Last words on Tyranny




“When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt. It is no good to cry out after you are hurt; especially after you are mortally hurt. People talk about the impatience of the populace; but sound historians know that most tyrannies have been possible because men moved too late. it is often essential to resist a tyranny before it exists.”

G.K. Chesterton, Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of the body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Those who are capable of tyranny are capable of perjury to sustain it.”

Lysander Spooner

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle

These students are very shallow minded people but at the same time, because they don't know the full impacted like, what is behind that closed door? e.g. the agreement between the VC, Chinese and the CPP traitor crooks, because these kids did not go through losing land or housings or maybe in fact, they are one of the perpetrators' children themselves or maybe they are being trained to maintain that proposition of theirs and their aim could be to continue to steal, to rob and to kill us khmers like always.

Therefore, their intention is to block Surya Subedi from doing his job, to report from what he sees right from wrong. Their tactics are not new, it is being used and be manipulated by these crooks for hundreds of years, the tactics of lying, decieving and manipulation. In stead of learning from what is right, they went on to attack the educators and give no respect for them whatsoever, It is also known as ' Kroo Per Ang Waiy Buong', like kingta once said 'ah kroo Per' that is, 'a crocodile's confusion of its nile'.

In the west, we adore educators, we listen to them tentively, to what is being said and what went wrong. We try to learn from its mistakes and we appreciate such 'constructive criticism', because it is the only way to improve. The truth is, such criticism is good, because it has evidence to prove it otherwise, and also, it is about what else needs to be done.

Subedi's job is making sure every country is doing the right thing according to the law, that is, 'giving zero tolerance for human right abuses'. His report is based on what he sees. It is so wrong for Hun Sen to send his children to react in such a primative way toward Surya Subedi. He is a coward like always, the tactics he used are no different from his Bosses (VC and Chinese Crooks), he is borrowing his people's mouths and hands to do their dirty works.

Evidences are clearly seen, just look at the demolitions of their housings and how they been locked up after losing their home etc. How can a leader turns against his own people like that? what kind of a leader is he? yes, once he said that, he is a puppet of the crooks but why continue to do so, knowing that it is no good for the nation? why not get out of it now before it is too late?

To the crooks, for now, you can run but you can't hide, because in the end, the truth will always be the truth, simple as that. As for Surya Subedi, thank you for your continuing efford to do for what is right, accordingly, 'as the righteous will live forever and the wicked will be doomed', I am sure you will live forever and so, blessed are you to be the chosen one, to do this job.

Be blessed everyone!

the other quote i'd like to share here is: "never doubt that a small group ( age even for a person's age doesn't matter anymore nowadays when it comes to achievement and so on)of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has." margaret mead - an american anthropologist.

the other quote is "nothing in life is to be feared. it is only to be understood." marie curie (1867-1934)

this is where education and research and information come to play.

That transgender I know! You Know! ... has never ruled KI.

Its words has alienated people so much

I thought he died a long time ago, now he comes back.

I think KI welcomes everyone.
