2. There's just little hope left

Kissinger is just as bad as Cheney.

Who would have thought, back before 2000, that in 2015 we would be welcoming fascism with open arms?

Not surprised by McCain. Nothing new about the rhetoric. He's just continuing with what the Kissinger / Nixon crew were calling protesters against the Vietnam War. Nixon called them "bums" and Kissinger said the university faculty were a "disgrace." Same group that was saying, back in the day, that "the Kent State four should have studied more."

I saw that Netflix has the 2011 documentary series from the History channel, "Vietnam in HD." It popped up in my "we think you'll like this" stuff last night. Though I had heard about it before, all I remembered was it existed. I was absolutely blown away when, at 6:42 minutes in, bold, white letters, across a black screen it states, AUGUST 2, 1964 USS MADDOX IS ATTACKED BY THREE NORTH VIETNAMESE TORPEDO BOATS IN THE GULF OF TONKIN" I thought I read it wrong. When I made sure that is what it stated, I kept watching and listening intently for the truth. The truth never came.

What hope is there?
