Navy Inspector General Report on Medals​


In September 2004, Vice Admiral Ronald A. Route, the Navy inspector general, completed a review of Kerry's combat medals, initiated at the request of Judicial Watch. In a memo to the Secretary of the Navy Gordon R. England, Route stated [15]

"Our examination found that existing documentation regarding the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals indicates the awards approval process was properly followed. In particular, the senior officers who awarded the medals were properly delegated authority to do so. In addition, we found that they correctly followed the procedures in place at the time for approving these awards. "Conducting any additional review regarding events that took place over 30 years ago would not be productive. The passage of time would make reconstruction of the facts and circumstances unreliable, and would not allow the information gathered to be considered in the context of the time in which the events took place. "Our review also considered the fact that Senator Kerry's post-active duty activities were public and that military and civilian officials were aware of his actions at the time. For these reasons, I have determined that Senator Kerry's awards were properly approved and will take no further action in this matter."

Affidavits as 'evidence'​


According to John Gonzalez, the newly formed group hired former-FBI-agent-turned-private-investigator Tom Rupprath, "to locate swift boat vets and to dig up whatever he could regarding Kerry's service record." [25]

John O'Neill told the New York Times that the private investigator was hired as a "neutral way of actually questioning people involved in these incidents." [26]

Central to the SBVT media campaign has been a reliance on sworn affidavits to be provided as 'evidence' to journalists. However, Patrick Runyon, who provided a statement about the mission for which Kerry was awarded his first Purple Heart, found the interest in his views to be more partisan than neutral. When his statement was returned for his signature, he told the New York Times, references to being fired on had been removed. "It made it sound like I didn't believe we got any returned fire ... He made it sound like it was a normal operation. It was the scariest night of my life," he said. [27]

Commander George Elliott--who praised Kerry's conduct during the Vietnam War--provided an affidavit criticizing Kerry for being awarded a Silver Star.
However, what appeared at first as a coup for them appeared to backfire when, on August 5, 2004, a Boston Globe article reported that Elliott had recanted his criticism of Kerry. The article quoted Elliott as saying, "It was a terrible mistake probably for me to sign the affidavit with those words. I'm the one in trouble here." The affidavit states that the incident for which Kerry received the medal was actually shooting "a wounded, fleeing Viet Cong in the back." Elliott said he felt "time pressure" to sign the affidavit "That's no excuse," Elliott said, "I knew it was wrong. ... In a hurry I signed it and faxed it back. That was a mistake." [28]

In the same article Elliott maintained that, "based on the affidavits of the veterans on other boats," Kerry's being awarded the Bronze Star and third Purple Heart might be questionable. He said: "I simply have no reason for these guys [signing the other affidavits] to be lying, and if they are lying in concert, it is one hell of a conspiracy. So, on the basis of all of the information that has come out, I have chosen to believe the other men. I absolutely do not know first hand."

On August 6, 2004, Elliott claimed he had been misquoted in the Boston Globe article, and reaffirmed his original statement with another affidavit. However, since issuing the second affidavit Elliot has refused to speak to reporters. [29]

In an affidavit released in July 2004, Larry Thurlow claimed that Kerry's statements that the five boats on that patrol came under small arms fire on March 13, 1969 was "totally fabricated." [30][31]

The Washington Post reported August 19, 2004, that the military records of Larry Thurlow, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, contain several references to "enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire" directed at "all units" of the five-boat flotilla. Both Kerry and Thurlow were awarded Bronze Stars for their actions on that day. According to the Washington Post, Thurlow's citation praises him for providing assistance to a damaged swift boat "despite enemy bullets flying about him."

But James Rassmann, who Kerry pulled back into the boat after he was knocked overboard following an explosion, "said he has never had any question that Kerry deserved the Purple Heart." [32] In response to the controversy fueled by the SBVT campaign, the Kerry campaign released an advertisement featuring Rassmann, who described himself as a Republican.

The success of the SBVT campaign in gaining profile also prompted reluctant participants in the debate to come forward. William B. Rood was an officer serving in another swift boat on the day Kerry's actions led to him being awarded his Silver Star. Rood, now the editor of the Chicago Tribune, wrote a 1600-word account of the events that day.

"The critics have taken pains to say they're not trying to cast doubts on the merit of what others did, but their version of events has splashed doubt on all of us. It's gotten harder and harder for those of us who were there to listen to accounts we know to be untrue, especially when they come from people who were not there," Rood wrote. [33]

Ok conservatives, riddle me this....

During the Trump administration, you helped transfer cash from the 99% to the 1%, raising the federal debt by $7.8 Trillion dollars. Three times, the debt limit was raised with clean bills. No fuss, no requirement from the Democrats to eliminate AR-15s or up welfare or bring back "clean coal" which in fact is regular coal but with scrubbers on the plants burning it.

So now, the next debt limit needs to be raised. And so you're crying that with your lower corporate taxes and lower taxes on the 1% that spending is too high. Ok, so what happens if you reduce defense spending? You really want spending reduction? Drop the biggest budget number. Don't want to do that? Well then, go after the paper clip budget for the department of Housing and Urban Development. I mean, they spent nearly $75 on paper clips last year. Let's spend 3 months getting rid of that pork. Whata bunch of stupidity. I hope Biden tells McCarthy to stuff a cucumber up his ass and starts PAC ads to point out that the Republicans are the ones who will make the Dow drop 5,000 points and the Treasury to refuse to cash savings bonds.

I've explained what this raise of the debt ceiling is to others. It goes like this. You go into a sit down restaurant. You order your steak with onion rings and a soda. Everyone eats and it's great. Now the bill comes and you say "Hey man, I don't have this in my pocket in cash so let's drop the steak from $29 to say $18.50. And the onion rings could be a buck fifty cheaper. We're not allowed to use a credit card, so you need to drop the price. How's the restaurant going to react to that? That's what the GOP is doing.

Who the hell are you even referring to?

You must think we all drink Kool Aid for breakfast while you feast on your propaganda nipple.

Tell us what you want us to think, specifically.

Don't just assume that we do.

Thanks.

So apparently Comer is not concerned with this witness just disappearing. That sure tells me that person doesn't exist. Like at all. Because if there was a witness to Biden's corruption, I'm pretty sure there'd be a nationwide manhunt by the FBI to find him. But "He'll turn up"? Yeah, this person is one hundred percent fabricated.

So you're saying that Durham came up with absolutely nothing in his final report today AND the people that were going to bring down the whole Biden crime family have gone missing?

Didn't they refuse to identify the informants on the record?

They probably should have done that when they had the chance. Now, no one will ever know who it was that went missing.

Yeah, that tracks.

And apparently yesterday Margie was out there saying that in fact they weren't missing the day after saying they were?

Maybe they got enrolled into the Imaginary Witness Program.

So the conclusion that they will eventually reach is that Biden had this person killed, not that this person never existed in the first place.
