Salon magazine article
editReading numerous references to a You Tube video that I watched regarding US President Jimmy Carter's "Global 2000 Report", I came across information regarding numerous Club of Rome and Committee of 300 depopulation claims including one where the US President Nixon / Henry Kissinger team during Vietnam war played a vital role in the rise to power of Pol Pot.
Some further searching uncovered an article by John Pilger. A related article that cited the Pilger article stated that US State Department Thomas Enders was instrumental in various ways of bringing to power the Pol Pot / Khmer Rouge regime. Salon Magazine explicitly says that Thomas Enders selected bombing targets in Cambodia for US air raids. The Pilger article says that nearly all of these targets were innocent populations with only a couple being involved in NVA resupply of Soviet arms.
The resulting Pol Pot / Khmer Rouge regime killed anyone they could find who wore glasses, had an education, could read, or who owned or could drive a car / truck. The death toll was from 1.6 to several million of their own countrymen. The mass, unmarked graves were nicknamed "The Killing Fields." Critics of the regime point out that the plot for such mass killings originated in Paris, France, and Washington DC, and had the earmarks of the French Revolution (that originated with the Liberty, Fraternity, etc, of the European Freemasons) where many aristocrats were beheaded by guillotine.
Can the current article include this Salon Magazine information? Oldspammer (talk) 09:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm currently coming across this information and I wonder the same. I suspect with accusations as stark as these we would need independent, high-quality reliable sources for corroboration. __meco (talk) 17:52, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
The Massacre at El Mozote
