TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8175GUERRA DEL VIETNAM: NEL 50° ANNIVERSARIO SFATIAMO 4 FALSI MITI di Stefano Magni Chi controlla il passato controlla il presente, chi controlla il presente controlla il futuro. Così scriveva George Orwell nel suo famigerato romanzo di fanta-politica "1984". E a giudicare da come viene raccontata la guerra del Vietnam, i marxisti controllano il passato.Un'opera di riscrittura della storia ha avuto pienamente successo ed oggi, 30 aprile, giorno del 50esimo anniversario della caduta di Saigon, noi "sappiamo", o almeno crediamo di sapere, nozioni come: "gli americani hanno invaso il Vietnam", "i vietnamiti si sono liberati con una guerra di popolo", "gli americani hanno combattuto una sporca guerra" e "l'esercito americano ha perso contro gli insorti vietnamiti".Prima di tutto, gli americani non hanno mai invaso il Vietnam. Dopo la cacciata dei francesi, nel 1954, il Vietnam, esattamente come la Corea, venne diviso in due. Una zona Nord, comunista, una zona Sud nazionalista. Il 17mo parallelo divenne un "confine", o meglio una linea di demarcazione temporanea, protetta da una fascia demilitarizzata (Dmz).L'EPURAZIONEIl Nord era dominato dai comunisti di Ho Chi Minh, il Sud dai nazionalisti di Cao Bai, a cui ben presto subentrò il dittatore Ngo Dinh Diem. In teoria si sarebbero dovute tenere elezioni comuni per riunificare il Paese sotto un unico governo democraticamente eletto, ma il Sud rifiutò. Al Nord, infatti, i comunisti avevano fatto subito piazza pulita, non solo dei partiti non comunisti, ma anche dei comunisti non sufficientemente allineati, dei contadini "ricchi", dei contadini "medi", dei collaboratori o di chiunque fosse stato accusato di collaborazione dei francesi e dei loro parenti.Una mattanza, in perfetto stile staliniano che, dal 1954 al 1959, costò al popolo nordvietnamita centinaia di migliaia di morti, soprattutto durante la campagna di collettivizzazione forzata delle terre. Un milione di nordvietnamiti approfittò del breve periodo concordato di apertura della Dmz per scappare al Sud. Al Nord invece non ci volle andare nessuno, se non circa diecimila guerriglieri comunisti (Viet Cong) che rischiavano l'arresto. In quelle condizioni era chiaro che non si potessero tenere libere elezioni comuni nel Nord e nel Sud.RIUNIFICAZIONE CON LA FORZAFinché il Vietnam del Nord non decise di riunificare il Paese con la forza. La guerra americana iniziò nel 1964 con la Risoluzione del Tonkino, ma la guerra in Vietnam incominciò più di cinque anni prima, precisamente nel gennaio 1959, quando il XV Congresso del Comitato Centrale del partito comunista nordvietnamita decise di "porre fine" al regime del Sud.Non con un'invasione convenzionale, come aveva fatto la Corea del Nord, ma con una lenta e costante infiltrazione di soldati regolari e di guerriglieri nel Sud. La guerra incominciò con una serie di attentati terroristici, soprattutto ai danni di giudici, ufficiali di polizia, capi villaggio, leader partitici e sindacali anticomunisti.Poi si passò alla guerriglia vera e propria, con la conquista dei villaggi e delle zone rurali. Per trasferire in sicurezza uomini, armi ed equipaggiamenti, il Vietnam del Nord violò la neutralità di Laos e Cambogia, costituendo nei loro territori basi ("santuari" dove non potevano essere attaccati dai sudvietnamiti) e pezzi della "pista di Ho Chi Minh", una serie di strade mimetizzate nella giungla.Il generale Vo Nguyen Giap, che aveva battuto i francesi nella guerra di indipendenza, pian pianino erose anche tutto il Vietnam del Sud. Giunti al 1964, 41 province su 44 erano nelle mani dei comunisti, al regime del Sud rimaneva soltanto la capitale Saigon e poco altro.Gli americani, in tutto questo periodo, avevano limitato il loro intervento all'invio di armi e consiglieri militari. L'azione politica più eclatante l'aveva condotta il presidente Kennedy, ma a Saigon: appoggiando il golpe contro Diem, un regime change per instaurare la democrazia nel Sud.L'INTERVENTO USAL'amministrazione Johnson, in un anno elettorale, intervenne direttamente dopo che il Sud era quasi del tutto nelle mani dei comunisti. Intervenne all'ultimo minuto per salvare un alleato dal precipizio. Le navi americane, che assistevano il Sud, erano sottoposte a uno stillicidio di agguati da parte dei nordvietnamiti.Uno di questi attacchi, il lancio di un siluro contro un caccia nel Golfo del Tonkino (un evento su cui sussistono tuttora dubbi), diede a Johnson la possibilità di portare la questione vietnamita in Congresso e ottenere l'autorizzazione per un intervento diretto. Ma non chiamatala "invasione": quando gli americani arrivarono a Saigon con le loro prime truppe, il Sud era già invaso dal Nord da cinque anni.GUERRA CONTRO IL POPOLOIl mito della guerra di popolo contro gli americani è un altro prodotto della costante riscrittura della storia. I comunisti, ovunque prendessero il controllo, imponevano il loro regno del terrore. Gli attentati proseguirono e iniziarono i massacri. I metodi erano quelli staliniani dello sterminio per quota: in ogni regione occupata, in ogni città, in ogni villaggio, i nordvietnamiti stabilivano una percentuale di popolazione da uccidere e la uccidevano.I Servizi di Sicurezza dei Vietcong stilavano liste nere che poi venivano regolarmente trovate nelle tasche dei soldati e degli ufficiali nordvietnamiti. Quando, nel 1968, i comunisti occuparono Hue, scatenarono uno dei più grandi massacri della guerra. Gli americani, quando riconquistarono la città, trovarono 19 fosse comuni piene di corpi: uccisi con un colpo di pistola, decapitati, torturati fino alla morte, o sepolti vivi.Nelle liste nere dei Viet Cong e dei nordvietnamiti entrava un po' di tutto: chi era nella polizia e nell'esercito del Sud, i loro parenti (un ottantenne fu sepolto vivo a Hue perché il nipote era nell'esercito), chiunque venisse accusato di aver collaborato con gli americani, gli attivisti non comunisti, i cattolici, i buddisti, i comunisti trotzkisti, i comunisti "recalcitranti".Oppure chiunque dovesse essere ucciso per fare numero, per rispettare le quote stabilite dal partito, sulla base di calcoli basati sulla lotta di classe (tot percentuale di borghesi, tot di contadini ricchi, ecc...). I nordvietnamiti non rispettarono neppure i campi profughi, né le colonne di profughi in fuga: anzi, li attaccavano deliberatamente per infondere terrore, per non fare sentire nessuno al sicuro. Minavano le strade e i campi, per impedire il movimento dei civili e dei militari.Non si facevano problemi a farsi scudo dei civili, quando dovevano presidiare un villaggio. Quella dei comunisti nordvietnamiti non fu una guerra "di popolo", ma contro il popolo. Lo dimostra la grande fuga dei sudvietnamiti, anche dopo la guerra: il popolo che fuggì via mare, con mezzi disperati, quello dei "boat people" in cerca di salvezza dall'inferno rosso che si era instaurato anche a Saigon.UNA SPORCA GUERRAEppure quella del Vietnam passa per essere la "sporca guerra" degli americani. Sì, gli americani commisero crimini di guerra: bombardarono a tappeto, uccisero prigionieri e compirono anche massacri deliberati di civili come nel celebre caso del villaggio di My Lai. C'è però una differenza fondamentale fra i crimini americani e nordvietnamiti, quantitativa e qualitativa.Quantitativa, prima di tutto: il grosso dei crimini commessi dagli Alleati fu ad opera dei sudvietnamiti (che combattevano con una logica da guerra civile) e da altri contingenti, soprattutto i sudcoreani. I crimini americani, in sé, provocarono un numero relativamente ridotto di vittime, stimato fra le 6 e le 10 mila (nella letteratura anti-Usa si legge spesso di un "genocidio" americano in Vietnam, con oltre un milione di vittime civili, ma è solo propaganda, perché un milione è il numero complessivo di vittime di tutta la guerra, da tutte le parti).I crimini nordvietnamiti provocarono un numero di vittime incommensurabilmente superiore: 216 mila vittime di cui 50 mila nelle purghe interne al Vietnam del Nord e 166 mila civili assassinati nel Sud (venne ucciso un sudvietnamita su cento, in rapporto alla popolazione totale), secondo i calcoli di Rummel.Fu anche una differenza qualitativa notevole. Gli americani colpirono civili durante le operazioni militari, soprattutto nei bombardamenti aerei... ma anche perché i nordvietnamiti combattevano deliberatamente in mezzo ai civili.I massacri di civili nei villaggi occupati o le uccisioni dei prigionieri, benché si tentasse di insabbiarle, erano comunque punite dalla legge americana. Chi commetteva quei crimini era consapevole di essere fuori legge. Al contrario, i crimini nordvietnamiti erano pianificati e ordinati dai vertici ed eseguiti dalle truppe. Le liste nere dei civili da assassinare erano parte degli ordini militari assegnati alle singole unità in guerra.SCONFITTA USA?Infine, c'è da chiedersi: davvero gli americani persero la guerra? Ogni singola battaglia venne vinta dalle forze americane e alleate. L'Offensiva del Tet, di inizio 1968, fu la più grande vittoria americana: in una sola campagna vennero inferti ai nordvietnamiti colpi senza precedenti: circa 45 mila morti, al prezzo di 1.500 caduti americani e quasi 3 mila sudvietnamiti.Eppure, passa alla storia come "punto di svolta" dopo il quale il presidente Johnson si arrese e decise di iniziare il disimpegno, poi proseguito e portato a termine dal successore repubblicano Richard Nixon. Il Vietnam fu la prima guerra vinta dai militari,

History, Marshall Poe wrote in December 2023, shows that Israel will never win a “war of occupation”. Eighteen months later, with Israel on the brink of a full scale occupation of Gaza, Poe's argument is even more relevant. the Gaza war, the historian warns, is turning into Israel's Vietnam - an unwinnable occupation that will only bring shame on the invaders. Trust Poe on the Vietnam analogy. His last book was about the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam, so he's all too familiar with the catastrophic consequences of imperial wars of counter-insurgency. Five Takeaways * Counterinsurgency operations typically evolve into prolonged occupations, as forces cannot easily identify and eliminate insurgents without alienating the local population.* Military occupations historically fail when the entire civilian population becomes hostile to occupying forces, leading to ethical compromises and potential atrocities.* The My Lai massacre in Vietnam exemplifies how poor intelligence and leadership can result in civilian casualties when soldiers cannot distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.* Population relocation, a strategy being discussed for Gaza, has historically been catastrophic whenever attempted in the 20th century.* The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has limited viable solutions, with Poe suggesting the two-state solution is no longer realistic and expressing skepticism that external powers like the US can resolve the situation.Marshall Tillbrook Poe is an American historian, writer, editor, and founder of the New Books Network, an online collection of podcast interviews with a wide range of nonfiction authors. He has taught Russian, European, Eurasian, and world history at various universities including Harvard, Columbia, University of Iowa, and, currently, the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

A Psychoanalytic Study of Political Leadership in the United States and Russia: Searching for Truth (Routledge, 2024) provides psychoanalytic insight into the motives of this complex and contradictory topic. The chapters written by the editor of this book focus on the importance of truth-telling and evidence as it relates to presidents of the United States. She studied the way in which some of these leaders have failed to tell the American people the truth about the Maddox incident, Abu Ghraib, the Iran-Contra affair, My Lai, and the real reasons why atomic bombs were detonated in Japan. In the process of uncovering lies, over time this process has eroded trust in our leaders. She also explains epistemic trust which refers to the trust we place in others as sources of knowledge and information. It is a fundamental aspect of how we learn and understand the world, relying on the belief that the knowledge we receive from others is reliable and truthful. It plays a crucial role in various contexts, including education, science, with the media, and in everyday interpersonal interactions. The other contributors, from different professional and academic backgrounds, use a range of methods including quantitative research and literary analysis to shed light on Putin's background, outlook and current actions. Reflecting a range of perspectives on how Putin's background may have informed his beliefs and his actions, particularly with respect to the invasion of Ukraine, the book brings together diverse viewpoints. A Psychoanalytic Study of Political Leadership in the United States and Russia will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and to readers seeking to understand the complex dynamics of populist leadership.

Kiedy patologiczne posłuszeństwo wobec przełożonych prowadzi do tragedii - jak podczas katastrofy elektrowni jądrowej w Czarnobylu, kiedy załoga prowadziła test reaktora, nie bacząc na liczne sygnały ostrzegawcze. Albo podczas masakry w My Lai, która stała się najsłynniejszą zbrodnią popełnioną przez Amerykanów w Wietnamie. To druga część naszej opowieści o katastrofach, które nazwaliśmy “Milgramowskimi”.W odcinku 86 rozmawialiśmy o słynnym eksperymencie Milgrama z psychologiem prof. Tomaszem Grzybem, który bada ludzką skłonność do ulegania autorytetom, ale i buntowania się. A w odcinku 88 opowiadaliśmy o katastrofach lotniczych wywołanych przez uległość wobec przełożonych. Opisywane przez nas tragedie potwierdzają słuszność wniosków płynących z eksperymentu Milgrama, które mówią, że ludzie są z natury posłuszni osobom wyższym rangą, nawet jeśli stoi to w sprzeczności z ich zasadami, zdrowym rozsądkiem albo wręcz zagraża ich życiu.Jeśli Wam się spodoba, rozważcie wsparcie nas na Patronite - dzięki Waszym wpłatom będziemy mogli utrzymać cotygodniowy rytm ukazywania się nowych odcinków: https://patronite.pl/crazynaukaJeśli wolisz jednorazowo postawić nam kawę, to super.

Send us a textEpisode 166Hugh Thompson Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1943. He grew up with a strong sense of right and wrong, nurtured by his upbringing in a small Southern town. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and then the Army, eventually becoming a helicopter pilot with the rank of Warrant Officer. By 1968, Thompson was stationed in Vietnam, flying reconnaissance missions and transporting wounded soldiers from the battlefield.Now, let's fast forward to March 16, 1968—the day of the My Lai Massacre. Thompson's mission that day was to provide air support for a ground assault in the village of My Lai. As he circled above, Thompson began to notice disturbing scenes below: bodies of unarmed villagers lying in ditches, huts on fire, and soldiers firing indiscriminately into crowds of civilians. He quickly realized this wasn't a battle against Viet Cong forces; it was a massacre.Horrified by what he was witnessing, Thompson made the unprecedented decision to intervene, even if it meant going against his fellow soldiers. He ordered his helicopter crew to land between the American troops and the remaining villagers. In an extraordinary act of bravery, he then got out and confronted the platoon, which was led by Lieutenant William Calley, the officer directly responsible for the massacre. Thompson demanded they stop the killing immediately.Risking his own life and career, Thompson instructed his crew to cover him with their weapons as he approached the villagers. He also radioed for backup to evacuate the surviving Vietnamese civilians. Thanks to his actions, around 11 villagers were saved from imminent death.Following the massacre, Thompson was vocal about what he'd seen and reported it to his superiors. But instead of receiving commendation, he faced a harsh backlash. Military officials tried to downplay the massacre, and for years, Thompson's reputation suffered. He was criticized, ostracized, and, at one point, even received death threats.Despite the challenges, Thompson never backed down from telling the truth. Years later, after investigations brought the horrors of My Lai to public attention, the U.S. government recognized Thompson's actions as heroic. In 1998, three decades after the massacre, he was awarded the Soldier's Medal, the highest honor for bravery not involving direct enemy action.Thompson's story is one of incredible moral courage. He was a man willing to stand against his own comrades in defense of what was right, even in the face of immense pressure. By risking his life and career, Thompson saved others and bore witness to an atrocity the world needed to know about. He later said that what he did wasn't brave—it was just the right thing to do.Hugh Thompson Jr. reminds us that even in war, humanity and justice should never be abandoned. His life serves as a powerful example of moral integrity, proving that one person's courage can make a difference, even in the bleakest of times.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit rajeevsrinivasan.substack.comIn all humility, I accept that my endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of POTUS doesn't make a difference, but I think it's important for me to articulate why I think Trump is the better choice for all concerned. On the one hand, there are the purely objective factors: economic policies, foreign policy, immigration, and so on. On the other hand, there are the subjective factors: who I personally think is good for the US and for India, the only two countries, lets' face it, that I care about. The subjective factors are the ones that matter, I suspect, and my views are shaped by my own personal history. I grew up in an India that looked up to America; many houses had framed photos on their walls that showed a young John Kennedy walking with Nehru in the Rose Garden of the White House; as a food-deficit country we awaited the PL-480 shipments of foodgrains, so much so that cornflour in Malayalam is called ‘American maavu' or flour. I remember as a child when Marilyn Monroe died, and John Kennedy, and I listened to the Voice of America coming in on shortwave radio from, I think, Mauritius; I went to the nearby US Information Center to see an exhibit of moon rocks; my father's PhD thesis was on John Steinbeck; I read SPAN magazine that showed a sanitized picture of life in the US that was aspirational.In college, I devoured information about America, reading Time and Newsweek magazines. I went to the US consulate in Chennai to use the library; and my beloved professor Anthony Reddy, seeing our collective obsession with the US, referred to it as “God's own country” (this was before Amitabh Kant as tourism secretary propagated that moniker for Kerala, and in any case I believed that my two homes – Kerala and California – were indeed God's own countries, at least before systematic rot set in).America permeated our consciousness. Those were the days before TV, and so American soap operas were not yet available in India, but American films were, and I still remember watching many of them. It was our Saturday ritual in the open-air theater. Do I remember many of them? No, but a few, like “Guns of Navarone”, “Death Wish”, still stand out. No, not exactly highbrow, but they left an impression. So did reading William Faulkner, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, Tennessee Williams, and even “The Exorcist”. Nixon and Kissinger and their decision to send the 7th Fleet into the Bay of Bengal to intimidate India in 1971, and the shenanigans of Watergate, plus their  coverup of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, gave me the impression that Republicans were not to be trusted and that they were the bad guys, as compared to the Democrats: I remembered the two Kennedy assassinations.

I discuss the slaughter of over 500 unarmed men, women and children in My Lai in March 1968 by American soldiers. In concert with the Tet Offensive in 1968, this was the end of American arms in Vietnam. The collision of barbarism, toxic leadership and moral injury make everyone of these pages bleed. One of the most searing indictments of American arms you will read. This book is an acquired taste because it may crush your soul.

In our latest, we talk about the American empire and it's dissenters. We get into the anniversaries of the My Lai massacre, the murder of activist Rachel Corrie in Gaza, the Vietnam era self-immolation of Alice Herz and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. We also talk about who's (literally) fueling the Israeli war machine. -------------------- Outro- "That Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven" by John Prine Links +Revealed: How the global oil industry is fueling Israel's war on Gaza (https://bit.ly/3IOKFhu) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ekY2AQ4d) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

On March 16, 1968, members of the United States Army carried out a mass murder against unarmed Vietnamese civilians. They killed 504 people. Two hundred and ten of the murder victims were under the age of 13. Afterward, military leadership did their best to cover up the massacre. They didn't anticipate that a few brave people would tell the truth. And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “My Lai” episode of American Experience “My Lai Massacre” by Douglas O. Linder for famous trials.com “My Lai Massacre,” entry on Britannica.com “The truth behind My Lai,” by Christopher J.

21 Bài Học Cho Thế Kỷ 21 # Chương 3: Tự do Chương 3 — Tự Do Về Dân Chủ và Bỏ Phiếu Harari chia sẻ trích dẫn sau: "Bạn cũng có thể gọi là một cuộc trưng cầu dân ý trên toàn quốc để quyết định xem Einstein đã hiểu đúng về đại số của mình hay không." Tuy nhiên, ông tiếp tục cho rằng, muốn tốt hay xấu, bầu cử và cuộc trưng cầu dân ý không phải về những gì chúng ta nghĩ. Chúng ta nghĩ về những gì chúng ta cảm nhận. Winston Churchill đã nổi tiếng nói rằng 'dân chủ là hệ thống chính trị tồi nhất trên thế giới, ngoại trừ tất cả những hệ thống khác'. Đúng hoặc sai, mọi người có thể đạt đến cùng một kết luận về dữ liệu lớn và các thuật toán có thể đến để điều hành thế giới. Chúng có thể có rất nhiều lỗi nhưng chúng ta không có phương án tốt hơn. ‘Sự Thật' Gần đây trong một tập của podcast của Sam Harris, Harris và nhà tâm lý học Jordan Peterson tranh luận về định nghĩa của sự thật có vẻ như vô tận. Harari đặt nó một cách đơn giản; sự thật ngày nay được định nghĩa bởi các kết quả hàng đầu của tìm kiếm trên Google. Về các thuật toán dữ liệu lớn, khi chúng ta bắt đầu phụ thuộc vào trí tuệ nhân tạo để quyết định điều gì để nghiên cứu, nơi làm việc và kết hôn với ai, các cuộc bầu cử dân chủ và thị trường tự do sẽ không còn ý nghĩa nhiều nữa. Tâm lý học và Trí Tuệ Nhân Tạo trong Chiến Tranh Vào ngày 16 tháng 3 năm 1968, một công ty lính Mỹ đã trở nên điên cuồng ở làng My Lai, Việt Nam và tàn sát khoảng 400 dân thường. Tội ác chiến tranh này đã được khởi xướng bởi lực lượng Mỹ đã tham gia vào cuộc chiến đấu rừng nhiều tháng. Đó là một sai lầm của cảm xúc con người. Nếu Mỹ có những con robot giết người ở Việt Nam, thảm sát sẽ không bao giờ xảy ra. Tuy nhiên, nếu Mỹ có những con robot giết người, cuộc chiến có thể kéo dài nhiều năm hơn vì chính phủ Mỹ sẽ lo lắng ít hơn về tinh thần của binh sĩ hoặc các cuộc biểu tình phản chiến lớn. Các công ty ngày nay không chỉ làm nhiều hơn với ít hơn, như Netflix, với khoảng 5.000 nhân viên có vốn hóa thị trường hơn 60 tỷ USD so với Blockbuster chỉ có 60.000 nhân viên nhưng chỉ có thể có vốn hóa thị trường cao nhất là 5 tỷ USD. Những lợi ích này mở rộng sang lĩnh vực chiến tranh. Ngày nay, mỗi khi người Palestine gọi điện thoại hoặc đăng bài trên Facebook hoặc đi từ một nơi này đến nơi khác, họ có thể bị giám sát bởi các micro và camera của Israel, drone và phần mềm. Dữ liệu được phân tích với sự giúp đỡ của các thuật toán giúp lực lượng an ninh Israel xác định và sử dụng các mối đe dọa tiềm ẩn. Do đó, rất dễ dàng cho một số binh sĩ Israel kiểm soát khoảng hai triệu và nửa dân Palestine. Các thuật toán và Tài chính Cá nhân Khi bạn nộp đơn xin vay tiền tại ngân hàng của mình, có khả năng đơn của bạn được xử lý bởi một thuật toán thay vì một con người. Ngân hàng có thể từ chối cho bạn một món vay và bạn hỏi tại sao và ngân hàng trả lời, "Thuật toán nói không". Bạn hỏi, "tại sao thuật toán nói không, tôi có vấn đề gì?" Ngân hàng trả lời "chúng tôi không biết, không có con người nào hiểu thuật toán vì nó dựa trên học máy tiên tiến nhưng chúng tôi tin tưởng vào thuật toán của chúng tôi nên chúng tôi sẽ không cho bạn mượn tiền". yt.io.vn

REDIFFUSION Il est bien rare que, dans un conflit, les lois de la guerre soient toujours respectées. La guerre du Vietnam n'échappe pas à la règle. Elle connut en effet un affreux carnage, le massacre de My lai. My Lai est un paisible village. Quand des soldats américains l'investissent, le 16 mars 1968, il n'est peuplé que de vieillards, de femmes et d'enfants. Pourtant, la section du lieutenant William Calley croyait y trouver des Viet-Congs. C'est alors que les soldats, sur l'ordre de leur chef, entreprennent une tuerie méthodique. À coups de fusil, ou de baïonnette, ils massacrent sans pitié les femmes et les enfants qu'ils trouvent. Certains soldats refusent cependant de participer au massacre. Un officier, arrivé sur les lieux en hélicoptère, ordonne même de faire feu sur les criminels. Malgré tout, entre 350 et 500 habitants sont sauvagement assassinés. Comment des soldats ont-ils pu en arriver à un tel degré de barbarie ? Certains l'expliquent par les lourdes pertes essuyées par la compagnie dont l'une des sections a perpétré le massacre. En quelques mois, elle aurait perdu la moitié de ses effectifs. En outre, dans cette guérilla où tous les coups sont permis, les soldats sautent sur des mines ou tombent dans les pièges tendus par l'ennemi. Les GIs auraient donc été ivres de vengeance. Ils ne trouvent pourtant pas grâce auprès de l'opinion publique et des médias, pour qui ce massacre est un véritable choc et un tournant dans la guerre du Vietnam. Consciente du scandale et de la colère de l'opinion, l'armée crée une commission d'enquête en septembre 1969. Une vingtaine de personnes sont inculpées, dont le lieutenant Calley et le capitaine Medina, qui commandait la compagnie. Pourtant, seul Calley est condamné à la réclusion à perpétuité. Personne d'autre n'est inquiété. Devant cette unique condamnation, les journaux crient à la parodie de justice. Le président Nixon, soucieux de minimiser le massacre, fera d'ailleurs bénéficier l'officier d'une mesure de libération conditionnelle, s'efforçant par ailleurs de discréditer les personnes ayant porté l'événement sur le devant de la scène.

19 LA area restaurants are named James Beard Semifinalists while 94 journalists at The Los Angeles Times, including some food journalists, lose their jobs - needless to say, it's been a week of high highs and low lows. Father Sal joins us to dissect it all. We have some fun, congratulatory chat about the amazing restaurants like Amiga Amore and Kuya Lord getting the James Beard nods. And we have a thornier conversation on the importance of local media and what can be done to ensure a more sustainable media ecosystem moving forward.  On an entirely positive note, we're also joined today by Traci and Shad Davis, the power couple behind Vietnamese fast casual concept My Lai Kitchen. Traci and Shad walk us through the inspiration for their rapidly expanding spring roll empire. We talk through the nuances of opening a fast casual concept, why some fast casual concepts succeed better than others, and the discoveries they've made as they translate the beauty of Vietnamese cooking into the fast casual format. Traci also talks to us about her inspiration for opening My Lai in the first place, and Shad tells a hilarious anecdote about how he chooses to spend his birthday each year. Traci and Shad are an absolute delight, and their food is delightful too, so make sure to stick around for that.

In November 1969 news broke of a massacre of Vietnamese civilians by US troops in the village of My Lai in the So Tonh district of Kwang Nai in the South Central coast region of Vietnam. The killings themselves had taken place more than a year earlier on the 16th March 1968. It's difficult to know how many deaths there were – the US army puts the figure at 347, and there are estimates of around 500.Marshall Poe joins to discuss the build up, the massacre itself and the events of that day, the cover up, and we try to answer why it happened.Marshall Poe LinksThe Reality of the My Lai MassacreNew Books NetworkMassacres in VietnamThe Vietnam WarOllie LinksOllie on the NBN - Entrepreneurship & LeadershipOllie on X/Twitter

This episode examines Breaker Morant, the 1980 Australian New Wave film depicting the military trial of Harry ("Breaker") Morant and two other Australian soldiers for war crimes committed during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The film, directed by Bruce Beresford, offers a gripping account of the trial and raises a host of questions about law and justice during wartime--questions that are as relevant today as they were when the trial took place more than a century ago. I am joined on this episode by veteran attorney Michel Paradis, who has served as military defense counsel in landmark war crimes trials at Guantanamo Bay and who has written widely about issues of international law and military justice. Michel is a lecturer at Columbia Law School in New York and a partner at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP.

With over 55% of our waking hours spent looking at a screen of some sort, we're more susceptible to programming than you might imagine. Chad breaks down some historic examples of cover-ups, such as the Tuskegee study, the My Lai massacre, Rathergate, and the Harvey Weinstein scandal. They're trying to keep people from questioning the prescribed narrative, but you have a choice about what you take into your brain. The Amercian people have been lied to so many times that most of us can't even keep track. Hopefully, this special episode helps you recognize the lies in real time so that you can avoid becoming another automaton for the machine. Learn more about your ad choices.

Se cumplen 55 años de los hechos de la aldea vietnamita conocida como My Lai que fue perpetrada por la compañía Charlie del 1er Batallón, 20º Regimiento de Infantería, 11ª Brigada , 23ª División de Infantería del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Murieron de 350 a 500 personas y se intentó encubrir hasta que algunos soldados lo denunciaron y salió en la prensa. El escándalo fue triple, por una parte por la matanza; por otra el encubrimiento, tanto del ejército, del gobierno y de los grandes medios de comunicación; y finalmente por el resultado del juicio. La confianza de la ciudadanía estadounidense en su gobierno cayó en picado. Te lo cuenta el G-4 con ☠️ Julio Caronte, ⚓️ Esaú Rodríguez, 🦕 Antonio Gómez y 👨‍🚀 Dani CarAn.

Legendary reporter Seymour Hersh joins Green and Red Podcast! In our latest, we talk with Seymour Hersh about his bombshell article exposing the U.S. destruction of the Nordstream Pipeline. We talk with him about the politics around the Nordstream Pipeline, the war in Ukraine, Putin, Biden and much more. Seymour Hersh has Won a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book award and several George Polk awards.  He's best known for breaking stories around military and national security matters including the massacre at My Lai in Vietnam, the CIA spying on American citizens in 1970s (that led to the formation of the Church Committee) and the torture scandal at Abu Ghraib during the Iraq war. --------------------------------------------- Outro "Green and Red Blues" Links// Seymour Hersh: How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline  (http://bit.ly/3myrmBu) Follow Green and Red// G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast Where you find all the good news about G&R: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In this episode, we ask: Must a story be told? What happens if it isn't? Could we be better off? Brandon & Stephen are somewhat boggled by the existence of a story that seems out of journalism's primordial past. Not a "man bites dog" story, but an even more ancient piece of news: "dog bites man." We consider a story about how, when dogs attack mail carriers, sometimes whole neighborhoods lose delivery service. It seems that, indeed, everything must be made into news eventually. But — apparently not everything. From postal pith helmets, we look at a story that didn't show up in the Times, the Post, or even the cable-news networks. It's a story about how the U.S. sabotaged a Russian pipeline providing natural gas to Western Europe. Or maybe it didn't?  What's the saying? "Disinformation is better than no information at all"? (That's not a saying.) In early February, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh published a post on Substack that set this whole thing in motion. Hersh has broken huge stories in the past — about the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, about torture at Abu Ghraib — so it's just ... weird that the legacy media didn't pick it up, if only to refute it. That's what we wrestle with in this episode: Hersh's story, why it was ignored, and how we citizens should think about and respond to stories in which we aren't sure about any of it. Turns out, it's an act of faith, and a little something we like to call ... ... brave ignorance. Put on your pith helmet and some long socks, and let's deliver some answers to that ancient question: How do we know what's safe if we don't even know who bit whom? JOURNOS is produced by Dave Coates NOTES Seymour Hersh talks about his journalism philosophy and responds to the controversy over his latest story Reuters dutifully relays the government's response to Hersh's story and explains who Hersh is, while the administration digs into denials Not surprisingly, Russia thinks Hersh is onto something Here's Hersh's 2004 New Yorker story about torture at Abu Ghraib Here's Hersh talking Bin Laden on CNN in 2015 Another journalism veteran puts Hersh into perspective in a 2018 NYT review of Hersh's memoir, "Reporter" For the curious, here are some critiques of Hersh's reporting over the years from Slate, Snopes, Vox, and a sort-of one from NYT Magazine Hersh's reporting of the last decade is carried by the London Review of Books — controversial in part because the stories are built on only a few, anonymous, sources CNS News uses the pipeline story to go after NYT ... and shill a Mediterranean cruise with Rick Santorum! Clips you heard in this episode: Biden's February 2022 press conference where he says he'd take action against Nord Stream if Russia invades Ukraine (C-SPAN) A 2022 CNN report on the pipeline explosion CNN's Wolf Blitzer interviews Hersh about Abu Ghraib in 2004 Hersh on CNN in 2013 to talk about the Syria poison gas attacks A November 1969 ABC News story on the My Lai massacre The February 2023 Democracy Now! interview with Hersh Ding and wave sound FX from InspectorJ under a Creative Commons license

This week's show features stories from Going Underground and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr230303.mp3 (29:00) From GOING UNDERGROUND- Afshin just interviewed Seymour Hersh about who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, cutting off gas supplies to Germany and causing the price of fuel to skyrocket globally. Hersh who revealed the My Lai massacre in 1970, for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. His distinguished career includes articles on Henry Kissinger, and US torture and secret prisons in the Iraq war. In this interview Hersh explains how the US government detonated the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline last September, and the motives behind the attack. He also speaks about the initial rejection of his report on the My Lai massacre, of being accused of being a conspiracy theorist, and Edward Snowden. From JAPAN- Japan announced plans to purchase 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the US. As Russia continues its war on Ukraine it claimed the US was planning a false flag operation with toxic materials, which the US says is disinformation. Foreign Ministers of the G20 nations met in India, did not find common ground, and did not conclude with a joint statement. The FBI director told Fox News that the novel Corona virus was probably leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan China.

Il est bien rare que, dans un conflit, les lois de la guerre soient toujours respectées. La guerre du Vietnam n'échappe pas à la règle. Elle connut en effet un affreux carnage, le massacre de My lai. My Lai est un paisible village. Quand des soldats américains l'investissent, le 16 mars 1968, il n'est peuplé que de vieillards, de femmes et d'enfants. Pourtant, la section du lieutenant William Calley croyait y trouver des Viet-Congs. C'est alors que les soldats, sur l'ordre de leur chef, entreprennent une tuerie méthodique. À coups de fusil, ou de baïonnette, ils massacrent sans pitié les femmes et les enfants qu'ils trouvent. Certains soldats refusent cependant de participer au massacre. Un officier, arrivé sur les lieux en hélicoptère, ordonne même de faire feu sur les criminels. Malgré tout, entre 350 et 500 habitants sont sauvagement assassinés. Comment des soldats ont-ils pu en arriver à un tel degré de barbarie ? Certains l'expliquent par les lourdes pertes essuyées par la compagnie dont l'une des sections a perpétré le massacre. En quelques mois, elle aurait perdu la moitié de ses effectifs. En outre, dans cette guérilla où tous les coups sont permis, les soldats sautent sur des mines ou tombent dans les pièges tendus par l'ennemi. Les GIs auraient donc été ivres de vengeance. Ils ne trouvent pourtant pas grâce auprès de l'opinion publique et des médias, pour qui ce massacre est un véritable choc et un tournant dans la guerre du Vietnam. Consciente du scandale et de la colère de l'opinion, l'armée crée une commission d'enquête en septembre 1969. Une vingtaine de personnes sont inculpées, dont le lieutenant Calley et le capitaine Medina, qui commandait la compagnie. Pourtant, seul Calley est condamné à la réclusion à perpétuité. Personne d'autre n'est inquiété. Devant cette unique condamnation, les journaux crient à la parodie de justice. Le président Nixon, soucieux de minimiser le massacre, fera d'ailleurs bénéficier l'officier d'une mesure de libération conditionnelle, s'efforçant par ailleurs de discréditer les personnes ayant porté l'événement sur le devant de la scène.

Ant and Rob decided to have a quick, impromptu show review of their interview with Art & Laraine Bennett.  Like usual, they go somewhat off topic and talk about controversy between Kennedy Hall and Michael Lofton, the horrors of Communism, and the My Lai Massacre.  You even get to hear Ant order Chinese food on air while his wife has an entire conversation with him from another room.  Warning, some of the discussion of the horrors of Communism and the events that happened at My Lai are of a nature that should not be played in front of children.#catholic #temperament #martyrmadePlease support our good friends over at Meaning of Catholic.

Joe Biden said today Vladimir Putin should be tried as a war criminal. Is Russia guilty of war crimes in Ukraine? What are the war crimes America is guilty of? On today's show we explore the term "war crime" and why exactly America refuses to be a signatory to the International Criminal Court. Why is Biden refusing to offer Putin a graceful exit out of Ukraine? Did Biden trick Putin into invading Ukraine the same way Jimmy Carter claims to have tricked the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan?
