The fear in both the GOP and Democratic party is visible at the surface when it comes to Trump, and it's not that he's any of what they've accused him of. No, it's really much simpler than that, and both Republican and Democrat parties, along with the mainstream media, are utterly terrified that you, the average American, is going to figure out what underlies all of these institutions in America.
No, it's not that they're evil.
It's worse, for evil frequently is recognized and fought back yet for decades America has not awakened to what has been going on in the political and media establishment. It was evident during the Vietnam war and has only gotten worse since.
For those who don't recall the Tet Offensive was an attack launched by the NVA and VietCong by some 70,000 troops in a coordinated series of attacks across more than 100 targets. It was an attempt to foment rebellion among the South's population.
Tet failed in its military objective, in that there were too few troops spread too thinly, and once the US and South Vietnamese figured out what was going on they literally slaughtered a huge number of the attackers. To put perspective on this at the Battle of Hue roughly 500 US Marines and South Vietnamese were killed but over 5,000 NVA and VietCong died in that one battle alone.
The story was repeated through the country; while the North managed to attack they lost virtually the entire attacking force, while not managing to take one mile of territory. They also failed to incite rebellion, which was the primary goal of the offensive in the first place.
Our media, however, reported that we lost. They were present and they lied, including Walter Cronkite. Cronkite reported in February of 1968 that the war "was a stalemate and probably unwinnable" despite knowing that the NVA had virtually been rendered soldierless in the Tet offensive as their casualty rate ran ten times the South's.
Tet was a desperation move; the North was in serious trouble.
They were failing to take territory and losing men and material at an ridiculous rate compared to the Americans and South. Simply put we were the better fighting force and it wasn't a close call. In the first few days of their "offensive" they lost ten
thousand men against about 750 on the other side and it just got worse from there with total losses on their side being close to 50,000, or virtually all of their remaining fighting-age force.
Cronkite didn't care about the truth. He wasn't evil, he was indifferent. He didn't give a damn about the fact that a totalitarian government was being handed a victory over millions of citizens, he simply wanted to make a further name for himself and push his political agenda.

i understand from recent reading that cronkite was his own one man fifth column.
ReplyDeletehave you heard that? is it true?
Yes, I have heard that and little did I suspect this in any way when I was there. Sad, sad, sad. He was a traitor and his memory should be treated so, of course today we have traitors ad infinitum in these states and there ain't but one way to get out of or attempt such.
DeleteMy father about blew a gasket listening to Cronkite's nightly news hammering the US involvement in Vietnam. Dear Walt did it in such a way that few realized what a lowdown traitor he was, but my dad figured him out early on.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I don't remember you mentioning that before. A far smarter man than I, for sure. How long did your mother live after him?
DeleteCronkite was an admitted communist.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned the Vietnam War was another
inside job like 911. The Gulf of Tonkin incident
never happened. They made it up to gain entry into a
war. The scum use people as a sewer for their lust.
The first attack was valid, but not the second and there was confusion concerning it. Thanks.
DeleteThe first attack seemed to be justified by North Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteAntagonizing operations. But, you would know more than I.
The day before the first incident, Hanoi had protested the attacks on its territory by Laotian aircraft and South Vietnamese gunboats."
What's more, "It was generally known...that `covert' operations against North Vietnam, carried out by South Vietnamese forces with U.S. support and direction, had been going on for some time." From the book "The Uncensored War"
Thanks for all you do and love the larger print.
love the larger print.
DeleteNo one mentioned it before, so I went back to the regular, but will reverse again. :) Wish I knew how to have it done automatically each time though.
