Kerry's Group Met With The Viet Cong In Paris In 1971

The Winter Soldiers | 1997 | Richard Stacewicz

[Hon]

The Vietnam Veterans Against The War (VVAW) sent their own delegation to Paris to meet with the representatives of the National Liberation Front (AKA Viet Cong) in 1971. At this time John Kerry was their spokesman and defacto leader.

This photograph is from the book "The Winter Soldiers", by Richard Stacewicz, page 284:

[Hon]

Here is some more specific information about this meeting. It is from "Home To War" by Gerald Nicosia, p. 103. It gives a more exact time frame for when VVAW had members in Paris talking to the NLF (Viet Cong):

"Even as Shoup was speaking [March 16, 1971], VVAW had two representatives in Paris--including Native American veteran Mike Hunter, a former airborne ranger with a Silver Star--offering their apologies to the North Vietnamese for the genocide that had occurred at My Lai and elsewhere in Vietnam. Unfortunately, that private peace offering never made the papers."

"Among other things, I believe it is against the law for private citizens to negotiate with other countries."

If one more Republican offers lamely - defensively, in response to a Lib challenger; ("are you questioning Senator Kerry's patriotism; or his war record; or his service to his country???!!! ). . .

. . .or just as a preface to his name ie. . .the 'patriotic Kerry qualifier'; I may disable my TV or damage myself in a hurl against the nearest hard surface.

Buck up Repubs there is a war going on here.

The Demrats distort and transform facts with a pathological viciousness; while at the same time, give warning of the Republican Attack Machine.

And we are afraid to just state the truth!

This MO is becoming, no doubt; a health hazard to many patient Republicans.

You would be correct.

If you haven't been elected to office - you have no explicit authority to act for America or in America's interests. To negotiate as if you do is TREASON!!

I cannot believe democrats actually want such a person to be their president. After all .. if he's willing to do that with NO AUTHORITY .. what will he do if he has authority ..??

"Build Unity to Take Back Our Country in 2004!: Defeat Bush and the Ultra Right!

by Joelle Fishman, Chair, Political Action Committee, CPUSA, 31.01.2004 00:00
The 2004 election is a turning point that will make history one way or the other. The backdrop is the mighty battle being waged by right-wing capitalist interests for hegemony over all the world's resources, markets and labor. The shocking disparity between wealth and poverty worldwide, and the never-ending search for new sources of profit, set the stage for sharp conflict."

This is on the home page of the CPUSA. Obviously, we missed something, if they "want THEIR country back" I assume this means that at some point they had it. Was this under the Clinton administration?
