STORIES OF COLLABORATION AS A POW
A RECORD OF SUPPORTING COMMUNIST VIETNAM AND WORKING AGAINST MIA/POW RECOVERY EFFORTS
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER
We have all read the stories about McCains temper and his attacks on the families of other POWs. We have all read about his votes against Veterans. We all know of his trips to Vietnam, his meetings with the Communists, the hugging, his apologies, his confessions. We all know he has supported Communist Vietnam as their chief lobbyist and friend in the US for decades. Investors Business Daily states about McCain: "To establish normal trade relations with the Vietnamese, McCain put aside the past and forgave those who tortured him as a prisoner of war. He then faced down the wrath of his own party in the era of Rambo, when many believed Vietnam was still holding POWs." Were his motives free trade or something much darker?
Many of us have read the stories in the US Veterans Dispatch, the Conservative journal that supported Swift Boat attack on Kerry. These sources claim McCain may actually be a Communist spy. Claims from other POWs and reports by McCain himself along with information out of Russia may indicate he was interviewed by the KGB and possibly subjected to "brainwashing" techniques.
The possible result: McCain may still be a "sleeper agent" of Russia, which could give them control of the President of the United States.
Is this possible? Maybe. McCain was certainly interviewed alot by communists from Cuba, Spain and France and was filmed by them as a POW. McCain also spent time in a Russian military hospital in Vietnam, something we know of no other POW doing. Rumors that McCain actually went to Russia while a POW are not proven, however. All we have is years of erratic behavior, years of voting to support Communist Vietnam and many reports, some verified, some not, claiming McCain was a collaborator and may actually be a Russian spy.
Many of these stories surfaced during the 2000 primary when George W. Bush was running against McCain and Karl Rove, Bush campaign operative, went to South Carolina to start an attack campaign against McCain. That tactics used to destroy McCain are now being unsuccessfully applied to Barak Obama by McCain is an oddity inconsistent with McCains life and personal experiences.
The stories of brainwashing, collaboration, confessions, special treatment and McCain being the vicim of blackmail by the Communists are just that, stories, like so many others. There is no evidence that the Communists have movies of McCain in a Hanoi hotel with "female companionship" as the rumors claim.
Would the Russians have tried to brainwash the son of the top American admiral? Would McCain have cracked under pressure and become their pawn? We know the KGB inteviewed pilots. We believe some were executed after these interviews. The Russians now admit that some may have been taken to Vietnam.
Official searches for these POWs taken to Russia have been requested and the Russian government admits the possibility and has yet, however, been unsuccessful in the recovery of these missing Americans. Does this mean McCain could have been sent back as a spy?
Is his history of suppressing information about other POWs and stifling MIA investigations part of his work as a Communist agent?
Is his history of opening trade with Vietnam without the required full POW/MIA accounting proof also?
If John McCain is elected, we may find out. That few are asking this question means that Americans have little fear, after the Bush debacle, of having a Communist spy in the Whitehouse.
Is it that American conservatives would prefer a Russian agent to Bush?
