"Senator Kerry, you personally derailed the Vietnam Human Rights Bill, HR2883 in 2001 after it passed the House by a 411 to 1 vote and thousands of pro-American Montagnard tribes people in Vietnam died since then who could otherwise have been saved. Earlier, as Chair of the Senate Select Committee on MIA/Pow Affairs, you personally quashed the efforts of any and all veterans to report sightings of living POW's, when you held those reins in Congress. You have fought tooth and nail to push for the United States to normalize relations with Vietnam for years. Why, Mr. Kerry?
Simple, your first cousin, C. Steward Forbes, CEO of Colliers, International recently signed a contract with Hanoi that is worth billions of dollars for Colliers International to become the exclusive real estate representative for the country of Vietnam."
Ping y'all.
Johnny Boy probably never in a million years believed he would reap what he had sown.
A powerful letter.
BTTT

Vietnam is developing the southern coastal resort towns and islands
Ole JF Kerry sold Vietnam Vets out and the MIAs, POWs and their familes wonder if him and Terratzah will get a nice beach front villa for their help....
Blood money ..the color of ketchup....
Simply Amazing.
This is stupendous. Note, backtothestreets, his comment on denigrating the NG. The VN boil is finally being lanced for innumerable vets & their families who've suffered in silence for all these years. What they have to say is an important correction to a distorted history.
Jen, I've read several items on Kerry's cousin's contract w/Hanoi. I'll try to find a good source.

Yep, they did.
And they had to survive this as well. :o)
Great site with lots of photos taken during the Vietnam war: Vietnam War (landscaper.net)
this tidbit about John Kerry's cousin is in an old American Spectator article at the beginning of Clintons term when he pushed to normalize relations with Vietnam- I will have to go find it- anyone have it handy ??
Kerry is lower than worm s**t. Everything about him is phony. He wants to make Viet Nam his only issue. Good. Viet Nam will destroy him. These honorable vets will once again defend America. They have long memories.
Thanks for the post.
HR2883 of the 107th Congress (2001-2002) was The Intelligence authorization bill. However HR2368 was the Vietnam Human Rights Bill, as was HR2833. The later was the one passed by 410-1. the one being Congressman Paul. Congress Oxley later said he would have voted for the bill if not "unavoidably absent" when the vote was held
I've found in the Congressional Record indications that someone put a "secret hold" on the bill, and discussions of the bill to grant favored or "normalized" trade relations with Vietnam. Kerry spoke strongly in favor of that, inspite of the fact that the NVA newspaper had commented favorabily on the 9-11 attack, basically saying we deserved it. Kerry argued that that was the "hardliners" and that we needed to give VN the trade concessions to encourage dialog and stregthen the "softliners". (Which, IMHO, is pure BS, the NVA Army newspape is not going to print anything which is in disagreement with the highested levels of the communist Party and government.) There was some kind of Switheroo, whereby Hiltlery became the presiding officer of the Senate, and involving Kerry "suggesting the asbsence of a quorun, an then as teh roll was called another unanamous consent request to suspend the quorum call, which they did, with Hillarry being the one to say "without objection". There was much discussion of a Vietnames fish from the Mekong that was/is being sold in the US as "Catfish" even though it is a different genus and species.
Kerry and McCain waved the Bloody Shirt of their service in Vietnam, in support of normalizing relations, what was once called "Most Favored Nation" status.
The Chair was switched via that same switheroo manuever several times.
Little Tommy Daschle drug out the old saw about how trade with a dictatorship would result in "democratic ideas" flowing in with the trade. (Worked real well in China,hasn't it?)
Normalization of trade was approved 88-12.
I guess one can infer that the secret hold on the Vietnam Human Rights Act was Kerry's, but it could have as well been McCains.
I couldn't tell if the hold was released once Kerry and McCain got the goodies for the Peoples Republic of Vietnam. Eventually it probably was, since the bill got as far as a conference committe. I could find no record of the Senate's amendments, but they must be out there somewhere.
Yes. This issue predated his presidential campaign be several years. Kerry acted as a roadblock to any official investigations on POW/MIA issues. According to POW/MIA Families Against John Kerry:
John Kerry abandoned our husbands, sons, fathers, and brothers in favor of trade and normalization of relations with Vietnam. His actions paved the way for the further abandonment of POWs and MIAs from World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War.John Kerry, as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, ordered the destruction of committee documents, blocked avenues of investigation, and misrepresented progress on the POW/MIA issue to justify lifting of the trade embargo against Vietnam.
