Facts and Myths about the Vietnam War - Part 1

April 30 Was the 50th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon
Vietnam was part of French Indochina from 1887 until 1954. This included Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The area now called Vietnam consisted from north to south of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina. Cochinchina was roughly equivalent to South Vietnam. The Japanese occupied Indochina during the World War II years of 1943-1945.
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the victory of Bolshevik Communist “Red” forces under Lenin and Stalin over the White Army’s coalition of Tsarist loyalists, capitalists, and anti-Bolshevik moderates in 1923, the foreign policy of the Soviet Union (USSR) was driven by aggressive ideological Marxism. Communist doctrine was ruthless under Lenin and Stalin and called for an eventual global triumph Communism dominated by the USSR.

The Biblical Comfort of God’s Providence
Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
The Christian doctrine of God’s Providence should be one of the most comforting to Christians. But what is Providence? First let us start with some defining quotes.
Among the briefest but clearest is this statement by Jerry Bridges (1929-2016):
“God’s providence is His constant care for and His absolute rule over all creation for His own glory and the good of His people.”
Chapter 5 of the Westminster Confession of Faith (England, 1647) deals specifically with God’s Providence. In seven paragraphs, covering little more than one page, it spells out the main points of the Reformed Doctrine of Providence. These are supported by more than 77 Scriptural passages, many containing several verses. The first paragraph gives a more nuanced definition of Providence.
Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Surges in English Local Elections

Labour and Tory “Conservatives” Crushed Counter-Indicative for Ukraine War Support
Of the 23 local English Council elections held on May 1, Nigel Farage’s Reform Party gained majority control of 10 Councils, along with two mayors and a seat in Parliament, bringing their number of MPs to five. Nigel Farage was the leader of the Brexit Referendum that got the UK out of the European Union. Farage and his Reform Party are traditional conservatives. The British “Conservative” or Tory Party has for decades become too liberal and too globalist to merit the description of “conservative.” The Reform Party gain in elected Council Members in the 23 local Council elections went from zero to 677. This matches closely the “Conservative” loss of 676 seats in the election. In fact, the “Conservatives” lost their majorities in all of the 15 Councils they previously held.
China’s Thorium Nuclear Power Revolution

Safe, Clean, Cheap, Efficient, and Almost Unlimited Nuclear Power
According to Henry Tillman, CEO of Aiyana Advisory and Research, interviewed by Norwegian political science Professor Glenn Diesen on April 23, China is ten years ahead of the rest of the world in the revolutionary development of thorium as nuclear fuel. China has just made history by activating the world’s first thorium-fueled commercial nuclear reactor in its Manchurian Gobi Desert. According to Engineerine.com, this is a major breakthrough in producing safe, sustainable, and efficient nuclear energy—25 times more efficient according to Tillman. Unlike conventional uranium reactors, this thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) is meltdown-proof and produces minimal long-lived radioactive waste. Thorium is much more abundant than uranium and much safer than uranium. Moreover, it is very clean-burning (98%) and much superior to fossil fuels and uranium-based nuclear fuel in its minimal environmental impact. The Chinese claim Thorium nuclear power will give them 60,000 years of sustainable cheap energy.

What Do You Believe about God?
What do you believe about God? How do we know about God? Some people reject the existence of God and even the concept of God. Many hold that the existence of God is self-evident. A courageous and brilliant Chinese friend once told me that his academic professors in China categorically rejected the existence of God, but in dormitory discussions their students came to the conclusion by observing nature, humanity, and their own experiences and knowledge that there had to be a God and were eager to find out more, which was fortunately available to them through forbidden but available sources. They wanted to know the nature of God and found God through Scripture, radio, and secret contacts and discussions at considerable risk to themselves and contacts.
