phoenix program

Phoenix program
The phoenix program was a misunderstood program undertaken by the governments of the United States and South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was quite simple, a set of programs that sought to attack and destroy the Viet Cong.  (A Vietnamese belonging to or supporting the National Liberation Front of the nation formerly named South Vietnam. (Vietcong)) The phoenix program main purpose was to neutralize through acazination, kidnapping, and torture the people that supported the viet cong, but this was only a reason why they use the Phoenix Program during the Vietnam War.


Phoenix was misunderstood because it was classified, and the information obtained by the press and others was often anecdotal, unsubstantiated, or false.  The Phoenix  program was misunderstood because the many civilians were killed since they were mistaken with the viet congs. (During the Vietnam War, the viet congs (charlie) would not show themselves to fight, making it hard for the US army to fight) The Phoenix Program went to the villages of North Vietnam and killed many innocent people because they were mistaken with the viet congs since they were not able to who was there enemie.  For example over 6,000 South Vietnamese people were killed (over 1,200 in selective assassinations) and 15,000 wounded. Among the dead were some 90 village chiefs, and 240 hamlet chiefs and officials this deaths were only during the year 1969. Vietnam. Phoenix Program took over 20,000 lives during the Vietnam War, the numbers of  deaths during the Phoenix program is still unknown.

The phoenix program was created by the CIA in insignia in 1967.  The secret network of the Vietnam People's Army which the U.S. intelligence services called the Viet Cong infrastructure (VCI). This network provided the political direction and control of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam's (NLF) war in the south. The phoenix program was supported by the CIA(Central Intelligence Agency) and  by the conceived by the white house.  The Phoenix Program was an intelligence operation designed to gather and analyze information on both the operational structure and members of the Viet Cong Infrastructure (VCI), the Communists' secret administrative and political apparatus in South Vietnam.

The phoenix program was created improve intelligence coordination and operations aimed at identifying and dismantling the communist underground during the Vietnam War. At first the phoenix program was comprehensive system of rump legality, kidnapping, torture, and assassination ever designed and run by the United States. The phoenix  program purpose was to kill and terrorise the viet cong so  they would surrender. They used  the  terrifying final solution to stop the viet cong, it violated the insignia conditions. It’s purpose was to kill the people that helped the viet cong, the soldiers. the captains, and the troops that helped.  Faulty intelligence usually lead to the murder of innocent civilians. 
There is very little know about the Phoenix Program  and its contents. The information they give us lets us know that the Phoenix Program is very valuable. They only let us know the basic of the phoenix program. They give us the reason why it was created and it’s purpose. We now know that they neutralized many people but they also mistakened many civilians  with the vietcongs causes a huge arguement and controversial thoughts and ideas.

Centaurs and Centauresses (detail), by Eugène Fromentin (1820-1876), French painter

The KENTAUROI (or Centaurs) were a tribe of half man, half horse savages which inhabited the mountains and forests of Magnesia. They are usually portrayed with the torso and
head of a human and the body of a horse. 






They were a primitive
 race who made their 
homes in mountain 
caves, hunted wild 
animals for food and 
armed themselves 
with rocks and tree branches.

Centaurs are the 

followers of the 

wine god Dionysus 

and are well 

known for 

drunkenness and

carrying off 

helpless young 

maidens.The centaur 

were uncouth and even the smallest amount of wine could make them very wild 

and they loved to drink more than anything else.

They inhabited

 MountPelion in 

Thessaly northern 

Greece. They were 

descendants from 

Centaurus and they

were usually governed 

according to the 

bestial side of their 

double nature.

phoenix

Phoenix

Very little is know about the phoenix and it's origion.
The Phoenix is a mythological bird of great beauty and unique bird that lived for 500 years and was commonly associated with fire. 
 The phoenix is most recognize not only as being a symbol of dying and rising sun but also it represents the creature of fire for many people. The phoenix's feathers are composed entirely of fire. The phoenix did not have much colors, it could have had brightly colors such as red and purple but the phoenix did have fiery colors, and crimson colors. Since the phoenix had feathers composed entirely of fire it had the ability to control the amount of heat it's own fiery body gives off.  It can also propel huge steams of fire by bringing the large wings together.



The phoenix had a interesting diet it feed off fire, frankincense, aromatic oils and other herbs. It's also said it feed of smaller birds such as griffon or dragons.



phoenix fire blaze heat picture and wallpaperThe Phoenix came from hot regions of the world, such as Egypt and Arabia. The phoenix did not have a stable home. It was happy when it's wings are spread and it is diving and souring in the clouds. The phoenix is comfortable only in the sky it occasionally landed to take a break or to view the area at ground level.  When November can it used November winds to help it fly so high. The phoenix never slept, at dawn it would bathe in a cool of water and sing such a beautiful song the gods would hear it.



It gives birth to itself. Nearing the end of its time fame, the phoenix feels the weight of it's time and knows that its end is near. So it builds itself  a nest of species, herds, leaves, and twigs a top of a date palm and rests inside of it, its wings outstretched. Soon the heat of the sun would ignite the nest, and the phoenix inside would burn to ashes and die. Yet under the stars, life awaken inside of the ashes, and with the morning sun a young Phoenix would fly from the nest, to greet the new day and it's new life by lifting its head and singing. After it would fly high in the air feeling young and with strength. 
Many people think the phoenix lives stills but every five hundred years, when it begins to weak and old, it flies back to its origin (unknown). There it builds a fragrant  nest on top of a palm tree, and there the sun once again burns it into ashes. Each time, the Phoenix rises up from those ashes, fresh and new and young again ready to live another 500 years.
