The Kerry French/Vietnam connection

Walter Healey

What do French companies BNP Paribas, and Total Fina have in common? They are
companies that have been tied to Iraq oil for food scandal. Total Fina had negotiated a deal
for future oil exploration in Iraq.

What else do these companies have in common? They were both companies in the Kerry stock
portfolio. They Kerry’s were dumping these stocks in 2002, but I think it is only fair that the
Kerry’s open up their stock portfolio to public scrutiny. Not that we don’t believe them but just
to make sure that they really sold this stock and they are not involved in this scandalous oil for
food get rich scheme. I’m guessing that John Kerry will open up his and his wife’s stock
portfolio right after he signs form 180 to release his Military records. Or maybe he will wait
until he figures out if he’s for the war in Iraq or against the war in Iraq. Maybe he’s just mad
he’s losing money because of the war in Iraq.

John Kerry has a lot to say about Halliburton, but why doesn’t he ever mention Colliers
International. Just like Halliburton was given a contract to rebuild Iraq. Colliers International
has been given the contract to rebuild the Vietnamese infrastructure. So what? You say! It
just so happens that the CEO of Colliers is also the cousin of John Kerry. John Kerry worked
awfully hard to normal up relations with the Vietnamese government and the United States,
even to the disgruntlement of the POW families, who believe some of their loved ones are
still being held by the Communist North Vietnamese.

Did he say the Vietnamese were not holding POW’s because he actually believes that? Does he
still consider these service people to be criminals and Ghengis Kahn like and that’s why he said
there were no POW’s or was he just being a nice guy and helping out his cousin?

These are questions which must be asked, and I do not hear anyone in the so called mainstream
media asking them. Could the mainstream media really be biased? Or are they just all running
around looking in every nook and cranny for forged documents to use against the
President?

Looking under rocks and getting late night faxes from Kinkos is tiring work and maybe that’s
why they don’t have time to ask John Kerry some of these questions. But you would think they
would have time to do a 10 minute Google search to find out this same information as I did.

All this information at your finger tips (literally) must be driving the mainstream media crazy,
their losing the monopoly on what you read and hear. The information age will be the downfall
of the mainstream media’s choke hold on our collective psyche.
