So the real story, only because over-reacting cops are common though not acceptable, is the stream of questions that the student asked about the election of 2004 that Kerry didn't get a chance to answer, questions which affect the lives of billions of people.
Not that he would said what the real reason was for his rapid concession in November 2004 but which I have posted here before so here goes again:
Senator Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, conceded quickly because he was told that in order to prevent a Vietnam II he had to quickly get out of the way of US forces in Iraq which were massed around Fallujah getting ready to annihilate the rebellious city the very second that the presidential election was over to make sure this military action had no negative bearing on the US election.
I'm 99.9% certain of this only due to the logic and timing of events.
And Senator Kerry cannot say this outloud in public so he will continue to get bashed as a spineless quitter by his own potential supporters.
Two bad events had happened in Fallujah which turned that city into the seat of resistance against the fragile US occupation:
>US troops fired on civilians who were protesting and killed a number of them which led to the next bad event.
>The killing and burning of four Blackwater mercenaries by the angry crowds...
...which is an amazing story in itself because of how these four mercenaries ended up where they did.
The details came from one of the parents of one of the mercenaries, Katy Halveston, as told to Amy Goodman.
A Blackwater 'contractor' named Scott Helveston was so appalled by the behavior of his supervisor, who the others called 'Shrek' so often that he thought it was the guy's real name, that he wrote a whistleblowing note about 'Shrek' back to Blackwater headquarters in the US.
Scott Halveston had previously been a Navy Seal and was Demi Moore's personal trainer for her role in the movie, ' G.I. Jane.' (Refer to my many posts on how Hollywood is the CIA and Pentagon.)
The supervisor referred to as 'Shrek' found out about Scott's report to HQ and for retribution he teamed the whistleblower up with three other contractors he'd never worked with before and sent the four of them without usual armaments or even a map on a trip that landed them dangerously right in the middle of Fallujah. This is why they were killed and burned and hung from a bridge, because of a revenge move on the part of the supervisor sending them on a suicide mission.

The parents of the four Blackwater mercenaries actually sued Blackwater and whistleblowers mother was interviewed by Amy Goodman on Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now program.

A secretary within Blackwater headquarters was prosecuted for some minor infraction that I think was related to providing corroborative information to the parents of the four dead who were suing Blackwater.
But this highly-publicised killing and mutilation of four US mercenaries set off resistance in the whole of Iraq and the US military decided it needed to stomp out every living spark in Fallujah, a city which had already been assaulted in April, 2004 just before Abu Graib broke, to prevent a brushfire across the occupied country and create the situation we can now accurately refer to as Vietnam II, precisely the situation that Senator Kerry was told he needed prevent by stepping aside from his stolen presidency.
Fallujah was massacred by US forces. It was methodically covered-up at the highest levels of government and with the media help of the CIA's Operation Mockingbird.
The massacre was several times larger than the Vietnam War massacre at My Lai in 1968.
First the hospitals were destroyed. All press was driven out. Only a few independent journalists stayed to record the war crimes.
Many hundreds were killed, women, kids, old people, many cut down by snipers and burned by white phosphorus bombs. Many were buried within a day as their religion mandates in a soccer field.
The streets were filled with dog-eaten corpses.
After the siege and massacre te US soldiers had to hunt down and kill the dogs and decontaminate the town of evidence of chemical weapons before refugees could be let back in. General Wesley Clark wrote a cover story that was printed in the Washington Post about how it wasn't sufficient to destroy the city, the will to fight had to be destroyed. In the same essay Clark assured us that nothing improper had been done in Fallujah.
And all of this because of a supervisor's revenge against a Blackwater whistleblower, a personality we are not accustomed to thinking of as even existing.
So imagine the double horror that Vietnam Vet Against the War, Kerry, is living.
He gave up the fight for the stolen presidency to prevent Vietnam II but...instead this guaranteed Vietnam II.
Now he isn't going to tell us this but there it is and how we got in this mess.
Such is the reality of the National inSecurity State that doesn't tell the public that things are even worse than they think.
