The Power Elite Playbook, Population Reduction Through Genocide Part 6

- by Deanna Spingola

Operation Ranch Hand U.S. foreign policy consistently thwarted any independence movements in Southeast Asia by claiming that it endangered our “national security.” Meanwhile they backed governments and armies that engaged in profitable drug trafficking. In addition to U.S. interference in Viet Nam as early as 1945, top brass at the Pentagon suggested that soldiers and bombers be sent to western Laos in 1959. Secret military plans stated that the U.S. government was prepared to use nuclear weapons for these military operations. Perhaps this is the reason the U.S. refused to sign the Declaration on the Prohibition of the Use of Thermo-Nuclear Weapons in 1961.1

Biological and chemical weapons were banned on June 17, 1925 at the Geneva Convention and entered into force on February 8, 1928. However, under Operation Ranch Hand, from 1961 to 1971, the U.S., in a historically unprecedented level of chemical warfare, abhorrent when utilized by others, began a full-scale “defoliation” project in Viet Nam. Defoliation, simply stated, is chemical genocide. The U.S. indiscriminately sprayed 19,395,369 gallons of poisonous herbicide over 6,465,123 acres and 30,305 square miles (1981 figures).2 Aircraft, hand sprayers, trucks, helicopters and boats were used for the “defoliation” of the forests and the inhumane destruction of food crops and their distribution. Monsanto’s profitable Agent Orange contains dioxin, one of the most toxic substances ever produced, an irremovable chemical that accumulates in the body of animals and humans.3

Recently released Department of Defense records indicate that the extent of the contamination and concentration was far greater than previously thought. Viet Nam is the site of the “world’s largest dioxin contamination.” “At least 2.1 million and as many as 4.8 million people were directly sprayed.” South Vietnamese forces continued using the toxic chemicals until 1975. In addition to objectives in North Viet Nam, areas in Laos and Cambodia were also targeted.4 Our military used 27 times more herbicide than typical domestic applications, used to prevent weed growth.5

“The vestigial effects of chemical warfare poisoning continue to plague the health of adult Vietnamese (and ex-GIs) while causing escalated birth defects. Samples of soil, water, food and body fat of Vietnamese citizens continue to reveal dangerously elevated levels of dioxin to the present day.”6 Dioxin accumulates as it moves up the food chain. An animal or fish will have a higher concentration than the plants they have consumed.7 Dioxin exposure results in high infant mortality, congenital malformation, miscarriages, and premature birth.8 Compare this to the horrific incidences of the same kind in Afghanistan and Iraq from the current atrocities of radioactive depleted uranium. While the U.S. government has minimally compensated some U.S. veterans and their affected children, they have yet to compensate their victims in Viet Nam, Korea, or anywhere else.9 In Viet Nam, new generations of Agent Orange victims number at least a million people including fifty thousand children.10
