Seen and heard on Ms. Theary C. Seng's Facebook accounts:
I feel an uncomfortable undercurrent among the
guests in Cambodia where they prefer the status quo (loser CPP) to
change (winner CNRP) because it would upset their own comfort as the de
facto neo-colonists (which requires a feudalist state or
at least this magnitude of poverty).
Maybe they can extrapolate some
wisdom to their situation in the Cambodian context from this excerpt by
MLK, Jr.:
"You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative."

The hunting season will begin soon. First we will clean up the Vietnamese from Tonle Sap and then province by province until they are all back to Vietnam.
Aren't you happy to be back in your motherland, motherfucker?
think back to the dark period of khmer's past, my blood get boiled up with hatred toward America. during lon nol era, they promised to stand by us, hold our hands so that we can reach for democracy. but NO, they abandoned us, khmer, to fend for ourself. if they were to keep their promise our country would not fall in the hand of khmer Rouge. we would be the leading country in southeast asia. but NO, they bombed us...they promised to restored and help....they left us behind mercilessly...now they shamelessly ask us to pay them back debt....And we're not the only country they did this to (giving false hope/false promise for the sake of spreading democracy)..As one proud cambodian citizen, i do not want history to repeats itself...enough tears, enough blood, enough casualty, enough sorrow, enough heart broken for my beloved Cambodian (brothers and sisters). i pray for peaceful society and prosper khmers....
What goes around comes around.
