Vietnam war's 'napalm girl' photo turns 40

"World shocked by image of terrified girl running down road." Children burned by napalm. I remember seeing her picture in 1972 and it was a chilling reminder.

"In the picture, the girl will always be 9 years old and wailing "Too hot! Too hot!" as she runs down the road away from her burning Vietnamese village.

She will always be naked after blobs of sticky napalm melted through her clothes and layers of skin like jellied lava.

She will always be a victim without a name.

It only took a second for Associated Press photographer Huynh Cong "Nick" Ut to snap the iconic black-and-white image 40 years ago. It communicated the horrors of the Vietnam War in a way words could never describe, helping to end one of the most divisive wars in American history.

But beneath the photo lies a lesser-known story. It's the tale of a dying child brought together by chance with a young photographer. A moment captured in the chaos of war that would be both her savior and her curse on a journey to understand life's plan for her.
...
After four decades, Phuc, now a mother of two sons, can finally look at the picture of herself running naked and understand why it remains so powerful. It had saved her, tested her and ultimately freed her."

"Ron Paul's Restore America Plan is a 12-page budget that cuts $1 trillion in spending the first year and balances the budget by the 3rd year. Paul proposes eliminating 5 federal executive agencies that include the following departments: Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development and the Interior. The video below explains why it would be a tremendous benefit to get rid of the Department of Interior."

Revealed: Hundreds of words to avoid using online

In case you didn't know that Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is spying on you, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request forced DHS to reveal words that they look for in your communications. Like Big Brother in the book 1984 (or Janet the Big Sister).

17-Year-Old Girl Included On Obama’s Secret ‘Kill List’

How sweet for Obama. He now has the power of judge, jury, and executioner in deciding who to assassinate without a trial. Just getting rid of some terrorists. Now don't you feel safer? America is the land of the criminal dictator.

'President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional secret ‘kill list’ includes a 17-year-old girl along with several American citizens, according to a New York Times report.
...
The White House has asserted the right to carry out state-sponsored assassination anywhere in the world without having to provide any evidence or go through any legal process. The administration merely has to state that the target is a terrorist and it doesn’t matter whether they are an American citizen or not, as we saw in the case of American-born Anwar al-Awlaki and his son, who were both killed last year.
...
Given that spy drones used to hunt down insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq are now not only being deployed domestically but also armed with non-lethal weapons, how long before such technology is used to assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil based on the mere claim that the target is a terrorist?"

"Here is the official list of this year's Bilderberg attendees. If you want to know who is really running the world, here is a short list. [Remember, however, that some of these people may be proxies for others who are not at the meeting. Nevertheless, this is a pretty good starting list.]"

Security tighter than ever at Bilderberg conference

Not much info is available, but I found comments about the Logan Act following the story to be interesting.

Here are some readers' comments: 'SickOfTheStupid

..if our politicians and diplomats or their aids are discussing US policy with foreign leaders in secret they have committed a crime .

time to drag these fascist into the streets too face the music of their crimes and atrocity's .

Debbie

They are in clear violation of the Logan Act and each and every one of them should be arrested!

itookredpill

Hillary Clinton was fined but never went to prison for her violation of the Logan act. To some of these "power brokers", $300,000 is nothing but the cost of doing business.'

More Obama treason!

How much more will we put up with before Obama is brought to justice?

"So it came as no surprise when I opened my copy of the New York Times last Friday to find yet a new front-page article leaking previously classified information about our intelligence communities’ efforts to slow down Iran’s march to nuclear weaponry."

"TALLAHASSEE, Fla – Federal authorities are demanding that Florida halt its push to remove ineligible voters from the voter rolls.

In a move that comes just months before the state could play a pivotal role in the 2012 presidential election, the U.S. Department of Justice contends that the state is violating federal law in its effort to identify and remove ineligible voters.

The state's effort has already come under fire from local election supervisors who belong to both political parties, as well as Democratic members of Congress and voting rights groups."
