For three years the newspapers and television have presented the Kampuchean goverament as a bloody regime that has "massa- cred" from one to three million Kampucheans. But a great amount of evidence has shown that the whole slander campaign was fabricated by US imperialism, and then taken up by the Soviet and Vietnamese invaders. Many press reports take the figure of 1.2 million dead from Cambodge Année zéro, a book by a French priest, François Ponchaud. But where did Ponchaud get his information? Straight from the US embassy in Thailand – undoubtedly a most reliable source. Faked atrocity pictures, like the one showing a peasant beaten to death, have been published everywhere. But the Bangkok Post revealed April 9, 1976 that they had been staged in Thailand by a Thai intelligence officer. Among the most quoted sources are the stories of Kampu- chean refugees in Thailand. The New York Times, hardly a pro-communist newspaper, reported: "The genocide myth is being fabricated by an organization working outside of Bangkok

REVOLT GUERRILLA BEGINS On March 18, 1970, Cambodian Prime Minister, Lon Nol, surrounded the National Assembly with troops and forced the MPs to agree to dismissing Prince Sihanouk as Head of State. Sihanouk was at the time in Peking, after leaving Cambodia on January 4, for medical treatment in France. On March 11, rightwing mobs had sacked the embassies of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam. Sihanouk had warned then that these attacks were preparing for a rightist coup. However, at the same time, he went to Moscow and Peking to press those governments to force the PRG to withdraw its forces allegedly in Cambodian sanctuaries. Prince Sihanouk, however, quickly estimated the new. The guerrilla revolt commenced at the end of 1967, and by December 1968 the Khmer Rouge were active in 11 of the country's 19 provinces. By June 1969 they had a reported 1,500 under arms, while Hu Nim was said to be leading a guerrilla band of 50 to 100 guerrillas south-west of Phnom Penh. The Khmer Rouge carried out government and police posts, while concentrating on building support among the peasantry. They avoided frontal attacks on Sihanouk and concentrated their fire on Lon Nol and the rightists. It was this guerrilla force, already fighting for over two years, that accounted for the rapid successes the liberation forces gained after March 18, 1970.

Backed by Soviet and Warsaw Pact advisors and pilots, the invading forces have penetrated deep into Kampuchea, taking control of Phnom Penh and several other major towns. The Vietnamese military im- mediately set up a puppet go- vernment made up of a handful of unknowns claiming to be Kampuchean but whose past appears to be a total fabrication. The KNUFNS (Kampuchean National United Front for Na- tional Salvation) was immedia- tely recognized by the USSR and several Warsaw Pact countries, as well as Ethiopia and Afgha- nistan, two countries under Moscow's thumb. A few hours before Phnom Penh was invaded, Prime Mi- nister Pol Pot delivered a radio demned this brazen attack and invasion of a sovereign socialist country. China has denounced Vietnam's war of aggression, aided and abetted by the Soviet social-imperialists, and mised full support to the struggle of isolating them. "Vietnam will never take Kampuchea", he said, "we won't let them do it."
