Vero Beach, FL - (TRUNEWS) U.S. Senator John McCain recorded a Tokyo Rose-style propaganda message that was broadcast on North Vietnamese radio in 1969.
TRUNEWS, a nonprofit Christian digital news app, obtained the bombshell audio recording and released it today on the organization’s daily newscast hosted by Rick Wiles. TRUNEWS acquired the audio recording in cooperation with WeSearchR.com, a new media company founded by Charles Johnson.
The 1969 North Vietnamese radio broadcast has never been heard in the United States of America. In fact, there has never been any knowledge that such a recording existed. The audio recording was found in a misplaced file in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The broadcast was recorded by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, a branch of the CIA that monitored international shortwave and foreign radio broadcasts.
Lt. Commander John McCain was shot down over Hanoi by a North Vietnamese missile while flying his 23rd bombing mission. Both of his arms and one leg were broken. He was pulled ashore by North Vietnamese who took him to a prison known by POWs as the “Hanoi Hilton.”
McCain was a prisoner of war for five and a half years. He was released on March 14, 1973, and returned to the United States of America as a war hero. His POW legacy propelled McCain to victory in a race for a U.S. Congressional seat in Arizona in 1982. He replaced Barry Goldwater in the Senate in 1986.
In the propaganda recording, Lt. Commander McCain said he was “guilty of crimes against the Vietnamese country and people.” He confessed that he bombed “their cities, towns, and villages and caused many injuries, even deaths, for the people of Vietnam.”
He praised the medical care and kindness of his communist captors even though he came to North Vietnam as “an aggressor.” McCain said he wished to express his “deep gratitude” for their “kind treatment” and that he “will never forget” the kindness extended to him by the communist North Vietnamese.
Senator McCain is running for a sixth six-year term in the Senate. He is facing a strong primary challenge from former State Senator Dr. Kelli Ward, a physician in Lake Havasu.
The Arizona Republican Primary is August 30. Sen. McCain will turn age 80 on the day before the primary.
Here is the actual script of John McCain’s 1969 “Tokyo Rose” propaganda broadcast on North Vietnamese radio.
To the Vietnamese people and the government of the DRVN:
From John Sidney McCain, 624787, Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy, born 29 August, 1936, Panama, home state Oregon. Shot down 26 October, 1967, A-4E aircraft.
I, as a U.S. airman, am guilty of crimes against the Vietnamese country and people. I bombed their cities, towns and villages and caused many injuries, even deaths, for the people of Vietnam.
I was captured in the capital city of Hanoi, while attacking it. After I was captured, I was taken to the hospital in Hanoi, where I received very good medical treatment. I was given an operation on my leg, which allowed me to walk again, and a cast on my right arm, which was badly broken in three places.
The doctors were very good and they knew a great deal about the practice of medicine. I remained in the hospital for some time and regained much of my health and strength. Since I arrived in the camp of detention, I received humane and lenient treatment.
I received this kind treatment and food even though I came here as an aggressor and the people who I injured have much difficulty in their living standards. I wish to express my deep gratitude for my kind treatment and I will never forget this kindness extended to me.

The one POW that endorsed McCain was his cell mate for the first 3 weeks only.
Right after the North Vietnamese confirmed that McCain was a son of an Admiral and World War II hero they moved McCain.
The other POWs against McCain were his fellow P.O.W.s at the Hanoi Hilton.
McCain is NOT a hero. He cracked and gave away information that got U.S. Navy and Marine Pilots killed.
Bingo!
HORSE HILLARY. Then why would a former Hanoi Hilton POW endorse him in 2008 along with over 300 senior retired officers and I imagine the one I knew wasn’t the only POW.
You don’t even know who I’m speaking of LOL. You really don’t. You may think you do but you don’t. McCain’s dad was Commander in Chief of Pacific Fleet four stars IIRC. His grandfather was also an admiral.
Bottom line, he could have come home early but he didn’t and Adm Stockdale praised him for it.
John McCain in the Crucible
Commentary by James B. Stockdale
The New York Times
..... I think John McCain is solid as a rock.
And I consider it blasphemy to smudge the straight-arrow prisoner-of-war
record of a man who was near death when he arrived at Hoa Loa prison 1967:
both arms broken, left leg broken, left shoulder broken by a civilian with a
rifle butt.
He was eventually taken to the same rat-infested hospital room I had
occupied
two years earlier, and, like me, he had surgery on his leg. By then the
Vietnamese had discovered that his father was the ranking admiral in the
Pacific Fleet, and he received an offer that, as far as I know, was made to
no other American prisoner: immediate release, no strings attached. He
refused, thereby sentencing himself to four more years in a cell.
There was a special cramped and hot privy-like structure in that Hanoi
prison
reserved for whichever American was causing the Vietnamese the most trouble.
I was the first in the camp to be locked up in it, and I gave it the name
Calcutta.
There was only room for one person at a time in the cage, and after a couple
of months I was taken out and marched back to a regular cell. As I limped
along, I sneaked a peek at my replacement: John McCain, hobbling along on
his
own bad leg.
James B. Stockdale, a retired Navy Vice Admiral, was the Reform Party
vice-presidential candidate in 1992.

REAL heroes don’t make propaganda videos for the enemy.
Name? Now keep in mind many officers from LT Cmdr on up were there also and a few even at that time outranked McCain besides Stockdale. Also keep in mind they could communicate. I’m not posting the man I knew but two Freepers can confirm it I sent PM to.
He musta been a hell of a busy man. The Konspiracy Goobers were in here two nights ago swearing he started the Forestall Fire because Kookbeuskonspiracy said so.
Okay WHICH POW are you speaking about? The POW I was talking about was an Airforce Pilot for the first 3 weeks.
I don’t understand your point about McCain’s father too?
Are you saying his father was not an Admiral or a World War II hero?
Here is his father.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._McCain_Jr.
JS McCain Sr was also an Admiral. And the pilot I knew was not USAF and was senior to McCain in rank and TIS.
I see you are not denying McCain making that propaganda message for communist North Vietnam, and now trying to go somewhere else. Check maew! LOL!
I bet a 1000 to 1 you were also saying the same thing to the Freepers that said McCain made a propaganda message with North Vietnam a while back.
Does that make you feel powerful by using left wing tactics such as “racist, homophob, sexist” and in THIS INSTANCE conspiracy theorist. LOL!
You just can’t handle facts and the truth can you?
One of these 300. https://www.gwu.edu/~action/2008/chrndeb08/mccain092608pr300.html likely more but one for 100% certainty.
Here is a video of many guys with POW organization saying McCain is no friend of the POWs.

Politically I can’t stand him. I’m separating politics from his Naval service. As I said Nam was not WW2 or even Korea. Our POW’s there faced brutal ongoing tortures for the longest period of war in our history as a nation. Did you forget that part? Could you withstand it? Well could you? If McCain’s treatment followed that of the one I knew they likely isolated him from day one. But I will say this. I’ll take Stockdale’s word on the matter of McCain’s behavior over yours any day.
I can say I’m a German Shepherd. I go on what I can confirm. I knew a Hanoi Hilton POW of higher rank. I know he endorsed McCain in 2008 and at least two others can confirm it. But due to konspiracy kooks who like to harass I will not post his name.
Agreed. The torture was horrific, and everyone has a breaking point. I would challenge those throwing stones to endure 1/100th of that torture, and let's see how they would stand up to it.
Col "Bud" Day, Medal of Honor recipient, and one of the most decorated military officers of all time, was held with McCain. They were cellmates for a time. Day resisted, as did McCain. Both men eventually broke under severe, severe torture. They all did.
The people who are sitting on the sidelines today throwing judgment on these men are a__holes.
Plain and simple.
Yawl may not know this but Trump endorsed McCain the other day. Along with Ryan and Ayote.
It sucks but he won’t be campaigning for the. The fact that they wanted his endorsement says they know it is worth something.
