| Kerry Campaign: no comment on private trade trip to Beijing |
| 2004-08-07 |
| EFL from WND - this trip was ill-advised for a presidential hopeful with a questionable record for opposing communism. The Kerry campaign currently is struggling with recent photographs of the candidate -- one dressed in a "bunny" suit at NASA and another on the bow of a ferry imitating a famous scene from the movie Titanic -- but a new photograph has emerged showing the Massachusetts senator in Beijing working with a company associated with the Chinese military. The Kerry campaign and the Kerry Senate office both are refusing to comment on the Democratic presidential candidate's privately sponsored trade trip to China. Repeated phone calls both to Kerry's campaign headquarters and his Senate office were not returned. During the late 1990s, John Kerry traveled on a "U.S. trade mission to the People's Republic of China organized and sponsored by a private corporation." The Kerry trip to Beijing was topped off with a "banquet in Beijing's legendary Great Hall of the People." To prove the trip was a success, the Massachusetts-based firm of Boston Capital & Technology photographed Kerry in the Beijing Great Hall of the People. The image and trip information appear at , Boston Capital's website The photo shows Kerry, an unnamed Chinese government official and Paul Marcus, the head of Boston Capital & Technology. Marcus also refused to provide details of the China trip, including the time and date, whether the senator took money for his services, or the identity of the Chinese officials with whom Kerry met. "I am not doing an interview with you, and please don't call me again," Marcus declared. -snip- plenty more details |

| #3 3dc - this former investment of Kerry's may be tied to Marcus & that company, who knows? BTW, in classic Kerry fashion, that tax shelter was called... a straddle! |

| #2 The Boston-based consultant also has time for the arts. He and his wife are listed as founders of the nonprofit American Friends of the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands, a lovely place notorious for hiding and laundering money. |
