Old Saigon The Way It Was In 1955

I thought everyone might enjoy seeing Saigon the way it looked in 1955. This collection of films was taken in November 1955.

Those of us Saigon Kids who were in Saigon prior to 1961, this is pretty much the way Saigon was when we were there. The rapid changes, in Saigon, seemed to have come after 1961 for the most part.

When I arrived in Saigon in April 1959 it still looked about the same as in this film and remained that way until my departure in early 1961. Saigon was really very mellow back then compared to the hustle and bustle that came with the war build-up starting in late 1961 to early 1962.

Was Bobby that Dumb or a Willing Martyr?

At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City when Bobby Kennedy was introduced to the crowd he received a 26 minute standing ovation. Later he is reported to have said, “they weren’t cheering me, they were cheering him”. (meaning deceased brother JFK).

Review of Part 3:

Those Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Stones.

Today with the help of the RICCO act the influence of organized crime has been greatly diminished over what it was in 1960 when JFK took office. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the influence of big business (particularly the military-industrial-congressional complex) mob.

Kinh Do Theater Saigon - Now Playing: Evidence Of Revision - Part 2

Welcome to Saturday At The Movies with Saigon Kids.

Tonight we continue with the film “Evidence Of Revision” (Part 2) – *The Why of It*.

If you have not seen Part 1 – you can view it here “Evidence Of Revision – Part 1″

While viewing Part 2 of this film you will literally SEE history being “rewritten” as you watch more *official myths* shown for the lies they are.

Today in 2010 it is a difficult mental stretch (even for us Saigon Kids who were alive and politically conscious back then) to realize that nearly 50 years ago most average Americans sincerely believed their government told them the truth – especially concerning things as serious as the assassination of a president or going to war.
