As I first posted on October 27, 2004, just before the election, there was evidence unfolding that John Kerry was tied to North Vietnamese communists who had a plan to end the war in their favor—a war which they know they could not win—by building an anti-war momentum in the United States and hoping that would cause the United States to pull out and thus lose the war.
Central to that plan, we are now finding out, was John Kerry, failed presidential candidate.
John Kerry steadfastly refused to release his Vietnam War diary during the election campaign, claiming that he’d given exclusive rights to a writer named Douglas Brinkley. But Brinkley denied that.
Kerry had previously admitted he once met with a communist leader, in Paris, since he happened to be there anyway on his honeymoon. In actual fact, it’s now well-documented that he’d gone there several times and met on more than one occasion with Vietnamese communists and leaders of the move to create an anti-American backlash against the war.
Now according to Newsweek magazine, “Kerry’s diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris.”
And it turns out that when John Edwards, Kerry’s running mate, saw a certain passage in the diary near the beginning of the campaign, it floored him. The passage in question indicated—in Kerry’s own writing—that Kerry had met with communist Vietnamese terrorists in Paris.
And remarkably, we find this out only now, after the election.
I speculate that the liberal-left media work this way so that they can still claim to have “covered the story”—and thus claim to be unbiased and thorough when covering all the news—although clearly the timing is the key.
[…]
Though Kerry’s sit-down with North Vietnamese representatives had been reported late in the campaign, his description of them as “terrorists” would have set off smoke alarms.The prospect that the top Democrat was willing to negotiate with “terrorists” 35 years ago would undoubtedly have cemented the Bush campaign’s central message on Kerry: Anyone who would negotiate with terrorists can’t be trusted with U.S. national security in a post-9/11 world.
John Edwards was “flabbergasted” by the news, Newsweek said. He recognized immediately how important it was to keep Kerry’s terrorist confab secret.
“Let me get this straight,” he told campaign staffers who delivered the shocker. “He met with terrorists? Oh, that’s good.”
[…]
So to encapsulate this story, it would appear John Kerry met with North Vietnamese communist leaders in Paris, and under their direction brought home the message to stir up an American backlash against the war so that America would lose the war.
In addition, we now find that he’d met with Vietnamese communist terrorists—and that’s his description—in Paris as well. This despite claiming he only went to Paris once.
So Kerry appears to have met with and worked for communists in their interests against the United States, and negotiated with terrorists. This is the man presumed to be the best leader of a nation in a war against terrorism?
And none of this came out during the election, thanks to a sympathetic media, while George Bush’s National Guard dental records were the subject of the most intense scrutiny in the history of the world. That may in itself be among the most scary aspects of all of this.
I imagine there’s lots more to find yet in this Pandora’s Box.
