FBI Documents Link Kerry to Chinagate

August 31, 2004Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates government corruption, has released declassified documents which they say shows that Democrat presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry accepted improper campaign contributions during his 1996 reelection bid. In exchange, Judicial Watch says Kerry helped arrange meetings between Chinese aerospace executives and U.S. Government officials.
The heavily redacted FBI documents show that Johnny Chung, who plead guilty to two violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act and other charges, funneled approximately $20,000 to the Clinton/Gore '96 reelection campaign and an undisclosed, smaller amount to Sen. John Kerry.
According to Newsweek Magazine, Kerry received $10,000 at the Beverly Hills fundraiser held less than one month before the election. In return, according to Newsweek, Kerry helped Honk Kong businesswoman Liu Chaohying by arraigning a meeting between Chaohying and a senior Securities and Exchange (SEC) official in order to get Chaohying's company listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange.
It was later disclosed that Chaohying was also a lieutenant colonel in the Communist China's Peoples Liberation Army. It was Chaohying who controlled a Honk Kong bank account through which the money was routed.
During the same time period, Kerry traveled to Beijing on a "U.S. trade mission organized and sponsored by a private corporation." Paul Marcus, the head of Boston Capital & Technology, traveled with Kerry on the trip.
Marcus claims on his company's website that his firm was "China Advisor to U.S. Senator's commercial agenda for China."
According to an article published in "Insight on the News" by investigative reporter Charles T. Smith, Marcus is a business partner with the China International Trust and Investment Corp (CITIC).
CITIC is known as a front for the munitions manufacturer Poly Technologies Corp. According to a 1997 report prepared by the Rand Corporation, "Poly Technologies Ltd. was founded in 1984, ostensibly as a subsidiary of CITIC, although it was later exposed to be the primary commercial arm of the PLA [People's Liberation Army] General Staff Department's Equipment Sub-Department."
"Throughout the 1980s, Poly sold hundreds of millions of dollars of largely surplus arms around the world, exporting to customers in Thailand, Burma, Iran, Pakistan and the United States," the Rand report continues. "CITIC does enter into business partnerships with and provide logistical assistance to PLA and defense-industrial companies like Poly."
The reports adds, "Poly Technologies was run by international arms dealer Wang Jun and He Ping, son-in-law of long-time Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping. The Rand Corporation noted that 'Wang Jun is both director of CITIC and Chairman of Poly Group, the arms-trading company of the General Staff Department.'"
In 1996, Poly Chairman Wang Jun met with President Bill Clinton inside the White House with convicted Chinagate figure Charlie Trie, who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the 1996 Clinton/Gore campaign from Red Chinese sources. The Democratic Party later returned much of this donated money.
"While CITIC is reported by U.S. military authorities to be involved in the international sale of illegal arms it also is interested in obtaining advanced U.S. technology," says Smith. "The Boston Capital Website notes that the firm has been involved with the transfer of advanced U.S. space technology to China. Such references are viewed in the arms trade to have missile applications."
"John Kerry frequently has stated that he has had contacts with high-ranking officials of foreign governments," says Smith. "Yet, the Kerry campaign is refusing to answer any questions about the candidate's privately sponsored trade trip to China or his relationship with Marcus.
Smith also notes that the Chinese official Internet news outlet of the People's Daily, official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, recently endorsed the senator from Massachusetts for president of the United States.
It was memtioned by a local freeper on an early morning thread....Details were not given....I'll see what I can find.
Poly Tech makes a good gun....
Here's the post...GOP might be able to give you more details.
Today in the Tennessean newspaper a Vietnam veteran took out a full page add criticizing John Kerry. I do not have the paper with me right now so I don't remember the veterans name. He was a real Purple Heart winner in Nam. He lost most of his jaw in a battle. He did not criticize Kerry's medals but instead criticized the damage he did with his anti- war activities. The add was fantastic. It was also clearly stated that this add was paid for solely by this one person and he had no connection with the Swiftees. This shows the hatred that many veterans have of Kerry. It should be real interesting to see how the American Legion greets Kerry tomorrow. Stay tuned!

thanks
1) This week, RNC convention and very Presidential speech net Bush a 10 point lead in some polls.
2) Sep 5-15. Kerry continues to flip-flop, and get caught in more lies about his Vietnam "service."
3) Sep 15-28. Media covers Kerry implosion 24/7. Dems panic, launch "Torricelli Switch" trial balloon.
4) Sep 28. Kerry, under pressure from every side, drops out for X reason. (X = health, family, ?whatever dumb thing Kerry thinks of?)
5) Sep 29. Hillary "drafted" by Dems, makes droaning "Ya know" speech. Liberal media go nuts, 24/7 Hillary love fest begins.
6) Month of Oct. Hillary gets clobbered by Bush in debates - liberal media still oozes over her "Strong performances."
7) Nov 2. Hillary wins by narrow margin as liberal precincts around the country report record turnout - 150-200% in some cases.
oooooooooooooooo -- not good for Kerry!
Re #7: ah, of course, forgot about the Daley maneuver!
bttt
Hee hee! Pretty good stuff!
I think Hillary will sit this election out -- even if Kerry withdraws from the race at the 11th hour. She has no stomach for an election fight against an incumbent. She'll keep her powder dry for 2008, IMHO.
Still, I just love your timeline.
Nope, I think this is going to be an M. Stanley Dukakis controled flight into terrain kind of ending. He'll stick with it to the end.
shh, do ya hear that?
That's the wheels coming off the bus.
Hmmm....brainlock here, what is the AL convention?
well I guess this will be all over the alphabet news media.
Thanks for the ping! The more we find out,the dirtier Kerry gets.
>>>The more we find out,the dirtier Kerry gets
I do have the urge to shower with a brillo pad after seeing his pictures and hearing about him.
American Legion
Ah...lol....DUH! (And Thanks!)
I'm betting on you. I already lost a whole dollar since Kerry made it out of the convention.
