Transcripts of captured US POW's in N. Vietnam, brought back by VVAW during visit to Hanoi
FBI Files, Winter soldier ^ | From FBI files on VVAW

Posted on 08/24/2004 5:32:45 PM PDT by stockpirate

There are about 10-15 letters that the Vietnam Veterans Against the War brought back from North Vietnam. The letters were written by American POW's.

Reading these letters makes one wonder what they endured before doing what they were told.

And Kerry and the VVAW gave their captors what these men bled to not give them.

These letters are very hard to read. My stomach is so knotted up. My eyes are so full of tears. I keep having to take breaks from it.

Let's not forget that there are probably POW's that were never returned and kerry has assisted in keeping them prisoners.

Yes, that involves Kerry's harsh words and actions against the MIA groups that lobbied for government action to find thier missing soldiers..
Kerry accused them of being "publicity hounds"... and worse...

It is my hope that the Swift Boat Vets, POW's et al., will create an ad concerning this aspect of John F'n Kerry's Senate career as well..

I read these letters from the Winter Soldier page link to the FBI PDF document. Those letters were nothing more than pure propaganda written by the NVA captors. The people in VVAW should have been shot for treason.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in that document, in fact enough to warrant a separate thread that I plan to begin in a few minutes. Please look for it.

Hey Tonk! Did you just see him on Comedy Central's Jon Stewart's Daily Show?

Unreal.

Rebroadcast tonight midnight on Comedy Central. Also again tomorrow, probably at 6 pm Cebtral time tomorrow (Wed.)
Easterners and Westerners - figure out time zones, lol)

Rather funny, ain't it. Kerry shows up after all the hoopla - on a self-proclaimed FAKE news show? 20 year olds in the audience applauding Kerry. Well, I for think young voters should for sure vote! However, if young voters think Jon Stewart's program is for real, heaven help us all. I watch it for the laughs. Yes, I know he is for sure LIBERAL. But, I still get a laugh occasionally.


LOL! I'm laughing myself to sleep tonight!

FBI files indicate the VVAW was funded by the Communist Party of America, and by the Communist party of a country in Europe!

AS a nation where free speech is (supposed) to be permitted -- why cant we have a copy of this circulated in the mainstream internet? Or somewhere? We have to fight back -- George Soros and co. are determined to take our government out from under us and make us bound to his philosophies or his cause as probably a slave to the communist party still in existance from the KBG.

We do have free speech, that does not mean that the opposing press is going to write what we want them to. It also doe not mean we have a right to be heard. If people don't want to hear the truth we cannot make them listen, but there is a price to be paid, loss of liberty.

Like right about now, this morning on CNN, (I don't watch CNN, just graze to see what the stations are doing) -- they have the "news" that Sen. Max Clelland is hauling 8 or 9 senators and vets out to Crawford to hand a letter to Pres. Bush to sign, to get the Swifties off the air. Stock, I have to get back to work (in my home, tho) -- but if you can tell the others to watch. Like, today, also, there is a news story about a lawyer that helps the bush campaign, then -- in the lower middle of the article, finally says that "although Kerry has a number of lawyers who are helping his campaign, as well as giving advice to the moveon.org. and the other kerry PACs." This is grossly unfair. help me spread the word to our fellow freepers, please.
