Kerry, Watergate: DNC Links Caused Break-In? (Kerry lied! He was still with VVAW JUNE 1972)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Were John Kerry and the veterans organization he led the real reason the Republicans broke into Watergate in 1972, with information on them the target of the espionage? Was doing so an early onset of Republican political paranoia against his work, a harbinger of the pending campaign against him in 2004?
Bob Weiner, the 1971-72 Youth Voter Registration director for the Young Democrats office at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and recently a Clinton White House staffer for six years, is asking these questions after doing a little research to refresh his memory. Weiner looked in the Senate's Watergate Hearings in volumes held by the Library of Congress and researched Kerry's specific assistance to the Party's '72 effort, a Rhode Island speech supporting youth voter registration, in the Providence Public Library's archives.
Here's what Weiner has confirmed:
James McCord of the Watergate burglars and CREEP (Committee for the Reelection of the President) testified before the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities on May 18, 1973 and was asked by Senator James Inouye (D-Hawaii) why the break-in was conducted. McCord replied, "Democratic national headquarters staff members" were "working closely with violence groups"... "which involved violence and demonstrations against our committee". When Senators Inouye, Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.), Ed Gurney (R-Fla.), and Howard Baker (R-Tenn.) asked for more detail, in each case McCord repeated the "violence" reference but specifically -- and only -- named the "Vietnam Veterans Against the War", accusing them as "a violence-oriented group" (Hearing pages 180, 200, 201, 223-24 and elsewhere, May 18 and 22 testimony).

Truman committed to support the French, then Ike sent special forces, then Kennedy, following his capitulation to Khrushchev, sent the first regular troops to Vietnam, Johnson promised in '64 that he would withdraw the troops if elected, many in my squadron voted for him for that reason, I voted for Goldwater...rto

If this is true, Kerry is gone, done, cooked and will not be the candidate.
(Was this what the SwiftVets were saying they had for an October surprise?) Just wondering.

Six Seconds in Dallas is a good book but some of the photographic analysis is outdated because there's more material available now and the technology for analyzing that type of thing has advanced. I have a copy of Best Evidence but haven't read it yet, though from a skim it looks like he covers the same stuff as some other authors I've read.

Hillary didn't need to have the FBI file on this one. She was one of the investigators for Nusbaum on Watergate.

People can get
Kerry's real book here,
right now,
online FREE!!
From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. 65-June 66
Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you cant live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you wont have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you wont have to deal with having been there.
- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris
on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."
The New Soldier,
By John Kerry
and Vietnam Veterans
Against the War

A local journalist or other white collar type let him work out of his home, as Kerry puts it. He used the shower there. Of course it's impossible to prove that he didn't sleep there at the same time. I don't remember more details than that, Ann. If this isn't enough, please let me know and I'll see what I can find using Google. I think I saw this report in a CNN (Blitzer Reports?) program on Kerry and the VVAW. I was amazed that the MSM was picking up on it when I saw it on TV that weekend, maybe about a month ago.

Go to page 190 of the link. Kerry has already admitted to being at the meeting, but said he quit the VVAW at the end of the meeting. So the issue is that he did not quit and tell the FBI. Yes they knowthe names of the seven senators, some were dems some were repubs. It appears the list was provided by the NV communists.

The Republicans showed their hand as far back as 1972 in blasting John Kerry and his causes for being extremist when he in fact was helping our nation in the most patriotic ways
Sedition and treason are most patriotic?
