And now an update about Cambodia:


We Americans all remember Cambodia.

Back in the late seventies, over four million people died at the hands of Pol Pot and the brigades of young people he controlled. Entire populations were forced from the cities and towns where they lived, to work endlessly in fields, and to randomly be selected for removal from the population.

A movie was made about the catastrophe: "The Killing Fields."

However most Americans do not realize that since 1998, a diabolical dictator named Hun Sen has ruled the nation.

He is a friend to the Globalist Corporations and helps them attain the unsafe working conditions and the low wages they require for the textile industry to operate inside Cambodia. Hun Sen also is most probably the person behind armed attacks on people trying to politically create a viable campaign to oust him from his position of power. Dying or being wounded from grenade attacks, or AK 47 sniper attacks, are both possible realities if you are a dissident opposed to Hun Sen.


"Even more recently, garment factory workers gathered many times to protest against their abominable work conditions. All they were asking for was 120 $ a month. What Hun Sen had to say to this was no, his government only offering a mere 90 $ a month to the people literally dying while making your clothes."

Just about a week ago, "the garment workers and the people protesting for freedom became one, against one enemy, Hun Sen."

But then, "on January the 3rd, Hun Sen once again crossed the line when his army opened fire on the garment workers protesters, with real ammunition, shooting to kill with AK-47s."
