Gulf of Tonkin Incident

The Gulf of Tonkin incident(s) started the Vietnam war. The resulting Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave the President powers of a dictator to make war just like in the Star Wars saga. Perhaps I’ve watched too many movies but all these false flag operations and this huge private clone army the US is now creating is a recipe for disaster.

Compare the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 with the USS Liberty incident in 1967. Both were under president Lyndon B. Johnson. The one who took over after Kennedy was assassinated. If it worked for Johnson in 1964 why wouldn’t it work for him in 1967? Oh yeah, the Russian spy ship that caught them in 1967 made it hard to lie to the world again: http://finiansworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/uss-liberty.html

Kennedy was pulling troops out of Vietnam and opposed the false flag proposals in Operation Northwoods to invade Cuba during the missile crisis. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident occurred during the first year of the Johnson administration.

Basically there were two incidents. One was provoked and the other fabricated. Operation Plan 34-Alpha is a sad tale of abandonment that sounds like something out of a Rambo movie:

I was raised in the Vietnam era and lived in the socially accepted belief that war was bad and the Vietnam war was very bad. Yet I remember speaking with two Vietnamese from South Vietnam who said after America pulled out, the Russians not the Chinese moved in and closed all the churches and Buddhist monasteries and searched everyone on the street at any time.

My animosity over the American false flag operations is in no way a voice in support of Mao, Lenin or Stalin. It simply puts Bush and Johnson in the same boat. Please note that although Bush is a Republican Johnson was a Democrat so the CIA and Pentagon corruption appears to have power over whoever is in power.

Please note that the Soviet Union did pursue the same expansionist drive with Iran and Afghanistan independent of any US false flag operation. There is no doubt the Soviet Union had an agenda in Vietnam similar to that in Iran, Afghanistan and Cuba and the trigger happy war machine arms dealers from the US of A were more than happy to accommodate them and win or lose profit from the conflict.

Why do I get the feeling that LBJ was not interested in hearing what MLK had to say?
