]

get this too, ?

[R. Scott]

…but a lot of conservatives live in other parts of the state.

I did like Massachusetts when I passed though a few times – Salem and Gloucester with a visit to Boston a few times. I liked the people, but now I would have a problem with some of the laws. The weather is the real factor. I don’t like cold and snow.

The copy for Kerry bears a hand-written message on the title page: "For Senator John F. Kerry – Looking forward to our first debate in Mass. [Signed] Jerome R. Corsi. 3/3/05."

What debate are we talking about?

[pookie18]

get this too?

Now I did...thanks!!

[zot]

Thanks for the ping. Obvously, I'll have to get this book.

[bitt]

Corsi has announced that he will move to Massachusetts, establish residency, and run against Kerry for his Senate seat in 2008.

Can't wait.

Are we there yet?

[EveningStar]

I remember reading about that some time ago. I thought and hoped that Corsi was joking. We don't need another embarrassment.

Kerry's Iranian Sugar Daddies
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
Insightmag.com | March 2, 2004

Among Sen. John Kerry's top fund-raisers are three Iranian-Americans who have been pushing for dramatic changes in U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Most prominent among them is Hassan Nemazee, 54, an investment banker based in New York. Nominated to become U.S. ambassador to Argentina by President Bill Clinton in 1999, Nemazee eventually withdrew his nomination after a former partner raised allegations of business improprieties.

Nemazee was a major Clinton donor, giving $80,000 to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) during the 1996 election cycle and attending at least one of the famous White House fund-raising coffees.

In 2001, at the invitation of Mobil Oil Chairman Lucio Noto, whom he counts as a "personal friend," Nemazee joined the board of the American-Iranian Council (AIC), a U.S. lobbying group that consistently has supported lifting U.S. sanctions on Iran and accommodating the Tehran regime. Nemazee tells Insight he "now regrets" having joined the AIC board and resigned his position after 12 months when he was vilified by Iranian exile groups.

~~~

Kerry allowed an email to be sent to Tehran promising he would repair relations damaged by the Bush administration.

Kerry proposed giving the mullahs atomic fuel.

Nemazee was a big Kerry donor and sat on the board of the American-Iranian Council (AIC), a U.S. lobbying group that consistently has supported lifting U.S. sanctions on Iran and accommodating the Tehran regime.

Anyone of average intelligence can do the math, but members of DENSA are suing Corsi.

How's that Form 180 coming, Kerry?

[Amelia]

The way I read it, the buyer gets both copies. If Corsi really intends to send one to Kerry, he would be well advised to state his intent clearly.

I couldn't understand why he wants the buyer to do it...why doesn't he just send one himself?

'Anyone of average intelligence can do the math, but members of DENSA are suing Corsi'

and anyone of average intelligence will remember his statements during the debate;

he said:

' Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. It doesn’t make sense. You talk about mixed messages. We’re telling other people, “You can’t have nuclear weapons,” but we’re pursuing a new nuclear weapon that we might even contemplate using.

Not this president. I’m going to shut that program down, and we’re going to make it clear to the world we’re serious about containing nuclear proliferation. '

I get less tolerant of the weather with each passing year!!! The Berkshires are gorgeous! and many towns in mid MA are very old and beautiful. BUT the politics and laws (sane thing here) have created a stench so foul most are more content to stay home where the atmosphere is much more pleasant and wholesome. You can't even go to the grocery store without being assaulted by offensive behavior!

[R. Scott]

I get less tolerant of the weather with each passing year!!!

For some reason, the cold and damp has gotten colder and damper each year.
I have enjoyed New England every time I’ve been there, but it has been 20 years. A lot can change on the political/social scene. There was one thing I found confusing about Connecticut (you know, that suburb of NYC). Every town looked identical with the same white clapboard houses and stores, the same equestrian statue of the old war hero in the same identical town square. At least Massachusetts had some variety.
