		However, the Binh Xuyen broke the deadlock in their own inimitable fashion: they advised the Chinese franchise holders that the Binh Xuyen police would no longer protect the casinos from Viet Minh terrorists (87) kidnapped the head of the Macao syndicate, (88) and, finally, pledged to continue everybody's stipends.

		O.S.S. Colonel Edward Lansdale used bribery with CIA funds to split the Hoa Hao and in 1965 General Duong Van Minh crushed the Hoa Hao and had General Ba Cut beheaded in public.

		By bribery, persuasion, and finally force, Diem virtually climinated the Binh Xuyen and the most important elements of the Hon Hao sects as threats to his authority.
