THE ROAD FOR CAMBODIA'S SURVIVAL
The devil monster Ho Chi Minh planned to create an Indochina Federation composing of Cambodia, Vietnam, and Lao under Vietnam's control.
The 1979 invasion of Cambodia made Ho Chi Minh's dream materialized.
Vietnam has used Hun Sen as an effective tool to implement its plan to swallow Cambodia. For example, Pen Sovann refused to carry the K5 project, which killed hundreds of thousands of Khmer people, whereas Ah Kwack Hun Sen accepted to execute such plan.
Presently, the evil Yuon and its puppet Hun Sen have pushed Khmer people into a corner by leaving Khmer with only one option: participation in the general election.
Noting that violence, revolution will work in Yuon and Hun Sen's favor. For example, if there is violence, Yuon will integrate its secret agents into the crowds and stage more violence, giving Hun Sen a pretext to suppress our people legally.
Remember that we have the 1991 Paris Peace Accord, resulting from our decades long armed struggle against the expansionist Yuon.
We should focus on the 2018 election. What should we do to officially win this election?
After the CNRP has joined the National Assembly, some CNRP's supporters have lost their trust in the CNRP's leaders. Khmer people should know the evil Yiuon's determination to hold on to Cambodia. Yuon will not let Hun Sen to fall if the CNRP continued to boycott the National Assembly. Therefore, it was not a big mistake that the CNRP joined the National Assembly.
Khmer people should have perseverance and grab whatever the CNRP has accomplished and build up from there. Like it or hate it, they need to support the CNRP to win this next election first.
There is speculation that on the election day if the outcome of the election heavily favored the CNRP, the CPP will crash the computers and alter the result. If the CPP failed to do that, the CPP will find another way to stop the CNRP by not transferring the power.
When this moment comes - the CNRP OFFICIALLY won the election - Khmer people must be ready to commit their ultimate sacrifice to save Cambodia. Only when the fatal casualties reached a sizeable numbers (thousands deaths) that the international community would intervene to force the loser of the election to abide by the electoral rule. Khmer people need to help themselves first (stay united with the CNRP to win the election, and ready to sacrifice their life to force Hun Sen to relinquish his power) before other can help them.
In the mean time. the CNRP's leaders must stop making any unnecessary mistakes:
For Kem Sokha: stop fucking around like a stray dog.
For Sam Rainsy: stop allowing his wife Saumura to have influence on him because she is blindly pro Monique and Sihamoni who are Hun Sen and Yuon's puppet.
The recent news proved that Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha are still firmly united, evidenced by the fact that Hun Sen has acted to abolish the position of the minority leader in the congress, mainly stemmed from Kem Sokha's refusal to execute Hun Sen's order for Kem Sokha to split with Sam Rainsy. That is an excellent news for Khmer people and Cambodia.
Stay united, we will survive !!
