It is very interesting to note that Jasper could almost be imagined to be speaking directly to you on virtually every point! I can see why you’ve taken such offence!

Huh? Jasper a single writer associated with the JBS? No, he's got some serious clout there:
Mr. William F. Jasper joined the staff of The John Birch Society in 1976 as a researcher and soon became a contributing editor to the Society's magazines, American Opinion and The Review of the News. When those publications merged in 1985 to become THE NEW AMERICAN, Mr. Jasper continued to serve as a writer and contributing editor until 1990, when he was promoted to the position of Senior Editor.
Over the past three decades, William Jasper has researched and written extensively on foreign and domestic politics, national security, education, immigration, constitutional issues, the culture war, and most notably, the United Nations. His renown as an investigative journalist and insightful analyst on a wide array of topics has made William Jasper a frequent and highly sought guest on many radio and television programs.
This from the second link above.
My paraphrase was not too far off in spirit. Jasper is a lunatic extremist. He makes it clear that he believes that France was the rightful ruler of Vietnam around the end of WW2. France was to Vietnam much as Britain was to the American colonies in the late 18th century with one big exception. The Brits founded and peopled much of the American colonies whereas France just waltzed in and exploited Vietnam.
I'm glad you and Japser found each other. You should be grateful for my help.
