Part 1 of the never-ending battle: “Betrayal reeks through the pores of his skin”
Translated from French by Luc SârHistory
“Betrayal reeks through the pores of his skin”
By N. Sihanouk
“Betrayal reeks through the pores of his skin”
By N. Sihanouk
1- In the 60s. At the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, under the very high presence of H.M. the Queen My Maman (Preah Kossamak Nearirath), my beloved Uncle Samdech Krom Preah Sisowath Monireth told me: “Your confidence Man, Lon Nol reeks betrayal through the pores of his skin (sic! It was said in French). One day he will betray you in a sordid manner.”
2- That evening, what came out of the mouth of Samdech Monireth was prophetic. Furthermore, Monireth was very loved and admired by numerous officers of the KRAF (Khmer Royal Armed Forces). These royalist officers knew everything that was plotted against the Monarchy and myself.
3- As several great western journalists observed and have written in abundance during that time and in the years following the super-diabolical Putsch of 18 March 1970, Lon Nol surrounded himself with occultists (sic!), astrologers and other “fortune tellers” who never stopped telling him in loud voice, after learned astrological calculations: “Prime Minister, it is not (just) your rank that the Heaven and History reserve for you. You are destined to reign as the unique and absolute Master of Kampuchea, and even beyond the borders of Kampuchea.”
(And thus, Lon Nol dreamt of founding a Khmer-Mon Empire!!)
