I have just had a conversation with a member of the Washington press corps who attends the briefings and very often gets to ask a question. It was a brief conversation, but he acknowledged hearing something about John Kerry and a meeting in Kansas City. He asked if I had some good background information. He will, of course, be given Tom Lipscomb's number to call. In addition, I request that you put up on this thread your most informative links. If you can, make them from the original sources, not what appeared on FreeRepublic. Thanks for the help. Wouldn't it...

<p>NEW YORK (CNN) -- John Kerry's combat experience in Vietnam is central to his bid to become the next commander-in-chief, but Kerry's outspoken opposition to that war drew the personal attention of the president of the United States and FBI agents 33 years ago, documents reviewed by CNN reveal.</p>

Breaking now on the Internet. John Gilonna, staff writer of the Los Angeles Times, confirms that FBI File on John Kerry contain confirmation that he did not resign from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War until after the November 1971 VVAW Meeting in Kansas City where the Assassination Plot to kill US Senators who opposed the Vietnam War was discussed. This admission of the Kerry Campaign confirms news reports first broke by Tom Lipscomb in the NY Sun, who has reported over the past week that John Kerry attended the Kansas City meetings, despite the initial denials of the Kerry...

Legendary former New York City homicide detective "Bo" Dietl said Saturday that he was "shocked" by reports that Sen. John Kerry participated in a 1971 Kansas City meeting of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War where a plot to assassinate seven U.S. senators was considered. "I was shocked listening to the story," Dietl told WABC Radio's Monica Crowley, who had just broadcast an update by the reporter who broke the news last week, the New York Sun's Thomas Lipscomb. "I like John very, very much as a person," said Dietl, who's a personal friend of the Massachusetts Democrat. "But if...

In 1971, Scott Camil, a Vietnam Vet who was radicalized by Jane Fonda during the Winter Soldier Investigation, and a subsequent colleague of Senator John Kerry while the latter was the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, was the architect of a proposed VVAW conspiracy to assassinate seven sitting U.S. Senators. The assassination plot was debated at a VVAW conference in Kansas City, on November 12-15, 1971, and a number of eyewitness accounts, as well as FBI files obtained by Kerry biographer under the Freedom of Information Act, have placed Senator Kerry at the Kansas City VVAW conference, despite denials by...

KERRY’S CAMPAIGN ASKED A VETERAN TO CHANGE STORY KANSAS MEETING AT ISSUE By THOMAS H. LIPSCOMB Special to the Sun     A Vietnam veteran who said he remembers John Kerry participating in a 1971 Kansas City meeting at which an assassination plot was discussed says an official with the Kerry presidential campaign called him this month and pressured him to change his story.     The veteran, John Musgrave, says he was called twice by the head of Veterans for Kerry, John Hurley, while a reporter for the Kansas City Star worked on a follow-up piece to a New York Sun article about...

I had reported last week that at least two major newspapers and one news magazine was working on the story of John Kerry's attendance at a VVAW meeting in Kansas City on Nov. 12-15, 1971. According to Tom Lipscomb of the NY SUN, the assassination of U.S. senators was discussed at that meeting. One of the newspapers has spoken. It is the L.A. TIMES. John Glionna has written a Kerry-defending puff piece, FBI Shadowed Kerry During Activist Era. In 2163 words, he did not mention assassination, senators, or Scott Camil. This was nothing but partisan crap journalism. The biggest hit...

What did Sen. John Kerry know and when did he know it about a plot to assassinate pro-Vietnam War U.S. senators hatched at a November 1971 Kansas City meeting of the group Vietnam Veterans Against America? According to presidential biographer Douglas Brinkley, that's the question Sen. Kerry needs to answer. If it turns out that the likely Democratic presidential nominee knew of the treasonous plan, Brinkley says he had an obligation to go to the authorities. "The question is: did Kerry quit [VVAW] before Kansas City or did he quit after Kansas City," Brinkley told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg. "If...

On hold for the Bill Watterburg show on megapowerful KGO in San Francisco to discuss Kerry and Kansas City. While on hold, I just heard a newsman say that the FBI followed Kerry around for a year at that time and found nothing illegal. What a BS spin on the news.

On the evening September 11th, 1970: thirty-one years to the day before al-Qaeda’s attack on America, John Forbes Kerry was sitting in a room somewhere with the other leaders of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, engaged in a busy meeting of the Executive Committee. Among other things they discussed plans to brand all American soldiers as “war criminals” (literally so, in the form of demonstrations outside of induction centers, “for the purpose of making clear the transition between citizen and war criminal”) and making plans for a speaking tour starring fake Vietnam veteran Al Hubbard and unindicted traitor Jane Fonda....

John Forbes Kerry – Domestic Terrorist March 19, 2004 - by William A. Mayer We are not sure exactly what one has to do, in these days of moral ablation, to disqualify oneself from running for elective office. The Clinton years notwithstanding, there have always been parameters within which national candidates must comport themselves - certain minimum standards that even prospective politicians might reasonably meet. This year, however is very different. It’s quite clear that the Democrat Party is busted - a sprung watch - beyond repair. The nominative process that we find ourselves within, clearly demonstrates this. That...

KANSAS CITY - (KRT) - Confronted with 32-year-old FBI records, Sen. John Kerry's campaign all but conceded he attended a 1971 Kansas City meeting where a fellow anti-war veteran called for political assassinations. Those active in Vietnam Veterans Against the War at the time stress that the suggestion for such a violent approach was angrily rejected. They say their memories do not include Kerry taking part in the radical discussion. A statement Thursday by Kerry's camp said the Massachusetts Democrat did not recall the meeting, although FBI surveillance material and the group's archives clearly show that Kerry resigned from his...

MILL VALLEY, Calif. — Senator Kerry of Massachusetts yesterday retreated from his earlier steadfast denials that he attended a meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War at which a plan to assassinate U.S. Senators was debated. The reversal came as new evidence, including reports from FBI informants, emerged that contradicted Mr. Kerry’s previous statements about the gathering, which was held in Kansas City, Mo. in November 1971. “John Kerry had no personal recollection of this meeting 33 years ago,” a Kerry campaign spokesman, David Wade, said in a statement e-mailed last night from Idaho, where Mr. Kerry is on vacation....

March 19, 2004 -- **BREAKING** WinterSoldier.com has obtained solid evidence that John Kerry continued to represent the VVAW well after the infamous November 12-15 1971 meeting at which that organization voted on whether to commit political assassinations. See our new "So when did John Kerry leave the VVAW, anyway?" links in the Documents, Film Clips, Audio and Cartoons section. For example, the New York Times identified Kerry as "spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War" in this article on January 11, 1972. In fact, as late as April 22, 1972, Kerry was still being identified in press reports as a...

LISTEN TO MICHAEL REAGAN SHOW Michael Reagan plans to talk about the growing controversy of whether John Kerry was at a meeting in Nov. 1971 in which the hierarchy of Vietnam Veterans Against the War voted on whether to assassinate United States Senators. It is planned for about 6:15 or so, Eastern time. FReepers, this story is building. It is only going to be contained for so long. A major network show, a major cable show, two major newspapers, and a major magazine are looking into the story. Perhaps a Pullitzer is in the future for reporter Tom Lipscomb.
