You don't believe him, anything for he said it wasn't true, all the Khmer rouge leader major they are always answers to be negations about the Cambodian people died.
I can read the man energies he answer was firm and quite offensive . For sure he’ll answer was under 1 millions how many Khmer blood is under he’s hand my brother in law he’s entire siblings were brought to question by Pol Pot and never return back home since! I’ll know it’s more than 3 Millions death commit during this atrocities time. Also Pol Pot alone can’t surpass this death record but remember there is also Viet Kong ( Vietnam Comm, China Comm , Henry Kissinger , Thailand that forces the Khmers refugees to return back to Phnom Danregn known as Danregn Genocides by stepping on the ground were landmine are located .
A lot of people think Pol Pot killed several millions. He said Pol Pot was good and Duch of S-21 said Pol Pot was too busy with military planning instead of having people killed. Pol Pot also denied this during one interview before his death. The said "other group" infiltrating and committing the killings and Pol Pot also claimed this too. Because of this he did the purge in the Khmer Rouge which many escaped to get the Vietnamese assistance. The Khmer Rouge were complex group...they had as many as eight groups. There were stories of those who had lived through the regime who said some Khmer Rouge group weren't as brutal as some other ones. Some killed and starved people whereas others didn't. This was also depicted in the movie in "The Killing Fields".
We will never understand, why Khmer Rouge was so brutal to its own people? Why Uno and USA stand by them as they kill millions of Peoples in Cambodia and Vietnam . My heart beats still for those Victims.
USA didn’t intend to killed Cambodia but because of Henry Kissinger Secretaries of States with he’s reckless and senseless humanity he’s taught there is Vietnam Communism Headquarter were hidden along side the border of Cambodia so he just order rationally the mass bombing B52 that killed thousand innocent Khmers civilians the evils part there is none Vietnamese Communism Headquarter can be found near by Cambodia border .
The building, where the shop was situated, had been demolished by the then council, in the 60's, to make a space for a modern shop building!! There's a commemorative plaque, saying that " the building disappeared "!!!!!
Wonder what paint thinner old boy has been drinking. Becasue i want some. 😅😊 Delusional and lack of accountability. Needs a good sleeper hold and more to experience what the victims went through Khmer Rouge kept very meticulous records of all they "interrogated" and killed. Including the photo of the brown haired guy
I really wanted to see the film today and listen to the session. Too bad the Empire only accepts electronic bank cards! I wonder if Red Mole ever refused entry to an audience member for offering them cash? :)
Finau 'Ulukālala is my 4th great grandfather on my Dad's side. His story should have a movie made of it. Its one that would gain high interest by so many. Including our young Tongan youth. 💯
US under Nixon and Kissinger 🇺🇸 destroyed Cambodia 🇰🇭. First the secret bombing, then the coup, help overthrowing the king , help handpicked a dummy in Lon nol as prime minister. Lastly leave with no aid when the communist Khmer Rouge were winning the war . US know it’s all their fault that caused the 2.5 million deaths in Cambodia. That’s why they never taught their students about the Cambodian genocide in high schools. Everyone knows about hitler . But no one knows about pol pot and the Khmer Rouge.
Pol pot and hun sen both are the same people, they tortured, killed and destroyed Cambodia. Hun sen he was still tortured, killed Khmer and stealing destroyed democracy in Cambodia.
Yes I see the story also me myself I've been through that regime and I'm the person before 1975 I fight with the Republic again the communist I lost the war 1975 the company stuck over and almost 2.5 million Cambodian people include my four brothers two sister and my father me on 1976 they take me after they kill my family to take me prison thank God I'm survive and I have a lot of story to tell and sometime when I see when I think when I remind me I feel I don't know how to say thank you
This story mirrors the experience of Isaac Davis and John Young of the Fair American in 1790. With 11 of the crew massacred as revenge for the Olowalu incident, the two sailors were brought ashore to parlay with Kamehameha the First. After explaining the importance of cannon to Kamehameha the pair were established in his court as military counselors who helped Kamehameha gain dominance over Hawaii
I believe that was the time when missionaries stole a huge amount of Golden artifacts which were retrieved by locals from the sunken Spanish galleons which sank in a relatively shallow waters..... In the eighties tons of gold was taking out of Tonga by arrangement ! ....
My great, great, great, great and great grandfather. 5x He had William George Mariner who married a Tongan woman name Sela Melenaite and went to live in Salelavalu, Savai’i Samoa, then had Toalepai Fatuimoana Mariner and then had Siona Mariner and then my great grandfather, Logoi Valevale Mariner. So that’s how we lived in Savai’i. Beautiful history! God bless. ❤🙏🏻👑
I always wondered how the last name Mariner was connected to Samoa when he was adopted in Tonga. I know so many Samoan Mariner but not one Tongan Mariner. Lol
Wow…the old kook says Cambodia would be 20x as developed as it is now if the Khmer Rouge had remained in power to this day 😂 how? Everyone would be dead and anyone remaining would basically be enslaved farmers. Bonkers.
