Now, just before Christmas of 1968, on the 20th of December, our Loving Federal Government Sent me and several hundred other Young Men to Vietnam, who each had to Patiently Wait for our Assignments to this Murderous Company, or to that Slave Labor Company, or wherever we were Needed, since it made little or no Difference what anyone was "Trained" for: beCause, if the Infantry Needed more Men, a Clerk or Mechanic could just as easily be Assigned to the Infantry as to anything else. However, in my Case, I was Needed to Help Construct Bridges, Culverts, Sheds, and Bunkers, while also Guarding myself while Working. So, you can Imagine what it would be like to Carry a Rifle with Ammunition, while also Working with Heavy Materials, while also keeping an Eye Open for some Enemy that might Pop Up from some Hole or who knows where. And then there were Mine Sweeping Jobs each Morning: because the Dirt Roads had to be Swept with Metal Detectors, Systematically, in order to Help Prevent someone from getting Blasted Away, which Happened now and then.

Mine Sweeping

About the Second or Third Time that I went on a Mine Sweep with a half dozen other Young Men, we got to a certain Place where we were Walking along the Road, when the "Gooks" opened Fire on us from the Woods, and 300 Yards away from us; and our Squad Leader yelled to "GET DOWN," in the Ditch along the Road, of course; but, at that Time I was so Depressed that I did not even Care if I got Killed: beCause of the Platoon Sergeant Mallard, who was a First Class Idiot in my Opinion, whom I will tell about later on, even as Shameful as it is. Well, at any rate, the Vietcong were Shooting at us, and I was just Standing there as if nothing was Happening, while Bullets were Whizzing by; and then I Decided that I should lie down, just in case I might get that Squad Leader in Trouble. After all, he was Trying to do his Best, and I was just being an Idiot. So, about that same Time, the Army Tank that Accompanying us from Behind, Whirled its Turret Around toward those Woods, and Proceeded to Blast Off a dozen or so Mortar Rounds, and simply left those Woods Looking like Shredded Trees in less than 2 Minutes! Moreover, the Enemy did not bother to Fire at us again from there: because they were most likely gone Underground by that Time, Knowing that we would not bother ourselves to go after them: beCause that was the Duty of the Infantry, not the Engineers. Therefore, we kept Sweeping the Road with our Detectors, and Actually Discovered a Mine, and Exploded it on the Road, in Place; and then used our Dump-truckload of Gravel to Fill the Hole that the Mine had left, which used about half of the Load of Gravel. Moreover, that Mine had a Wire Attached to it, which ran out into a Field about 50 feet beside the Road, and then made a 90º Turn for about 100 feet, and then went towards the Woods in the Distance. That Wire "Trick" was Supposed to Fool us; but, it Failed. I Suppose that they Intended to Explode the Mine when someone got near to it; but, the Wire must have Failed them, or else they did not have it Connected Properly, or else they were not Manning it at the other End. At any rate, they Failed to do us any Damage. Furthermore, it was probably those very "Gooks" who came out the next Night and Planted some German Anti-tank Mines that had been Confiscated by the Russian Communists from the Germans, after World War 2, who were Shipping the Mines to China, who were Shipping them to North Vietnam, who were Packing them to South Vietnam, where we were Stationed, near Kon Tum. 

So, the next Morning another Squad in our Company went on the Mine Sweep; and there was a Young Man who had just Arrived there the Week before, who Feared to go on the Mine Sweep: beCause he was Afraid of getting Killed, and so Afraid that he was Shaking / Trembling all over. And one of the other Men said, "Well, as a General Rule, if you Live for 2 Weeks over here, you will most likely get back Home, even if you are not in one Piece; and you have already been here for one Week. So, Hang in there," which was not all that Comforting to him, who only Weighted about 110 pounds, who had no more Business being an "Engineer" than I would have being a Guided Missile Technician. Well, at any rate, about 3 Hours later, that same Squad Returned from the Mine Sweep with only one of his Little Fingers, which was all that they could Find after a Mine had Exploded! So, they put his Finger in a Body Bag, if you can Believe it, which would Naturally be big enough to Hold 5 Bodies his Size: beCause it would never Cross the Minds of Military Leaders that there might only be Fragments of Bodies to Return to the Families who Produced them, Washed them, Changed their Diapers, Fed them, Clothed them, Played with them, Spent thousands of Dollars on them, and Enjoyed them for 18 Years or so, and then Brutally Lost them in Minutes, if not Fragments of Seconds, as was the Case for that Young Man, who should have never been Sent on the Mine Sweep to begin with: beCause Moses said, "If anyone is Faint of Heart, or Fearful, let him Turn Back from the Battle, and do not go into it; but, let him Return Home, lest his Brothers Hearts should Faint, as well as his own Heart," (see Deuteronomy 20:8 and Related Scriptures) which is really Good Advice: beCause that Person is not Prepared to Die, nor should he Die for no Good Reason. After all, there are a million Fools who are Willing, and most of them are more than Willing, so that they can March right Straight into HEAVEN! Yes, Heaven is Supposed to be Full of War Veterans, and even Overcrowded with them at Times: beCause it is Difficult for the Angels to get Enough Mansions Built for so many Dead Soldiers.  In Fact, I am Surprised that they can Manage to get even one tenth Enough Mansions Prepared, except that such Beliefs are Pure NONSENSE! Yes, it Sounds Good to Tired Ears and Sore Grief-stricken Minds; but, there is simply no Truth in it, nor should anyone Expect any such Rewards for Murdering other People, even if they are as Bad as those "Gooks," who were merely Defending themselves Against a Foreign Invasion of Morons, who Actually Imagined that they could Defeat People who are Willing to go Underground, and Dig Tunnels for MILES, even Under Mountains and Rivers! Yes, the Idea is Insane, if you Think about it. Moreover, for what Good Reason did that Boy, who was still in his Puberty, DIE? Furthermore, for what Good Purpose did any of the million or more People Die or get Badly Wounded in that Insane War?

Now, you might Think that the "Holy Bible" would have some Reasonable Explanation for Wars, which might make some Sense to at least someone; but, instead, it is probably the least Explained Thing in all of the Bible, which goes into Great Details about the Construction of the Tabernacle, and similar Things; and Dedicates entire Books to War Games, and even seems to Glorify such Games, as if it were a Wonderful Thing to Kill other People. After all, who is it that does not get at least a little Thrill from Reading about a Boy called David, Slaying a Monster called Goliath? However, if you were the "Lucky one," who got to Behead Goliath, or cut his Belly Open with a Sharp Sword, so that you could SMELL of the Blood and Guts, you would Know that War is really NOT all that Glamorous and Glorious. In Fact, it is only for Ignorant Fools: beCause, even Surrender to an Enemy might Prove to be a million times less Painful, which is probably WHY that Jesus Christ Surrendered to his Enemies, and made no Attempt to Fight Against them, who was Quickly Dispatched for the Kingdom from Heaven. After all, he only had a Ragtag Army of a few thousand Men, who would have simply been Smeared by the Roman Legends, who did Exactly that in about 68—70 AD, when the Jews got Bold Enough to make Fools of themselves again, and did not Accept Jesus' Good Advice to not Resist Evil, which would Require an entire Book to Explain WHY: beCause it is a very Contentious Subject. Indeed, someone would Immediately say, "O Peacock, are you Suggesting that the Divided States of United Lies should not have gone to War Against Afghanistan, when those 19 Saudi Arabians Attacked us on September 11, 2001?" Well, just Ask yourself if it makes any Sense that we should Attack one Country for what the People of some other Country did to US? For Example, Suppose that China Attacked US for something that was done to them by the North Koreans, would that make any Sense? How about Russia Dropping some Hydrogen Bombs on US for something that Israel did to the Iranians or Palestinians? After all, there are more Jews in New York City, than in the Land of Israel. Therefore, the Russians could Conclude that the Red Jew Bankers in New York City were Responsible for what the Israelis did in Iran: beCause they are Financed by Washington Congressmen and New York Bankers. But, most Americans would say that such a Bombing would be Unjust, and they would be Right, except that God would say, "Whosoever Blesses Israel shall be Blest, and whosoever Curses Israel shall be Cursed," which also makes some Sense to an Israeli, who Naturally Considers himself to be one of the "Chosen Ones," who can Massacre entire Nations of Midianites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Amorites, Jebusites, Canaanites, and other Heathen Nations: beCause of having Permission from GOD. (See: Exodus 23:23; Deuteronomy 7; 20:17—20, and Remember what Americans did in Iraq to their Groves of Date Palms, and Israelis did in Palestine to their Olive Trees; see Numbers 31, and Judges 6—7 for Examples.)

Sergeant Mallard

When I first got to Vietnam, Staff Sergeant Mallard asked me to make some Doors for the Mess Hall. However, I could not Find any Straight 2"x4"x8' Boards; and therefore, I told him so, and asked him what I should do about it? His Response was, "Shit some." So, I went to the Latrine, and sat there on a Hole for the Remainder of the Day; but, behold, no 2x4's came Out! So, that Evening at the Normal Meeting of the Platoon, he asked me if I got the Doors done? And I said, "No sir, I couldn't get the 2x4's to come Out!" So, he says, "Are you saying that you have been in the Latrine all Afternoon?" I says, "Yes, Sergeant, you told me to Shit them, and I Tried; but, it did not Work." Therefore, you can Imagine how many Friends that I Gained with that Statement, one of which was Steve Whirley from California, who became a Good Friend from that Day onward. So, the next Day Sergeant Mallard came up with some 2x4's, and I went to Work Constructing those Doors; but, there was no Clamp nor Vise for Holding the Wood in Place while I Worked on it. In Fact, there was not even a Table or Workbench to Work on. So, I asked him if he could "Help me to make the Doors, since there is no Vise," and he said: "I'm too Busy." So, I had to Use my own Weight to Hold the Boards while I Worked on them, laying them on the Ground, and still had them Finished in 2 Days, and Hung on the Mess Hall Entrance and Exit, which Remained there the entire Time that we were there, and might even still be there: beCause of being Well-made, even like the Screen Door on my own Rock House. So, then I went to Sergeant Mallard's Private Room to ask him what else he would like me to do for him? And when I Knocked, he says: "Come in." So, I Opened the Door and went in, only to find him sitting on his Bed, "reading" a Playboy Magazine. Therefore, I Thought to myself, "This Guy has Time for that Trash; but, is too Busy to Help me," which Thought Naturally Appeared on my Face, which Caused his Ears to get Red for Shame; but, he made no Apologies. So, he Lost my Respect from there on. Moreover, he rarely showed up at any Work Site, and never did anything when he did show up, even though there was lots of Work to be done, and about 10 Times more Work than we could Reasonably do.

240 Cubic Yards of Concrete in 2 Weeks

Just for an Example of what I Mean by having 10 Times more Work than we could do, I must tell you about a Concrete Bridge Abutment that 6 of us Military Slaves had to Finish within 2 Weeks, by Mixing up 219 Cubic Yards of Concrete with a One-half-cubic-yard Mixer, by using Shovels by Hand, and by Bailing the Water Out of a Creek that was Under the Bridge by Means of a Bucket and Rope. The Creek was about 16 feet below the Bridge. So, we would Shovel in the Sand and Gravel, and empty three 90-pound Bags of Cement into the Hopper, and Dump it into the Mixer, and then Add the Water; and after it was Mixed, it was Wheeled in Wheelbarrows over to a Wooden Shoot, which ran down into a Wooden Form that some other Squad had Erected before we got there, who had all been Killed while Working on it, which Form needed some Repairs and Strengthening, which required a couple of Day's of Work to get it all Ready. Well, at any rate, we were given 2 Hours of Sleep per Night during those 2 Weeks, and Sergeant Mallard Promised us that we would have 3 Days Off for doing it, IF we got it Done in 2 Weeks; but, when we got Finished within those 2 Weeks, the entire Company Moved to another Camp, where the Temperature at Noon was 130ºF in the Shade! Moreover, the 3-days Off never Happened, which was Replaced by thousands of Sand Bags to Fill. Furthermore, by the End of that 2 Weeks, there were only 2 of us left Working on it: because all of the others were Worn Out. Yes, a half Black White Man by the Name of McGraw was the only one who could keep up with me, and he finally went Insane and got himself 2 Rifles and Imagined that he was Wyatt Earp, or one of his Near Relatives, and began Shooting and Singing from the Top of a Bunker, who was Immediately Caught when his Bullets ran Out, and was Hauled Away to a Nut House in Japan. We never Heard from him again.

McGlawn

Now, as if Sergeant Mallard's Shame was not Great Enough, he Offered to Pay a Private McGlawn $500 for Killing me, which McGlawn Confessed after I made Friends with him. Indeed, he was doing his Best to Work up some Hate for me, such as Driving his Dumptruck full of Gravel at 40 MpH, with me in the Rear in of it, sitting on the Gravel, and would Deliberately Hit every Hole in the Road that he could, in Order to make the Truck Bounce as Roughly as Possible, Apparently Attempting to make me Angry with him, even though I did not Mention it to him; but, some other Men did. Well, after a Month or so, McGlawn could not bring himself to Hate me Enough to Want to Murder me; nor did he Find the Opportunity: because no Vietcong Attacked us, which might have given to him an Excuse, which was WHY there were so many Officers and Sergeants Killed during that Evil War: because they were getting Killed by our own Men, which was Understandable. Nevertheless, McGlawn Appeared to be very Unhappy with me. Therefore, he was sitting alone on a Picnic Table, one Evening, when I went and sat down beside him, and after a Minute or so, I said: "I Know that I am pretty Stupid, and not very Good Looking; but, I am Wondering if I have ever Said or Done any Evil Thing to you that would give to you any Cause for Hating me?" And he said, "No, I can't Think of anything." And I said, "Well, if I have, would you Please Forgive me?" And he broke down and Cried and said, "I am Wondering if you will Forgive me?" And I said, "Of course." And then he Confessed what Sergeant Mallard had Planned for me, which was rather Shocking; but, quite Believable.

Lieutenant Black

Within a Month of being in Vietnam, we went to Work on another one of those Screened-in Sheds, which worked as Barracks, which had Concrete Floors, Wooden Walls with 4'x8'x1/2" Plywood on the Bottom 4 feet, and 3 feet of Screen above the Plywood, and a Tin Roof, which made them somewhat like little Ovens during the Heat of the Day; but, at Night they Cooled Off enough to get to Sleep by 9 PM, and especially if one should Drink a couple of Cold Beers just before going to Bed. Well, at any rate, Lieutenant Black was in Charge of our Platoon, and Specifically in Charge of the Squad that I was in, who was Looking for some Way to get me "Busted," as they say, or "Demoted" to a Lower Rang. So, he did his Best to Pick on me, Apparently Attempting to make me Angry, and everyone else Knew it. So, I Decided to Pick on him. Indeed, I had my own Way of doing it, which Worked very Well. First of all, he had me Driving Nails, and said that I was not Working Fast Enough. "Speed it up," he said. So, I took that as a Q to SLOW DOWN! Yes, I just Barely Hit the Nail, and Swung the Hammer very Slowly, which Caused him to come over to Stare at me while I continued to do it. Meanwhile, everyone else had completely Stopped Working, and was just Standing there Watching the Lieutenant and me: because it was Beginning to get Interesting, since I had the Hammer in my Right Hand, and could have Use it Judiciously on the Crown of his Head; but, the Song, "Yield not to Temptations," was then passing through my Mind. So, the Lieutenant said, "If you do not Obey Orders, I am going to have you Court Marshalled." And I said, "Well, I Doubt that you would Win the Case, since I am at least Driving in a Nail, while all of these other Men are Standing here doing nothing at all." And they all just Laughed at him, which Caused him to Leave. So, the next Day I was Assigned to Clean the Latrines, which had 50-gallon Barrels Cut in Half, and Placed just under each Hole, where the Men would sit and do their "Business," as they say; and when those Barrels got Full, or even half Full, someone would have to Drag them Out from under the Seats through a Small Back Door, and pour some Diesel Fuel into the Barrels with the Dung, and Light them on Fire, in order to not have to Bury the Dung and Piss in some Stinking Unsanitary Hole, whereas the Vietnamese just put their Dung and Piss into the River, or Rice Patty, or along the Roadside, or wherever it was Convenient at the Time that "Nature Called" them to "go." Indeed, it was not Uncommon to See Human Dung Floating around on the Water in Rice Patties, even while Women with Bare Legs would be Working in such Fields, all Day long, bent over Planting Rice.

Now, it came to pass that I got up the next Morning to Clean the Latrines, and Lieutenant Black went into the Officer's Latrine to do his "Business," and I just Happened to Raise the Back Door, in Order to Pull Out that Barrel, when I Noticed some Big Balls Hanging there, and then Satan Tempted me to do something for them, such as put a Noose around them, and Hang them to a Nail on the Backside of the Latrine; but, after Considering the Consequences of getting Caught, I figured that it would be Better to do that some other Day, when I was not Assigned to Cleaning the Latrines. After all, someone had to Clean them Regularly: because half of the Men had Diarrheas the entire Time! In Fact, one Young Man by the Name of Geno was a Regular Contributor to that Worthy Cause, and also had to Burn those Barrels now and then. Well, at any rate, I had to Figure out what to Do with those Balls, in Order to make Sure that Lieutenant Black did not Assign me to that Job, again. So, while he was Sitting on the Hot Seat, I Proceeded to pour some of that Diesel Fuel into that Barrel, while he was still Squatting over it, and about half way Finished with his "Business," which Naturally sent the Smell of Diesel up through the Hole. Now, if I could have had a Hidden Video Camera right in front of him, I am Sure that it would have Captured a very Unusual Expression on that Lieutenant's Face, which would have been Worthy to Publish to the entire World by Means of "America's Funniest Home Videos," or at least in the National Geographic Magazine! Nevertheless, only the Central Unintelligent Agency and the Federal Burden of Investigation had such Capabilities during those Days. Howbeit, when I Struck a Match just Outside of that Back Door, that Lieutenant Naturally Assumed that it was going into that Barrel: beCause he could Obviously Smell the Diesel, and also Knew what the Process was for "Treating" the Dung. Therefore, with his own Dung still Hanging Out, he jumps up and Causes it to Fall into his own Underpants, which brought about a Stream of Profanity that would make a Sailer Blush, as they say. So, I quickly reached under there with my Glove on, and brought that Barrel Out with my Left Hand, about 6 to 8 feet from the Latrine, and Tossed that Match into it, and then picked up a Stick to Stir it Well. Meanwhile, you can Imagine the Look on that Lieutenant's Face when he finally came Out of the Door, and Discovered his Favorite Specialist, Stirring that Pot of Dung with the Diesel Fuel. Yes, he would have been Happy to Kill me right then and there, except that he did not have his Pistol on himself. Nevertheless, that was the Last Time that I got that Assignment! After all, he probably Imagined what some Soldier like me could easily do with a very Sharp Knife during the next Morning, if I had Wanted to! Indeed, it was a Convenience at the Time, which was only Bypassed beCause of my Christian Beliefs. However, there were other Men who would have probably Gladly done it, if they had Thought of it; and they would have most likely not been Caught: beCause of the Location of that Latrine, and the Convenience of Lifting up that Little Back Door, which had a Wire that Hung on a Nail for Holding it up during the "Operation Peacemakers."

Sleeping on Guard

Now, a couple of Months after that, Lieutenant Black and another Sergeant Devised a Plan to Entrap me, by "Catching" me Sleeping on Guard, which was a fairly easy Thing to do: because almost every other Night the Vietcong would be Sending in Mortars to Wake us up, any Time from 10 PM to 2 AM, which could Land just about anywhere within the Compound by Chance. Therefore, having Guard Duty every other Night, and getting Woke up every Second or Third Night, it was just about Impossible to get Enough Sleep. So, it was a Common Thing to "Catch" someone Sleeping. However, the Sergeant of the Guard usually Checked on his Guards alone, by himself, so that anyone who got "Caught" could simply Deny that he was Sleeping on Guard, and thus not be Court Marshalled: beCause it Required at least 2 Witnesses to Stand up in Court. In Fact, a Private Jones had been "Caught," and was Deprived of a Rank, along with his Pay; but, the Second Time that he got "Caught," he told the Captain of the Company that he was NOT Sleeping on Guard; and therefore, he got Out of it. However, I was entirely too Honest to Lie about something so Serious. So, when the Sergeant "Turned me In," but not Inside Out, I told the Captain that it was True that I had been Sleeping on Guard at Times; but, not the Night that the Sergeant Supposedly "Caught" me. So, the Captain Demoted me one Rank, and Assigned me to KP for a Month each Evening. And then, the next Morning, he gave a little Speech to the entire Company, telling how it used to be that Soldiers were Executed for Sleeping on Guard. (I would Assume that he was Referring to Ancient Romans, who had so many Slaves that they could Afford to Kill them for the most Trivial Things, such as not Cleaning a Plate Thoroughly, or Burning a Loaf of Bread.) Well, at any rate, I "Served" my Time for my Confession. However, the next Time that they put me on Guard, the Sergeant of the Guard came with his Lieutenant, so that there would be 2 Witnesses Against me. So, I was up on one of the Bunkers, which were all Covered with Sand Bags; and I had my Flak Jacket on, and my Helmet, along with a Mosquito Net over the Helmet and over my Face, with my Head Hung Down, as if I were Sleeping; and my Rifle was Fixed with the Bayonet between my Legs, while I Patiently Waited for the Enemy to Appear. And then that Lieutenant and Sergeant came with a Flashlight, and barely Flashed it onto me before shutting it Off. (They probably just wanted to make Sure that it was me, and not some Marijuana-smoking Buddy of theirs.) Well, at any rate, the Lieutenant Decided to come up on the Bunker where I was, and Discover for himself if I was Sleeping. So, I Waited with Great Anticipation for that Lieutenant to get himself in just Exactly the Right Spot, and then, just as Quickly as Lightning Strikes, I Jumped Up and Thrust that Bayonet within 2 inches of his Belly, and Hallered "HALT!"

Now, I do not Know whether or not that Lieutenant had to go and Clean his Underwear, as that other Lieutenant had to do; but, for Sure he was nearly Frightened to Death, Standing there Shaking and Speechless! After all, he had probably never seen anyone Move so Quickly; but, to Realize that he could have been Killed, Legally, for getting onto my Bunker without any Warning, made it a very Unwise Idea. Indeed, a Guard in the Dark might not Recognize a Fellow Soldier, and might just Assume that it had to be an Enemy who Needed Killing. For Example, it was not long after that when a "Gook" not only got onto one of those Bunkers; but, he also Killed 3 of our Men by throwing a Grenade into the Bunker, which Caused it to Collapse. However, there was a Port Hole that was just large enough for one of the Men in there to Escape through it, who weighed more than 200 Pounds, and the Hole was only about 8 inches high and 20 inches long; but, Fear can do Strange Things for People. However, the Man who Escaped was Blinded. And all of that Happened in spite of shooting up Flares just before it Happened, and in spite of having several Rows of Concentina Wire between us and them. In Fact, 2 of them had Worked their Way through those Wires with Great Patience, by Digging Shallow Trenches for themselves to lie in, while slowly Clipping the Wires (which our Men Heard Snapping), and Moving those Wires to one Side, in order to make a Hole to Crawl Through as they Moved themselves toward the Bunker. Moreover, I Suppose that they had no Plan for getting Out of there, and just Expected to Die for a Just Cause, the same as many Americans would Bravely Die if the Chinese came over here and Occupied our Country. Yes, many Americans would just Naturally Resist them, even as the People of Afghanistan and Iraq have Resisted US, and for a Just Cause: beCause we have no "Business" being over there doing our "Business" on their Heads. Well, at any rate, about 2 A.M. that Morning, our Men were Changing Guards, and one of them Looked Out of the Port Hole, and behold, there were 2 Bare Legs showing through the Hole; but, Faintly Showing: beCause it was Pitch Black Outside, except for the Remaining Light from a Flare. So, one of those Men Swung his .50-Caliber Machine Gun around, and Opened Fire on those Legs, which soon Jumped Out of the Way, along with the Body, of course, which Tossed a Live Grenade into the GI's Bed, which was Inside of the Bunker, which was also Pitch Black, or else someone might have Quickly Found that Grenades and Tossed it Out of the Doorway. So, all that they could do was to "Hit the Floor" and Wait for Doomsday! Then that entire Company was Alerted with a Siren, and they all ran out with their Weapons for a "Mad Minute," which Means that everyone Fires in the Direction of the Enemy around the Perimeter of the Compound for one Minute, Hoping to Hit whomever might be Out there in the Dark. In other Words, the Area was SPRAYED with Bullets, which Paid Off: beCause they Reported that they Discovered 50 Dead Bodies out there the next Morning, even though it was probably more like 5 Bodies: beCause Americans have a Tendency to Exaggerate all such Things, as you can read for yourself in Wikipedia, which does not give even one millionth of the Sad Stories that could be Told, such as that one.

Bad Water

Now, after Drinking the Army's "Treated" Water, which was Gathered from Downstream from a Town, I (and most others) Contracted Daily Diarrheas. Therefore, after reading the Admonition of the Apostle Paul to his Adopted Son, Timothy, to "No drink water; but, drink a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities," (First Timothy 5:23) I Decided to not Drink any more of their "Holy" Water, and within a Week the Diarrhea STOPPED! So, you might be Wondering what I did for Liquid in such a Hot Climate, since we were Rationed to only 2 Beers per Day? Well, I Discovered that the Water that was on the String Beans in the Mess Hall was Drinkable, as well as the Juice on any Kind of Canned Fruits. So, that and the Beer was all that I Drank for the Remainder of that Year, since I Knew how BAD Coke was, which I never Drank at all. So, after Sweating all Day, you can Imagine how GOOD those Beers Tasted every Evening. (Moreover, to make Matters Worse, I find the Water is still Unfit to Drink, even where I Live, which is WHY that I have not Drank any Water in Months.)

Kontum Massacre

Now, it was Reported that the Place where we were Camped Out, at an Abandoned French Outpost, had been Overrun by 500 or so Vietcong, some Time before we Arrived there, whereby all of the Americans, who Amounted to more than 100, had been "Massacred," along with more Prostitutes than GI's: because they had been Invited to a Military "Party"! However, I do not Know for Sure if that was the Case; but, it was a Believable Story: beCause it was not Uncommon for the Vietnamese Ladies who did the Laundry to have "a little hanky panky" with the Men. Moreover, it was Reported that the entire Compound had been Fully Lighted with Flood Lights, which they Trusted in, which did not Save them: beCause they were all Drunk, including the Captain of the Company! Yes, they were having a Big Party, and got "Caught" with their Pants Down, you might say. Moreover, it was also Reported that the Massacre was never Reported in American Newspapers, nor by the General Media: beCause of the Great Shame that would have been Revealed by a Thorough Congressional Investigation. After all, there were some Prostitutes who did Survive it, and one of them had Drawn Out Maps of the Compound: so that the Vietnamese Knew where everything was Located. Therefore, they are probably among the 58,000+ Americans who Needlessly got Killed over there.

Dak To (pronounced Dawk Too / as in Toenail)

Now, the "Mountain Yards" needed a "Hospital" Built for them, which 2 of our Squads were Assigned to do, while our Home Base was near Dak To, which was about an Hour away from the Village of the so-called "Mountain Yards," who Lived in Bamboo Huts with Thatched Roofs and Walls. So, we moved into a Tent that had been Pitched there for us by some Infantry Company, who were going to Guard us while we Worked. So, the first Night Proved to be most Interesting: because the Vietcong Decided to Attack the Village of about 500 People, and Burn their Huts to the Ground, which they Managed to do before the Infantry could take Action to do anything about it. However, the "Gooks" made the Mistake of Shooting at our Infantry, who got one Man Slightly Wounded, while 50 or so of them were laying Dead the next Morning, not far from our Tent, and most of them were just Teenagers, who had their Buttockses Shredded with Bullets from the Machine Gun, which somehow Mixed Dirt with their Shredded Flesh, which was Dangling like little Fingers on their Legs, which made an Awful Sight to See with Blood all around, and Guts Hanging Out, which made everyone Sick, except for that Lieutenant Black, who Invited us to Breakfast; but, no one else was Hungry. However, it was Difficult to say just Exactly how many of them got Killed: because it was Customary for them to Tie "Commo" Wires to their Ankles, so that their Buddies could Drag Back their Dead Bodies, if they did not Return by Morning Light; and, some of those Wires had been Shot Off in the War. Indeed, there had been Green Tracer Bullets from the Weapons of the Vietcong going right through our Tent, which held about 14 Men, including Lieutenant Black. Therefore, when the Bullets with Red Tracers started going through the Tent in the other Direction, Private Jones asked me what they should all do, since he Believed in God, and Knew that I was Reading the Bible, daily, which gave to him Confidence in me. So, I said, "Just lie on your Backs, and Cover yourselves with your Flak Jackets spread out over your Bodies, and Cover your Faces with your Helmets." So, everyone Obeyed, including Lieutenant Black, who had nothing to say, and no Idea what to do. However, the Squad Leader said that shortly after that some little Voice told him to get Out of his Bed, and get into a Fox Hole that was within 6 feet of him, which he did, Thank God, or else he would have been the Victim of a Grenade, which went Off right Inside of one of his Boots! But, everyone else stayed put, and no one got Hurt, in spite of another Grenade that went Off within 6 feet of my own Head, which was probably WHY that little Voice was Warning me to get Covered up! In Fact, if I had not Obeyed, I would probably not be here to tell about it, which goes back to the Story about those Cloth Gloves that I had Lost in the Coal Bin as a Child: beCause of NOT Obeying that little Voice, which most People do not even Hear, if you can Believe it! In other Words, God has Abandoned them to some Degree, and probably beCause of not Listening for that Voice, nor Obeying it when they Heard it, as Children.

The Still Small Voice

For Example, about one Year Ago, I went to Town to get some Lumber, and the Man who Sold it asked me if I Needed some Heavy Corrugated Tin Roofing? So, I said, "Where is it?" And he showed it to me; and I Prayed about it, and the little Voice said, "Get 13 Sheets of it." However, I had no Idea what Exactly I would Use it for; but, at 10$ per Sheet, 3' wide and 26' long, and a Heavy Gage of Metal, I figured that it was a Real Bargain: because similar Roofing Costs about 80$ per Sheet. So, Ralph Holland and I Loaded up the 13 Sheets on the 18' Trailer, and came on Home with it, and Unloaded it. Then a Month or so later we used 3 Sheets of it to Repair the "Fasting Sanitarium" in the Woods. But, just this Last Week we used the other 10 Sheets to make a Shed Roof for Covering Firewood. So, it turned out to be a Good Investment, Saving us hundreds of Dollars, just for Listening to and Obeying that "Still Small Voice," as the Scriptures call it. (See: First Kings 19:12.) So, whenever you are in a War, it is Especially Important to be Humble and Obedient to the Urgings of the Holy Spirit.

Interrogation by Helicopters

Now, concerning Dak To, when I left Vietnam just before Christmas in 1969, I was told by a Young Man on the Airplane that the North Vietnamese had Burrowed under a Mountain and also under a River, and came right up Inside of the Compound at Dak To, and Killed 193 Americans in 3 Days of Fierce Fighting; and also Destroyed a Bunker that had 10 feet of Sand Bags on the Roof of it, where all of the Officers had taken Refuge, as well as all of the Sergeants, except for the First Sergeant, who went Out and Fought with the "Gooks," and Saved his own Life by doing so: beCause a Mortar made a Direct Hit on that Bunker, and Leveled it! However, I have not been Able to Discover any more Information about it, and do not Know for Sure that it even Happened, since I was not there; but, I am pretty Sure that whatever Happened, the WHOLE Truth would not be Revealed in America: beCause the News Media is Famous for Cover-ups, Lies, and Propaganda. (See: The Peabrain Peacock Investigates September 11!) Moreover, seeing that all but a few Americans were Supposed to have been Killed in that "Massacre," who would be Able to make a Full Report, since there were only about 200 Men there? So, that Remains a Mystery, since the Young Man on the Airplane seemed to be Sincere, who also told me how that he was an Eyewitness to Americans Mistreating Captured North Vietnamese, by Interrogating them while Flying in a Helicopter, whereby the Americans would Ask the "Gooks" Questions; and, if they did not get an Answer, they would push one of them Out of the Helicopter, being about a quarter of a Mile up in the Sky. So, after 3 of the "Gooks" had been Pushed Out, the Remaining 3 were Ready to Talk! And I said to him, "Surely the Americans would not do anything like that, would they?" And he said, "I Swear to God that they did! I was in the Helicopter when they did it! But, don't tell anyone that I said it: because they Threatened to Kill me, if I Ratted on them."

Torturing the "Enemies"

Now, that brings up an Interesting Subject, which has been Discussed, Worldwide: beCause of American Prison Camps, like the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center in Cuba, which I Mentioned in a Previous Chapter, as well as the Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq, which are just 2 Well-known Examples of American "Justice," or "Injustice," Depending on whose Side you are on — the Federal Government's Side, or God's Side, who Naturally has a Loftier View of Life and Death than most People do, who have a Tendency to Try to Justify any Kind of Evil Deed that is in their Favor, whereas God does not have to Defend himself, since he has not Committed any such Evils: beCause God has the Right to Take Away Life: beCause he Gave Life, whereas People have no such Right: because People have not Given Life to any Thing. However, it seems that God Authorizes the Killing of his Enemies, and even Commands People to do his Dirty Work for him: because he Apparently does not like the Smell of Blood and Guts and the STINK that might come Out of them after Rotting in the Heat for a Day or 2; or, Worse yet, after a Week or 2, when a Dead Body can be Smelled for a quarter of a Mile Away, if the Wind is Blowing in your Direction! However, it could be that God has nothing to do with any of it, except to maybe Rescue someone from it, or to bring about a certain Situation whereby his Overall Master Plan is being Fulfilled, whatever it might be. Indeed, some People would say that he Allows all such Evil Things for a Good Purpose, which will be Revealed during the Future, "when we all get to Heaven." However, seeing that no one is going to Heaven, that Religious Philosophy is Extremely Doubtful. (See: Do People go to Heaven when they Die??) Nevertheless, there is some Evidence that God is taking a Part in it all, and doing his Best to Favor those People who are Rich Enough to Afford the Latest Technical Military Equipment, such as those Unmanned American Drones that Hover Over an Enemy Territory and Spy on them, and even Shoot them without any Way for them to Shoot US! Yes, that seems to be the Best Way for Americans to Murder Innocent Women and Children in Foreign Lands; but, when it comes to Men, they have to be Captured and Tortured to Death, or whatever is Necessary for us to Extract all of the Information that they might Know, which is most likely next to nothing! 

For Example, Suppose that the North Vietnamese had Captured ME, and had taken me to some Prison Camp in North Vietnam, where they could Interrogate me, Torture me, and thus make me Love them? Well, first of all, I did not Know anything about Military Maneuvers: because no one Confided any such Information in my Ears, nor did I ever Listen in on any Top Secret Meetings for Military Plans to Build a Bridge, Bunker, nor whatever. Therefore, they could have Tortured me unto Death, and I still could not have "Confessed" anything: beCause I never Knew anything to Confess, except that I was just an Ignorant Fool who Joined an Anti-Christ Army! Therefore, it is not Presumptuous to say that perhaps 90% or more of the Soldiers have no Idea what the Military Tactics might be. For Example, the Men in World War 2 did not Know that they were going to make a Landing on the Beach at Normandy, France, until the very Day that they Departed for it! So, that did not give to them any Time to Think about it, Discuss it, Send Messages to the Enemies, nor even get their Last Letters written to their Girl Friends, Wives, Mothers, Fathers, and whomever, Explaining the Insanity of what they were about to do! Furthermore, it would have been Forbidden, even if they had Known it 2 Months before they Departed to their Red Watery Graves. So, let us say that the Germans had somehow Captured 2 Normal American GI's, in England, and had taken them into some Underground Bunker for an Interrogation, and had Questioned them, Tortured them, and half Killed them, what could they have Learned from them? NOTHING! However, if they could have Captured some General or even Dwight David Eisenhower (Ike), himself, they might have Heard him say, "Well, we have not Totally Decided just where we Plan on Landing for the Invasion; but, it will probably be in some Port: because only an Ignorant Fool would even Consider Landing on a Beach, since it would be a Duck Hunt, whereby everyone would be Exposed on the Beach, and would thus be Easy Targets to Shoot from one of those Hardened Concrete German Bunkers over there (which, by the way, were not Knocked Out by 50,000 Tons of American Bombs during one Morning, called D Day. Indeed, not even one Bunk). Moreover, I Love my Men too much to Deliberately put them in such a Dangerous Place, Knowing that thousands of them would be Killed for it, when it would be far more Practical to just Surrender to you Gentlemen, just as long as you Promise to not Mistreat us any more than you have Mistreated the Norwegians, Danes, Austrians, Hollanders, and the French, who are still Drinking Wine, Making Bread, and carrying on with Life as they Normally have, even though they have Lost a few of their Paintings and Idols to the Germans, who probably have Plans for Housing them more Properly in some Dry Salt Mine, where they will be Better Preserved for Future Generations, who will no doubt Look at them and Wonder why anyone would Want to bother to Pack them Home, let alone Die for them! Indeed, if I could Collect all of them into one Big Wooden Barn, I would Gladly Light it on Fire, and say: 'Good Ridding to Bad Rubbish.' However, you and I Know that no such a Thing will ever Happen: because there are Literally BILLIONS of Paintings and Idols in this World of Wonders. Moreover, there are thousands more being Produced each Day. Therefore, it is Doubtful that we will ever get Rid of all of them, even if God Commands us to." At which Time those Germans would say something like this: "Well, General, those Paintings and Idols are Meaningless to us, also: beCause we were not Taught how to Appreciate Fine Art; but, Adolf Apparently Loves it, and we are Working for him and those Russian Communists, who will no doubt Confiscate those Paintings as soon as they Conquer us: beCause God Supposedly Hates all such Paintings and Idols, which is WHY he is Allowing those Russians to get them from us, so that they can Worship them, and thus Corrupt themselves just like US! However, we Know that you would not Believe any such Things: because your God does not Believe in his own Old Testament, Right?" And Ike would say something like this: "Well, some Times it is Convenient to Borrow a few Truths from the Old Testament, if they Fit the Situation, and are Needed for Justifying any Thing, such as this War; but, for the most part, we Live by the New Testament, which Teaches us to not Resist Evil; but, to Turn the other Cheek, as Jesus said. Therefore, if you Want to Torture me to Death, go Ahead: beCause I will not Resist you, even though I would Prefer to tell you everything that I Know, which could be Fit into a Thimble, along with your Finger, also: beCause I do not even Know how to Make Peace with my Enemies, since the Bible does not Teach to us HOW to do any such Practical Things." And those Germans might say, "Well, Ike, you Know that the Bible does Teach to not Resist the Powers that God has Ordained, such as the Third Reich, which has already Conquered several Nations, and has Killed more than 20 million Fools who Resisted us. Therefore, would it not be Wise to Submit to us, and let us Run this Show on the Earth for at least another 20 Years, just in Case Adolf can put all of the People in the World to Work for Good Wages, and thus Make Peace with all People, except for a few Rich Hogs and Lying Red Jews? Moreover, it has been Interesting to Talk with you; but, what we Want to Know is, if you Guys Win this War, will we be Mistreated Worse than we have Treated American Prisoners of War, or will you Allow those Russians to do all of the Mistreating, being a Christian, and all, yourself?" And Ike might say something like this, "Well, I cannot Promise you anything: beCause that will have to be a Decision that is made by the Civil Authorities, like the President and Congress, who are Representatives of the People who Voted for them, who have to do whatever the PEOPLE Want, which is just the Opposite of what you Germans do, who have a Dictator telling you what to Think and Do." And then those Germans might say something like this, "Well, Ike, if you Sincerely Believe that the President of the Divided States of United Lies is a Representative of the People who Voted for him and their Congress, then you are the Most Deceived Idiot in the Divided States of United Lies. For Example, there will come a New President in the Future, who will Attack Iraq, before Iraq Attacks you, which will be called a 'Preemptive Strike,' which will be Unconstitutional, and also Against the Will of the Masses of People who have Voted for him. Moreover, he will Refund Tax Money to Rich People, and Borrow much Money from the Chinese, in Order to Bailout Rich Red Jew Bankers, in Order to Keep the Great False Economy Running Faster toward the Grand Canyon at the End of the Road, which will also be Against the Will of the Masses of People who Voted for him and them who Approve of it. Furthermore, after that President, the People of America will Vote for another President who will Promise to Change it all, and Fix it by Borrowing ten times as much Money from Potential Enemies, with no Hope of ever Paying Off such Great Debts within ten Generations: because America will become the Tail, as Moses Warned in Deuteronomy 28, instead of the Head that it once was. Therefore, if American Politicians are True Representatives of the PEOPLE, how come they almost never Do what the People Want?" And Ike would probably say something like this: "Well, Comrades, I must Agree that you do have a Good Point or 2, since I have never Known of a President who Actually Did what the People Wanted him to Do; but, when you Consider how Powerless a President is within such a System, which is Arranged for making Rich People Richer, while Ignoring the Needs of the Masses of People, you must Understand that Congress makes the Final Decisions. Therefore, we cannot Blame the President for any Failures, unless they are concerning going to War, which is in his Executive Department of the Federal Government, since he is the Commander-in-Chief." And those Germans might say, "Well, that is the Great Advantage for having a Righteous Dictator to make the Final Decisions, which is Exactly what Jesus Christ will do when he Rules this World; but, until then, it is only Wise to Elect the Most Righteous Person who can be Discovered to Rule Over us: beCause that Person will at least TRY to Do what is Right, even if he does make a few Mistakes, as we all do." And then Ike would say something like this, "However, Adolf Hitler is NOT the Most Righteous Person in all of Germany, nor is Joseph Stalin the Most Righteous Person in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republicans. In Fact, he has had more than 10 million Dissenters put to Death for not Loving his Form of Communism, which is ten times more Tyrannical than that of Adolf's, who Obtains the Love of Germans by Speaking the Truth to them, while Stalin Obtains their Obedience by FEAR; but, American Leaders Obtain the Obedience of their Soldiers by FLATTERIES and Empty Promises, such as Tax Refunds that do not Cover even one hundredth of the Higher Costs of Living. Nevertheless, the American Plan is Better than the German Plan, whereby everyone has to Work for a Living: beCause it is the German National Socialist WORKERS' Party (GNSWP), which has no Allowance for Lazy Artists and People like those Red Jew Bankers, who have Forgotten HOW to Work with their Hands, if they ever Knew how." And those Germans might say, "Well, at least you Confess that there are certain Elements of Society that must be Managed by a Righteous Government, or else they will simply make Usury Slaves of the Masses of People, as well as Insurance Slaves and Tax Slaves: beCause it is a little Secret Money Game that they Play, which most People do not Understand: beCause such Subjects are seldom if ever Mentioned in Publish Schools, let alone be Exposed by the News Media, which is Controlled by the same Clan of Red Jews, who also Control your Movie Industries, Book Publishing Companies, Major Newspapers, Magazines, Radios, Televisions, and whatever other Means by which the Masses of People might Discover a Small Portion of the Whole Truth. Indeed, there is no Way that they could ever Discover ALL of the Truth about ALL Subjects: because that would Require YEARS of Brainwashing, just to Cleanse the American Minds, which have been Stuffed with Propagandist Lies — such as Adolf Hitler being a Right Wing Tyrant, when in Fact, he is the Most Loved Person in Germany, who is so Loved that the Russian Germans have Joined us in this War! Yes, more than 300,000 of them have Joined us. Moreover, if the Truth that Adolf Teaches could be Published in the United States, they would also Happily Join us: beCause they are Equally Sick of those Lying Red Jews, who have Control of the Media and Money Supply. Yes, they are the Chief Executives of all Major Insurance Companies, Radio and Television Networks, plus Hospitals, Drug Industries, Oil Industries, and Financial Institutions, including the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation: because it has always been their Profession to make themselves the 'Elite,' who were Born as such from the Beginning: beCause it was God's Master Plan for Teaching to us all Kinds of Good Lessons about the Deceptions of Satan, who is the Father of all such Lying Red Jews, who are not Israelites at all! Indeed, they are IMPOSTORS, who Call themselves Jews, as the Bible says; but, they are NOT White Jews like Jesus Christ and his Disciples, who were Israelites from Galilee! Yes, they were a REMNANT of the Tribes of Israel, who had been taken into Captivity by the Babylonians, among whom were the Chaldeans, who were the Elite Germans, who were Wise Men and Manufacturers of Weapons and Tools of all Kinds: beCause, in God's World, there is a Need for all such Wise Men and Inventors. Moreover, there is also a Need for Priests, whom God Ordained as Teachers and Preachers and Writers: beCause that is their Gift from God, whom he Caused to be Born in the Tribe of Levi, which was the Tribe that Moses and Mary came from, while Joseph came from the Tribe of Judah; but, Caiaphas was an Edomite, or a Red Jew, who became the High Priest without a Right: because he was NOT of the Tribe of LEVI, which alone had the Birthright. Therefore, Caiaphas was an Impostor, along with the other Impostors who Lived at that Time, who Called themselves Jews; but, they were Red Jews, being a Mixture of the Edomites and Israelites." And Ike might say something like this, "Well, I have never Heard of such Things before now; and therefore, I would not Know anything about such Things; but, you could be Right; and, if you are, it makes Perfect Sense: beCause there was an Ancient Division between Esau and Jacob, and between their Descendants, who Envied each other, even as the Jews Envied Jesus: beCause he was Popular with the Masses of People, while the Red Jews, as you call them, had to Rule by Force, rather than by Persuasion, as Adolf Hitler has Apparently done with you Men, which would Explain WHY that all of you Germans are so Willing to Die for him: beCause you are Fully Persuaded within your own Minds that he is Right; but, in America, no such Things are Explained to anyone, whereby someone might draw up a Rational Conclusion for anything: beCause everything is done by Means of CONFUSION. Yes, we have 2 Great Political Parties, which each Blame the other for whatever Problems Arise, in Order to Appease the Masses of People, who Join one Side or the other, and Attempt to Defend the one that they Join, even though in Secret both Parties are Working Together for those same Red Jews: beCause almost all of those CONgressmen have Bought Stocks and/or Bonds in those Red Jew Companies, whereby they are all in Bed with each other, you might say. Yes, almost all of their Decisions must Please the Moneymongers in the Financial Temple, whom the Bible Refers to as Moneychangers, no matter how much it Costs the Tax Slaves and Interest Slaves who Cover the Costs. However, when it comes to making Military Decisions, that is another Subject altogether: beCause the Soldiers never get to Vote for what they might Want, or else they might Choose to NOT Attack the Germans on the Beaches of Normandy: beCause it is Suicidal, and done for no Good Reasons: beCause the German Plan for Peace and Prosperity is Equally as Good, or even Better than the American Plan. After all, the Germans are not in a Great Depression; but, the Americans are. Therefore, it could be that the Germans are Smarter. However, if we Win the War, we will Democratize the Germans, and make them Equally as Confused as we are: beCause that will be more Profitable for the Military Industrial Bankers' Complex, which is Satanic at the Root of it: beCause it Uses Young Ignorant Innocent Men to Fight Battles that are Created by Warmongers and Moneymongers, who have Zero Interest in their Good Health and True Welfare, even though they Invent all Kinds of Sweet Comforting Words for Presidential Speeches, and make Great Parades for the Victims of such Insanity, in Order to Honor the Dead and all such Tear-jerking Emotional Ceremonies, Memorials, Monuments, Dedications, Funerals, and so on: beCause that also brings in more Money for the Capitalists, who Squelch the Truth, and Suppress it as much as Possible, and Pray to God that no one Discovers it and Protests Against such an Evil Red Jew Capitalist Empire. However, even if they do Protest, the Masses of People are so Distracted by their Ball Games, Movies, Sports, Picnics, Comedies on TV, Romance Novels, Music, and whatever they can Distract their Minds by, so that they seldom if ever take the Time to THINK about it: beCause the Masses of People do not have much in their Heads to Think with, seeing that they Greatly Suffer with Chronic Constipation of the Mind! Yes, they are mostly Dull Wits, who cannot Understand the most Simple Deceptions. For Example, when they See a Picture of some Stacked up Dead Bodies, who are little more than Skin and Bones in a Pile of Stink, they just Naturally ASSUME that all such People must have been STARVED TO DEATH! However, it is quite Possible that they merely Contracted Diseases, which CAUSED them to Greatly Lose Weight by Dysentery, whereby their Bodies Reject ALL Food, no matter how much they Eat, until they are Properly Treated by Medical Doctors, and until they have Sanitary Water to Drink, and Proper Food to Eat, which has seldom been the Case during any War since Adam: beCause, with so many Dead Bodies laying all around, Diseases just Naturally Multiply more and more! Yes, it was the same Case for World War One, which Killed more People than were Killed by Weapons! Therefore, all such Pictures can be very Deceiving; but, BELIEVABLE! Yes, who can Deny what they SEE? However, with a WRong Interpretation of what they See in a Picture, they can easily be Deceived: beCause of being Presumptuous: beCause of not Investigating into the FACTS, which all Red Jews Discourage: beCause the Facts might Prove them to be WRong. Indeed, the Facts are Against all such Liars and Deceivers, who have Robbed People of BILLIONS of Dollars, Legally! Yes, the Laws of the Land Protect them: beCause they Control the Lawmakers by Means of their MONEY, even as a Man can Control his Wife by Controlling the Money that he Earns, while she has no Say in the Matter if she Works at Home in the Garden and Kitchen, Attending to her Family. However, if she were 'the Bread Winner,' as they say, then she could Decide how her Money would be Spent. Therefore, he or she who Controls the Money is the Decision Maker, even in any Government; but, Especially in a Democracy, whereby all Officials are Promoted by the People with the most Money, who can get almost anyone Elected by Means of Advertising their Flattering Lies, such as 'No New Taxes,' even though someone must Pay the Piper, as they say. Yes, someone must Pay the Bills, which is Normally the Duty of the Tax Slaves: because they are the only ones who could Pay the Bills: beCause they are the only ones who are Earning any Money. However, the Federal Reserve Banks, themselves, Collect Loads of Interest Money that is NEVER Taxed! Indeed, who ever Heard of the Federal Reserve Banks being TAXED? And yet they Collect HUNDREDS of BILLION of Dollars per Year in INTEREST on their Loans! Therefore, you would Think that they would Pay the Most Taxes, seeing that they are a PRIVATE Corporation, which is neither Federal nor a Reserve: beCause they are Actually BROKE! In Fact, they were always Broke: beCause they never did have as much Silver and Gold as they had Paper Notes that were Exchangeable for Silver and Gold (which have now been done Away with!). Therefore, the Federal Reserve was a Fraud from the Beginning, which most Americans have still not Learned about: beCause of not being Interested in Learning much of any Thing that might do them some Good: beCause their Minds have been Filled with NONSENSE! Yes, they might Know who Won some Ball Game: beCause that is not so Complicated as the Financial and Economic Systems, which are as Complicated as Medical Science, or as Lawyercraft: beCause it has been made into a Special Craft, which not even all Bankers can Understand: beCause of it being made so Complicated! Therefore, if an 'Expert' cannot Understand it, how is some Poor Uneducated Tax Slave supposed to Understand it?"
