No problem. Keep looking, and let's hope the MSM gets the smell of blood, because as partisan as they are, they just can't keep away from red meat! It works something like this: Freepers find something good, or authors like O'Neill put out a book. Then Hannity, Rush, and Laura Ingraham get a hold of it. After a couple of days, FoxNews starts putting it out for discussion on the morning shows and ultimately Brit Hume. At that point the rest of the MSM either ignores it and loses audience or grabs a piece of the meat. Now at this point, Kerry is in full defensive posture.

The media keeps saying that the President needs to get away from Vietnam and talk about today's issues, and then you look at a typical Kerry campaign stop (like today) and you see Rassman talking about how Kerry is the right man to protect his back. Then Kerry or someone else wonders out loud where Bush was during Vietnam. Then they wrap it up by again complaining that this campaign is not about Vietnam, but jobs, etc. But the pressure must be kept on Kerry.

One or two a week is all it takes!

On page 194 of the PDF document: Section 11.pdf it does say that the Agenda Committee met again for one hour where Scot Camil proposed his "readiness squads". The Agenda Committee would not allow Scot Camil to propose it to the general meeting later that day, but did decide to place his proposal on the agenda for the Spring meeting in February 1972.

That's important that it wasn't tabled, just postponed. Hope Hannity's reading FR!

There's some really damning stuff in that document that may be as potentially embarassing as the political assassination stuff. At that same November steering committee meeting, the Wisconsin delegation proposed a plan to encourage 2000 American GI's in South Vietnam to engage in "mutinous acts" of rebellion by refusing to take up arms. The spectre that this creates is one of a national leader of a quasi-terrorist group seeking 3 decades later to be commander-in-chief of the very military services within which his organization advocated mutiny in the ranks. This was on PDF page 193 of the section 11 FBI document.

FBI Document Section 11

(transcript begins)
The Wisconsin delegation proposed a plan to contact 2,000 active-duty GI’s in South Vietnam and in effect ask them for a mutinous action by refusing to take up arms when ordered to do so. This proposal was favorably accepted by the committee.

If the Washington Post has decided to commit truth on Kerry, he has a serious problem. His entire strategy is blown up. He counted on the Dimsymp press never to do any such thing.

Boy, am I glad you are on our side! This is excellent stuff.

Hannity....Head's up!

Seems we have the making of Swift Boat video no. 4...

O'Neill, Head's up!

Wasn't Kerry still in the military as a reserve officer during this time? And was he not still under oath to protect and defend the Consitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic? And did he not approve of this effort to solicit mutiny? If so,

FBI...Wake up!

Without question.

And was he not still under oath to protect and defend the Consitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic?

Without question.

And did he not approve of this effort to solicit mutiny?

Implicitly, if not explicitly. There is some ambiguity here, because it was at this meeting that Kerry announced that he was resigning from his position in the Executive Committee of VVAW for "personal reasons". Now, he will probably claim that as such, he was not involved in these decisions, but the FBI documents reveal that he continued to attend meetings and remained a high-profile member of the VVAW group for some time after that meeting in Kansas City, November 1971.

There is also one other damning thing that I found in browsing through these documents. Rather than re-type some things, I will link to a previous thread that I originated concerning using POW's a pawns or tokens in VVAW's attempt to establish themselves as an organization with "real power". It will sicken anyone who has ever felt compassion for a Prisoner Of War.

Kerry's VVAW Group Used POW's as clout tokens!

Thanks for the links. Maybe this week some of this will hit the airwaves.
