Are kids getting more disturbed and violent?
In the 1940s, Brigadier Gen. S.L.A. Marshall claimed that only 15-20% of America's World War II soldiers would use their weapons in battle.
"Those (80-85%) who did not fire did not run or hide (in many cases they were willing to risk great danger to rescue comrades, get ammunition, or run messages), but they simply would not fire their weapons at the enemy, even when faced with repeated waves of banzai charges” (On Killing, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, p. 4 - The Canadian National Newspaper: Twilight of the Psychopaths )
According to Marshall: the American comes "from a civilization in which aggression, connected with the taking of life, is prohibited and unacceptable….
"The fear of aggression has been expressed to him so strongly and absorbed by him so deeply and pervadingly — practically with his mother’s milk — that it is part of the normal man’s emotional make-up.
"This is his great handicap when he enters combat. It stays his trigger finger even though he is hardly conscious that it is a restraint upon him."
Marshall’s research, and later research, showed that in wars most soldiers are a waste of time, so far as the psychopathic generals and politicians are concerned.
On 1 January 1915, the London Times published a letter from a major reporting that in his sector the British played a game of football against the Germans opposite and were beaten 3-2.
Kurt Zehmisch of the 134th Saxons recorded in his diary: "The English brought a soccer ball from the trenches, and pretty soon a lively game ensued. How marvellously wonderful, yet how strange it was. The English officers felt the same way about it. Thus Christmas, the celebration of Love, managed to bring mortal enemies together as friends for a time."
What has been the reaction of the Pentagon and its friends?
The military has shown violent films to its troops, to toughen them up.
And it may be trying to get kids to watch more violent media.
Anthony Burgess wrote Honey for the Bears, which reportedly is about CIA-funded mind control experiments, of the sort carried out by Dr Ewen Cameron from 1957-63. (Anthony Burgess by Roger Lewis, 2002. Chapter 5).
Anthony Burgess also wrote A Clockwork Orange which is about violence and attempts at mind control. A Clockwork Orange was turned into a film.
Roger Lewis, in his biography Anthony Burgess (Chapter 5), refers to his meeting with a British spy; this spook tells Lewis about the links between A Clockwork Orange and mind control experiments in the USA.
Roger Lewis suggests that Burgess was himself a spy, possibly in the pay of the CIA.
It has been suggested that Hollywood has long been used by the CIA in connection with the brainwashing of the public.

Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange.
"The Vietnamese who were exposed to the chemical have suffered from cancer, liver damage, pulmonary and heart diseases, defects to reproductive capacity, and skin and nervous disorders.
"Children and grandchildren of those exposed have severe physical deformities, mental and physical disabilities, diseases, and shortened life spans.
"The forests and jungles in large parts of southern Vietnam have been devastated and denuded. They may never grow back and if they do, it will take 50 to 200 years to regenerate.
"Animals that inhabited the forests and jungles have become extinct, disrupting the communities that depended on them. The rivers and underground water in some areas have also been contaminated." - Brutal daily reality: agent Orange Continues to Poison Vietnam and ...

Vietnam is one of just four Asian countries expected to expand in 2009, along with China, India and Indonesia. (Vietnam 2009 growth seen at 4.75 percent: IMF )
But, reportedly, Vietnam has its problems in regards to the treatment of women and children.
In 2004, a Taiwanese man tried to sell three Vietnamese women on eBay.
There was a starting bid of $5,400. (Vietnam's global human trafficking an inhuman epidemic)
Glitter- China Confidential: Vietnamese Sex Slaves Kept in Dog Cages

There have been allegations about Ho Chi Minh's sex life. The allegations, by critics of Ho, may or may not be true.
A quote from 'HO CHI MINH'S TRUE COLORS' by Nguyen Minh Can (The Ky 21 Monthly Magazine):
"There is a young girl from the Nung ethnic group in Cao Bang, called Nong Thi Xuan.
"She was brought in to 'serve' Uncle Ho.
"She brought her younger sister Nong Thi Vang and a female cousin with her to Hanoi. Later she had a boy child with Uncle Ho. The boy was named Nguyen Tat Trung. There was also a rumor that she had with him another girl child named Nguyen Thi Trinh.
"Then Mr. Tran Quoc Hoan (Minister of Public Security) raped her at the house in Hang Bong Nhuom, murdered her and covered the crime by fabricating an auto accident on Nhat Tan. After the older sister was killed, the younger sister ran back to Cao Bang and was also be murdered to get rid of the clues. Her cousin could not escape his bloody hands either. Vang's fiancé already wrote a letter to inform against the culprit." - STARTLING DISCLOSURES OF HO CHI MINH'S TRUE COLORS

VIETNAM - What actually happened
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/pilger.php?articleid=4871
John Pilger, in an article entitled 'First, They Attack the Past' writes:
The final declaration of the Geneva conference divided Vietnam "temporarily" until free national elections were held on July 26, 1956.
There was little doubt that Ho Chi Minh would win and form Vietnam's first democratically elected government.
Certainly, President Eisenhower was in no doubt of this. "I have never talked with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs," he wrote, "who did not agree that ... 80 percent of the population would have voted for the communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader."
Not only did the United States refuse to allow the UN to administer the agreed elections two years later, but the "democratic" regime in the south was an invention.

One of the inventors, the CIA official Ralph McGhee, describes in his masterly book Deadly Deceits how a brutal expatriate mandarin, Ngo Dinh Diem, was imported from New Jersey to be "president" and a fake government was put in place. "The CIA," he wrote, "was ordered to sustain that illusion through propaganda [placed in the media]."
Phony elections were arranged, hailed in the West as "free and fair," with American officials fabricating "an 83 percent turnout despite Vietcong terror."
"The terrorists," whom the Americans called the Vietcong, were ... southern Vietnamese defending their homeland against the American invasion and whose resistance was popular. For Vietnam, read Iraq.
And, reportedly, "The day General McArthur signed the peace treaty with Japan half the weapons stored on Okinawa were shipped to Ho Chi Minh and General Giap who met these shipments at the docks of Hai Phong harbor with Lucien Conein, the CIA case officer for Diem."

The USA would be fine if it copied a country like Malta; or Switzerland.
The Maltese and Swiss are generally happy and do not waste money on wars.
The Maltese produce interesting beer and the Swiss make interesting cheese.
But, the USA has allowed itself to be run by people with names like Kissinger and Rockefeller.
What do they make?
Drive out the money lenders.
Matthias Chang, at Global Research, 26 December 2008, wrote: The Shadow Money Lenders: The Real Significance of The Fed’s Zero-Interest-Rate Policy (ZIRP)
Among the points made (and this is a very rough paraphrase):
1. There are people we shall call the shadow money lenders, who make their money from lending money.
Wars, including the 'War on Terror', are launched to preserve the shadow money-lenders' political and military power.
The shadow money lenders are involved in financial manipulation.
They control the political leaders.
2. Central bankers can create money and this gives them power.
When there is large spending on armies and wars, lots of money is involved.
But there is always a danger that the system will collapse if people think that the dollars or pounds they hold have become worthless.
In the 1960s, the Vietnam War led to a fall in the value of the dollar.
3. In the early 1970s, Henry Kissinger got the Saudis and other Arab states to push up the price of oil.
The deal was that the oil had to be bought in dollars and the oil profits invested in the USA.
The dollar was saved for the time being.
4. In the 1980s, it was clear that US manufacturing had been neglected and that the Japanese and the Koreans were often more efficient at making things.
The shadow money lenders decided that industries could move to China and that the profits would be invested in bonds in the USA.
This propped up the dollar.
5. From the 1990s onwards, the shadow money lenders encouraged people to borrow vast sums of money and get deeper and deeper into debt.
Various fancy financial schemes were devised to make things look good.
It was like a giant pyramid scheme or ponzi scheme or 'fraud'.
Some bankers became very, very rich.
A lot of people owed too much money, considering their low incomes.
Imagine a family earning $400 a month and having to pay $500 a month in interest.
6. The bubble has now burst.
7. The interest now paid on US government bonds is almost zero.
So the Chinese, Japanese, Europeans and Arabs who have put vast sums of money into US government bonds are earning virtually no interest and they are seeing the possibility of a big fall in the dollar.
The low interest rate also encourages more borrowing and debt.
8. "The Shadow Money-Lenders and its military partner will impose martial law...
"Soon it will be the nationalization of the big corporations like GE, GM, Ford and Chrysler, all too big to be allowed to fail."
9. Henry Kissinger and others have talked of a New World Order.
10. "The shadow money lenders are in a desperate situation and they will start a world war to avoid the collapse of their system."

In Greece, can we expect yet more extreme events; and then a fascist clamp down, all supported by the CIA and NATO?
Or can we expect victory by the opponents of the right-wing government?
Greece has a 'corrupt' right-wing government and the CIA probably loves them.
The CIA would like the Greek government, or the military, to adopt tough measures to clamp down on government opponents.
The CIA, and its friends, may be behind some of the more extreme events happening today in Greece.
There have been attacks on shops and hotels and even a Christmas tree.
These attacks help to discredit the 'Leftists' and helps to win support for the government.
Gladio 1980
In Greece, there "were reports that a fire from petrol bombs had started in the new archaeological museum, endangering invaluable artifacts from world history...
"The police seem unable or unwilling to react in the face of these extended disturbances"
([Comment] Athens burns and with it a history of democracy EUobserver.com)
The "strategy of tension", run by the CIA and NATO, was aimed at promoting fascism and involved the use agents provocateurs and acts of violence in Europe.
(Baltimore Chronicle, 24 November 2008 - Security Blanket: Western Democracy and the Strategy of Tension)
The Kent State shootings involved the shooting of students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. Four students were killed and nine others were wounded, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[5] Provocative actions by police and agents provocateurs turned anti-war demonstrations in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention into a riot. The Vietnam War continued until 1975.
Operation Gladio was meant to discredit the 'left' and keep the 'right' in power.
Italy's Francesco Cossiga, a former interior minister and former prime minister minister, told the Quotidiano Nazionale:
"Maroni (government minister) should do what I did when I was secretary of the interior. He should withdraw the police from the streets and the universities, infiltrate the movement with secret (provacateurs) agents, ready to do anything, and, for about 10 days, let the demonstrators devastate shops, set fire to cars and lay waste the cities.
"After which, strengthened by popular consent, the sound of ambulance sirens should be louder than the police cars.
"The security forces... shouldn't arrest them, because the magistrates would release them immediately, but they should beat them up. And they should also beat up those teachers who stir them up. Especially the teachers. Not the elderly lecturers, of course, but the young women teachers."
Daniel Ganser's well researched book 'NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe' explains Operation Gladio and the strategy of tension.
Ganser discovered a Pentagon document, Field Manual FM 30-31B, which decribed how agents of the Pentagon could launch 'false flag' terrorist attacks.
The manual states it is bad news when leftist groups "renounce the use of force".
It is then that "US army intelligence must have the means of launching special operations which will convince Host Country Governments and public opinion of the reality of the insurgent danger."
