PART 1
PROMOTING WAR
Deanna Spingola
September 9, 2007
Ever since Lincoln's "Civil War," America has been "transformed from a
limited, constitutional government to a highly centralized welfare-
warfare state."[1] War is allegedly initiated for "national security"
reasons - "newspeak" for resource seizure and/or control by
multinational corporations/banks through their financial grip on
governments. What! You think the United States would not participate
in or condone plunder? The government plunders your pocket for
interest payments (AKA income tax) on their loans from the Federal
Reserve to finance all war-like activities, whether subversive or public!
Neither Vietnam nor Iraq was a threat to our "national security." The
ongoing assault against the citizens of Iraq started long before March
2003 or even 1991. This last invasion was premeditated and planned
long before 9/11. Likewise - "the invasion of Vietnam was deliberate
and calculated, as were policies and strategies that bordered on
genocide and were designed to force millions of people to abandon
their homes. Experimental weapons were used against civilians.
Chemicals banned in the United States -- Agent Orange -- were used to
change the genetic and environmental order in Vietnam."[5]
Ho Chi Minh was part of the group which founded the French
Communist party, later banned after the signing of the Nazi-Soviet
Non-Aggression pact in August 1939. "He was summoned to Moscow
for training and, in late 1924 he was sent to Guangzhou, Canton,
China, where he organized a revolutionary movement among
Vietnamese exiles called the Viet Nam Thanh Nien Cach Menh Dong
Chi Hoi (Revolutionary Youth League). He was forced to leave by local
authorities who cracked down on Communist activities. He represented
Communist International when he went to Hong Kong and founded the
Indochinese Communist Party (ICP) on February 3, 1930 at a
conference of the Thanh Nein. Party objectives include: overthrow the
French, establish an independent Vietnam, nationalization of the
economy, cancellation of public debts, land reform, education for
everyone, and the creation of an eight-hour work day.[12]
Hong Kong's British police arrested him in June 1931 and incarcerated
him until 1933. He then went to the Soviet Union and taught at the
Lenin Institute until 1938 when he returned to China as an advisor to
the "Chinese Communist armed forces."[13]
Prior to the crash of 1929, U.S. bankers and officials claimed that the
economy was good: On July 27, 1928, Herbert Hoover said in San
Francisco: "Unemployment in the sense of distress is widely
disappearing.... We in America today are nearer to the final triumph
over poverty than ever before in the history of any land."[14] Do you
recognize the familiar jargon?
After Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941, Japan moved into southern
Indochina. Japan occupied Vietnam in 1941 despite the efforts of Ho
Chi Minh and his Communist Viet Minh (Vietnam Independence
League). During World War II, Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh received military
equipment and financial assistance from the United States in return for
intelligence information on Japanese operations in Indochina.[16] The
U.S. military intelligence agency Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
teamed up "with Ho Chi Minh and his Viet Minh guerrillas to harass
Japanese troops in the jungles."[17]

PART 2
October 6, 2007
From October 1944 to May 1945, Hanoi and the surrounding area
suffered a horrific famine that resulted in the starvation deaths of
nearly two million people, out of a population of about ten million.
There were many reasons for the famine, the first and foremost was
war! Remember, the Japanese invaded and occupied Viet Nam
beginning in 1941. The Americans were bombing Japanese occupiers
as well as crucial infrastructure, like roads. This "collateral" damage
affected the transportation of rice from the south of Viet Nam where
the majority of rice, a daily staple, was grown. Another famine factor
was the ongoing exploitation of natural resources. Fertile food-
producing land used for generations was seized by the French for more
exportable, non eatable, high profit-producing crops. Understandably,
the deadly deficiencies further provoked peasant revolts against both
the Japanese and the French colonial society. Hungry people are
desperate people! Hunger rules the world!
In 1945, there were two groups who were involved in clandestine
activities with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in Indochina. One
represented Western Oil interests - the GBT or the Gordon Group. The
other group was the Viet Minh (a popular movement of Catholics,
Buddhists, small businessmen, communists and farmers).[1] "By 1945,
the American OSS, dedicated to supporting guerrilla warfare and
resistance organization, and the Office of War Information (OWI), which
disseminated US propaganda, were developing independent contacts
inside northern Indochina. As a result, the OSS increasingly endorsed
the one truly effective resistance movement: Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh
coalition."[2]
Ho Chi Minh feared that China and France would cut a deal to remove
him, destroy the Viet Minh and return Viet Nam to the French.
However, the OSS had a statement from Chiang Kai-shek, dated
August 24, 1945 indicating that China had no interest in getting
"mired" in Indochina. Chiang had expressed this attitude to Roosevelt
in Cairo in November 1943. It was his contention that the Vietnamese
were not Chinese, could not be assimilated into Chinese society and
that China had no territorial interest in Indochina. Perhaps China
merely intended to deal with France regarding their interests without
even considering the viability of the Vietnamese independence
movement.[3]
Saigon fell on August 25, 1945. Then on August 28, 1945 the Viet Minh
announced the formation of the provisional government of the
Democratic Republic of Viet Nam.
Independence Day for Viet Nam was scheduled for September 2, 1945.
The atmosphere in Hanoi, after decades of foreign subjection, was
festive. Residents were cleaning storefronts and hanging red garlands
of flowers. Streamers proclaimed "Liberty for Viet Nam" and
"Independence." The allies, especially Americans, were welcome.
British troops arrived about the ninth of September. The Vietnamese
anticipated a new government headed by the person who had
struggled for their independence for so long - Ho Chi Minh of the Viet
Minh. The people wanted change and independence from all foreign
domination. Ninety percent of the inhabitants of Viet Nam lived off the
land and they had been subjected to an evil system of feudalism which
reduced them to mere slaves.[4]
Despite the fact that Ho Chi Minh looked to the future he defined some
of the French abuses inflicted on the Vietnamese in his speech on
September 2, 1945. He was introduced to the huge crowd as the
"liberator and savior of the nation." He said that for more than eighty
years the French colonialists had violated and oppressed the citizens.
He accused them of the following: imposing inhuman laws, dividing the
country into three distinct political regimes to destroy national unity,[8]
killed our patriots, drowned their uprisings in "rivers of blood," silenced
public opinion, "fostered political obscurantism," weakened the race by
encouraging the use of opium and alcohol, devastated and exploited
the land, robbed the people of their rice fields, mines, forests and raw
materials, "monopolized the issuance of banknotes and export trade,"
invented hundreds of unjustifiable taxes to reduce the peasantry and
small businessman to a state of extreme poverty and mercilessly
exploited the workers.[9] Worldwide, tyrants use the same tactics.
In addition, Ho accused the "Japanese fascists" of violating Indochina's
territory by "establishing new bases for their fight against the Allies."
The complicit French basically handed the country over to the Japanese
which added to the suffering of the citizens. Viet Nam ceased to be a
French colony in the autumn of 1940 and became occupied by the
Japanese. Ho declared: "the French have fled, the Japanese have
capitulated, Emperor Bao Dai has abdicated. Our people have broken
the chains which for nearly a century have fettered them and have
won independence for our nation. For these reasons, we, members of
the Provisional Government, representing the whole of the Vietnamese
people, declare that from now on we break off all relations of a colonial
character with France; we repeal all international obligations that
France has so far subscribed to on our behalf; and we abolish all the
special rights the French have unlawfully acquired in our territory. We
are convinced that the Allied nations which at Tehran and San
Francisco acknowledged the principles of self determination and
equality of nations, will not refuse to acknowledge the independence of
Viet Nam. For these reasons, we, members of the Provisional
Government of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, solemnly declare
to the world that Viet Nam has the right to be a free and independent
country - and in fact it is so already. The entire Vietnamese people are
determined to mobilize all their spiritual and material forces, to
sacrifice their lives and property, in order to safeguard their right to
liberty and independence."[10]
When Ho Chi Minh proclaimed that Viet Nam was finally free there was
a small assembly of agents from the OSS in the crowd of four hundred
thousand Vietnamese who had gathered to hear Ho's address. The OSS
hierarchy had urged him to create an independent Viet Nam. These
agents had worked closely with him and other Vietnamese insurgents
prior to the end of World War II. Ho and his group had rescued downed
American pilots and gathered intelligence on the Japanese for the
American OSS.
Ho Chi Minh idealistically thought that his country was free. He was not
aware that Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin had
already decided the post-war fate of Southeast Asia, "with or without
their consent," at the nefarious Potsdam Conference, held at Potsdam,
Germany, from July 17 to August 2, 1945. Never mind that the
indigenous peoples had lived there for hundreds of years and assumed
that their land belonged to them.[11] The country was to be divided
into two sections with the northern half under the control of China, not
Chiang Kai-shek, and the southern half under the British. China was
Viet Nam's ancient enemy. Ho Chi Minh, in 1945, understood how
difficult it would be for his nation to escape domination by China or for
that matter, the Soviet Union if used as a counterforce. He had hoped
that the U.S. would play a peaceful, stabilizing role in his country's
development.[12] Ho Chi Minh had written numerous letters to U.S.
officials years before World War II requesting help - they went
unanswered.
On September 23, the Saigon population rebelled against the
foreigners and surrounded them in the center of the city without
access to supplies. In October, the fighting French managed to re-
establish control. This was followed by months of negotiations and
international political maneuvers which gave Indochina back to France.
The Viet Minh negotiation strategy of independence failed despite Ho
Chi Minh's trip to France. In March, 1946, Ho stood before a crowd in
Hanoi, and sadly proclaimed, "I swear, I have not sold you out!"[13]
"Actually the U.S. involvement in what later became known as the Viet
Nam War began on the very day of the Japanese surrender, September
2, 1945."[15] On that day, the representative of the Emperor of Japan
signed the surrender papers laid before him by General Douglas
MacArthur on the deck of the battleship Missouri in Tokyo.
Roosevelt unexpectedly died at age 63 on April 12, 1945, less than two
months after the Yalta conference. There are claims that he was
poisoned. Truman, his vice president, assumed the otherwise
prestigious role of taking orders from the Power Elite.
Plans had been made for an American land invasion into Japan in the
late fall of 1945 using the island of Okinawa as a launching site when it
became available. Air raids against Okinawa started in October 1944.
The invasion preparations included sufficient equipment to supply
500,000 men. Japanese resistance on Okinawa ended on June 22,
1945. Supplies and equipment began to be stacked up, fifteen to
twenty feet high, all over the island. Japan surrendered earlier than
expected which curtailed the massive invasion. Colonel L. Fletcher
Prouty was at Naha Harbor, Okinawa when U.S. Navy Transport vessels
began to show up. He relates that the war materials were loaded onto
those ships. He asked the Harbormaster "if all of that new material was
being returned to the States." According to Prouty, the Harbormaster
responded: "Hell No! They ain't never goin' to see it again. One half of
this stuff, enough to equip and support at least 150,000 men, is going
to Korea and the other half is going to Indochina.'"[18]
"In 1945, none of us had any idea that the first battles of the Cold War
were going to be fought by U.S. Military units in those two regions
beginning in 1950 and 1965, yet that is precisely what had been
planned and it is precisely what happened. Who made that decision
back in 1943-1945?"[19]
That military material was loaded during September 1945 and shipped
to Haiphong the port of Hanoi, the capital of Viet Nam. There were
sufficient arms to supply any army for battle. "Once in Haiphong
Harbor this enormous shipment of arms was transferred under the
direction of U.S. Army Major General Gallagher, who was supporting
the OSS and his associate Ho Chi Minh. Gallagher had come from China
to mop up the remnants of the defeated Japanese army. Ho's military
commander Colonel Giap quickly moved this equipment into hiding
until the day when it would be needed. By 1954, that time had
come."[20] Fot part one click below.

PART 3
By early 1947, the Truman Administration had made decisions and set
policy that would impact Viet Nam for the next two decades. Based on
the friendliness and past association with OSS agents, Viet Minh
leaders had hoped for American assistance and support. Ho Chi Minh
had written numerous letters to President Truman and the State
Department in 1945 and 1946 requesting America's help in freeing Viet
Nam from France. None were ever acknowledged. He also petitioned
the United States following World War I. Both times, his pleas were
ignored.
In November 1953, the CIA airline, Civil Air Transport (CAT) assisted the
French air force airlift 16,000 French soldiers into a fortified base that
the French had established in the North called Dien Bien Phu. The
United States had also built highways, ports and airfields in Indochina
which they later used to facilitate their war efforts.[13]
"The CIA has been under CFR control almost continuously since its
creation, starting with Allen Dulles, founding member of the CFR and
brother of Secretary of State under President Eisenhower (CFR,
Bohemian Club), John Foster Dulles. Eisenhower chose many of his
cabinet members from the CFR, including his Secretary of State, John
Foster Dulles, an attorney for Standard Oil. Allen Dulles had been at
the Paris Peace Conference, joined the CFR in 1926, and later became
its president." "John Foster Dulles had been one of Woodrow Wilson's
young protégés at the Paris Peace Conference. A founding member of
the CFR...he was an in-law of the Rockefellers, Chairman of the Board
of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Board Chairman of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace."[16]
By April 1954, it appeared that the French were going to lose at Dien
Bien Phu. John Foster Dulles, along with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had
ordered two American aircraft carriers to the Gulf of Tonkin equipped
with atomic bombs. The French pointed out that those atomic weapons
would also destroy their troops in a war of such close conflict. A peace
conference was already scheduled. In preparation, a CIA propaganda
team instigated a campaign to disseminate fabricated news items
stating that the Chinese were arming the Viet Minh in order to connect
them to the "world Communist movement." The CIA believed this
propaganda would strengthen their position at the Geneva talks. The
CIA circulated Anti-communist articles and rumors to generate hatred
of the Chinese, complete with stories of rape.[17]
Vietnamese General Giap defeated the French at the Dien Bien Phu,
after a lengthy battle which started on Saturday, March 13, 1954 and
ended on May 8, 1954.[18] The inevitable peace conference, the
Geneva Conventions were held between May 8 and July 21, 1954
attended by France, the Viet Minh, the USSR, Communist China, the
United Kingdom, the United States, and the three Associated States of
Laos, Cambodia, and Viet Nam present.[19] The United States refused
to sign the Final Declaration which prohibited any further military
action against the Viet Minh. Laos, Cambodia, and Viet Nam received
their alleged independence and Viet Nam was temporarily divided
between at about the 17th parallel with the North assigned to the Viet
Minh and the South assigned to the pro French puppet, Bao Dai.[20]
During the Geneva Peace talks it was decided that elections to unite
the country would be held in Viet Nam by July 1956. Citizens had one
year, according to the elitist's subjective chessboard, to migrate to the
other part of the country.[21]
In June 1954, while the Geneva Conference was still in session, the
CIA's Saigon Military Mission (SMM) arrived to establish a campaign of
undercover military and psychological warfare against the Viet Minh.
They had a hefty checkbook and unlimited American taxpayer dollars.
Yes, our government commits acts of terrorism with your money! They
were to carry out "political, psychological and terrorist activities
against the native population in the northern regions" - where citizens
were struggling to find enough to eat and where Ho Chi Minh's growing
group of revolutionaries was located. With the best-equipped stable of
saboteurs, they committed "terrorist acts in Hanoi and surrounding
Tonkin. SMM agents polluted petroleum supplies, sabotaged the
railroad, tried to destroy the largest printing establishment in the
North, bombed the post offices, wrote and distributed millions of anti-
Viet Minh leaflets and printed and distributed counterfeit money." The
abundance of fake money created inflation.[22] When the monopoly
media describes deadly explosive events in Baghdad, I speculatively
surmise that it might be the CIA's Baghdad Military Mission (BMM), also
financed by American dollars.
In 1955, U.S. Air Force Col. Edward G. Lansdale, attached to the CIA,
was given a mission: create a pro-American, Saigon-based government
led by someone wholly acceptable to the United States. Cardinal
Spellman, a religious leader in New York, introduced Ngo Dinh Diem to
Allen Dulles, who recommended Diem for the job. Ngo Dinh Diem was
an American-educated Catholic. This was a questionable choice
considering Viet Nam is primarily a Buddhist country. Bao Dai
appointed Diem as his prime minister. Shortly after, playboy Bao Dai
who had a penchant for sports cars, women and gambling went into a
permanent exile on the French Riviera, compliments of the CIA and
American tax dollars.[24] He had a 600 ton air conditioned yacht and
managed to amass huge sums of money which he stashed in Swiss
bank accounts. Such is the life of installed, compliant puppet leaders in
every country.
The CIA spent $100 million to carry out the relocation provision. The
CIA determined to resettle sufficient Catholics in the south to create a
political base for Diem. To facilitate the move, General Claire L.
Chennault, a World War II legend, used his Taiwan-based Civil Air
Transport (CAT) which was purchased by the CIA in 1950. They are
chartered in Delaware but available for CIA use anywhere in the world.
Navy boats carrying 1,000 people for 1,000 miles were also used.
Later, organized exodus was cited by the Power Elite and their
monopoly media as proof that the Vietnamese didn't want to live under
communism.
The U.S. refused to allow free elections to take place in July 1956
because, as even President Eisenhower admitted, Ho Chi Minh would
have won the elections by at least eighty percent of the vote."[28] Ho
Chi Minh led the fight for liberation against the French. Ho had
established himself as the "symbol of nationalism and the struggle for
freedom to the overwhelming majority of the population. Their puppet,
Ngo Dinh Diem, announced that there would be no elections four days
before they were to occur. So Diem was the de facto, American-
installed president as of October 26, 1955.
In further violation of the Geneva Accords, the United States sent 350
additional military men to Saigon. The French were gone - they had a
clean slate. The U.S. laid the foundation for future warfare by sending
selected Vietnamese to U.S. bases for guerilla training. For part two

PART 4
ANGLO-AMERICAN CHESSBOARD
Some of the most manipulative games in the Power Elite Playbook are
orchestrated mass migrations or depopulation of desirable strategic
locations for the purpose of confiscation. These terrorist tactics are
akin to Chess except people are the pawns. These satanic schemes are
expertly employed to accomplish stealthy social, economic or political
goals. Unsuspecting people "spontaneously" migrate for various
reasons: economics, "natural" disasters (Katrina), warfare, enforced
famine (decimate the buffalo/starve the indigenous population),
terrorism and organized religious, ethnic, emotional and physical
persecution. Those who are far-sighted and have adequate resources
survive by escaping before they are included in the escalating body
counts. Others, not so fortunate, yet who narrowly elude death, may
receive prearranged "humanitarian assistance" and staged
"opportunities" to resettle to specific places, like reservations, inner-
city ghettos or other "choice locations."
The Russian Tsar, Alexander II, was assassinated on March 13, 1881,
allegedly by a Jewish patsy named Ignacy Grinevitsky. Assassinations,
in America or elsewhere, are common methods of seizing political
power. They are also used to initiate war (both sides financed by the
bankers) or persecution against ethnic groups or predetermined target
countries. The Tsar was conveniently replaced by his son, a puppet of
some Rothschild-aligned Russian bankers. Terrorist pogroms began
immediately! Nationwide pogroms began in earnest in Russia around
1890. Thousands of Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered
by the Cossacks. Pogroms against the Jews also occurred in Poland,
Romania, and Bulgaria - all initiated by Rothschild agents. As the
pogroms continued over the next two or three decades, terrified
refugees fled to the United States. To "assist" the refugees,
humanitarian committees were established by Jacob Schiff and other
Rothschild agents.[2]
The pogroms resulted in a phenomenon: the Schiff-Rothschild
humanitarian-committees manufactured methods to shuffle a majority
of the refugees into large cities like New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Detroit, and Los Angeles.[3] "Before 1900, American Jews
never amounted even to 1 percent of America's total population, by
1930 Jews formed about 3½ percent. There were more Jews in America
by then than there were Episcopalians or Presbyterians. American Jews
raised 63 million dollars in relief funds during the war years and
became more immersed in European Jewish affairs than ever
before."[4] The new immigrants quickly became "naturalized-citizens"
and indoctrinated Democrats, previous victims that that were now
grateful and thus controlled by their "benefactors." They assumed the
role of "vital factors" in our nation, maintained to this day. Those new
voters helped Schiff to install compliant stooges like Senator Nelson
Aldrich and President Woodrow Wilson.[5]
There have always been Jews in Jerusalem, Safed, Nablus and Hebron.
Individual immigration to the area has never ceased. In 1897 Lord
Edmond Rothschild of London and Jacob H. Schiff of New York City
recruited Austrian Theodor Herzl, totally indifferent to religion, to
organize the World Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland which
attracted 197 idealistic delegates. Originally, there were no thoughts of
Palestine as a future home. Mozambique, the Congo, Argentina,
Uganda and Cyprus were possibilities. Palestine, part of the Ottoman
Empire, was brought to the attention of the Zionist Congress in
1903.[7]
The Zionists assumed that Great Britain, France, Russia, Serbia and
Belgium would prevail in World War I and that the Ottoman Empire
would be dismantled. The Zionists secured a promise from Great
Britain that Palestine would be "a national home" for the Jews. In
return, the World Zionist Organization would network and pressure
Jews in Austria, Germany, France and the United States to support the
Allied war effort. The United States entered the war in 1917, the same
year that Lord Alfred Balfour (1848-1930), a crucial Zionist patron and
the British Foreign Minister, sent a letter (written by Zionist
negotiators) to Lord Baron Rothschild which ultimately grew into the
Balfour Declaration, "the key which unlocks the doors of Palestine."
Lord Balfour said: Zionism … is of far profounder import than the
desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that
ancient land."[11]
After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, Germany used the Jews for slave
labor for the war effort which eliminated further immigration into
Palestine. Hitler favored Zionism and the expulsion of the Jews up to
this point. In fact, Hitler favored Zionism to the extent that it was the
only other flag permitted to fly in Germany.[12] The oil companies,
Shell and Royal Dutch merged under the leadership of Henri Deterding,
a big supporter of Adolph Hitler, puppet of the Power Elite - the
international bankers, including George W. Bush's grandfather. The
Rothschilds were major stockholders of Royal Dutch Shell.[13]

December 8, 2007
Much has been written about America's war in Viet Nam, another
small, distant, non-threatening, resource-rich third world country.
Despite devised government justifications, war is always about power
and resources. Contrived circumstances provoke popular support;
history is super sanitized in government-school text books. America's
Middle East quagmire is not about terminating terrorism and the Viet
Nam war was not about checking communism. Tactics, successful
elsewhere, are currently perpetrated against the hapless citizens of
Afghanistan and Iraq. Tomorrow, it will be the citizens of Iran. For
additional background on Viet Nam, please read the previous parts of
this series. The following events transpired:
Especially from the inception of the Council on Foreign Relations and its
multitude of minions and spin-off organizations, personal freedoms
have been under world-wide attack. Instigating tyrannical control in the
Far East began in 1925 with the establishment, in twelve countries, of
the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR), financed by the Rockefeller and
Carnegie Foundations which were controlled by an alliance of Morgan
and Rockefeller interests in Wall Street. Other financing came from
Standard Oil, IT&T, International General Electric, National City Bank
and Chase National Bank and private individuals with Wall Street
connections.[4]
The IPR's party line had considerable commonality with the Kremlin's
party line - and with good reason - they sprung from the same source.
IPR headquarters and its American tentacle were in Rockefeller's home
state - New York. The offices of an associated magazine, the Amerasia,
were searched on June 6, 1945 by FBI agents who found over 1800 top-
secret, classified documents that had been stolen from government
files.[5] Frederick Vanderbilt Field, a descendent of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, was a cash-contributing member of IPR and the founder
and Editorial Board Chairman of the magazine Amerasia which was
established in 1937 as a vehicle for criticism of Japanese attacks in
China. He was also a guest editor and weekly columnist at the Daily
Worker, the official newspaper of America's Communist Party.[6]
The State Department and other government agencies were
deliberately staffed by influential IPR members, including Alger Hiss,
Owen Lattimore, editor of the IPR's quarterly Pacific Affairs and other
fellow travelers. Lattimore left the IPR to assume a post as Chiang Kai-
shek's political advisor. He had been recommended by fellow traveler,
Lauchlin Currie, economic advisor to President Roosevelt.[7] The U.S.
government adopted the IPR plan to cut aid to Chiang Kai-shek,
ultimately resulting in the suppression of 600,000,000 Chinese
between 1945 and 1949.[8]
In the 1930s Prescott Bush, the Harrimans, the Rockefellers, and their
associates financed the Nazis, actions that were later covered by
cohorts in high place. During the same time, the Rockefellers pushed
for a war against Japan because the Rockefellers, who have always
deeply despised competition, were contending with Japan for the oil
and rubber resources in Southeast Asia. This rivalry threatened the
Rockefeller dream of capturing the enormous "China market" for their
innumerable petroleum products.[11]
The CFR, with continued financial support from Rockefeller and others,
direct the government's foreign policies. The CFR, the CIA, the IPR and
hundreds of other like-minded secretive organizations were all created
for one purpose: instill world-wide tyranny. Call it Communism,
Fascism, Nazism, Socialism or any other "ism," all multipurpose labels
and philosophies created to manipulate markets, money and mankind.
Big business and the bankers are the men behind the bombs; they are
the puppet masters. They use the specter of the "isms" to incense well-
intentioned gun-toting, uniformed citizens to kill foreign strangers. The
"isms" are always applied to undeveloped, uncooperative countries.
Conversely, cooperative tyrants who have opened their doors to
foreign investment are recipients of U.S. friendship.
Beginning in 1954, the CIA's Saigon Military Mission (SMM), under the
direction of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (CFR, Allen's brother),
carried on pervasive, bloody, undercover guerrilla warfare operations
in Viet Nam. His words were that these "agent provocateurs" should
"raise hell."[13] The turmoil was blamed on the local citizens,
deceptively labeled as the insurgency.
The CIA, the covert agency at the disposal of the president who is at
the disposal of the bankers who installed him into office, had also
recently deposed the governments of Guatemala, the Philippines, and
Iran and would soon target Cuba. Since its inception in 1947, the CIA
has interfered in the affairs of over fifty countries. In 1957, the CIA
rigged elections in Lebanon which led to a bloody civil war. CIA
objectives include installing governments friendly to multinational
banks and businesses. The CIA made Guatemala safe, not for
democracy, but for the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company. CIA
director, Allen Dulles (President of the CFR), owned UFC stock.
With CIA help, Diem rigged the first elections for the new National
Assembly. His supporters won 112 of the 123 seats.[17] Voters were
threatened and even beaten.[18] The formal unification elections,
promised at Geneva and scheduled for 1956, were never held. Eighty
percent of the Vietnamese citizens favored Ho Chi Minh, a national
hero, who adamantly asserted that natural resources belonged to the
Vietnamese, victims of long-term resource exploitation. Diem, the
American asset, repeatedly refused North Vietnamese initiatives for
national unity elections. Consequently, the north became the duly
designated communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the south
became the anti-communist Republic of Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh supplied the guerrilla units with aid and encouraged the
various groups to combine and "form a more powerful and effective
resistance organization." They created the National Front for the
Liberation of South Vietnam (NLF) in December 1960. The NLF, referred
to as the 'Vietcong' by Americans comprised "a dozen different political
and religious groups." The leader was Hua Tho, a non-Marxist, Saigon
lawyer. Other members of the movement supported Communism
whose deceptive dogma appeals to the downtrodden. Rather,
Communism has always been a tool of the wealthy. The NLF had a 10
point plan. Their first objective was to replace the Diem government
with one that "represented all social classes and religions."[20]
The NLF had a strict code of behavior when they entered and
"liberated" a village: "(1) Not to do what is likely to damage the land
and crops or spoil the houses and belongings of the people; (2) Not to
insist on buying or borrowing what the people are not willing to sell or
lend; (3) Never to break our word; (4) Not to do or speak what is likely
to make people believe that we hold them in contempt; (5) To help
them in their daily work (harvesting, fetching firewood, carrying water,
sewing, etc.)"[22]
Both new governments floundered. Ngo Dinh Diem of South Viet Nam
took counsel from the CIA and Ho Chi Minh of North Viet Nam accepted
guidance from the KGB, all "according to the planned international
scenario."[23] Opposition was essential to the planned conflict. As
directed, Diem deported the French and the Chinese residents. The
Chinese were the middle-men rice buyers for the south's abundant rice
production. They also imported fresh water. When they left, rice rotted
on the docks. There was no water, except putrid rice paddy water. The
French bureaucracy, though imperfect, had provided order and
security. So, there was no food, no water, no security, and no order - all
chaotic circumstances calculated to demoralize the citizenry. Self
sufficiency had been methodically transformed into desperate
dependency. Rice, a staple, had to be imported.[24] Pumped-up
economic statistics and production figures were deceptively reported
by the U.S. media while at the same time the south received $250
million in aid per year from the naive U.S. taxpayers.[25] Chaos
reigned - just like it does in Iraq and Afghanistan today!

PART 6
Biological and chemical weapons were banned on June 17, 1925 at the
Geneva Convention and entered into force on February 8, 1928.
However, under Operation Ranch Hand, from 1961 to 1971, the U.S., in
a historically unprecedented level of chemical warfare, abhorrent when
utilized by others, began a full-scale "defoliation" project in Viet Nam.
Defoliation, simply stated, is chemical genocide. The U.S.
indiscriminately sprayed 19,395,369 gallons of poisonous herbicide
over 6,465,123 acres and 30,305 square miles (1981 figures).[2]
Aircraft, hand sprayers, trucks, helicopters and boats were used for the
"defoliation" of the forests and the inhumane destruction of food crops
and their distribution. Monsanto's profitable Agent Orange contains
dioxin, one of the most toxic substances ever produced, an irremovable
chemical that accumulates in the body of animals and humans.[3]
Ngo Dinh Diem, South Viet Nam's ruthless puppet dictator, behaved
according to the Power Elite Playbook. He replaced the constitution
that Ho Chi Minh had proposed for a united Viet Nam. Ho's was
virtually a carbon copy of America's constitution. Dictator Diem's
included Article 98 which prohibited freedom of the press, free speech
and other liberties - claiming that these despotic measures would
ensure greater security. His Order 46 stated: "Individuals considered
dangerous to the national defense and common security may be
confined by executive order to a concentration camp." Buddhist monks
(those who didn't immolate themselves in protest) and nuns were
considered especially dangerous; hundreds were imprisoned.[11]
By 1963, the U.S. already had 16,300 military "advisors" in the south
and wanted to increase that number. Diem must have resisted!
Therefore, he was eliminated and replaced by a more cooperative
"leader." Instead of a bloodless, Kennedy-approved military coup, Ngo
Dinh Diem and his brother were assassinated on November 1, 1963 on
the instructions of the very elite W. Averell Harriman (CFR, Marshall
Plan Administrator), who deftly managed American policy (behind the
scenes) for Viet Nam. CIA operative, E. Howard Hunt, faked cables in
an attempt to implicate Kennedy in Ngo Dinh Diem's assassination.[12]
Three-fourths of South Viet Nam was a "free fire zone" which "justified
the murder of virtually anyone in thousands of villages in those vast
areas. At the time, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara (CFR,
Bilderberg) cited a 1967 memo in which he estimated the number of
Vietnamese civilians killed or seriously injured by U.S. forces at 1000
per week."[19]
So, in the same month and same year, two national leaders were
assassinated: Diem on November 1 and Kennedy on November 22,
1963. Those who challenge the Power Elite and their associates in their
exploitations of third world countries automatically become a threat to
"national security."[20] Johnson, Kennedy's obedient replacement,
escalated the war through the false-flag Tonkin Bay attack. He
endorsed Eisenhower's (CFR) devised Domino Theory.[21] Kennedy
had, for a time, also.[22]
Colby assumed the job of Executive Director of CIA in 1971 and was
called to testify before Congress that same year. He cooperated with
Congress in an effort to save the Agency but his testimony damaged
the CIA's image. Other insiders felt that the CIA should not be subject
to congressional intrusion. Colby became CIA Director in 1973 when
James Schlesinger (CFR) became Secretary of Defense. Gerald Ford
(CFR, Bilderberg, Master Mason, Warren Commission), the nation's first
unelected vice president and president,* as incoming president,
reorganized on November 4, 1975. He fired Colby (who later died
under suspicious circumstances) and replaced him with George H. W.
Bush (Skull & Bones, Bohemian Grove, CFR Director) at the suggestion
of Machiavellian minion Henry Kissinger (CFR Director 1977-1981,
Bohemian Grove, Bilderberger, Trilateral Commission, National Security
Advisor 1969-1975, and Secretary of State (September 22, 1973 -
January 20, 1977).
Ford appointed Bush as CIA Director during a very crucial time. The
House Select Committee on Assassinations was investigating CIA-FBI
links to the murders of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin
Luther King. Countless witnesses were conveniently murdered just
before their scheduled appearances to testify. Ford, while on the
Warren Commission, secretly reported to FBI Director Hoover on
Commission activities. According to declassified files, Ford admitted
that he instructed the Warren Commission to move Kennedy's back
wound up by several inches. Gerald Ford and Arlen Specter, another
member of the Commission, were the cover-up architects and
promoted the implausible single bullet theory.[25]
Ford also fired James Schlesinger and replaced him with Chief of Staff
Donald Rumsfeld (CFR, Bilderberg), the Prince of Poison. Rumsfeld's
deputy, Richard B. Cheney (former CFR Director, Trilateral
Commission), moved up as Chief of Staff.
At the completion of the Cold War Viet Nam experiment there was a
series of secretive "peace" conferences in Paris. Henry Kissinger met
with Viet Nam's Le Duc Tho over a period of two years. Kissinger, a
"genocidist" and "noted war criminal" won the Nobel Peace Prize
(1973) along with Viet Nam's Le Duc Tho who rejected the award
stating that there was no peace in his country.[30]
Amazing hypocrisy - Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize after Viet
Nam and the precedent-setting secret bombing of neutral Cambodia
over a four year period of time, "to protect Americans in Vietnam.
Since October 1970 the Congress had included in every military
appropriation bill a proviso expressly forbidding bombing in Cambodia
except for that purpose."[31] Nixon and Kissinger, along with John
Negroponte ** (Kissinger aide, officer in charge of Vietnam at the
National Security Council) arranged a chaos-creating government coup
in Cambodia in March 1970. Generating further resentment, the U.S.
installed Lon Nol who collected millions in U.S. economic aid. He
declared himself Chief of State, Prime Minister and Supreme
Commander of the Armed Forces after he disbanded the Assembly in
October 1971 in order to declare emergency rule. He then permitted
the U.S. to carpet bomb Cambodia.[32] Lon Nol retired to Hawaii on
April 1, 1975 with a half million dollars, compliments of the American
taxpayers.[33] What followed? - Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, the killing
fields, the liquidation of the middle class, famine, the destruction of the
economy and concentration camps.

PART 7
Most puppets are intoxicated with, among other things, their self
importance and the tangible symbols of their bogus authority, like
being commander-in-chief of the military minions who are verbally
manipulated into sacrificing their lives in countries targeted by the
Power Elite. Americans, who have experienced a degree of freedom,
are particularly susceptible to the emotional, "democracy card"
rhetoric against alleged dictators. Understandably, those unfortunate
Americans who have experienced fewer choices are often the very first
individuals to challenge unwarranted military actions against other
vulnerable citizens. They frequently receive lengthy jail sentences for
their views.
Hussein intended to expand oil production! "Iraq alone has the third
largest oil reserves on the planet - accounting for 10% of the world
total. Iraq is also reckoned to have the world's largest unexplored
potential, primarily in the Western Desert." In addition, "Iraq is
estimated to have between 100 and 200 billion barrels of further
possible (as yet undiscovered) reserves."[4] Iraq has "112 billion
proven barrels" and the "second largest reserves in OPEC after Saudi
Arabia." "Iraq has fewer than three thousand operating wells compared
to one million in Texas." Iraq has 74 known fields and only 15 in
production. Iraq has 526 known structures (pools of oil) and only 125
have been drilled.[5]
In the first Gulf War, the Basra oil fields were targeted and deliberately
demolished by American B-52s.[6] That war failed to pressure Hussein
into compliance. Economic sanctions were imposed - hundreds of
thousands died - mostly children. Those sanctions also banned oil
exportation, maintaining OPEC oil prices and quotas. Hussein was
obstinate. Another invasion occurred in March 2003. The U.S. now
occupies Iraq. The Oil Ministry remains the only facility under constant
U.S. military protection. Meanwhile stately libraries and museums,
containing irreplaceable antiquities and Iraq's cultural heritage,
were/are wantonly destroyed.
The major oil companies are represented by the International Tax &
Investment Centre (ITIC), a corporate lobby group established in
1993.[7] A quarter of their 110 sponsors are from the oil industry. Their
Board of Directors hosts representatives from Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips,
ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco.[8] They developed an 84 page plan for
Iraq and its oil in 2004. See it here. This plan was adopted by the State
Department. It entails suppressing oil production, yes suppressing it!
Iraq's oil expansion program is now dead, along with more than a
million Iraqis. The U.S. invasion and occupation has been very effective
in accomplishing Big Oil's financial goals. Iraq produced more oil under
the highly restrictive Oil-for-Food Program than its yield in 2003, 2004
and 2005. This decline in production tripled profits for the five major
U.S. oil companies to $89 billion for a single year, 2005, compared to
pre-invasion 2002. Coincidentally, Big Oil profits increased at the same
time that the oil industry increased contributions to Bush's reelection
campaign, approximately $40 million.[9] Hey, that's how Fascism
works. Politicians do not represent the people, they represent business!
Big business pays for that representation.[10]
Power Elite puppets have never been subtle about their intentions. The
February 1950 New York Times reported: "Indo-China is a prize worth a
large gamble. In the north are exportable tin, tungsten, manganese,
coal, lumber and rice, rubber, tea, pepper, and hides. Even before
World War II, Indo-China yielded dividends estimated at $300 million a
year."[11] "South-East Asia supplied 90% of the world's crude rubber,
60% of its tin and 80% of its copra and coconut oil. It had sizeable
quantities of sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco, sisal, fruits, spices, natural
resins and gums, petroleum, iron ore and bauxite."[12] However,
certain U.S. based Power Elite principles made no profits from any of
this and that was a major problem, especially for the highly
competitive Standard Oil.
On August 4, 1953, Eisenhower revealed reasons for U.S. interest in
Southeast Asia and in the war that France was waging against Viet
Nam by stating: "So, when the United States votes $400 million to help
that war, we are not voting for a giveaway program. We are voting for
the cheapest way that we can to prevent the occurrence of something
that would be of the most terrible significance for the United States of
America - our security, our power and ability to get certain things we
need from the riches of the Indonesian territory, and from Southeast
Asia."[13] What exactly was the Power Elite objective in Viet Nam?
Southeast Asia has oil resources! However, Shell Oil (formerly known
as Royal-Dutch Petroleum), a Standard Oil competitor, had control of
Indonesia's oil resources.[14]
Decades later and two weeks after the official end of the war in 1975,
the U.S. placed punitive economic sanctions against the unified
Democratic Republic of Viet Nam under the Trading With the Enemy
Act. Apparently, even after decades of devastating war, Viet Nam was
not sufficiently cooperative, despite Nobel laureate Kissinger's
"diplomacy." The Power Elite frequently venerate each other with
public praise and ostentatious awards. For confirmation of presidential
candidate Rudy Giuliani's true loyalties, please watch this video. He
may possess the very traits that the Power Elite require of an "elected"
official.
Viet Nam was classified an enemy after Saigon (renamed Ho Chi Minh
City) fell to North Viet Nam troops in April, 1975. That U.S. embargo
banned all trade with the U.S., Britain and the European Community. In
1976 even humanitarian and private aid to Viet Nam was blocked.
Because of U.S. influence, access to international lending agencies, like
the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Asian
Development Bank was blocked.
• Eight million tons of bombs (four times the amount used by the
U.S. in all of World War II) leaving ten million bomb craters[25]
• Operation Linebacker One and Two
• 3.5 million land mines and 300,000 tons of unexploded ordnance.
40,000 people killed since 1975 by landmines and buried
bombs.[26]
• Agent Orange, cluster bombs
• 400,000 tons of napalm, dropped on Vietnamese villages[27]
• " The destruction of infrastructure
• The birth defects and catastrophic illnesses resulting from toxic
chemicals.
• In 1971 alone, 800,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Laos,
Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
• The massacre at My Lai; "Colonel Oran Henderson, who had been
charged with covering up the My Lai killings, told reporters in
early 1971: 'Every unit of brigade size has its My Lai hidden
someplace.'"
PART 8
VIET NAM - DEMOCRATIZED & READY TO PLUNDER
February 6, 2008
Three major oil companies existed from 1910 to 1914: (1) Rockefeller's
Standard Oil with its many veiled subsidiaries; (2) BP (British-Persian
Petroleum Company); (3) and Royal Dutch Shell. John D. Rockefeller
"resolved to take over control of both the British-Persian Petroleum
Company and Royal Dutch Shell."[2] Standard Oil and BP began
merging as early as 1961.[3] Amoco (Standard) merged with BP in
1998. Standard took over BP's leases at Prudhoe Bay giving Standard
control over production (suppression) in Alaska.[4] Standard Oil has the
U.S. monopoly under the names Exxon/Mobil, Chevron and BP.[5] It is
significant that Exxon/Mobil is still appealing the punitive damages
resulting from the March 24, 1989 oil spill. They have fought it all the
way to the "business-friendly" Supreme Court. It is due to be heard
again in the spring of 2008. Twenty percent of the plaintiffs have died
since the suit began. Justice Samuel Alito will recuse himself as he
owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Exxon stock.[6]
The Duri and Minas oil fields, located in the central Sumatran basin,
were discovered just prior to World War II by Caltex, a joint venture
between the American companies Chevron and Texaco (Standard Oil).
Production did not begin until the 1950s. By 1963 the Duri and Minas
oil fields accounted for 50 percent of Indonesia's oil production. Things
changed - Indonesia exercised greater control over its oil resources
during the 1950s and 1960s by escalating the operations of
government-owned oil companies. They also introduced a new contract
- the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) which gave Indonesia more of
the profits after the foreign oil companies recouped their exploration
costs.[10] However, oil company fascists frown upon such things. As a
consequence, resource-rich Indonesia has been plagued by violence
and political corruption.[11]
"Indonesia had proven oil reserves in 1990 equal to 5.14 billion barrels,
with probable reserves of an additional 5.79 billion barrels. Throughout
the area of the South China Sea archipelago, as of 1993 "there were
sixty known basins with oil potential; only thirty-six basins had been
explored and only fourteen were producing. The majority of unexplored
areas were more than 200 meters beneath the surface of the sea."[12]
While Southeast Asia was still under France's ruling thumb, oil-hungry
Japan invaded, occupied, and organized two drilling operations during
World War II - one in southern Laos in 1944 and the other by the city of
Qui Nhon on the South Vietnamese coast which included offshore
drilling from pontoons. The Japanese, like other imperialists, occupied
the archipelago to seize its rich natural resources. Drilling ceased in
1945, especially after the bombing of non-military targets in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki which sent a very clear message.[14]
In 1954, the Borneo (Kalimantan) oil fields were opened.[15] Shell Oil
had been doing some exploratory drilling in Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria,
Trinidad and offshore in British Borneo between 1945 and 1955.
The Power Elite organized and control both The Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) and the United Nations. They use the combined talents
and resources of both organizations to identify, evaluate and measure
the world's resources, including prime real estate, with the objective of
confiscating, privatizing, manipulating, and suppressing them in order
to control the masses and attain ever increasing power and wealth.
The oil monopolist Rockefeller family purchased the land that the
United Nations sits on.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East
(ECAFE), established in 1947, entered the oil exploration business. In
1957, ECAFE "organized a seminar in New Delhi on the development of
petroleum resources.[16] The U.N. sponsored the ECAFE Working Party
of Senior Geologists who met in Bangkok in August 1966.[17] ECAFE
concluded that "rich undersea oil reserves" are a real possibility
despite the unfavorable "geology on land." However, offshore drilling is
expensive and technologically challenging. Therefore, the U.N. would
have to turn that task over to experts - like Standard Oil.
One of the goals of the CCOP was to stimulate the interest of oil
companies - and according to their report: the top priority was Viet
Nam and the Sunda Shelf adjoining that country, a very good reason to
"save it from communism," Of great significance is the CCOP-
coordinated reconnaissance seismic and magnetic profiling survey over
the Sunda Shelf during the summer of 1969 covering the countries of
Borneo (Kalimantan), Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and
Viet Nam - all in the South China Sea.[22] Other countries have also
developed seismic technology.[23] "By the end of 1969, the entire
Sunda Shelf are had been let out in oil concessions except for that off
Viet Nam. The major oil companies had become very interested in the
area, and were willing and prepared to overcome their nervousness
over the unsettled political situation there."[24] The political situation
may have provided a huge distraction.

PART 9
Under Ngo Dinh Diem, South Viet Nam’s U.S. puppet, things ran as
expected for a while. Sure, there was religious persecution, rigged
elections, prohibition of free speech, a managed press and the absence
of liberty for the majority – all made acceptable by Article 98 of Diem’s
amended constitution. Despite the power perks, Diem began to resent
America’s escalating role. Between 1961 and 1963, the U.S. chaos-
creating military presence had engaged in “hundreds of firefights” and
thousands of bombing raids against “Vietcong positions.” This
predictably provoked an angry response from North Viet Nam who
wanted to eliminate the “U.S. imperialists” and the “Ngo Dinh Diem
clique” and reunite the country.[1]
Almost four years after the Ngo assassinations, Nguyen van Thieu
became America’s more obedient puppet president, serving from
September of 1967 until just nine days before North Viet Nam’s
invasion of Saigon in April 1975. He consolidated political power in the
executive branch by seizing authority from congress. During the final
days of the Saigon regime, Graham Martin, U.S. Ambassador to Viet
Nam, micro-managed by Henry Kissinger, convinced Thieu to resign.[3]
Thieu resigned in anger, saying the U.S. had failed to keep its
monetary promises and its commitment to help South Viet Nam fight
for its freedom. He also claimed that Kissinger tricked him into signing
the Paris Peace (January 1973) by promising additional aid.
Attorney Hillary Rodham, along with Fred Thompson, Trent Lott, and
Howard Baker,[5] were on the legal staff of the House Judiciary
Committee during the Watergate fiasco to help prepare articles of
impeachment against Nixon. She landed this job right out of law
school, thanks to Ted Kennedy and Burke Marshall. Allegedly, her legal
procedures were ethically flawed.[6] [7] Later, Bill Clinton took up
residence in the Arkansas Governor’s mansion with the assistance of
the very influential Winthrop Rockefeller, a former governor of
Arkansas.[8]
Mobil Oil and Pecten began exploration drilling in 1975 in the Nam Con
Son and Cuu Long basins and found the largest oil field in the South
China Sea. Nam Con Son is said to contain 20% of Viet Nam’s oil
resources and Cuu Long is said to contain 30% of Viet Nam’s total
hydrocarbon resources.[9] However, all exploration and drilling ended
with the 1975 unification of Vietnam.[10] Mobil Oil Corp. would have to
wait almost twenty years (December 21, 1993) to finalize an
agreement to continue exploiting Viet Nam’s oil in those same offshore
basins.[11] [12]
The new unified government would not honor the paltry concession
agreements previously made with the South Viet Nam puppet
government. On June 3, 1974, the Provisional Revolutionary
Government (PRG) of the Republic of South Viet Nam Foreign Ministry
statement: “The Nguyen Van Thieu administration has no qualifications
and right to represent the South Vietnamese people. All the
agreements between the Nguyen Van Thieu administration with
whatsoever foreign country, whatsoever foreign company or
whatsoever corporation on the exploration and exploitation of natural
resources in South Viet Nam including oil resources are illegal and
unvaluable and completely have no bound on the South Vietnamese
people and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic
of South Viet Nam.”[13]
Up until 1975, North Viet Nam had a state-owned bank – the National
Bank of Vietnam. Commercial facilities were non existent. Foreign trade
was difficult until an import-export bank, advantageously established
in 1989, promoted foreign investment and transactions. Thereafter,
foreign commercial banks were allowed to establish branch offices.[16]
Anxious to attract capital, Viet Nam established very liberal foreign
investment laws. But the bulk of the new business profit ends up in
foreign banks.[17]
After the oil and gas companies infested Viet Nam, opportunists from
all areas of commerce, followed. They came “from banking and
tourism, to consumer goods and heavy machinery.”[33] It may be
similar to the Halliburton bonanza in the Iraq feeding frenzy. In 1996,
the U.S. government made an energy study of every country, like
Herbert Hoover’s original study. You may see it here or as a PDF file.
Privatization, sanctioned by the corporate-controlled U.S. government,
puts the people’s resources into the hands of a few – the Power Elite!
“In 1994, oil made up 27% of Vietnams total exports of US$3.6 billion.
In 1993, annual production of crude oil was 6.3 million tons and
reached 7 million tons in 1994. This ranked Vietnam fourth amongst
crude oil exporting countries in South East Asia, after Indonesia,
Malaysia and Brunei. Since 1988, PetroVietnam has signed 26 PSCs,
including a contract to develop and operate the Big Bear field with a
consortium of foreign companies led by BP Petroleum (Rockefeller) and
a contract with another consortium, which includes Mobil Corporation
(Rockefeller).”[34] As of 2004, “Vietnam was the third-largest oil
producer in Southeast Asia with output of 400,000 barrels per day.
Indonesia is the region's number one producer, followed by
Malaysia.”[35]
At least 270 ships pass through the South China Sea region per day,
including more than half the world’s tanker traffic. Tanker traffic
through the South China Sea is over three times greater than through
the Suez Canal and five times more than through the Panama Canal;
twenty five percent of the world’s crude oil passes through the South
China Sea. “Oil deposits have been found in most of the adjacent
countries of the South China Sea. The South China Sea region has
proven oil reserves estimated at about 7.0 billion barrels, and
estimated oil production of around 2.5 million barrels per day.”[45]
In 2002, Viet Nam was the fifth largest producer of anthracite in the
world, the sixth largest producer of crude petroleum, and one of the
top producers of limonite and zirconium in Asia and the Pacific
region.[46]
“BP and its partners, ConocoPhillips, ONGC Videsh Limited of India, and
PetroVietnam, brought the first phase of the $1.3 billion Nam Con Son
project on stream and delivered the first gas in November 2002. The
project included development of an off shore gas field; construction of
a 399-km pipeline to carry the gas ashore; development of onshore
gas-processing facilities; and construction of the 716-megawatt Phu My
3 power plant, which was expected to come on stream in late
2003.”[47]
That’s war and U.S. foreign policy. Empower third world countries by
selling or giving them armaments. If those country’s leaders prove
uncooperative, vilify and invade them under false pretenses; give no-
bid contracts to “friends” to build permanent military bases to protect
the energy resources in the surrounding area.[49] There are 702
American military bases worldwide which are justifiably the target of a
growing anti-war movement.[50] This full-spectrum dominance
strategy (total control of any situation), used for decades, was formally
laid out in Joint Vision 2020, released May 30, 2000 and signed by the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Henry Shelton.[51]
That is what “America’s War in Viet Nam” was all about!
