    Currently on Netflix. It’s a riviting tale of how the powers that be pulled too punchedscin trying to keep from the public how they stole INSLAW and used it other than how it was intended to be used. Makes you think there’s a deep state of the worst kind.

    Meh.

    EDIT: My bad, lots of spoilers in my slam.

    I’ll let it roll until everyone has a chance.

    I was stunned by the allegation that the Reagan administration paid the Ayatollah millions to NOT release the hostages until after the election. I wonder if it’s true. Nixon did something similar with respect to Vietnam peace talks when he was running against Humphrey. That’s been proven true.

    Nixon committed high treadon with his little tet te tet with those corrupt scumbag S Vietnames crooks running their scams while in power at that time.

    There's a real good reason the S Vietnamese lost the conflict, even with a
    huge commitment by the USA.

    Corruption, apathy and huge reliance on French and later American aid.

    I have read and seen in documentaries high ranking American Officers state that the US was supporting the "Wrong Side" at least in terms of Govt integrity and a lack of commitment by a huge % of the S Vietnamese population toward their own Gov't.
