Let's see if we can do a sound check here. I need to get my chat up. There's my chat. Oh, there it is. We can hear you loud and clear. Awesome. Okay, pull this down just a little bit. There we go. I need to make this big so I can see all my chat. Okay, we got a couple minutes. What is the time? One minute. Wow, it's been a crazy couple days, huh?
1:45
That's what you get when you step out in the arena. Things get very interesting. So anyway, glad everyone is here. Hope you enjoy this segment. We're on Chapter 9 of The Empire on Which the Black Sun Never Set. And it's an oldie but goodie. It's talking about Vietnam. And it gives you a completely different.
2:19
view of Vietnam in general. Most of this I knew. There were a couple of pieces in it that I didn't. And I will share throughout this segment because I've been to Vietnam. I've been to Laos. I've been to Cambodia, Thailand, not for extended period of time, but I have visited the highlights. I'll just say that.
2:53
So I'll be able to put a little bit of context with this. So Chapter 9 deals with the U.S. pivot to Asia, the Cold War lessons from Vietnam for today. And it starts off with quoting the book that Colonel Fletcher Prouty wrote called JFK, the CIA, Vietnam and the plot to assassinate JFK. And in it.
3:18
He is saying the CIA was used to instigate psyops and paramilitary activities in Vietnam to create the pretext required for an Oakland declaration of war and for the entry of the U.S. military into a 20 year long meat grinder, which, of course, that's true. Colonel Prouty, for anyone who's just coming in, was a liaison between the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Kennedy.
3:48
He's an Air Force colonel with the CIA. This strategy was not just reserved for Vietnam, although that's the area, and I will make a couple of comparisons as we go through. General U.S. foreign policy in all regions that were considered threats to the American foreign interest within the Cold War grand strategy, as seen under the dictatorship of Dulles Brothers.
4:17
is what they used for an excuse is basically what they're talking about. Anything that ran contrary to the New World Order instituting basically international fascism was going to be rectified using U.S. military and CIA assets. Any country that held views that were not aligned with would not simply be.
4:46
invaded in most scenarios but rather the ground would need to be prepared to create the justification for direct military invasion and Colonel Prouty's words was fake it till you make it and basically that's what they did they set up the situation and in Vietnam it is just so clear once you understand what they were doing that that's exactly what they did don't have an actual enemy yet well they just create it
5:18
So just split your paramilitary teams into good guys and bad guys and you just make them pretend like they're fighting for the VIPs and that the opposing forces are extremely dangerous and made up of extremists. Kind of like January 6th, right? If you don't have the extremists, you make them and you dress them up as if they're the enemy. How this tactic...
5:48
was also used in the Philippines, resulting in the election of Remo Masasa, who was declared a hero against a non-existent enemy. In fact, the Filipino elite units were also trained by the CIA during the same period and were brought into Vietnam to enact the very same tactics. Crowdy is quoted as saying, I have been to such training programs,
6:20
They are held on U.S. military bases where identical tactics are taught to the Americans as well as the foreigners. He goes on to say that basically CIA super agent Edward Lansdell, the man in charge of the CIA Saigon military mission, his same men were used in the Philippines and in Indochina.
6:49
bring them here, they train them, and then they let them loose on innocent civilians. And these tactics has been used as basically clandestine warfare. Such mock battles and mock attacks on native villages were staged countless times in Indochina for the benefit of visiting dignitaries such as John McCone, who is the CIA director that replaced Alan Dulles.
7:20
When Kennedy fired him. So if you had congressional delegations or anybody, if they wanted to make them think that there was an enemy, they would just dress up like the enemy and pretend. It was actually CIA trained agents play acting as if they were the Viet Cong. It appear to make it appear that the Viet Cong were not only numerous, but extremely hostile. Dignitaries can be fooled.
7:54
by such things unfolding right in front of their very eyes. It is really a wonder that the Western audience watching or reading about these affairs going on in the world through the mainstream media interpreters would know the difference. They don't. It's staged reality. And that's what you actually have to start applying those filters to what we're seeing today. Staged reality. You have no idea. You can see.
8:23
footage of a bomb being launched and actually landing. You have no idea if that happened in Israel. You have no idea if it happened in Gaza Strip. You have no idea if it happened 10 years ago in Iraq. You just don't know. And you also know that the media lies to you every single day. So not only do you not know who the good guys and bad guys are, you don't know.
8:53
If anything the media is telling you is true, you don't know if anything the government's telling you is true. You simply don't know. Right, Julie? They used video game footage and pretended it was a real pilot. So my main purpose in going through this particular part of this as in-depth as we're going to is because I want you all to understand they've done it before.
9:23
They've done it multiple times before. And you cannot believe what is in front of your eyes, because if I can travel to a foreign country and not know the difference between the good guys and bad guys, you certainly can't tell it on television. So not only were there lines between military and paramilitary operations becoming blurred.
9:54
The highest ranking officers who were operating and overseeing the Vietnam situation were all CIA operatives. They may have been dressed up in military uniforms. They were all CIA operatives. The U.S. ambassador at the time to South Vietnam was Henry Cabot Lodge. Very interesting guy. Prouty mentions him in his book, quoted as saying.
10:25
Lodge had since 1945 been one of the most important agents of the OSS and later the CIA in the Far East. His orders came directly from the agency. So another point that will come up here, excuse me, is that the people that ran the CIA type covert actions before the CIA existed.
10:57
didn't just start happening. It's been happening for a long time, even before 1947, 48 timeframe, when it was officially the CIA, because it was done by the same guy. Hold on. Sorry about that. I don't know what that does to my computer when that happens, but my daughter's trying to call and it come in on my computer thing too. And my picture just went, it was gone. So anyway, the,
11:32
CIA Frank Wisner, W-I-S-N-E-R, was in charge of the covert operations, and they were done via the State Department even before. That was during the World War II. So the CIA isn't the beginning of it. Just want to make that clear. So Lodge was best friends with Teddy Roosevelt growing up.
11:59
He was brought into the role as ambassador August 26, 1963, specifically to remove, let's see, I wrote that down, Ngo Dinh Dinh, president of the Republic of Vietnam, South Vietnam, who was seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict at that point. He was killed two months later after Lodge got into the theater, along with his brother. They were assassinated.
12:32
And they were assassinated because they were not going along with their script. So Lodge basically came in to create the coup. Another author, Kruger, writes, Indochina remained Cohen's, C-O-N-I, excuse me, E-I-N's base of operations after World War II and became the top U.S. expert on the area.
13:04
As soon as the opium smuggling, in parentheses, Corsian mafia, he was Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's middleman in 1963 plot to overthrow the Vietnamese president. And we just talked about him being assassinated. So what's going to be, and it goes on to say a decade later, Cohen and E. Howard Hunt would be working for the Nixon administration plumbers.
13:34
and would attempt to make it appear as if the plot had been a JFK-ordered scenario, which, of course, we know it wasn't because JFK had already wrote in national security memorandum saying he was pulling everybody out. But what's very interesting about the note, and we'll talk about it a couple of times here, but I want to call it out at the beginning so you can see the context. Now, you remember what we were talking about the other day. The Corsean Mafia, i.e. French.
14:04
had a big lab under a pharmaceutical company in Marseille. And all of the opium that was coming out of Asia, to include China, was controlled by the Corsean mafia. And it went through that lab and then on to its final destinations. What's really interesting is this entire play of the French losing in Vietnam. This is the bottom line up front.
14:33
was basically just a taking over of their networks by the CIA because they're going to do the whole stay behind Gladio. They got to have money. And in order to have the money, they have to control the drug trade. So you have basically, to include our presidents and Nixon primarily, they took over the Vietnamese Indochina drug trade and through...
15:03
overthrew the French's monopoly on it. That's what we're seeing in Vietnam. That's how France ends up losing. Because think about that. And again, we have NATO now, right? We've not been threatened in Vietnam. There's no reason for us to be in Vietnam at all. We just got out of a war.
15:34
world war you know we're all at peace now and you have nato and you have the french in and so supposedly we're going to help the french but the french wasn't attacked they attacked vietnam and we go in to help but you'll find out we didn't help them they end up getting their butt kicked and they leave and we take over the entire drug trade that's vietnam in a nutshell so
16:05
We go on, Eisenhower-Nixon victory. And keep in mind, in 1952, so we have 1947-48 is when you have NATO, you have the CIA, you have all of that. Eisenhower becomes president in 1952 with Nixon as his vice president. Keep that in the back of your mind because it's very important.
16:34
The culmination of years of political strategizing by Wall Street Republican power brokers, the new heads of the State Department and the CIA were selected as none other than John Foster Dulles as State Department and Alan Dulles as the CIA. They would be directing the global operations of the most powerful nation on Earth. So from April 12th, 1945, you have the first stages of.
17:09
what the author identifies as the coup on America. We all know that she favors FDR because my argument would be the coup started when FDR, I mean, it started in the late 1800s, but in earnest, it started with FDR's New Deal and the National Recovery Act, which was later found unconstitutional.
17:35
It basically began the creation of us transferring to a fascist state where we have no rights. And each one of these military slash CIA operations further erodes our rights, whether it's like Obama droning a U.S. citizen in a foreign country. Every single one of these CIA operations is to put another notch in the deletion of our freedoms.
18:04
That's what they're all about. And the first time in history after World War II with the National Security Act, we created a standing army. Never in the history of the United States had we ever had a standing army. Well, you know what happens when you have a standing army? You will always have a war because the only way a standing army justifies its budget is if it's using it, not portraying, using it.
18:34
There has to be a scare. There has to be a reason why you have a standing army. And there's a reason why in our Constitution, we did not have a standing army. We relied solely on militia to be called up when the need arrives. Because you know what happens when you have to call up in a militia? It affects every single citizen in the United States. It isn't some poor kid like me.
19:01
who enlisted because the only way I could get a college education was enlisting in the United States military. And it's only one of me from my high school. And so if I go someplace and get killed, the numbers aren't nearly as overwhelming as if you call up entire guard and reserve units that are not on active duty 24-7. And you have decimated. And we saw that after 9-11 when we were trying to call.
19:31
fire units and police units out of cities because we were decimating their entire fire department. And there was a lot of pushback. And any time that that happens, that's how you know that your citizens are supporting the war effort. And that's very important. And them creating a standing army was an end run around all of that.
20:04
The author goes on and talks about the new legislation because anytime we do something like this, we also have to have new legislation. After when Truman came in, they reorganized all of the military or the department of the U.S. government altogether. So it was kind of mass confusion, if you will. The National Security Act of 1947 ended up being a Trojan horse.
20:35
and was one of the new breeds of legislation that led to the creation of the CIA, the National Security Council. It did not specifically authorize the CIA to conduct covert operations, but it was the foot in the door. And then they created the National Security Memorandums and additions that then authorized the clandestine paramilitary.
21:05
It also said that they couldn't like duplicate military. So if they needed to go somewhere, they needed to rely on the military. And that was to their liking, although we know that wasn't exactly what happened because they used the stay behind human trafficking, drug trafficking and weapon trafficking money to buy their own airlines and set up fake companies.
21:32
According to the way they're supposed to operate, they were supposed to rely on the military who has very specific guidelines on what they can and can't do. But of course, with being the CIA, they found a workaround to that too. And keep in mind that originally it was set up only to gather intelligence, not to do the cloak and dagger operations that came afterwards. But it's like anything. It's like the Patriot Act. It gets the foot in the door.
22:03
And then they unleashed the monster. So the Cold War narrative was so imperative in order to create a paranoid schizophrenic nightmare of communism. And we already explained how that whole thing was set up. Thought that the world would never be at peace until a significant portion of it was wiped out, which is kind of ironic, right? You've got to kill all the communists before you can have peace.
22:33
So we now have an enemy identified and it's basically underdefined and invisible to the eye, kind of like patriots, right, with the current situation. They ill-define what's a racist. They ill-define what's a domestic terrorist. And then they mobilize the forces to go after this ill-defined target.
23:00
which allows them to bring the full weight of the government into being. So the author calls it a shapeshifter. It could take any form, including your neighbor, your colleague, your partner. It sounds like today could always, any of those people could always be the enemy because there would always be people who would resist the envisioned new world order. And that's the reason why it has to remain vague.
23:28
She goes on and talks about the different national security memorandums and that we've already went over that. Also talked about the renegade operation of Allen Dulles partnered with Frank Wisner, who he's basically in charge of what they refer to as the policy area of the CIA, which has nothing to do. It's the operational arm of the covert actions.
23:59
On September 2nd, 1945, Ho Chi Minh signed a declaration of independence for a new nation, the Democrat Republic of Vietnam. He's quoted as saying, a people who has courageously opposed French domination for more than 80 years, a people who have fought side by side with the allies, which they did, we talked about it, against the fascists during these last years, such a people must be free and independent.
24:28
Ho Chi Minh had been leading the nationalist Viet Minh independence movement since 1941 against colonial rule at that point by Japan. Japan had basically came and roosted on Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh viewed the war against the fascist as a line to a war against imperialism. And he took a stand against tyranny.
25:02
Much different than what we've been told about them. The world would have to be organized according to the recognition and respect of independent nation states along the lines of what we thought was America's post-war vision. After a long and horrific battle against the ruthless Japanese fascist with support during the war from the United States and China. Yes, China and the United States helped Vietnam.
25:35
the entire Vietnam, fight against the Japanese. We supplied them arms and everything. Ho Chi Minh thought they would return to the former days of peace before the Japanese squatting. He thought they were going to experience a newfound independence from colonial rule. The Japanese had surrendered and were leaving. The French had been defeated by the Japanese and would not return, or so they thought.
26:12
Valmen, now we're into Asian names. Valmen Gep, Ho Chi Minh's brilliant military commander, while serving as Minister of the Interior of the Provisional Government, delivered a speech describing the United States as a good friend of Viet Minh. Ho Chi Minh had been supplied with a tremendous stock of military equipment from the U.S. and he expected to be able to administer his new government in Vietnam.
26:42
without any further opposition. But on September 23, 1945, just a couple of weeks after the Democratic Republic of Vietnam had issued their Declaration of Independence, a group of former French troops, acting with the consent of the British forces, who had been given jurisdiction of the area at Potsdam Conference, armed with Japanese weapons they had stole from stockpiles, staged a coup and seized control of Saigon.
27:13
in South Vietnam. By January 1946, the French had assumed all military commitments in Vietnam and reinstalled a French government in the South. The removal of the French presence in Indochina was no small feat, since it was not only their military presence that had been dealt with, but also the business interests, including French banks, among the most powerful in Asia.
27:43
colonial presence in Indochina since 1787. That's crazy. Negotiations between the French and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam began early in 1946. Ho Chi Minh actually traveled to Paris but failed to make a deal because French just basically weren't going to leave because it was a source of opium for them. The French-Indochina war broke out in 1946 and it went on for eight years.
28:16
So you have the Vietnam had French squatting on it since 1787. The Japanese came in, then the French comes back, and then we come in. Gotta have that opium. So the France's war was largely funded and supplied out of U.S. and other NATO forces. In 1949, Valdez, the former emperor,
28:49
who spent most of his time in the lap of luxury in Paris, France, he's the former emperor of the Vietnam area, was set up by a foreign interest to be a puppet government in the state of Vietnam, i.e. South Vietnam. So by May of 1950, Secretary of State Dean Atkinson announced that the U.S. would give both of the economic and military aid to France and the state of Vietnam
29:20
the former partner, Ho Chi Minh. The value of this assistance surpassed $3 billion, and this is 1950. There was never any official reason why the U.S. changed its allegiance from Ho Chi Minh to the French colonial interests, but of course they screamed communist, which he was not. He was a nationalist. He believed that Vietnam should be independent of imperial interests, and for that,
29:53
you get a war. It was his nationalism that could not be tolerated in this area. MI6 and the CIA staged a coup against the beloved nationalist Mossadegh in Iran, just like they're doing here. You're not allowed to be a nationalist in the world. You have to be under the control of the new world order. Non-communists who held
30:26
So they're talking about the guy in Iran, not a communist, had a PhD in law and had been educated in many of the countries that later tried to take issue with him. And it's basically just another way of them inserting themselves when people don't do what the New World Order wants them to. So Ho Chi Minh was now regarded.
31:00
Ho Chi Minh was now regarded as an enemy under the revamped U.S. foreign policy because he's a communist. Actually, he's just against the imperial New World Order. So we set up a Saigon military mission under President Eisenhower. I got to tell you, all of this investigation and research has really soured me on Eisenhower. He was just truly either a dunce or complicit.
31:33
to let all this crap go on in his administration. January 14th, 1954, six days after the president's statement against entry of the U.S. armed forces in Indochina, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles says, and I quote, despite everything that we do, there remains a possibility that the French position in Indochina will collapse. If this happens,
32:03
and the French were thrown out, it would, of course, become the responsibility of the victorious Viet Minh to set up a government and maintain order in Vietnam. I do not believe that it is contingent. In this contingency, this country, the U.S., could simply say, too bad, we're licked, and that's the end of it. Thus, John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State,
32:34
has already planted the flag that we're going in. It was understood, and it's kind of like pre-programming, it was understood that the U.S. would not engage in open warfare against the Viet Minh. However, it would carry out clandestine operations against Ho Chi Minh. And January 14, 1954, National Security Council meeting, quote, agreed that the director of CIA, Alan Dulles,
33:07
in collaboration with other appropriate departments and agencies, would develop plans, as suggested by the Secretary of State, his brother, for certain contingencies in Indochina. And just like that, it's done. So basically, the Vietnam War starts, and our involvement in it, with the Dulles brothers. Alan Dulles selected Colonel Lansdell to head the team that was going to deploy to Vietnam.
33:42
to raise hell. Edward Lansdell, chief of the military Saigon mission. So we've got the defeat of the French, and then we have the purpose of the covert mission for us was basically to conduct psychological warfare and paramilitary activities in South Vietnam. Prouty writes, quote, it was not a military mission in the conventional sense, as the secretary of state had said.
34:16
It was a CIA organization with a clandestine mission designed to quote-unquote raise hell. With guerrilla operations everywhere in Indochina, a skilled terrorist organization capable of carrying out its sinister role in accordance with the grand strategy of the Cold War years. With this action, the CIA established the Saigon military mission in Vietnam, and it was not often in Saigon. It was...
34:46
not military, and it worked with anti-Vietnamese, Indo-Chinese, and it didn't work with the French. The CIA unit was not going to win the war for the French. As we learned the hard way later on, it was not going to win the war for the South Vietnam either, but it wasn't supposed to. It's there to protect the poppy fields. That's why we were there.
35:22
Prouty goes on and talks about the, or excuse me, Daniel Genser, who wrote NATO Secret Armies, another book about Gladio, talks about the U.S. Green Berets' genocidal role in the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia after contact had been established by Ray Klein, a senior CIA agent and special advisor to U.S. President Reagan later on.
35:51
When the Iran-Contra scandal got underway in 1983, Reagan, fearing another unpleasant exposure, asked British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to take over, who sent SAS, Special Air Service Military, which is basically their special forces, to train Pol Pot's forces. We were training the communists, and there is no argument that Pol Pot was a communist.
36:23
We first went to Thailand in 1984. Senior officers of the SAS would later testify. The Yanks and us worked together. We're close, like brothers. We didn't like it any more than they did. We trained the Khmer Rouge in a lot of technical stuff. At first, we wanted to go into the villages and just chop people up. We told them to go easy, but they still did it.
36:49
A lot of us would change sides given half a chance. That's how pissed off we were. We hate being mixed up with Pol Pot. I tell you, we are soldiers, not child murderers. But Pol Pot was a child murderer. And because they bring this up in the book, I do want to tell you, and I think I mentioned it in an earlier segment, part of our trip when I was in the military to Cambodia was going to the killing fields.
37:21
walking through the mass graves, that whole pot. And here's what's interesting and what the people today don't understand. At the time, the citizens of Cambodia were told, because of what was going on in Vietnam, that they had to leave their homes because the U.S. forces were coming to that town to bomb them. So the government tells them that,
37:52
The U.S. is the boogeyman and they're going to come to their town and bomb their town. So you all have to leave. They segregated out the people and told them that and they segregated it out by how much you knew to include if you wore glasses, they knew you read. So they segregated people out and they told people, hey, you need to go a mile this way and dig in a trench because that's where we're going to hide.
38:23
Well, they dug a trench and then they put everybody in it and killed them and then buried them. That's the killing fields. And when you walk through the killing fields today, I was there almost 20 years ago to the day. There is arms. There is all kinds of body parts that stick out because of the erosion from these mass graves.
38:57
And because over time the ground has sunk that had been dug out, the non-dugout areas are like walking paths. And you can look across that open pit and see pieces of clothing and pieces of bones sticking out. And I want to paint this picture because this, if we don't stop it, is what's coming to America. This is what these people do.
39:27
They know they were doing it and they helped train them to do it. They gave them the tactics. These people exist in our CIA. They have these massive big like oak trees there. Those were called the baby trees. They took babies and slammed them up against these trees and littered around under these trees are tiny fractured baby bones. And that's not even the half of it. They went into every.
39:58
government building, primarily schoolhouses where they educated people because the educated people were the first to be killed. So they put Constantina wire around schools. So there's one way in and one way out. If you can remember like in the 1950s where you had classrooms and then you had like an open air, they were like two stories and they had an open air walkway that went into all of the different classrooms.
40:27
It's an L-shaped school, the one we visited. They had put up Constantine wire so that what was open to go out into a courtyard was completely walled off by razor wire. So you could only go in down here. And each classroom was a killing room. And when you went into the classroom, which we did, there's still today blood splattered everywhere in that classroom. And on the chalkboard.
40:57
was a notch for how many people were murdered in that room. That's how diabolical these people are. So at the end of the classroom, the whole wing down there had been turned into a museum. And one of the guys that was basically like a custodian, if you will, for his, when this was all over, and because the care.
41:29
Khmer Rouge was there for decades after it. But when the mass murder was over, this guy for therapy started drawing. And the entire end of the school is art that this man has drawn, recreating the scenes in those rooms that he had to go into.
41:57
That is another thing that once you see, you can never unsee the evilness. And that's why whenever somebody, I see somebody talking about, yeah, it's fine if they kill MAGA people. It's fine if they kill people that wouldn't take the COVID vaccine. Sure, that might be the first wave. It will not be the last wave. And there will be a wave with you in it because that's how these people operate.
42:27
And when they get to the wave with those people in it, those are your soy drinking, non gun toting idiots. We'll all be dead. So you go ahead and wish us the worst. We're the only thing that's going to save you. That's my rant. So we've got the Saigon mission going on. January 1954 CIA activities in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, such as the white cloud teams.
43:02
are there even before 1954. Members of the Saigon military mission had participated in these activities much earlier than 1945, but that's when we know the military mission started. Lansdell's listed as an Air Force colonel, as I mentioned before, but that's a ploy. He would be in Vietnam, the Philippines, and he exploited the cover of a U.S. Air Force military officer.
43:31
while assigned to the Military Assistance Advisory Group, but in fact, he was a CIA agent. Ho Chi Minh's defeat of the French in 1954 at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, ending the first Indochina War, it just was not going to be his last one. So they would oust a guy by the name of Bay Day. It's B-A-O-D-A-I.
44:03
in a rigged referendum vote in 1955. And that's when they installed the now then them as the South Vietnam president. We should take note that the South Vietnam, otherwise known as Cochinchina. So, and this is very important. Cochinchina is the Southern part of Vietnam.
44:40
It had been referred to that, not South Vietnam, for centuries. And it was very distinctly different than North Vietnam. It had never had a real form of government. It had never been a nation. Its existence was ancient villages for centuries with very little changing. There was no Congress. There was no police. There was no tax system. It had no function as a nation at all.
45:13
was nothing but a facade, a complete made-up lie. Diem's Republic of Vietnam was treated as if it was a member of the family of nations, because we were lied to. It could not stand on its own two feet. It could not respond to a crisis. The Vietnam War, as it's understood today, was full of oversight. But perhaps the most serious oversight is...
45:45
that not one of the six U.S. administrations who oversaw the Vietnam War ever stated a positive American objective for the war. It was always to stop the spread of communism. And we've already established that Ho Chi Minh was not a communist. He was a nationalist. He would have been the one stopping communism because he had a border with China, not South Vietnam.

It was never about stopping communism. Saigon military mission was sent to Vietnam to preside over the disillusionment of the French, the disillusion, wow, dissolving the French colonial power. The Dulles brothers knew that they would be creating a new Vietnamese government that would be neither French nor Viet Minh, and that this new government would be the base for continuing a decade-old war in Indochina.
46:49
And that was their military objective because they needed the poppy to fund all of the rest of their activities. Defeat of the French resulted in a Geneva Accord in July 1954. The 17th parallel became a temporary demarcation line separating military forces of the French and the Viet Minh. Within 300 days of the signing of this accord, a DMZ had been created. Now, it also included a provision.
47:21
that you could transfer any civilians who wish to leave either side. Ho Chi Minh and all Northern Vietnamese believed the nation to be one. They did not want a division of their country. The closing article of the Geneva Agreement, number 14, quote, any civilians residing in a district controlled by one party who wish to go and live in the zone assigned to another party shall be permitted and helped to do so.
47:53
by the authorities in that district. The ominous meaning of this was concealed under the guise of a humanitarian effort, peaceful and humane transfer. So basically, what we're going to see is the uprooting of people who had lived all of their lives, centuries, their family, in settled villages by at least over a million. The people of the world,
48:28
most of whom had no knowledge of anything going on in Vietnam, were led to believe that this offer was the most compassionate thing we could have done. The planners of this sinister plot were certain that the people of the world would never learn the truth, that the movement of over a million North Vietnamese was really intended to be the kindling to set the country ablaze. And it was also essential
48:59
for America to get directly involved. The mass exodus of North Vietnamese to South Vietnam would be orchestrated by the Saigon military mission. It was a terrible upheaval of these people, but it was sold to the West as if they were fleeing from Ho Chi Minh, which they were not doing. What they were fleeing from is the CIA efforts to create psychological warfare
49:30
using paramilitary tactics on these innocent civilians. They unleashed in small northern villages all kinds of propaganda, and we found out about this in the release of the Pentagon Papers. Leaders in the Saigon military mission wrote that they had carried out unconventional warfare, paramilitary operations, political and psychological warfare.
50:01
and rumor campaigns set up for psyops and became agent provocateurs. Prouty is quoted as saying this movement of Catholics, because that's what these people were labeled as, they were labeled as Catholics who didn't want to be under the atheist control of communism. From the north provinces of Vietnam to the south under the provisions of the Geneva Agreement,
50:32
became the most important activity of the Saigon military mission and one of the root causes of the Vietnam War. The terrible burden these 1,100,000 destitute strangers imposed upon the equally poor natives of the South created pressure on the country and Dem's administration that proved to be overwhelming. These penniless natives were herded into Haiphong
51:02
which is a harbor in northern Vietnam, I actually was in that harbor, by U.S. Navy transport vessels. About 300,000 traveled on CIA air transport aircraft. Others walked. They were transported like cattle to the southern part of Vietnam. They were promised money. They were promised basic support.
51:29
and they were turned loose upon the local population without any of it. These Northerners are Tonkinese, more China than the Cochinese of the South. They have never mixed in the history of Vietnam. They didn't mix. They stayed in their own villages for centuries. Then, if that's not bad enough, we turned around and labeled them as communist insurgents.
52:03
carried them down there. And then we told the American people, these people were communist insurgents and had to be fought. And that's the real story of Vietnam. We create the enemy. Then we go to war with our created enemy. That should just like make your head blow up. That's exactly what they did. That's how, that's the real history of the Vietnam War.
52:42
By the time we get to 1970, Nixon would implement his Vietnamization program. It was a policy of the Nixon administration to reportedly end U.S. involvement in Vietnam War through a program to expand, equip, and train South Vietnamese forces and assign them to ever-increasing combat role. Well, based on what I just told you, we know that's like a BS mission because nobody down there wants to fight.
53:14
The northern people didn't want to be there. They were lied to to get them there. Henrik Kruger writes in his book, The Great Heroin Coup, Drugs, Intelligence and International Fascism, which I just bought, by the way. That ought to be interesting. Nixon's Vietnamization program pumped a fortune into South Vietnam, much of it pocketed by the officials, money laundering, investigations of endemic.
53:43
among non-commissioned officers and senior U.S. Army personnel led to a Hong Kong office run by a lieutenant of Drug Czar Traficani. You can't make that up. So they've got a guy that's running the investigation into corruption who's a lieutenant of a mobster. Pier number four heroin appeared in Saigon in 1970, creating an endemic.
54:13
among GIs. All previously available heroin had been the coarser form that could only be smoked. The new heroin wave was hushed up. By May of 1971, Congressman Morgan Murphy and Robert Steele issued their report, The World Heroin Problem. Among their sensational figures was that 15% of the GIs
54:42
that had been in Vietnam were addicted to heroin. The causes was easy to identify. The sudden appearance of enormous quantities of number four heroin. 14-year-old girls sold 90% pure heroin for peanuts. Pushers stuffed it into soldiers' pockets free of charge, and also they cracked down on marijuana in the barracks at the same time. The heroin coup was complete by 1973.
55:12
The French were out, the new labs, routes, and buyer networks were in place in Southeast Asia as the main supplier. Here is a mini history of how Vietnam was commandeered from the Corsican Mafia to form a new heroin channel that turned it over to CIA NATO-Gladioc construct and also moved the processing to Sicily.
55:41
which was within control of the NATO Gladio unit. In 1955, CIA agent Edward Lansdell began a war to liquidate the Korsian supply network. The Lansdell-Korsian vendetta lasted several years. Oddly enough, his principal informant on Korsian drug routes and connection to the former French foreign legionnaire was Lucien Koning.
56:13
C-O-N-E-I-N, then of the CIA. He knew just about every opium field smuggler trail airstrip that the Corsean mafia used. Lansdale returned to Vietnam as a advisor to Ambassador Lodge. There was also an upheaval in the narcotics traffic and perhaps the two were connected. CIA backed, yeah, perhaps. South Vietnam and lotion generals.
56:43
began taking over the opium traffic, and as they did so, increasing amounts of morphine and low-quality heroin began showing up in the Saigon market. The first heroin refinery sprang up in Laos under the control of a general whose name I'm not even going to try to pronounce. Saigon was initially in charge of smuggling from the Laotian refineries in South Vietnam.
57:11
Lansdale's office was working closely with these people. Lansdale himself was one of the president of Laos at the time's biggest supporters. General Lansdale returned to the U.S. in 1967, leaving Conan in Vietnam. The next year, Conan is greeted his new boss, William Colby.
57:44
Colby, you may remember, had run the agency's special division for covert operations in Southeast Asia, where his responsibilities included the secret CIA war in Laos. So Colby, if you fast forward a couple of decades, ends up dead in a body of water behind his house, floating under very mysterious conditions.
58:15
So it was during Colby's tour in Vietnam that the heroin turned out by the Laos labs appeared in quantity and it was unusually high quality. So it says 22% by this time, 22% of all soldiers sampled was basically on some type of drugs and 15% of them were hooked on them. So it's my.
58:48
Contention that you had one of the I believe that the American GIs, by giving them free heroin, were part of a test to see just how addictive heroin was. And I think they were basically creating some kind of a prototype, if you will.
59:19
by watching the addictiveness and who were more vulnerable to be addicted. Wouldn't be surprised at all. They experiment on military all the time. By 1971, Colby and Koning were recalled to the U.S. Colby became the deputy director of operations, who would be in charge of all covert operations. The CIA admitted that certain, excuse me,
59:52
in the organization had been involved in opium smuggling, illegal activities of U.S. allies that had overlooked to retain their loyalties. The agency had been forced to confess because its inability to refute the tale of returning GIs being addicted. The mission in Laos was to make friends with the people.
1:00:23
and organized them to train and fight the Pathak Lao. One of the main tasks was to buy up the entire local crop of opium. About twice a week, Air America planes would arrive with supplies and kilo bags of opium, which were loaded on the plane. Each bag was marked with a symbol of the tribe from which it was gotten. CIA reportedly did not support any form of smuggling.
1:00:52
after 1968. Bullshit. In 1971, this is a quote, in 1971, I was an operations assistant for Continental Air Services, which flew for the CIA in Laos. The company transport planes shipped large quantities of rice. However, when the freight invoice was marked diverse, I knew it was opium. As a rule, an office telephone with a special number would ring and a voice would say,
1:01:23
The customer is here. So the people that were involved in this network, they all knew what was going on. Even while the CIA trafficked in opium, President Nixon ranted on television routinely about being against drug abuse and lauded the crackdown against the French smuggling networks. And I've already told you his crackdown about the French smuggling networks was to redirect them to ones controlled by the CIA.
1:01:56
And those controlled by the CIA were set up during the time when Nixon was vice president to Eisenhower. So it isn't like he didn't know. He knew. So that's it for the Vietnam chapter. The next chapter is going to knock your socks off because that's about the title of it is who really runs the Middle East terror apparatus. And it's a very interesting insight. Again.
1:02:25
completely applicable to everything that's going on today. So my daughter's been calling me nonstop since I got on here. So I'm going to go through the comments real quick. I appreciate everybody being here. See if we've got anything on here that anybody wants me to bring up. Don't forget. Julie's got it going on. Don't forget the thumbs up and.
1:02:55
Make sure that you're one of the ones following us. Julie, keep in track. We're up to 428. She sent me a text the other day and went, woohoo, we're over 400. God bless her. She's such an awesome wingman. I really, really appreciate her being here. If I've got, I don't see any other questions or comments. So I'm going to go ahead and sign off here. And again, thank you very much.
1:03:25
I will see you tomorrow.
