20th-century Cambodian revolutionary and politician

Legendary journalist and author Elizabeth Becker, who has spent her career bearing witness to the frontlines of history, joins us to talk about her new book, You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War ,a riveting account of three trailblazing female correspondents who shattered gender barriers to cover the Vietnam War. The book tells the stories of Frances FitzGerald, Kate Webb, and Catherine Leroy, but Elizabeth herself reported from Cambodia and Vietnam in the 1970s. Her courage and insight—captured in You Don't Belong Here—help redefine how we understand both war and the craft of journalism. We'll also explore Becker's earlier, haunting book, When the War Was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution. Drawing on her harrowing reporting in Cambodia, Becker offers an account of the Khmer Rouge's genocide. She became one of only two Western journalists to meet Pol Pot—an experience that forever shaped her understanding of power, propaganda, and human tragedy. That historic meeting has now inspired the new feature film Meeting with Pol Pot (2024), directed by acclaimed Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh. The dramatization follows three Western journalists navigating a tightly controlled “Potemkin village” as the regime teeters on the brink of collapse and mass murder is underway behind the scenes. The film, which premiered at Cannes in 2024, brings Becker's gripping firsthand account to life and raises questions about truth, memory, and the moral responsibility of journalists. As the character based on Becker—Lise Delbo, played by Irène Jacob—observes, “Genocide is also about silence. You don't see anything, you don't hear anything.” Elizabeth Becker is a pioneering journalist and author. She began her career as a war correspondent for The Washington Post in Cambodia and later served as The New York Times' Senior Foreign Editor. She has covered politics, economics, and international affairs for decades and is a sought-after commentator and lecturer. Her books—award-winning, deeply reported, and beautifully written—have reshaped how we understand Vietnam, Cambodia, and the role of women in war.

G.K. and Dave launch this episode with an excerpt from Paul Harvey's timeless 1965 monologue, If I Were the Devil. From there, the guys dig into how far the Democrat Party has fallen — so deranged and devoted to its radical leftist agenda that it can't even bring itself to demand Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones end his campaign after he fantasized about murdering a Republican political opponent. Jones reportedly wrote that if he had only two bullets, one would go to his GOP rival — and he'd have to decide whether Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot deserved the second. The discussion continues as G.K. and Dave expose the Party's moral decay and its refusal to congratulate President Trump on his historic diplomatic success in brokering genuine peace between Israel and Hamas. It's a powerful reminder that Paul Harvey's warning wasn't prophecy — it's reality.

On Friday, National Review published text messages from former Virginia House of Delegates member Jay Jones (D) sent to a Republican colleague — House Delegate Carrie Coyner — in 2022. In the messages, Jones expresses disdain for Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), then says that he would shoot Gilbert in a hypothetical scenario where he could kill either him or dictators Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler. Jones went on to suggest that he wanted Gilbert's children to die from gun violence because it might prompt the speaker to change his stance on gun control.

Send us a textJesaja 48:10 Ek het julle gelouter, maar nie soos silwer nie. Ek het julle gelouter in die smeltkroes van lyding. Kyk, ek weet nie watter soort lewe jy tot op hierdie punt gelei het nie ... maar ek neem aan jy is nie so boos soos Adolf Hitler of Pol Pot nie. Maar ons weet almal dat ons foute het; ons het gewoontes wat aangespreek en verfyn moet word. Nie een van ons is immers perfek nie.Om daardie growwe kante van ons glad te skuur en om ons karakter te verfyn, is ‘n pynlike proses. Om selfs net aan onsself te erken dat ons nie perfek is nie, kan moeilik wees, nè?Dink nou vandag mooi aan jouself: dink aan die foute wat jy oor en oor maak, wat nie net jouself benadeel nie, maar ook diegene rondom jou? Erken ruiterlik watter dele van jou karakter werk nodig het. Kom nou, watter? En sal jy God toelaat om jou daarmee te help?Vir sy eie volk, Israel, het Hy die volgende gesê:Jesaja 48:10 Ek het julle gelouter, maar nie soos silwer nie. Ek het julle gelouter in die smeltkroes van lyding.Toe ek grootgeword het, het my pa by die plaaslike staalfabriek gewerk. Hy het my vertel hoe hy by die hoogoond gesien het hoe die gesmelte staal teen 1 500 grade Celsius uitkom.Daar was ‘n vuil skuim, wat metaalskuim genoem word, wat bo-op hierdie rooiwarm gesmelte staal gedryf het. Dit was die onsuiwerhede wat geskei is om die staal te suiwer en dit sterk te maak.En dis presies wat God doen wanneer ons onsself in sy oond van suiwering bevind – om die vuil skuim te verwyder om ons rein en sterk te maak.Ons kan óf met Hom saamwerk, óf teen Hom veg.

De 1975 à 1979, les Khmers rouges ont exterminé deux millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants. Mais 50 ans après, qui s'en souvient ? (Rediffusion) Prétextant un futur bombardement américain, les Khmers rouges ordonnent d'évacuer Phnom Penh lorsqu'ils entrent dans la capitale du Cambodge le 17 Avril 1975. En réalité, la ville est vidée, et sa population déportée vers les campagnes devenues camps de travail et de rééducation. C'est le début du génocide cambodgien dans le nouveau Kampuchéa Démocratique où les mots de la langue khmère sont revus et corrigés. Kamtech ne signifie plus seulement tuer, mais détruire ou réduire en poussière sans laisser de trace. Alors comment faire pour se souvenir du passé et apaiser les morts ? Avec le témoignage du cinéaste Rithy Panh dont les films sont projetés dans le cycle « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » au Forum des images à Paris. « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » : la bande annonce. Et la participation de : - Soko Phay, professeure en Histoire et théorie de l'art à l'Université Paris 8, dont le livre, Cambodge, l'art devant l'extrême est à paraître aux éditions Naïma. Co-organisatrice, avec Pierre Bayard, du programme « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » au Forum des images. Au Cambodge, environ deux millions de personnes – soit près du quart de la population – ont péri entre 1975 et 1979, à la suite de déportations, de meurtres de masse et de famines. Face au génocide perpétré par les Khmers rouges, l'art est un défi que les artistes doivent surmonter. Rithy Panh, Vann Nath, Séra, Svay Sareth ou encore, dans la seconde génération, Davy Chou, Vandy Rattana, Guillaume Suon, Jenny Teng n'ont eu de cesse de faire œuvre de mémoire, pour s'élever contre le déni et l'effacement des morts sans sépulture. Cinquante ans après le début des massacres dans son pays, Soko Phay revisite les relations entre le témoignage et la fiction et montre comment les œuvres mémorielles donnent à penser les séquelles profondes au sein de la société cambodgienne. La création, par ses ressources symboliques, permet de dévoiler ce qui a été dérobé au regard, tout en assurant le travail de transmission des événements non-inscrits dans l'histoire officielle. - Jean-Baptiste Phou, écrivain, metteur en scène, auteur du livre « 80 mots du Cambodge », à L'asiathèque. 80 mots qui sont autant d'histoires qui racontent le Cambodge et qui, en plus des racines des mots et de leur résonance dans le coeur des femmes et des hommes qui les utilisent, évoquent le lien particulier qu'entretient l'auteur avec le Cambodge, ses habitants et leur langue. La famille de Jean-Baptiste Phou est d'origine chinoise de l'ethnie Teochew, et a émigré au Cambodge. Les attaches chinoises de la mère restent fortes et Jean-Baptiste, qui a choisi de pratiquer la danse khmère et de s'installer au Cambodge, s'attache à approfondir les traditions du pays auquel il a décidé d'appartenir et en même temps nous fait part des difficultés qu'il rencontre pour comprendre le mode de vie et les réactions des gens et pour s'acclimater et s'insérer. Les mots sont souvent choisis en référence à son histoire personnelle. - Anne-Laure Porée, journaliste, anthropologue, pour son livre « La langue de l'Angkar, leçons khmères rouges d'anéantissement », aux éditions La Découverte. Comment bien torturer pour réussir un interrogatoire en bon révolutionnaire ? Comment présenter un dossier d'aveux qui satisfasse les dirigeants ? Voilà ce qu'enseigne Duch, le chef khmer rouge du centre de mise à mort S-21, aux interrogateurs qu'il forme de 1975 à 1978 à Phnom Penh. Ses leçons, qui dictent comment penser et agir au service du Parti communiste du Kampuchéa, ont été consignées avec soin dans un cahier noir à petits carreaux d'une cinquantaine de pages. Anne-Laure Porée décrypte ce document capital, plongeant le lecteur dans le quotidien des génocidaires cambodgiens. Elle identifie trois mots d'ordre au service de l'anéantissement : cultiver – la volonté révolutionnaire, l'esprit guerrier et la chasse aux « ennemis » –, trier – les « ennemis » à travers diverses méthodes, de la rédaction d'une biographie sommaire à la torture physique, en passant par la réécriture de l'histoire – et purifier – les révolutionnaires comme le corps social. Ces notions reflètent la politique meurtrière orchestrée par le régime de Pol Pot, au pouvoir à partir du 17 avril 1975, qui, en moins de quatre ans, a conduit un quart de la population cambodgienne à la mort. En prenant les Khmers rouges au(x) mot(s), La Langue de l'Angkar rend plus sensibles la logique organisatrice et les singularités d'un régime longtemps resté en marge des études sur les génocides. En partenariat avec RFI et le Forum des images, le numéro hors-série Historia retrace toute l'histoire du Cambodge, des rois bâtisseurs d'Angkor au régime de terreur de Pol Pot, en passant par le protectorat français et la déclaration d'indépendance.

Read Ryan's piece here: https://unherd.com/.../were-still-distracting-ourselves.../ It's now almost a reflex: an election is held, and someone pushes the big red Death of Democracy panic button. When Trump won, liberals saw a gold-plated Hitler in a red baseball cap. Then Biden took over and conservatives warned of Stalin or Pol Pot reborn, where your kids would be forced to go to gay camp and pray to RuPaul before lunch (they're doing it again with Zohran Mamdani in New York). The hysterias flip, but the impulse stays the same: to imagine top-down tyranny as the looming threat to our livelihoods.

In his new book Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that most on the political left have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground. Eric Heinze is Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech is Everything (MIT Press), among other books, and has published over 100 articles and has been featured in radio and television and other media around the world. His new book is Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left.
Das Pol-Pot-Regime hat in Kambodscha zwei Millionen Menschenleben ausgelöscht. Längst Geschichte, könnte man meinen. Der Terror wirkt aber bis heute nach, berichtet Jennifer Johnston. Von Jennifer Johnston.
In Kambodscha löschten die kommunistischen Roten Khmer unter der Führung von Pol Pot zwischen 1975 und 1979 fast ein Viertel der Bevölkerung aus. Die Menschen verhungerten, starben an Überarbeitung oder wurden auf brutalste Weise hingerichtet. Die Roten Khmer wollten einen Neustart, sozusagen im Jahr Null; einen Agrarstaat, in dem Besitz keine Rolle spielt. Lehrer, Ärzte, Rechtsanwälte waren der Feind. Die Folgen der Schreckensherrschaft sind bis heute im Land zu spüren. Ein tief verwurzeltes kollektives Trauma prägt Generationen, die demografische Struktur wurde nachhaltig verändert und die wirtschaftliche sowie soziale Entwicklung blieb jahrzehntelang hinter den Möglichkeiten zurück. Eine BR24-Reportage von unserer ARD-Korrespondentin in Südostasien Jennifer Johnston

Jack Posobiec is back to discuss all the latest threats facing America's future. They discuss the Ukraine-Russia war, NATO's potential involvement, and Vladimir Putin's leadership. Posobiec shares insights from his recent trips to Poland and Hungary, discussing the geopolitical dynamics and rising nationalism in Europe. The conversation also delves into U.S. fiscal policies, with criticism of the budget bill from both Rand Paul and Elon Musk. Referencing historical figures like Pol Pot and Chairman Mao, they discuss the threat of radical left wing movements. Looking ahead to the midterms, Posbiec and Savage discuss how the Administration's current actions may impact the midterm elections.
This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 2025 edition of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema with Meeting with Pol Pot director Rithy Panh and journalist Elizabeth Becker, moderated by FLC's Vice President, Programming, Florence Almozini. Meeting with Pol Pot will open at Film at Lincoln Center next Friday, June 13 with in-person Q&As at select screenings opening weekend. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/polpot In 1978, three French journalists arrive in Cambodia to survey the country and interview its leader, Pol Pot—but after a picture-perfect arrival, cracks begin to emerge in the murderous regime's facade of respectability. For Cambodian-born Rithy Panh, the damage inflicted upon his homeland by the Khmer Rouge has fueled a lifetime of innovative work in the vein of 2013's The Missing Picture, which reconstructed the period's events in part through clay-figurine dioramas. This real-life journalistic excursion, based on true events detailed in Elizabeth Becker's nonfiction book When the War Was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution, is brought to life thanks to exemplary lead performances from Irène Jacob, Grégoire Colin, and Cyril Gueï, meticulously conjuring the sights and sounds of 1978 Cambodia with the assistance of archival footage and more clay figurines. The result is a unique admixture—historical horror paired with a rich meditation on the impossibility of portraying it—that only Panh could make. A Strand Releasing release.
1975 was a time of change in global politics. There was the horror of the Pol Pot genocide, the end of the Vietnam War - while in Australia there was the dismissal of the Labor Whitlam government. It was also a time when Australia was rapidly changing into the multicultural society we see today, coinciding with the birth of the nation's multilingual broadcaster: SBS. - 1975年是全球政治格局发生重大变革的一年。柬埔寨发生了红色高棉大屠杀,越南战争宣告结束——与此同时,惠特拉姆政府工党被解散。这也是澳大利亚迅速转型为今日多元文化社会的关键时期,恰逢我国多语言广播机构SBS的诞生。
In Kambodscha löschten die kommunistischen Roten Khmer unter der Führung von Pol Pot zwischen 1975 und 1979 fast ein Viertel der Bevölkerung aus. Die Menschen verhungerten, starben an Überarbeitung oder wurden auf brutalste Weise hingerichtet. Die Roten Khmer wollten einen Neustart, sozusagen im Jahr Null; einen Agrarstaat, in dem Besitz keine Rolle spielt. Lehrer, Ärzte, Rechtsanwälte waren der Feind. Die Folgen der Schreckensherrschaft sind bis heute im Land zu spüren. Ein tief verwurzeltes kollektives Trauma prägt Generationen, die demografische Struktur wurde nachhaltig verändert und die wirtschaftliche so wie soziale Entwicklung blieb jahrzehntelang hinter den Möglichkeiten zurück. Unsere ARD-Südostasien-Korrespondentin Jennifer Johnston berichtet.

Sarah is currently on anti-depressants, though she wonders whether she needs them. Nancy is not on SSRIs, though she was part of a gentle brigade who nudged Sarah to increase her dosage last year. This is a complicated knot! The ladies talk about over-medication, how cultural taboos migrate, and the problem with treating sadness, anger, frustration — very human emotions — with a pill. Also discussed:* Nancy suddenly cares about the Navy; Sarah questions this* That time Brooke wore a foxy denim jumper* “Chemical imbalance” is a hoodwink* The “Come Out of the Dark Campaign” meant to eradicate depression stigma leads to an explosion of SSRI prescriptions* SSRIs and orgasm* The opiate epidemic tracks with the anti-depressant era * “Chemical castration” didn't start with puberty blockers …* 70s-80s Ritalin vogue* Related: Does Ritalin suppress male growth?* Hold up: a link between transitioning genders and SSRIs?* Drinking and depression, a tangled saga* “Headaches are caused by an Advil deficiency”* Beware Wellbutrin* Gothic SSRI withdrawal* “I never boned a cabbie … that I'm aware of.”* That time Sarah went hypomanic …* 1 in 4 American women are on anti-depressants* The hormones and menopause of it all* “Fuck you, person at Whole Foods!”* Big Pharma / Big Food = same playbook, different expression* “Do you bake with yeast?”* WTF with Pol Pot?Plus, boozy cupcakes, a coyote sighting, was Tom Cruise right about pharmaceuticals — and much more!This one's a banger!

1975, küresel çapta bir değişim dönemiydi. Pol Pot soykırımının dehşeti ve Vietnam Savaşı'nın sona ermesi takip ediliyordu. Avustralya'da ise İşçi Partisi'nden Whitlam hükümeti görevden alındı. Aynı zamanda, Avustralya'nın bugün tanık olduğumuz çok kültürlü topluma hızla dönüştüğü dönem başlıyordu. Bu da ülkenin çok dilli yayıncısı SBS'nin doğuşuyla aynı zamana denk geliyordu.
1975 foi um ano marcado por transformações na política global. Foi o período do horror do genocídio promovido por Pol Pot, o fim da Guerra do Vietnã, e, na Austrália, a destituição do governo trabalhista de Gough Whitlam. Também foi uma época em que a Austrália passava por uma rápida transição rumo à sociedade multicultural que conhecemos hoje, marcada pelo nascimento da emissora pública multilíngue do país: a SBS.

In today's episode, we're pulling back the veil on a doctrine that may sound loving, but leads to destruction: universalism. We will define and trace the origins of universalism, expose its ancient heretical roots, and contrast it with the early church's faithful witness. It is hard to believe that this critically damaging heresy (false teaching) gets any traction today, especially with recent historical figures Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Mussolini, but it is rearing its deadly head, and we need to talk about it.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its “wokeness.” In Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left ( MIT Press, 2025), Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

Howard Goldenthal hostingIn the countryside across Cambodia, mass graves known as the killing fields, haunt the landscape. They are reminders of the reign of Pol Pot, one of the 20th century's most violent political leaders. He was the leader of the Khmer Rouge. When they seized power they undertook a radical experiment to create a pure Communist utopia.The plan was called "Year Zero."Pol Pot's communist utopia led to the murder of approximately two million Cambodians. Cities were emptied and citizens were forced into rural labour camps. Only the lucky survived. In Howard Goldenthal's documentary, Year Zero Plus 50, he follows the stories of survivors of that era. For them, the quest for justice remains. Produced by Howard Goldenthal and Joan Webber, originally aired on Sunday Magazine.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit
Pol Pot and his friends are now in charge of Cambodia and in a remarkably short period of time they manage to kill two million people. Including a leftist academic from the UK who thought the Khmer Rouge was rad. Here's how!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Robert continues the story with young Pol Pot's years in France where he and his friends radicalize themselves in what has to have been the deadliest book club of all time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Robert sits down with Andrew Ti for three episodes in one week about the bizarre life of Pol Pot, a man who spent too much time reading books and bullshitting with his friends and for convinced he could save his country by destroying it.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service.

It was the start of a four year reign of terror which resulted in up to two million people being killed. We hear two stories from people affected by the regime. Our guest is journalist and author, Elizabeth Becker. She is one of the foremost authorities on the history of Cambodia, and one of the few westerners to have interviewed Pol Pot.The scientist who invented the white LED lightbulb in 1993 tells his story.Plus, the Bali Nine: young Australians facing the death penalty for drug smuggling and, Spain's historic link to World Book Day.Contributors:Youk Chang – lived through the Khmer Rouge regime Aki Ra - child soldier of Cambodia Elizabeth Becker – journalist and author Professor Shuji Nakamura – inventor of the white LED lightbulb Bishop Tim Harris – friend of one of the Bali Nine families Pere Vicens - book publisher and one of the creators of World Book Day(Photo: The fall of Phnom Penh in 1975.

Avec une nouvelle émission chaque semaine : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Une nouvelle édition revue, actualisée et largement augmentée d'un formidable succès de librairie paru en 2000, et plus que jamais d'actualité. La France, comme tous les pays occidentaux, est une nation intellectuellement et politiquement partagée, mais qui se targue avec fierté d'être une société de liberté. Or, dans le domaine des idées, ce principe reste à démontrer. Car tout se passe comme si un petit milieu, essentiellement parisien et situé au carrefour de la vie intellectuelle et politique et du monde médiatique, s'était donné le pouvoir de dire le bien et le mal, de distribuer des bons et des mauvais points et de décider des sujets qui sont autorisés dans le débat public ou au contraire interdits. Ce même milieu s'est ainsi attribué une sorte de pouvoir de police. De police de la pensée, de police du vocabulaire, de police du comportement, notamment du comportement politique. Ceux qui contreviennent à l'idéologie dominante risquent par conséquent l'injure, l'anathème, le mensonge, l'exclusion sociale, parfois un procès ou, plus grave encore, la menace physique et la pression psychologique. Le phénomène ne date pas d'aujourd'hui. Dans les années 1950, les élites culturelles exaltaient Staline et le paradis soviétique ; dans les années 1960 et 1970, les prodiges de Fidel Castro, de Mao ou de Pol Pot - jusqu'à ce qu'on s'aperçoive que ces dictateurs avaient mis en place un système criminel et totalitaire ; en 1981, elles croyaient quitter la nuit pour la lumière ; dans les années 1990, ces mêmes élites affirmaient que le temps des nations, des familles et des religions était achevé. Depuis les années 2000, le terrorisme intellectuel n'a pas faibli et s'est même aggravé. Témoin, ce tableau de notre vie des idées et de notre vie politique particulièrement édifiant : projet européen dénaturé et détourné quand il devient une machine oublieuse de la personnalité de chaque peuple ; culture de l'excuse qui désarme l'autorité face à l'explosion de la délinquance ; encouragement au communautarisme et développement de l'islamisme ; perte de contrôle de l'immigration ; bouleversements anthropologiques interprétés comme des progrès de la modernité ; censure médiatique et parfois judiciaire à l'égard des opposants à l'idéologie dominante ; wokisme et racialisme d'extrême gauche ; attribution extensive de l'étiquette d'" extrême droite ", qualificatif infamant, à toute personne ou toute pensée dissidente, etc. L'auteur, Jean Sévillia, est notre invité, et il raconte trois quarts de siècle de terrorisme intellectuel : une synthèse indispensable pour ceux qui aiment vraiment la liberté de penser !Distribué par Audiomeans.

The Gaslit Nation Media Committee, a watchdog against access journalism and regime propaganda, has developed this essential guide. We urge all members of the media to reject complicity in the erosion of democracy. The American crisis is a global struggle between democracy and fascism—one that threatens the entire world. Each of us has a role in defending freedom. If you work in media, use this guide to safeguard your integrity, your liberty, and the values we cherish—before it's too late. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 1. Don't Bury the Lede: Call It an Illegal Tech-Backed Coup To build trust, stick to the facts. When Trump's administration acts illegally, say it—especially in the headline. Call it what it is: a tech-backed coup that exposes Americans' most sensitive data and replaces federal workers with unsecured A.I. to establish a new surveillance state. 2. Make Private Prison Execs Famous Investigate the financial interests behind Trump's immigration system—expose executives, board members, and their connections. Pursue them with cameras; they can't hide behind profits while lives are ruined and civil liberties eroded. 3. Fascism Needs Ignorance From dismantling the Department of Education to the “War on Woke” in universities, Trump continues delegitimizing education. This isn't about competition with other countries—it's about giving everyone the chance to grow as independent thinkers who reject fascism. 4. Follow the Money Investigate Trump's major donors and their role in Musk's illegal purge of government services. Hold them accountable—ask how they view their investments amid the chaos. Track their contracts and regulatory benefits. 5. Expose National Security Threats Trump removed key military officials who prevented unlawful actions. Without them, who will stop him? Trump holds the nuclear football, cozying up to adversaries, sending bombs to Israel, and threatening wars against Canada and Greenland. Focus on how our adversaries are taking advantage. 6. Kleptowatch Focus on how companies exploit customers through greedflation and Amazon's payola for search visibility. While the Biden administration has much to answer for, the media must spotlight the absence of enforcement of investigations brought by Lina Khan and Tim Wu, leaving corporate kleptocrats unchecked. 7. Media Must Thoroughly Cover Media Journalists must cover media attacks, including blocked access to info and censorship (e.g., Ann Telnaes at WaPo). Report on media ecosystem shifts, address bias, and clarify distinctions between reporting, opinion, and lies. Provide context on media ownership. 8. Draw Historical Parallels Trump, Musk, and allies are enacting policies similar to dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. The media must challenge their unfounded assertions. They are attacking the press and critics, reminiscent of regimes like Pol Pot's and Rwanda's genocide. 9. Trump is Trying to Turn America into an Autocracy: Act Like It Columbia Journalism Review shared 10 essential tips for journalists reporting from autocracies. Share these with your teams, including your company's lawyers—killing big stories and obeying in advance is self-destructive. 10. Shine a Light on Private Prisons The private prison industry needs scrutiny, especially with Trump's lack of oversight. Innocent people are caught in reckless immigration raids as the system grows unchecked. Regular coverage of Guantanamo Bay is crucial due to its history of unlawful detention and Trump's plan for a prison camp there for 30,000 people. 11. Gilead is Here The media has abandoned calling out Trump's toxic masculinity regarding reproductive rights and civil rights. Raise awareness of the deadly consequences for women, including trans women, and all nonwhite people. 12. Access Journalism is Betrayal Fascism's history includes journalists from major outlets becoming "masters of euphemism," (to quote Gareth Jones), downplaying atrocities and broken laws to protect access. History will remember you for doing your job or being bought. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 13. Family Members Deserve Special Attention Trump's administration is granting lucrative positions to family members of allies and donors, giving them undue influence over policy. These self-dealing networks must be mapped and exposed. 14. Unmask Voter Suppression Election analysis must address gerrymandering, unfair Senate representation favoring "red states," the Electoral College designed to protect elites, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Don't treat our voter suppression crisis like "horse race" politics. 15. Focus on the 1% Expose extreme wealth inequality—how the 1% dodge taxes and exploit loopholes to preserve their wealth. Put a spotlight on how inequality fuels authoritarianism and is a direct threat to democracy. 16. Cover Protests Highlight actions challenging the White House's destructive crimes. People need to see that citizens care about the laws being broken by Trump's administration and that they're not alone. 17. They're Testing Boundaries: Say It When something is "unprecedented," that means they're testing boundaries, to see what they can get away with. Say it. 18. The Weird Fights Matter Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America may seem "weird," but it's part of the fascist pageantry, like Mussolini's famous eyeliner and Putin's shirtless photos. Look to experts in autocracy to see which stories are being used as a distraction and which stories are important to cover.

The communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on April 17, 1975. Radha Manickam, a new Christian, watched them arrive from the balcony of his parents' apartment. It was Radha's first exposure to the Khmer Rouge. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, led the most violent and brutal government in modern history. In its doomed attempt to create an agrarian utopia, between 1975 and 1979 Pol Pot's regime murdered over 1.7 million people. Many were beaten to death or executed. Others starved to death or died of fatigue or some wretched disease. Mao and Stalin's Communist regimes killed far more people. But no other government has destroyed nearly a quarter of its own citizens.Today Pol Pot is largely forgotten. But he and the Khmer Rouge are well worth remembering. Because the ideas that formed the Khmer Rouge are still with us today. Also worth remembering are the stories of those who survived. People like Radha Manickam. We'll be telling his story over the next three episodes. It is in many ways a brutal story. One of loss and grief and terror. But it's also a story of hope and grace. And ultimately, redemption.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book and this series are titled “Intended for Evil” by Les Sillars.Audio from:The Associated PressNBC NewsABC NewsSupport WORLD News Group at wng.org/donate
