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.

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...

Reality Check

  This video is straightforward. There is no dancing around the bush. If you’re offended by profanity, don’t watch it.  Trump’s Certification Let’s start there. This should show people that the event in 2021 was staged chaos—nothing more. Since 2001, spontaneous access to federal government buildings has been a thing of the past. It simply doesn’t happen now.  Canada to be the 51 st state.  Have you people lost your minds? You don’t want to be the 51 st state. You will lose everything that makes Canada unique—mainly your healthcare system. Stay independent from America. Civil War in America. Here’s where the plain simple talking or Reality check comes in. NO FUCKING WAY! It’s simply not possible. There are a variety of things that must happen for a war to happen.  Common Enemy. A group of people must agree on a common enemy. We can’t even agree on how to cook pasta. There’s been a carefully created division among Americans. It’s been maintained for decades. Eac...

Who Gets To Run For Office?

  Have you ever wondered why some people in America are eligible to run for an office like the Senate or President, but others who might be more qualified are not ? I have been wondering about this. Let’s first examine the cost of running for a national office. Before we get started, let's look at what the base cost was to run for an office in 1915, right before the Federal Reserve was established.  The Senate seat was $2k up to but not exceeding $10k.  Presidential $5k to $10k. You see the difference. The average American could afford to run before the Federal Reserve was established.  The most expensive state: Texas is hands down the most expensive state. Coming it at  $199,959,917. This is insane. It takes almost two million dollars to run for a Senate seat in Texas.  The least expensive state was a surprise, considering what it’s known for: Nevada. Yes, the state with the highest concentration of casinos and legalized brothels is the least expensive to...
