UGLY BUT TRUE?

REF:"Was Rambo Right?"by Ron Unz, www.LewRockwell.com 4/28/2010

For more information about the following story , see the following links:

'None dare call it a conspiracy', yet why is the major media so incapable of telling the truth
and exposing the lies of the American leaders? This article, UGLY BUT TRUE?, deals primarily about the prisoners of war left behind in Vietnam and the shame of America in disregarding these unfortunates who were there because of our misadventure.

The mainstream media , who have cried endlessly that the" people have a right to know" are patently guilty of ignoring information that does not agree with the official statements and policy. In a government of the people, the need to know is critical to maintaining a free and self-governing society. Is the fact that the major media, i.e. Cinema, TV, Radio and Print are owned by just six people and those same people are major holders and cross represented on the boards of major corporations including armament makers and pharmaceutical companies? Why wasn't the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie exposed before the Iraq invasion? Many legitimate questions have been raised by scientists, engineers and architects about 911, why have these issues been addressed by the media? Why are we still involved with the war and occupation in Afghanistan?

Americans want to forget about the tragedy of Vietnam, but the real story of our POW and MIA abandonment still has not ben addressed by the mainstream media. John McCain and
his role in prisoner betrayal has been covered up.

". . .In 2008, John McCain’s heroic war record and personal patriotism were central to his quest for supreme power – a goal he came very close to achieving. But when one of America’s most eminent journalists published an exhaustive report that the candidate had instead served as one of the leading figures in a monumental act of national treachery, our media took no notice. McCain’s public critics and the operatives of his Democratic opponent might eagerly seize upon every rumor that the senator had had a private lunch with a disreputable corporate lobbyist, but they ignored documented claims that he had covered up the killing of hundreds of American POWs. These allegations were serious enough and sufficiently documented to warrant national attention – yet they received none.

. . Following the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the Vietnamese refused to return their French POWs unless Paris agreed to pay financial compensation for the war. The French leaders paid the money and got their men back. Similarly, the Vietnamese refused to return their American POWs unless the U.S. government agreed to pay reparations. Nixon signed a document promising to do exactly that, but the Vietnamese, being cautious, kept many of the POWs back until the money was delivered. Then Congress refused to authorize the funds because “America doesn’t lose wars.” Nixon and later U.S. leaders never acknowledged the fate of these captives lest the American people become outraged. And as the years and decades went by, and various schemes to ransom or rescue the POWs were considered and rejected, their continued existence became a major liability to numerous powerful political figures, whose reputations would have been destroyed if any of the prisoners ever returned and told his story to the American people. So none of them ever came home.

The "owners of our country", as George Carlin described mega wealthy and influential
people, have been and are manipulating our collective destinies for their own self interest.
These individuals remain largely in the background and use others such as Hillary, Barack
or Sarah to front for them. The Powers that be are masters at ridicule, blackmail and deception, and we and our magnificent country are their victims.

With Love and Kindness,


THE HATMAN
