Year Zero – The Silent Death of Cambodia
Filed under Military and War, 3 Comments,
President Nixon and Mr. Kissinger unleashed 100,000 tons of bombs, the equivalent of 5 Hiroshimas.
The bombing was their personal decision; they legally and secretly, they bombed Cambodia, a neutral country, back to the Stone Age.
And I mean Stone Age in its’ literal sense.
John Pilger vividly reveals the brutality and murderous political ambitions of the Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge totalitarian regime which bought genocide and despair to the people of Cambodia while neighboring countries, including Australia, shamefully ignored the immense human suffering and unspeakable crimes that bloodied this once beautiful country.

This was very enlightening. I’ve read “The Killing Fields,” which was a nonfiction book about these events, but watching this has been refreshing. It’s hard to believe that people can be capable of committing such atrocities.

No. It’s propaganda. At least the beginning is. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet. US bombing of Cambodia ended on August 17th of 1973! The Khmer Rouge took Pnom Pehn in Sept. of 1975. The bombing ended two years before year zero, and over two years before any starvation began. He fails to mention that. In fact, it appears that his mis-impression is quite deliberate. Tying Nixon and Kissinger to the Cambodian genocide is completely gratuitous.
