Communists have always sought to cover up the crimes of communism. It started in Ukraine in the 1930s, when New York Times commie-symp reporter Walter Duranty covered up the man-made mass starvation in that part of the Soviet Union, and it's continued today in Venezuela with dictator Nicolás Maduro forbidding photos of empty store shelves and refusing to permit aid to the country's starving people, for fear of the truth getting out. National Socialists are at least as zealous in seeking to cover up the truth about their Holocaust against the Jews.
So I stare, appalled, as Facebook has been caught censoring the images of the Cambodian holocaust presented by GOP congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng of the Central Valley in a video that can be seen here.
National Review has a detailed story.
Heng's family's origins were in the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime. It just happens to be part of her personal story, and she most certainly has a right to tell it.
What's more, she's a fresh, able, and interesting candidate, a young Asian-American Republican who represents what the Central Valley really is, and campaigns as her district stands battered by leftists from the Bay Area. Heng is a protégé of Rep. Ed Royce, the congressman from SoCal who we wish wouldn't retire, and it's significant that Royce has supported her (along with his successful designated successor, Young Kim) in her quest for that seat against political hack Jim Costa, who I argued exchanged his vote for water for his district for his Obamacare vote. Obviously, Royce knows how to spot talent. Costa ought to be thrown out by voters for that one.
So censoring her story on Facebook is incredible, redolent of other leftist efforts to erase history.

So when’s the big mouths in Congress going after this attack on the 1st Amendment??
Sometimes you have to think it’s because Facebook hires a bunch of clueless twenty-somethings to run the day-to-day censorship operation.
“...Communists have always sought to cover up the crimes of communism....”
Exactly what is going on. These liberal freaks are self destructive and toxic for the American Republic.
Clueless twenty-something indentured servants from India who are afraid of not reflecting their bosses’ political biases.
I can imagine a scenario where FB sees the images as a smear tactic.
The “clueless twenty-somethings” probably saw her ad and said “OMG. Like, this totally never happened, or whatever. She’s saying bad things about this little Asian country, or something. Ugh.”
A socialist believes that socialism can work if only the “right people” are in charge. And enough people are murdered in death camps.
they will not allow gross images. I have not seen the images in question so I can’t form an opinion on their judgement.
Many Cambodians were trained to operate donut shops after they landed here in the USA.
Their stories are chilling.
It’s almost like fecebook filters news because the average American citizen is too dense to tell fake from real.
At least for the left half of the citizenry, they are correct.
Maybe she should post a link to the movie “The Killing Fields.” After all, it is a Hollywood production. Would that make it FB acceptable or is inconvenient history just too old for FB?
Didn’t Fakebook ban that immortal image of the Vietnamese girl running naked after a napalm bombing?
I know they banned part of the US Constitution.
Petty authoritative tyrants.
Maybe Zuck should just buy a condo in D.C. Looks like he will be heading back there a lot.
Heard about her on Rush. As I see it none of our candidates should lack for money. Ms. Heng’s candidacy is quite a statement for all of us. I’ll send her a few bucks to raise her profile.
This young conservative woman has had trouble getting the RNCC to help fund her campaign. It is a woman such as this that the GOO should be highlighting as the face of the future. The GOP response to Ocasio Cortez. But no...she does not fit the paradigm of a GOP congressperson...out to gain access to the perks of the Acela Corridor and eager to forget the wants and needs of the citizens who voted for him.
I think this is the time when Trump should put up some of his own money and open alternative youtube, twitter etc... type programs with a promise of free and unfettered speech.
trumptube.com!
Yep; time for the law to step in and shut this FB farce down.
I think it’s time to throw these traitors to the Republic in prison. This is an obvious attack on the 1st Amendment. How long until Free Republic is shut down?
Very few know what the 1st Amendment is anymore nor could they recite the freedoms thereof. Communist infiltrated American Educational System: mission accomplished.
