I do not think his superiors knew what he was up to, I think he just said hey I'm in charge and we gonna go back and take some pictures, thats what they did. The SwiftVets should be encouraged to pick up on this. Kerry ran this as an action film, it was JUST like him PHONEY, he admited to Charles Sennott much later that it was reenacted with a 8mm. I think that film is HIS BIGGEST mistake yet. It is simply false and he presented it as he has everthing he has done PHONEY, Swiftvets should hone in on this and nail him for it. It follows, his medals were phoney his actions was phoney and the phoney film proves it!!!

I've seen some home movie stuff on TV. Boats in a river, and Kerry
walking around in green utilities with a helmet and carring an M16.
Would Kerry walking around with an M16 necessarily have to be filmed
at an actual location, or would any green background do. Like maybe
on the base?

Every now and then I would buy a camera. Sometimes I would wander
around the ship and take a roll of film. The problem is that one
destroyer looks pretty much like another one. One seascape looks
pretty much like another one. The coast of Viet Nam looked pretty
much like the San Clemente firing range. So why would he have to
go anywhere to stage his films?

How do you spell Achilles heal? I think this PHONEY FILM of him RECREATING his combat actions is the KEY to his VAINGOLRIOUS personality. BEFORE HE LEFT VIETNAM and he knew he was leaving he makes a MOVIE PICTURE of himself. Fact is the public was not told that his film was a recreation of what he was supposed to have done. They see Kerry with a M16 in a "combat situation" HE IS LYING AGAIN, he is telling the public something that IS NOT REAL. IF WE AS A GROUP pick up on that, I think we can do him great damage. He is lying again.

Well here it is boys:


FR Exclusive: Flashback -- Kerry Admits to Boston Globe that he Reenacted Combat Scenes (10/1996)
The Boston Globe Stacks -- 10/6/1996 | 08/19/2004 | Self using excepts from Boston Globe Report by Charles Sennott 10/6/1996


Posted on 08/18/2004 9:15:12 PM PDT by GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY


While running for Senate against Bill Weld in 1996, a lot of the same issues that dog Kerry now were part of the political landscape. To placate some concerns, John Kerry allowed reporter Charles Sennott of the Boston Globe to watch five hours of his homemade video that was taken while he was on the Meekong Delta in Vietnam.

The article, which is entited: "The making of the candidates: JOHN FORBES KERRY" was published on page A31 of the Globe on 10/6/1996.

In it, Kerry admitted that he had used a video camera while in combat and had reenacted many of the events that transpired on the film while a member of PT-93 on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.

Specifically, he told Mr. Sennott that he had captured film reenacting the area where he had won his Silver Star: "I'll show you where they shot from. See? That's the hole covered up with reeds."

He further added: "This is just something that I improvised. . . . The point was not to just take an ambush, but to go directly at them," as he pointed to the Globe reporter where "he brought the boat ashore," and explained how he "returned later with a Super 8 millimeter hand-held movie camera to record highlights of the mission."

"That's me right there. One of my crew was filming all this," Kerry gleefully told the paper.

The Globe reporter asked thr $64,000 question we all were wondering: How exactly did Kerry manage to steer his boat and shoot his video at the same time?

In response, Kerry told the Globe: "I'd steer, or direct, or fire my gun, and hold onto it when I could. Sometimes the other guys would pick it up."

Kerry also demonstrated to the reporter how he "gripped an imaginary ship's helm and thrusting his camera hand out to the side."

Kerry also goes on in the article to "clarify" how he threw other soldier's medals over the wall during the April 1971 protest in Washington and how he has recurring nightmares about his Vietnam experience.

HIs only nightmare is the one where he gets caught in own web of lies. So shooting a guy in the back gives you nightmares John? If you cant get over killing wounded you dont have the guts to be POTUS. Are you sure your fit for duty John? Semper Fi.

Rebel, you really did a great job searching out the 1996 article. This is the kind of information we need the national media to pickup.

What a fraud. I'm sure the Navy can't do anything about his misuse of men and equipment now, but it sure would make a good story. It certainly says a lot about the character of Mr. JFK.

Quick question. Who verified that the guy he shot in the back was VC. Did he have papers? Pack-marks on his shoulders from humping gear. A tatoo that said born "born in the north to die in the south"? If there was 50 cal aboard why would one man jump ashore instead of preping the hell out of the place. A 50 cal would be like giant weed eater. Who had the helm if Kerry was ashore? If Kerry had been walking into a trap by chasing this guy would the swift boat stay and help. Would you endanger the boat to save a crewmember? At what point does saving the boat trump saving an individual crew. I was a grunt so really dont know how swifties operate. Semper Fi. Sorry about the QUICK QUESTION comment.

This Came from the Boston Globe. Seem Mr. JFK is still attracted to the movie camera and has even developed a reputation as a camera hound. I can only image how much we would be subjected to his long face on TV if he were president.


AT THE CENTER OF POWER, SEEKING THE SUMMIT

WASHINGTON - By the time John F. Kerry began his second term as US senator in 1991, his nickname among Massachusetts political insiders was "Live Shot," a reference to his relentless courting of reporters, especially those with TV cameras in tow. In the Senate, where seniority and decorum still mattered, Kerry was seen as an impatient new breed, more interested in generating headlines than mastering the sometimes tedious process of lawmaking

D I would like to point out that I saw the film first wrote the letter second and then did the research. Boom, I found the Sennott write up. What a great thing Google!

I knew a couple guys who had 8 mm cameras and they took some great footage of actual combat assaults, but it was always at altitude at the beginning of the assault. When we got close to the ground and the pucker factor went UP, the cameras were put away and it was all business. I never saw any one stage footage like Kerry did.
