During the Vietnam War, fighting alongside U.S. servicemen against
the Viet Cong was a unique army. Trained by the CIA and U.S. Army
Special Forces mentors, the Hmong hill tribesmen of Laos and Vietnam
served with legendary bravery and tenacity in the war effort. In return
for their military service on America’s behalf, the Hmong were promised
a homeland of their own, repatriation to the U.S. if they wished, and
other preferential treatment as veterans.
Today, the Hmong have been betrayed by the U.S. government, and are
being forced — by U.N. soldiers at gunpoint — to return from Thai
refugee camps to their native Laos before Dec. 31, to almost certain
extermination. The ruling Stalinist government in Laos considers the
Hmong “less than human.”
Until now, no reporter from any other news organization has been
willing or able to document this story. In preparing tomorrow’s
worldwide exclusive report, WorldNetDaily’s roving international
correspondent Anthony C. LoBaido has traveled throughout Thailand and
Laos, at considerable personal risk, documenting the plight of Laos’
Hmong tribesmen.

LoBaido has been able to piece together this remarkable report by
traveling undercover in a hostile country. He discovered that the
persecution of the Hmong is accelerating, not only because of their
former role as allies of America, but also because of their massive turn
toward Christianity.
Starting tomorrow, and continuing Thursday and Friday, WorldNetDaily
will carry this exclusive three-part report, named for the Hollywood
film that depicted the Hmong’s supporting role in the Vietnam War —
Apocalypse Now.
Anthony LoBaido will be the guest of radio talk show host Chuck
Harder on “For the People” today at 3:00
p.m. Eastern time. WorldNetDaily editor and founder Joseph Farah will
also be a guest, starting at 4:00 p.m. Eastern.
