It is amazing that a combat veteran who has claimed to be a
conservative Senator is now leading the fight to reward with
amnesty, the millions of Mexican and Central American criminals who
have invaded our nation. While the betrayal of the American people
on behalf of foreign invaders by Sen. John McCain may be puzzling to
most, the former POW has a history betraying his fellow citizens in
favor of a foreign enemy. In light of the looming vote to turn this
country into a Third World nation, the question of McCain’s true
motives should be examined.
On October 26, 1967, U.S. Navy Lt. John McCain was shot down over
North Vietnam by a Soviet-made surface-to-air missile. As a result
of ejecting from his plane, McCain suffered two broken arms and a
broken leg. He was immediately captured by an angry mob and turned
over to NVA soldiers, who broke his shoulder with a rifle butt and
stabbed his foot with a bayonet. He was then taken to the infamous
‘Hanoi Hilton.’
Once in a cell, he was beaten and interrogated daily. Still being
refused medical treatment and in severe pain, McCain agreed to talk
in exchange for medical treatment. He was then taken to a nearby
hospital. McCain described the events in his 1999 book Faith of My
Fathers, in which he said: “Demands for military information were
accompanied by threats to terminate any medical treatment if I did
not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron
number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant.”
The North Vietnamese Army discovered that Lt. McCain was the son of
Adm. John McCain Jr., commander of the Pacific Fleet, and his
grandfather was Adm. John McCain Sr. who commanded aircraft carriers
under Adm. Bill Halsey in the Pacific during World War II. Because
of his family’s powerful military heritage, the NVA believed that
Lt. McCain would one day hold a prominent position in the U.S.
government. He then became the target of incredible torture and
attempts at re-education, some sessions were reportedly conducted by
Soviet officers.
McCain has said that he was regularly visited by senior communist
Vietnamese officials. One visitor was famous NVA Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap.
Eventually, McCain signed a letter claiming to be a war criminal and
apologizing for the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He also did many
radio and television interviews, some with foreign correspondents
which is a severe violation of the military code of conduct.
Despite John McCain’s years of painful torture at the hands of the
NVA, he has been Hanoi’s strongest advocate in the U.S. Senate. For
years, he pushed for the normalization of relations with communist
Vietnam, even though that country has never fully cooperated on the
issue of American POW’s.
In 1992, John McCain was serving on the Senate Select Committee on
POW/MIA Affairs. Vietnamese officials began to complain that
American POW/MIA activists (mostly family members of the missing
men) were causing too many problems and posed a threat to lifting
the U.S. trade embargo on Vietnam. Incredibly, Senator and former
POW McCain then went on a campaign against the POW/MIA activists and
accused them of fraud. McCain once said of the families: “The people
who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are
criminals and some of the most craven, most cynical, and most
despicable human beings to ever run a scam.”
Sen. McCain demanded and received a U.S. Justice Department
investigation of the two major POW/MIA activist groups. Of course,
no fraud as McCain alleged was ever found. The families were left
angry and mystified as to why McCain had betrayed them. McCain
succeeded and the trade embargo against communist Vietnam was
lifted, and there has never been a full accounting of North
Vietnamese atrocities against American POW’s.
In 1992, NVA Col. Bui Tin, who interrogated McCain in the Hanoi
Hilton, testified before the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA
Affairs. He told the Senators (including McCain) that Soviet
officers regularly interrogated and tortured American POW’s. During
a break in the proceedings, Sen. McCain and Col. Tin enjoyed a hug
and exchanged the kind of longing looks that a man would usually
share with his long-lost father, or perhaps in McCain’s case...His
comrade?
Just as John McCain has collaborated with the Vietnamese enemy, he
has been collaborating with the leaders of the Mexican Reconquista
movement for some time. Among other outrages, he was the keynote
speaker at the 2004 annual conference of the National Council of La
Raza. He told the racist crowd: “It is in our national interest to
bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows
and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great
nation.”
After the massive illegal alien protests last year, McCain made the
following statement: “If such demonstrations continue, I think we
will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate,
the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”
Under Sen. McCain’s immigration bill, even members of Mexican drug
gangs would receive amnesty by simply signing a statement in which
they renounce their gang affiliation; the so-called ‘background
checks’ that illegal aliens would receive are only of the 24-hour
variety, which reveal very little (if anything) and would then be
given a six-month worker card; Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agents would travel around the country handing-out amnesty
applications to suspected illegal aliens (Not kidding!), and all
immigration enforcement would end.
McCain’s plan would spell the end of the United States. So why would
the son and grandson of fiercely proud American warriors, and he
himself a combat veteran who suffered tremendous torture a the hands
of the criminal North Vietnamese so readily come to the aid of that
enemy and attack the families of the men with whom he served? Why
would this same man so incredibly betray his own countrymen in favor
of Mexican criminals?
The answers to the aforementioned questions lie deep with Sen.
McCain’s psyche, which should now be subject to examination. I am
not suggesting that McCain set out to betray his country when he
began his career at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1954, nor as he flew
23 missions over North Vietnam. However, it would appear that under
extreme torture and indoctrination at the hands of his communist
captors, he may have been turned...Turned against his own country
and sent back to dismantle that country. It is a possibility that
now needs to be investigated.
When someone with the background of Sen. John McCain is ready to
sell-out his fellow POW’s and turn the United States into a Third
World nation...No other explanation could truly suffice.
[Note: Even though Mr. Gibson is generally correct in his assertions
and conclusions above, there is one important additional fact which
should be considered -- John McCain's two Senior Ranking Officers (SROs)
during a period of his captivity in North Vietnam have publicly
stated that they do not believe he was tortured. Many of John
McCain's fellow POWs believe that he gave "aid and comfort" to the
enemy to gain advantages and benefits for himself which other POWs
did not receive. If they are correct -- and who would be in a better
position to know? -- he provided classified military information and
propaganda material not under severe duress as most people seem to
believe, but because of an underlying weakness of character. The
myth created by the media, and reinforced by McCain's silence, that
his physical impairments are somehow related to torture are
inaccurate, he sustained them at the time of his crash.]
