You know, all that you get out of the American “news” is manipulation, and fear mongering. Meanwhile the rest of the world continues to live, exist and prosper. One of those nations is Cambodia. It is a pretty poor nation, but it is growing.
Americans (and Europeans) might have noticed a “blip” on the media last year when Cambodia refuted all efforts by Mike Pompeo to absorb it into the American proxy military sphere. They wanted no part of that. Not only did they say so, but they bulldozed all the structures that the United States built for the nation as a symbol of “good will”. As well as capturing and ejecting the NGO “regime change” forces that were mobilizing to cause strife and discord.
Cambodia wants no part of that.
And it was a top-down decision.
Cambodia is next door to China, and China wants to help them develop. In the eyes of China, it is in their advantage to be surrounded by prosperity and happiness. When nations and people are happy and prosperous, there isn’t strife or conflict. Which is the exact opposite of what the United States has been doing over the last 75 years.
What an idea!
Surround yourself with good healthy societies, and then you interact and trade with them. Let them live their lives as they see fit.
Imagine that!
Here’s some short movie clips taken by a Chinese man (and his family) living in Cambodia. It is part of a private security force that attends important Cambodian officials. You will see scenes from city life, rural life, social life, and work life in the clips. You will also notice that Cambodia uses American currency, and that the country is very, very poor.
You will also note that these clips are banned in the United States for some unknown reason. The American version of Tictok has banned this and some other sites from Cambodia.
I have no clue as to why.
I hope that watching these clips helps give you, the reader, an appreciation of other nations, other cultures and other ways of life. And no, it’s not at all like America. And perhaps that’s a good thing, don’t you know.

Conclusion
This was a little excursion out of the main stream media echo chamber and narrative. Never paid too much attention to Cambodia, eh? Well, that’s the way it is. There are all sorts of places all over the globe living life. These places live outside of the narrative of fear and manipulation.
So, in this instance, turn off the “news” about Afghanistan and how the world is collapsing in that section of the world. It isn’t. The American military presence left and they are sorting out the vacuum left behind. And I’ll tell you this, they want to be recognized as a stable and productive nation. Not an outlier.
So don’t believe the “news”. Look around you. Look at what is going on elsewhere. Pay attention to things the media is not reporting on.
Smile.

Great stuff MM!
I am looking forward to visiting Cambodia when this damned pandemic is over.
Thank you for that. I think we all need to see what other gems, jewels and nuggets of gold lies around us. Cambodia looks to be a fine place. Not glitzy or exciting. Just calm with some really deep and colorful culture. I too would like to visit it once the Pandemic ends.
We, in the ununited states of America, are unhappy.
24/7 we are inundated with “news” and it is all bad news.
The level of division sewn, is in all the sectors, being primed
and fueled. It is really such a shame/life is short and time
is limited. The provocateurs are doing their best to pit the
people against each other and trash other nations.
Gratefully, some of us can block this bad propaganda
to an extent. I wish everyone would throw their smart
phones into the trash…yet people are still enthralled
with them, freak when they forget them at home. Social
media/what is that?/ and text messages remain paramount.
Skies are milky as particulates rain down. What is it?
Stupid dust. I see people, gadgets in hand, defining
their existence, not even looking around at their own world.
This is all very sad: division v. cooperation.
Suzanna dear, there is still a remnant of those untethered to the devices of control and manipulation. Take heart and be happy. We all choose our own path. Certainly, at some point, these paths converge, according the choices. I hope these words find you with a smile on your face. OG
I noticed the water in the state parks and other area swim holes were quite clean and clear. Even our local water holes aren’t that clean. Seems Cambodia is adopting country line dancing. What’s old is new again.
