> Eugene Hasenfus, who as a 45-year-old former Marine and laid-off construction worker was thrust into the national spotlight in 1986 when, on a covert mission sponsored by the C.I.A., his gunrunning cargo plane was shot down over Nicaragua, setting off what would become known as the Iran-contra affair, died on Wednesday at his home in Menominee, Mich. He was 84.

If you haven't seen the #JohnPilger #documentaries about #Cambodia & how the #USgovernment is why #PolPot #KhmerRouge gained & retained power - please watch them.
It's important #geopolitical #history.
It was one of the worst #genocide atrocities in modern human history. Cambodians were #dehumanized like Vietnamese were. Both sovereign nations suffered many years of embargoes by US & their Western allies, along with Cold War pals back then - China. US was still angry & bitter about losing their imperialist invasion in Vietnam & they opted to punish Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos - they are really sore losers.

As you watch these #documentary films - please try to pay attention to how US officials haven't really changed their scripts in decades. They use similar lies/political deflective/avoidance verbal dances to this day. In 2024, they're talking about Arabs like they used to talk about Cambodians, Vietnamese & Laotians - like none of us are human beings. It's just collateral damage when a million or more POC folks, far from Western worlds, are mass murdered for political power games.
