This is a story you just need to read.

(Especially if you're considering voting for John Kerry. No lies, no distortions, just the plain truth)

Newly released FBI files reveal that presumed Democrat presidential nominee John Kerry attended a second meeting with North Vietnamese communists in Paris in the early 1970s. Kerry has previously admitted to meeting only once with the North Vietnamese delegations in 1970.

According to the FBI files, Kerry met with representatives from the North Vietnamese government in Paris in 1971 in an effort to secure the release of captured American prisoners of war. Kerry has previously acknowledged meeting "both delegations" of Vietnamese communists in Paris in 1970, but has said nothing of the 1971 meeting.

Researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s, believes Kerry is hiding key aspects about his anti-war past from the public as he seeks the presidency.

"Kerry has admitted to one meeting with Madam Binh. Now we have reason to believe there was a second, so let's press them to admit the second," Corsi told CNS News.com. "Kerry needs to explain to the American people why he directly went into negotiations with communists." Corsi has written an essay on Kerry's dealings with the Vietemese communists on the Internet site WinterSoldier.com.

According to Gerald Nicosia, a Kerry supporter and the author of the book "Home to War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans' Movement," Kerry's second visit to Paris to meet with emissaries of the North Vietnamese communist government is documented in redacted FBI files from the era.

"The files record that Kerry made a second trip to Paris that summer to learn how the North Vietnamese might release prisoners," Nicosia wrote in an essay in the Los Angeles Times on May 23.

"After deciding not to run [for Congress] in 1970, he and his new wife, Julia Thorne, traveled to France in May to meet Madame Nguyen Thi Binh and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a 'fact-finding mission,'" Nicosia wrote.

Nicosia noted, "Kerry had tried to distinguish between his own trips to meet with the Vietnamese in Paris, which he considered necessary to fight through the lies of his own government, and actual negotiations with the enemy, which Kerry knew were illegal."

Kerry told the New York Times on April 24 that his first meeting with the Vietnamese communists in 1970 was "not a big deal." "People were dropping in [at the Paris Peace Talks].

It was a regular sort of deal," Kerry explained to the New York Times.

But Corsi believes it was a very big deal. "You had Henry Kissinger there trying to negotiate formally with the Paris peace delegation, and then these guys [from Vietnam Veterans Against the War] are off on their own side show, establishing back channels to the Vietnamese communists.

All of this is against the law," Corsi said, referring to
(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953,) which declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.

"Exactly who was Kerry to have arranged these trips?

He had to be in discussion with some link with the communist party of Vietnam in order to establish these trips and meetings," Corsi explained.

'What Is Really Happening' Indeed

Kerry also might have had plans to go to South Vietnam in 1971, according to a June 16, 1971 article in the communist Daily World newspaper.

"Former Navy Lt. John Kerry is planning a three-week trip to South Vietnam in July to report on 'what is really happening' to the GI's there, he told newsmen here," read the article, written by the Daily World's Ted Pearson.

Kerry was attending an event in Chicago with Jesse Jackson, who at the time was head of the organization Operation Bread Basket.

It is unclear whether Kerry ever made the trip to South Vietnam in 1971.

Kerry's campaign did not return several phone calls seeking comment for this article.

Nicosia has criticized Kerry in the past for not being more open about his anti-war past.

"I am in kind of an awkward position here.

I am a Kerry supporter, and I certainly don't want to do anything that hurts him.

On the other hand, my number one allegiance is to truth. So I am going to go with where the facts are, and John is going to have to deal with that," Nicosia told CNS News.com back in March when the contents of the FBI files became public and caused Kerry to revise his past statements on a series of issues dealing with his past.

"I am having some problems with the things he is saying right now, which are not matching up with accuracy," Nicosia said in March.

"I think [Kerry] may be worried or the people around him may be worried that his association with VVAW is a very negative thing and they want John to back away from it," he added.

Kerry and Fonda in the Communists' Hall of Fame

Kerry's anti-war activism and his meetings with the communists had a big impact, according to Corsi.

"Vietnamese communists would not have won the war without John Kerry.

They were cultivating his protest activity with the VVAW," Corsi said.

Corsi said the Vietnamese communists have shown their gratitude to Kerry by displaying a photo of him at Ho Chi Minh City's Protestors Hall of the War Remnants Museum.






The photo of fellow anti-war activist and actress Jane Fonda also appears in the Women's Museum in Saigon.

"As soon as [Kerry] came onto the seen, [the Vietnamese communists] latched on to him like bees on to honey.

[The communists] said, 'This is a guy who tells our story, it will undermine the sympathy for the war in America,'"

The man who would be president!







Sen. John Kerry in Hanoi seated under a bust of Communist Vietnam's deceased leader, Ho Chi Minh.

Kerry is the man that denounced his military service.

Kerry is the man who had an alliance with the treason queen herself Jane Fonda who was famous for befriending the enemy.

Kerry is the man who was the head of the antiwar movement.

Kerry says his anti-war protests did not render support to the enemy in time of war and that his activities back then did not violate the definition
(depends on what the meaning of is is) of treason given in Article III, Section 3, of the US Constitution. The exhibit paying tribute to Kerry in the War Protestors Hall of the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City tells a very different story.

Kerry is the man who not only called for, but also embraced the idea of men dodging the draft and moving to Canada.

Kerry is the man who called for men to turn their backs on their country.

Kerry is the man that called combat murder.

Kerry is the man that now embraces what he once denounced and is now claiming to be a war hero.

Kerry is the man who once called his fellow war veterans baby killers, but is now proud that he himself killed while in combat.

Kerry is the man that is despised by the veterans of foreign wars organization.

Kerry said that for Americans to feel safe again, "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a 'nuisance'."



KERRY'S VOTING RECORD TELLS ALL


For years Kerry has voted to cut the military and Kerry has voted hundreds of times to raise your taxes.

That's why people say Kerry never met a tax he didn't like.

So on the seminal issue that defines his campaign for president, John Kerry's words and deeds disqualify him for high public office.

The subsequent thirty-three years haven't been so hot either.

In the US Senate, John Kerry has voted to gut intelligence spending by a cumulative $6 billion.

Kerry has voted to cut defense spending 38 times.

Kerry voted to cut pay for military families 12 times.

Kerry voted against the death penalty for terrorists.

Kerry voted for the biggest tax increase in US history.

Kerry voted against family-oriented tax relief like eliminating the Death Tax and the Marriage Penalty Tax.

The non-partisan National Journal has labeled Kerry the Most Liberal Senator in Washington. Kerry has authored only three pieces of legislation in 19 years to become law.

1991: Kerry Voted To "Reduce Funding For The Space Station From $2 Billion To $100 Million," And Transfer Funds To Other Programs. (H.R. 2519 Kerry Voted Yea)

1992: Kerry Voted To Terminate Space Station "Freedom" Project. (H.R. 5679 Kerry Voted Yea)

1993: Kerry Voted "To Terminate The Space Station Program."
(H.R. 2491 Kerry Voted Nay)

1993: Kerry Voted To Terminate Space Station Program And Divert Funds To Tax Cuts. (H.R.3167 Kerry Voted Yea)

1994: Kerry Voted To Cut $1.9 Billion From Space Station Program And Terminate Program. (H.R. 4624 Kerry Voted Yea)

1994: Kerry Unsuccessful In Cutting Space Station Funds Due To International Opposition. ("Space-Station," The Canadian Press, 2/22/94)

1995: Kerry Introduced Legislation To Eliminate Space Station And The National Aerospace Plane Program. (Kathy Gambrell, Aide: "Kerry Supports NASA, But Not Bush Space Program," Aerospace Daily, 5/4/04)

1996: Kerry Voted To Cut $1.6 Billion From NASA's Human Space Flight Program And Terminate Space Station Program.
(H.R. 3666, Kerry Voted Nay)

It is Kerry who desperately wants Americans to believe that he will

"protect"

America more effectively than his opponent has, although throughout his campaign Kerry has insisted that,

"The global terror threat has been exaggerated by the Bush administration."

This is no surprise coming from a man who during his nearly two-decade tenure in the Senate, has voted consistently and unfailingly against military and intelligence spending, including the $87 million to support our troops in Iraq.

Kerry voted for the war in Iraq but failed to fund it, saying that he was only in favor of "threatening" to use force in Iraq, when the resolution clearly stated that "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate."

No mention of "threatening" at all.

This is vintage Kerry, which is why the term

flip-flopper

has stuck to him like Crazy Glue.

Kerry said he believes in strong defense but voted to cut a billion dollars for counter terrorism after the first World Trade Center bombing and to cut $1.5 billion from intelligence funding the following year.

Kerry voted three times to exempt terrorists from the death penalty but then changed his mind.

Kerry voted for the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill but then changed his mind, setting up a soft-money PAC from which Kerry has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations, unions, etc.

Kerry said he was against same-sex "marriages" but voted against the Defense of Marriage Act.

Kerry voted for the No Child Left Behind Act but changed his mind.

Kerry voted for the 2001 Patriot Act but changed his mind.

Kerry voted against Desert Storm in 1991 but changed his mind, writing to a constituent that he "supported" it.

But then Kerry turned around and voted to slash over $3 billion from the defense budget.

In 1992, Kerry voted to cut $6 billion from defense.

In 1993, Kerry voted against increased defense spending for military pay raises,and the same year Kerry introduced a plan to cut the number of Navy submarines and crews, reduce the number of light infantry units in the Army and tactical fighter wings in the Air Force, terminate the Navy's coastal mine-hunting ship program, and force the retirement of no fewer than 60,000 members of the armed forces in one year.

And every year since then, Kerry has voted against every intelligence, military and defense budget,

including those for the weapons that our servicemen and women are using throughout the world today. Among them, B-2 stealth bombers, F-16 Fighting Falcons, M1 Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, Tomahawk cruise missiles, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the Aegis anti-aircraft system. The list goes on and on and on.

And Kerry was one of only 12 senators (out of 87) to vote against funding for the protective Kevlar vests worn by our troops.

Remember in the first debate Kerry said.

"You don't send troops to war without the body armor that they need". "I've met kids in Ohio, parents in Wisconsin places, Iowa, where they're going out on the Internet to get the state-of-the-art body gear to send to their kids." "I think that's wrong".

All this is not surprising, coming from a man who is rated, according to his irrefutable voting record, as the No. 1 liberal in the U.S. Senate. Not No. 2 or No. 3 or No. 4 as his running mate, freshman senator Sen. John Edwards, but No.1!

Kerry has the gall to say. "The president just arbitrarily brought the hammer down and he rushed to war without the proper equipment for our troops". Is this guy kidding!



Kerry voted to kill every aircraft carrier laid down from 1988. Kerry voted to Kill the F-15 Strike Eagle. Kerry voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade. Kerry voted to Kill the B-1. Kerry voted to Kill the Patriot Anti Missile System. Kerry voted to Kill the FA-18. Kerry voted to Kill the F117.

In short, Kerry voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to include the battle armor for our troops.

Kerry also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the U.S.Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.

But then Kerry voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800%!


It is time for a realty check. Why do people believe anything that Kerry says? Kerry could not tell the truth if his life depended on it!!! The man is flat-out a liar!

All Kerry does is make false accusations about what will happen in the future, after the election is over. He knows it is a lie but who can prove it? When the time comes for whatever to happen and it doesn't Kerry will just say oh well.

The Democrats are all about scare tactics.

How many times have the Democrats told the African-American community, "If you vote for a Republican your churches will be burned, your children will be gunned down in the streets, and your men beaten and hanged"?

Well, has it happened?

NO!

Seniors, remember the 2000 election? The Democrats said, "If Bush wins you will lose your social security checks".

Well, it's been four years your checks are still coming.

Wake up people! Haven't you been lied to long enough?!!

Kerry is not fit to be president.

“You have a choice and Kerry’s the (WRONG CHOICE)!"
