Today we found a very funny and ridiculous article of description about VNCH at a German communist website. It's the leading propaganda website in German language which is supported by criminals elements of the Viet Gian Republic.
Of course it is the old boring propaganda which can be found on every website which was made by communist monkeys (it's a propaganda network).
One line at this idiotic blog is interesting, it says that the people who believe in VNCH and fight against CSVN can only yell and they are in minority.
No, you communists idiots. We are going on public and don't spam the internet.
Because we aren't cowards like you communist bastards.
Movements like in Can Tho and also new movements in the underground even in Hanoi will push the trash out one day. If we would be only a minority why you waste your time to write propaganda? Commie bitch or should I say old commie man who tries to influnce people? How much do the people pay to you?
Instead to write your oldschool shit, why you never protest against China?
Because you are Vietnamese traitors.
We only can laugh day by day when you and your communist friends try to invent new funny stories to influence people but it won't help. Look to the arabic world - one day your world of lies will collapse.
Don't worry: Cộng Sản Phải Chết

Tensions rise as Vietnam accuses China of sabotage
A video has been released apparently showing Chinese patrol boats cutting through a Vietnamese ship's oil exploration cable, as a growing territorial dispute engulfs the two countries.
Vietnam's foreign ministry held a rare news conference at the weekend, criticising Beijing over last Thursday's confrontation in the South China Sea, and accusing China of ratcheting up regional tensions.
Officials said three Chinese boats deliberately severed the survey ship's cable in Vietnamese waters by sailing through the area. They stressed that its navy ''will do everything necessary'' to protect Vietnam's sovereignty.

Land Activists Face Prison in Vietnam
Late on a Tuesday evening, sitting four floors up in a Ho Chi Minh City cafe overlooking the city’s landmark opera house, a worried man who used the pseudonym Long had the look of someone who thought he was being watched.
"I drove around the city for 45 minutes before heading here," he said, hunched over and leaning forward on his seat in a restaurant that was almost empty. Looking around edgily, he said softly, "I wanted to make sure I wasn’t being followed."
At the heart of Long’s problems, and that of his fellow members of a Mennonite Church offshoot, is what they deem to be unfair land seizures that are then turned over to major companies for development by the Vietnamese government. The state maintains sole ownership of land and confiscation in the name of economic development is a continuing irritation. Landowners frequently complain about unfair compensation and criticize the laws on land use, which they say are often abused by corrupt local officials.

Vietnam: Self - immolation of Phạm Thành Sơn
A Vietnamese engineer named Pham Thanh Son apparently set himself afire to protest the confiscation of his family’s property by local authorities.
According to the blog Danlambao (which means citizen journalists), Son's self-immolation occurred on February 17 at 12:30pm outside the municipal offices of Vietnam’s fifth largest city. Son visited the People’s Committee of Da Nang earlier in the day to petition his case. When authorities refused to hear his appeal, the young engineer set fire to himself and his motorcycle on the sidewalk outside.
Another eyewitness captured the scene on video:
Police initially indicated that Son’s death was a routine traffic accident. Authorities also described Son as a person with “mental problems.”
Meanwhile, authorities reportedly posted plainclothes police outside Son’s family residence and limited the family’s ability to receive visitors.
Danlambao reports:
Da Nang, located along Vietnam’s central coast, is in the midst of a major construction boom. Initiated in 2009, Cau Rong is a 667-meter long bridge currently being built over the Han river. Municipal authorities claimed to have adequately compensated and resettled local residents.
In recent years, many farmers and urban residents in Da Nang and throughout Vietnam have complained about land seizures and organized small protest movements.

The underlying cause for this sad incident was the corruption surrounding the Cau Rong (Dragon Bridge) project. It is known that the family of Pham Thanh Son repeatedly petitioned for adequate compensation for their property. Their appeals went nowhere as authorities went ahead with the project.
