The number of fellow Senators who think John McCain is
psychologically unstable is large. Some
will admit it publicly, like Thad Cochran who says, "The thought of his being
president sends a cold chill down my spine."
Others relate times when McCain screamed four-letter
obscenities right in their faces in the Senate cloak room, like Dick Shelby,
Rick Santorum, or Jim Inhofe. "The man
is unhinged," one Senator told me. "He
is frighteningly unfit to be Commander-in-Chief."
That John McCain is clinically nuts is scary enough. What worries a small group of GOP Senators
and Congressmen even more is a deep and dark skeletal secret in McCain's
glorified past to which they are privy, and which the Clintons will use to
blackmail him.
They have been having discussions with a Russian whom we'll
call "T" for Translator. T's father was
the Soviet military intelligence officer who ran the "Hanoi Hilton" prison
holding captured Americans during the Vietnam War. One of those prisoners was John McCain.
The GRU -- Glavnoje Razvedyvatel'noje Upravlenije or
Main Intelligence Directorate of the Soviet (now Russian) Armed Forces -
operated the entire North Vietnamese prison system holding American prisoners
of war. GRU officers, all of whom were
Russians, oversaw the interrogation of every American POW.
The interrogations themselves were conducted by Vietnamese
who spoke some English. After each
interrogation session, which could often include torturing the prisoners at the
direction of the GRU officers, the Vietnamese interrogator would write a report
of the session - in Vietnamese.
These reports had to be translated into Russian. T, a bright teenager living in the GRU
compound in Hanoi, had become fluent in Vietnamese, and ended up translating
many of the reports and interrogators' notes.
John McCain, flying his A-4 Skyhawk, was shot down over
Hanoi on October 26, 1967. Badly
injured from the ejection, he was beaten and abused by his captors. In July, 1968, his father, US Navy Admiral
J. S. McCain, was made CINCPAC, Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Command, commander
of all US military forces in the Vietnam theatre. Upon learning this, the Vietnamese offered - according to McCain
- to release him.
McCain claims he refused, because he demanded all American
POWs captured before him be released as well.
He thus remained a prisoner when he could have gone home, and was
subjected to constant brutal beatings and torture for years: that is the source of the "war-hero" saga
making McCain a greater war-hero than any other American POW.
Yet the offer of release would had to have been approved by
the GRU overseers of the North Vietnamese - and T does not recall any such
offer being made. T admits, however,
that this took place before McCain was transferred to Hoa Loa prison, nicknamed
the "Hanoi Hilton" by the POWs. T had
only direct knowledge of what happened at Hoa Loa, and not the other prisons,
where T's father was in charge.
McCain was kept at the Hanoi Hilton from December 1969 until
his release, along with all the remaining POWs, in March of 1973. During this time, T translated all the
Vietnamese interrogators' notes and reports regarding John McCain.
According to T, they reveal that McCain had made an
"accommodation" with his captors, and in exchange, T's father saw that he was
provided with an apartment in Hanoi and the services of two prostitutes. Upon returning to his prison cell, he would
say he had been held in solitary confinement.
That may be why so many of his fellow prisoners said later they saw so
little of him at Hoa Loa.
The notes and reports written in Vietnamese were sent to
Moscow, where T was a now a college student, for T's translation into Russian,
then placed into GRU archives. That's
where they stayed until 1991. Late that
year, as the Soviet Union was collapsing, the CIA and the GRU made a deal for a
document swap.
All of what it involved, T doesn't know. What T's father, by now retired but still
with substantial contacts within the GRU, did learn (and thus T learned) was
that the swap included all of T's translations.
In other words, the CIA has in its possession the notes and
reports of John McCain's interrogators at the Hanoi Hilton, in both the
original Vietnamese and translated Russian, showing collaboration with his
Communist captors.
Allegations of this nature have been made over the years,
many by Vietnam veterans. There is an
even an organization, Vietnam
Veterans Against McCain. But they
are based on suspicions and circumstantial claims. There has never been any hard direct evidence.
What T says the CIA has is such evidence. Its release would destroy McCain. The threat of its release could force McCain
to take a fall, blow the election and lose on purpose. And just who do you suppose would know what
the CIA has and work with them to release it?
Someone who has been a CIA asset since he was recruited by
London station chief Cord Meyer while a student at Oxford in 1968?
(Back in the 90s years after he retired, if Cord drank a little too much Scotch, he
would laugh derisively at those conspiratorialists who accused Bill Clinton of
being connected with the KGB.
"They all darkly point to Bill's participation in anti-war peace conferences in
Stockholm and Oslo, and his trip to Leningrad, Moscow, and Prague while he was
at Oxford. ‘Who could have paid for this?', they ask. ‘It had to be the KGB!'
they claim." Cord would shake his head. "What rot - we paid for it. We recruited
Bill the first week he was at Oxford. Bill's been an asset of The Three Bad
Words ever since." Cord passed on in
2001.)
The small group of Senators and Congressmen who have been
briefed by T have been unable to confirm with the CIA any details of its
document swap with the GRU beyond an admission that such a swap "may have
happened." They are very nervous about
pursuing the matter any further.
The Clintons are not nervous. They are utterly ruthless, and have buddies at Langley all too
happy to help them.
It has been noted many times here in To The Point
that while most folks think the CIA is a right-wing outfit, it is not. The CIA
has been dominated by left-wing hyper-liberals for years.
The CIA is a left-wing, liberal outfit, and its main job for
some time now is not attacking America's enemies but conservatives in general
and George W. Bush in particular. The
story is best told by friend, Ken Timmerman in his new book Shadow
Warriors.
When the time is right, the Clintons will see to the leaking
of the GRU archives on McCain to the media.
Bet on it, just as you can bet they'll follow it up with media
disclosures of the lady lobbyists in Washington having adulterous affairs with
McCain. (There are at least three of
them; I know the name of one but I'm not going to put it in writing.)
Maybe McCain will try to fight back by confirming Hillary's
well-known bisexuality and her lesbian affair with her beautiful assistant,
Huma Abedin. Google "Hillary" and "Huma
Abedin" and you'll get almost 6,000 hits.
Turns out Huma is a Moslem who grew up in Saudi Arabia and is strongly
suspected of working for Saudi intelligence.
Or maybe he'll capitulate to Clinton blackmail. You never can tell what a psychologically
unstable guy will do.
And that last point is why - be prepared for this, folks - I
would not in any circumstances vote for John McCain, not if either Hillary or
Obama were the alternative. Evil is
safer than crazy. Leftie amateur
inexperience is safer than crazy. So I
agree with Ann Coulter who says:
"I'd rather deal with President Hillary than with President
McCain. With Hillary, we'll get the same ruinous liberal policies with none of
the responsibility."
How in the world can the Republican Party get saddled with a
nutcase whack-job who knows nothing about economics, is so anti-capitalist he
uses "profit" as a term of derision, has never run a business or had any job
outside of government, will raise taxes, is so stupid that he believes
"stopping global warming" is worth destroying the American economy, won't drill
ANWR, won't appoint strict constructionist justices, won't protect marriage, will
give amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens, is beloved by the New York Times,
and lives in a delusionary world of vanity and rage?
Rush is right. A
McCain presidency will be the destruction of the Republican Party. It needs to be rebuilt, not wiped out with
the field clear for the fascists of the left to consolidate power and eliminate
freedom.
And maybe the only way to rebuild it is in dedicated
impassioned opposition to a Clinton White House. That should be the
subject of Ann Coulter's next book. I've already got the title for
her. Her last book was If Democrats Had Any
Brains, They'd Be Republicans.
Ann needs to now write this book: If Republicans Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans.
[A Yogi Berra note.
There still is a chance for Romney, the last remaining hope. If he can win enough delegates on Super
Tuesday next week, combined with Huckabee winning Georgia and other southern
states, it may still be possible for McCain to end up with only a plurality of
delegates, not a majority, at the end of primary season. An open convention is still possible, during
which Republicans could come to their senses.
It's not over until it's over.]
