From a war baby survivor who misses my overseas family & unable to be with them. I'm unable to help them out as much as I want to. My parents never wanted to leave the only place they were born & loved so much. We never chose to be war refugees. We never chose to be displaced. We never chose for our family compound to be bombed 3 times - leaving nothing but rubble & blood stains of our beloved family.

*I've spoken up about this issue multiple times here, since joining in 2022. My family members were & still are affected by the massive damages caused by #USMilitary invasion. The US government used us as guinea pigs to test out their newer #WeaponsOfMassDestruction.
This doesn't even touch upon the countless USA war munitions still left all across Vietnam. *

The term #ecocide had been coined in the late 1960s to describe the U.S. military’s use of #herbicides like #AgentOrange and incendiary weapons like #napalm to battle #guerrilla forces that used jungles and marshes for cover.

Fifty years later, #Vietnam ’s degraded #ecosystems and #dioxin #contaminated soils and waters still reflect the long-term #ecological consequences of the #war. Efforts to restore these damaged landscapes and even to assess the long-term harm have been limited.

#Historians would also argue that the #Vietnam War served as a defining — if not redefining — moment in the history of U.S. party #politics. At the time, there was perhaps no bigger player in sculpting modern #conservatism than William F. Buckley, who in a 1968 column advocated the use of #NuclearBombs in Vietnam. In 1969, President Richard #Nixon nearly heeded that recommendation.

I'm so happy to have met #Vietnamese folks at work party today! Mom is very happy too because she didn't expect to be connected to new friends today - upon picking me up, after the work party. We gave Julie & her daughter a ride to Tillicum Mall - they live only a few blocks away from there. Julie & my Mom chattered away in Vietnamese, for the whole drive over 💗 Julie only came over from Vietnam, less than 2 months ago. My Mom is one of the first new friends she has met. I love it ❤️

I'm already planning crabbing & shrimping adventures with Phanh & Julie & her daughter 😃 They're all so excited & so are we!

I speak about similarities on dehumanization of us/Palestinians. I talk about using us/Palestinians as involuntary experiments with biochemical warfare - using munitions & toxins on us.

I talk about how my family overseas continue to suffer, decades later, from toxic biochemical damages. Agent Orange has now affected more than 4 generations & USA hasn't paid reparations. Thousands of US war munitions are still killing our peoples, to this day!

Please boost. Thanks, in advance ❤️🙌❤️

For those new to following me here, here's the #speech I delivered in #solidarity with #Gaza #Palestine in #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland in front of #BCgovernment legislature buildings

I call out the #farce of self declared true #democratic states in my speech & how our #governments tell us there ain't enough funds to help citizens but they can find billions to fund #EthnicCleansing of Palestinians.

People who still think the USA invaded Vietnam to help citizens get democracy are fools. It was never about helping people suffering. It was always about more geopolitical controls in South East Asia. Vietnam was seen as an easier to conquer via invasion violence than other ASEAN nations. We also had many seaports access.

Korea, Japan & Vietnam were all places where USA imposed themselves, violently. Many military personnel left behind many mixed race babies & many other trails of traumatic devastations. The living, never sold sold our souls out, war survivors, never forgot what the USA did to my birth nation, Vietnam.

I'm now with my 3rd client of the day. He's also from Saigon, Vietnam but from a different district than where my Dad's family lived/worked before we were bombed 3 times in Cholon (District 5). He's from District 8 & fled from Vietnam via escaping through river canals into Laos & then into Thailand. His family fled during the last China-Vietnam war in 1979.
We're talking about missing our birthplaces. Missing our family still stuck overseas. Missing all of our foods & cultures too. The diaspora life is far from the lives our families had before displacements from wars.

It is really nice to chat with this client because of our similar shared backgrounds.

I'm so happy to have met #Vietnamese folks at work party today! Mom is very happy too because she didn't expect to be connected to new friends today - upon picking me up, after the work party. We gave Julie & her daughter a ride to Tillicum Mall - they live only a few blocks away from there. Julie & my Mom chattered away in Vietnamese, for the whole drive over 💗 Julie only came over from Vietnam, less than 2 months ago. My Mom is one of the first new friends she has met. I love it ❤️

I'm already planning crabbing & shrimping adventures with Phanh & Julie & her daughter 😃 They're all so excited & so are we!
