com The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly s teering John Kerry's antiwar group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a US archive, according to a researcher who spoke w ith WorldNetDaily.
freshly unearthed document, captured by the US from Vietnamese communists in 1971 and later translated, indicates the Viet Cong and Nor th Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used a s the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other an tiwar activists who attended. Kerry insists he attended the talks only because he happened to be in Fra nce on his honeymoon and maintains he met with both sides. But previousl y revealed records indicate the future senator made two, and possibly th ree, trips to Paris to meet with Viet Cong leader Madame Nguyen Thi Binh then promote her plan's demand for US surrender. Jerome Corsi, a specialist on the Vietnam era, told WND the new discoveri es are the "most remarkable documents I've seen in the entire history of the antiwar movement." "We're not going to say he's an agent for Vietnamese communists, but it's the next thing to it," he said. "Whether he was consciously carrying ou t their direction or naively doing what they wanted, it amounted to the same thing he advanced their cause."
Corsi says the documents show how the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong, th e People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Communist Party of the U SA and Kerry's VVAW worked closely together to achieve the Vietnamese co mmunists' primary objective the defeat of the US in Vietnam. "I think what we've discovered is a smoking gun," Corsi said. "We knew wh en we wrote 'Unfit for Command' that Kerry had met with Madame Binh and then promoted her peace plan. "This document enables us to connect the dots," he emphasized. "We now ha ve evidence Madame Binh was directing the antiwar movement ... and the p erson who implemented her strategy was John Kerry." July 22, 1971, Kerry called on President Nixon to accept the plan at a pr ess conference in which he surrounded himself with the families of POWs, a strategy outlined in the first document. The two documents also connect the dots between the Vietnamese communists and the radical US group People's Coalition for Peace and Justice thr ough the person of Al Hubbard, a coordinating member of PCPJ and the exe cutive director of VVAW while Kerry was its national spokesman. "Al Hubbard and John Kerry were carrying out the predetermined agenda of the enemy in a coordinated fashion," Corsi said. "It's a level of collab oration that exceeded anything we had imagined."
second document, captured by US military forces in South Vietna m May 12, 1972, urges Vietnamese officials to promote the antiwar activi ties in the United States. Significantly, the fifth paragraph makes it clear the Vietnamese communis ts were using, for propaganda purposes, a protest described as taking pl ace April 19-22, 1971.
The document's description of the protest includes the "return the medals " event in which Kerry and other VVAW members threw their war decoration s toward the steps of the Capitol. Corsi told WND the documents have been authenticated with "100 percent ce rtainty." But why were they unearthed now, just one week before the Nov. "It's truly one of those accidents of how things develop in research," he said. "We did not spring any surprise, we just found these documents, a nd even the archivist didn't know they were there." Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth dispatched two researchers to Texas Te ch University's Vietnam-era archive in Lubbock, which has more than 2 mi llion documents, to "see if there was anything there," Corsi said. Many of the documents are in Vietnamese and have not been translated yet. The two documents were found in boxes containing papers from antiwar acti vities during 1971-72, but they also turned out to be posted in an Inter net database, which enabled further verification, Corsi said. First document The first document is a "circular" outlining the Vietnamese regime's stra tegies to coordinate its propaganda effort with its orchestration of US . The spontaneous antiwar movements in the US have received assistance and guidance from the friendly ((VC/NVN)) delegations at the Paris Peace T alks. The phrases in double parentheses were added by US translators for clar ification. "VC" refers to the Viet Cong, while "NVN" is the North Vietna mese government. Corsi and Swett point out that FBI files show Kerry returned to Paris to meet with the North Vietnamese delegation in August 1971 and planned a t hird trip in November. Corsi emphasizes that before the discovery of this document, he and other researchers had no direct evidence that Hanoi actually was directing th e antiwar movement to implement the regime's goals, although they assume d it to be the case based on other indications. In her meeting with Kerry in Paris, Madame Binh instructed him on how he and the VVAW could "serve as Hanoi's surrogates in the United States," C orsi and Swett say. This included advancement of her seven-point peace p lan forcing President Nixon to set a date to end the war and withdraw tr oops. Hanoi cleverly constructed the plan so that the only barrier to release o f American POWs was Nixon's unwillingness to set a withdrawal date. But as Corsi and Swett emphasize, the plan amounted to a virtual surrende r that included payment of reparations and an admission the US was the aggressor in an immoral war against the communists. The circular underscores the impact of the peace plan on US activists, stating: "The seven-point peace proposal ((of the SVN Provisional Revolutionary G overnment)) not only solved problems concerning the release of US priso ners but also motivated the people of all walks of life and even relati ves of US pilots detained in NVN to participate in the antiwar movement .
people's ((political struggle)) movement and the antiwar movements in the US. " Therefore, the circular says, "all local areas, units, and branches must widely disseminate the seven-point peace proposal, step up the people's ((political struggle)) movements both in cities and rural areas, taking advantage of disturbances and dissensions in the enemy's forthcoming (RV N) Congressional and Presidential elections. They must coordinate more s uccessfully with the antiwar movements in the US so as to isolate the Ni xon-Thieu clique."
second document reveals the d egree to which Hanoi worked with and through the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice. Of the US antiwar movements, the two most important ones are: The PCPJ ((the People's Committee for Peace and Justice)) and the NPAC ((Nation al Peace Action Committee)). These two movements have gathered much str ength and staged many demonstrations. Corsi and Swett note the House Internal Securities Committee in its 1971 Annual Report described the PCPJ as an organization strongly controlled by US communists. "There is no question but what members of the Communist Party have provi ded a very strong degree of influence, even a guiding influence, in the evolution and formation of policies of the People's Coalition for Peac e and Justice." Corsi cites recently released FBI surveillance reports that establish a s trong link between Kerry, Hubbard, the VVAW, the PCPJ and their trips to Paris to meet with Madame Binh. Kerry shared the stage with Hubbard who recruited Kerry into the group during the Dewey Canyon III protest, and they appeared together on NBC 's Meet the Press April 18, 1971. Hubbard's claimed to have been a trans port pilot wounded in combat, but the Department of Defense released doc uments showing he was neither a pilot nor an officer and had never serve d in Vietnam.
At that meeting, the VVAW considered and then rejected a plan to assassin ate several pro-war US Senators. The FBI document shows communist coordination in Hubbard's trip to Paris.
advised that Hubbard gave the following information regardin g his Paris trip: Two foreign groups, which are Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) and P eoples Republic Government (PRG) (phonetic), invited representatives of the VVAW,...
