#TraffickingVictims held against their will in #Myanmar & forced to work in #ScammingOperations are being forced to sell their organs if they don’t meet quotas, a charity in #Vietnam said Thursday.

The #trafficked citizens - from #China, Vietnam & other countries- are told to target & groom their compatriots, before cajoling them into ploughing money into fake investment platforms & other ruses.

#Vietnam’s “rice bowl” delta region, where #MekongRiver empties into #SouthChinaSea, is predicted to run out of #sand in just over a decade. Losses to riverbed are devastating lives & harming the local economy.

Over the past 2 decades, #HydropowerDams upstream on the #Mekong restricted flow of sand to the delta. And #SandMining to feed Vietnam’s construction boom is depleting resources, according to a major #WorldWideFundForNature (#WWF) report.

The Goodman collection was pieced together by Goodman’s friend Bruce Blowitz, who purchased directly from #artists during his travels in the 1990s to #Vietnam, not long after Vietnam first opened to international markets in a reform called “đổi mới.” Before then, state #censorship of artists forced many to sell and display their works privately.

Mass murderer and War Criminal Henry Kissinger is finally dead!

He won the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Lê Đức Thọ, for their work in orchestrating a ceasefire in the Vietnam War. Two Nobel Prize committee members resigned in protest. During his diplomatic career, Kissinger was involved in orchestrating and/or supporting the Chilean coup and Pinochet dictatorship (over 3,000 killed); the Argentine Dictatorship (up to 30,000 killed); the Pakistani genocide in Bangladesh (3 million killed); and the Genocide in East Timor (up to 300,000 killed).

"A giant of the Republican party...

"Working closely with president Nixon, Kissinger was influential in momentous decisions regarding the Vietnam war including the secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969 and 1970. That was part of what Nixon called the 'madman theory,' an attempt to make North Vietnam believe the US president would do absolutely anything to end the war."

The scandal about #hubertseipel unveiled how the #German non-reaction to the #invasion of #Ukraine in #2014 and the annexation of #Crimea as well as the hesitant and haphazard reaction to the full invasion in #2022 is in part caused by biased or outright pro #Kremlin #journalists narratives.
Media and population accepted and repeated those willingly because 1. They linked well at the time prevalent Anti-Americanism resulting from #Irak, #Afghanistan and even #Vietnam wars
2. They allowed the notorious confrontation, decision & rapid action avoiding society & politics to have an excuse for their inaction.

However the decisive factor shouldn't be if some "expert" is paid by russia or not. It should be the validity of their arguments and positions.
Many more have been invited to talkshows who weren't/aren't paid but stated similarly twisted facts and made pro Russian #propaganda.
Many academics warned about them for years but were never asked. #Media should start inviting them instead.

By supporting #Israel, the apartheid state, the US is pushing Vietnam closer to #China.

Despite the tension between #Vietnam and China due to the 10-Dash-Line dispute in recent years, China managed to heal their relation and to drive a wedge into the US-Vietnam partnership.

Vietnam voted for the #UN resolution of protecting Palestinian civilians in #Gaza. Vietnam has a long established relation with #Palestinians.

#HaLong #HaLongBay #Vietnam #Travel #Photography #TravelPhotography

We're standing at the edge of water that would expand to the horizon were it not for the great mounds of rock rising from the water in the middle and far distance, overlapping enough to remove any sight of where the sea and sky meet. Some of these islets have sheer edges, while others have sharp, jagged rises, and all are at varying heights although most seem to exceed thirty or more metres. Their dark rock is hidden under trees and bushes but they're all pale as there's a humidity in the air slightly misting over the more distant objects in the scene. The sky is a pale blue with some covering of thin cloud but there's no sign of the sun here except in a few reflected, low ripples on the water in the distance. The flat, dirty green and brown water is home to a community of boats, many connected to their neighbours. The boats are low, wooden affairs, little larger than a decent-sized room with some outside space fore and aft. Most have shelter formed from low scaffolding covered by tarpaulins, with blue a common sight. Smaller boats are tied alongside. This is a floating village for all intents and purposes. It feels hot and muggy here this close to the water, with an apparent lack of wind to disturb the sea surface.

Hey #biketooter. Riding a crappy bike through rice fields in #Vietnam has to be one of the best experiences of my life.

Today in Labor History October 1, 1964: The Free Speech Movement began on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, when activist Jack Weinberg was arrested for refusing to show his identification to the campus police while standing at an illegal political literature table. Thousands of students spontaneously surrounded the police car, which remained there for 32 hours, with Weinberg inside. Protesters used the car as a speaker's podium. The Free Speech Movement lasted for two years and was the first mass act of civil disobedience on an American college campus in the 1960s. Students were fighting for, and won, the right to have public political activities on campus, particularly in support of the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War Movements.

Tranquillity is contagious, peace is contagious. One only thinks of the contagiousness of illness, but there is the contagion of serenity and joy.
