Note that after all the assassination talk, Kerry quit not the organization involved but merely the Executive Committee of that organization.

Wow. Someone in the almost mainstream press is actually looking at this? Mainstream media...

Pay attention. Look at the date ("this spring"). What has the NY Sun done since then to narrow down Kerry's involvement?

Furthermore, what has the MSM done since then to pick up on this and further investigate?

No, this isn't heartening. It's an indictment.

-Kansas City Kerry- "The Phoenix Project"--

His crime lies in not reporting his murder-minded buddies to the authorities

I agree. However, I have read here on FR that though he resigned from VVAW as an officer after these assassinations were discussed, he still remained a member and was seen at meetings. I agree that he did not actively participate in the plots. But if this is correct, he did not completely disassociation himself from the organization either. He should have reported them. But, as you say, he was plotting his presidential run and did not want such an association on record. He never counted on an internet where word of his misdeeds would be so widely reported--and believed.

Preview of upcoming SBfT ad.

Swiftys are playing this out like they enjoy it. Individually the ads draw no more blood than one of his purple hearts did.

The difference, the ads never stop coming, his politcal blood never stops oozing and dripping. The SBVfT resolute ongoing campaign is, a snick there, a scratch here, self inflicted rose thorn shrapnel pin pricks everywhere, the end result, death by a thousand cuts.

I think the Soviet Union was connected to the VVAW. It sounds like their tactics.

[Use It Or Lose It]

Why is it that Kerry's letter of resignation from the VVAW can not be located?

[Rick.Donaldson]

It's about TIME the MSM is looking at this. FR posted this long ago, along with the FBI FOIA files. Damn. Far as I am concerned he's a communist sympathizer who belonged to a terrorist organization. They called them "dangerous group list" back then or something like that.

Imagine the interesting data we could find in the archives of the old Soviet Union if Putin would declassify them once again.

From 1991-93 Vladimir Bukovskiy gained access and scanned several documents. From one of them:

March 4, 1967
Secret

CC CPSU
The senior APN correspondent in the USA, Comrade G.A. Borovik, has carried out preliminary sounding about the possibility of broadcasting a program about Vietnam by one of the largest American television corporations. The program is based on Soviet documentary films with a commentary by G.A. Borovik. The company will pay $9,000 to $27,000 for the program. The U.S. section of the Foreign Ministry of the USSR (Comrade G.M. Kornienko) supports Comrade Borovik’s suggestion and considers it essential that the commentary to the program be agreed upon with the Foreign Ministry. . . .

Bukovskiy's remarks:

Imagine the situation: American soldiers in Vietnam are fighting the "friends" and clients of the Soviet Union, and a leading American network is buying a Soviet propaganda film about that country. But so it went, from year to year, not only in the U.S. but all over the democratic West, on varied subjects, but always with one unchanged condition: "according to the terms of the contract, the film may be shown on American [British, Japanese, etc.] television only after it has been approved by APN." So voluminous is material of this nature that I finally gave up noting down all the instances in which Western television companies, those fiercely independent souls, willingly agreed to serve as channels for Soviet propaganda, to put themselves under the ideological control of the Communist party-and to pay hard cash for the privilege.

Are all major networks aware of this information and choosing to ignore the obvious? Kerry may or may not have formally resigned but he continued to act as a spokesperson and representative of the VVAW for several months, did he not?

[not2worry]

I'm going to search for the article, but I believe there is a Vietnam Vet who was in KC with Kerry at the time. He has made a claim to that extent at least, and that Kerry DID NOT dissuade his comrades from pursuing the course of action.

From what I remember the guy came forward because he was miffed that Kerry tried to pin the events on everyone except himself who attended the meeting.

Will try and find article. I'm in Missouri, and I think it may have been an article in the KC Star.

Hunting!

I remember the article, or at least the individual who asserted that Kerry was at the meeting. FBI records prove he was there. It's very telling that Kerry even stayed and voted on the assassination proposal. Had he been as upset or disgusted with it as he claimed, he would have walked out of the meeting, not even allowed a vote to be held, and reported it to the authorities. It's kind of like those atrocities he claimed he witnessed, but never reported. It doesn't say much for someone who claims he wants to be the leader of this country. It only shows me that he was unwilling to step up to the plate and take charge. He ceded the meeting to those who would do our country harm. In doing this, he showed us exactly how he would allow our national security to be "outsourced" to those who don't have our best interests at heart.

Although he claims he resigned from VVAW before the meeting, no one has ever been able to find proof of it. You'd think Mr. Know It All would have at least kept a copy of something as important as that. Since he's never provided any documentation, I'd have to say it doesn't exist. And so, we're left with the option of believing Kerry, who initially couldn't even admit that he'd even been at the meeting.
