Report: legendary Vietnamese general dies
(CNN) — Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, a man credited with major victories against the French and the American military, has died, according to local media reports. Giap was 102.
Giap is credited with the Tet offensive and the siege of Dien Bien Phu.
Born into a family of rice farmers, Giap got involved in politics at an early age. At 18 his politics got him thrown in jail, under suspicion of revolutionary agitation.
He earned a doctorate and students remember him as unusually passionate about military strategy. Theory became reality for Giap in the early 1940s when he joined Ho Chi Minh and battled French colonial forces.
You need not read the entire article’s remaining paragraphs to guess that nowhere within her glowing obituary will reporter, Emma Lacey-Bordeaux, ever manage to reveal that Giap served as a godfather to modern Islamic terrorism. Far be it from her to tell the truth, that Giap tutored modern jihad’s trail-blazing pioneer—and nephew of Nazi-backed Holocaust participant Haj Amin al-Husseini—the particularly repulsive Antisemite Yasser Arafat. Hijacker, terrorist, pedophile plus, along with Al Gore and Barrak Hussein 0bama, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I will use my previous work from a comment at Gates of Vienna to illuminate this obscure but blood-soaked corner of historic evil:
For some real insight into this elaborate and murderous farce, please read through, “The Communist Roots of Palestinian terror “. It is but a chapter from David Meir-Levi’s new book, ”History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression”. Here are just a few of the many money quotes:
The PLO came on the scene at a critical moment in Middle East history. At the Khartoum conference held shortly after the Six-Day war, the defeated and humiliated Arab states confronted the ‘new reality’ of an Israel that seemed unbeatable in conventional warfare. The participants of the conference decided, among other things, to continue the war against Israel as what today would be called a ‘low intensity conflict’. The PLO’s Fatah forces were perfect to carry out this mission.
The Soviets not only armed and trained Palestinian terrorists but also used them to arm and train other professional terrorists by the thousands. The International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (CPSU), the Soviet Security Police (KGB), and Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) all played major roles in this effort. From the late 1960s onwards, moreover, the PLO maintained contact with other terror groups – some of them neo-Nazi and extreme right-wing groups – offering them support and supplies, training and funding.
… Mahmoud Abbas, later to succeed Yassir Arafat as head of the PLO, was a graduate of [Moscow’s] Patrice Lumumba U, where he received his Ph.D. in 1982 after completing a thesis partly based on Holocaust denial.
Here comes one of the real corkers. Everyone is likely familiar with how:
Faced with Arafat’s threats of civil war, he [Jordan’s Hussein] offered the PLO leader a position in the Jordanian parliament. Arafat refused, saying that his only goal in life was to destroy Israel. [emphasis added]
In the above, we see Arafat as the courageous, genocidal anti-Israeli Muslim warrior.
By 1973, Arafat was a Soviet puppet (and would remain such until the fall of the USSR). His adjutants, including Mahmoud Abbas, were being trained by the KGB in guerrilla warfare, espionage, and demolition; and his ideologues had gone to North Vietnam to learn the propaganda Tao of Ho Chi Minh.
Communist misinformation plays no small part in what follows:
Arafat was particularly struck by Ho Chi Minh’s success in mobilizing left-wing sympathizers in Europe and the United States, where activists on American campuses, enthusiastically following the line of North Vietnamese operatives, had succeeded in reframing the Vietnam war from a Communist assault on the south to a struggle for national liberation.
Ho’s chief strategist, General Giap, made it clear to Arafat and his lieutenants that in order to succeed, they too needed to redefine the terms of their struggle. Giap’s counsel was simple but profound: the PLO needed to work in a way that concealed its real goals, permitted strategic deception, and gave the appearance of moderation:
“Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand.”
At the same time that he was getting advice from General Giap, Arafat was also being tutored by Muhammad Yazid, who had been minister of information in two Algerian wartime governments (1958-1962): wipe out the argument that Israel is a small state whose existence is threatened by the Arab states, or the reduction of the Palestinian problem to a question of refugees; instead, present the Palestinian struggle as a struggle for liberation like the others.
Wipe out the impression that in the struggle between the Palestinians and the Zionists, the Zionist is the underdog. Now it is the Arab who is oppressed and victimized in his existence because he is not only facing the Zionists but also world imperialism. [emphasis added]
And there you have it, the transformation is complete. We see Arafat’s—along with the Palestinian peoples’—conversion from fearsome Mujihadeen over to quailing perpetual victims.
The Palestinain-Israeli conflict’s importance cannot be overstated. This agonizingly drawn out modern day Grand-Guignol, served as the mask for Islamic jihad right up until it finally slipped free forever one innocent morning on September 11, 2001.
Communist Russia’s role in Islamic terrorism is not limited merely to Arafat and his brood of genocidal leeches. Please also read, ”The (Russian) Roots of Islamic Terrorism” by Antero Leitzinger.
One can only wonder whether, without Giap’s careful tutelage, Arafat would ever have twigged to the staggeringly successful recasting of himself from Jew-killing Lion of Islam™ over to abused, downtrodden, struggling refugee underdog leader of a people—complete with totally fabricated “identity” and origins—who’ve received countless billions of dollars in financial aid and have absolutely nothing to show for it but graveyards and a Sewage Tsunami™. For those who are unfamiliar with this highly aromatic episode of supreme ironic justice, here is video of the Gaza Sewage Tsunami.
Some of my comments from that time period:
This revolting charade has gone on for far too long. BILLIONS of dollars have been pumped into the Palestinians’ false economy and what do they have to show for it? They were handed free of charge a total economic boon in the form of a sustainable turnkey greenhouse agricultural operation. What became of it? Looted and smashed into rubble out of hatred for the Jews who built it. Foreign aid organizations build them houses so they can use them as ammunition dumps, command centers and sniper outposts that the Jews rightfully come and bulldoze. Then the Palestinians whine about how they have no homes. They were given civilian infrastructure in the form of piping for waste processing that they then stole and turned into qassam rockets to launch into Israel. Then they bleat about their richly deserved sewage tsunami that those pipes were intended to carry away. In their haste to destroy any geological record of Jewish occupation on the Temple Mount, they are excavating irreplaceable archaeological treasures only to smash them into flinders. This reckless digging threatens to undermine their own revered Dome of the Rock. When al Aqsa Mosque comes tumbling down do you doubt that they will blame the Jews for it?
May Giap rot in everlasting hell for having enabled even the slightest fraction of Arafat’s terrorist legacy. Like Islam, North Vietnamese Communism, as with Communism everywhere, is a cancer upon humanity.
