PREVIEW: Lyndon Johnson and the Australian View of His Vietnam Deception Guest: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley discusses LBJ's deceit regarding the Vietnam War and his demands for Australian troops. Although Australia was deceived, today its opinion of Johnson is low, focused mainly on his failure and decision to quit, rather than his statesmanship.

This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump ranted to the assembled leadership of the U.S. armed forces about fitness, wokeness and the "war within." Hegseth told the generals and admirals that they were too fat, while low energy Trump gave a rambling speech about many things that included using American cities a "training grounds" for military operations. The brass didn't seem amused. In our latest, we give a history of military dissent and civilian-military relations from the Vietnam War era to the Iraq war and talk about Generals David Shoup, Anthony Zinni and Eric Shinseki. We also get into the politics of Trum, Hegseth and today's Pentagon. ——

In this episode of The Book Club with Michael Smerconish, Michael sits down with journalist and author David Paul Kuhn to discuss his book The Hardhat Riot: Nixon, New York City, and the Dawn of the White Working-Class Revolution. Together, they revisit the dramatic events of May 1970, when construction workers and anti-war protesters clashed in lower Manhattan following the Kent State shootings and President Nixon's expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. Kuhn explains how the so-called Hard Hat Riot symbolized a deeper class divide in America—between blue-collar workers and college students—that reshaped the political landscape for decades to come. They explore how this moment foreshadowed today's polarization, the “diploma divide,” and the shifting loyalties of the American working class from Democrats to Republicans. Kuhn is also producer of the documentary "Hard Hat Riot", now streaming on PBS. Original air date 1 October 2025. The book was published on 1 July 2020. The documentary was released on 30 September 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Babs and Fran from Over/Underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Bab's choice Full Metal Jacket. Full Metal Jacket (1987) is Stanley Kubrick's ‘war is hell' film based on the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers by U.S Marine Gustav Hasford. It stars Matthew Modine as Private James T. "Joker" Davis, Vincent D'Onofrio as Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle” Lawrence and R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant L. Hartman. Unusually for a Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket primarily focuses on the gruelling eight-week drill training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. During the boot camp, Leonard is relentlessly tormented by Gunnery Sergeant, who nicknames him "Gomer Pyle” and bullies him over his weight. Joker at first is inclined to help Leonard but pulls back after a jelly doughnut incident incites punishment for the whole platoon. The second half sees Joker as a sergeant based in Da Nang as a reporter, finally seeing some action. Full Metal Jacket is a classic anti-war film, it central theme is about the abuse of young men by the military and the abuse turning them into killing machines that kill other men as well as women and children. Recommendability scores for Full Metal Jacket were mixed, like the film itself, the first half is stronger than the second half. It's near two hour runtime gave for lower repeat viewing and engagement scores and Full Metal Jacket scores 2.92 overall.

He is a former United States Marine, who served in the capacity of Small Arms Repairer/Technician (MOS 2111).In this podcast, Denny shares a bit about his troubled youth - getting expelled from school and tearing up the town in his hot rod. It was the positive influence of his brothers, who were all US Marines, which guided him to sign his life away.Denny served in peacetime, just prior to the Vietnam War but he has some great stories of his time in service.

In this episode, Sean and James discuss the 1987 film Good Morning Vietnam, a war-comedy film starring Robin Williams as Airman First Class Adrian Cronauer, a charismatic and irreverent DJ assigned to the Armed Forces Radio Service in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Set in 1965, the film follows Cronauer as he energizes the troops with his unfiltered humor, rock music, and offbeat broadcasts—much to the dismay of his rigid superiors. Loosely based on a true story, the film was a critical and commercial success, earning Williams a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We don't just suffer from physical and psychological injuries – we also suffer from moral injuries. Often this is because we stood by while awful events were taking place. The effects of moral injury were terrible for the generation who were forced into the Vietnam War and returned to find that they were reviled rather than admired, and for those of us who feel powerless to change the circumstances we find ourselves in today, the sense of moral injury is similar.Here is the study Steve mentionsAnd his article in Psychiatric Times

We learn some details. And we get an update on striking hotel workers in Houston.Also this hour: A gunman opened fire at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others.

On May 8, 1970, “the Hard Hat Riot” erupted in lower Manhattan. At midday, construction workers, including those building the World Trade Center, violently clashed with students demonstrating against the Vietnam War.   Workmen saw the protesting students as privileged “draft dodgers” disparaging the country and those who fought for it. On the other side, many student activists saw the workers as pawns, unwilling to see the changes that America needed.    On this episode, host Michael Azevedo speaks with Marc Levin, the director of "Hard Hat Riot," a new documentary that will broadcast on PBS' American Experience on September 30 and be available online thereafter.    "Hard Hat Riot" tells the story of a struggling metropolis (NYC), a flailing president (Nixon), a divided people, and a bloody juncture when the nation violently diverged ― culminating in a new political and cultural landscape that radically redefined American politics and foreshadowed the future.   Marc Levin is an award-winning, independent filmmaker dedicated to telling powerful, real stories in a unique, authentic style.   He has won four Emmys, four duPont-Columbia Awards, the Peabody Award, the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Highlights include: Slam, his breakout festival hit; Brick City, the groundbreaking docu-series about Newark, New Jersey's charismatic Mayor Cory Booker; Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock; Emmy-winning Thug Life in DC for HBO; Chicagoland, a docu-series for CNN and Robert Redford's Sundance Productions, nominated for a 2014 IDA Award for Best Limited Series.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Muhammad Ali is widely recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all-time and one of the most important figures of the 20th century. In addition to his long and celebrated career as a boxer and three-time heavyweight champion of the world, Ali changed the conversation about race, religion, and politics in America. Ali's refusal to be inducted into the U.S. military during the Vietnam War on religious grounds—a profound act of resistance that resulted not only in Ali's three-plus-year exile from professional boxing, but also a criminal conviction and five year-prison sentence that Ali almost had to serve until it was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court—represented a pivotal moment of the 1960s. Ali has been the subject of numerous books and documentary films, including the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings (1996) and The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013). He is also the subject of the 2001 Hollywood biopic, Ali (co-written and directed by Michael Mann and starring Will Smith as Ali), which focuses on the ten-year period from Ali's capture of the heavyweight crown from Sonny Liston in 1964 to Ali's fight against George Foreman in Zaire in 1974 (the famed “Rumble in the Jungle”). Once a sharply polarizing figure, Ali became one of the most celebrated and eulogized individuals in America, whose rich, if not incomparable, legacy reverberates around the world today. This episode is hosted by Professor Jonathan Hafetz, a faculty affiliate of the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights, and was originally released on his Law and Film Podcast.Support the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation: Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/

The Vietnam War was perhaps the most significant event that took place in the last half of the 20th century.  It had profound impacts on the United States and, of course, Vietnam. However, many people have a very simplistic view of the causes of the war. They assume it was just a result of Cold War politics. While that was certainly a cause, the root causes go back much further.  Learn more about the origins of the Vietnam War and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

Darrell Castle talks about recent events, in the history of America, from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened. Transcription / Notes IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A GIANT PSYOP Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. I will be talking about recent events in the history of America from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened. If we go back in history only so far as World War ll we find that psychological warfare was an important weapon for all combatants. It was important but also primitive compared to the worldwide grip it holds on us today. Sometimes it was millions of leaflets dropped from airplanes across Europe and sometimes it was Tokyo Rose broadcasting from Japan to American sailors opposing the Japanese navy. There were no video cameras, no satellites, no social media, and no internet whereby everyone was monitored and ordinary people could become celebrities overnight. Sinister forces became the status quo and opposing the status quo became very dangerous. President Eisenhower saw these forces coming to power in the world and he warned President Kennedy about them. President Kennedy, a genuine war hero, and a man of courage and determination took those warnings to heart and tried to oppose the forces that were fast becoming the status quo. He died for his efforts and even though it's been 62 years future leaders have all understood that you oppose the status quo at your own risk. JFK's brother Robert, who was most likely our next president, opposed those same forces and was determined to punish those who murdered his brother. The same year gave us Martin Luther King who also opposed the status quo and a man who argued for peace abroad and racial reckoning at home. Those three men met the same fate at the hands of a lone nut or so we are told. Hardly anyone today believes the demonstrably stupid explanations of their murders but at the time we still had some tiny amount of faith that our leaders might tell the truth occasionally but today, of course, we know better. Recently, in one of his Liberty Reports, Ron Paul, age 90 gave a pretty good explanation as he addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “The turbulent 1960's saw several killings of major US figures, including JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, who were challenging the status quo and pushing for a shift away from the Cold War confrontationist mentality. The real assassins of these peace leaders from last century were Nihilists who did not believe in truth. They only believed in power—the power that comes from the barrel of a gun. Rather than compete in the marketplace of ideas they preferred to snuff out any challenges and therefore decapitate any possibility that our country could take a different course.” There were many other assassinations, of course, during that same time period. Those of us who lived through it wondered what had become of us but then as usual it got worse. A couple of others worth mentioning were John Lennon, influential man obviously who talked often about peace and voiced opposition to America's wars. He was killed outside his Manhattan apartment by Mark David Chapman. John Hinckley, connected distantly to the Bush family, tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan who was in the process of peace with our worst enemy, the Soviet Union. I forgot to mention Richard Nixon who was ending the Vietnam War and who opened trade with China. The nation had just experienced several high-profile political murders so killing him might have aroused even the insouciant Americans' ire. Nixon didn't have to be assassinated because we had people who could false flag him and politically assassinate him. I mention all this history of death and destruction to present recent history as a massive psychological warfare experiment on the American people.

In this special episode, contemporary artists Hoa Dung Clerget and Duong Thuy Nguyen, and gallerist Sarah Le Quang Sang, join EMPIRE LINES live, exploring the legacies of French and British colonialism in East Asia, fifty years since the end of the Vietnam War, through the series, If They Survive, They are Refugees (2024).Marking 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, Only Your Name (2025) is a group exhibition featuring works by artists of Vietnamese descent: Hoa Dung Clerget, Vicky Đỗ, and Duong Thuy Nguyen. The exhibition follows the journey of Vietnamese people migrating to the UK from 1975 onwards, preserving history through a Vietnamese lens and reflecting on the contemporary diaspora.In this special episode, recorded live at SLQS Gallery in London, gallerist Sarah Le Quang Song discusses the particular location of the exhibition, close to Hackney's Kingsland Road, also known as the ‘Pho Mile', where many Vietnamese families settled from the late 1970s. We discuss the title, which draws from On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (2019), a novel by Ocean Vuong, written in the form of a letter from a Vietnamese American son to his illiterate mother.Duong Thuy Nguyen describes the process of making their embossed aluminium and wax sculptures, which reinterpret Joan Wakelin's photographs of Vietnamese refugees held in Hong Kong detention centres and refugee camps, now held in the collections of the V&A in London. Hoa Dung Clerget presents installations and sculptural works that consider the labour and lives of immigrant women through Nail Art subculture, distorting stereotypical and fetishised portrayals of Asian women. Drawing on their work, Chinoiserie (2025), Hoa shares examples of orientalism in East Asian art and education systems. Plus, we discuss Vicky Đỗ's documentary films, revisiting the history of Vietnamese refugees arriving in Hong Kong.This episode was recorded live as part of the public programme for Only Your Name, an exhibition at SLQS Gallery in London, in July 2025.For more information, visit: instagram.com/p/DLhGFqCIhNA/Womb of Fire 2025, curated by Tuong Linh, opens in Hanoi in October 2025, and tours to Ho Chi Minh City until January 2026.Interspecies Entanglements, curated by Florence Fitzgerald-Allsopp, is at the SLQS Screening Room online until February 2026.

In today's episode, Doug and Matt delve into the controversial assassination of Charlie Kirk and its broader societal and economic implications. The discussion covers a wide range of topics including the potential economic instability facing the US, comparisons to historical events like the 1960s and the Vietnam War, the cultural divide between liberal and conservative factions, and the role of hate speech in modern politics. They also analyze the official story surrounding Kirk's assassination, highlighting inconsistencies and potential motives, while drawing parallels to other significant events. This conversation seeks to understand the symptom of larger issues bubbling beneath the surface in contemporary America. 00:00 Introduction and Current Events Overview 00:48 Historical Context and Comparisons 02:22 Economic and Social Instability 05:42 The Role of Hate Speech and Government Actions 09:53 Digital and Cultural Divide 15:29 Economic Predictions and Manufacturing Decline 21:22 Charlie Kirk Assassination Theories 32:00 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

I have now lived through the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1968 Democratic presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. I remember sitting down on the floor in our home as a 2nd grade little boy, watching President Kennedy's funeral on a black and white television. Additionally, I remember when the Vietnam War was finally over on April 30, 1975. Furthermore, I have lived through 9/11, which happened twenty-four years ago. I have also lived through a global pandemic. While I can say these were all significant events and even generational moments, what happened on the campus of Utah State University on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, is unprecedented, and its impact remains profound and seems endless.  Who would have ever thought that a 22-year-old man would take a rifle onto the roof of a nearby building and brutally assassinate a 31-year-old man named Charlie Kirk? Charlie was on that campus to do what he does all over America, leading a dialogue with university students with the sole desire to impact their lives to make America stronger and greater in the future. With respect for every person, he was always honest with others but valued them personally and treated them with grace. However, Charlie Kirk's unique approach was that he believed in the Bible, and his views came from a biblical worldview. The questions are many today. Did this horrendous event occur because of Political Violence? Or did it happen because of Charlie Kirk's unashamed and courageous commitment to Jesus Christ? Personally, I see that both are true. But I also see something more profound: spiritual warfare, which is undeniable. Evil is alive all over America and the world. This evil deception is everywhere, including the online world, where so many evil things are occurring that lead to destruction and even death. Wake up, everyone! Satan and his demonic forces are alive and causing chaos, destruction, division, and even death. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was a target, not only of an assassin's bullet, but also a target of this enemy called Satan.  

In Plain Sight: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operationsis the raw, introspective autobiography of Jonathan Mark Haber, a Brooklyn-born activist whose relentless quest for truth spans government conspiracies, military psy-ops, and spiritual awakening.The narrative begins in 1960s Brooklyn, where the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK, the Vietnam War, and nuclear brinkmanship ignite Haber's activism. From draft resistance and communal living to building a family in rural Massachusetts, each step fuels his resolve to expose hidden forces shaping history.Central to his journey is a spiritual and political awakening guided by mentors like Karl Grossman, Elwood Babbitt, Eckhart Tolle, and Manhattan Project/NASA whistleblower Bart Jordan. Their insights propel his work with Flyby News, where he challenges official narratives—from the Cassini flyby and 9/11 to COVID-19—revealing the pervasive reach of military psychological operations.A defining collaboration with Jordan uncovers evidence of ancient Martian artifacts and languages, suggesting a pre-ice-age warning: humanity must break war's cyclical destruction or face oblivion. (Further details are explored in FlybyNews.com and on YouTube: "Bart Jordan: Manhattan Project NASA Whistleblower.")Interwoven with investigative rigor is Haber's personal battle—chronic pain, kidney failure, and profound loss—met with resilience and a belief in love's transformative power. More than a memoir, In Plain Sight is a call to confront deception and forge a future rooted in peace.https://amzn.to/3ImWDCwBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
