About THE MEKONG RIVER

2 Topics at Forum:

    - The Mekong River: China's Genocide or Ecocide?

    - Pros and Cons: Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water?

Based on scientific, economic, social, and environmental analysis. We recognize the  Mekong Delta is facing great long-term dangers. Without the right determination and direction, in the future, the Vietnamese people will suffer a lot of heavy damage. And the main reason is China. Beijing has turned China into the world's leading "super-corporation" in the construction of dams at home and abroad in terms of number and size. To advertise the possibility of building the tallest, largest, deepest and longest dams, Beijing has focused on completing the Three Gorges Dam, calling it the greatest architectural feat in history.

Since China erected a series of giant dams on the Mekong River, drought has become more frequent and more intense in the countries downstream of the river. So far Beijing has refused to enter into water-sharing agreements with any of its neighbours. If China does not abandon its current approach, the prospect of future confrontations that could lead to a regional war is no different from the current situation in the South China Sea.

(excerpt)

Abstract: The Mekong River, the world's 11th longest river, is also the world's 2nd richest river in its biodiversity. Fed by the melting snows of the Tibetan Himalayas and monsoon rains of Southeast Asia, the 2,268 miles Mekong is home to thousands of rare and endangered species of plants and animals. The river and her countless tributaries nourish and support over 100 million people, from China in the north to Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and finally to the 25 million living in Vietnam's Nine Dragon Delta region.

That Delta is not only the most productive agricultural region of Vietnam - its $ 2 Billion of export crops are feeding and sustaining the people of many other nations and making Vietnam the world's second largest rice exporting country in the world at about 5-6 million tons/year.

Today, the Nine Dragon Delta region, and all those residing in the Nine Dragon Basin are threatened by the reckless development and misuse of this great river and her waters. The new threat is far greater than any drought or flood. Water diversion and development projects along the Mekong River are posing new and formidable threats throughout the river's basin, but most particularly in the Delta, threats not only to the Delta inhabitants' way of life and agricultural productivity, but to the river and Delta ecosystems.

Scientists and engineers in Vietnam and abroad are concerned by the environmental damage to the Delta being caused by the development projects far upstream from Vietnam. These projects including large scale hydropower developments in Yunnan in Laos, and recently in Cambodia  have made the massive Mekong water diversion projects undertaken by Thailand. The economic costs and environmental consequences of the projects, however, are being borne by people with no voice in these decisions, by people who reap no benefit from these projects, and borne most heavily by those living and farming far downstream in Mekong Delta (Nine Dragon Delta).

Knowing the causes of disasters for the Mekong River.

Catching the solutions to resolve the problem.

Please do not blame "climate change" but must accept the consequences that are happening today to the Mekong and Nine Dragon Delta due to the management and development NOT in the direction of globalization, which is, developing in the direction of adaptation, compatible with environmental protection.

Based on scientific, economic, social, and environmental analysis. We recognize the  Mekong Delta is facing great long-term dangers. Without the right determination and direction, in the future, the Vietnamese people will suffer a lot of heavy damage. And the main reason is China. Beijing has turned China into the world's leading "super-corporation" in the construction of dams at home and abroad in terms of number and size. To advertise the possibility of building the tallest, largest, deepest and longest dams, Beijing has focused on completing the Three Gorges Dam, calling it the greatest architectural feat in history.

Since China erected a series of giant dams on the Mekong River, drought has become more frequent and more intense in the countries downstream of the river. So far Beijing has refused to enter into water-sharing agreements with any of its neighbours. If China does not abandon its current approach, the prospect of future confrontations that could lead to a regional war is no different from the current situation in the South China Sea.

About FLUORIDATED WATER:

Adding more fluoride into drinking water, you may have more risk of damaged teeth and gum inflammation. Excess amounts of fluoride in drinking water can cause dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, arthritis, bone damage, osteoporosis, muscular damage, fatigue, joint-related problems, and chronicle issues. And, according to Dr. Izabella Wentz, ingesting too much fluoride can cause damage to the thyroid gland and hypothyroid symptoms.

Teeth will become dark brown, and gums often become infected and numb. The discoloration of teeth is explained as

follows: When teeth are growing and exposed to fluoride for a long time, the fluoride element will penetrate deeper into the dentin and the teeth will turn brown and the gum became dark (gum inflammation) as the case of people living in Ninh Hoa, Vietnam. This disease is called dental fluorosis.

TOPIC at Forum:

"Oppenheimer: The Movie, the Conspiracy, the Treason, the Lies – and the Truth"

Oppenheimer, the summer movie sensation, was boosted to blockbuster status by the usual pro-Communists and liberal-left elites of Hollywood and Deep State media. Why? The film is the latest in a decades-long propaganda effort to convince the American people that concern over the world Communist conspiracy and the massive infiltration of Communists and Communist ideology into the U.S. government and American society was a false alarm caused by hysterical “McCarthyism.” 

Mr. Jasper will show the dishonesty of the film and briefly review the voluminous evidence documenting not only the Communist ties of J. Robert Oppenheimer, “father of the atom bomb,” but also of the many high-placed U.S. government officials, scientists, and academics who aided the Soviet Union. The century-long war that began with the Bolshevik Revolution still rages on and Oppenheimer is the latest salvo in the Communist/Deep State deception campaign to rewrite history and whitewash the bloody genocidal record of totalitarian Communism.

"The Vietnamese communists had invaded South Vietnam with support from China, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. On April 30, 1975, Saigon fell. Since then, the entire Vietnam has been under communist ruling. The Vietnamese people lost everything including all Freedoms. Those who believe what the communists propagating about socialism,  those who believe what the Vietnamese Communist Party telling people that everyone would have equality under their regime, now should have their eyes opened. It is too late. Instead of gaining equality and justice, the Vietnamese people have lost everything".
