Come on people, its NEWSMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out their site to see if they are "credible".
I remember their major expose on how Clinton had Vince Foster killed along with a few dozen others (Like Ron Brown, former SecCommerce, shot down over Serbia) to cover up Whitewater.

You know, one of the things the Governator emphasized in the recent recall election was that he would not be tool of the special interests because he was rich. Gray Davis had become a whore for his contributors. It was freaking outrageous.
Kerry has the same reputation even though he is himself rich. I don't understand why he is such a whore.
One of the reasons people actually liked Kennedy was because he was rich and could not be influence by monied interests. Being rich and incorruptible is an important attribute for being president.

There's a difference between what you're trying to emulate from my wisdom and "do as I say, not as I say"
and queer has nothing to do with sexual orientation in this instance. The guy's just out of place in whatever he does

This is faux-journalism; an editorial constructed of innuendo disguised as logic and presented as fact.
quote:
Kerry Took Cash From Chinese Military Intelligence
|
In fact, the cash did not come from Chinese Military Intel. No-one can legally transfer money out of China without the approval of the Chinese Government Security Agency, which you can loosely translate to Military Intel. Even to say the Chinese govt ordered the transfer is stretching the truth. Approved would be a better word. In any case, the money Kerry took was from an American fundraiser.
quote:
Democrats are counting on Sen. John Kerry's military credentials to convince voters that he can be trusted with America's national security.
But documents that surfaced over the weekend raise serious questions about whether Kerry was duped in the 1990s into helping the Chinese military perfect its ability to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons.
|
"Documents surfaced over the weekend" when Newsmax pulled them out of their files... 
quote:
In 1996 Kerry met with Liu Chaoying, the daughter of a powerful Chinese military official who also doubled as vice president of a subsidiary of the state-owned China Aerospace Corp.
Before the meeting, held in Kerry's Senate office, Liu's sponsor, Johnny Chung, made clear she was interested in getting her company listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange. |
"Her company"?
I thought it was a state-owned company? Why or how could a state-owned company be listed on the NYSE?
I believe it is Apstar, a company for which Liu may be a non-executive director and chairman, for which NYSE listing was sought. Its shares are also traded on the HKSE. It is a satelite communications company.
quote:
The Democratic presidential front-runner was only too happy to oblige and ordered his aides to contact the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The next day," reports Newsweek, "Liu and Chung were ushered into a private briefing with a senior SEC official."
|
Look at the diction. "only too happy to oblige"; "ordered his aides"; "ushered into a private briefing". What do they really mean? Kerry helped to set up a meeting. What do they SOUND LIKE? Something dirty.
quote:
Within weeks, Chung returned the favor, staging a Kerry fund raiser at a Beverly Hills hotel that raked in $10,000 for the senator's re-election campaign.
Bank records would later show that Kerry's Chinese campaign cash came from $300,000 in overseas wire transfers sent to Chung on orders from the chief of Chinese military intelligence, Newsweek reports.
|
I'm now confused. In the first paragraph, the funds were raised at a Beverly Hills hotel. But Bank Records show the cash came from a wire tranfer from China. Ordered by Chinese Military Intelligence, who sent $300,000 to Johnny Chung, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!?!? (How can that be, his name is Chung???
What is not mentioned is that when investigations determined that $28,000 of contributions (from Chung) were found to be illegal (foreign), KERRY RETURNED ALL THE MONEY.
quote:
The money was routed through a Hong Kong bank account controlled by Liu, whose company later benefited from waivers granted by the Clinton administration to the U.S. aerospace giant Loral Corp.
|
What does THIS mean??? So the money was sent Liu in Hong Kong? I thought they said Chinese MI gave it to Chung???
Does the money routing have ANYTHING to do with Clinton granting waviers to Loral? What did Kerry have to do with it?
quote:
As Liu and Chung were lining the pockets of the Democratic Party's political elite, Loral handed over top-secret missile guidance technology to Liu's firm.
|
Loral operates a network of communications satellites, as well as building & sellings satellites. They have sold several satellites to Brazil and Mexico. They also sold a satellite to China. The state department blocked the sale on grounds of national security.
Many companies began doing business with China in the 90s. Lockheed got in big trouble for helping the Chinese figure out how to fix a problem with a rocket launching a communications satellite in 1994!
quote:
Liu's China Aerospace used the information to perfect Beijing's fleet of intercontinental ballistic missiles, which before the 1990s could not strike the U.S.
By the end of the decade, however, China's ICBMs could reach the entire continental United States with pinpoint accuracy...
|
Total speculation, at best.
China also now produces most of their own oil, makes computers, steel, ships, etc. I think they should impeach Walmart for sending all that American cash to China...
quote:
...thanks in part to the senator who says now he can be trusted with America's national security.
|
There are two schools of thought. Isolationist, and free trader. If you want a populous country to progress towards freedom and democracy, improving their communications systems is a step in the right direction.
If you are a fear-monger, isolate!
quote:
Chung later testified that before Liu wired him the cash to contribute to prominent Democrats, the chief of Chinese intelligence personally told him: "We like your president. We want to see him re-elected."
|
Oh. I thought they were contributing to his campaign because they didn't like him and wanted him out.
quote:
Apparently, Beijing felt the same way about Sen. John Kerry.
|
If what Kerry helped arrange is such a big problem, why is it still traded on the NYSE?
Just curious. Have US interests ever attempted to help an individual in a foreign country gain or maintain public office?

What's wrong with it? It's ******* bribery, a quid quo pro, do this for me and I'll give you money. Why do you think this company needed Kerry to get on the NYSE? Even if Kerry had no complicity in Loral's dealings with China, he was taking money from the Red Chinese to further the goals of their ICBM program. Did he know? I hope not, but for a guy who was on top of BCCI his niavete is astonishing and he should still be held accountable by the voters even if the "legal" system allows this nonsense. Of course, Bush is in the same system and undoubtedly takes money for favors, but he doesn't deserve our votes either...
And for the "Oh, it's Newsmax" people, they are reporting what others are reporting. In this case, apparently much of this is coming from Newsweek. And I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Gertz has been digging up alot of this...
