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.

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 from the VVAW leadership in November 1971 at a Kansas City board meeting to run for Congress.

For years Kerry claimed that he had resigned after a July 1971 meeting in St. Louis and had not been present for the Kansas City meeting that was moved from venue to venue to try to avoid FBI surveillance of the group's most secret plans.

The reason official confirmation that he did not leave the group until after the Kansas City meeting is important, say specialists on radical activities during the Vietnam era, is that the FBI documents confirm earlier reports by those present that Kerry participated in a closed-door discussion of a proposal to assassinate seven U.S. senators who were special targets of Hanoi, with whose agents selected leaders of VVAW had been meeting.

The Los Angeles Times made no mention of this part of the story, broken 10 days earlier in the New York Sun by founding New York Times books editor Tom Lipscomb and since spiked by editors coast to coast.

Kerry reportedly voted against the killings but did not leave the meeting and call a cop. Until the FBI surveillance report surfaced to put him in the middle of the assassination discussion, Kerry claimed to have resigned before the meeting at which VVAW discussed the murder plan.

After Kerry left the board of VVAW, with which he had made his national reputation, the FBI ceased surveillance of his activities according to a bureau memo in early 1972.

Who has the list of Senators that were to be killed and why did they want them dead?

One of the Senators was John Stennis, who was shot and wounded on the streets of Washington DC about a year later in a still-unsolved crime.

Kerry did NOT report the assassination plans. This by itself should be enough to disqualify him form the presidency.

BTW, he media goes into a frenzy if a Republican utters a wrong word or gives a talk to a country club with not enough minorities.

[TBall]

If Kerry goes I think John McCain will run for the democrats. Chris Matthews would have a field day.

[Azzurri]

It's hard to decide. Break the story now, or after the convention, for the "usual reason"?

I say break it the Thursday before the election. You know that's what the Democrats would do and I'm all in favor of playing the game their style.

[Cultural Jihad]

No doubt the dems will spin this into an immediate reason to call a special commission investigation as to [why] kerry was being watched--not the treasonous actions he took part in.

Sounds as if the Constimatusion has a hidden penumbra clause on the 'right to commit treason in private.'

[TBall]

In which case you should bring up the fact that bill clinton during his presidency was known to play at a course that does not have blacks, jews, or women as members.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The media will consider it good news that Kerry voted against assassinations.

Yet, I can't wait to hear how they spin the fact he stayed and participated in the meeting after the vote was taken---without reporting the plot to the authorities.

Yeah, I'd trust Miss Kerry with protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States and the security of her citizens----NOT!

[cavtrooper21]

That's OK though, cause he's SPECIAL....

[savedbygrace]

No, guilt by Kerry's FAILURE to report a plot to assassinate several United States senators. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that's a felony.

[Hand em their arse]

"It's hard to decide. Break the story now, or after the convention, for the "usual reason"?"

Definitley break it now, to many middle of the road voters may just vote Hillary (because, let's be honest here... we know she's going to end up the candidate) but they'll vote Hillary because it'll look like the shining light coming to rescue the underdog!! We need time to beat the snot out of her past and not give her just enough time to state her bullsh*t ideas without reacting to them.

Think...... it is a VERY, VERY SCARY thought!!!!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Drip, drip, drip, drip.

As dribs and drabs of the truth of this VVAW story come out...that will be the sound of Kerry's political lifeblood draining away.

Drip, drip, drip, drip...

[elli1]

If your a member of a group that is proposing to assassinate several US Senators, then yes.

More than just a mere ''member'', too. Kerry was on the executive board &, IIRC, a co-founder of the organization. IOW, he wasn't just some grunt who showed up, paid his dues & was a hostage of bad people plotting bad things.

[js1138]

One of the Senators was John Stennis, who was shot and wounded on the streets of Washington DC about a year later in a still-unsolved crime.

One of the senators was John Towers, who was killed in a plane crash.

[Bonaparte]

Hey, how's the guy supposed to remember he took part in a painstakingly cloistered discussion of a plot to assassinate 7 United States Senators on behalf of the North Vietnamese communists, a discussion that included heated exchange?

In fact, he apparently forgot that discussion and its vote as soon as it was over. We know this because he neglected to contact the FBI to notify them of the assassination plot. An upstanding citizen like Jean Effin Kerry would have done the responsible thing, if only he'd remembered the discussion he just participated in.

bump

[ezo4]

Throw this piece of trash in a dark cell. I can not believe this country is actually considering this person to be commander and chief of our country and our military.

Something is seriously wrong in America!!!!!!!!

[Bonaparte]

Interesting "coincidence." The war was still on at that time. I've heard Thurmond was another targeted Senator.

[Bogey78O]

Great one!

[TBall]

Sometimes I posts lies. The club in question does have a handful of Jewish members. This link has the story.

OTOH, I can hear O'Reilly bloviating in the next room, and it's not about this.
