John McCain, who rose to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.


Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain's role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain's military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn't talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them. . .

THIS IS LONG AND THIS IS GOOD:

Filmmaker Jack Marino: "I made FORGOTTEN HEROES to honor all the Vietnam Vets who I felt were totally mistreated by the anti-war protesters that spit on them and called them baby-kllers."


Filmmaker Jack Marino:
Here is the 2:25 Trailer of FORGOTTEN HEROES cut by a guy who used to cut all the trailers for Disney in the early 90s. The video isn't color corrected since he cut this trailer from the original 3/4 masters videos.
FORGOTTEN HEROES Part 1- '92 Trailer - A Film by Jack Marino
I made this film to honor all the Vietnam Vets who I felt were totally mistreated by the anti-war protestors that spit on them and called them baby-kllers. The Hollywood leftist that run Hollywood continued to spit on these vets in countless films by protraying them as anything but Heroic. As the director I tried to show the honor and comaraderier that men in combat experience under fire. After close to 300 screenings in Hollywood by every studio and independent distributor, because I showed my guys are heroes and didn't follow the political line, my film was never picked up. Even though they all called it 'powerful and profound'.

How John Kerry won "The Purple Heart Lottery"

by eyewitness Thomas Clough
Author’s Note: I based my account of John Kerry’s exploits on credible eyewitness testimony. There are conflicting accounts. Nonetheless, even if my account is not exactly as God witnessed these events, my point is still on target: the minor injuries that John Kerry incurred would still have qualified the medal-hungry John Kerry for easy-to-get Purple Hearts and an express flight out of Vietnam.

Will the Swift Boat Veterans come back to fight John Kerry one more time?

Aside from his failure to perform his duty honestly while in the military and thereafter, if Kerry gets confirmed as SecState we can 100% guarantee that the following will happen:
  • UN gun ban treaty signed
  • LOST (Law of the Sea Treaty) signed
  • UN internet control treaty signed
  • UN ability to tax US businesses & citizens signed
  • UN treaty allowing anti-discrimination against Muslim/Shiria signed
  • Iran will get nuclear bomb
  • Israel will be fully betrayed
We can't let this happen!

11/15/12: When Hannity asked O’Neill if the Swift Boat Vets would resurface if Kerry was nominated, O’Neill responded, “We will do the very best we can, Sean.”

The coming Civil War

The article below from The Washington Times, a verifiable source...

But, first, a note [from a Viet Nam veteran friend]:

There is precedent for active Army soldiers becoming involved in civil unrest situations.

Personal anecdote:  Baltimore riots, 06-14 April 1968

I was a member of B Company, 1st Battalion 58th Infantry, 197th Infantry Brigade, stationed at Ft. Benning, GA.  We were all (100%) Viet Nam combat infantry Veterans, used primarily as the aggressor force in training both the about-to-graduate OCS cadets from Ft. Benning and at West Point.

[We always won those contests, believe me!]

Our entire Battalion was activated, and the majority of us sent to Baltimore to quell that riot.  (We were also deployed to the riots at the 1968 Dem Convention in Chicago).

We arrived in Baltimore & deployed fully armed - weapons loaded, etc.

We mostly conducted squad-sized patrols.  Ran into, and actually had some fire fights with local Nat'l Guard soldiers who were looting.  There were KIAs involved - Guard soldiers, not ours. 

A few civilian casualties as well.

At the end, we conducted large-scale sweeps of neighborhoods.

For example, one evening our soldiers were deployed in single files, two (2) files deep, one behind the other, down a 6 block line in front of apartment houses.  Immediately behind our second file was a single file of police officers.  It looked like this:

6 blocks of apartments         aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Soldiers                              sssssssssssssss
Soldiers                              sssssssssssssss
Police                                 ppppppppppppppp

On order, we moved out.  Soldiers in line #1 entered each apartment and went to the top floor.  Soldiers in line #2 waited in the lobby area of each apartment.  Police waited at curbside in front.

Soldiers in line #1 then began, starting at the top floor, to enter each/every aparatment and remove the occupants, men/women/children & pets, and  bring them down to the lobby where the #2 line of soldiers received them.

The #2 line of soldiers then escorted the occupants out front, where they were seated on the curb by the police, who then went through the individual ID process, etc.

Even Walter Cronkite!!!

From JammieWearingFool:
Legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite allegedly collaborated with anti-Vietnam War activists in the 1960s, going so far as to offer advice on how to raise the public profile of protests and even pledging CBS News resources to help pull off events, according to FBI documents obtained by Yahoo! News.

President Obama is usurping the rights of God, "as did Hitler and Stalin and the emperors of Rome."

Former POW and hero speaking at luncheon - Jeremiah Denton endured more than 7 years as prisoner in Vietnam.
The enemy responded with unspeakably horrific treatment, yet throughout his seven-and-a-half-year imprisonment – four in solitary confinement – Denton refused to betray his country or stray from his faith.

Re-visiting The Tea Party Movement

HAT TIP: InstaPundit

...as large as the on going Tea Party protests have been and remain, rest assured they are indicative of a much broader trend. Moving through political seasons and on to 2010 and 2012, the Tea Party movement represents We The People's best chance of taking back control of the nation's political direction and processes we have. Americans haven't seen anything quite like it since the Vietnam War.

Check out the dog on the rug when the camera pulls back!

HOW THE CLINTONS WILL DESTROY JOHN MCCAIN

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
Thursday, 31 January 2008

The number of fellow Senators who think John McCain is psychologically unstable is large. Some will admit it publicly, like Thad Cochran who says, "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine."

Others relate times when McCain screamed four-letter obscenities right in their faces in the Senate cloak room, like Dick Shelby, Rick Santorum, or Jim Inhofe. "The man is unhinged," one Senator told me. "He is frighteningly unfit to be Commander-in-Chief."

That John McCain is clinically nuts is scary enough. What worries a small group of GOP Senators and Congressmen even more is a deep and dark skeletal secret in McCain's glorified past to which they are privy, and which the Clintons will use to blackmail him.

They have been having discussions with a Russian whom we'll call "T" for Translator. T's father was the Soviet military intelligence officer who ran the "Hanoi Hilton" prison holding captured Americans during the Vietnam War. One of those prisoners was John McCain.

Let the ethnic cleansing begin!

This is the ghost haunting the anti-war left, and the left shudders and screams whenever it floats into the room. All those millions of Cambodians didn't have to die, and all those Boat People didn't have to sail into death or exile. The Kennedys didn't have to topple Diem any more than Senators Levin and Clinton have to work to force the toppling the Maliki. And the Democratic Congress elected in 1974 didn't have to abandon South Vietnam to North Vietnam.

America's Vietnam policy of intervention, manipulation, and then withdrawal represented a series of choices. The Democrats of those years, urged on by a hard left anti-war front, finally made a choice to leave, a choice with awful consequences.

This is the crucial point: The Democratic Party and their supporters made that choice, cheered on by the anti-war left. They own the consequences.

Now we are watching a replay of that debate of 30 years ago, but this time no one is even bothering to deny that American withdrawal at this point would lead to a bloodbath. It is a strange time, because the "screw 'em" school of cut-and-run advocates includes many folks arguing for doing something for Darfur just as we did in Kosovo. It is as though the prospective slaughter of Arabs just doesn't rank with them.

Was John McCain Brainwashed By His North Vietnamese Captors To Destroy This Nation?

By Dave Gibson on May 22, 07


It is amazing that a combat veteran who has claimed to be a conservative Senator is now leading the fight to reward with amnesty, the millions of Mexican and Central American criminals who have invaded our nation. While the betrayal of the American people on behalf of foreign invaders by Sen. John McCain may be puzzling to most, the former POW has a history betraying his fellow citizens in favor of a foreign enemy. In light of the looming vote to turn this country into a Third World nation, the question of McCain’s true motives should be examined.


On October 26, 1967, U.S. Navy Lt. John McCain was shot down over North Vietnam by a Soviet-made surface-to-air missile. As a result of ejecting from his plane, McCain suffered two broken arms and a broken leg. He was immediately captured by an angry mob and turned over to NVA soldiers, who broke his shoulder with a rifle butt and stabbed his foot with a bayonet. He was then taken to the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton.’


Once in a cell, he was beaten and interrogated daily. Still being refused medical treatment and in severe pain, McCain agreed to talk in exchange for medical treatment. He was then taken to a nearby hospital. McCain described the events in his 1999 book Faith of My Fathers, in which he said: “Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate any medical treatment if I did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant.”


The North Vietnamese Army discovered that Lt. McCain was the son of Adm. John McCain Jr., commander of the Pacific Fleet, and his grandfather was Adm. John McCain Sr. who commanded aircraft carriers under Adm. Bill Halsey in the Pacific during World War II. Because of his family’s powerful military heritage, the NVA believed that Lt. McCain would one day hold a prominent position in the U.S. government. He then became the target of incredible torture and attempts at re-education, some sessions were reportedly conducted by Soviet officers.


McCain has said that he was regularly visited by senior communist Vietnamese officials. One visitor was famous NVA Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap.


Eventually, McCain signed a letter claiming to be a war criminal and apologizing for the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He also did many radio and television interviews, some with foreign correspondents which is a severe violation of the military code of conduct.


Despite John McCain’s years of painful torture at the hands of the NVA, he has been Hanoi’s strongest advocate in the U.S. Senate. For years, he pushed for the normalization of relations with communist Vietnam, even though that country has never fully cooperated on the issue of American POW’s.


In 1992, John McCain was serving on the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. Vietnamese officials began to complain that American POW/MIA activists (mostly family members of the missing men) were causing too many problems and posed a threat to lifting the U.S. trade embargo on Vietnam. Incredibly, Senator and former POW McCain then went on a campaign against the POW/MIA activists and accused them of fraud. McCain once said of the families: “The people who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are criminals and some of the most craven, most cynical, and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam.”


Sen. McCain demanded and received a U.S. Justice Department investigation of the two major POW/MIA activist groups. Of course, no fraud as McCain alleged was ever found. The families were left angry and mystified as to why McCain had betrayed them. McCain succeeded and the trade embargo against communist Vietnam was lifted, and there has never been a full accounting of North Vietnamese atrocities against American POW’s.


In 1992, NVA Col. Bui Tin, who interrogated McCain in the Hanoi Hilton, testified before the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. He told the Senators (including McCain) that Soviet officers regularly interrogated and tortured American POW’s. During a break in the proceedings, Sen. McCain and Col. Tin enjoyed a hug and exchanged the kind of longing looks that a man would usually share with his long-lost father, or perhaps in McCain’s case...His comrade?


Just as John McCain has collaborated with the Vietnamese enemy, he has been collaborating with the leaders of the Mexican Reconquista movement for some time. Among other outrages, he was the keynote speaker at the 2004 annual conference of the National Council of La Raza. He told the racist crowd: “It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation.”


After the massive illegal alien protests last year, McCain made the following statement: “If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”


Under Sen. McCain’s immigration bill, even members of Mexican drug gangs would receive amnesty by simply signing a statement in which they renounce their gang affiliation; the so-called ‘background checks’ that illegal aliens would receive are only of the 24-hour variety, which reveal very little (if anything) and would then be given a six-month worker card; Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would travel around the country handing-out amnesty applications to suspected illegal aliens (Not kidding!), and all immigration enforcement would end.


McCain’s plan would spell the end of the United States. So why would the son and grandson of fiercely proud American warriors, and he himself a combat veteran who suffered tremendous torture a the hands of the criminal North Vietnamese so readily come to the aid of that enemy and attack the families of the men with whom he served? Why would this same man so incredibly betray his own countrymen in favor of Mexican criminals?


The answers to the aforementioned questions lie deep with Sen. McCain’s psyche, which should now be subject to examination. I am not suggesting that McCain set out to betray his country when he began his career at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1954, nor as he flew 23 missions over North Vietnam. However, it would appear that under extreme torture and indoctrination at the hands of his communist captors, he may have been turned...Turned against his own country and sent back to dismantle that country. It is a possibility that now needs to be investigated.


When someone with the background of Sen. John McCain is ready to sell-out his fellow POW’s and turn the United States into a Third World nation...No other explanation could truly suffice.
