I got an email. It was about a film that someone - I will call her X - helped fund, on the anti-Vietnam war protests. I answered - an answer I am sure she was not expecting, about truths I am sure she had not considered. Why write of this to you? I believe in doing what one can. In this case, I wanted to break the psy-op bubble this person was still living within - the bubble within which the protests to end the Vietnam war were a good thing, without considering what it meant, to let Ho Ho Ho the Horrible take over Vietnam, without considering the thousands upon thousands of boat people who risked death - and often died - in an attempt to escape the coming Communist “repression.” Repression - what a soft word for the death of one to two million Vietnamese after the Communist takeover. (The figure is from online research from several years ago.)
Right on Elsa, I'm afraid we have to revisit a lot of our beliefs, and maybe second guess some of the material that is currently presented to us, especially the push for compliance, the frictionless agenda, one could establish some parameters on how to decipher the different layers of lies, easier said than done. Thank you Elsa for your critical thinking!
And I loved "I think of something said by a long-ago baseball star: You miss 100% of the balls you don’t swing at. This is a ball I have swung at." Very inspiring.
