Ho with Vo Nguyen Giap [left] whose gift for military strategy enabled Ho to put his ideas into actions. Before gaining fame, Giap had been a history teacher and known to have admired Napoleon Bonarpart of France. In this respect, just like Ho who quoted Wilson's and America's famous declaration of independence, both Giap and Ho would subsequently make the nations of their idols [France and America] pay dearly for their imitations and 'adorations' [School of Vice]
“I don’t know of any other leader of his stature having done
this kind of masquerading under different guises, or having had to change his
name so many times which makes me wonder whether this was just a necessity, or
was it the sense of the drama in the man that prompted him to do this?”
“His achievements required the effort of a man who was part
Lenin, part Ghandi, part Confucius, and all Vietnamese”

the party that came later and used brute force to establish its claim.”

Hanoi-backed CPP cop lays into proteting Khmer Krom buddhist monks
Cruelty and violence meted out to Buddhist monks are
considered acts of the utmost sacrilegious nature in most Buddhist cultures; arguably
even more ‘reprehensible’ than similar acts committed against one's own
parents, for example, given the clergy's self-renunciation and its monastic role
in guiding humanity along the path of peace and non-violence. One of these Khmer
Krom monks was later found with his throat slit, but government authorities insisted
the victim committed suicide! - School of Vice
“Sakhorn's arrest and deportation sparked a wave
of Khmer Krom demonstrations in Cambodia, with clashes in Phnom Penh between
Khmer Krom monks and monks loyal to Tep Vong. Hun Sen warned after the
street fights in a speech broadcast on national television in February 2008
that he would provide "free coffins" to anyone who attempted to
reclaim Khmer Krom lands and "help bury their corpses".
The Khmer Krom maintain their cause is about human
rights, not independence or the return of their lands to Cambodia. They claim
to only want some say in their future, and for Vietnam to stop falsifying their
history. In 2007, the Vietnamese Communist Party disseminated a freshly written
history of southern Vietnam that asserted that the Khmer were not its
indigenous inhabitants.
