The medical industry is mostly errors. Low fat diet, seed oils, etc. But the gravest error of our lifetimes was Fauci, the mini Mengele and his manufactured virus and accompanying death jabs. Why hasn't that genocidal goblin been set on fire?
Fauci has a portrait of himself hanging over his work desk in his study. Fauci thinks that when he dies, he will meet Fauci, and not some 'God' thingy.
I remember the carb craze when were supposed to be stuffing ourselves with them instead of eating meat. I have reverted to the diet that I grew up with: milk, meat, eggs, butter, cream, cheese, vegetables and fruit. It works for me. I eat less because the protein fills me up.
It's the fat that fills you up. Saturated animal fat like lard, butter, beef tallow is what we are supposed to eat, yet they've been screaming at us to eat poisonous seed oils for fifty ears.
The secret to losing weight is adequate protein and added fat. Low to no carbs.
I was always skinny until menopause hit. Tried all kinds of things as the weight crept up slowly over the years. One adventure with a chiropractor worked extremely well and I got back down to my high school weight, but involved lots of counting grams of fat, protein, and carbs, which were very hard to get in the right proportions. The starting process required additional products that eventually became unavailable. Twice I fell off the wagon and repeated the process, but it never worked quite as well. I always wondered if it was because I wasn’t getting the chiropractic adjustments that I got under their supervision when I started the program ($$$). Maybe they helped my biome more than could be measured.
Anyway, I decided to try a keto diet. I was amazed at how quickly the pounds started falling off — a pound every day or two or three until I got within seven pounds of my high school weight and it seemed to stop. And it was so easy (no record keeping). I’ve kept the weight off for over six years. I weigh daily and when I see the weight up a pound or two I cut back to pure keto (nothing white: potatoes, rice, sugar, corn, flour; goal no more than 20g carbs per day). I spend time with family and eat a roll or potatoes or a cookie here and there and then I go home and go back to my low carb foods. (You don’t know how GOOD potatoes taste until you haven’t eaten them for months. They actually taste sweet!)
Best of all, I don’t fight the battle of something sweet, then something salty, then something sweet…never feeling satisfied. Yes, the fat fills us up, but protein helps with that feeling, too, from what I’ve read. (We need more protein as we age anyway to prevent muscle loss.) That satisfied feeling is so much better than the “stuffed” feeling one gets after overeating. I still experience that feeling at Thanksgiving because I LOVE dressing. It doesn’t hurt to mix things up occasionally, right? 😉 Just have to have the discipline to return, and I do. That daily scale reading does it for me. Also I like what I eat. Don’t know how I’d make it without “Cheese, Grommit, cheese!” though!
And he did! According to documentation in RFK’s book, he experimented on orphans (or kids in the foster sytem with no one to advocate for them) with AIDS drugs and many died horrible, lonely deaths. (Where was the media on that?!)
"I am actually the lead and corresponding author on the most cited research paper of this person's career. Someone told me that today, and I verified it.
The claim that her work has had any substantial effect on breast cancer is a dramatic overstatement.
Like much of what’s being presented in this 60 Minutes segment, it’s a PR narrative designed to grab money. It’s dishonesty from these institutions about what technology from the life sciences can actually do—and it says more about the way universities grift the public for sympathy and funding than anything about science itself."
Regardless, her BS should be viewed in the same light as the claims of all the "Nuclear Fusion is just around the corner" gurus, who have been handing us the same line of shite for the past fifty years in order to keep the grant money rlling in. Grifters and shysters, the bunch of them.
When I had finished all of my engineering doctoral classes and was contemplating my thesis topic I was stumped. An advisor told me to pick a thesis that was "degree awarding" not an "award WINNING" thesis. The light bulb came on. Get a Jerry Seinfeld Doctorate with a thesis about NOTHING. The lions share of Doctoral work is about NOTHING. I'm pissed I didn't think to study shrimp on a treadmill. That's a good one..
Especially ridiculous are most of the papers written for advancement in the various university "Studies" programs, but none of them is immune to the process. As is said about "experts" in general, they are people who know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
But it's an arrangement between two self-interested grifters; that's why it will be SOOO hard to quash. One is so-called Higher Ed, which has expanded preposterously far beyond any conceivable usefulness, and the other the similarly overgrown Federal Government. The former wants mo' money, mo' money for overpaid sinecures, and the latter wants to justify its own existence by giving them boatloads of other people's money for "science" and "public health" and "social justice" and "equity".
As a nurse and daughter of a surgeon, all I can say is Thank God for RFK, McCarty, Bhattacharya, Oz, McCullough, Malone, and on & on to the brave doctors who stood up to Fauci et al, a more grateful nation there could not be. Medicine is in a very deep pit and has to be rescued against its will.
When I was young (in the last century), we watched 60 Minutes as a family. We believed then, and maybe it was so then, that what they told us was accurate, real, and something we should 'think' about. That's what news and information are supposed to do, right? Compare anything 'news worthy' from the 50's to the current 20's. Mass media has learned that they can control the narrative to the point that they can get, probably, half the people (remember the Intelligence Bell Curve) to believe 'anything'. We have been programmed for a long time to 'accept', not challenge the 'experts' thinking. And we should be challenging everything with objective thinking.
Watching 60 minutes and their so tedious righteous indignation is kinda like watching the Babylon Bee. Difference only being the BB knows it is putting out satire. Whereas CBS, (I'm assuming) actually thinks it is putting out news.
C-BS. Condescending Bull S#it, More BS than the Chicago stockyard. They can't hide their superior snobby attitudes when delivering absolute BS to the unaware masses.
i stopped watching 60 minutes when they altered,faked and lied about a study comparing male and female results in the military, police and fire departments. i knew a good friend of my mothers who was a general in the army and he flatly broke the entire 60 minutes program down from a to z. he wasn't directly involved in the project but knew another general who was. sometimes it pays to listen at adult cocktail parties. this would be an opportune time for me to chirp about some things i know concerning the original who wants to be a millionaire show with regis philbin but everyone is still alive so i have to zip my lips.
I stopped trusting 60 Minutes when they ran their manufactured story about cars blowing up upon rear impact. Sure they will, if you are carrying a BOMB in the trunk!
I grew up in the Vietnam war era. My dad gave me a shortwave radio receiver for Christmas one year and I spent many hours listening to whatever I could find. One thing that had a very strong signal was the English language broadcast of Radio Moscow. Intriguing part of it was also listening Cronkite and (I think) 60 Minutes and finding that they were not that much different from Radio Moscow. My wife claims that I am a confirmed cynic and maybe she is right. It certainly taught me to always assume that the "news" organizations were lying to me until I found evidence to the contrary.
It's unfortunate that I was too young during President Eisenhower's administration to recognize his genius. Besides his caveat about the "military-industrial complex", his often overlooked warning was to preclude the federal government from funding scientific and medical research.
Such funding, he said, would always find what they want you to find. Eccolo qui, 38 trillion.
My late Dad said he would have voted for Ike forever if he could. I remember him growling during Vietnam that "Ike would have kept us out of this mess."
HRT may help many women but it won't help men at all. No matter what hormone you give to a woman, she still will never be ready on time and you will spend around 5% of your entire life waiting on them.
My radar went off when he mentioned painful sex. Even men were indirectly injured by this medical malpractice..... First I find out I could have studied treadmill shrimp and now how painful sex started. It's been a bad morning for me.
Pancreatic cancer has no cure. Breast cancer is horrible but is much more survivable. I hope at some point pancreatic cancer research gets the same funding.
There are so many variables to health and longevity. My parents and younger brother were life long smokers, alcohol was not a problem though brother added bad street drugs to his repertoire. He died of adult leukemia at 32 in remission after cleaning up and fully realizing the psychological issues in his life that went along with his physical demise. I loved my family but found a different path at 30 which led me to change old habits, pursue holistic health treatments and while not throwing out Western medicine, it did make me skeptical.
However in spite of all the positive changes I instilled in my life nothing prepared me for my father’s death…expected but not on the day before my 40th birthday followed the unexpected passing of my only sibling 6 days later. It sent my paternal family into a tailspin of grief. The eldest son and grandson…gone.
Never become so spiritually arrogant to believe you can’t fall into the abyss.
I could write a book about what followed but I’ll stop here and borrow a fitting title for the chapter on my forties’ from a Dorothy Parker query…“What fresh hell is this?” Oh yes, to top it off…perimenopause came roaring in challenging everything.
Including my father. He took expernuntal drugs from NIH to no avail. Pancreatic cancer is a horrible.death yet I also know two women who fought it and won.
And yet they’ve gone whole hog over the last 8 years into injecting all sorts of life-altering hormone therapies into uninformed and impressionable CHILDREN, claiming it’s just “affirming”!
The insanity regime we’ve been living under utterly defies description.
As for 60 Minutes: I remember way back when, in young adulthood, watching that show and thinking it was good, compelling journalism. And then, I eventually noticed that all of its muckraking stories fit a template: exposure of some heinous wrongdoing featuring a valiant victim and his/her villainous, predatory oppressor. The latter figure was almost always a rich white businessman. It was a morality play. 60 Minutes wasn't doing journalism; it was doing theater.
And then, the mask slipped off entirely 21 years ago because scheming AWFL wicked witch Mary Mapes and pretentious dullard dipshit Dan Rather were so keen on torpedoing GWB on the eve of his re-election that they got sloppy and attempted to pass off laughable forgeries. Consider how massively treacherous and stupid the Rathergate caper had to be that CBS had to own up to it and fire Mapes and Rather. It's on par with the recent BBC caper. The perps lied so blatantly that heads had to roll, when you know damn well that both CBS and BBC would much rather have held on to their "talent" and let them continue to crank out tendentious propaganda year after year.
My question is, after Rathergate, why would anyone trust that anything in a 60 Minutes segment was being presented in good faith? The show's creators are dishonest partisans. They are about as far from "journalism" as it is possible to be.
We had a few good Dahmer jokes the other day. My minister recently told us that one of his professors had regularly done prison ministry and one of his regulars was Dahmer.
You may want to reread Reagan’s history. There was no ‘me’ in his vocabulary.
Unlike most political grifters, he was already wealthy & didn’t need government, if that’s what you’re implying.
He was a great governor of California, leaving the leftist fool, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, a $5 billion dollar surplus which he promptly squandered.
And, to add insult to injury, Mexifornia's morons reelected that stupid son-of-a-bitch for another eight year stint as Governor, birthing an even stupider political grifter named Gruesome Newsom.
The "me" doesn't refer to Reagan, it refers to the man/woman from the government. The complete statement should have been "I'm from the government and I'm here to help ME."
I’m a fan of Reagan and, as a high school senior, I volunteered at the Capitol when the legislature was in session, explaining what was happening on the floor to those in the peanut gallery.
At that time, it was an education. Not so much now.
A couple of 60 Minute episodes stand out to me: the first was the exploding gas tanks where they rigged vehicles to explode when involved in minor accidents; the second was maligning jeeps for being unsafe while turning, but the third is what turned me against the LYING, FAKE-NEWS MEDIA forever. That’s when the racist negro, Bernard Shaw, embedded himself with an NVA patrol who then ambushed an American patrol, killing the Americans, all the while filming it for North Vietnamese propaganda.
When asked about his responsibility for the killing of American soldiers, he had ZERO remorse.
That’s why I despise jacka$$ democRATs & their media sycophants.
A quagmire in Vietnam is what happens when political grifters 10,000 miles away think they know better how to manage, direct(?) a war than the officers and warriors on the ground.
Kennedy's "whiz' kids were anything but 'wizards of smart', especially that fool Bob McNamara. They all proved to be incredibly dumb with their nonsensical decisions.
General Westmoreland should have told them to STFU, get the hell out of the way and just do what they - the Army, Navy, Air Force & Special Ops - were trained to do, kill our enemies, destroy their infrastructure and ability to wage war. The Wizards of Smart wouldn't allow them to that. Besides, we were fighting several enemies - Russia, ChiComs and NoKo's besides North Vietnam.
Actually, during and after WW II, the true Chinese government were in exile on Taiwan. We supported Chiang Kai-shek, not the communist Mao Zedong, who overthrew him during 1949's Chinese Civil War.
It was only a matter of time that South Vietnam would be incorporated into the North because our very own jacka$$-communi$t-democRAT$, under the guidance of a “phony soldier,” Senator John Kerry (Commie MA), stopped funding and supplying the war effort after we shamelessly left in 1975.
We supplied weapons and other materials to both the nationalist and communist forces. The communists mostly stockpiled the gear and later used it to defeat Chiang. FDR went on the assumption that since Russia was our ally, Mao would join the fight. Instead, they only fought when forced to letting the nationalists suffer the losses.
Also, China was very fractured at that time. Chiang was one of many regional forces and American support for him angered many who otherwise would have opposed Mao which hurt the entire effort.
Also, Taiwan was occupied by Japan beginning in 1895 and remained a Japanese possession until 1945. Chiang held court in Chongqing.
No argument from me, but if you really want to know how screwed up China was during WW II, read Iris Chang’s Rape of Nanking. She was so distraught after researching it & writing about it, she committed suicide, which is our loss. Very talented writer.
I did not serve but siblings and in-laws did with my friends in the hot zones. The one thing I remember is the epithets directed at the MIC and asshats in DC holding the military from victory, Clarke very specifically.
I don't remember who told the story, but one of my family, may have been a cousin, was told to wear civies while in transit. While on layover at LAX he witnessed an anti war protester throw a cup of urine on a sailor in uniform. The sailor promptly chased down the vermin and thrashed him.
That evening it was on the news reported as a deranged sailor attacking a protester for no reason.
I had two brothers, two brothers in law and at least five cousins that served. In addition, several cousins were also married to Vietnam era vets.
One uncle served in the Navy during Korea. He elected burial at sea. When Grandma found out, she was furious. He told her, " if I were to be buried, worms would eat me. Then people would dig up the worms to go fishing and the fish would eat the worms. I'm just cutting out the middleman."
We can't trust the authenticity of data, or the messaging of its meaning, when it is processed or handled by higher Ed or government. The government's funding of research must stop.
Advice to young people... start young avoiding stress of any kind. Along with smoking, illicit drugs, and abuse of alcohol, stress is a killer. We gave up 60 Minuts decades ago; it works. No stress of anykind over here. Oh.. one more thing. Avoid J.I.M.s= Jerks, Idiots, Morons. That also is important.
Interestingly, a quick Grok search shows that while men's deaths from prostate cancer are slightly below that of women's from breast malignancy, funding for breast cancer research is roughly 2.5 x that for prostate cancer.
Once again we are reminded that men are expendable.
The medical industry is mostly errors. Low fat diet, seed oils, etc. But the gravest error of our lifetimes was Fauci, the mini Mengele and his manufactured virus and accompanying death jabs. Why hasn't that genocidal goblin been set on fire?
Even if we never punish him, the LORD will.
But yes, I would volunteer to be a member of the firing squad that arranges him meeting GOD.
What makes you think fauchi will meet God?
I'm a Christian, I believe in GOD and that he will judge at the last day all those not covered by the blood of Jesus.
Fauci has a portrait of himself hanging over his work desk in his study. Fauci thinks that when he dies, he will meet Fauci, and not some 'God' thingy.
Old joke: What is the difference between doctors and God? God does not think he is a doctor.

Anyway, I decided to try a keto diet.

And it was so easy (no record keeping). I’ve kept the weight off for over six years.

I'm with you. I stuff myself like a turkey on thanksgiving and then go back to being good.
True
It worked for me.
Delicious too.
We're all waiting impatiently for Dr. Evil to be perp walked.
We're all waiting impatiently for ANYONE to be perp walked. But yes, this POS is maybe highest on the list.
You're letting him off too easy.
You would inject him with hiv and give him fleas carrying who knows what ?? /sarc sympathy
That horrid man Fauci was cruel to dogs. If you are hurt animals, you will hurt people.
And he did! According to documentation in RFK’s book, he experimented on orphans (or kids in the foster sytem with no one to advocate for them) with AIDS drugs and many died horrible, lonely deaths. (Where was the media on that?!)
More like it, Marlan. Slow death by flea bites.
Beagle puppies would agree.
Now THAT’S what I call justice!
Mini Mengele, indeed! At the top of my list.
💯💯💯
Because it's against the law.
Just saying
Check the X post from Jason Locasale who claims:
"I am actually the lead and corresponding author on the most cited research paper of this person's career. Someone told me that today, and I verified it.
The claim that her work has had any substantial effect on breast cancer is a dramatic overstatement.

When I had finished all of my engineering doctoral classes and was contemplating my thesis topic I was stumped. An advisor told me to pick a thesis that was "degree awarding" not an "award WINNING" thesis. The light bulb came on. Get a Jerry Seinfeld Doctorate with a thesis about NOTHING.

Kind of like 'surrounding yourself with yourself'....YES?
Plus I bet you get to eat the shrimp afterwards.
But it's an arrangement between two self-interested grifters; that's why it will be SOOO hard to quash. One is so-called Higher Ed, which has expanded preposterously far beyond any conceivable usefulness, and the other the similarly overgrown Federal Government.

The proverbial self-licking ice cream cone.
Well put!
Don, thank you for keeping us abreast of this situation.
Yes, it's good that HHS is performing a hysteria-ectomy on their previous position. The label cleavage is important. Period.
😂
many of these scientists are just boobs masquerading as knowledgeable.
As a nurse and daughter of a surgeon, all I can say is Thank God for RFK, McCarty, Bhattacharya, Oz, McCullough, Malone, and on & on to the brave doctors who stood up to Fauci et al, a more grateful nation there could not be. Medicine is in a very deep pit and has to be rescued against its will.
all possible because of trump alice.
100% Donald, no doubt about it.
Amen, Alice. Amen. Industry busters!

When I was a kid, my mother referred to their news as See BS.
Her exact words were "switch over to the evening news so we can see BS ".
Back then I was the remote. I think that's the only reason they kept me around.
Watching 60 minutes and their so tedious righteous indignation is kinda like watching the Babylon Bee. Difference only being the BB knows it is putting out satire. Whereas CBS, (I'm assuming) actually thinks it is putting out news.
And the Bee is funny.
Dillon drills demoncrats and pubbies alike as he delivers sarcastic farces that are sometimes prophetic.
C-BS. Condescending Bull S#it, More BS than the Chicago stockyard. They can't hide their superior snobby attitudes when delivering absolute BS to the unaware masses.
No, they know full well that they are lying.
i stopped watching 60 minutes when they altered,faked and lied about a study comparing male and female results in the military, police and fire departments. i knew a good friend of my mothers who was a general in the army and he flatly broke the entire 60 minutes program down from a to z. he wasn't directly involved in the project but knew another general who was. sometimes it pays to listen at adult cocktail parties. this would be an opportune time for me to chirp about some things i know concerning the original who wants to be a millionaire show with regis philbin but everyone is still alive so i have to zip my lips.

absolutely. i hope your wife is also a cynic. men have to be both stoic and cynical while women get to oscillate like a dreidel.
I stopped watching in the late 70’s. By then I knew Mike Wallace, Morley Safer. Harry Reasoner, Ed Bradley et all were leftists.
It's unfortunate that I was too young during President Eisenhower's administration to recognize his genius. Besides his caveat about the "military-industrial complex", his often overlooked warning was to preclude the federal government from funding scientific and medical research.

My late Dad said he would have voted for Ike forever if he could. I remember him growling during Vietnam that "Ike would have kept us out of this mess."
had an uncle who always said the same thing john. we're going to miss trump. the left won't of course but all good men and women will.
Blessings to your late Dad. He was correct about that mess.
After Covid many people have had their eyes opened about tons of things we were told and proved to be lies.
Belief in the medical community and what we are told is a top suspect.
Most all of this change because of the Covid lies.
I don’t know what to believe about medicine anymore more.
Is the Lipitor I’m taking doing anything for me?
How about the One A Day vitamins?
Who knows?
Outfits like 60 Idiots doesn’t help.
I make those decisions by perceiving who the medical establishment hates and going that way. They hate RFK Jr and they hate supplements.
I therefore take lots of supplements, and dropped added sugar over a decade ago to avoid the yoke of diabetes medication.
COVID altered my world view for the better.
i will never trust another doctor or nurse.
HRT may help many women but it won't help men at all. No matter what hormone you give to a woman, she still will never be ready on time and you will spend around 5% of your entire life waiting on them.

you left out the part where it will still be your fault when walking in late to the wedding.
Pancreatic cancer has no cure. Breast cancer is horrible but is much more survivable. I hope at some point pancreatic cancer research gets the same funding.
prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women and yet gets less than half the funding.
It sounds like you lost someone close yoú to Pancreatic Cancer Dave.
I get it.
possibly but it's pretty common knowledge that pancreatic cancer is a death sentence.
There are so many variables to health and longevity. My parents and younger brother were life long smokers, alcohol was not a problem though brother added bad street drugs to his repertoire. He died of adult leukemia at 32 in remission after cleaning up and fully realizing the psychological issues in his life that went along with his physical demise.

Never become so spiritually arrogant to believe you can’t fall into the abyss.
I could write a book about what followed but I’ll stop here and borrow a fitting title for the chapter on my forties’ from a Dorothy Parker query…“What fresh hell is this?” Oh yes, to top it off…perimenopause came roaring in challenging everything.
my son is going on 52. my plan is for him to bury me and i am quite sure that's his plan too lol.
Including my father. He took expernuntal drugs from NIH to no avail. Pancreatic cancer is a horrible.death yet I also know two women who fought it and won.
Herman Cain won, had been in Stage 4.
or did he. they called it covid but i'll always wonder.
And yet they’ve gone whole hog over the last 8 years into injecting all sorts of life-altering hormone therapies into uninformed and impressionable CHILDREN, claiming it’s just “affirming”!
The insanity regime we’ve been living under utterly defies description.
Hilarious poll choices :·)

CBS didn't change after Rather / Mapes getting exposed & the BBC will not change either.
As Rush always said, they have to be put out of business - it's the only way.
A nice analysis of their formulaic exposés. Having said that, I did enjoy the Andy Rooney segments.
“I wonder why that is?” 😏
Yeah Andy Rooney was typically the only watchable segment of 60 Minutes.
Rathergate should have been the end for 60 Minutes.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
I had to pick the Jeffrey Dhamer cooking show for the poll because it made me chuckle loudly. Thank you for that.
Today's question for consideration. Why does the world hate?
Sin.
We had a few good Dahmer jokes the other day. My minister recently told us that one of his professors had regularly done prison ministry and one of his regulars was Dahmer.
Envy ?
You and BJ54 are both correct.
Ronald W. Reagan:
“the nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
60 Minutes, like the communist apologists Walter Cronkite & Dan Blather, has NEVER been a reliable source of information.
Reagan left out the 10th word: me.
You may want to reread Reagan’s history. There was no ‘me’ in his vocabulary.
Unlike most political grifters, he was already wealthy & didn’t need government, if that’s what you’re implying.
He was a great governor of California, leaving the leftist fool, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, a $5 billion dollar surplus which he promptly squandered.
And, to add insult to injury, Mexifornia's morons reelected that stupid son-of-a-bitch for another eight year stint as Governor, birthing an even stupider political grifter named Gruesome Newsom.
My, how the mighty Golden State has fallen!
The "me" doesn't refer to Reagan, it refers to the man/woman from the government. The complete statement should have been "I'm from the government and I'm here to help ME."
Thanks for the clarification.
I’m a fan of Reagan and, as a high school senior, I volunteered at the Capitol when the legislature was in session, explaining what was happening on the floor to those in the peanut gallery.
At that time, it was an education. Not so much now.
Your meaning was clear to me.
I do have a suggestion on it, though:
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help. But not to help you.”
Basically, if they said it, you knew it wasn't true.
A couple of 60 Minute episodes stand out to me: the first was the exploding gas tanks where they rigged vehicles to explode when involved in minor accidents; the second was maligning jeeps for being unsafe while turning, but the third is what turned me against the LYING, FAKE-NEWS MEDIA forever. That’s when the racist negro, Bernard Shaw, embedded himself with an NVA patrol who then ambushed an American patrol, killing the Americans, all the while filming it for North Vietnamese propaganda.
When asked about his responsibility for the killing of American soldiers, he had ZERO remorse.
That’s why I despise jacka$$ democRATs & their media sycophants.
I don't remember the incident with the NVA, but I was a kid and it probably didn't register.
We ended up with a lot of Vietnamese refugees in my area. Mostly women and kids whose husbands were slaughtered by the NVA after the fall off Saigon.
My take is that in the early 60's the rubber from Vietnam was of strategic importance but by 1973 we had synthetics that made it obsolete.
We ruined a lot of lives needlessly.
Our screwing up during WW2 when we supplied the communists in China. Should have limited our assistance to the free forces.
A quagmire in Vietnam is what happens when political grifters 10,000 miles away think they know better how to manage, direct(?) a war than the officers and warriors on the ground.
Kennedy's "whiz' kids were anything but 'wizards of smart', especially that fool Bob McNamara. They all proved to be incredibly dumb with their nonsensical decisions.
General Westmoreland should have told them to STFU, get the hell out of the way and just do what they - the Army, Navy, Air Force & Special Ops - were trained to do, kill our enemies, destroy their infrastructure and ability to wage war. The Wizards of Smart wouldn't allow them to that. Besides, we were fighting several enemies - Russia, ChiComs and NoKo's besides North Vietnam.
Actually, during and after WW II, the true Chinese government were in exile on Taiwan. We supported Chiang Kai-shek, not the communist Mao Zedong, who overthrew him during 1949's Chinese Civil War.
It was only a matter of time that South Vietnam would be incorporated into the North because our very own jacka$$-communi$t-democRAT$, under the guidance of a “phony soldier,” Senator John Kerry (Commie MA), stopped funding and supplying the war effort after we shamelessly left in 1975.
We supplied weapons and other materials to both the nationalist and communist forces. The communists mostly stockpiled the gear and later used it to defeat Chiang. FDR went on the assumption that since Russia was our ally, Mao would join the fight. Instead, they only fought when forced to letting the nationalists suffer the losses.
Also, China was very fractured at that time. Chiang was one of many regional forces and American support for him angered many who otherwise would have opposed Mao which hurt the entire effort.
Also, Taiwan was occupied by Japan beginning in 1895 and remained a Japanese possession until 1945. Chiang held court in Chongqing.
Your assessment of Vietnam is spot on.
No argument from me, but if you really want to know how screwed up China was during WW II, read Iris Chang’s Rape of Nanking. She was so distraught after researching it & writing about it, she committed suicide, which is our loss. Very talented writer.
I did not know this;
> We supplied weapons and other materials to both the nationalist and communist forces.
But it reminds me of something - now what was that…?
Oh yeah. Ukraine.
I did not serve but siblings and in-laws did with my friends in the hot zones. The one thing I remember is the epithets directed at the MIC and asshats in DC holding the military from victory, Clarke very specifically.
Two brothers served, one Army and one Air Force.
I don't remember who told the story, but one of my family, may have been a cousin, was told to wear civies while in transit. While on layover at LAX he witnessed an anti war protester throw a cup of urine on a sailor in uniform. The sailor promptly chased down the vermin and thrashed him.
That evening it was on the news reported as a deranged sailor attacking a protester for no reason.
I had two brothers, two brothers in law and at least five cousins that served. In addition, several cousins were also married to Vietnam era vets.
One uncle served in the Navy during Korea. He elected burial at sea. When Grandma found out, she was furious. He told her, " if I were to be buried, worms would eat me. Then people would dig up the worms to go fishing and the fish would eat the worms. I'm just cutting out the middleman."
The gas tanks on GM trucks exploding was a farce brought to you by Nuttin But Chit ,can not recall the hyping host but he was SERIOUS.
Tom Brokaw ?
Pretty darn good reasons.
Don’t misunderstand, WTP, I’m an equal opportunity abhorrer. There are just as many spineless, duplicitous elephants…
Unimaginable. I am reminded of George Soros who helped the Nazis arrest Jews. No remorse in him either.
We can't trust the authenticity of data, or the messaging of its meaning, when it is processed or handled by higher Ed or government. The government's funding of research must stop.
Advice to young people... start young avoiding stress of any kind. Along with smoking, illicit drugs, and abuse of alcohol, stress is a killer. We gave up 60 Minuts decades ago; it works. No stress of anykind over here. Oh.. one more thing. Avoid J.I.M.s= Jerks, Idiots, Morons. That also is important.
Interestingly, a quick Grok search shows that while men's deaths from prostate cancer are slightly below that of women's from breast malignancy, funding for breast cancer research is roughly 2.5 x that for prostate cancer.
Once again we are reminded that men are expendable.
