John Kerry took on the BFEE, virtually singlehandedly. Why do you think his sniffing around the Iran-contra drug dealing got Ollie North’s panties twisted so far up his superpatriotically pimpled backsides? Ollie sicced the FBI’s crack counter-terrorism squad on Kerry. Don’t believe me, here’s some background from 1999:

THE NORTH NOTEBOOKS

EXCERPT…

The information was so revealing that it would have precipitated a full-fledged political crisis were it not for collaboration in the coverup by the bi-partisan congressional leadership, the courts, and the Big Business news media. Indeed, the refusal of Congress and the media to root out the source of the Iran-contra conspiracy and bring the criminals to justice is now becoming, in itself, an overriding issue. Investigative writers such as Seymour Hersh of the New York Times and Scott Armstrong of the National Security Archive are beginning to sharply assail Congress and the media for cowardice and collaboration in the conspiracy. More and more, Iran-contra is exposed as a crisis of the two-party system with the Democrats unable or unwilling to challenge the secret junta in the White House basement.

SNIP…

In Washington, at the request of Irangate special prosecutor
Lawrence Walsh, a new grand jury has been empanelled to consider evidence that Bush and President Reagan were very much "in the loop" on the criminal enterprise. Also in Washington, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), chair of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Terrorism and Narcotics, announced May 18 that he is examining thousands of newly
released photocopied pages from Lt. Col. Oliver North's notebooks, which expose White House lying on the Noriega case. The National Security Archive and Ralph Nader's Public Citizen released thousands of the same pages at two press conferences on May 8 and May 18.

Senator Kerry declared, "The North notebooks confirm that
high-level U.S. officials, including officials at the CIA and the NSC
, knew about General Noriega's drug
trafficking and corruption in 1986, kept him on the U.S. payroll and discussed helping him clean up his image in return for his help for the contras."

"The information was important because throughout 1988, while my hearings were taking place, the White House was denying that it had known about Noriega's drug trafficking." Kerry added, "There is something fundamental that is violated in a democracy when the White House can classify documents as 'Codeword Top Secret' in order to suppress politically damaging information in an election year." Kerry suggested that Walsh examine sworn testimony of former Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams and Donald Gregg to determine if they committed perjury. Kerry said the documents also raise questions of
whether NSC and intelligence officers engaged in domestic surveillance in violation of the law.

AS PROMISED, HERE’S WHERE OLLIE THE TRAITOR SHINES:

From “Conspiracies, Cover-Ups and Crimes”:

According to the FBI reports, North asked the FBI to investigate Kerry, to find links between the Massachusetts senator and the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. The investigation was reportedly initiated by a crack FBI counterintelligence group usually employed to track foreign agents in the United States.

SOURCE: Jonathan Vankin. Conspiracies, Cover-Ups and Crimes: Political Manipulation and Mind Control in America, Paragon House, New York, pp. 163–164 (1991):

Now, for someone to bring out the heavy artillery, there must have been several highly placed people FROM BOTH PARTIES who were — and I will vote still are — mighty scared of what Sen. Kerry might have to say as president. This person’s Dim Son may also want to hide when Kerry starts looking into 9-11 and the events leading up to the worst day in our nation’s history. — Octafish

Kerry in 1992 presided over a Senate probe
of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
The inquiry had led him to call 84-year-old Clark Clifford to testify,
angering fellow Democrats.
