TRUTH ABOUT MIAs AND POWs

 

Most Americans probably know that during our American Revolutionary War, and in countless wars since, millions of our brave young men and women served, sacrificed, and spilled their life's blood here at home and on battlefields the world over so that today we Americans might enjoy our precious God-given freedoms--freedoms desired by human beings all over the world.  Our Founding Fathers paid dearly in establishing this great nation of ours, and over these past 231 years as "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" thousands upon thousands--millions upon millions--of patriotic selfless individuals have served, sacrificed, and even laid down their lives to protect and to preserve our precious incomparable American way of life.

 

Why, there are even a couple of days during the year on which most Americans spare a few minutes of their busy lives to demonstrate their gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices of those veterans who gave so much to keep our BELOVED AMERICA free.  Sadly though, due to the ignorance of our present day liberal "socialist-indoctrinated" educators and their bent on rewriting the history of our Founding Fathers and replacing it with socialist-communist garbage, way too many lukewarm citizens don’t understand and don’t really care about the real and true story of how and why this GREAT GOD-BLESSED NATION was founded.  Have you noticed how few people stand, salute, and show proper respect as our GRAND OLD FLAG passes by during one of those parades???

 

It is fit and proper to express honor, gratitude, and appreciation to all those who have paid with their lives to protect and preserve our freedoms; too, we owe no less to all those who served, sacrificed, and gave so much to keep us free.

 

In wars past, thousand and thousands of our fellow countrymen were captured and fell into the hands of our sadistic godless enemies.  Unfortunately, many thousands of these patriotic but hapless prisoners-of-war were held back and not returned at the end of hostilities.  Sadly, the vast majority of our fellow “free” Americans are unaware of this shocking—but, oh so true—fact; even more disturbing is that too many Americans just don’t want to be informed about our betrayed, abandoned, and "still missing" fellow countrymen, and way too many Americans just don't really care about the miserable plight of these "still missing" defenders of our liberties.  MIAs and POWs are vets, too!!!  Well, aren't they???

 

Learn more about what happened to the thousands of fellow American countrymen who were captured, imprisoned, interrogated, tortured, maltreated, and held over by their inhumane captors even after treaties and cease-fires had been signed.  In The Flag--My Story: Kidnapped by Red China, Steve E. Kiba, a former MIA/POW of the Red Chinese, tells about having seen fellow American MIAs and POWs in Red Chinese prisons who were not repatriated.  Most of his sightings were made long after the Korean War cease-fire had been signed on July 27, 1953.  Upon their deportation (release) by the Red Chinese more than two years after the Korean War cease-fire, the members of the Stardust Four Zero crew reported their sightings to officials of the U. S. Government, the CIA, and the USAF.  The crew members were stunned and dumbfounded at being ordered by these frigid-hearted representatives of their beloved America to forget those poor unfortunate souls whom they had seen and who were not released with them.  Too, the crew members were strongly admonished NEVER to write or talk about having seen fellow American prisoners whom the godless communists were holding back and continuing to imprison and torment.  My mind just couldn't comprehend nor accept the stark cold fact that our own U. S. Government was betraying, leaving behind, and abandoning fellow Americans who unfortunately fell into enemy hands.  The Flag contains the chilling message that ALL Americans, especially our youth, need to hear and know: that NOT ALL MIAs and POWs were released by our enemies and NOT ALL were brought home by our government!!!  Knowing that fellow American prisoners were callously and intentionally betrayed, abandoned, and left behind to continue to suffer and endure what our crew had endured and suffered has caused me much anguish and countless nightmares and sleepless nights!!!

 

Did you know that the U. S. Government's MIA/POW Policy was (and apparently still is) to betray, leave behind, abandon, deny, and forget (hoping to hell that their families and loved ones, former MIAs and POWs, veterans, and everyone else will also forget) the courageous men and women whom it sent off (and still sends off) to fight its battles against our country's vile, godless enemies???  [I rather doubt if too many of you out there knew this cold disgusting fact!!!]  It seems that placating and doing business with such vicious, sadistic disciples of the devil take precedence over securing the long overdue freedom of our "still missing and unaccounted for" prisoners-of-war.  It seems that the U. S. Government officials consider anyone who falls into enemy hands as being EXPENDABLE; their view is that it is neither worth the time, nor the effort, nor the expense to learn their horrible fate and to secure their release!!!  After all, in the greater scheme of   U. S. Government Foreign Policy, what are a few thousand MIAs and POWs worth???  What a spineless, dishonorable MIA/POW Policy!!!  What a blight on the character, credibility, integrity, and morality of both our appointed and elected government officials!!!  These "self-proclaimed" elitists, holier-than-thou officials knew (still do know) that fellow LIVE MIAs and POWs were, and still are, in the hands of a most barbaric and sadistic enemy; yet, these cowardly, calloused, insensitive, money-sucking leeches in RED D. C. betrayed our voiceless, helpless, and unarmed fellow American warriors and combatants, leaving them behind to fend for themselves against heavily armed, sadistic, and ultra cruel guards and jailers.  Then these gutless parasites on Capitol Hill had the gall (most still do) to deny the existence of any LIVE MIAs and POWs who might be in the grasp of our enemies.  What they did to our brave but unfortunate warriors by betraying them was deplorable and disgusting enough, but these spineless, contemptible knaves further sullied their already questionable characters by looking the Family Members and Loved Ones of the "still missing and unaccounted for" in the eye and demanding that they secure and provide them (the shameless and despicable rogues on Capitol Hill) with concrete evidence proving that their loved ones were "still alive."  What shameless audacity!!!  What a crock!!!  But, considering the dimwits whom we send to represent us on Capitol Hill, I guess we shouldn't be too surprised at anything they do or say!!!  Are they too afraid to demand that our enemies show proof that ALL MIAs and POWs are dead???

 

How could this happen in our beloved America???  It did indeed happen!!!  As a matter of fact, U. S. Government MIA/POW Policy has not changed. In my humble opinion, our U. S. Government officials seem to be more satisfied and ecstatic by recovering and by being given tiny fragments of military uniforms and even tinier fragments of bone and tooth chips by their "oh so cooperative communists comrades" than they are in finding LIVE prisoners-of-war.  Our incompetent and calloused officials prefer to give more credence to the questionable veracity of their new-found comrades (friends) than to the honesty of our repatriated prisoners-of-war regarding the fact that these godless, sadistic, lying miscreants did indeed hold back thousands of our unfortunate captured warriors and combatants. As good patriotic citizens, we hesitate and find it difficult to believe that there are fellow American countrymen who could be so cruel, insensitive, and cold-blooded, but I personally have come to the unthinkable conclusion that many, many in every branch of our government really and truly don't want to find any "still living" prisoners-of-war and MIAs whom they might have to bring back home!!!  What could possibly be their sinister motive for such a dastardly and dishonorably anti-American act???  My guess would be for money!!!

 

 

You influential American countrymen, why don't you join us "peons" in our efforts to learn the truth about our "still missing and unaccounted for" warriors and combatants who, in serving and sacrificing for us all, unfortunate fell into the hands of our vile and cruel enemies???  These betrayed, abandoned, and all-but-forgotten souls pray daily that we, their fellow sensitive and caring countrymen back here in this blessed and beloved land, be their voice and speak out on their behalf.  These forgotten souls are voiceless; and unless we show the great American spirit of compassion, they will all surely suffer and die a slow lingering death in their cruddy, filthy, far-off foreign hellhole.  After all they've gone through for us, we do owe them at least that much!!!  Do we not???

 

Yes, I'm addressing all of you out there who are enjoying the "fruits of freedom" available here in this great land of ours by dint of our superior military machine and our superior military personnel.   I wonder, doesn't it bother you even a tiny bit that there are still some of these courageous and selfless defenders of your freedoms and your easy life who are still enduring a miserable Hell-on-Earth on your behalf???  Oh yes, you do constantly boast (especially you radio and television people, you journalists, you politicians, you celebrities and entertainers, and you other influential folks) regarding your unwavering support of our military personnel who are or might be in harm's way!!!  That's great!!!  But y'all, especially you non-military types, must realize that our MIAs and POWs are also warriors and that they continue to endure a never-ending existence of agony, pain, torture, and misery so that y'all, and even I, might continue to thrive and to enjoy this good life which we are blessed with here at home.   But, y'all better know and believe that our MIAs and POWs damn sure don't share our enjoyment of that good life!!!

 

Don't any of y'all even give a damn that these unfortunate souls were betrayed, abandoned, left over there in their cruddy, filthy cages and cells to fend for themselves with insurmountable odds against their heavily-armed, ultra-sadistic guards and jailers, and are now all-but-forgotten by most of their fellow Americans???

 

Hell no you don't; because if you did, you just might feel some shame and remorse and perhaps want to do something more than pay lip service regarding your public pronouncement of just how much you support our military personnel!!!

   

You former MIAs and POWs and you POW/MIA Families and Loved Ones out there know what I am talking about, and you know the frustration that we have endured over the past 53 years attempting to inform the public about our "STILL MISSING" countrymen, so feel free to pass the above on to anyone who needs to know how we feel about their neglect, denial,  and even cover-up of the "STILL MISSING" MIAs and POWs.

 

We must NEVER abandon our efforts: to expose the truth of their betrayal, abandonment, neglect, and denial; to BRING HOME any and ALL abandoned ones who are STILL ALIVE; to expose the dishonorable, cowardly handling and cover-up of this issue by our inept and insensitive government officials (that includes senators and congressmen, too).

 

What they (our government) did to our brave, selfless American combatants, in my humble opinion, is just as horrible as what the sadistic enemy did and is still doing to our fellow "betrayed, abandoned, neglected, denied, and forgotten" countrymen.  You expect torture and maltreatment from your enemies; but, how can you prepare yourself to be betrayed, abandoned, denied, neglected, and ultimately forgotten by your own government, your own nation, and your own people???  You are absolutely right; there is no way you can, and your mind cannot even conceive that such a dishonorably horrific injustice could possibly be thrust upon any American combatant by his own government!!!

 

God Bless, Heal, Protect, And Save This Great Nation Of Ours!!!

 

NO!!!  NO!!! NO!!!  NOT ALL MIAs AND POWs  WERE BROUGHT HOME!!!
