WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., has come under fire in recent weeks for allegedly directing federal money to friends and business associates in the northern part of the state. Now it appears as though a Mollohan relative also received federal contracts worth millions. Mollohan's third cousin, Joe Jarvis, was involved in real estate for years. But in 1995, Jarvis made a slight career change, opening a company with his wife, Rosemary, called Arrey Industries. The company received three federal contracts or subcontracts between 1995 and 2000 from the U. S. Department of Energy. Now, some people, including...

Theft of FBI files 'has makings of Kerry Watergate' By Julian Coman in Washington (Filed: 11/04/2004) It has, according to the victim of a burglary in California, all the makings of a "west coast Watergate". When Gerald Nicosia, a respected author and historian, returned to his home in the town of Corte Madera on March 25, it became clear that he had been the victim of an unusual break-in. Doors were ajar and there was evidence of a hurried departure, but no valuables had been taken: a Canon camera was still lying on the kitchen table.

It has, according to the victim of a burglary in California, all the makings of a "west coast Watergate".

The only items missing, Mr Nicosia realised, were three box files of politically-charged documents. They looked unexceptional but were filled...

March 8, 1965 -- The first Stockholm Conference on Vietnam is held in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference is the creation of Romesh Chandra, chairman of the KGB-funded World Peace Council. Former Soviet bloc spy chief Ion Mihai Pacepa will later describe it as "a permanent international organization to aid or to conduct operations to help Americans dodge the draft or defect, to demoralize its army with anti-American propaganda, to conduct protests, demonstrations, and boycotts, and to sanction anyone connected with the war." The operation is staffed by undercover intelligence officers and funded to the tune of about $15 million per...

Police Report Sheds Doubt on 'Theft' of Kerry's FBI Files Marc Morano, CNSNews.com Friday, April 9, 2004 The author who alleges that three boxes of FBI files dealing with Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry's anti-war group were stolen from his home last month did not allow police officers to process the crime scene. The police report of the incident also neglects to mention that the Kerry campaign dispatched a messenger to the home of author Gerald Nicosia to pick up copies of the FBI files a week before the alleged theft of the documents. CNSNews.com has obtained a copy of...

Mysterious Dirty Tricks Follow Kerry During Election Years As we have reported before, dirty tricks seem to follow John Kerry wherever and whenever he runs for office. Our original story detailed some nasty trickery on Kerry’s part during the final days of the New Hampshire primary. Since then, of course, John Kerry has earned enough delegates to become the nominee of the Democrat Party. As such, he has come under intense scrutiny for his shady past as a radical Vietnam War protester and for his attempts to disguise and obfuscate that past. And wouldn’t you know it, amidst all that...

FBI files documenting Sen. John Kerry's anti-war activities that were reported stolen over the weekend could have damaged the likely Democratic nominee's presidential bid, the San Francisco author who obtained the records said Monday. Asked about the missing files, Vietnam War historian Gerald Nicosia told CNN: "This stuff is very explosive. It's an enormous amount of information." "The police say it was a neat and professional burglary," he explained, noting that 3,000 to 4,000 pages were missing out of a total of 20,000 pages. Burglars ignored other valuables in the house, raising questions about whether the break-in had anything to...

In 1971, Scott Camil, a Vietnam Vet who was radicalized by Jane Fonda during the Winter Soldier Investigation, and a subsequent colleague of Senator John Kerry while the latter was the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, was the architect of a proposed VVAW conspiracy to assassinate seven sitting U.S. Senators. The assassination plot was debated at a VVAW conference in Kansas City, on November 12-15, 1971, and a number of eyewitness accounts, as well as FBI files obtained by Kerry biographer under the Freedom of Information Act, have placed Senator Kerry at the Kansas City VVAW conference, despite denials by...

Nicosi, on Fox & Friends, says that he was cooperating with the Kerry campaign and that the GOP had the most to gain by the theft of the bookmarked files from his coffee table. The police said the burglary was "smooth."Nicosi says there was lot of "juicy" stuff in them, but hadn't finished going through them all, which is why they were on the table."John Kerry WAS at that meeting" (re: the assassination plot!)

Why do the major dailies continue to spike the story of John Kerry's role in the Nov. 12-15, 1971, "assassination summit" in Kansas City at which Kerry participated in the secret discussion and vote by the executive board of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) on whether to murder seven U.S. senators and other leaders who continued to resist New Left demands that Vietnam be turned over to the Viet Cong? Tom Lipscomb, founding editor of (New York) Times Books, has nailed it all down in the New York Sun with an FBI surveillance report and six eyewitnesses, of...

<p>John Kerry mentions his service in Vietnam so frequently that it has become a running joke on the campaign press plane. He seldom if ever mentions his postwar activities as a national coordinator and principal spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a group he says he quit in 1971 because he was concerned about its radical agenda. One reason may be that a credibility gap has started to widen over his antiwar history, and he clearly doesn't want to discuss it at length. His campaign is issuing misleading and evasive statements on his antiwar service in a way that would do the Pentagon spinners of the Johnson and Nixon administrations proud.</p>

Gainesville man stood trial as 1970s anti-war activist.GAINESVILLE -- ABC's "World News Tonight" hadn't finished before Gainesville resident Scott Camil's phone started ringing. Friends were calling to see if he had seen a Monday evening 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...

Nicosia said he suspected that the thieves were specifically in pursuit of the files because a camera and other expensive items in the home were left untouched. He added that he did not know exactly what material was taken because it was not cataloged or marked. Three of 14 boxes of files that had been stacked in his kitchen are missing. He said he was moving the remaining documents to a secure location Friday afternoon. Nicosia has not yet looked at all the files. Last week he allowed The Times to photocopy 50 pages concerning the FBI's monitoring of Kerry...

Sometime during a national meeting of the Vietnam Veterans Against The War (VVAW) held November 12-14, 1971 there was an intense "discussion" and vote on a plan offered by Scott Camil to assassinate top Congressional leaders who had voted to continue funding the war in Vietnam. There has been much discussion here and some in the media of this topic. The details are getting confused, and few people have seen any of the original source material. I first came upon the subject in early February when I was looking for information about Kerry in "Winter Soldiers," by Richard Staciewicz. The...

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...

(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.

According to FBI files obtained by CNSNews.com, that 1971 meeting included talk of possibly assassinating U.S. senators.

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.)

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...

John Kerry participated in a 1971 Kansas City meeting of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War where a plot to assassinate seven U.S. Senators was considered.

I had a great conversation with Lipscomb a short while ago. This story was too hot for some of the majors. But Lipscomb assured me it is well-sourced and is dead on. Two witnesses have placed John Kerry at a Kansas City meeting of the hierarchy of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in November of 1971. At that meeting, they actually took a vote about assassinating United States senators. It was...
