Vietnam, the Beginning of the American Empire's Destruction

The destruction of world empires have important events that trigger the final results. In the case of the American Empire that marked its apex following World War Two the climactic event was the Vietnam War and the events that flowed from it.

The linchpin of destruction was launched by a military-industrial complex initiative carried out by what is now termed the New World Order. Then Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who worked closely with the CIA in the critical period shortly after World War Two when America stood at its highest military and economic peaks, wrote later about the creation of a secret team.

The ambitious game plan of a new Secret Team was to set into motion actions precipitating war that would generate economic profits for the military-industrial complex.

Mindful of the fact, made crystal clear by President Harry Truman’s unleashing of the atomic bomb against Japan, that nuclear warfare would signal the end of humanity as we know it, the Secret Team sought to engineer conflicts that would provide huge enrichment to the military-industrial complex without escalating to the level of nuclear warfare.

A major calculation was made regarding the Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam. Prouty noted that huge shipments of war materiel was shipped in huge crates to South Vietnam before any major policy announcement was made. It would be put to use in a conflict that escalated to the point where over a half million U.S. troops were involved at the war’s peak numerical point.

In order to justify conflicts that enrich the New World Order it is essential to invoke propaganda tools in a manner to frighten citizens into believing that their entire way of life is in immediate jeopardy unless preventive action is taken.

In the case of the Vietnam War this was done through perpetrating the domino theory. The point that was shot through the body politic and media with well-timed propaganda bullets was that if an onrushing Communist tide were not halted in Southeast Asia that the nations would collapse in the manner of a capitulating row of dominoes until Asia was under Communist dominion.

The recent Oval Office tapes recorded of Vietnam War hawk President Lyndon B. Johnson are terrifying in their panic-laden outreach and absence of corroboration. Johnson dramatically proclaimed that if the efforts of the North Vietnamese were not repulsed that the Communists would invade America’s homes and rape this nation’s wives and daughters.

It was Johnson who on August 2, 1964 claimed that an attack had been launched against the destroyer USS Maddox by North Vietnamese forces. It is insightful to note that the response involved rushing through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that contained the kind of “do whatever is necessary” language that prompted the two senators who voted against it, Wayne Morse of Oregon and Ernest Gruening of Alaska, to contend that it constituted an expansive war declaration.

The Secret Team-New World Order reach has extended in the ensuing period of just under two generations but the primary tactic remains the same. When a defining act occurs a swift response follows.

This pattern is understandable. The one thing that the ruling powers do not wish is to provide a timely opportunity for discussion. Instead a panic button is pushed. A decision needs to be reached immediately.

Following 9/11 we saw the swiftness with which the so-called Patriot Act was passed. When the special UN committee headed by Sweden’s Hans Blix as well as France’s President Jacques Chirac sought additional time to finish its investigation and report regarding the allegation of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney that Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hussein possessed the nuclear power and motivation to launch an imminent attack against the United States, the Fox-Limbaugh propaganda forces maligned Sweden as a nation of wimps and France as a country of quiche eaters.

Vietnam was a solid testing ground for the force now known as the New World Order. Since thinking individuals in other parts of the world saw the tragedy of the world’s leading nuclear power decimating a small nation on the fallacious presence that its existence was being threatened, the propaganda spout needed to be immediately released full force.

The result was a series of smears. To oppose the Vietnam War was to coalesce around Communists, Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers, and cowards. At the time draft dodgers were also included in the blanket indictment. It has had to be withdrawn in view of the vast number of current New World Order neoconservative Republican drum beaters who used every opportunity to resist service at a time when they vocally supported the Vietnam conflict.

Today smears are being unleashed against those who stand up against New World Order power ploys such as the two Iraq conflicts along with full scale abrogation of civil liberties domestically and internationally.
