Since the fateful date of April 30, 1975, when the North
Vietnamese communists took over free South Vietnam by force, millions of
Vietnamese from the South tried to escape by boats because they could not
endure the terrors and the dictatorship of the regime. The communist regime in Vietnam was quick to
realize that the situation presented them with a golden opportunity to make
money, since the more people who escaped, and the more deaths which would occur
on the high seas, the more properties would be left behind, to be freely taken
by the Vietnamese government without the attached blames, without the
undesirable reputation of being the robbers and the killers of the people (a
reputation which tainted the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia described in
the story of "The Killing Field").
The Vietnamese communists deserved to be called "teacher" of
the Khmer Rouge. They authorized and
organized the orderly escapes by sea for Vietnamese people at prices from
US$3,000 - 6,000 per person, not counting the properties which these people
left behind, to be divided among the communist government officials.
Since the beginning of the 80’s, millions of Vietnamese
ex-refugees started sending money and gifts back to their homeland to try to
somehow alleviate the economic burden of their loved ones. Meanwhile, the government implemented the
policies of "tightening your belts, minimizing your meals", of forced
relocation to the so-called New Economic Zones (a modern form of fatal slavery
with no government support), and of the cruel Re-education Program (a Russian
"archipelago" model). All
were done with the aim to impoverish the whole nation. The act of the overseas Vietnamese sending
money back to Vietnam gave the government new ideas about how to immorally and
materially gain from this money.
Starting in 1986, the Vietnamese communists imitated the
adopted Russian gladnosk policy from the Soviet Union due to the globally
deteriorating effect in the economy of the Communist bloc in general, and because
the Vietnamese communists had been suffering under Western economic sanctions,
which were applied as a punishment for their invasion of Kampuchea
(Cambodia). Under international
pressure, the Vietnamese government had to withdraw hundreds of thousands of
soldiers who were stationed in that country.
This huge number of Army personnel would, inevitably, cause a dangerous
wave of unemployment, as well as fuel the fascist, militant potential in the
society. To resolve the situation, the
Vietnamese communists ordered the soldiers to stay in Kampuchea, and to blend
in with the people, on the pretext that they were there to replace the human
vacuum created by the killings of Kampucheans, which had been previously
committed by the Khmer Rouge regime.
Since then, millions of Vietnamese had mixed with, and in part,
assimilated the Khmer race! Who could
put together all the sentimental and material values of the Kampucheans which
had been destroyed by the Vietnamese during their ten years of invasion and
occupation of that country? The deaths
on both sides had not been accounted for!!
The Vietnamese government had to streamline and reduce the
number of personnel after 1987 because of the reduction of Russian aid. This labor excess was then shifted to serve
as human labor repayment for the Eastern Europe bloc. Only the "selected classes" - Party members, cadres,
ex-soldiers, and relatives of "recognized national heroes and
heroines" - were allowed to go overseas as laborers. There were about half a million such Vietnamese
in the whole Eastern Europe bloc.
Before the collapse of the Berlin Wall, communist East Germany had about
60,000 Vietnamese laborers. This
situation was, officially and unofficially, a significant source of free aid in
foreign currency for the Vietnamese Communist Party.
The overseas Vietnamese laborers
had to comply with the branch's or party's discipline the same way they had to
comply when they were still in Vietnam.
For instance, a whole company of ex-soldiers, or a production unit in Vietnam
which had been dissolved for some reason, could be sent to work in a East
Germany factory, where all the organizational structures and activities were
closely controlled and monitored by the Party leaders, who posed as group
leaders or official translators. They
were, in fact, intelligence officers, police, and secret service
personnel. After 1989, the year the
Berlin Wall collapsed, these Communist Party members were ordered to "go
underground, but secretly regain control of their cell groups". They then
applied for refugee status for political reasons, or tried to get marriage
certificates for immigration schemes.
Most of their reasons for applying for political refugee status
satisfied the immigration requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany. With the built-in wicked intelligence as
communists, they were able to abuse and to take advantage of the unclear
socio-political situation of Germany after the Wall fell, by trafficking in
cigarettes, tobacco, and many other goods.
Thousands of Vietnamese had suddenly become “Deutsche Mark millionaires“
overnight. This scenario induced and
attracted the Vietnamese at home so much that they would try their best to go
to Germany to reap what they called "rain of gold".
There had been many Communist Party members who had remained
in Germany to control all aspects of activity of the Vietnamese community in
East Germany, and partly in West Germany (where there were political Vietnamese
refugees who had filtered in via Eastern Europe routes). Most of these cadres
had obtained German citizenship. But they had been the key persons who
performed the "services" necessary for the implementation of the
Vietnamese government's policies of frauds, of stealing and cheating, of
trafficking in drugs and cigarettes, of falsifying marriage certificates and
passports, of adopting of "real" or "false" children, of
human trafficking, and of abusing the German social-assistance benefit
programs, of defrauding German medical-subsidy programs, property insurance
policies, and unemployment-benefit programs. All the proceeds from these crimes
had been secretly and methodically transferred from Germany to Vietnam through
legitimate, official means of monetary transfers. (We have sufficient, concrete
evidence and data for more thorough investigations). The more they did these
things, the more they became experienced in the art of crime commission to such
a degree that German law enforcement officers and personnel had not been able
to either prevent or stop it. Each woman who "got pregnant" with a
German, enabling her to stay in Germany, meant that she would have a home to
live in, along with all the normal living conditions and benefits which a
"regular" German citizen would be entitled to.
One "legal" resident would be able to bring in five
more "not-so-legal" people;
and this legal person would be the "base" in sheltering the
other five while they were waiting for the legalization of their status, which
would allow them to reside in the refugee camps or to run some types of
business, which usually evaded taxes. There have been hundreds of provable
cases that we had been aware of; and
with more thorough investigations, many more cases, including falsification of
marriage certificates and fraudulent adoptions involving false or real
participants, could be detected and confirmed for legal proceedings. A mother who had become pregnant, which
would facilitate her staying in Germany would have free housing and monthly
social-assistance benefits of EU300 for social assistance, 350 for herself, 150
for each child, and she could collect a further EU500 for boarding fees for
three to five "illegal boarders" living in her house, as well as
allowances for clothes and shoes.
All the Eastern Europe Vietnamese, by words of mouth, had been
informing each other and had believed that the United Nations had agreed to
subsidize Germany through the Allocation and Resettlement Program for the
illegal aliens and refugees in Germany. By doing that, Germany made significant
progress in the improvement of employment, and had received free additional
foreign funds!
In reality, the Eastern Europe Vietnamese community in Germany
was one among many essential sources of free foreign funds that had been much
needed by the leadership in communist Vietnam in order to maintain their grip
on the country. That was why many Vietnamese women had hurriedly "shared
the bed" with anybody en route to Germany in the hope that they would
become pregnant so that, when they arrived at Germany, they would be ready for
the setting of false adoptions that the communist services had been waiting
for. The longer the reigning communist government existed, and the longer the
Federal Republic of Germany kept quiet, the more that Vietnamese would try to
sneak into Germany. This epidemic had inevitably shown no sign of stopping in
its ever-increasing march.
The Vietnamese communists had meticulously established an
organized, sophisticated system of linking Vietnam to Eastern European
countries by air, by sea, and by land.
That system included many information and supply stations similar to
those on the famous Ho Chi Minh trails in Vietnam, which the communists used in
to penetrate South Vietnam during the wartime period of 1964-1975. That was a
huge web, a sophisticated network created from the experience the Communist had
learned in the art of war. Even the
Laotians and the Chinese relied on, and made good use of this network.
Nowadays, when the Vietnamese Communist wanted to bring in a
professional assassin "to score some hits", i.e. to commit some quick
killings, it would be easily arranged that the killer could sit and enjoy his
drinks in a pub in Poland or Czechoslovakia within 2-3 hours after his
assignments in Berlin; and 2-3 days later, one would find him dancing in a
five-star hotel in Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. It was just as easy to arrange for
kidnapping a person and smuggling him back to Vietnam. Almost all the criminal
cases committed by the Vietnamese in Germany could not be prosecuted for lack
of eyewitnesses, because these witnesses were worried about their relatives'
safety in Vietnam, who might suffer as victims of the revenge.
The communist system devised to control the people had been
thorough and meticulous. They could,
technically, eliminate anybody in Germany who dared to oppose them, for example
by kidnapping and beheading them in secret, or by burying them alive in the
deep forests. After the collapse of the
Berlin Wall, ninety-nine percent of the Vietnamese who overwhelmed Germany with
their applications for refugee status were actually participants of a wave of
"business opportunists" previously organized by the Vietnamese
communists right after 1975. The Vietnamese
communist media had brainwashed the people with propaganda depicting the West
as a paradise for making money. For
example, the Tien Phong (the Pioneers) Magazine, the official media of the
Central Office of the Communist Youth League of Ho Chi Minh City, in volume
9/2001, page 32, ran a big headline: "Shortage of Labor in the West: A
Golden Opportunity for Vietnam" (see attached article).
Accordingly, all the documentation procedures for Vietnamese
going overseas had been under total control of the Vietnamese Communist Party.
They collected application fees from these people (averaging US$6,000 to 9,000
per person), accumulated the proceeds from illegal activities of overseas
Vietnamese, and received subsidizing funds and aid from Germany designed for
the resettlement of people who were participants in the Voluntary Returning to
Vietnam Program, on the pretext that the Vietnamese fulfilled their parts in
the Agreement which they signed with Germany in 1995. The same people, just deported from Germany, would naturally
re-appear in Germany only a few weeks later!!
The number of Vietnamese entering into Germany was higher than the
number going back to Vietnam.
The longer the Vietnamese communists were in power, the longer
the Vietnamese society would still be in an insecure and chaotic state, because
the people had to somehow leave the country, and they ended up living an
illegal lifestyle, and Germany had to continue to endure and suffer the
consequences.
Almost all the Vietnamese in Germany had become blindly
attached to money-earning and fun-devouring fevers. Their lives were ones of those who had been hungry for so long
and now finally had a chance to satisfy that hunger with good foods; lives of
addicted souls who gathered their strength to inhale the last smoke so that it
could empower them to earn a better life.
They did all this without regard to marital upbringings and
responsibilities, without regard to the notions of true homes and families.
They were more than willing to cheaply sell their honors and their humanistic
values - all for the sake of being allowed to stay in Germany. Money means power; it also means that they
would have more means to bring their relatives over to Germany, enabling them
to become more powerful and more tenacious.
There is an appropriate Vietnamese saying (which rhymes): Money is an angel, is a Buddha, is vigor,
and is the fulfillment of sexual desires (tien la tien, la phat, la suc bat, la
am cat).
The money which these people had sent home helped to support
the Communist Party, spoiled their relatives at home, and condoned the dream
of "catching the rain of
gold". Many villages and communes
in Central Vietnam had transported hundreds of residents to Germany. Some families had migrated almost
entirely. When they arrived at Germany,
they used their falsified names and thus terminated their legal parent-children
or husband-wife relationships and bindings.
All this was done for the sake of being permitted to stay in Germany. A girl could try to "get pregnant"
by all means so that she could stay legally.
We have known about cases where a number of men in Germany (who had been
applying for refugee status) who sought out and mingled with the Vietnamese
women to facilitate their "getting pregnant", and to introduce the
"adoption services" to them.
I know of one woman who, having been allowed to stay, married her own
father so he could extend his residence in Germany. (This is a true story.) There was also another case where a man
married his older sister for the same cause.
All this was possible because the Vietnamese communist government had
been willing to issue any kind of marriage certificate, as long as "the
price is right". The ways included
women getting pregnant, men getting marriage certificates, and both getting
political-dissident status. Remaining
in Germany was the name of the game.
For each Vietnamese who could stay in Germany, many more
relatives would come over from Vietnam, strengthening business connections and
enlarging gangs of cronies. If these
illegal human waves are not prevented or stopped, then millions of Vietnamese
families would be tragically broken, because social and individual morality did
not mean much in the communist society; it just served as words of niceties on
the tips of tongues. The best weapon
for the criminals was the money, which they gained from the proceeds of
crimes. In Vietnam, illegal dealings
were no longer restricted to individuals, but rather expanded to corporate and
governmental levels. Anybody with a
clear religious conscience devoted to social morality would feel alone, lonely,
and lost in such a society.
Almost all of the "victims" of the communist regime
had not realized that they had unintentionally become its victims. Because they had been born from the lines of
criminals, and with whatever knowledge they possessed, they acted out of their
inheritance; and this would ultimately would have a perpetual effect on the
generations to come. It was a
"vicious circle". These children - the ones born to and grown from
this group - might have had full German citizenships, but the chances were very
slim for them to grow to maturity in an environment of true love, and with
morality. Even when they had grown up
and had faced many difficulties in life, they still had not realized that they
had been willing victims of a long process which had been carefully and
deliberately planned to promote materialism, and ultimately, to support the
by-products of communism.
Under the rule of the communist government, the Vietnamese had
been, sad to say, normally committing criminal activities without a slightest
feeling of shame, because even their so-called "conscience" had grown
out of the principles of hatred and out of violent struggles "for the sake
of the Proletariats, whose primary duty was to fight and destroy the hated,
wicked ruling class, the 'bourgeoisies'"!
Only when they were at a dead end street, or incarcerated, might the
time might be right for their reception of the saving Good News. In fact, God has saved and changed many
Vietnamese lives, had brought them from the dark to the light exactly as the
Bible says in Romans 5: 20-21:
"Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where
sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin had reigned unto death,
even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus
Christ our Lord."
Therefore, when difficulties, dangers, and incarcerations came
to them, these were actually good opportunities for sinners to receive God's
immense love so that they could find true faith in Him. When the Holy Spirit touched their hearts,
they would feel the urge for repentance, and thus start the sanctification
process. If they did not allow God to change them, then years of incarceration
would do nothing but harden their already hardened hearts, and furthermore
would "refine" their cunning and ruthlessness in lawlessness and
criminality until the day they died in their pity darkness. We have witnessed
so many such sad situations for a long time, both in Vietnam and especially in
this rich, modern, civilized Germany.
The Vietnamese people, who are
born and are grown up in the poor-inhuman regime of communism come to Germany
to realize their “professional criminalities”, now they are given so good
material conditions in prison houses. They consider German prison houses as
their good life conditions to enjoy or to rest instead of being punished. They
really need some help to awake their conscience in the depth of their human
honesty. God always give men the opportunities to convict their own sins; then
they can repent to receive the forgiveness of God to be born again in God ’s
spiritual power.
I believe that God will bless
Germany more when German prison houses give to these Vietnamese criminal makers
the opportunities to know the love of God in order to help them to receive His
forgiveness and His Salvation.
When a prisoner repents of his
sins to receive the forgiveness from God, his life is changed miraculously by
God ‘ s power. He will be thankful towards Germany. Then he will return to
Vietnam as the new Christians. The Vietnamese communists who persecute
Christians in Vietnam will also see the miraculous power of God on these former
criminality makers, so they can change their communist mentality to be thankful
towards Germany, too. This may sound strange and difficult to man, but it is
not strange, neither difficult to God ‘s mighty power. Jesus Christ said “what is impossible
with man is possible with God.” (Luke 18:27).
