I am willing to bet that the double meaning holds:

The Paine reference for glossy first layer few will penetrate and the reference to subverted and turned former U.S. soldiers for the real meaning hidden away for in inner cadre. This interpretation lines up with the occult/Freemason practices of true meaning hidden behind the public one.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Obama is, frankly, too stupid to learn from Kerensky’s precedent.&lt;/i&gt;

agreed. so many of them, who think they studied history, tended to ignore what happened to those that played their roll.  that the other side does NOT see them as heroes of their side, but traitors. that one would do so for them is nice and they are very happy to have it, but that does not mean they are greatful and that the person or persons have earned a plae to stand there, that never happens as such traitors are, what is the word... Suki   

ah well...  history repeats and as aslan said, its different every time]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Artfldgr: I seemed to recall it was a play on Paine&#039;s words, and I just looked it up. &lt;a href=&quot;https://facultystaff.richmond.edu/~ebolt/history398/JohnKerryTestimony.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This is what Kerry said&lt;/a&gt; in a statement in 1971:

&lt;blockquote&gt;We call this investigation the &quot;Winter  Soldier  Investigation.&quot; The term &quot;Winter Soldier&quot; is a play on words of Thomas Paine in 1776 when he spoke of the Sunshine Patriot and summertime soldiers who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough.

We who have come here to Washington have come here because we f eel we have to be winter soldiers now. We could come back to this country; we could be quiet; we could hold our silence; we could not tell what went on in Vietnam, but we feel because of what threatens this country, the fact that the crimes threaten it, not reds, and not redcoats but the crimes which we are committing that threaten it, that we have to speak out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So it may be a coincidence.  Or it&#039;s possible it had a double meaning for the cognoscenti.  I think, however, it really came from the Paine quote, as Kerry said.

Of course, it that&#039;s the truth, it may have been one of the few times he told the truth :-).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[njartist49, 
  VERY interesting and i am going to have to dig... 

however they picked winter soldier as opposite summer soldier... and give me liberty or give me death pain, talked about summer soldiers... 

&lt;i&gt;THESE are the times that try men&#039;s souls. &lt;b&gt;The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.&lt;/b&gt; Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but &quot;to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER&quot; and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.&lt;/i&gt;

Thomas Paine...  
http://www.ushistory.org/PAINE/crisis/c-01.htm

Its the opening paragraph to THE CRISIS. 

almost all my references lead to very interesting things...  but one has to taste the cake to know. 

thank you so much for tasting the cake.. 
[and in that process i have something interesting myself to chase down for more info... :) ]]]></description>
