Le Duc Tho, a member of the North Vietnam Communist Party’s Politburo, joins the North Vietnamese negotiating team as a special counselor. The Paris peace talks had begun in March 1968, but had made little headway in ending the war. In August 1969, Tho and Henry Kissinger would begin meeting secretly in a villa outside Paris in an attempt to reach a peace settlement. It was these private talks that would ultimately result in the January 1973 Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring the Peace in Vietnam. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Kissinger in 1973, Tho, aware that the North Vietnamese were still planning to conquer South Vietnam, declined the honor.

We need to learn from history. It's been shown over and over, it repeats itself. The weapons may differ a little, the words translate a little different, even the terrain differs but always we will find corruption and secrecy. We need to stay alert for the two headed snake.

That certainly is a title from the past "North Vietnam Communist Party’s Politburo" SP5 Mark Kuzinski. Thanks for reminding us about the "secret" meetings of Le Duc Tho and Henry Kissinger who met secretly in a villa outside Paris in an attempt to reach a peace settlement.
This reminded me that other unwanted people have been supported in France including Ayatollah Khomeini before the 1979 Iranian revolution.
