1971 – South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu is re-elected in a one-man election.[21]

Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War:
  • "Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost."
  • "Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
  • "In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
  • "President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kennedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
  • "Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
  • "A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."
  • 1998 - Pol Pot, Cambodian general and politician, 29th Prime Miniter of Cambodia, dies (and meets our Lord Jesus Christ!) (Source)

Excerpt from this article: "As she stared down the barrel of madman Charles Carl Roberts’ gun, 13-year-old Marian Fisher and her 11-yearold sister, Barbie, bravely pleaded with him to shoot them and spare the eight other girls he had taken hostage, a community leader said yesterday.“Marian said, ‘Shoot me first,’ and Barbie said, ‘Shoot me second,’ ” said midwife Rita Rhoads, a Mennonite who had helped deliver several of the victims."

Here is a great quote from David Rockefeller's Memoirs:

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”  


"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff, as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
