* They were fortunate that Ho Chi Minh died in 1969*

I took some small pleasure knowing he didn’t live to see Saigon fall, and the American tactical withdraw.

Obviously you have never been to Vietnam!

Correct...and by the looks of it, I wouldn't want to go. I'm not eager to jump onto the NWO train.

The Agenda 2030, digital ID law/biometric mandate stuff is there for everyone, even travelers.

September 15, 2025

Starting December 1, Vietnam airports will require biometric check-in and digital IDs via VNeID app or kiosks for faster, secure, and seamless travel.

Vietnam is preparing for one of the biggest changes to its air travel system. Starting December 1, 2025, most passengers will no longer go through traditional airport counters. Instead, they will be required to use biometric check-in and digital IDs through the VNeID app or self-service kiosks.

Banking purge: Vietnam FREEZES 86 million accounts for noncompliance with new biometric requirements


The U.S. is ramping up too. Illegal immigration seems like a perfect opportunity to roll out biometric collection without consent.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents are deploying a mobile app called ‘Mobile Fortify’ to conduct real-time facial recognition scans on individuals in the field. Videos circulating on social media show officers stopping people, including minors, and scanning their faces to verify identity and citizenship status when physical ID is not present. Leaked agency emails reveal the app can use a phone’s camera for biometric verification against government databases, with a match being considered a ‘definitive’ status determination. This practice represents a significant escalation of warrantless surveillance, allowing federal agents to perform on-the-spot biometric searches without prior suspicion. Civil liberties groups have heavily criticized the program, highlighting that Congress has never explicitly authorized this type of mobile, suspicionless identity check, which carries substantial risks for privacy, due process, and wrongful arrests.

Looks like everybody is out to lunch on this one, meaning the political class...BOTH parties.

Over 2 million people died there after we left Vietnam because the democrats supported the communists.
