The Summer of 2012 Part 3

The Vietnam War (Almost 60 Years Later)

The Vietnam War cuts through much of the consciousness of American society. It was a long war that began since the end of World War II. About 58,167 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War. These people didn't have to die. About 365,000 Americans were wounded in this unjust war and there are about 2,000 MIAs (or Missing in Action human beings). Over two million Vietnamese human beings died as a product of the Vietnam War. The Chinese Kingdom once ruled Vietnam in the ancient times. We know that the French imperialists controlled Vietnam from the late 1800's to the end of WWII. The Vietnamese wanted to be free from French domination. The Vietnamese were right in that oppression against a people is never justified nor moral at any circumstance. During WWII, the Japanese empire temporarily controlled the area of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh defeated the Japanese forces and took Hanoi by August 19, 1945. On September 2, Ho Chi Minh declared independence and the Vietnam nation started. He even quoted form the American Declaration of Independence to justify the existence of his country. He wanted American support since the Americans assisted him during WWII. Soon, South Vietnam war ruled by the British and the British gave control of it to the French. Unfortunately, Dr. King was premature in stating that colonial peoples were "free to move toward the promised land of economic security and cultural development." On December 19, 1946 the Vietminh Communist forces attacked French military forces in Hanoi. The Vietnam War between the French and Communist forces was on! This war (between the French imperialists and the Vietnamese people) ended in 1954 with the defeat of the French forces at Dien Bien Phu. The Geneva Accords divided Vietnam War up into Northern and Southern parts on the 17th parallel. Elections were called for a positive unification of both sections, but this never took place. Ngo Dinh Diem was named President of South Vietnam in 1956. Diem was a very controversial man. The Vietcong opposed the reactionary policies of Diem. Diem used policies that violated the religious liberty rights of the Buddhists in Southern Vietnam. Later, a civil war occurred in South Vietnam. It was North Vietnam vs. South Vietnam for the control of the peninsula. What was strange was that LBJ said that we were fighting against Communism when the global elite funded both the Capitalists and the Communists during the Cold War. Even President John F. Kennedy had second thoughts about the Vietnam conflict. He wanted a withdrawal policy. After JFK was assassinated, the Gulf of Tonkin incident came about. It was a very controversial occurrence in American history.

Vietnam should be explained fully in the world. America was involved in Vietnam since 1954, but U.S. troops were seriously overtly involved in the Vietnam War (via military strikes) in 1962. In 1962, 9,700 U.S. military so-called "advisers) and many CIA agents tried to support the corrupt reactionary regime of Diem. Diem was a true traitor to his people indeed. He ruled Saigon and now in 2012 Saigon is called Ho Chi Minh City. In that President Kennedy's Defense Secretary Robert McNamara said that America was winning the war at the time. JFK wanted to act cautiously in the Vietnam War. By 1963, he decided to slowly get rid of American G.I.s and by 1965, he wanted to get rid of all U.S. troops from Vietnam. He was assassinated before having his wish. Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson escalated the war massively. The Pentagon allow the South Vietnamese government to torture or even killed suspected enemies of Saigon. The peace movement was huge during the Vietnam War era. The first anti-war rally was in 1962. On March 31, 1968, Lyndon Johnson said on national television that the bombing north of the 20th parallel will stop. He said that he will not seek re-election in the fall. Hanoi deescalated its insurgency efforts. By October of 1968, Johnson orders total halts to bombing. America and Hanoi once agreed to preliminary peace talks in Paris. Famous anti-war activists are Joan Baez, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Carol Oglesby, Muhammad Ali, James Bevel, Jan Barry Crumb, Eartha Kitt, Eugene McCarthy, Justin Newlan, Robert Kennedy, a lot of veterans, and of course Coretta Scott King & Dr. Martin Luther King.

It's a historical fact that Richard Nixon wrecked early peace talks in Vietnam. If those peace talks materialized, the Vietnam War would of ended much earlier than it did. This occurred in 1968. Richard Nixon (according to writer Martin Kettle) secretly worked with the South Vietnamese government. This was done in order for the all party Vietnam peace talks to end. This caused more than 20,000 Americans to further die including thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodian human beings. The President Lyndon Johnson administration accused the Nixon team of stopping further peace talks in 1968. Nixon didn't want the peace efforts to allow Hubert Humphrey to become the next President of America. So, he used the go between named Ann Chennault to urge then South Vietnam's President Nguyen van Thieu to resist efforts to force them to the peace table. Ann was a reactionary. By October 31, 1968, LBJ ordered a complete halt to the bombing of North Vietnam and the precondition for getting the North and their Vietcong allies to join the talks. 2 days later, (from intense secret urgings from Nixon and his lieutenants like his campaign manager John Mitchell), Thieu announced his government would not take part in peace talks on November 2, 1968. Lyndon Johnson knew about this. He told Humphrey what was going on. LBJ threatened to denounce Thieu and denounce Nixon, but he never did publicly. Less than a week later, Richard Nixon was elected President with less than an one point margin in the popular vote over Humphrey. In the five weeks leading up to the election of 1968, 960 Americans were killed in Vietnam. In the years to come, under Nixon, 20,763 more US soldiers would die. "What the Nixon people did," the US diplomat Richard Holbrooke, then attached to the advance US guard to the Paris talks, tells Vanity Fair, "was perhaps even a violation of the law. "They massively, directly and covertly interfered in a major diplomatic negotiation, probably one of the most important negotiations in American diplomatic history.  If Hubert Humphrey was President, this country will be much different and possibly better than it is today. Nixon constantly denied that he was conspiring with Thieu against the US government, but the release of previously classified FBI files used by the authors show this was exactly what he was doing.

By the late 1960's to the early 1970's, over 60% of Americans opposed the Vietnam War. Towns, cities, and even the capitol of America were the numerous locations were active anti-war demonstrations commenced. The peace movement wanted the world to witness the error of America fighting the Vietnam War, because the war is essential a civil war. The dropping of bombs in a foreign land with no direct threat to America is wrong. Also, a peaceful negotiation among all sides is one out of many solutions to nonviolently ending that catastrophic conflict in Vietnam. The war crimes, the dropping of napalm, the killing of children, and the death of the U.S. military people needlessly are all negative occurrences during the Vietnam War. Even American G.I.s firmly expressed anti-war sentiments. Historian Howard Zinn included this paragraph on the opposition to the Vietnam War by American soldiers in his "People's History of the United States": "The capacity for independent judgment among ordinary Americans is probably best shown by the swift development of antiwar feeling among American GIs — volunteers and draftees who came mostly from lower-income groups. There had been, earlier in American history, instances of soldiers' disaffection from the war: isolated mutinies in the Revolutionary War, refusal of reenlistment in the midst of hostilities in the Mexican war, desertion and conscientious objection in World War I and World War II. But Vietnam produced opposition by soldiers and veterans on a scale, and with a fervor, never seen before." According to the Washington Peace Center: "During the Vietnam War, the military ranks carried out mass resistance on bases and ships in Southeast Asia, the Pacific, U.S. and Europe. Military resistance was instrumental in ending the war by making the ranks politically unreliable. This history is well documented in 'Soldiers in Revolt' by David Cortright and the recent film 'Sir! No Sir!'" By 1968, there were about 535,040 troops in Vietnam. Even Republican President Richard Nixon bombed massively Vietnam and Cambodia. An estimated 40,000 "Vietcong" (suspected members or supporters of the NLF) were murdered during the long-running "Operation Phoenix" assassination campaign conducted by the CIA, Special Forces and killer units of the Saigon forces. U.S. involvement in Vietnam ended by 1973. The Vietnam War finally ended in 1975 when Saigon was taken over by the Communist forces.




*Today, it is the 40th year anniversary of the Watergate scandal. This was when President Richard Nixon allowed his allies to rob the Watergate building (as supported by the Democrats). Nixon wanted to find incriminating information about the Democrats and any of President Richard Nixon's opponents. 

Hollywood Exposed

There are still facets of this world that we still need to comprehend. People know about the dirt found in Hollywood. For the record, there is a huge difference between Los Angeles and Hollywood. Los Angeles has a lot of real, down to Earth people. Los Angeles is a place where there is an epicenter of progressive movements and huge contributors to world society. We know about the real truth behind people like Ryan Seacrest, Tom Cruise (he split from Kate Moss recently in the summer of 2012), Tom Travolta, Rush Limbaugh (and his Dominican Republic escapades. His closet is filled with deception. He has a closet in his life indeed. This is the man that agrees with the evil torture in Abu Ghraib, the Iraq war, and mocking people suffering illnesses. He has devilish views), Donald Trump (who dehumanizes the first black American President, but claims not to be racist since Arsenio Hall was in his Apprentice Show. People know what Trump does behind the scenes), Capricon (who works for P. Diddy), Tajan Burton, Melissa Forde, John Wayne, Gwenyth Paltrow and others for years. We know their stories. So, it is what it is with them. We shouldn't be caught up in discussing their lifestyles obsessively. We ought to remain focused on the prize, which deals with improving the standard of living for all people & having justice plus equality for the human race. Now, in a way it's bigger than them (though celebrities should have responsibility for their actions). It is true that many people who were once in Hollywood woke up to live more productive lives. SONY MUSIC GROUP, UNIVERSAL, MCA, VIACOM and the other global corporations ought to possess a large blame for the messages they want send out to us in their global media system. This linkage between the military industrial complex and the mainstream entertainment industry has been going on for almost 100 years now. For example, Dave McGowan produced a fantastic series called: "Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation". It proves that many of the the rock n roll acts in the 1960's had close ties with the military industrial complex. Even today, folks from across musical & entertainment genres promote the agenda of the war on terror when they go overseas to perform at various venues. We should stand up to any corporation that promotes a negative message or evil stereotype against our people. Likewise, we as individuals have that responsibility to improve our own moral conduct. This means we can't bully people, we ought to fight back to not let society glamorize slurs about our people, we can't intentional hurt a person emotionally, we ought to vehemently oppose unjust violence against anyone, and we should strive to make the world better. We should promote righteousness and honor among ourselves and all peoples in the world. It's cool and fine to have humor, to participate in fun activities, and to show jokes, but not expressing cruelty toward any human being at any circumstance. As individuals, we have to assist our community and our families. One of the major influences in Hollywood is the showing of pantheism in their movies and cultural structures. What is pantheism? Pantheism is a belief that God is not separate from Nature. It's a belief that adheres to the notion that God is found in all matter including Nature, humans, oceans, the sky, animals, etc. (and people can have a religious communion with the natural world). Followers of pantheism view God as just a force found in the Universe that humans can tape into in order to have a connection with the divine. This New Age ideology is embraced in various forms from people like Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and others. The reality is that Nature should be respected. I don't believe in wanton destruction of mass trees or the extermination of animal species. Yet, Nature isn't God but a creation of God. Nature isn't perfect and only Almighty God is perfect (since God is the representation of perfection and infinite power. Nature lacks infinite intelligence and infinite power). New Age thinking and philosophy permeate Hollywood all of the time. The common fixture of New Age cosmology is the belief that man can be God basically via rituals. That is why numerous Hollywood actors and actresses publicly talk about a vague spirituality, a spirituality that hates legitimate morality, or a New Age spiritual ideology. "We are not servants of some God," declared the Satanist Aquino; "we are our own god's!" Also, Gnostic teachings and ideologies are found in numerous films. This has been conclusively explained via Joe Schimmel's research in his documentary films.

The worship of Nature (including the worship of the sorath or the sun) is nothing new. It's a common fixture of the Ancient Mystery Schools. This mysticism extends today in various religions, cults, and other organized secret societies. For example, the Masonic and occult imagery from yesterday is found plainly in the infrastructure of the Mormon religion (which uses Mitt Romney as a Trojan Horse to advance reactionary policies. Mormonism teaches the blasphemy that Jesus was a polygamist with many wives and that we can be our own god with a planet filled with wives plus children. Mormonism teaches that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers. Whether Mitt Romney or President Barack Obama will be the next President, we have to continue to fight for justice in the world), Roman Catholicism, etc. As for the current President, we know what his agenda is. That is why I oppose the TSA molesting innocent people inside of airports nationwide. I disagree with unelected czars created by this current administration monitoring society and I believe in the sanctity of human life period. I agree with the ideal of self-defense or a human being having the right to bear arms (as found in the Second Amendment). The system of global governance and a single global currency have been goals of elitists for decades & centuries. These policies are antithetical to the aims of nationalism as the higher up establishment hates nationalism obviously. Recently, documents from the Bilderbergers prove that numerous Bilderbergers hate nationalism as a concept. Still, we shouldn't be like some Republicans and present visceral, bigoted hatred toward President Barack Obama. We respect the President as a human being and we honor his family (if we disagree with the man, we disagree with him by using reasoned information excluding fear mongering). Not to mention that Mitt Romney has been exposed as a deceiver, a hypocrite, and a war monger on so many levels. Our eyes need to be wide open with discernment from God. 

People know about the slick world of Hollywood. Many celebrities were escorts before they became famous and even afterwards. Some go into Europe, Dubai, Asia, and other places globally in order to allow these rich, sick people lay up with them for the money. Some of these celebrities doing it are people that we wouldn't expect at first. It's a disgrace when rich celebrities do it since there is no excuse whatsoever for a decent person to sell their body for profit. A person has the right to their own dignity. There are disgusting parties (as found in the Bohemian Grove, secret locations, etc.) where the rich wealthy men have degenerate sex with the escort females. The women (from America, the UK, and throughout the world) are flown to St. Topez, France, and especially Dubai (not let this place fool you. Many folks in Dubai are about as devoutly Muslim as Franklin Graham or Henry VIII. I mentioned Dubai since Dubai is like the new jewel of the Illuminists). In these sex yacht parties, sick acts are performed on these women. All of these things have transpired for years. It's only been known to the wider public in the past 5-10 years with the advances made in the Internet and technology. That is why some folks want to censor the Net in depriving regular people the opportunity of finding the real truth. In the recession in America, some folks are offering themselves for even low amount of money in terms of escorts. This stuff isn't just transpiring in Dubai. It's all occurring in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dabi, etc. The music industry and the modeling industry are filled with escorts. Even the sister Noami Campbell is being exploited by the Russians. It isn't just one gender. Male escorts have existed in human history for thousands of years too. Fame and fortune aren't worth selling ones soul. So, it's like the super wealthy elite have sex with women & men from all over the world (many of these victimized people are drugged, filled with alcohol, and mentally abused. Stories MK Ultra & sex slaves didn't come out of nowhere). In the final analysis, the super wealthy use regressive austerity acts and ecologically destructive policies that harm males and females. Now, we should be careful. In this time, many young folks & even older adults are disrespecting and harming females in high numbers still. So, it's our job to prevent violence against any human being and to encourage males to respect females of any age. It's best to speak out against oppression. We should reject all forms of stereotyping and bad treatment against any woman or female period. Males ought to be respected in society too. Likewise, any man that harms a female or scapegoats females for their own personal issues is a punk, a coward, and a liar. In life, people will talk mess or garbage. I don't agree with that, but a real man should respond to people talking mess via nonviolent means (without assaulting people or disrespecting people). We should allow the haters to be our motivators.

Self hatred is linked to the degeneracy in Hollywood. This self hatred is found in every race, background, nationality, and gender. Now, our enemy isn't each other as brothers and sisters. Many brothers and sisters are coming home. Our major enemy is the global elite and the system of white supremacy influencing the religious, political, social, cultural, governmental and economic structures of the world. The institutional system of oppression (created by the elite) is an enemy too. As a black man, I will not mimic the actions or the thinking of my oppressors. I do believe that black people should promote our interests more without worshipping other groups of people that don't care for our interests at all. Some individuals [from other communities] exploit the black community for a cause or agenda. Yet, when we want to promote a cause (like being opposed to police brutality, exposing the prison industrial complex, fighting against crime, advancing African issues, hating imperialism, etc.); some of them (not all of them) are MIA (nowhere to be found). When a man or a woman betrays their own people, then Hollywood and the establishment will reward that person. People can say what they want about MC Hammer, but even HC Hammer didn't make records to explicitly condemn his own people all of the time. I don't ascribe to compromising with these entertainment decievers. They or the industry love a token that they can manipulate. We ought to break down these fake idols of faux fame and faux popularity in that world. The ways to fight and defeat self hatred are to: promote the beauty of people in every background, not worship whiteness (encourage our people to not have skin bleaching creams, etc.), promote real history of people of color, defend black people, and to fight white supremacy at every turn. Real culture is a part of my motto. Real black culture has nothing to do with some corporate minstrel show mess that we see in mainstream TV. We went from Duke Ellington, Ella Fritzgerald (from VA like me), Little Richard, Miles, Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Prince (I know the imperfections of some of these artists, but they had or have a knowledge of musical talent and they expressed it to the best of their abilities) to some mainstream music we have today. We still have a strong legacy from human beings like Dr. Martin Luther King, Coretta Scott King, Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and tons of great black leaders living now in 2012. We still have a strong black culture today in 2012 with a lot of talented brothers and sisters doing inspiring, excellent things in mechanics, teaching, legal actions, music, althetics, technology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, other sciences, theology, art, and a wide spectrum of talents. The good news is that in every generation, there are tons of folks that know the truth. Even in 2012, tons of people are doing their best with strength, motivation, and inspiration in order for society to be enriched. This fight means that us (who are of black Afrikan descent) should use our wealth and power to help our own people for sometimes other folks try to steal our financial ability to free ourselves. Some wealth of these rich people are more than the GDP of smaller nations.

The Gwyneth Paltrow controversy is a recent example of a long history of racism in society. It represents still that black people are maligned, stereotyped, and hated by many people (even by some traitorous blacks). For the record Gwyneth Paltrow is dead wrong to tweet those words. The brother Nas ought to know better than to support the degradation of his own people. I know people like Jay Z, the Dream, Ice T (he needs to stop trespassing on the truth. People don't know: Ice T disrespects his own people when talking about his wife Coco. He said that we black men would lay up with any type of women, which is an old stereotype. Newsflash, there are still brothers like me that like black sisters alone romantically and we are in the majority in the black community), Russel Simmons (he compared the N word to pigs feet, which is silly. The N word is about dehumanization since it falsely denies the real humanity of black human beings), and others would support Paltrow's comments. Imagine if a song with a slur about Jewish people, Hispanics, Asians, and others would exist. Would a person saying these lyrics in a concert become supported by the wider public? We know the precise answer to that question. Brother Nas, you are better than that. I am 10 years younger than you Nas, but you have to wise up Nas (smart up Nas). I just have to agree to disagree on Nas on this one since Nas is a real brother. On the other hand, some of these Driving Miss Daisy, boot licking, half stepping, House Negroes must believe that this so-called "queen white woman" Paltrow in their minds must be defended at all costs. No Sir, I will not bow before the illegitimate, false idols of Hollywood at all. It's time to call folks out who degrade black men and especially black women (since black women are demonized more than anyone in the world today in my opinion). You can't talk about Black Power and lay up with white supremacists or disrespect sisters in music, acting, or in private. It isn't happening and it's not cool. See, bigotry doesn't just reside in old Dixie; it's everywhere in the world. The organization of common interests, common goals, and common mobilization actions can fight against this oppressive system. These manipulated House Negroes don't give a pass to the sisters being abused by criminals, the sisters called out of the name by many folks in society, or the righteous brothers being demonized for being themselves. These House Negroes act so submissive to slick white racists and even justify oppression in order to maintain corporate sponsorship. Yet, as Brother Kwame Ture said, the white woman is not the queen of the world. The original Queens are black sisters alone. The Hollywood executives blatantly promote nefarious stereotypes against black men and black women all of the time. One example proves it. Nixakliel proved this reality by saying that Denzel Washington never received an Academy Award by playing engaging, charismatic, and strong Black Men (like Steve Biko, Malcolm X, and Ruben Carter), because these roles were revolutionary and controversial. Yet, he was rewarded by the Academy crowd for his role in Training Day (which is about a crooked, rogue cop that dies by a murderous Russian ambush). Even Halle Berry earned an Academy Award for playing a desperate woman having sex with a southern white racist, who was responsible for executing her character's husband. Mainstream so-called "liberal" Hollywood promotes a lot of sick anti-progressive messages while simultaneously claiming to be progressive. They are no different than the reactionary Republicans that they so abhor ideologically & politically. Isn't it ironic that some of the Hollywood crowd glamorize Communism when it was the Russian Bolsheviks that immorally executed millions of people (including Christians via the gulags). Communism like monopoly, cartel-Capitalism blatantly contributed to the harm of the standard of living in the four corners of the Earth. These systems contribute to the agenda of the new world order. That is why I will resist the agenda of the new world order completely in my life via various means and tactics.

Hollywood acts like it's a progressive, liberal location, but underneath that fake facade is the same reactionary anti-black attitude that is commonly found in the Klan. Paltrow's unjust comments are in the tip of the iceberg. Hollywood executives make Paltrow's comments seem pale (no pun intended. LOL. She is pale you know, very pale. LOL I'm just saying) in comparison to the huge racism found in Hollywood executives. For example, Leonard Rowe is probably the best known and most successful of black concert promoters. He said that he knows that many powerful Hollywood executives regularly use racial slurs all of the time. That is why many black people struggle in Hollywood all of the time. Some black concert promoters have trouble to even promote a mainstream black entertainer that crossed over into a mostly white audience. The great Sister Cynthia McKinney received evidence that was presented to the District Judge Robert P. Patterson and Chief Judge Lorretta A. Preska (or the Southern District of New York). The evidence showed that Hollywood executives use the N word, "uncle tom" (which I use on occasion), "colored," and other racially charged words. These words were used by the executives via email and conversations. Rowe's case was dismissed, but Rowe was never given the emails that produced the 18 page summary sheet. Who are these executives? According to Rowe, these people are found in the William Morris Agency (now known as William Morris Endeavor) and Creative Artists Agency, the biggest and the baddest of the bunch. (And adding political muscle to this tawdry script, William Morris Endeavor is currently headed by Ari Emanuel, brother to the former Chief of Staff of President Obama and now Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel). This racism in Hollywood have been exposed by Leonard Rowe, Paul Mooney, Marcus Washington (an expert), and tons of other people. This is nothing new. Howard Hughes was one of the most prejudiced persons in Hollywood. Hughes' chief of staff, Robert Maheu--as the late investigative columnist Jack Anderson famously revealed--was the point man who, with the help of the Mafia, organized attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro on the CIA's behalf. Offshore islands that Hughes had leased were used as training bases for CIA raids into Cuba.The struggle continues. Paltrow never created this situation. She is just a signal that we have a long way to go in order for us to reach that Promised Land that we all seek. We have issues of war, illiteracy, crime, poverty, civil liberties, the environment, some social issues, and tons of other issues that we should be concerned about. Yet, institutional racism ought to be exposed as well in the world. 

I WILL NEVER LOSE MY FAITH. I'M STILL HERE AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO BE OUT TO EXPRESS OPPOSITION TO DECADANCE AND TOLERANCE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH UNDER ALMIGHTY GOD. I DO BELIEVE THAT A HUMAN BEING SHOULD SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF GOD AND BELIEVE IN THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE & HEAVEN. THE LOVE OF LIFE, JOY, TEMPERANCE, BOUNDARIES IN OUR SOCIAL CONDUCT, AND THE LIGHT OF WISOM ARE GREAT SIGNS OF HOLINESS.
