'Impeach Johnson For Viet Nam War'

Bobby Fischer denounced the Bolsheviks (the USSR) as a threat to mankind. So they were/are. They're not the “peace” loving “humanitarian” they would like to present to the world of themselves, and their history. Their first interests were Empire, Military Power and crushing the dissenters. The Hammer/Sickle Soviet Union made their “trade deals” with Capitalists and dragged the world into war after war, which cost millions of lives… Korea… Viet Nam… and indeed the Soviet Union secretly sent soldiers into Viet Nam to kindle the flames of death and destruction… always for profit because the U.S. would then have an excuse to step in, claiming its intention was a righteous one to “free” the people from “Communist” rule. Being raised in military family, I respect our men and women in uniform, the little guys who've served, but if they believe they truly sacrificed to defend the Constitution and American liberties, then they should begin asking themselves why then, were Americans forced into a war in Viet Nam, which was UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Constitutional Law? American Liberties? Since then, without a declaration of war by Congress, Americans have seen nothing but decades of wars after wars, since the Neoconservative Bush era was ushered in and the New World Chaos of illegal, endless wars for profit and plunder, leaving nation after nation in ruins and no better off, benefiting nobody except the elite few in a position to profit from military industry arms manufacture and sales. Everyone else pays for it.

'Impeach Johnson For Viet Nam War' by Hal Leiren
Dr. Linus Pauling said Friday U.S. President Lyndon Johnson should be impeached for the Viet Nam war.
The two-time Nobel Prize winner said he is willing to sign a petition calling for the president's impeachment.
He made the statement during a question period at the PNE Garden Auditorium. And he repeated it later at Brock Hall at University of B.C. following a speech on Viet Nam.
Dr. Pauling appeared to be taken aback, when a UBC student, who said he was an American citizen, said he had signed a petition calling for President Johnson's impeachment. The student asked if Dr. Pauling would do the same.
Dr. Pauling hesitated, then said: “I'll say yes. Yes, I will sign such a petition.”
Dr. Pauling spoke to an estimated crowd of more than 2,000 in the Garden Auditorium. The speech was taped for a teach-in at UBC where he appeared later and answered questions on his speech.
Dr. Pauling said the war in Viet Nam is unjust, immoral and a danger to mankind's survival.
The war, he said, is unconstitutional.
“Article 8 of the U.S. constitution says that only Congress has the right to wage war,” Dr. Pauling said. “But Johnson has been tricky enough to get around that. We are waging a war that Congress has not been allowed to debate.”
During a question period later he said the steps Johnson has taken in Viet Nam are unconstitutional.
“This may well lay him open to impeachment,” he said. “Congress is also to blame as it has allowed the executive (the president) to take over its powers.”
Dr. Pauling said the U.S. presence in Viet Nam has no popular basis among the Vietnamese and has frustrated implementation of the 1954 Geneva agreement.
“The United States and its puppet government in Viet Nam refused to allow elections in 1956 as was provided for in the 1954 agreement,” he said.
Dr. Pauling said the only way to achieve a settlement in the war is for the United States to agree to negotiate with the Viet Cong.
Dr. Pauling, who was given standing ovations both at the Gardens and at UBC, said it is up to the individual to pressure governments into moral action.

Shyness Mistaken As Arrogance

New York (UPI)— Jackie Kennedy Onassis considers herself a very shy person and because of her shyness some people misconstrue her diffidence for arrogance.
“The truth of the matter is that I am a very shy person,” Mrs. Onassis said in a copyrighted interview published today in Parade magazine. “People take my diffidence for arrogance and my withdrawal from publicity as a sign of my supposedly looking down on the rest of mankind.”
ON THE TOPIC of reporters, she said she did not dislike them. “It's just that I get afraid of them when they come at me in a crowd. I don't like crowds because I don't like impersonal masses. They remind me of swarms of locusts.”

([Sounds like some traits of common to Autism Spectrum, like Bobby Fischer. Though never diagnosed on the Autism that I'm aware of, Jackie Onassis describes a familiar feeling, “ I don't like …impersonal masses. They remind me of swarms of locusts.” — and being on the Autism Spectrum, like Bobby, dealing with a lifetime of Anxiety, I know from personal experience, it can lead to panic attacks… severe “overstimulation”.])

Indian Mother Declares War on U.S. Army

Indian Mother Declares War on U.S. Army
GI Son ‘Victimized by Broken Promises’
Marne, Iowa (UPI) — A full-blooded Sioux Indian “declared war” on the U.S. Defense Department yesterday claiming that her son has been victimized by “white man's promises” just as his ancestors were 100 years ago.
Mrs. Marie Thompson Pierson of Marne took the action in behalf of her son, Robert, 23, who is now stationed with the Army at Fort Bragg, N.C. Robert, she said, volunteered for the Army last fall and was promised a post in the Special Forces.
But after months of arguments with officials from Defense Secretary Melvin Laird to Mrs. Pierson said Robert has been denied a spot in the Green Berets for no reason.

Won't Return
“When I first contacted the Defense Department, I told them that this boy went in there under honorable conditions and since they can't fulfill their promises, I want him out under honorable conditions,” said Mrs. Pierson.
“This morning they called me from the Pentagon and said they are not going to release my son,” she said. She said she then called Laird's office “and declared war on the office of the department.”
Mrs. Pierson's son is coming home this weekend on a 10-day emergency leave arranged by the American Red Cross, and this time, Mrs. Pierson vows he won't return to the army.

Going to Court
“Since the Army wants to become technical with me, then I'm going to take this to court. The American Indian is still technically a prisoner of war in the United States, and under our treaties ratified by the federal government in ever instance it is stated that no Indian will carry firearms or engage in any battles.
“They're breaking their own treaty to even permit an Indian to be in the armed forces,” she said.
Mrs. Pierson said the Army has deprived her son of “the very thing they promised him.” She said this is “Just another white man's game, and it goes back 100 years ago when the federal government, the white man, first made promises to the Indians and then turned right around and broke the same promises.”
