TO ALL CAMBODIAN PEOPLE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY WAS EXPIRED FOR LONG TIME AGO. OUR COUNTRY IS RULLING BY YOUN SINCE 1979.

OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY AND HUNSEN'S GOVERNMENT ARE THE YOUN GAME.

THAKSIN AND THE BORDER POST IN SVAY RIENG ARE THE YOUN GAME.

The political history of Kampuchea since 1954 to date shows that more than ever that the important political concept of independence and sovereignty is a concept that is still relevant today in Kampuchea and deserves reflections. We speak here of political independence and non-economic independence which is another political concept.

The independence and sovereignty of a state is insured against countries outside by the armed forces.
In domestic policy how this independence is ensured against the immoderate personal ambition of certain politicians and who can put the destiny of the nation at risk?

Legal mechanisms such as democracy, political pluralism, separation of powers are insufficient mechanisms and can still be diverted from their objectives or may be thwarted by coups . The coup by Lon Nol in 1970 and the total and unconditional alignment of Pol Pot the sino khmer on China’s policy are two examples where the personal political ambition outweighs the interests of the Khmer nation and which led the country to disasters.

Who better than authentic Khmer to defend the interests of the Khmer Nation? This simple question is the starting point of concept of national identity Khmer and Khmer ethnic authentic.

For a Kampuchea independent and sovereign, we must reflect and promote a concept of national identity Khmer and Khmer ethnic authentic. A social promotion and social policy of positive discrimination today in Kampuchea must be done for khmer people pure. Positions of high responsibility should be reserved for Khmer ethnic pure.
We must reflect and develop and implement mechanisms to ensure the complete loyalty of politicians to the national interests of Kampuchea .
It is a necessity vital for the country today and national interest of Kampuchea to day .


To build a strong state, we believe in the virtue of the values of national identity, the national community and belonging to the same ethnic group (khmer ethnic in kampuchea) and undivided loyalty of politicians for their country and their ethnic group.

Pol Pot before his mysterious death in 1998 was arrested and sentenced in 1997 by his troops and comrades Ta mok.
Because all other Khmer Rouge suddenly realized that political line led by Pol Pot was bad for Kampuchea, and Pol Pot has betrayed the national interests of Kampuchea.
Pol Pot was in line unconditionally on China politic in the conflicts between China and Vietnam and has forgotten the national interests of Kampuchea and has led Kampuchea to the disaster by attacking Vietnam.
But this political conscience came too late.
Here is an example of the absence of democratic and thorough reflections on the concept of national identity and national independence and real national interests.

Personal interests and personal ambitions of a politician not to be confused with the real national interests.

11:14Pm,

What the hell do you know of history? Stop copying and pasting stuff. I bet you believe the Youn were the heroes too? People who knew the real story were either silenced, kill off and or in hiding. Hun Sen is afraid of his past coming back to haunt him. Everyone just believe whatever it is written. They can't think for themselves. We will never ever find out the truth because people just want to go on with their lives. People can believe in what they want, and I don't give a damn.

9:56 PM,

I cannot find in the history who was trasak Phaem? It was just a Myth. The scientists (Archeologists) are still digging looking for the past mystery. Because many Khmers are darn stupid about their own history. This Khmer King and with his big chick bone, and wide nose in front side, he may be related to the past like Bayon's four faces.

I hope the scientists will find some fossils of those ancient monarchs and check their DNA comparing to this modern monarch.

Cambodians should subsitute Independence Day with Colony Day instead since we are now under Viet's colony.
