EXTRACT FROM:
Chapter 56 - Debunk “The Killing Fields” movie – not
about killing!
More
examples of duping the world
http://www.filmsite.org/kill.html “The
film chronicles unforgettable scenes of suffering endured during the Cambodian
bloodbath (known as "Year Zero") that killed 3 million Cambodians.
His struggle to stay alive in the rural, barbaric 're-education' labor camp ..
his horrifying walk through the skeletal remains of the brutal massacres in the
Valley of Death, the muddy "killing fields," all present potent
apocalyptic images on his journey to Thailand”. Note: where are these unforgettable scenes? Where are the
brutal massacres? Only one small “muddy” killing field (actually a dyke) is
shown, for at most 4 minutes. Again, the reviewer could not have seen the film,
and is falling back on what he or she thinks the movie is about.
My
coming movie: “The
Real Killing Fields”
My book provides an intimate account of my
family and my survival under the Khmer Rouge. To really set the record
straight, one day I will promote and make a movie about the Genocide. It will
be an accurate, dramatic and tragic account of my personal experiences of the
Genocide and its impact on me, my family, my people and my country.
It will feature many gruesome scenes, a
great escape, miraculous survival stories and family tragedies. I will be the
heroine, but my father will be the other hero, in his role as a freedom-fighter
commander, trying to overthrow the killing regime. We are the real Khmer
Patriots.
The audience will go away, horrified and
overwhelmed by the horror, and by riveting details about the Genocide. Their
sense of history, and man’s inhumanity to man, will be expanded. We the victims
will no longer invisible. All the Genocide deniers will be revealed for who
they are.
My movie, like my book, will spur the
national consciousness, and make people proud to be Cambodian. The Pol Pot genocidal
regime will be revealed and reviled in all its evil - it will never be forgiven
or forgotten. The Khmer Rouge Genocide will no longer be whitewashed by lies
like in “The Killing Fields”, to cover up American guilt for its role in the Genocide.
The older generation of Cambodians knows
what really happened - the younger generation must know about this part of
their horror heritage.
The
Jews, the Holocaust and Pol Pot
There is a parallel between Hitler and Pol
Pot. Both caused Genocides; the Khmer Rouge caused over 3 millions deaths.
Hitler over 5 million. The Americans (the Gods of Genocide), were responsible
for nearly 5 million dead Cambodians (as I showed earlier) – a similar total as
Hitler. So Hitler and the Americans have a lot in common.
We
must learn from the Jews
Cambodians must learn from the example of
the Jews: there are some events in history one can never forgive or forget. The
Jews have also been masters at ensuring that universities, cultural institutions,
museums, world wide, make sure that the memory of the Holocaust will never die.
Cambodia has nothing like this. Contrary to Jewish children (fully aware of the
Holocaust), Cambodian children have no idea about the Khmer Rouge Genocide, its
causes and results.
The
world knew, stood by, did nothing to help
The Allies did little before and during the
war to help the Jews. They knew from 1941 about the Nazi’s plan to exterminate
all the Jews in Europe. America’s pre-war immigration policy restricted Jews
from escaping the coming Holocaust. Just as with the Khmer Rouge, the world
stood by and did nothing to stop the Holocaust/Genocide:
“Ultimately, American
Jewish rescue efforts were dependent on U.S. wartime policy. Since U.S. policy
did not place rescue as a priority, the efforts of American Jewish
organizations and leaders to push for rescue often fell on deaf ears. ” http://www.myjewishlearning.com/history
-------------
We
share a common cause - fight the deniers
Jews and Cambodian’s share a common cause:
the world must never forget, deny or apologize, for extermination of
defenseless peoples. I ask the world’s Jews: help Cambodia follow your example,
in revealing the truth, and then ensuring that the world can never forget. And
help purge all those liars and deniers, who propagate the dirty lies about the
Khmer Rouge Genocide (Holocaust) and America’s role.
----------------
Correcting history
I am the one
who is going to be “carrying the country’s history”, so that it will be known
from one generation to the next, and forever.
There will
be no place left, no corner, for Genocide deniers to hide. The world will spit
on them (and hopefully soon, their graves), for deceiving the world for so
long.
