Khmer Rouge Genocide Indictment: MSM’s Communist Cover-Up
It is also striking that although some of these writers and publishers tip-toe around the subjects of Mao and communism, none make any direct comparison between the crimes of Pol Pot’s gang and those of Soviet Russia or Maoist China, by way of providing the background and context of which our news people are normally so proud. And it is in that striking omission that our press’ traditional cover-up of communism makes itself most visible.
It is at this point that I have to offer my compliments to NRB’s readers. With the press and academia in collusion to conceal the crimes of communism, it takes an unusual degree of alertness, astuteness, clarity of thought and a genuine appetite for knowledge to discover the truth in these matters. It is, though you may not have considered it that way, significant intellectual work. So my hat is off to you. And I’m not kidding around. I mean it.
It is no wonder that the young voted in such large numbers for Obama, and missed all the danger signs. Had they read all that reporting quoted above, what would have alerted them to Obama’s association with an ideology of poverty and murder? What would even have alerted them to the fact that there is an ideology of poverty and murder out there at all?
And what would have inspired any reader to bring moral pressure against the leftists they run into? That is a key point. The left must not be allowed to retain its grip on the moral high ground on the basis of altruistic slogans. They must be called to account for their actions — called to account by everybody, everywhere, all the time.
Just calling it leftist, or worse yet, “liberal” bias doesn’t even come close.
Oddly, the most telling and ideologically relevant quote out of that whole batch of material, came from the worst offender of all in the communist cover-up, the New York Times — although embedded as it is in an article that doesn’t mention communism, I can’t even conjecture about the writer’s intention:
More recently, in interviews with a Cambodian reporter, Thet Sambath, for a documentary called “Enemies of the People,” Mr. Nuon Chea said the killings of “enemies” were a necessary part of the revolution.
“If we kept these people they would kill the nation,” he said. “I have feelings for both the nation and the individual, but I clearly distinguish between them. If we must choose one or the other, I choose the nation. The individual I cast aside.”
… which is about as good a thumbnail sketch of communism and communist values as you could ask for in a daily paper.
But it goes unidentified. Ideology as such is unmentioned. And we are left to imagine that perhaps these are just the isolated private thoughts of a bad man.
Sort of like bin Laden.
