I personally commend Senator Kerry for standing up against the US government and the atrocities it soldiers committed in Vietnam. His contacts with the North Vietnamese helped bring this illegal war to a speedy end.

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!
Note that "ruiner" is evidently a sleeper troll. Better late than never to out himself.
We'd better give them that down payment on the 2nd, or we'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

There's precedence for this type of thing. Clinton and his entire appointed adminstration would have been hard pressed to get clearances. Read Unlimited Access as to how they skirted past the regs.
Did you commend benedict arnold as well?
This SHOULD be news, but it won't. This is part of sKerry's military record. The MSM continues to insist he has released all of his military records, even in the face of incontrovertible evidence that he has not. They absolutely refuse to ask ANY question about this, or any of the related issues.
What is Kerry covering up? The MSM does not want to even ask.
The MSM is in full coverup mode. No way will anything negative on Kerry see the light of day.
I hope you just forgot your </sarcasm> tag...
Troll, the only atrocities Kerry could truthfully speak of were the ones he committed.
Like running from building to building burning a village down with his zippo, shooting the livestock, and ripping up a boat on the river resulting in the death of children -which he magically morphed into VC combatants.
Crap! That makes having Kerry CiC all that more dangerous!
In the words of the first Islamic terrorist:
Should one tell you that a mountain had changed its place, you are a liberty to doubt it; but if anyone tells you that a man has changed his character, do not believe it.

This needs to be verified.
I am beginning to smell the ozone on Ruiner.
Considering you guys want the government to fix everything, you sure do exhibit a lot of paranoia toward it! Can you say SCHIZOPHRENIA!?!
Being able to get a TS is not a Constitutional requirement for becoming president. Once you're elected (or in a position to be elected), you've obviously got a "need to know." Which is to say, again, POTUS gets his TS by default.
"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."
Thats the source.
Why don't you tell that to Colonel Bud Day?
When I left the Federal Government, I signed the same form. He had his Top Secret clearance taken away and yet sat on the Intelligence Committee. Did he start sitting on the Intelligence Committee AFTER Clinton took office? Remember how Clinton waived a lot of the security requirements for his people? Normally security clearances would not be in the archives but what if Berger removed documentation that discussed Clinton clearing Kerry?
Why in the world this guy did not get held for treason is beyond me. Talk about giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
I'll wager you have never served in the U.S. military.
Kerry is a traitor, and I would very much like to tell him that to his face. You, on the other hand aren't worthy of a post from me.
