He Disappeared into the Jungle in 1969. The United States Acted Like He Never Existed.....

In April 1969, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier walked into the jungle on a mission so secret that if he was captured, his own government would deny he was ever there. No rescue would come. No explanation would be offered. His name would be sealed behind classified files.

Then he vanished.
His radio went silent.
And so did the country.

That soldier was Jerry Shriver. Among the men who served with him, he was known as Mad Dog. Not because he was reckless. Because once he took a mission, he did not quit.

Jerry Shriver was a Green Beret during the Vietnam War, operating with units most Americans never knew existed. He volunteered for deep reconnaissance and cross-border missions run by MACV-SOG, a covert command responsible for operations the Pentagon officially denied.

These missions crossed into Laos and Cambodia, countries the U.S. publicly claimed it was not fighting in. The men who went were told the rules clearly. If you were captured, you were on your own. The government would deny your presence. Your mission would never be acknowledged.

Shriver understood the bargain.
He accepted it anyway.

Shriver led small teams far beyond American lines, deep into triple-canopy jungle where visibility was measured in feet and silence was survival. Their job was to find North Vietnamese troop movements, supply routes, and hidden bases. They did not stay long. They struck quickly, gathered intelligence, and disappeared. They moved without air support they could openly claim. Without recognition. Without assurance that help would arrive if things went wrong.

The enemy knew him. They feared him. The men under his command trusted him because he never asked them to do anything he would not do first.

On April 24, 1969, Shriver’s team made contact with enemy forces deep inside Laos. A firefight erupted. Shriver radioed in. His voice was calm. Professional. Then the transmission cut out. No further contact was ever made. There was no body recovered. No confirmed death. No remains. Just a man swallowed by jungle and silence.

There was no rescue mission that the public ever learned about.
No announcement explaining where he had been sent.
No acknowledgment of what he had been doing.

Shriver was officially listed as Missing in Action. His files were classified. His missions remained secret.

Years passed. Then decades.

His family waited. They were given no answers, only paperwork and silence. There was no funeral. No headstone. No grave to visit. Only a name suspended in uncertainty.

Jerry Shriver fought in parts of the Vietnam War most Americans never knew existed. On maps that were never printed. In operations that could not be admitted. While protests filled streets and politicians debated policy, men like Shriver were already deep in enemy territory, fighting wars that would never make headlines.

And when they disappeared, the system moved on.

Some soldiers come home to parades. Some are buried with honor. Some are erased because acknowledging them would reveal uncomfortable truths.

Shriver belonged to the last group.

Jerry Shriver did not vanish because he failed. He vanished because he volunteered to fight in a place the United States officially pretended did not exist.

His disappearance exposes something uncomfortable about war. Not just its violence, but its secrecy. The way governments can ask for total sacrifice and then deny the person who made it.

Recognition came slowly, decades later, as classified programs were partially revealed and historians pieced together what units like MACV-SOG had actually done.

But even now, Jerry Shriver has no grave.

No to the taliban black burqa
The burqa is a foreign imposition, an oppressive garment that erases the vibrant beauty of Afghan culture.

@AzatAlsalim This is true of all islamized populations

Sadly most are ignorant because of the subsequent cultural genocide & worship the very ideology that massacred, tortured, enslaved, raped, submitted & erased them, and repeat on own family like zombies.

Thankfully many are waking up 🙏

Iranian girl states:
"Islam is neither the religion of Iran nor that of ancient Persia, Islam was imposed on us through torture, massacres, and rape, by enslaving Iranians to convert them to Islam. The Iranians, or Persians, were actually Zoroastrians.”

🚨From a young and talented girl inside Afghanistan:-

"Hello, how are you?

I hope everything is going well on your side.
Hello dear teacher, thank God, I am doing well.
The situation in Herat is not good, teacher. We cannot go outside. The Taliban are everywhere, and at every step they find excuses to detain and take away girls."

Nothing new. Even Ivan the Terrible was Turkic mixed. Historical records besides my family journals confirm intermarriage & political alliances btw Persian/Afghan & Turkic royal houses & noble families of Russia & the Caucasus. It's been happening for centuries. Lol & my DNA test proves it. #bigdeal

Putin encourages "mixed marriages" between Slavic Russians and non-Slavic Russians as a "security buffer" preventing civil strife.

This is what some idiots are claiming is a premier White Nationalist who will lead Western civilization to victory. 🤣

In this day and age, there are still Muslims who conduct “adultery tests.”

For some reason, progressives want people from this culture all over the West.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Taliban-affiliated religious scholars are divided over the acquisition and use of modern science and technology. Some, particularly among the older generation and certain Sufi-oriented clerics, view modern scientific education as unnecessary and criticize its growing influence. Others argue that learning and utilizing modern science and technology is both necessary and religiously mandated.
Mawlawi Abdul Hanan Deobandi, a senior Taliban-affiliated religious scholar in Lashkargah, Helmand, has described the study of modern science as fard kifayah (a collective religious obligation). He has also emphasized that the use of smartphones is a necessity in the modern era and should be embraced accordingly.
It is important to note that even these so-called progressive, pro-Taliban religious scholars do not regard girls’ education as being as necessary as the provision of modern education for boys.

After 130 years, a family is finally freed when someone pays off their debt.

Ancestors borrowed money once… their children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren paid price for 130 years, until stranger arrived as saviour.

This is quite common in Pakistan and parts of India. Extremely poor people will sometimes take out a loan from a loan shark that will charge them exorbitant interest rates. Since a lot of these people are illiterate they don’t know what they’re signing up for and can’t understand how, even after paying back so much money they still have enormous liabilities from interest. Some families find themselves in debt throughout their lives and that debt is often passed to their children creating an unending cycle of intergenerational servitude to the debtors. It’s absolutely monstrous that this is allowed. Good on this guys for getting even one family out of it.

Kind of like medieval times, where you had to pay rent for your prison cell.

Ancient DNA is changing what we thought about Çatalhöyük, the 9,000-year-old Neolithic settlement in modern-day Türkiye.

A new study analyzed genetic data from 131 individuals buried at the site in central Anatolia.

The results suggest that household ties were shaped more strongly through maternal lines than paternal ones. Female children were also buried with significantly more grave goods than male children.

This does not prove that Çatalhöyük was a matriarchy — but it does point to a female-centered society where women’s family lines played a central role in daily life, memory, and the home.

One of the world’s earliest large settlements may have been shaped through the mother’s line.
