Robert Welch Explains Purpose of Vietnam War

In 1965, the Vietnam War was being expanded in many of the same ways our wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan War are being expanded today. At the time, the founder of The John Birch Society, Robert Welch tried to educate the American people on the real reason we were at war in Vietnam and why it should be resisted. His insights remain applicable today.

Not to mention the corporations and banks make money off of war.

@shemp2 So, could you then explain to me why the U.S. government led it's people into war in 'Nam, under false pretenses then? I mean, Macnamara now acknowledges that the govt lied about the Gulf of Tonkin incident. For those who don't understand the significance of the GOT, it was the incident that led to the govt putting combat troops into Vietnam. - IT NEVER HAPPENED! So why did the government LIE to go to war.

If this is so non sensical, please, enlighten me as to why they did go to war.

Good Mr. President Obama committed a misdemeanor against the USA people, by signing the NDAA in the dark of the night, December 31st, 2011; therefore, he should be impeached. Will you stand up for truth, good people?

Wow amazing, they are suceeding in their plans to destroy America, Come on folks who is with me to stay the tide of tyranny upon the people of this country, I am not going down without a fight.

@r2mferro yes and it's suppose to be up to congress to decide on war. Now they don't call it a war if theyjust drop a few bombs. Clinton twice decided to drop bombs on cuntries to take the heat off his ass. That should have been treason and murder. He just said bomb Serbie and Somalia. Congress should have had him detained and then relieved of his duties. The founding fathers thought they had given us the perfect government. I beg to differ. A perfect government is no federal government.

@amerikaiscommunist just to let you know, they didnt even need to vote for a war.

The decision to occupy both Afghanistan and Iraq was not put through Congress.

the rest of what you say I will not even make an effort to comment on.

Just read shit harder.

You got about 30 congressmen that work against this country and about 10 senators. They are like Israeli agents destroying your country. But the other politicians are too afraid to say anything. So they are just as bad. When these bastards vote for war they should have to pay. But the only people who kill politicians are the Jews. They have killed five presidents and many other politicians.

[amerikaiscommunist]

Since wee know what this shit is about. When a politician votes for war when he does this he should jump everytime he hears a firecracker go off. A politician is supposed to do what the people want. When do they do that? The local prosecutor will demand things get done and a judge will act like they are tough, but when one of their Mason boys get into trouble a judge will allow them to go free and sure he'lls lose his job, but one of his fat cat friends will find him a cushy job.

@amerikaiscommunist No mate, they went to war to make $ for the already rich maggotts and their corporations. Just like they're continuing to do today. As Carlin said "i live by a set of rules, number 1 is, i don't believe anything the govt says, zero" Thats a good starting point

[SouthernCross33]

It's sad America didn't have this smart and upfront honest man (the only type of fella you want to run your country) as president. He's got great president written all over him. I'm amazed that there was ppl warning of this threat to the US, that i can't believe they've gotten away with it, well up till now, they're being exposed on a massive scale. As he says in another clip here "a numerical small power lusting clique, who have somehow inflicted themselves on a gullible world" How true is that

[amerikaiscommunist]

@withwingsaseagleeyes soldiers are never smart. They are poor and dumb. They don't know why the war is being fought and it's why they go. I have more respect for someone who goes to Canada. Now if this country was being attacked and they ran different story. But sodlirs are basically invading a weaker country.
