New York Times: Every Network Should Show 'Stolen Honor'

The first sentence of the New York Times' review today of "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" was what we expected: It said Sinclair Broadcast Group should not show the documentary. Then the pro-Kerry daily explained why in a stunning recommendation:
"It should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television."

(…)TV reviewer Alessandra Stanley indicates she doesn't like the fact that "Stolen Honor" will hinder Sen. John Kerry's candidacy, but she nonetheless advises that "it does help viewers better understand the rage fueling the unhappy band of brothers who oppose Mr. Kerry's candidacy and his claim to heroism."

Stanley writes:
This film is payback time, a chance to punish one of the most famous antiwar activists, Mr. Kerry, the one who got credit for serving with distinction in combat, then, through the eyes of the veterans in this film, went home to discredit the men left behind. The film begins with dirgelike music and a scary black-and-white montage of stark images of soldiers and prisoners as a deep voice sorrowfully intones, "In other wars, when captured soldiers were subjected to the hell of enemy prisons, they were considered heroes." The narrator adds, "In Vietnam they were betrayed."

The imagery is crude, but powerful: each mention of Mr. Kerry's early 1970's meeting with North Vietnamese government officials in Paris is illustrated with an old black-and-white still shot of the Arc de Triomphe, an image that to many viewers evokes the Nazi occupation of Paris. ...

The film's producer, Carlton Sherwood, a former investigative reporter and a Vietnam veteran, gives his own testimony, explaining that even though he has uncovered all kinds of misdeeds in his career, the history of Mr. Kerry's antiwar activism is "a lot more personal." He recalls listening to Mr. Kerry's testimony in 1971, saying, "I felt an inner hurt no surgeon's scalpel could remove."

That pain is the main theme of the documentary, which can be seen in its entirety on the Internet for $4.99. One former P.O.W., John Warner, lashes out at Mr. Kerry for having coaxed Mr. Warner's mother to testify at the Winter Soldier Investigation, where disgruntled veterans testified to war crimes they committed. Calling it a "contemptible act," Mr. Warner, who spent more than five years as a prisoner, tells the camera that Mr. Kerry was the kind of man who preyed on a mother's grief "purely for the promotion of your own political agenda."

Hat tip: Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth

Watch YOUR BACK!

”I GOT YOUR BACK”

John Kerry says, “I got your back!”

Did he say that to his fellow Swiftees, just before he left Vietnam….early?

Did he say that to US, just before he helped to lose the Vietnam War?

(Maybe Kerry said it to the North Vietnam representatives in Paris.)

Yup, he’s got our backs . . . just before we feel the knife.

The Mile Wide SMILE

Blackfive


Finally, I leave you with a personal experience. We have a group of Afghan men who clean the building where I work. They're here every day and I see them in the hallway seven days a week. They like to practice their English, or at least the English phrases they're learning in books or class: "Good morning, How are you? I am fine, thank you..." You get the idea. They didn't work on election day, because they were voting, and the roads were pretty congested. I asked them the first morning they were back to work if they had voted. They all got smiles a mile wide, had to show me their thumbs with ink on them, and each of them wanted to shake my hand and I got to congratulate each of them on their new country! Now, if that doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then you have ice water in your veins!

There are good stories out there. Many in the media can't see them, won't find them, won't even look for them.

Stolen Valor

Former POW: Kerry Preyed on My Family
Dave Eberhart, NewsMax.com
Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2004

A former Vietnam War prisoner of war charges that as he was being tortured by his communist captors, John Kerry was preying on his family to denounce the United States.

The new allegation against Kerry is made in the controversial documentary “Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal” by James H. Warner, a former Marine Corps naval flight officer who won the Silver Star after spending more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison.

(…)Warner recounts that Kerry personally recruited his grieving mother to testify at the Winter Soldier hearings – testimony that Warner was confronted and taunted with while in captivity, testimony that later appeared in John Kerry’s infamous wartime book, “The New Soldier.”

(…)“It’s a pretty horrendous thing, these family members being called by Kerry or his group while their son or husband is being tortured in a Hanoi prison,” Burkett said. “And the message to the POW families was clear: If you speak out against the U.S., the communists will go easy on your loved one.”

Burkett said the effort to involve the POW families in the anti-war movement was one of the most “evil things Kerry and his group ever did.”

Hitchens' Opinion

Hitchens

It's a good coincidence that the Duelfer report appears in the same week as The Bomb In My Garden, a memoir by Saddam Hussein's chief nuclear physicist. Between them, or taken together, the two bodies of evidence enable two quite different yet quite compatible conclusions. The first is that the Saddam regime was more disarmed than perhaps even its leadership knew. The second is that it would have been very unwise to proceed on any assumption except that of its latent danger.

This may seem like an attempt to have it both ways, but consider: We only know all of this, about the Baathist weapons programs and their erosion and collapse, because of regime change. Up until then, any assumption that all the fangs had been removed would have been a highly irresponsible one. It would have involved, quite simply, taking Saddam Hussein's word for it. His prior record of deception, double-dealing, and concealment makes that quite impossible. The long-felt need was for an administration that did not give him the benefit of any doubt, that had a nasty and suspicious mind, and that would resolve any ambiguity on the presumption of guilt.

(…)His conclusion is that, given an improvement in the economic and political climate, Saddam could and would have done one of two things: reconstitute the program or share it with others. Had it not been for 9/11, it is sobering to reflect, there would have been senior members of even this administration arguing that sanctions on Iraq should be eased. And, through the open scandal of the oil-for-food program, there were many states or clienteles within states who were happy to help Saddam enrich himself. Moreover, within the "box" that supposedly "contained" him were also living Kim Jong-il, A.Q. Khan, and Col. Qaddafi. We know from the Kay report that, as late as March of last year, Saddam's envoys were meeting North Korea's team in Damascus and trying to buy missiles off the shelf. It would never have stopped: this ceaseless ambition to acquire the means of genocide. If anything, we underestimated that aspect of it.

An interesting opinion. With the release of 4,500 entities having dealing with Saddam’s regime, the plot thickens.

The Emperor Pays a Visit

Antimedia’s good friend tells the story:

More news the media won't reveal

Good Tuesday morning! John Kerry brought his "front porch meeting" to our Canonsburg, PA neighborhood on Labor Day morning. Since you will never hear the truth from the TV or print media I thought that you should know from someone who was `almost' there.

The residents who live on the street where the event took place were not allowed to attend.

Kerry shipped in approximately 90 invitation only VIPs. In addition, there was a hard luck case who was about to lose her job at USAIR and another was an elderly woman who was having health care problems. Neither one was from this neighborhood. The street was closed to all traffic the night before and all residents on the street were REQUIRED to remove their Bush/Cheney signs.

PENNSYLVANIA

Hugh Hewitt

Democratic Governor Ed Rendell is picking up where Gore-Lieberman left off in Florida 2000, by doing all he can to obstruct the vote of the military serving overseas.

IF Gov. Rendell is attempting to obstruct the military vote . . . that is more despicable than the dead Chicago Democrat voters of the past, or the other dead registrants for this election. It’s more despicable than registered persons who can not be found.

Obstructionism may not be illegal but it is immoral. IF it is proven that Rendell participated in obstructing the vote . . . any vote . . . but especially the military vote, he should be driven out on the rail.

The previous Governor of Pennsylvania was Republican. With Pennsylvania, it could easily happen again in two years.

Voices of Iraq

The producers of VOICES OF IRAQ distributed over 150 DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS across the entire country to enable everyday people - mothers, children, teachers, sheiks and even insurgents - to document their lives and their hopes amidst the upheaval of a nation being born.

Beginning amidst the Falluja uprising in April, going through the marshlands in the South, the Kurdish communities in the North and ending in September of this year, thousands of ordinary Iraqis became filmmakers to reveal the richness, complexity and emotion of their lives.

This is an amazing project!

This afternoon, on FOX at approx. 5-5:30, there will be video clips from a documentary about life through the eyes of Iraqis. It should be very interesting.

DESPERATE DEMOCRATS

DAGNEY covers registration fraud, and hackers. You couldn’t guess in a million years which party! Okay, you’re right . . . .it’s the DEMOCRATS.

Further, I received a phone call from Republicans. During the call, I requested information about a sign. Well, seems there are none available because they are being stolen. The Republican Party had to order more signs.

STRANGE! THE KERRY SIGNS ARE STILL UP!

If they aren’t stealing Kerry signs, who do you think is stealing Bush signs . . . right again--seems like the Democrats want to win by hook or crook (mostly by CROOK.)

Words of Wisdom--Iraqi Style

by Alaa

(...)So, I have been, personally very attentive to the debates and positions of both candidates, and I have some thoughts which I would like to share with you, my American friends. To start with, Senator Kerry may be a very good man and quite patriotic. Also we have to respect the almost 50% of the American people who lean towards the democrats. I don’t know much about domestic issues in the States so naturally, as might be expected, the position of any Iraqi would be mainly influenced by the issue that most concerns him. Thus, regardless of all the arguments of both candidates the main problem is that President Bush now represents a symbol of defiance against the terrorists and it is a fact, that all the enemies of America, with the terrorists foremost, are hoping for him to be deposed in the upcoming elections.

That is not to say that they like the democrats, but that they will take such an outcome as retreat by the American people, and will consequently be greatly encouraged to intensify their assault. The outcome here on the ground in Iraq seems to be almost obvious. In case President Bush loses the election there would be a massive upsurge of violence, in the belief, rightly or wrongly, by the enemy, that the new leadership is more likely to “cut and run” to use the phrase frequently used by some of my readers. And they would try to inflict as heavy casualties as possible on the American forces to bring about a retreat and withdrawal. It is crucial for them to remove this insurmountable obstacle which stands in their way. They fully realize that with continued American and allies’ commitment, they have no hope of achieving anything.

On the other hand if President Bush is reelected, this will prove to them that the American people are not intimidated despite all their brutality, and that their cause is quite futile. Yes there is little doubt that an election victory by President Bush would be a severe blow and a great disappointment for all the terrorists in the World and all the enemies of America. I believe that such an outcome would result in despair and demoralization of the “insurgent elements” here in Iraq, and would lead to the pro-democracy forces gaining the upper hand eventually. Note that we are not saying that President Bush is perfect, nor even that he is better than the Senator, just that the present situation is such that a change of leadership at this crucial point is going to send an entirely wrong message to all the enemies.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that many in the U.S. don’t quite appreciate how high the stakes are. The challenge is mortal, and you and we are locked in a War, a National Emergency; and in such circumstances partisan considerations must be of secondary importance. If you lose this war, you are no more, and you will have to withdraw within you boundaries cringing and waiting for terror to strike you in your homeland, afraid to move around, afraid to travel, afraid to do business abroad. You will have to see all your friends abroad annihilated and intimidated and nobody will have any confidence or trust in you anymore. And you will have to watch from far with bitterness the forces of darkness and evil taking over in many parts of this earth, with feelings of impotence and inability to do anything about it. In other words you would lose all credibility, and the fiends of terror and obscurantism would go triumphantly dancing the macabre dance of mayhem and death, and darkness would descend and obliterate the light and the hope.

You think I am exaggerating, you think I am being paranoid? I just pray that destiny would not prove all these things; I pray that these horrors will not come to pass. And all this for what? For failing to confront few thousands ex-baathists and demented religious fanatics and some common criminals, concentrated in some rural areas of a country of the size of just one of your states; and that for a nation that has defeated Natzism, Imperial Japan and the Soviet Empire!


Well if Senator Kerry is such a good man, and he may well be, then it would be prudent to wait just another four years to elect him, after the job is done. And if this is interference in your national affairs by a foreigner, I am not going to give you any apology for it.

Scare Tactics

Anti-Kerry Film Withdrawn From Abington Movie Theater
Delaware Professor Threatens Lawsuit
POSTED: 6:34 pm EDT October 19, 2004
UPDATED: 6:54 pm EDT October 19, 2004

ABINGTON, Pa. -- A film about Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War years brought controversy to the Delaware Valley Tuesday.

"Stolen Honor" was due to play at the Baederwood Theater in Abington, Pa., Tuesday night and it was a sellout. But, citing possible civil disobedience and a threatened lawsuit, the theater's owner decided not to show the controversial film.

One Professor can stop a film? This is an example of our education in the U.S.?
Dump that Professor, he doesn’t believe in observing and thinking for oneself. (Could Americans sue Michael Moore for defamation of character? Picture thousands of law suits in small claims courts throughout the U.S. Then we could call him POOR Michael Moore.)

But wait . . . maybe it’s the civil disobedience which stopped the film, not the law suit. And who would be causing the civil disobedience? The Democrats.

It is unlikely the Professor is a Republican Vietnam Vet. We wouldn’t be surprised to find out that he is a Democrat, a Kerry supporter. It wouldn’t be surprising to find out that his attorney is, also. No, I doubt we would be shocked. . . .shocked.

We can hope somebody sues the professor and his attorney. Censorship is the public’s interest. Sue him and stick to it. He'll likely want to drop the suit after the elections.

It's okay for us to hear about Michael Moore's propaganda piece for months at a time, but not to hear information about John Kerry. The troops should get copies of this documentary. After all, troops in Iraq were subjected to Moore-Manure.

Kerry's storm trooping front men of fear mongering are on the march. If they don't scare you about the draft, or the social security, or flu shots, they'll think of something else.

Kerry's people are afraid of everything except terrorists. Strange isn't it.

SLIPPING IN SLIME

Rosett

“Conflicts-of-Interest-R-Us”
Kofi Annan uses the Iraqi people’s money to investigate the Oil-for-Food fiasco.

Over at the United Nations "Conflicts-of-Interest-R-Us" world headquarters, there's a new twist on the former Oil-for-Food program for Iraq. Secretary General Kofi Annan has now decided that the U.N.-authorized investigation into Oil-for-Food, the "independent inquiry" headed by former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, will be funded with money left over in the administrative account of...Oil-for-Food.

In other words, Volcker's investigation, with its $30-million projected budget, will now be funded out of one of the same Oil-for-Food accounts Volcker is supposed to be investigating.
That's bad enough. The other problem with Annan's plan is that all Oil-for-Food money flowed from the oil wells of Iraq and was meant to bring aid to the Iraqi people. Any leftover funds belong by rights to the Iraqis, to serve their needs — not those of the U.N. So why should Annan use the Iraqi people's money to pay for an inquiry into an Iraq-relief program that under U.N. management became the biggest bungle in the history of humanitarian relief?

Maybe that seems natural to Annan, who runs a U.N. Secretariat that for over six years was paid by Saddam to supervise Saddam. But that was precisely one of the conflicts of interest that helped create the U.N. Oil-for-Food fiasco that now needs investigating. Under Oil-for-Food, the Secretariat collected a 2.2 percent cut of Saddam's oil revenues to cover the cost of ensuring that Saddam did nothing but good deeds for his fellow Iraqis with the rest of his oil income (apart from using .8 percent for the weapons inspections that for four years Saddam refused). The evidence is now legion of the $10 billion or more grafted by Saddam out of Oil-for Food; the expired medicines and rotten cooking oil shipped into Iraq; the relief funds spent on palaces, fancy cars, illicit arms, and whiskey for Saddam's Republican Guard.

How We Lost in Vietnam

The Interview

“How North Vietnam Won The WarTaken from The Wall Street Journal,
Thursday August 3, 1995

What did the North Vietnamese leadership think of the American antiwar movement? What was the purpose of the Tet Offensive? How could the U.S. have been more successful in fighting the Vietnam War? Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army, answers these questions in the following excerpts from an interview conducted by Stephen Young, a Minnesota attorney and human-rights activist. Bui Tin, who served on the general staff of North Vietnam's army, received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. He later became editor of the People's Daily, the official newspaper of Vietnam. He now lives in Paris, where he immigrated after becoming disillusioned with the fruits of Vietnamese communism.”

Question: How did Hanoi intend to defeat the Americans?

Answer: By fighting a long war which would break their will to help South Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh said, "We don't need to win military victories, we only need to hit them until they give up and get out."

Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?

A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.

A very informative interview. Hat tip: Swift Boat Vets for Truth (right side link) The interview is worth reading regardless of how you are voting. It explains some interesting perspectives . . . and truths.

During the past few months I have been reading much on the history of the Vietnam War and drawing some conclusions. When the Swift Boat operations began they could hardly go anywhere--they were relegated to coastal areas. By the time Kerry left Vietnam, the Swiftees were on the major rivers and into the lesser waterways. They were less hampered, more mobile, had control over much more of the water.

These Swift Boat crews fought hard and had gained much. In 1970, the Swift Boats were turned over to the Vietnam Navy—to patrol the coast and the inland waterways. You can see the progress when you read the reports, read the histories.

Now read how we lost the war (at the above site); it’s well-described in the interview.

KERRY DISCHARGE

Bandit

SECNAVINST 5420.174C, Section 9-1:

"d. The following applies to applicants who received less than fully honorable administrative discharges because of their civilian misconduct while in an inactive duty status in a reserve component and who were discharged or had their discharge reviewed on or after April 20, 1971: the NDRB shall either re characterize the discharge to Honorable without any additional proceedings or additional proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Court's Order of December 3, 1981, in Wood v. Secretary of Defense to determine whether proper grounds exist for the issuance of a less than honorable discharge, taking into account that:

(1) An other than honorable (formerly undesirable) discharge for an inactive duty reservist can only be based upon civilian misconduct found to have affected directly the performance of military duties;

(2) A general discharge for an inactive duty reservist can only be based upon civilian misconduct found to have had an adverse impact on the overall effectiveness of the military, including military morale and efficiency.

Bandit: “Section 9-1 explains how Kerry could havr received a less than honorable discharge due to ‘civilian misconduct found to have had an adverse impact on the overall effectiveness of the military, including military morale and efficiency.’"

”Vietnam Veterans Against the War and his discredited Winter Soldiers band of brothers certainty comes to mind as one possible finding for ‘civilian misconduct’ under SECNAVINST 5420.174C and would explain the record that Kerry refuses to address. “


[Note: There are strange happenings with Kerry’s discharge. It is a concern. Kerry and crew would like to keep US busy looking into AWOL, and drill absences; but, whatever we don’t know about Bush, we know Kerry was talking to the enemy, in Paris. We know where Kerry was and it was not to our benefit. If you can’t help, don’t harm . . . Kerry was harmful. We know where Kerry was . . . because he told us.

Make no mistake, Kerry betrayed US. Kerry betrayed his fellow military, and worst of all, he betrayed the POWs. Kerry undermined our bargaining power which endangered captives and may have caused some to die, needlessly.

There are no excuses for John Kerry. Kerry understood the enemy before he understood America.]

KERRY WARNS

Kerry Warns Middle Class Against Bush


1 hour, 36 minutes ago
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON - Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites) on Sunday of planning a surprise second-term attempt to privatize Social Security (news - web sites), and forecast a "disaster for America's middle class." Republican party chairman Ed Gillespie called the charge "just flat inaccurate."

Kerry is going to help those of us in the Middle Class . . . Watchout!

For the last few days, Kerry had been carping about Bush wanting the draft—while it was the Democrats who promoted it, and likely voted for it; and Kerry wants 47,000 more troops. (It’s obvious who want to push the draft bill-----the Democrats.) The Republicans voted against it. Bush said NO to a draft. The Democrats are dealing out a little fear for what is left of the campaign.

Next step in the Kerry’s fear campaign: secret meeting to get rid of Social Security. Well, if so, say hello to the Gray Panthers, again. That goes for Bush or Kerry. However, it seems more like a Kerry scare tactic. Bush wants to offer something to the younger people who don’t have confidence that Social Security will be there—some of their money for private investments. The post baby boomers want Social Security to be there; but, are afraid it will disappear. If the government paid back all the money it borrowed from the trust fund (with interest) there would be less of a problem. (The interest should be compounded, of course.)

I don’t believe the Republicans can afford to “fool” with privatization. If they attempt to privatize Social Security it’s a guarantee for a Democrat win in 2008. (Might even be a shoe-in for Democrats in 2 years.) It sounds as though the Democrats don’t believe the polls are really neck-n-neck (tied) and they are looking for an edge.

Ah well, only a little over two weeks to go. (Wonder what the Dems will think up next.)

NOT IN BULK

ft.com

More than 30 Canadian internet pharmacies have decided not to accept bulk orders of prescription drugs from US states and municipalities.

(…)Mr Kerry has argued that opening the US to Canadian imports could help lower the costs of prescription drugs for elderly Americans. Such reimportation has become one of the points of difference between him and President George W. Bush during the election campaign.

But growing concern in Canada that growing exports to the US could lead to rising prices and shortages north of the border has prompted the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (Cipa), whose members include several of the biggest internet and mail-order drugstores, to act. “We don't want to give Americans the impression that we have unlimited supply for them to tap into on a commercial basis,” said David Mackay, the association's executive director. Americans, he added, “can't get everything from Canada. We can't be your complete drugstore”.

Not much of a surprise that Canada doesn’t want higher prices and possible shortages. It does make you wonder why the pharmaceutical companies can’t sell the drugs cheaper here in the U.S.

KERRY'S DRAFT

Kerry's crew says: Too few troops; need more troops.

Kerry's Democrats put a DRAFT bill in Congress.

Kerry said: He wants 47,000 more troops.

Kerry says: It's Bush who will cause draft.

Bush says: NO DRAFT!


Now, who do you think is playing the "DRAFT GAME?"

Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Launch New Ads (Thurs)

WASHINGTON – Two groups of Vietnam veterans opposed to Sen. John Kerry once again have joined forces to run television ads against the Democrat presidential candidate.Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and POWs for Truth, which launched their joint ad campaign last month, unveiled two ads Thursday.

In one commercial, the faces of dozens of men are shown as an announcer says: "They're the men who served with John Kerry in Vietnam. They're his entire chain of command, most of the officers in Kerry's unit ... And they're the men who spent years in North Vietnamese prison camps. Tortured for refusing to confess what John Kerry accused them of - of being war criminals."
In his Senate testimony after the war, Kerry cited reports from other soldiers of atrocities.

The other ad asks, "Why is this relevant?" The answer, the ad says: "Because character and honesty matter. Especially in a time of war."
