Targeted Political Killings are Tools in the Book of War

President Biden’s support for the Ukraine war enabled a total of approximately 15,000+ civilians to be killed in the conflict by continuing a conflict that should have ended several years ago. Each day about 1200 Russians and 600 Ukrainian soldiers die. This is a different era than during Vietnam conflict though. L.B.J.’s war set the groundwork for about a half million Vietnamese civilians to be killed by American military power. The Northern communists also may have killed a quarter million. The communists did use targeted political killings- a phenomenon largely absent from the Ukraine War except for a rare use when the Ukraine secret military police target Russian Generals in Moscow with terrorist bombings.

President Trump and other Republican leaders in recent years have been occasional targets of Democrat fellow traveling would be assassins. Part of the mass killings of protestors in Iran this year may have been an effort to degrade domestic political opposition. Because targeted political killings as a tool of war are a little known phenomenon in most modern conflicts- albeit perhaps practiced widely by repressive regimes and select revolutionaries to take out political opposition, I asked A.I. to recap the history and effectiveness of the communist political cleansing movement to expedite victory in the Vietnam war.

AI-Historical consensus attributes 250,000 to 400,000 civilian deaths to the actions of the United States and its allies, while attributing 164,000 to 227,000 civilian deaths to the targeted actions, purges, and terror tactics of the NVA and Viet Cong. 

If you would like to explore this topic further, I can provide more details on the methods historians use to calculate these numbers or break down specific events like the Hue Massacre or Operation Rolling Thunder. Let me know what you prefer! 

Gary-Were the targeted political killing helpful to the communists?

AI-Yes, historians and military analysts generally agree that the targeted political killings were highly effective and helpful to the communist war effort.

While these actions were violent and constituted terrorism, they served a calculated, rationalized political strategy rather than random malice. The assassination campaign helped the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong (VC) achieve their goals through several distinct mechanisms:

1. Collapsing Local Government Infrastructure [1]

The South Vietnamese government in Saigon struggled to project authority into rural provinces. By systematically assassinating village chiefs, police officers, tax collectors, and mail carriers, the VC effectively severed the link between the central government and the rural population.

• When a village chief was killed or kidnapped, the Saigon government struggled to find replacements willing to take the job.
• This created a “shadow government” or political vacuum, allowing the VC to step in, govern, and control the villages.

2. Elimination of Competent Leaders

Declassified intelligence reports, including historical studies by the RAND Corporation, revealed that the VC did not target people at random. They intentionally targeted two types of local officials: [1, 2, 3]

• The Highly Corrupt/Unpopular: Killing a corrupt local tyrant made the VC look like liberating heroes to the exploited peasants.
• The Highly Competent/Well-Liked: Killing capable, honest government reformers was a priority because those officials threatened to win the genuine loyalty of the people for the Saigon government.

3. Coerced Compliance and Resource Extraction

The primary goal of guerrilla warfare is to control the population to secure food, taxes, and new recruits. 

• High-profile assassinations created an environment of fear where the rural population realized the South Vietnamese military could not protect them.
• As a result, even villagers who did not ideologically support communism complied with VC demands for rice, taxes, shelter, and information to avoid being labeled “traitors” and executed. [

4. Forcing Heavy-Handed U.S. and ARVN Responses [1]

By blinding American and South Vietnamese intelligence networks at the village level, the communists forced their enemies to rely on indiscriminate conventional military force (like heavy artillery and B-52 bombing raids) to root out hidden insurgents. 

• When these massive military responses accidentally killed innocent civilians or destroyed villages, it deeply angered the peasantry.
• This resentment drove thousands of surviving rural Vietnamese directly into the arms of the Viet Cong, helping the communists recruit new soldiers.

The Limits of the Strategy

While the strategy was highly effective at disrupting the South Vietnamese state, it occasionally backfired when the violence became too widespread. For example, the Massacre at Huế during the 1968 Tet Offensive—where communist forces executed thousands of civilians, teachers, and religious figures—deeply alienated urban populations and hardened domestic resistance against the NVA. 

Ultimately, however, the targeted killing campaign was a structural pillar of Hanoi’s hybrid warfare strategy. It successfully prevented South Vietnam from ever building a stable, secure, and cohesive nation-state. 

Democrats Goal to 'Make America Wussie Again' Slowly Builds Steam to Mid-Term Elections

 The Democrat party is on the warpath to retake the House and Senate in the 2026 mid-term elections and of course the 2028 Presidential election when the White House is up for grabs. Taking direct action against President Trump and MAGA in a counteroffensive I anticipate the party will take up the slogan Make America Wussie Again!.

Democrats want to reopen the border for illegal migration, defund Homeland Security and police nationwide. Just yesterday I got a letter from an organization asking for contributions to help buy bullet proof vests for police officers in cities underfunded by Democrats seeking to defund them. If I were employed I would have sent $10.

With just 40 trillion dollars of U.S. Public debt and the prospect for three or four trillion more by 2029 when a Democrat President could reopen the White house for parties and the Trump ballroom for hip hop and bling, Democrats have good plans to spend borrowed money on new policies to help increase the trillion dollar a year interest on public debt. In effect the party hasn’t any plans besides promoting wussiehood for all, eliminating the 2nd Amendment through Supreme Court appointments of leftists and running public debt up north of 50 trillion dollars- to outspend Republicans if that were possible. Wussiehood policies draw their election base to the polls like meat draws flies. It is anticipated that a full wussie platform for the ‘gurls’ will be launched in time for the mid-term. 

For the present, Senator Adam Schiff is still unannounced regarding his White House bid, and Democrats are protesting the war upon Iran and underfunding of the war to end all wars in Ukraine. Solid policy choices calculated to bring new hope to politicians seeking pay increases.

Democrats Lose Faith in Holding Their Breath Until Country Turns Blue- US Gov May Open Tonight

 The Senate having passed a continuing resolution and the House rules committee sending a bill to the floor tonight for a vote proved that enough Democrats lost faith in anarchy, chaos, pouting and stupidity to vote to reopen government and try to participate in Democracy.

The left-anarchist branch of the Democrat Party wanted it all- Obamacare for illegal aliens and limitless quantities of diapers for constituents and failed in the effort to hold their breath until the nation turned blue.

Ideas About The Book of Life and Portland's Mob

The country isn’t sliding into dictatorship at all. Franklin Delanor Roosevelt was far worse. It is just Democrat propaganda because they are completely corrupt morally.

  What happens is the party leadership is just lawyers, and this country has an adversarial legal system rather than a magisterial like the UK, so all the lawyers do in Congress is act like hostile combatants- except there isn’t an impartial judge. A few lawyers are useful in government yet real people with good ideas- not just litigants that sue people, is what is needed.

 Many ordinary people don’t seem to have a good sense of history. They don’t even know U.S. history very well and it makes them quite malleable to political manipulation. That being said it is not alright for the left to terrorize federal office buildings as they do in Portland. Remember this is an era following Timothy McVeigh and the Murer Federal Building destruction in Oklahoma City and the 9-11 attacks. The very, very loose and somewhat predatory sieges of federal buildings provides hate and potential opportunities for threat vectors to attack and perhaps destroy federal buildings and personnel.

Many Americans really don’t like illegal aliens taking jobs in the U.S.A. and would like them deported. Remember that most of my life was in the affirmative action era and I was not the newly favored class. Anti-white males discrimination became commonplace, and it did not help blacks nearly as much as it might have if every other race and gender did not pile in to that open door.

The U.S. Supreme Court eventually decided that race based employment favoritism is wrong. Certainly the Democrat Party of the ante-bellum south used it routinely, and in the segregation era race based favoritism applied even to water fountains in many areas of the country, though I never saw anything like that in the state of Washington growing up. I remember traveling through Portland on weekends even before the dams on the Columbia River were completed. It used to be more of an industrial town.

I understand the homeless problem very well because I have lived that way myself. I slept on the street for a while in order to finish a computer programming and systems analysis class at Western Business College on SW 6th in Portland. If one is homeless the first thing necessary is to never use drugs, alcohol or tobacco and of course those are heavily used vices in Portland’s homeless community. Portland has had leftist ‘leadership’ for quite some time. The last Republican governor of Oregon was Vic Atiyeh when I lived there. Politicians of both parties aren’t fixing the homeless problem and they could definitely reduce it with several practical measures they won’t try even when given the information to do so- I have tried that myself several times in writing.

I could say that giving transit passes to certified homeless so they could decentralize might help, or that providing tax breaks for hiring those out of work the longest proportionately could help the homeless find work. Even Oregon’s requirement that renters pay two month’s rent plus a deposit makes it tough for the broke to afford an apartment. It is useful to the left to have people on the street so they can try to accomplish their agenda by getting sympathy votes from the naive.

About 23 and me; I don’t want to give my genetic code to the corporate world. Genetic programming is very advanced and with Artificial General Intelligence around the corner it is only going to be more so. I don’t really want corporate to have my genetic code. Not only can gene specific bioweapons be designed that can target individuals but any competent agency with the genetic data, a plethora of genetic manipulations may be made to affect the individual target vector’s genetic ensemble. In a real way a human being’s body is like a mobile, ossified live book of information. Very soon it will be possible for others to reprogram or alter the letters or content making up the information that is the individual. I like to write science fiction, yet the present facts clearly support a continuing advance in the ability of corporate science or anyone else having genetic codes of people with technology and wealth to seriously interfere with people. Further, it is well known that internet security is terrible even for very secure organizations. Eventually all of the information is found by hackers and sold on the dark web.

I am not certain yet I seem to recall that the Army’s blood draw records for personnel including veterans was partially sold to science corporations for research- hopefully it was anonymous. I am sure if it did the data will make its way to foreign enemies.

Returning to the topic of illegal aliens. The confederacy was made of Democrats that liked cheap or free labor. They like illegal aliens today because it is cheap labor. Because so many Democrat Party voters don’t do labor themselves they don’t care if the illegal workers take American jobs or displace American workers while gutting wage increases for U.S. labor. They did that to my prospects all of my days. It was very hard to find temporary work because the Mexicans took the jobs for a fraction of what legal workers would get. They are also sometime very arrogant and rude. I support 100% legal workers without a hidden underclass. Yet the rich too tend to like to keep wages down with a wage segregated illegal underclass. In my entire life the Democrats have always made the problem worse, and they undermine democracy by supporting open borders. With open borders it doesn’t matter how people vote in Congress for immigration levels- illegals decide themselves what those levels and numbers will be.

With so many Mexicans working in America Mexico itself underdevelops and that favors the drug society of gangs; narco-traffickers who use the open border and retard Mexican development. The U.S. left want to say it is racist to close the border to all except legal entrants and of course it isn’t. Mexico will continue to be corrupted by the fact that wages are better in the U.S. for illegal migrants here. NAFTA could only have worked if all of the workers on both sides of the border were legal. Supply and demand applies to wages as well as product pricing.

I am sure you are tired of this by now. It is about divisive politics that doesn’t result in anything useful for the nation, except for those that are rich. The country really could use a new political party with good ideas- there are challenges ahead yet opportunity exists too. It is kind of exciting that aluminum and sodium EV batteries are going to appear in a year or two. Reportedly they can be recharged in 4 minutes, are good for 500 miles per charge, and weigh 250 pounds less than lithium ion. The Tesla 2 in 2026 may have them (or not), and may sell for $15,000. The batteries are said to last for 500,000 miles. Solar panels are also cheap now. I bought a 300 watt panel recently for 120 dollars.

Carrville; "Democrats Should Play Possum"

Carrville’s admonishment for Democrats to do nothing and play dead is well made. Since Democrats can’t make good policies and are accustomed to getting nothing done beyond legislating moral corruption, deficits and foreign war finance playing possum will be east. Carrville believes Trump policies may fail of their own weight.

Trump and Musk’s Doge policies will need to skirt around social security and Medicare reforms. It is easier to cut the defense budget than to scale back social security and Medicare to elderly relief safety net programs.  Payments for those that actually need them should increase for the poor and decrease for the prosperous. Even Trump cannot rectify social security so it is rational rather than a payment program inclusive of the middle class.

Democrats should find a scientific foundation for political economy utilizing ecological economics available to their future candidates. Forming ecological economic applied philosophy plans as party public domain information and cost analysis is essential if real world implementation is ever to occur.  Playing possum is a better course for Democrats who did not even try to tax the rich when they owned legislative and executive branches in 2021.

Democrat politicians pursue pork increases for globalist, homosexual and feminist constituents while stuffing their own freezers with cash. Democrats politicians may pretend to know or care about ecological economics in order to sway a few votes, and Republicans abandon all reason concerning the environment so the net environmental remediation for the parties together is zero

  While playing possum the party can keep an eye open to observe Doge reducing government waste and trying to move the budget toward balance.

The Problem With N.A.T.O.

 With 32 member nations N.A.T.O. is a very large military body. It can throw it’s power around such as in Ukraine, without concern for retaliation from nations it has sponsored war on. Recently met with the Zelinsky faction and guaranteed it would provide weapons and supplies to Ukraine at least until 2027. An undeclared war on Russia by the largest military alliance on Earth is a problem not only for Russia; it is a problem for the United States.

Zelinsky said the Rammstein accord will oppose the USA making Greenland part of America. He seems to want to make the U.S.A. an enemy of N.A.T.O. and to replace the U.S.A. after the U.S.A. quits the organization.

https://youtu.be/7MxDh5qKVOw?feature=shared

Russia never attacked a member of the alliance. N.A.T.O. leadership decided that it did not support any Russian claim to Ukraine or pre-emptive Russian move to defrappe its military activities in Ukraine and continued it membership build up to intimidate and threaten Russia. With plutocratic control of the press and western governance; governance bone-headed enough to believe that Ukraine war can be profitable for the west 

So instead of seeking a peaceful resolution to end the conflict and restore normal relations with Russia continued to escalate  even allowing attacks directly on Russia with N.A.T.O. weapons including missiles. Russia has yet to retaliate because it probably doesn’t ant to expand the war that would swiftly lead to a nuclear exchange.  N.A.T.O. leadership has arrogated the right to attack any nation that draws its ire despite that nation not having attacked a N.A.T.O. member nation. That is an expansion of the N.A.T.O. charter.

American Presidents that are Democrats may be sycophants of the new N.A.T.O. doctrine, or even leaders to be an 800 lb guerrilla throwing its weight around as the world’s anarchist.  Besides the United States the individual N.A.T.O. members wouldn’t have taken a belligerent stance with Russia over Ukraine. Yet as a military commune N.A.T.O. is a Don Corleone exerting its influence in a way that presets a threat even to the United States should it have strong dissension against a N.A.T.O action. There needs to be a better way to reinforce world peace and security than the N.A.T.O. alliance; once that conserves the sovereignty of the United States in foreign and domestic policy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNX8VEZZwwg

Subjective-Objective Distinction and Democrats

Mr McGoo saw others as roadhogs thus creating his own reality. When asked if the glass is half empty or half full he replied "It's all mine!". That is the way Democrats regard reality; because of evolution and the death of truth (the New York Times hasn't yet published that as a headline) social 

reality is malleable and nothing is meaningful except day care, homosexual marriage and abortion.

  If there are no differences between subjective and object concerns (the noumena is objective but Democrats can't see that) it is alright to lie about it. 

il est normal d'accuser des opposants politiques jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient condamnés pour des choses qu'ils n'ont pas faites-
