http://answers.yahoo.com/question/answer?qid=20100619224742AAa3YqY What was the real reason for the Viet Nam War? In global politics, there is a mainstream or official reason for starting a war and there is a non-mainstream reason for starting or joining a war. For example, the current war in Iraq is officially part of the War on Terror, i.e. we're "fighting terror". But the non-mainstream reason for it and what most people believe is that the U.S. is in Iraq for their petroleum fields. The official reason for the Viet Nam War was to prevent its fall to the Soviets (and also other neighboring countries--the Domino Theory). This is the official reason. What is the real or non-mainstream reason for the Viet Nam War? Additional Details Jimmbbo-- If in fact the reason for invading Iraq was for their petroleum fields, the same vested interests that are now profiting from the war will be the ones to profit from whatever oil is present in Iraq (some of the largest remaining petroleum fields by many studies). The petroleum won't translate into lower gasoline prices for the American people. It's not going to be nationalized. ----------- You probably heard that the troops were always kept from directly attacking the so-called viet cong (a madison avenue creation, they called themselves the national liberation army), always playing tag and never allowing for all-out assault and victory, while the budget deficits, federal borrowing and casualties mounted. Meanwhile the western central banks were channeling money to north VN so they could buy soviet weapons. Do you see who profited? The same people who are profiting from the so-called "war on terror", who created al-qaeda in afghanistan in the first place. The ones who put brought down the weimar republic and shored up hitler (the "hitler project"). The ones who plundered the american economy during the great depression and who arranged for the destruction of the western economies today, by inflating and deflating bubbles and waging pointless wars. The ones who hired the demolitions experts to wire the world trade center before 9/11. The ones who are blackmailing members of congress to use the USA as their gendarme to create global government. Who smuggle heroin and cocaine into this country with impunity, to finance their self-funded operations. Who teach nazi torture techniques to the mercenaries they hire to enforce their natural resource-looting dictatorships in the 3rd world. Who murdered JFK and MLK when they became a danger to their profit streams. Who have bought every major media outlet in secret and brought down a cloak of censorship and propaganda that the USSR could only have dreamed of. In short, the people who control the central banks, who have a license to print money, who are above all governments, whose network of corporate ownership and control is secret, whose fathomless wealth goes back many generations. Who buy and sell politicians and governments at auction. The wizards behind the curtain. The powers behind the throne. Follow the links while they're still available. They represent the hard work of hundreds of independent truth seekers who are beholden only to their quest for justice and a decent future for their children. Good luck. -------------------- http://www.prosperityuk.com/prosperity/articles/edison.html http://www.webofdebt.com/ http://www.monetary.org/ http://www.patriotsquestion911.com/ http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/thermite/explosive_residues.html http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/cutter.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOq3HYRiG7Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WYdAJQV100 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3760797491142118919# http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3979568779414136481# http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWwrEEP8EBk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1Y6cGRXEs http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/OK/ok.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKvkhe3rqtc http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/jul/08/july7.development http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RshOuBju1FI&feature=PlayList&p=26BF14758BB5A85F http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=866739408240639313# http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOnEo4689Vg&feature=related http://members.tranquility.net/~rwinkel/911/blackmail_scandal/ http://personalgrowthcourses.net/video/jfk_unsolved_murder_kron.php http://www.thekingcenter.org/KingCenter/Transcript_trial_info.aspx#Statement http://www.narconews.com/darkalliance/ http://fromthewilderness.com/free/ciadrugs/index.html http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/MENA/mena.html http://chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/hershciairan.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXGUgFXoRu4 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar http://members.tranquility.net/~rwinkel/911/Creating_Terror.mp3 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6063340745569143497# http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbnxsPgcsH0 http://members.tranquility.net/~rwinkel/MGM/primer.html
