This is an interview with John H. Holdridge, being conducted for the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. 4 Could you tell me where and when you were born and a little about your family* HO8DRIDGE: Too many years ago, 1.24, in Brooklyn, New York. My father was an Army officer and at that time, stationed at Governor7s Island. The Prospect Park area is where my family tells me that they lived at the time. It was within an easy commute, I presume, by subway or ferry to Governor7s Island, which was the headHuarters, I believe, of what they called The First 1orps area in those days. $: Did your father come from a military family too* HO8DRIDGE: No, my father was what you might call one of those who sort of pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. He was originally from Pontiac, Michigan where his father, I suppose, had something to do with the automobile industry but also tried farming for a while in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. And my father was not, shall we say, too well financially endowed. But he worked his way through high school and then he ran into someone who took a liking to him, thought the young man had possibilities, and got an appointment for him to West Point. So he managed to survive that ordeal. He graduated in the class of April 1.17. That curtailed only three months or two months from the original full four year course that was shortened because of the entry of the United States into World War I. So, he went from there, he chose the cavalry and was stationed in Fort Bliss along the MeCican border. Really nothing very much happened down there. $: The Pancho ,illa thing was all over by then* HO8DRIDGE: That was all over and done with. By then, he had married my mother, a Brooklyn girl, and they set up housekeeping at Fort Bliss, TeCas. But I didn7t arrive on the scene for a while. After being in Fort Bliss for a period, he was then sent to the army of occupation in Germany and was stationed in )oblenD and in Paris. And my mother had some wonderful memories of life in those days. The poor Germans, of course, were starving to death because of the reparations put on them by the French, but the occupation troops lived in a little, insulated world that was very pleasant indeed. It was like the occupation of 6apan after World War II or Germany after World War II. And then my father was ordered back to the United States, temporary duty at Governor7s Island, when I came along. Then he became an assistant professor of history at West Point. So my first four years, really, were spent at West Point, from 1.24 to about 1.2.. $: -et.s sort of continue on. From after you left in .29, where to* HO8DRIDGE: Fort Riley, )ansas. And from Fort Riley to duty in 1hicago with, I forget what particular corps headHuarters was located there, just down by the 1hicago stockyards. And my father was one of those who was involved in the training of reserves and National Guard units. Among other things, of course, there were also some regular army posts there, Fort Sheridan was not too distant from 1hicago. The area really 5 encompassed Huite a broad section of the north central part of the United States. So we were there, let me see now, until 1.32. And then he was transferred to Fort Bliss, TeCas. $: Bac1 again* HO8DRIDGE: Back in that area, although by this time he had transferred from the cavalry to the Adjutant Generals Department. He became Post Adjutant at Fort Bliss, TeCas and also Adjutant of the First 1avalry Division, which in those days was still riding horses, believe it or not. The 02nd Field Artillery, the 7th 1avalry, the 0th 1avalry were also stationed at Fort Bliss. I think there were a number of small cavalry posts, I can7t recall precisely what regiments were involved, stationed along the American,MeCican border. This goes back to the days of Pancho Ailla again, at Fort DA Russell and Fort Brown and so on. And in addition to his other duties as Post Adjutant, he was also responsible for overseeing the 111 in that part of the world. $: The Civilian Conservation Corps. HO8DRIDGE: That is correct. So we had a very lovely time at Fort Bliss. For a while, we lived off the post and then on the post in a house, a beautiful old, Aictorian, Gothic,style, right neCt to the commanding general7s Huarters. But all things have to come to an end and in 1.34, he was ordered to the Philippines. Fort Stotsenberg, it was called in those days. It became better known later as 1lark Field. And there we had a regiment of Philippine Scouts cavalry, the 29th 1avalry, a regiment of Philippine Scouts artillery, the 24th Field Artillery, and uniHue in the US Army, Battery A, 23rd Field Artillery, which was a mountain gun battery. Since the US Army didn7t have any mountain guns already made in US arsenals, they were using captured World War I artillery from the Austrians. But anyway, we had a wonderful time in the Philippines, very eCciting and in a sense, rewarding to my father not only professionally but financially because he was paid in dollars. A dollar, in those days, was worth two pesos, and a peso in the Philippines could buy as much as a dollar could buy. We were able to save enough funds so that at the conclusion of the tour in 1.37 my father was able to make arrangements to get us up to 1hina. We took a Dutch boat from Manila, sailed to Hong )ong, spent some time there in which we got to 1anton, went up the coast, a brief stop in Amoy, then a few days in Shanghai, then over to )obe, 6apan, then to Tokyo, and then went to )yoto and then from there, back by the way of Osaka to Tungku, we use to call it, what is now the new port of 1hina where the river that runs through Tianjin comes out into the Yellow Sea.

  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • Air America in Laos III – in Combat by Dr
    Air America in Laos III – in combat by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 29 May 2006, last updated on 23 March 2018. When, in May 1987, during the unveiling of the Air America Memorial at UTD’s McDermott Library at Richardson, former CIA director William Colby said that Air America aircraft were not combat aircraft, but transport aircraft, that was only true for most of Air America’s flights. But in at least three programs Air America crews flew or were to fly combat aircraft in Laos: B-26s in Projects Mill Pond and Black Watch in 1961 and T-28s as A-Team pilots for the Tango program. Already in July 1955, 2 C-47s chartered from CAT had participated in the first post-ceasefire combat jump flown by C-47s of the ANL (Armée Nationale Laotienne or Lao National Army), when the aircraft dropped the ANL’s airborne battalion, the Seno-based 1er Bataillon de Parachutistes, over the garrison of Moung Peun beleaguered by Pathet Lao forces.1 In August 59, PEO again contracted an Air America C-46 and C-47 for use in the Moung Peun paratroop drop.2 Then there was another absolutely unofficial use of Air America transport aircraft as bombers dropping “Hot soup”. Finally, many Air America aircraft flew combat support missions that brought them very close to the actual fighting: This was true for many missions flown by Air America’s helicopters, that is by the UH-34Ds assigned to the Madriver-contract and later especially for the Bells and S- 58Ts assigned to the AID-439-713 contract.
