[The various Viet Cong guerrilla] units wore no insignia. They were ideological guerrillas, insurgents, terrorists.

That's right. They were everywhere TV, newspapers, magazines . . . .

". . . the [American] media played a major role in the final downfall of South Vietnam . . . North Vietnam General Vo Nguyen Giap . . . in a French TV broadcast [said that the] 'most important guerrilla during the Vietnam War was the American press.'"

Here I remember those days and I remember Walter "North Viet Nam Communists' Most Trusted Man in America" Cronkite.

By the time Cronkite no longer concealed his desire for a U.S. defeat the "anti-war", pro-Ho crowd had made zombies of the MSM employees. 1968.

From the Sinsinawa Dominican nuns:

Finding New Connectors to God We will explore the four types of claires --- clairvoyance (pictures), clairaudience (hearing), clair sentence (feelings), and claircognizance (knowing) --- trying to discover one that resonates with you to help you better connect with the Divine power and bring awareness to where you are spiritually. The retreat will combine the Hatha physical practice and meditation practice of Yoga with discussions about the four types of claires, and time for personal reflection. This is a semi-silent retreat; silence will be observed at all times except during our group sessions. - https://www.sinsinawa.org/MoundCenter/RetreatDetail.cfm?num=511

A Circle of Drums This workshop is a high-energy, hands-on presentation emphasizing collaborative, creative individual expression while also exhibiting the benefits of synergetic group dynamics. Bill uses an ensemble of beautiful drums and percussion instruments from around the world to facilitate a meaningful team-building experience that celebrates the expansive nature of human potential and the ecstatic response to group rhythm-making. It is our hope that everyone who participates in the experience will enjoy a powerful body/mind/spirit encounter that will last a lifetime! - https://www.sinsinawa.org/MoundCenter/RetreatDetail.cfm?num=536
