Vietnam: Lessons in a Prison

 This chapter touched me deeper than any of the others had. Deeper than Chapter 38. Why? What was so special about this chapter compared to others? My late father served there after he graduated from Green Berets school. He was the first of many generations. He used to tell me about some of the horrors that happened there. He wasn't involved with Hanoi Hilton and the horrible stuff that happened there. He didn't talk about it. What he did tell me was bad enough. 


John went to Vietnam in 2012. The Vietnam conflict had been a part of John's life. He joined the Peace Corps to avoid the draft. While there he met a lady named Judy. The conflict had been a part of her life as well. After a speech they both gave, they decided to tour Hoa Lo aka Hanoi Hilton. 


Hoa Lo was built in the 1800s. 

This particular realm of hell was used by the French while they were trying to bring Catholicism to the nonbelievers in Vietnam. Truthfully, they were sent there to exploit the opium, tea, and other goods in Vietnam. Business as usual while using and disgracing Jesus Christ. Again business as usual for oligarchs. 


John and Judy found the museum had closed for the day. But luck shined on them or so they thought. There was a gentleman there who took their fee and guided them through. What they found was worse than they ever could have imagined. Think 

Abu Ghraib in Iraq. This is the level of inhumanity we're talking about. After American troops were driven out of Vietnam in disgrace, Nixon, President at the time, ordered the worst bombing of Vietnam since the whole debacle started. Bombs destroyed everything. Military and civilian infrastructure. They even bomb temples. Disgusting. That was never revealed. Nixon went on camera saying 'We will bomb them back to the stone ages.' That wasn't a joke. By the time this happened. My late parents were married and they had me. It was becoming clear that the napalm and Agent Orange were going to affect our lives forever. It changed the lives of many Vietnam vets. Both American and Vietnamese. They continue to live with the damage to this day.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...
