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!
Does the author have proof?
They are as Leftist a fishwrap..as there is in America. They will never print anything from Free Republic...
I'm safe....
Kerry (and other extremist liberal Democrats) support the Sandanistas? Naaaaaaaaaaaaa. Would they? In their unending quest for "social justice" (read: nanny state) and socialism, they would NEVER side with communists and Marxists, now would they?
Kerry desn't even deserve a security clearance at a local Papa Gino's.
If Kerry gets in, maybe he will make Ron Dellums Secretary of "Defense?" Let me be the first to present proposed choice # 1 for Kerry's secretary of Defense, the incomparable leftist and Kerry fellow-treveler, Ron Dellums! (ARGGGH).

Real gems, Kerry, Dellums and all their pals.
Kerry should call Dellums and they should go to Cuba and hang out with their communist friends. With any luck, some Marxists from Nicaragua can also come over and have some tea with him and Castro in Havana while they plot the demise of the USA.
Kerry can take a hike.
If true, and he becomes (God forbid) President, how could he get clearance?
Yikes.""
Hasn't sKerry served on the Intelligence Committee in the Senate. How could he be appointed to that post? If he has no security clearances, how could he be privy to some of the most sensitive information we have, is ABSURD!!!!
Senators take care of their own.
Kerry Intelligence Briefings Delayed (He demands meetings for ...
If it was to come to pass. It won't. But if it was to happen. It wouldn't be pretty.............

I am beginning to wonder if Fox was not all a plot to get us to trust them and then gradually reveal their liberal core....you know, the frog on a gradual boil!
Agree with you however I do like some of their guests
Krystal, some of the military guys. But now when they say "fair and balance" I am disgusted, as it's only words,
that means nothing just like skerry and edwards.
Tuning out Fox. Watching C-span uninterupted so I dont have to listen to pompous talking heads telling me what I just heard or their sleezy analysis of what I heard. I'm up on the issues, the ones that matter to me. I don't need
the liberal media telling me a thing. After the Cheney Edwards debate the first words out of Hume's mouth was that Cheney "looked OLD". I could not believe my ears that this was his first response. Nothing about content, just appearence, Hume tumbled to the bottom of my list, with that comment and so did Fox. If it's looks that elects a President and Vice-President or even their "elocution" of lies that impresses these folks and not CONTENT and not purpose, then they are letting every one down damn liberal journalist groupies. Particularly bothersome is the fact that FOX doesn't cover the positive and historical events as they should, none of them do and lately even the other networks are doing a better job for doing a horrible job at the coverage. Disgusted with them all.
interesting possbile October Surprise ping!
So, did he just not show up at the Senate Intelligence Committee meetings and hearings out of laziness or was he not allowed to view Top Secret material so what's the point of showing up?
Good one!
I bet page D-43 or in fine print with the classified or legal notices.
So who? What? is "DC REPORTER"??
Without a source, a rumor is a rumor, no matter how much we wish it fact....
I'm afraid I have to agree. In fact, I hope the media (MSM or conservative) WON'T run with this story unless and until some authentic documents surface to back it up. The Dems would just turn it into another Rathergate situation and the whole subject of Kerry's military and anti-war activities would lose credibility. We'd be playing right into Dem hands.
That said, I have no doubt that this story is true and I sincerely hope that documented proof will be forthcoming.
In his case, that's an oxymoron, with emphasis on the moron.
Well they'd better get cracking. They haven't even put this thing in the can yet.
"Based on Mindbender26's posting history, you can take it to the bank that Mindbender26 had this conversation."
I Agree! Now we just need others willing to put a little work into this and get it out.
Don't pop a vein. The broken-glass (rhymes with dumb-*ss) democRATS will vote for him anyway.
Yup, sKerry could be taped having sex with farm animals and the whore MSM would say it wasn't newsworthy.
But if this is true, SwiftVets, POWs for Truth, freepers, and bloggers know there are more ways than one to skin a sKerry.
