APRIL 30, 2019 – THE 44th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF SAIGON.
On April 29, 1945, the U.S. Seventh Army’s 45th Infantry Division liberated Dachau, the first concentration camp established by Germany’s Nazi.
Then 30 years later on April 30, 1975, it was the Fall of Saigon.
On Aug. 7, 1964 the US Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Yet the US Congress did nothing when the 1954 Peace Accords was being finalized in Geneva that drew the 17th parallel and dictated the conditions of the Vietnam War long before the USA got involved. The US Congress acted TEN YEARS LATE. This is OUR U.S. Congress’ standard operating procedure. Another example of the “JEKYLL and HYDE” US Foreign Policy.

“If you have a disease of the old society, take a dose of Lenin medication.”
– Pol Pot Khmer Rouge leader who tried to form a Communist peasant farming society instead killed 25% to 37% percent of Cambodia’s 1975 estimated 8 million population from disease, starvation, overwork and executions.

When was the U.S. Congress ever investigated for the faulty and disastrous laws it has passed?
Since members of Congress have their own pension plan and healthcare system, they keep passing laws designed to pile more debt to our children and grandchildren. It’s time to look as the U.S. Declaration of Independence and consider revoking our consent to be governed in this manner.
In the meantime, the US national debt as of April 16, 2019 at 11:30 PM has reached $22 Trillion
$22,215,084,276,079
Debt per citizen – $67,570
Debt per taxpayer $181,161
Largest budget
Medicare – $1.149 Trillion
Social Security – $1.012 Trillion
Total Interest Paid – $3.1 Trillion
Interest Per Citizen – $9,466
About 30 years before the Fall of Saigon on APRIL 29, 1945, the U.S. Seventh Army’s 45th Infantry Division liberated Dachau, Hitler’s first concentration camp. On April 17, 1975, Cambodia fell into the hands of communist Khmer Rouge and the Cambodia genocide started. Tuol Svay Pray High School was renamed S-21. It became the torture, interrogation and execution center. We didn’t learn anything from Dachau. We didn’t learn anything from WWII.
Today, our leaders in Washington DC do not seem to know how and why Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos were lost, where their predecessors failed. They do not even want to remember. They all do not want to know. This is an obvious sign that we are not ready for globalization.
Washington DC should consider coordinating its foreign policy with the U.K. and even with Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the entire CANZUK group.
I would venture to say, Washington DC’s failure to intercede on behalf of the free world in the 1954 Geneva Conference has happened again somewhere around the world and probably closer to home. The biggest handicap of the Western powers during the conference was the lack of united course of action and desired outcome.
