THE VIETNAM
CONQUEST
As the communists moved forward with their plan for world domination,
Southeast Asia was to be the next target. In July, 1954, Indo-China
fell. William Zane Foster, Chairman of the U.S. Communist Party, said in
February, 1956, that they "constitute the beginning of a new socialist
world."
They moved on to Vietnam, where the U.S. was pulled into a conflict,
which was to become the longest in U.S. history. American intervention
actually began in 1954 with economic and technical assistance, after the
Geneva Accords ended the Indo-Chinese War.
Kennedy increased the military budget, and escalated the War just for
the purposes of impressing the Russians after being embarrassed and
humiliated by the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Later, Kennedy
planned to begin scaling back.
Vietnam escalated into a major war by 1964, with casualties peaking in
1969.
In 1964, with a possibility that ultra-conservative Barry Goldwater
might win the presidency, a coalition of liberal forces, under the
guidance of Illuminati advisors, worked for the election of former Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had taken over after Kennedy's
assassination in 1963. Johnson was urged to pursue "peace at any price,"
but the Illuminati didn't want peace, and Johnson further escalated the
War. At the height of the war, there were about 543,000 American
soldiers in Vietnam.
On July 25, 1965, President Johnson told an American television audience
that the military build-up was to administer "death and desolation" to
the communists, yet he made agreements to provide the Soviet Union, and
her communist satellite countries, with millions of dollars worth of
food, computers, industrial plants, oil refinery equipment, jet engines,
military rifles, and machine tools for an $800 million automobile
production facility. At the same time, our Supreme Court ruled that
communists could teach in our schools, and work in our defense plants;
and the Senate and State Department allowed them to open diplomatic
offices in major American cities, even though FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover warned that their embassies were part of an espionage network.
Johnson's war policies severely damaged his chances for re-election, and
he was forced to drop out of the 1968 Primary race.
In 1966, after Averill Harriman had made a 22-day, 12 nation peace tour
for Johnson, he was asked by a television reporter how the Russians felt
about the Vietnam War, and Harriman said they were "embarrassed by the
war. They don't like it and they would like to see it stopped." A
brilliant piece of propaganda, considering the fact that the Russians
were shipping guns, ammunition, missiles, and MiG fighters to the North
Vietnamese.
In 1968, the Congress increased 'foreign aid' of war materials to
communist bloc countries by over 80% from the previous year, and this
'aid' was then redirected by railroad, to North Vietnam, who used it to
manufacture military equipment.
A peace treaty was signed on January 23, 1973, by the U.S., North and
South Vietnam, and the Vietcong (National Liberation Front, later
referred to as the Provisional Revolutionary Government). The treaty
specified that the Vietcong was to have equal recognition with the South
Vietnamese capital of Saigon. Thieu agreed to sign after Nixon and
Kissinger promised that the U.S. would "respond vigorously" to any
Communist violations of the agreement.
The cease-fire didn't hold, and after the American pullout, which left
over $5 billion worth of military equipment, the communists were given a
free hand in Southeast Asia. On April 30, 1975, the government of South
Vietnam fell to the communist regime, and on July 2, 1976, the country
of Vietnam was officially unified as a Communist state.
It is estimated that 57,000 Americans died during the Vietnam conflict.
