Truth and Myths About The Vietnam War

I served with the U.S. Army in 1969. On December 14,1969, I was wounded by rocket or mortar fire when our LZ came under attack, one month shy of my 21st birthday. I spent 8 months in army hospitals. I have scars on my right flank, (kidney and liver damage) both arms, both legs, and left foot. A piece of shrapnel tore through my jungle boot, at the base of my toes, almost severing them from my foot. I still consider myself one of the lucky ones to have survived combat in Vietnam. A few years ago I broke a couple of ribs, and a doctor at the hospital asked me what happened, when he saw all the scars. I told him it was from time served in Vietnam. He said it looked like I had been run over by a tank. I didn’t realize only 3 in 10 of us still remain. God bless you all, my brothers. ~ Felix Madison

Smith: Liberty Dies Without Constraints On Government

As I watch Biden and his people in action, moving to break every law they can in pursuit of their illiberal, anti-liberty, anti-American agenda, once more I am stunned by the relative, comparable inaction from the ranks of all who profess to be patriots and defenders of said liberty and the rights of their countrymen. As is so often remarked by many pundits, “Our Founders would already be shooting by now”.

What a disgrace we have in the ranks of today’s Republican Party, as they are a massive part of the problem, too often “going along to get along” and compromising away one more piece of liberty after the next. How any of the statist, globalist Republicans-In-Name-Only still call themselves “American” with a straight face is beyond me. Continue reading

The FBI and CIA Are Enemies of the American People

Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson sat down for a three-hour-plus discussion on the Joe Rogan Show last week, covering everything from UFOs, to religion and artificial intelligence. But perhaps the most important topic they covered was the insidious and dangerous role played by the US regime’s intelligence agencies in America.

Specifically, Carlson suggested the CIA continues to lobby for keeping the JFK files secret, possibly because the CIA had a role in the assassination. Tucker also brought up how the FBI’s second-in-command was responsible for taking down Richard Nixon. Carlson described how intelligence agencies hold immense power within Congress because members of Congress – who are generally disreputable people with many secrets – are terrified of being blackmailed. After all, in a post-Patriot Act world of nearly unrestrained spying by the US regime, there is no privacy in America. Continue reading

Incredible Story of Vietnam War Hero Who Survived 12 Hours Adrift at Sea and Tricked His POW Camp Captors Into Thinking He Was an Illiterate Fool – while secretly memorizing the names of 256 prisoners to tune of Old MacDonald

Douglas B. Hegdahl, 77, is one of the unsung heroes of the Vietnam War

Hegdahl, now 77, secretly memorized the names of 256 American servicemen held prisoner in Vietnam, allowing them to be reclassified from MIA to POW years before the war ended

The captured US Navy sailor known to his North Vietnamese guards as ‘The Incredibly Stupid One‘ had a sneaky trick up his sleeve.

Navy sailor Douglas B. Hegdahl survived for two years in the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison by posing as an illiterate fool

During the Vietnam War, Seaman Apprentice Douglas B. Hegdahl survived for two years in the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison by posing as an illiterate fool, while secretly memorizing the names of 256 American servicemen held there.

Memorized to the tune of ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’, the list of names likely saved many lives, by confirming the men were still alive and putting immense pressure on the North Vietnamese to release them at the war’s end.

Hegdahl, now 77, is living quietly in San Diego, retired after an illustrious career spent teaching at the US Navy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) School at Naval Base Coronado.

A family member told DailyMail.com he is ‘not really interested in attention in general’ and didn’t wish to speak publicly about his harrowing war experience.

But Hegdahl is one of the great unsung heroes of the Vietnam War, and a legend among fellow veterans and former POWs. THIS is his remarkable tale of survival…

Pfizer Agrees to Settle 10,000 Lawsuits Accusing Pharma Giant of Hiding Cancer Risks of Heartburn Drug Zantac

Pfizer has agreed to settle more than 10,000 lawsuits alleging it it of hiding the cancer risks of its heartburn drug Zantac.

The financial details have not been revealed but pharma rival Sanofi agreed to pay more than $100million to resolve 4,000 Zantac-cancer claims last nonth.

The over-the-counter pill was pulled in the US in 2020 after animal studies found a key ingredient released ‘probable human carcinogens’.

Pfizer was the primary manufacturer of Zantac from 1998 to 2006, when several suits claim it should have known that the drug was contaminated with NDMA. Continue reading

Chilling Warning From Border Patrol Agent as He Claims ‘Cartels Control the Border’ NOT the Government

A border patrol agent has claimed that it’s cartels who are in control of the US-Mexico border.

The anonymous agent told Dan Abrams of NewsNation that the US government does not have control of the border, which has fallen into the hands of cartels.

‘The biggest thing is that we do not control the border, the cartel controls the border,’ the agent said. Continue reading

It’s Time to Call it What it Is ~ BULLSHIT!!!

                           Dickens is ANGRY!

I preface this commentary with an expiation for frequently using coarse language and its use in the title. Unfortunately, it’s the one word that encapsulates and concisely captures the essence of my feelings about most governmental, political, social, and economic implications. I don’t want to seem erudite or elite. I am an auto-didactic polymath, committed to the fundamentals of this republic.

I’ve been asked to be more circumspect with my selection of expletives. I will therefore use my acumen with our language and find appropriate expressions going forward and only use imprecation judiciously; as needs must.

If my use of objectionable or offensive words causes you annoyance, I apologize. It is never my intent to aggrieve anyone, I only wish to open closed minds to alternatives and possibilities. Sometimes linguistic shock is the only arrow in the quiver to get the job done. It’s been my experience that when people are shocked by uncomfortable words or deeds, they are often in need of a few disconcerting inferences to awaken them to the harsh realities of a boorish world.

Am I not allowed the same latitude as our government by the first amendment? I don’t misrepresent events or facts intentionally to deceive as they do; my ethics and morals forestall hypocrisy. So, in deference to your sensitivity, I’ll tailor my language to accommodate this request.

I find most of what our government does and says quite repugnant, yet entreaties to stop, go unattended, but I will endeavor to persevere, being more aware of my prose.

Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people. ~ C.R. Dickens

Benson: Even Small Colleges Fully Display Their Marxist Proclivities

It should come as no surprise that colleges and universities, big and small, continue to have their leftist bent on full display. This should be a somber warning to those parents who are considering sending their kids to some of these schools for “higher education.” You’d be better off sending the kids to a vocational school to learn a trade of some kind. Most colleges and universities do not provide real education. They, like most K-12 public schools, provide leftist indoctrination, because the true intent is not to educate but to indoctrinate the kids in a leftist worldview, which they will pass on to their kids. Continue reading

Smith: We Are Hamas Terrorists… Errr… “Protestors”

It’s extremely troubling to witness the current ascendancy of anti-Semitism in America, a nation that is supposedly founded on the First Amendment principles of freedom of religion and free speech. No people should be treated the way the Jews have been treated in the past few months, for decades really, in modern times, not even Muslims. And yet here we are witnessing Arab Muslims and their supporters, self-proclaimed “Hamas”, screaming for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people and America too.

Many will toss my own extreme prejudices against Islam back at me, but that’s just fine. I have no problem with individual Muslims who truly live peaceful lives as nominal Muslims and have fully integrated into our society, although I still must note that per their ideology, they are only peaceful until they’re not – until a fatwa goes out to activate them from some imam or mullah, which is why I have long been opposed to allowing anymore Muslims into the country. I would also note that Islam is less a true religion, with only 14% of the Koran having anything remotely close to resembling spiritual concerns and the rest aimed at how to deal with the infidels, Christians, Jews and other non-believers; it is an ideology driven by its supremacy clause and aimed at subjugating and taking all within its line of sight and reach.

Benjamin Franklin Wrote an Essay About Farting In 1781… and his reason is truly CHUCKLESOME

C’mon now… Let’s start off the week with a laugh for a change. We ALL need it! ~ Editor

In his essay, Benjamin Franklin requested experts to find a way to make the farts ‘not only inoffensive but agreeable as perfumes.’

     Engraved portrait of a younger Benjamin Franklin by HB Hall, 1868. From the New York Public Library.

In 1780s, Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, wrote an essay that showed he had perfectly mastered the art of sarcasm. The topic of the essay was important scientifically – flatulence, or as many call it, farting – but it came with a touch of humor. The reason why he chose the amusing topic was a question posed by the Royal Academy of Brussels, which was formed in 1772. In its early years, the academy organized several intellectual contests for which it devised questions and awarded medals. The questions were believed to be intellectually important, having a ‘practical value.’ However, in 1799, the academy presented one mathematical question which Benjamin Franklin found ridiculous. In response to it, he wrote the essay, which is famously known as “To the Royal Academy of Farting” or “Fart Proudly.” Continue reading

Hunter: UN Plans Tyrannical Future for You

Award-winning journalist Alex Newman, author of the popular book “Deep State” and the new best-selling book called “Indoctrinating Our Children to Death,” says the UN’s quest for total tyrannical control of your life is coming sooner than you could imagine. Newman explains, “The bigger story here that people are not paying attention to is the UN is coming together in September . . . and they are having ‘The Summit of the Future.’ They are telling us they are going to bring out radical drastic reforms in the structure of the UN . . . and the power of the UN. Think of it as the biggest power grab ever at the global level.

The Secretary General of the UN (António Guterres) has put out briefs where he is calling for the UN to be the one world global dictatorship with him at the helm. In emergencies, the UN would have all power in emergencies and have all power to oversee emergency response. . . . Continue reading

The Ruins That Could Prove the Bible Was TRUE

Stretch of wall in ancient Jerusalem vindicates the holy book’s account

The stretch of wall, at the eastern slopes of the City of David, was long assumed to be built by Hezekiah, King of Judah

A scientific breakthrough has exposed the truth about a site in ancient Jerusalem, overturning expert opinion and vindicating the Bible’s account.

Until now, experts believed a stretch of wall in the original heart of the city was built by Hezekiah, King of Judah, whose reign straddled the seventh and eighth centuries BC. Continue reading

Fagan: The Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations

It is up to you and you, all of the American people, to force Congress, our elected servants, to haul in those American traitors for impeachments and that when proven guilty; they all be given the punishment prescribed for traitors who aid and abet our enemies.”

THEY live among us still…

The question of how and why the United Nations is the crux of the great conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of the United States and the enslavement of the American people within a U.N. one-world dictatorship is a complete and unknown mystery to the vast majority of the American people. The reason for this unawareness of the frightening danger to our country and to the entire free world is simple. The masterminds behind this great conspiracy have absolute control of all of our mass communications media, especially television, the radio, the press, and Hollywood.

We all know that our State Department, the Pentagon, and the White House have brazenly proclaimed that they have the right and the power to manage the news, to tell us not the truth but what they want us to believe. They have seized that power on orders from their masters of the great conspiracy and the objective is to brainwash the people into accepting the phony peace bait to transform the United States into an enslaved unit of the United Nations’ one-world government.

Cast a Giant Shadow ~ The Journey of the Khazars

“Because of the long and varied history of the Jews, it is difficult to define a Jew. There is no such thing as a Jewish race. Jewish identity is a mixture of religious, historical, and ethnic factors.” Thus, those who might have truly claimed to be of the genealogy of Abraham and of true Semitic origin became extinct as a discernible race, being replaced by the white Khazars of the Transcaucasus, none of whose ancestors, as Benjamin Freedman phrases it, have ever placed a foot in the land of Palestine. (2001 edition of World Book Encyclopedia).

This causes a serious problem with modern Christianity’s infatuation with the Jews and their “return to their Homeland,” begging the question: How can one return to a place where they have never been?

There is enough of a history lesson here to put the entire ‘Jewish’ question to rest for the next millennium. We’ll trace the roots of Judaism back thousands of years to its’ roots. What is a ‘Jew’, an Israelite and a Zionist? Let’s get to the bottom of this once and for all…

I have been a student of history for most of my life and what you are about to read was discovered by me back in February of 2002 from a website that I visited quite often. Two weeks after I copied the following text – the website was shut down – more than likely for reasons that some readers will understand. One must understand that this thing called ‘Truth‘ must not be told.

In April 3rd and 4th of 2002 I broadcast the following in a two-hour presentation on my program Perspectives on America on WWCR – World Wide Christian Radio. At the end of this presentation you will find audio links to each of the hours, so that you may have access to the original audio presentation at your discretion.

You may not agree with what I have posted – but it’s well worth your time… regardless of your personal opinions or points of view – but I believe that you will be fascinated by history – and where it is taking us!

Columbia University Is Looking Like a Terrorist Training Camp

Columbia, Yale, and NYU are nothing compared to the violence and radicalism that the medieval University of Frankfurt reached in the 1500s.

Violence and chaos had become a major problem at nearly all universities across central Europe – especially the German ones – ever since Martin Luther had famously published his Ninety-Five Theses in the year 1517. Continue reading

The Partisan Wars – and then There Was One

The United States of America: (1776 – 2021)

‘‘So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death . . .’’

The United States of America, as a republic, was a battleground from its inception, ruptured by partisan politicians, consumed by cultist political dogma, whose myopic goals of apotheosis (elevating a person to the rank of god) and control, became all consuming.

The republic and average citizens are casualties in this war. There are no safe spaces or places, and everyone is affected, effected, impacted, injured, and involved by the actions of the cohort of elected representatives whose deeds have destroyed the republic they swore a sacred oath to protect.

Editor of Federal Observer is pissed off….

…and you should be too if you know what’s good for you!

       Jeffrey Bennett, Publisher

Dateline October 16, 2001; 1:49 (EDT)‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ That’s it! I’m finished – finished with all of the stupidity and apathy in this nation! Alright, we’ve been kicked – but we’re not down! But dammit, when is America and her sheople going to wake up to that fact? If this is war – then let’s start acting like it!

No, I don’t mean by running back to the movies and the ball games – although all of us need a break – I mean by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps (if you young punks even know what I’m talking about) and getting about the business of BEING Americans! Stop the whining and the sniveling – and stop being so damned self centered. The media has done this to you and you have layed down in the ‘Strawberry Fields’ for what seems like forever – that you can’t even get up because TV and the talking heads have ruled your lives for so long – that you have become brain-dead. Pull the life support for Heaven’s sake. Cut the umbilical cord to the damned government and stand up on your own two feet. Continue reading

DeWeese: The Chinese Threat to Local Communities is Real

Do the citizens of a community have a right to take action to oppose the establishment of businesses that will negatively affect their way of life – especially if it’s a foreign source? And why are elected representatives ignoring the very people who put them in office to protect their rights? These are questions that need to be asked as every city, town, and rural area face a growing threat. Continue reading

the American Revolution ~ A Declaration of Independence for Our Life and Times

“We are called as a people, to give testimony, in the sight of the world, to our faith that the future shall belong to the free – for history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower – Washington, D.C., January 20, 1953

the American Revolution

We had our American Revolution over two centuries ago and the years have done something to it. The legends remain, and the statues and the grassy earthworks and the great body of tradition, but a good deal of the reality has been filtered out – revised! When we look back to see Washington crossing the Delaware on a cold winter night, or kneeling in prayer in the snow of Valley Forge; we see the Minutemen, or a lanky Virginian rifleman picturesque in fringed buckskin; but somehow it all seems out of a pageant, and neither Washington nor the men who followed him quite come alive for us.

Whose Land Is It? Palestine Or Israel?

A Documentary Looks At This Issue With Old Footage

In the arid lands where the whispers of ancient prophets still echo through the windswept deserts and time-worn stones, a tumultuous tapestry of conflict has been woven, thread by bloody thread. Welcome to the embattled realms of Israel, a land revered as hallowed ground by billions, yet also a tumultuous theater of ceaseless strife and heart-wrenching warfare. From the gritty struggles of the 1947 to 1949 Palestine war, ensnaring figures like David Ben-Gurion and King Abdullah I, to the formidable shadows cast by the titans of conflict such as Gamal Abdel Nasser during the fraught days of the Six-Day War in 1967.

Smith: The Blatant Betrayal of America

“I’m an ordinary guy burning down the house. Hold tight. Wait ’til the party’s over. Hold tight. We’re in for nasty weather. There has got to be a way, burning down the house.” ~ Joe Biden [just kiddin’ – lyrics from ‘Burning Down the House‘ by Talking Heads]

After watching the recent deal to fund both wars in Ukraine and Israel and even send aid to Hamas terrorists, without offering a hint at securing America’s borders, no one should be under any illusions that Republicans or a knight in shining armor are coming to save them, their families and America from the current destructive malaise that’s been allowed to overtake our country. We’re in deep shit up to our eyeballs and the fog isn’t lifting anytime soon that has so clouded the minds of so many of – I hate to even call them this – “our countrymen”, although I sure as hell don’t claim the damned sorry exceedingly stupid rat bastards.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans bring their own particular brand of betrayal to the table, as we recently saw Congress refuse to hold Mayorkas accountable for his high treason regarding our border security and the Democrats refuse to call his intentional malfeasance for the felony that it is. But not to be outdone, Speaker Johnson seemed unwilling to actually do the right thing and refuse to move funding for Ukraine and Israel until the federal government was compelled to stop this invasion by illegal aliens.
