Description

Reproduction: of Oz magazine cover early 1960's street justice in Saigon, South Vietnam. In November of 1963 the Catholic dictator Ngo Dinh Diem was shot and killed by his generals with the consent of the United States government who at that time had 16000 military personel in south Vietnam with 200 having been killed. This cover photo shows a south Vietnamese officer administering street justice to a supposed north Vietnamese infiltrator, and soon began the deadly warfare and chaos of Vietnam with the resultant death of millions of Vietnamese, and thousands of United States service men who as good citizens were obliged to follow the orders of politicians, and their ideological propaganda. Look at Vietnam today and see what human folly was delivered to a small Asian country who's only crime was to deliver a political mindset for the good of all, after years of colonial treatment. Any sale of this reprodution shall be used to help alleviate poverty in Butuan City, Mindanao, Philipines
