The Lost Executioner by Nic Dunlop

A Phnom Penh tribunal is hearing the case against Duch, the Khmer Rouge warden of the notorious S-21 prison. This ex-school had been used by Angkha to interrogate Khmer Rouge cadres accused of betraying the people. 20,000 passed through the gates. Most were subject to months of torture and then transported to the killing field of Choueng Ek. Only 7 prisoners survived the onslaught and in Nic Dunlop's THE LOST EXECUTIONER the photographer tells of first viewing the faces of the 'smashed dogs' on the prison walls in 1989. He was only 20. Their ghostly gazes sent him on a long search for the executioner of Tuol Sleng.

"He was a good boy." says a family member.

People said the same of Jeffery Dahlmer, an American mass-murderer.

Duch's path to horror sheds a new light on the 'year zero' in Cambodia through the words of ex-Khmer Rouge commanders, Cambodian survivors, and in the end Duch himself, who had converted to Christianity and served the people of his village in atonement for his sins. He admits his guilt without confessing his sins.

Anyone going to Cambodia should read THE LOST EXECUTIONER as well as Francoise Bizot's THE GATE to understand the heart of darkness lurking within us all.

"We are all Duch."

2008 Chinese Cocaine War

When the Celestial Kingdom traded with the seafaring nations in the 19th Century, the goods of Europe had little appeal to the Chinese public and the merchants demanded silver or gold for their silks, teas, and china. It wasn’t until the British introduced opium that this imbalance of trade shifted in favor of the UK.

The US is in the same position of the British. We have nothing the Chinese want, mostly because we make nothing anymore. The only solution is to repeat history and legalize cocaine for trans-shipment to China. A nation of a billion. Maybe 100 million would become users. At $5 a day that’s $15 billion a month.

The only other option is to sell fat American girls to Chinese men, who outnumber females by 100 million thanks to China’s one-child policy.

Even better sell cocaine and fat girls.

Think of it as one big fat farm for American females.

Fat Farm China

Jocko Weyland thought this was a good idea, but expressed reservation.

“Though I disagree with your premise– ‘We’ do have something the Chinese want. They’re called ‘Ideas’. They don’t have those here.”

Jocko’s not half wrong, but I’ve been in the USA four months and the only good idea I’ve heard in that time was Midget Golf.

Last evening Joey I visited the Kit Kat Club on Belvedere. The strip club has a 2-4-1 Happy Hour.

“You want a lap dance.” Vera asked waggling her flapjack breasts.

“No thanks.” My back couldn’t handle Vera. She weighs about 260 and smelled of big woman sweat.

“You know Vera’s a good candidate for Fat Farm China.”

“What’s that?” Vera had failed Jenny Craig 12 times.

I explained about shipping cocaine to China along with fat girls to save the American economy.

“You we get to do blow?”

“Why not?” I hadn’t thought about that aspect.

“Then where do I sign up?” Vera recruited three other strippers from the Kit Kat. They’re big girls there.

The Olympic Freedom of No-Speech

10 days into the Olympics and the Chinese authorities have yet to allow a protest in the sanctioned areas for dissent. No word about Tibet. No word about organ-harvesting. No word about corruption. No word about the earthquake. No word about government officials selling commune land for a profit.

Although Yahoo Sports News reports that the US Swimmer Michael Phelps will celebrate his skein of 8 gold medals by going on a fast food binge.

Another example of free speech for the fearless news media of Yahoo.

August 23, 2008 Thai Madness

Someone please explain the significance of Aug. 23, 2008. For it’s on that day that Thailand’s esteemed government officials have decided to lose their minds and turn the entire country upside down.

The ghost goes on a tirade about the Thai government enforcing a 30-minute change in time. He had misread the announcement, but the regime still wants everyone in Thailand to be on the same time wave.

Even rice farmers in Ban Nok.

Me, I haven't worn a watch for years.

Fearless

I want to be an Israeli - Huckabee

"We are all Georgians."

Ex-governor Huckabee of Arkansas reacted to John McCain's transforming every American into an illegal alien by professing that he was more scared to walk the streets of America with 300 million new illegals than to stroll around Israel.

"I felt more fear in American cities. I can walk down the streets of Tel Aviv at night without a problem. But I, of course, have the knowledge of which places not to go at night, just like any other city in America."

Last night Anna, my new Brazilian friend, was driving me home from Cucina. She's 29 and skinny. We're just friends. It was 11pm. Not a single person was on the street and I understood why Huckabee is afraid of America. At night it resembles the beginning of a zombie movie.

The Land of the Freaked.

By the way Huckabee, "Hapes mi yenanea otha."

Hebrew for 'go find yourself someone to jerk you off', which is probably what he was doing late at night in Tel Aviv. I hope he brings kleenix to wipe his hands.

The Fay Arriveth

At 10am I was standing on the terrace of 137 King's Road. Slashing veins of lightning probed the black overcast. Thunder reverberated from every direction. The wind bullied the palm trees into submission. Tropical Depression Fay Wray was introducing herself to Palm Beach and I thought, "This will be interesting."

No.

The rain abated without warning and I wandered over the the beach.

The ocean is calm.

My friends say don't be fooled by this weather.

The worst is yet to come.
