  • @exenrontexas The CIA has no right, and is in fact engaging in a capital Crime Against Humanity when they set up the conditions for an extermination operation. My point was that Diem was no more elected, than Nguyễn Văn Thiệu was. Both were puppets, selected and put into power to generate the outcome on Vietnam demanded by the mass murdering Debt Syndicate.

  • @centurion180ad So please explain how the CIA had the right to interfere in the democratic processes of South Vietnam and had the right to blow Diems head off in the back of a jeep in Saigon? Marine General Smedley Butler wrote a book about such US involvements in foreign countries, it is "War is a Racket". WHY does the US have the right to mess up other people and their countries?

  • @janhelfeld General Zinni asks the question, when he already knows the answer. Where are the specialists that know how to stabilize regions? Those whores are sitting in a bankers office of the mass murdering Debt Syndicate, plotting how to slaughter millions of people, enslave & poison the survivors, and how to extract trillions of dollars worth of stolen property out of the occupied region.

  • PNAC operators the subordinate prostitutes for the mass murdering Debt Syndicate knew everything that the good General is saying in this video, in advance of the 2 invasions. This is self-evident by the Administrations actions in revealed in BATTLE READY. The mass murdering Debt Syndicate /intentionally/ destabilizes regions, and places indigenous populations into premeditated slaughters.

  • @exenrontexas OSS through Edward Geary Lansdale, selected and put Diem into power as the RSVN head of state, to begin with. Diem was selected by Lansdale for his innate elitist bigotry, his hatred of Buddhists & Peasants. MACV senior advisor John Paul Vann, saw these 2 hatreds directly.

  • Search on youtube for the deposition of Madeleine Brown who was LBJs mistress and had a kid by him. She claims that LBJ knew of the assassination plot the day before JFK was murdered in Dallas. JFK also ordered the disbanding of the CIA and the Federal Reserve both of whom are sources of great evil in the world. The CIA murdered Ngo Diem, the only freely elected president of S. Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an effort to reinstall the highly corrupt regime of Fulgencia Batista.

  • The reason that LBJ lied to America to offically start the war in Vietnam was because his predecessor, JFK, even though he was rabidly anti-communist, had already ordered Robert McNamara to REMOVE OUR TROOPS from Vietnam. LBJs number one supporter was Brown and Root which is called today as Halliburton. They and LBJ were warmongers, eager to start wars for profit. LBJ had a life long tradition of stealing from government for personal profit.

  • There is an interesting segment in The Fog of War (documentary) about the Maddox and the Turner Joy. I am a college student and can see how ridiculously short-sighted American foreign policy is. People a hell of a great deal smarter than me (like Zinni) are interesting to listen to. The military can't take everything over though. You're not going to get my anthro professor into camo and out into Afghanistan. She would need to be in a civilian role.

  • Why did we Invade Iraq? Should the US government engage in nation building? Is it a proper function of the government?

  • I served TAD on the USS Turner Joy after this event. The Turner Joy was in the Tonkin Gulf with the USS Maddox and was ALLEGEDLY fired upon by the North Vietnamese Navy which LBJ used to get the Tonkin Gulf resolution thru Congress to officially start the War in Vietnam. NO ONE I met believed the attack was real & Robert McNamara, the LBJ Sec. of Defense & the Navy now admit the attack NEVER HAPPENED. You will NEVER have change in Washington until war profiteering criminals are PROSECUTED.
