Betrayal and Tragedy
Before there was George Floyd and the worldwide Black Lives Matter “mostly peaceful” protests (that turned into deadly riots and city-destroying conflagrations), there was the Vietnam War. Before the massive rallies against climate change and white privilege, and the demonstrations of radical militants over the Israel-Hamas Gaza War and LGBTQ “rights,” there was Vietnam.
The recent campus occupations and confrontations at Columbia, Harvard, and other institutions are a replay of the clashes we saw at the same schools in the 1960s and 1970s. What’s more, we see the same cast of characters, ranging from the Marxist-Leninists to the globalists stirring the same phony “right vs. left” turmoil. The violent, pro-communist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and Black Panther Party have regrouped. They may be only shadows of their former selves, but they are hugely augmented by hundreds of old and new NGOs, political parties, and coalitions such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, Liberation Road, Communist Party USA, Workers World Party, Democratic Socialists of America, Black Lives Matter, and Students for Justice in Palestine.
Today, as during the Vietnam War, we also see the Establishment globalists, the American shadow government — what is now widely referred to as the Deep State — playing the same deceitful role of sowing confusion and chaos by financing both sides of conflicts and strategically flip-flopping at critical junctures to support the communist Left while pretending to be anti-communist. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of State, the Central Intelligence Agency, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, and the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie Foundations were (and remain) critical players in this subterfuge. Not only did this unified globalist choir openly support communist leader Ho Chi Minh’s takeover of what became North Vietnam, but they continued later to support him more or less covertly in a multitude of ways while pretending to support the anti-communist forces of South Vietnam.
