Erie prediction made in 1956









The following is a passage from Deliver us from Evil written by Dr. Tom Dooley and published in 1956 following his involvement in Operation Passage to Freedom wherein hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees were transported from North Vietnam to South Vietnam to escape the horrors of communist rule.

“Just before the debarkation of the refugees was completed,
Bishop Pietro Martino Ngo-dinh-Thuc, Vicar Apostolic
of Vinh-Long, who was in Saigon, paid a visit to our
ship. He is the brother of the defiant Prime Minister, Ngo
Dinh Diem, a man who never bowed to the French and who
stated emphatically that the Geneva partitioning of Indo-
China would lead to a new and more murderous war.”

Anyone who thinks U.S. was wrong fighting communism in Vietnam should read Dr. Dooley’s book.
