This book has shot up to #2 on amazon and stayed there although it has not yet been published. Release date was late September a few days ago but I think the publisher (Regnery) has sensed the wave and moved the date up to August 15. Hopefully this will finally get the media to acknowledge that most of us Vietnam veterans despise Kerry. Glad to see that so far he has no "bounce" at all from DNC in Boston.

One of the best ways to get the word out is to buy the book, and flood your local newspapers with letters.

My order's going in today. As I spent two weeks shy of a year on a CG patrol boat at the swift boat base near VungTau, his touting of his "service" record and his ignoring of his actions upon return, angers me beyond belief. This morning I told my colleagues at work of my service (it's not something I wear on my sleeve) and how it differed from JFnK's. Some had not heard the "rest of the story" and were appalled that he would come back home and tear down his fellow servicemen while they were still in harms way. He brought the subject of Viet Nam up and I have a feeling he's going to pay for it big time with us veterans.

Mr. O'Neill was on our local radio station last night - KSFO out of San Francisco, on the Brian Sussman show. Wow. He was on for quite awhile, much longer than a usual guest interview. The things he had to say about sKerry - pretty chilling. I think I'll get the book - I can't recall the details of everything he said, and I supposing that the incidents that he discussed will be in the book.

He's one of the people in the swiftboat crew photo that Kerry's campaign was using, and he and others demanded that the campaign stop using that photo, because MOST of those shown DO NOT support Kerry, and in fact oppose him. Very telling that many who served with him oppose him, although there are those we do support him.

Michael Savage interviewed one of the vets (not John O'Neill). The same man was on Laura Ingram earlier, I believe. Sorry, I do not remember his name. He was from South Carolina, I believe.

He told Michael that he'd been interviewed by some mainstream media folks (CNN was one I believe) but they did not like the results and have refused to air the interviews. Brings to mind NBC's interview with Clinton victim, Ms. Juanita Broaddrick. It took a lot of pressure to get NBC to air the interview.

I'm going to be optimistic and say we're going to see more of these guys in the coming months. At least I hope so.

Why do the TV and Cable Newsrooms
hide Hanoi Kerry's past?


"It is a fact that in the entire Vietnam War we did not lose one major battle.
We lost the war at home and at home John Kerry was the field general"

- Bob Elder, Swift Boat Veteran For Truth


Hanoi Kerry flew Viet Cong flag
while US troops died in Viet Nam

(Explodes Central Kerry Campaign Lie)




VVAW supported demonstration, Washington Spring Offensive, April - May 1971

Kerry was a supporter of the "People's Peace Treaty," a supposed "people's" declaration to end the war, reportedly drawn up in communist East Germany.

It included nine points, all of which were taken from Viet Cong peace proposals at the Paris peace talks as conditions for ending the war.

One of the provisions stated: "The Vietnamese pledge that as soon as the U.S. government publicly sets a date for total withdrawal [from Vietnam], they will enter discussion to secure the release of all American prisoners, including pilots captured while bombing North Vietnam."

In other words, Kerry and his VVAW advocated the communist line to withdraw all U.S. troops from Vietnam first and then negotiate with Hanoi over the release of prisoners. Had the nine points of the "People's Peace Treaty" favored by Kerry been accepted by American negotiators, the United States would have totally lost all leverage to get the communists to release any POWs captured during the war years.



Vice President Spiro T. Agnew said that Kerry, "who drew rave notices in the media for his eloquent testimony before Congress," was using material ghosted for him by a former Kennedy speech writer (Adam Walinsky).

Picture #2, VVAW supported demonstration during the Washington Spring Offensive, April - May 1971.

Notice the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong flags.

Think the media will give this book publicity like they gave Richard Clarke's?

Thanks, I just ordered my copy online. This lying sack of s**t needs to go down and down in a big way. I know this is what hitlery wants, but the country needs it now. We can worry about the bitch in 4 years. Hell, she might bite her own lip and die.

I just bought one.

If anyone has an extra copy, send it to a soldier in Iraq. That way it will get passed around to many different people.
