The Glass of Wrath is
Full
 Today,
by doing despicable acts against a patriotic woman,
Communist Vietnam has fully disclosed the nature of thugs,
treason and is adding the last drop to the cup of wrath. The
Vietnamese people in the country have no more patience to
endure. The Chinese domination is not simply a warning, but
is in progress in every aspects of life in Vietnam...

 To
Brian Doan, Letter From An Elder
In
the first week of January, VAALA (Vietnamese American Arts
and Letters Association) opened an exhibition in
Westminster, California with paintings and photos of about
49 Vietnamese American artists. The exhibition led to strong
negative response and provoked a protest
of the
Vietnamese American Community thanked to a photo by Brian
Doan that features a girl wearing T shirt with the Communist
Vietnam flag. This photo is compared to Hitler image in
a Jews' neighborhood. It insults the whole Community of the
Vietnamese who had been victimized by the Communism and
risked their lives to seek for freedom overseas in three
last decades.

Thuy, crown prince of a northern kingdom Trieu. For decades,

defeated Thuc. King Thuc knew that his beloved daughter
disclosed the mystery to Trong Thuy. He killed the princess

 Trafficking
in Vietnam and Empty Faith
Lagon’s assessment, made during
a May 7 meeting on international law, may represent a shift
in how Vietnam is viewed. Besides being a “source country
for women and children trafficked for commercial sexual
exploitation and forced labor,” as the State Department
reports, Vietnam’s regime is increasingly seen as being too
cozy with labor export firms who send tens of thousands of
workers to abusive host countries.

21st
Century Kieus: Vietnamese Women and Human Trafficking
 Nguyen
herself remembers being a daughter trying to do right by her
struggling family, just like in “The Tale of Kieu,” the
Vietnamese epic poem about a young woman sacrificing herself
to save her loved ones. Nguyen once followed to Taiwan a
lady dressed as splendidly then as she herself is now, in
order to earn money to support her family.

An
image that can speak thousands of words
On March 30,
2007, Father Nguyen Van Ly - a Catholic priest was brought
to the trial at Hue without any defense attorney. His only
"Crime" is to challenge the communist regime as he has been
struggling for religious freedom and human rights for
decades in Vietnam. He had been imprisoned several times and
was under house arrested and violently harassed.
During the trial,
Father Ly kept sitting instead of standing before the
judges. As he began to denounce the unjust trial and shout
the anti-Communist slogan, the security agent behind him
covered his mouth in front of hundreds of attendees,
including some Western reporters.
He was sentenced
to 8 years in prison. Four other dissidents were sentenced
suspension to 6 years in prison.
What do we see
from this image? It's the bloody hands of the Communist
regime that have covered the people voices for more than
half a century. I see the end of
Vietnamese Communist regime is imminent.

Letter to Mrs Barbara Sonneborn, the maker of the film
"REGRET TO INFORM"
THE FORGOTTEN
 Barbara Sonnerborn, an American
widow, went to Vietnam to visit the battlefield where in 1972, her
husband Jeff Gurvits
was KIA. There she made
the movie Regret to Inform to express her deep sympathy to the
women who had lost their men in the war. The film doesn't stop at
this point. It goes further to accuse the allied forces of
killing innocent people, burning hamlets, raping women but she
ignores the crimes committed by the North Vietnamese and the
Viet Cong. It turned out to be a propaganda tool for the
Vietnamese Communists. Before the film would be showed to the
public, the PBS/KLRU at Austin invited four Vietnam Veterans
to a 30 minute discussion panel to express their negative
reaction. Michael Do is one of the team. The discussion panel
was hosted by Tom Spencer. Here is the letter from Do to Mrs.
Sonneborn
