“He told the story of how he broke the story about the My Lai Massacre (which actually may have been an overblown moral panic hoax that made the career of Collin Powell)”
I’m sure it was to some extent, basically every media event related to Vietnam was a hoax. Just go down the list, the media literally hoaxed the Tet offensive into a VC/NVA win when it was an absolute slaughter. Or the famous self imolating monk and VC street execution photo.
I remember a documentary in which Westmoreland explained how the USA actually won the war and that the Viet Cong was nearly annihilated. He also had plan to phase conscripts out. South Vietnam was lost because of propaganda and internal sabotage.
It's been a while since I watched or read anything about the Vietnam War, but even the mainstream view was that the the Tet Offensive was a disaster for the VC BUT it enabled the North to form a "new" VC, pretty much all Northern almost always NVA guys, and the Southern VC leaders, communists or not (especially the non-communist) became non entities, did they just abandon the fight, were they relegated to less essential duties, or were they just shot, I don't know.
It frankly doesn't really matter nowadays to be frank, but it does for those guys and their families, I always respect fighters whatever the side they are fighting for, we live in clown world were patriotic men fight against each other for the gain of (((globalists))) men, most of the time they would have more in common with each other than the people pulling the string, not always, but most of the time.
Since I was a kid I always thought that the solution to war and all other shit happening in the world would be that each country on Earth should be governed by Nationalists, and from that you could have a real United Nation where every country look for their interest but also can manage their differences, I know it's pure fantasy, but maybe it isn't, "racists" of every race often agree on most topics and most would cooperate to live "separate but equal" so to speak. Maybe I'm still a bit naive, even if they didn't want to cooperate, well then you use your armament if they still want to come in your country. It's far too late for any of that to happen unfortunately.
That's my ideology anyway, my people first, other Europeans afterward, the rest of the world I'd wish them good luck and to have good but long distance relations, I don't hate them as long as they don't come to live in my turf.
I agree with you on respecting nationalism but recognizing you have to maintain a majority control in your own country. I do think you have to have 2 or 3 (probably 3) superpowers to balance things out. If all you have are separate nations, the biggest nation can overrun the smaller ones. If you have several superpowers, the smaller nations can balance between them and maintain most (though not all) of their autonomy. Finland and Sweden went psychotic and instead of promoting their own national interests, began allowing in incompatible migrants and aligning totally with NATO against Russia.
"I agree with you on respecting nationalism but recognizing you have to maintain a majority control in your own country"
Oh I don't want a majority, I want all (non-Europeans) gone forever, peacefully preferably but if they don't want to leave, well, you know...
The rest of my philosophy is just my kid/teen views, I know it will never happen, but if you have Superpowers they will just vassalise the other states anyway and form blocs, with three Superpower you would have a weird Cold War and if two of them decide to gang up on the lone one imagine the carnage, in my ideal utopic kiddy world it wouldn't happen because all the smaller states would ally themselves to prevent an Hegemon, or several, there never was an Earth Hegemon before recently, even the British Empire wasn't a total Hegemon, the US has been an almost complete Hegemon since the fall of the USSR and their small hats are literally destroying that, just like they did for the British Empire, the "elites" migrate to a country, build it, make it strong, and then suck the life out of it and move to another, they've been doing that since at least the Roman Empire, probably before that too.
I always thought they would switch to China but with China's absolutely dismal fertility rate it won't last very long. I know my post was stupid mate, I'm just drunk, and when I'm drunk I like to share what I think the World should be, it's just "leave me alone bro" on a global stage, I'd just want to be left alone and wish the same for everyone else, I just try to cope I guess...
My opinion is that the human species (not race, we have several races, probably more than even the guys who understood races in the 19th century think there were, they simplified all that crap too much) is going to go extinct fairly soon, only a few Chosen will remain so all of that is just moot anyway.
there are stories from ancient greece about armies sallying forth from their cities and meeting in the field only to throw a party with the other army and then turn and march on their own cities to overthrow the leadership.
those were pre-ideological and pre-morality times.
people could think in those sorts of refreshing ways.
If it was a deal what a boon it was for the North. Their southern competition (quite literally) all dead on the streets but South Vietnam and US lose in the papers. Our elites are pulling the same shit today.
According to Matt Ehret and Cynthia Chung, his wife, the Vietnam war was completely engineered by the US deep state. They ginned a bunch of horror stories in North Vietnam to scare the Catholics into panicky evacuation, carried them on US ships to South Vietnam where they dropped them off without resources or help and then treated them as Viet Cong.
There was no “engineered” scare that caused “Catholics” to run South and be falsely labelled VC. I get you have an axe to grind against the US Gov but don’t start conspiracy waving away communist terror campaigns. If anything these details were omitted and covered up just a few years later.
I can’t be bothered to cite for a such a basic fact. Basically read any revisionist Vietnam War history book. There’s your source.
I also can’t read your article because it’s paywalled. I’ll just add that it’s no secret that the communist were every bit as bad as whatever US propaganda claimed. Hate on the US gov sure, they were acting for their own ulterior motives sure, but whitewashing away the brutality of the communists is a tiresome narrative that’s been pushed since the 60s.
I know that the Catholics from North Vietnam were forced to the south. But I do not know the details. I believe the details hardly matter because they ended up in a second war anyway then under Communist rule. Plus they would have lost everything in the north anyway because Communists confiscated the entire wealth or almost.
Look at the present government of Vietnam. Not exactly a constitutional republic, but they're not a Stalinist state by any means. And they do have individually-owned businesses. The Vietnamese saw the war principally as against colonialism. And indeed, why was the US spending resources to maintain Vietnam under first French, and then American control? The first thing North Vietnam did after winning the Vietnam War was to have a war with Cambodia, and then with China. The whole point of nationalism is to leave other nations alone unless they are a direct threat to you.
Possibly. It was a detailed documentary that focused on the military operations and related politics in south vietVietnam . I do not remember the title.
All episodes are up on Youtube, I haven't watched that documentary series since 15 or something years but I remember it was quite good, there are leaders from both North and South being interviewed too, I do remember the guys from the South feeling like they had been completly betrayed by the US.
The Battlefield: Vietnam documentary series is still up too, it's pretty good and try to stay relatively neutral and objective IIRC, it must have been made by the guy who produced the Battlefield documentary series on WW2 which I liked a lot, yes it's official history but they try to stay fairly neutral in this one too, but you can still see their (Western) Allies bias obviously :
What do you mean about the monk ? From what I remember the famous VC being shot in the head was because he was a rapist, I might be wrong though. I've heard military guys saying the Tet offensive was actually a huge US/ARVN victory (which definitely seems to be the case whatever you think about that war) and they could have "won" the war, not sure what victory would have really meant though, definitely seemed like that war was designed to be "lost" on purpose so to speak.
In regards to the monk, it’s common knowledge that the whole thing was a planned stunt (reminiscent of the Rosa Parks story). The whole Buddhist crisis was completely overblown and used as a casus belli to overthrow Diem. You can look into the conspiracies ranging from how Thich Quang Duc was drugged and coerced to how the Buddhist organizers were known communist third-columnists.
With the Saigon Execution photo I’ve never heard the rapist story. Basically the VC being executed was a known plain clothes insurgent leader who executed multiple civilians and policemen and was caught in an active warzone.
Just compare all these stories to how they were twisted stateside, just absolute slop meant to panic and rile the masses.
I probably misremembered and confused murderer with rapist, Diem is made to look like an absolute tyrant in most documentaries I've seen on that war, I don't know how true it is, I don't pretend to understand the internal politics of South (or North) Vietnam, maybe he wasn't as bad as what was said of him, maybe he truly was, I'm not sure we'll ever really know.
You're right, he's been dead for "only" 62 years so a lot of people living under his rule are still alive to this day, even people who would have been adults at the time.
While the Te Offensive didn't achieve a decisive strategic military victory for Ho Chi Minh, it most certainly resulted in a smashing propaganda victory, eroding still further the already flagging support for the war in the U$@ and ended LBJ's political career.
No; it was a propaganda victory whose searing images of wanton death & destruction--compounded by the battles at Hue & Khe Sahn--underscored the utter pointlessness of this war.
Kay Griggs says the point of the war was arms sales. so the MIC did ok. The Russian Lada factory backed by Western investors supplied North Vietnam with trucks, so Russia and the US were in collusion then..
Putin Is A United States Asset – Owned By President Trump Stereo
Putin like Trump is a gofer. The people who installed them would have insurance policies to ensure they don't go rogue, like filmed participation in some nasty ritualistic proceedings.
The Occult has to be considered as it is hiding in plain sight. I am reading MK – Ritual Abuse and Mind Control – Tools of Domination of the “Nameless Religion” by Alexandre LeBreton (887 pages). Not for the faint of heart. A basic principle is light and darkness, presumed to be in balance as the fundamental nature of the Universe. Sounds reasonable, but the Luciferians figure committing dark acts will stimulate the Universe to produce countering light so they are really the good guys. Doesn't really sound all that convincing does it? I wouldn't be counting on it myself!
Anyway Brendon adds to the mix and some of his points are already well known to us. I'm afraid I suspect
Mees Baaijen may be right in the baton being passed to China by the controllers of Glafia. If a partisan group seizes control of the US it will be interesting.
Those Central Asian seemed to understand how to live alongside their brotherly Russian neighbors just as peacefully as our "brothers" from North and black Africa here in France.
"I actually met Hersh when I was in high school and he encouraged me to get into journalism. Lol. No, really. That did happen. He told the story of how he broke the story about the My Lai Massacre (which actually may have been an overblown moral panic hoax that made the career of Collin Powell)"
Rurik being a spook confirmed, by his own words too ! Seriously though the Colin Powell connection sounds interesting.
Powell's Wikipedia page makes it sounds like he thought nothing really unusual happened at My Lai, only to contradict himself more than 30 years later.
There is no actual signed peace deal as far as I know. Neither side wants a cease fire and I don't see it happening . Meanwhile the Baltic states are digging in and the EU is about to go on a massive arms building exercise . Poland is excavating nuclear shelters and asking to be a nuclear weapons power , France has issued how to survive a nuclear blast pamphlets and is spreading it's nukes across Europe . Japan now has the third or forth largest military budget in the world , Germany has awakened and going on the biggest money printing exercise in that countries history , firing up the old the Nazi military industrial complex , the US DOD budget went up another nine billion . Putin is definitely getting the job done and making Russia safe from military conflict . The SMO is still going well , Nazis are being eliminated, no infrastructure or civilians have been bombed , It is obviousl that all military equipment in Ukraine has been eliminated , the Himars were taken out as soon as they crossed the border , another three weeks should end it! The Ukranians are after all our brothers ...... Trump is for sure going to stop the war in twenty four hours, what a deal maker! Please address all portraits and invitations from kings and queens to : Trump Global Enterprises @ Gaza Seaside Resorts.
It looks like there will be many a Big Kaboom coming, I can't wait! Stocking as much popcorn as the larder will hold.
" The heroism of our soldiers is unconditional. However, as in the situation with the Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk region, questions arise - and not to those who found themselves on the front lines.
One of the main questions is why, against the backdrop of the Ukrainian onslaught on the Krasnoyarsk region, which has been going on for several days now, the situation was reduced to the fact that the enemy was confronted by only 10 people (25 people after the reinforcements arrived)? - Lack of intelligence? An old problem with coordination between individual units? "

The US has a trail of broken treaties. Any politician ignoring that (and as a result, harming the population (s)he is supposed to represent) could be called traitor. Religious zealots should be prevented to get involved in politics; any AI can do better.
More than a third (36%) of Europeans want the EU to focus on defence and security to strengthen the bloc's position in the world, ahead of the 32% who cite competitiveness and the economy.
Regrettably; this rekindled jingoism & revived militarism is having its desired effect on a population whose collective memory regarding the horrors of WWII is rapidly receding with the deaths of those who were actual eyewitnesses.
I don't have an issue with us Europeans having armies that aren't barely armed jokes, but certainly not for us to be sent to die in a war against Russia, or China or whatever other power, we're disappearing due to low fertility and replacement migration fast enough as it is thank you.
