It is the first week of August, 1964, and U.S. warships under the command of U.S. Navy
Admiral George Stephen Morrison have allegedly come under attack while patrolling
Vietnam's Tonkin Gulf. This event, subsequently dubbed the 'Tonkin Gulf Incident,' will
result in the immediate passing by the U.S. Congress of the obviously pre-drafted Tonkin
Gulf Resolution, which will, in turn, quickly lead to America's deep immersion into the
bloody Vietnam quagmire. Before it is over, well over fifty thousand American bodies - along
with literally millions of Southeast Asian bodies - will litter the battlefields of Vietnam, Laos
and Cambodia.
For the record, the Tonkin Gulf Incident appears to differ somewhat from other alleged
provocations that have driven this country to war. This was not, as we have seen so many
times before, a 'false flag' operation (which is to say, an operation that involves Uncle Sam
attacking himself and then pointing an accusatory finger at someone else). It was also not, as
we have also seen on more than one occasion, an attack that was quite deliberately provoked.
No, what the Tonkin Gulf incident actually was, as it turns out, is an 'attack' that never took
place at all. The entire incident, as has been all but officially acknowledged, was spun from
whole cloth. (It is quite possible, however, that the intent was to provoke a defensive
response, which could then be cast as an unprovoked attack on U.S ships. The ships in
question were on an intelligence mission and were operating in a decidedly provocative
manner. It is quite possible that when Vietnamese forces failed to respond as anticipated,
Uncle Sam decided to just pretend as though they had.)
