Kerry Lost Security Clearance!
Just spoke with reporter friend in DC. She is talking with former USN ONI types who worked on DOD/USN investigation that resulted in total loss of Kerry’s Navy security clearance.
Kerry had been granted a Top Secret by the Navy on October 11, 1967 based on a routine background investigation by Office of Naval Intelligence. A top secret clearance was required for his work at that time.
Obtaining and holding a security clearance of any level, especially TS or above, requires certain terms, obligations, commitments and conditions from the holder. One of the most important is the holder of the clearance must promptly and fully any contacts with any foreign officials, agents, etc.
Lieutenant Kerry left active duty with the Navy on January 3, 1970, but he still carried those obligations as a commissioned officer of the Naval Reserve. Without telling anyone and without receiving permission from superiors,FBI or counter-intelligence officers, he traveled to Paris in the summer of 1970. He claimed the purpose of his trip was a honeymoon with his first wife, Julia Thorne, but there was another hidden purpose.
Numerous North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence agents and officials were in Paris, having arrived a year earlier for the “Peace Talks.” While in Paris, Kerry met with agents on a number of occasions and had extensive discussions with them about U.S. plans, procedures and how to get the U.S. to essentially surrender in Vietnam.
These clandestine meetings were never reported to the Navy.
Almost a year later, in April 1091, speaking as the leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against The War, Lieutenant Kerry told a Senate hearing about his meetings with enemy agents. Senior DOD officials wanted to prosecute him as a Naval Reserve officer for violating a number of laws and regulations, but this was vetoed by the Nixon White House. They didn’t want to give the anti-war crowd any additional PR ammunition.
However, the Navy immediately pulled Kerry’s security clearance. He became a Naval Reserve officer who was known not to be trusted. He kept his commission, but lost all access to any classified information. In the words of one of the now-retired agents, “Lieutenant Kerry wasn’t cleared to know what time it was!”
The bottom line is, Kerry was on the Intelligence Committee of the Senate after the Paris fiasco and another trip to support the Moscow-backed Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
Today, he couldn’t get a security clearance to pull KP duty, but he wants to be Commander in Chief of all our military in the War on Terrorism!
Good question. I've long thought that Sandy Berger's theft had nothing to do with the 9/11 commission.
"If true, and he becomes (God forbid) President, how could he get clearance?"
Look at the losses sustaine by the United States of America thanks to the clintoon whitehouse total lack of security concerns! None of the staff would have rated even the minimal "Confidential" clearance.
As president, j f'n kerry would have the POWER to finish the job clinton started in destroying our REPUBLIC.
Just damn! Logical. I should've thought of this before.
I am not sure; I never saw a final list of what he took, but it seems to me this information would have been at the Pentagon? I could be wrong on that.
the MSM won't touch it unless bloggers make them
Treason bump!
no, but as president he would
Every service man and woman on this forum (and my late father) are more trusted by the U.S. than this phony.
Only in Bizarro U.S.A.
When I retired from Pratt and Whitney where I had my clearance, during the debriefing they inform you of the laws and punishment for contacting any foreign enemies of the United States, without contacting the DOD first. They were very clear.
So...
How did Kerry get away with only having his clearance revoked?
How did he sit on the Senate Intel. Committee not long ago? And he had access to classified info...?
Isn't a clearance required to be Commander In Chief? If so, how will he get it back?
BTTT
Those with knowledge of the world of security will notice; those who don't, which is 99%, won't.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ... nice zot picture
What did you mean to type for the year?
No -- as CIC you GET a TS by default.
I would think you would have to have one (clearance) BEFORE the other (position)

It's not me that needs to be convinced that Kerry is a
turncoat. it's the people in the center.
Throwing unprovable blogs on the internet ain't gonna sway noone.
