Interesting item on Cambodia where the women are now throwing acid in
the faces of their husband's mistresses and needless to say the results
reminded me of the newsman, Vicitor Reisel whom Johnny Dio as I recall
was the name, a cheap hoodlum, threw acide in the face of Reisal who was
exposing corruption in the Union in his column........
So you think maybe the Eastern Star has a little society in Cambodia -
for I pulled up Eastern Star in Cambodia and up came this story on its
Free Press.
Not many people realized, that Jackie Kennedy if she was not CIA, was
used by CIA during the Viet Nam War - for she went to Cambodia,but where
she went, the press followed - as it was the Cambodian Prince then
called her "a Courtesan" but he may as well have said, spy but most
certainly even in times of despair, she was still a loyal American. So
much for Prince of Cambodia.
Today these women in Cambodia using acide to destroy the faces of their
husband mistresses - this seems to me, to be a bit let us say,
organized?
Oh so - when I put Eastern Star in Cambodia this came up - for I have
seen these little busy bees in their hives who when in their coven - let
us say lead dual lives and run home few wayward husbands? So who
called Mrs. Condit - was it Chandra or did anybody check her telephone
records for her visit was oh so timely, and it appears when the heat was
on Condit hid behind his wife's skirt and she does not seem to mind -
her picture showed a beautiful lady with blonde hair but no doubt,
getting older as does everybody.
So what was that Old Fox Condit up to in Chandra's last days and who did
his dirty work for him?

Luke 13...
"30": And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are
first which shall be last.
"31": The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
"32": And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast
out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I
shall be perfected.
"33": Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day
following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
"34": O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest
them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy
children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and
ye would not!
"35": Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say
unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

The state of press freedom in Cambodia improved in 1999. Privately owned
media have taken advantage of the country's new-found political
stability following the surrender of the remaining Khmers Rouges
strongholds and an easing of the conflict between supporters of prime
minister Hun Sen and those of Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
The government decided in September 1999 to invest the equivalent of a
million euros in extending the area covered by state television to the
whole country. At the moment, two-thirds of Cambodians can only pick up
foreign channels: people in the north and west get their news from Thai
radio and television while those in eastern and central Cambodia receive
Vietnamese programmes.
The government also wants to restrict the broadcasting of foreign
channels because, in the words of the official jargon, they �distort
Khmer culture�.
Information minister Lou Laysreng warned television crews on 28 June
that they would be banned from entering parliament if they continued to
broadcast film of members dozing during debates. �It gives a bad image
of the country and it's insulting to parliament�, he explained.
On 15 September the secretary of state for information, Oum arawuth,
said that the anti-royalist newspaper Sathearnakroath (Republican News)
would be suspended for a month because of two articles regarded as
disrespectful towards the king. The newspaper had described the king as
an �old fox� - a reference to his long political career. A few days
later the newspaper's editor, Lim Rattana, and his wife narrowly escaped
death in a grenade attack.
An adviser to prime minister Hun Sen said on 25 November that he was
planning to start legal proceedings against the French news magazine
L'Express. In its 7 October issue, the weekly had accused Hun Sen's wife
of ordering the murder of a well-known actress.
L'Express based its allegations on what it claimed were extracts from
the star's diary, which purportedly showed that the prime minister's
wife had reason to be jealous of her.
Mrs Hun Sen accused the magazine of �political ulterior motives� and
claimed it was being manipulated by an opposition politician, Sam
Rainsy.For furter information, please contact the desk
Saba Note: And now those interested if any who have gotten this far
under subject matter see the work of malicious Cambodian women - now
these are women with contacts - who can call in a Black Pullet from the
East if they so desired, but this banning together of the Eastern Stars
- wonder if Mrs. Condit is an Eastern Star for I think that whole family
is suspect - evil is as evil does......and just how sick is this woman?

Vengeance Destroys Faces, and Souls, in Cambodia
By SETH MYDANS
Som Rasmey was a poor young woman serving drinks at a restaurant when
her life was transformed by the attention of a powerful military man,
Col. Lim Sok Heng (with her above).
Seth Mydans/ The New York Times
An acid attack by the colonel's wife 20 months ago left Miss Som Rasmey
with disfiguring scars and without her infant daughter, who was taken by
the colonel and his wife.
HNOM PENH, Cambodia � It is a form of revenge that is intended to be
worse than murder. Every time the victim looks into the mirror she will
know: I am ugly now.
The fleeting smile of Som Rasmey is still disconcertingly beautiful. But
her face is ribbed and ruined by acid, her left eye red and staring, her
burned scalp barren.
After the screaming, thrashing attack 20 months ago the scorned wife who
drenched her with acid, Minh Rinath, returned to make the message
explicit. "He is mine now," she said.
"He will never want you again."
Miss Som Rasmey, who is now 24, had a particular kind of beauty �
lustrous, proud, the kind that could be as intimidating as it was
alluring.
The attack, in which three other women held her down by her arms and
legs and hair, has not only robbed her of her looks; it has crushed her
soul.
"I have the soul of a dead woman now," she said as tears streamed down
her face. "My body is alive but my soul is dead."
In the past two years, there has been a horrific surge in acid attacks
in Cambodia, most of them carried out � in contrast to places like
Bangladesh � by wives against the lovers of their husbands. One local
human rights group, Licadho, recorded 20 such attacks last year in a
sort of imitative mass hysteria.
"The wife does not want you to die," said Maniline Ek, an American
volunteer at a women's shelter here. "They want you to live and suffer.
It's torture. People look at your face and they say, `Oh, she took
someone else�s husband.� "
These are battles among the oppressed, the harsh intersection of mutual
tragedies � woman against woman. In Cambodia, power belongs almost
exclusively to men. The philandering husbands are almost never the
targets of attack.
A local women's aid group, the Cambodian Women's Crisis Center, recorded
only one instance last year in which a husband was the target. And it
was the only instance in which the attacker was tried and punished.
It is common in Cambodia for men � particularly men of power � to
take an unofficial second wife. The betrayal of the official wife is so
familiar that popular songs have been written about it. (Saba Note: It
is said Masonry is still underground in CAMBODIA now)
"Our society does not condemn the men," said the director of the crisis
center, Chanthol Oung. "It feels their behavior is acceptable."
The most highly publicized attack was carried out in late 1999 by a
woman named Khourn Sophal, the wife of Svay Sittha, under secretary of
state at the Council of Ministers.
The victim, an 18-year-old actress and singer named Tat Marina, was
horribly disfigured when the woman and several bodyguards poured about
five quarts of acid over her.
A government spokesman, Khieu Thavika, described the attack as a
personal matter "for the first and second wife to resolve." Although
charges have been brought against Mrs. Khourn Sophal, no move has been
made to arrest her. Relatives of her victim say Mrs. Khourn Sophal
telephones periodically to insult the young woman.
Three years ago, the wife of an even higher official was implicated in
the shooting death of Cambodia's most popular singer, Piseth Pilika.
That official is the prime minister himself, Hun Sen. No one has been
arrested or charged in that attack.
Typically, the girlfriends or second wives of powerful men are poor
young women who have little but beauty to offer them hope or prospects
for the future. And when that leads to conflict, they are powerless.
At the age of 15, Miss Som Rasmey dropped out of school to earn money
for her family by selling coconuts, cigarettes and gasoline at the
roadside. Three years ago she graduated to serving drinks at a
restaurant.
Like many other young women who serve drinks, she soon attracted a
patron, a powerful military colonel named Lim Sok Heng. Her life was
transformed: beautiful clothes, holidays at the beach, even a trip to
Hong Kong. And then a baby.
With time, Miss Som Rasmey said, she grew frightened by the colonel's
brutality and by increasing threats from his wife. She tried to leave
him but he imprisoned her in a small house under constant guard.
His obsession with her must have driven his wife mad. When at last she
attacked, she was raging.
"I'll throw the acid now!" she shouted as her friends pinned her victim
to the floor. Miss Som Rasmey had been nursing her 7-month- old daughter
and had just time enough to toss her out of the way. (Saba Note: A
combined effort but were these really your little Eastern Stars in
action)
Her lips tighten as she describes what followed and her speech is
clipped and angry.
"She emptied a bottle over my head," she said.
"Then another half bottle. I was burning all over. I struggled and I
tried to break free. I ran into the yard and she ran after me. She had
one more bottle and she wanted to throw it. She was shouting, and I was
shouting, `I�m burning; please help me.� "
The attack ended when a group of neighbors surrounded Mrs. Minh Rinath
with hatchets in their hands.
As they heaved Miss Som Rasmey onto a pallet to rush her to a hospital,
she could hear her little girl screaming, the last time she would hear
the baby's voice. After the attack, Colonel Lim Sok Heng and his wife
took the baby home and Miss Som Rasmey cannot be sure whether she is now
alive or dead.
Following the attack, the colonel seized Miss Som Rasmey from the
hospital and imprisoned her again, this time in Vietnam, for fear she
would make trouble. Six months later, she escaped and returned to her
home, so disfigured that at first her family did not recognize her.
Her anger has not subsided. Miss Som Rasmey is the first victim to
pursue her attacker in court, demanding compensation and the return of
her child.
And it is here that the fundamental law of Cambodia asserted itself:
impunity. Cambodian courts consistently bow to the power of position and
the persuasion of cash.
As Miss Som Rasmey put it: "The rich and the poor are completely
different. Prison is only for poor people. But people like Lim Sok Heng
and his wife can do whatever they want and get away with it."
At the trial last fall, the judge, Tith Sothy, displayed impatience with
Miss Som Rasmey, cutting her off and ordering her not to waste his time
"talking about romance."
But he was not an unsympathetic man. He could see who had been wronged
here. The scorned wife, he said, had acted out of understandable
feelings of jealousy.
The judge dismissed Miss Som Rasmey's demand for the return of her
child. He sentenced her attacker, Mrs. Minh Rinath, to two years in
prison for misdemeanor assault, suspended.

SABA NOTE: Think Americans really understand the Asian Mind? Just
before Viet Nam Leader assassinated and JFK still lived, his wife said
"you Americans do not understand the Asian mind"......then JFK, was
dead......an alleged great Chinese Poet was a lesbian so you see must
America adapt to ways of world to appease the savage beasts?
