As you can see here, the Defense Secretary decided to keep the “shocking information” from the American people.

Saville Davis from The Monitor volunteered that his newspaper would not print the story in the form in which it was filed; but they might print a story which said Thieu, on his own, decided to hold out until after the election.

Remember
Remember
The 5th of
November.

Memorandum for the record…
On 11/5/68 Nixon remained nervous about the election’s outcome and then reneged on his commitment to Johnson not to exploit the peace-talk stalemate for political gain.

Even as Johnson refused to exploit evidence of Nixon’s “treason,” Nixon played hardball until the last vote was cast.

Nixon’s Victory
Nixon narrowly prevailed over Humphrey by about 500,000 votes…or less than 1% of the ballots cast.

Gee…nothing to see here.

Do you think they learned any lessons from the 1960 election, whereby ((they)) cheated for Nixon to win, yet Nixon still lost to Kennedy?

Reminds me of Trump beating Hillary. “They never thought she would lose.”

On the day after the election, Rostow relayed to Johnson an FBI intercept which had recorded South Vietnamese Ambassador Bui Diem saying, prior to the American balloting, that he was “keeping his fingers crossed” in hopes of a Nixon victory.


On Nov. 7, Rostow passed along another report to Johnson about the thinking of South Vietnam’s leaders, with a cover letter that read: “If you wish to get the story raw, read the last paragraph, marked.”

What did that “last paragraph”say?

It quoted Major Bui Cong Minh, assistant armed forces attaché at the South Vietnamese Embassy in Washington.

“Major Minh expressed the opinion that the move by Saigon was to help presidential candidate Nixon, and that had Saigon gone to the conference table, presidential candidate Humphrey would probably have won.”

After reading this cable on the morning of Nov. 8 regarding more nefarious reveals about Nixon and his team, Rostow wrote to Johnson, “First reactions may well be wrong. But with this information I think it’s time to blow the whistle on these folks.”

But now Nixon was the president elect. Nixon was now in the driver’s seat and there wasn’t anything Johnson could do to change that.

On Nov. 15…ten days after the election…suspicions of the peace-talk sabotage began seeping into the U.S. news media.

Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer reported, “Top Saigon officials are boasting privately they helped assure the election of Richard M. Nixon. They are pleased about it. ‘We did it,’ one of them said. ‘We helped elect an American President.’”

Even after all the garbage that came out about Nixon’s maneuvering with Vietnam, and even while soldiers were getting killed every day, Johnson’s White House remained tight-lipped about its knowledge of Nixon’s treachery.

☝️☝️☝️Why???

According to the documents in “The ‘X’ Envelope,” the first detailed press inquiry about the peace-talk sabotage came from St. Louis Post reporter, Tom Ottenad…who contacted National Security Advisor, Walt Rostow on Jan. 3, 1969…just 17 days before Johnson would leave office.

More Dead
From the start of Nixon’s presidency in 1969, the U.S. participation in the Vietnam War continued for more than four years at horrendous cost to both the United States and the people of Vietnam. 

Having allegedly made his “secret commitment” to the South Vietnamese regime, Nixon kept searching for violent new ways to get Thieu a better deal than Johnson would have offered.

Seeking what he called “peace with honor,” Nixon invaded Cambodia and stepped up the bombing of North Vietnam.

Before U.S. participation in the war was finally brought to a close in 1973…on terms similar to what had been available to President Johnson in 1968…a million more Vietnamese were estimated to have died.

Those four years also cost the lives of an additional 20,763 U.S. soldiers, with 111,230 wounded.

That’s it for tonight Friends.

For any of you who lost a loved one, or knew someone who died in Vietnam, I hope you will understand what happened behind the scenes. My heart goes out to you.

I found a lot of research into Vietnam, and there is so much we all need to know…about what REALLY was going on in Vietnam.

That will be presented soon!!

Have a great night everyone!

Thank you John C!👇
