The Phoenix Program – Part 1 | Douglas Valentine
According to Douglas Valentine, DHS created Fusion Centers in the US based on the Phoenix Program.
Between 1967 and 1973, the United States undertook the most ambitious and fareaching operation of the Vietnam War.
America's Central Intelligence Agency secretly initiated a sweeping program of kidnap, torture, and assassination devised to destabilise the infrastructure of the National Liberation Front (NLF) of South Vietnam, commonly known as the “Viet Cong.” The victims of the Phoenix Program were Vietnamese civilians, male and female, suspected of harboring information about the enemy—though many on the blacklist were targeted by corrupt South Vietnamese security personnel looking to extort money or remove a rival. Between 1965 and 1972, more than eighty thousand noncombatants were “neutralized,” as men and women alike were subjected to extended imprisonment without trial, horrific torture, brutal rape, and in many cases execution, all under the watchful eyes of US government agencies.
Based on extensive research and in-depth interviews with former participants and observers, Douglas Valentine's startling exposé blows the lid off of what was possibly the bloodiest and most inhumane covert operation in the CIA's history.
