The paranormal past of Master Rao - Part 6

In June, 1969, as I had been able to foresee, I was arrested by the Saigon political police. I must endure questionings and tortures for about six months. Saigon officials wanted me to reveal my sources because in my thousands of press articles I had denounced many cases of corruption, incompetence and compromising committed by the highest members of the government and military hierarchy. There was also a plan to get me tried by the Saigon Military Tribunal — whose only sentence possible was the firing squad — and this for "treason" on grounds that I had maintained secret relations with the Communist Vietcong — as with all the parties to the Vietnam conflict. With the complicity of many sympathizers I could escape from my jail, but I did not because my astral chart indicated that I should wait. I remained in detention until the day when, yielding to the pressure of international press opinion, the Saigon authorities let me out — but only to transfer me immediately to a military training camp near Saigon. And so I was drafted into the South-Vietnamese army by force!

After a three-month training, I became a second private — my academic degrees should have normally qualified me for an officers' school. I was posted to a combat unit in the most dangerous part of the border with Cambodia. The unit's commanding officer, who had known me before as a journalist, consulted me whenever he planned to launch any search-and-destroy operation. In this way my unit only suffered insignificant losses during the seven months of my presence.

At the end of October, 1970, my Chinese astrology chart indicated clearly that the time of my liberation had come and that some people would be ready to help me get out of the country. I immediately deserted from the South-Vietnamese army and headed for Phnom-Penh, the capital of neighboring Cambodia. I had to walk day and night through Cambodian jungles, running the risks of getting recaptured by the South-Vietnamese operating troops or their Cambodian allies, encountering all kinds of gangsters, crossing minefields, or receiving bombs unleashed by American B-52 planes.
