We are apparently amidst a national conversation between the Kerry campaign and the mainstream media about President Bushs military records when he served as a fighter pilot in the National Guard. The question of whether he missed a physical or several meetings seems to be asked over and over again. The catalyst for all these questions is the federal records which are kept about each member of the Armed Forces.
These documents are the best evidence of what really happened at that time. Of lesser value are the memories of various individuals who served with George W. Bush. Did they help him get into the reserves? And can they accurately recall whether he was or was not attending a meeting? We all know that memories can fade after 30 years.
With regard to President Bush, the records are the most important find in the minds of the investigative journalists. If the records are not favorable to Bush, then the Kerry campaign benefits.
Meanwhile, Kerry continues to refuse to release his complete military records which would answer a number of important questions about his service, his medals, and what happened after he returned from Vietnam. So why isnt the mainstream media pounding on Kerry to get his military records?
Lurking just around the corner are some federal records which may have an even greater impact on Kerrys bid for the presidency, but mainstream investigative journalists are avoiding this issue like the plague.
Somewhere, perhaps in the basement of FBI Headquarters, located at 9th and Pennsylvania in Washington, D.C., are 14 cartons worth of investigative reports involving Mr. Kerrys activities when he returned from Vietnam. Remarkably, there are records of Mr. Kerrys attendance at an antiwar, anti-American rally where the assassination of U.S. senators who supported the war was openly discussed as a viable political tactic.
Before the mainstream media scoffs at this evidence, I think it might be useful to review some of the activities of the New-Left, Far-Left, or, as I like to call it, the Hard-Left during those times, which might explain the FBIs interests in conducting a major criminal investigation of Kerry. These were not just over-the-top statements made by hyperventilating kids. At that time, the country was suffering from wholesale domestic terrorism of a very deadly and destructive kind and I submit that many of the leaders of these violent groups networked closely together to obtain the maximum impact against the hated establishment.
I have in my possession a remarkable, if not well known, professionally made DVD entitled, The Weather Underground. This Academy Award nominee for best documentary feature is described by the Christian Science Monitor as a terrific movie, energetic and articulate. Its the dont miss documentary of the season. The New York Times is quoted as saying, A great story! Terrifically smart! The Boston Globe, now keenly interested in the federal records of Bush, says, Essential viewing. The Washington Post shouts, Exhilarating. Couldnt be better timed.
This is the story of violent, Hard-Left radicals with attitudes much like young John Kerry. They bombed, robbed, threatened, rioted, burned, injured, and killed members and symbols of the hated establishment. More important, it is about home-grown revolutionaries who supported Communism vs. The Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Ill leave it to the reader to conclude why The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and The New York Times like this DVD so much. Do you think they were rooting for the FBI? Does the story of surveillances, arrests, search warrants, and wiretaps excite these mainstream media types? Or, do they really pine for the good old days of overturned, burning police cars and bombing conspiracies hatched over a bong?
The entire issue of what the FBI knows about Kerry and when they knew it is being totally ignored. But not for long. As the existence and contents of federal records become more and more a part of this presidential campaign, it is inevitable that we will finally get around to talking about Kerrys FBI files and whats in them. Do Hillary and Bill already know? Is that why they dont seem too worried about a Kerry win, which would end Hillarys realistic chances for a run in 2008?
The FBI records on John Kerry go far beyond your usual FBI background investigation the FBI was trying to determine if John Kerry should do hard time for conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government through violent means - among other possible charges.
Is there a place (thread) that has been set aside on FR for 'finds' from the FBI files?
See question in #21.
It is beyond "unusual" that CBS refuses to demand Kerry's military records via the 180 and refuses to comment on the fact that he was once investigated as a "communist insurgent" in America acting against American interests and yet, CBS will "stop the presses" for a report on the President's dental records of 30 years ago.
There is enough dirt on Kerry to keep 60 minutes in business for years! and yet they ignore it!
CBS cannot pretend any longer to be objective.
CBS is the media wing of the DNC and Dan Blather is leading the charge to replace Bush with the marxist traitor, Kerry.
CBS can change my mind by investigating Kerry's military record, FBI record, Senate record, Tax record, etc... [never going to happen]
This is what I am talking about. There is to much there, there. the media and the skerry campaign will do whatever it takes to keep his suspected "dishonorable " discharge from being know. the Navy has an obligation to the American People to make his discharge records public.
Bookmarked!
Thnx cuz! ;^)
We need to continue to push the issue that Rather lied, and used forged docs, and also Kerry radical actions, attempting to overthrow the Government with violence. We need to do everything we can to bring this information to the surface, even if the media refused to do so so far. It's up to us to make that happen. Let's put our effort into this, for it is important, we do not need a communist in the White hOuse.
Could some of the internet news organizations (Talon News, maybe) start the ball rolling on these? I don't actually expect, say, CBS for instance, to have an interest--unless they can figure out a way to reproduce the documents with George Bush's name on them. (And I wouldn't put it past them.)
And, for some of us, memories fade after just a week. LOL
You're dead-on, Hanna. THAT'S why the MSM doesn't put it together in one broadcast or news article. No one will ever convince me that they're so stupid they don't see all this . . . they just don't want the American public to see it. They might as well be 527 organizations for the Kerry Campaign . . . they want Lurch to win at all costs, regardless of his flaws, regardless of whether he was a traitor in the early 70's, regardless of anything he might do or might've done in the past. They don't care. Their philosophy is simple . . . anyone but President Bush.
But this election cycle is the first time us conservative-types aren't slaves to the mainstream networks and newspapers to get our news or to disseminate the truth. WE HAVE THE POWER NOW. And it's eating them alive.
Life is good.
You're absolutely right!! And it does scare them to death - at least the ones aren't still operating with the 90's mindset. As to any MSM doing their investigative job - I would hope FoxNews would lead the pack - maybe we need to give them a push.
This serves as actual FBI documents (reference points) to show: 1) that Kerry's VVAW was closely allied (joint demonstrations) with a communist-front organization, and 2) that the organization that Hillary directed a $15,000 donation to (from the Children's Defense Fund) was considered a communist-front organization.
Good job!
So how do we use that power? What do we do?
You're doing it right now, Hanna. By joining many, many other conservative patriots who have decided they WILL NOT allow the status quo to keep us down any longer.
Fellow FReepers broke the CBS story. FReepers are putting so much pressure on CBS and the MSM that they're about to implode. And you by supporting them, even if you don't send one email or letter yourself, are doing your part to keep them motivated by simply participating in the process.
Don't ever underestimate the power of numbers. CBS and the MSM'ers are terrified of Free Republic because we not only carry a big stick now . . . we've got talented, brave, and motivated folks who like "swinging for the homerun."
You're witnessing a major turning point in media history as the muckety-mucks of yester-year are learning that THE TRUTH is still important to some folks. You've got a front-row seat.
So . . . What do we do? If you can't get any more personally involved for whatever reason, do nothing more than what you're doing right now. Care and participate in the process. Join me in the cheering section. I'm disabled and unable to fight the wars on the front-lines like many of my fellow FReepers but I can darn sure let them know how much their efforts are appreciated.
bttt
geedee...thank you for your response. I am totally new to this thing. Do you have any pointers on how to use this site? I am afraid to close a page for not being able to find it again. It seems stuff moves so fast and people are talking on it then nothing. I am at a total loss.
Don't be too hard on yourself. LOL. I was definitely the dumbest FReeper ever to set foot on this site when I first started . . . and I survived. Some say I'm still the dumbest FReeper to ever set foot on this site, but I just keep on strokin' like the EverReady Bunny.
I've been thinking of something: when John Kerry came back from Vietnam, he worked against America and for the Communists and with the Communists. He worked against America with the Vietnamese and other anti-establishment Communists in the U.S.. Then, during his 30 years in the Senate worked against everything that would bring down the Communists in the Soviet Union and elsewhere in the world expansion of communism...against weapons systems and against intelligence agencies and assets and equipment and funding of all of the above.
So, my gut-feeling is that John Kerry may be a flip-flopper and everything but one GIANT thing: after Vietnam, he became a Communist and has consistently been one ever since. He and Edwards even quote from such figures and they talk communist/socialist type talk that is veiled or masked, but it's there nonetheless.
Now, we can argue semantics of words: Communism or Socialism or a combination of both, but the Soviet Union, as we know it, was never a pure communist state and I don't know any that were or are today [Cuba, China, North Korea, Vietnam etc.] all are not "equal" as in everybody is the same...no one greater or higher than another...there is the elite and the under-class masses...blah blah blah. Not one is a pure communist state as defined by everyone being equal. So, they are more or less some sort of combination of socialism and communism with the elite ruling class of party members who live well and the rest live like beggars.
John Kerry is no Clinton and Clinton I did not fear, but Kerry I do. I think he has a communist/socialist core that, if elected, would pop out like a jack-in-the-box and bring ruin down on this country.
John Kerry is also anti-gun / anti-second Amendment. Isn't that the first thing the Communists do...outlaw all guns and take away the citizen's right to resist or defend against a takeover?
Perhaps, I am a "Right-Wing Kook"...
