Kerry Lost Security Clearance!
Just spoke with reporter friend in DC. She is talking
with former USN ONI types who worked on DOD/USN
investigation that resulted in total loss of
Kerry's Navy security clearance.
Kerry had been granted a Top Secret by the Navy on
October 11, 1967 based on a routine background
investigation by Office of Naval Intelligence. A top
secret clearance was required for his work at that
time.
Obtaining and holding a security clearance of any
level, especially TS or above, requires certain terms,
obligations, commitments and conditions from the
holder. One of the most important is the holder of the
clearance must promptly and fully any contacts with
any foreign officials, agents, etc.
Lieutenant Kerry left active duty with the Navy on
January 3, 1970, but he still carried those
obligations as a commissioned officer of the Naval
Reserve. Without telling anyone and without receiving
permission from
superiors,FBI or counter-intelligence officers, he
traveled to Paris in the summer of 1970. He claimed
the purpose of his trip was a honeymoon with his first
wife, Julia Thorne, but there was another hidden
purpose.
Numerous North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence
agents and officials were in Paris, having arrived a
year earlier for the "Peace Talks." While in Paris,
Kerry met with agents on a number of occasions and had
extensive
discussions with them about U.S. plans, procedures and
how to get the U.S. to essentially surrender in
Vietnam.
These clandestine meetings were never reported to the
Navy.
Almost a year later, in April 1091, speaking as the
leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against The War,
Lieutenant Kerry told a Senate hearing about his
meetings with enemy agents. Senior DOD officials
wanted to prosecute him as a Naval Reserve officer for
violating a number of laws and regulations, but this
was vetoed by the Nixon White House. They didn't want
to give the
anti-war crowd any additional PR ammunition.
However, the Navy immediately pulled Kerry's security
clearance. He became a Naval Reserve officer who was
known not to be trusted. He kept his commission, but
lost all access to any classified information. In the
words
of one of the now-retired agents, "Lieutenant Kerry
wasn't cleared to know what time it was!"
The bottom line is, Kerry was on the Intelligence
Committee of the Senate after the Paris fiasco and
another trip to support the Moscow-backed Sandinistas
in Nicaragua.
Today, he couldn't get a security clearance to pull KP
duty, but he wants to be Commander in Chief of all our
military in the War on Terrorism!
