Bradley Cox's Peabody Award acceptance speech for "Who Killed Chea Vichea?"


Acceptance by Bradley Cox:

We are thrilled, honored and a little bit stunned to be here. I'd like to thank my producers, Rich Garella and Jeffrery Saunders and also of course, the people at ITVS. Vichea was special because he dared to speak up and be heard. He was killed for it and just a few weeks ago, they did it again, murdering a well-respected enviromental activist. In a country run on impunity and fear, no one is safe and nothing is changed. I dedicate this award to Chea Vichea and his family, to garment workers around the world who often can't even earn a living wage, and to the good people of Cambodia who deserve much, much better.

Bradley Cox is so caring and nice to the people of Cambodia. He brought these issues to the international level. I hope people are aware of what goes on in Cambodia in the wake of economic growth and development.

Cambodia is growing at a rapid rate economically. She is becoming a developed country and not of a poor. At the same juncture, there so many issues and challenges facing her and this regime is not prepared to deal with them in a tactful manner. Like the author of this article said, corruption is so pervasive and is accepted as a norm. I hope Mr. Cox will do more documentary films to exposed this tyranny government.

Who killed chea vichea... who killed chea knuy? Who know? It's too obvious who killed these great men. Can you tell whom? I CAN......EVERY CAMBODIAN PATRIOTS WHO STANDING ON THEIR WAY, MUST BE KILLED. I am not a racist, but in cambodia the true blood always be the victim of racial maters from chinese and rich and high rank vietnames who's working in cambodia govt. As the world already knew kkhmer rouge regime under communist backed up by chinese and the shadow of vietcong which killed over 2 million cambodian. From generation to generation cambodian patriots purged one by one.

1:01 AM, Lon Nol soldier should have shot you. You are a bunch of KR Vietminh cowards who killed innocent and higher educated Khmer people. You need to stop your destructive and stupid mindset, asshole.

You are not KR, but you are a real secret Vietcong/Yuon agents hiding among Khmer Rouges and you are now pretending a former KR soldier these days to let evil Yuon/Viet CPP crooks and blind Vietnamese dogs kill and hurt innocent Khmer people.

Why are you here to post your comments to support CPP that is very destructive to Cambodia and lawless to Cambodian society? You act normal just like hidden Yuon/Viet faces during Killing Fields from villages to villages to track your enemies to your Vietminh.

You are stupid enough and have no remorse. Your Vietmih ass will be shot by real Khmer Rouges. If you keep coming back with your claim as a former KR soldier again, then you need to prove that you are a former KR soldier. However, you are not a former KR soldier, but you are still a Yuon/Viet spy with your Yuon/Vietcong brain. You seem not to care about Cambodia under the Communist CPP destruction. Who paid you to make a living as a cop.

2:28 AM,
Well Pal! Let’s chat, I have been working all night long and I enjoy chatting with the people in here. You have no right to tell me to leave off here. I have been honest to tell you and to the rest other folks that I was a Khmer Rouge soldier and now I am a cop. You seem don’t understand my comments, you keep telling me that I am pretending to be KR soldier and YOUN spy. I don’t know where you lived, abroad or in Srok Khmer but no matter, you should respect me because we are ‘Khmer’. I have lot of people here love me because I am a heard worker, I have been helping the people, I have done excellent job.

3:00 AM - former KR soldier, you only help the CPP supporters who are Yuon/Vietnamese and maybe CPP land grabbers. How about that? Why did you support CPP that is a secret Vietnamese master's dirty game to swallow Cambodia and hurt innocent Cambodian/Khmer people by evicting them from their own lands?

Why did you make fun of the suffering people and you don't care how hurtful they are after being evicted illegally from the CPP crooks (who are not really Khmer, but Vietnamese/Yuon who do not care care about the poor Khmer people). If you are Khmer, then you need to show that you care about them. However, you don't care so that you are Yuon/Vietnamese yourself surrounding by your CPP Yuon supporters. So, stop pretending.
