John Pilger: What “Change” In America Really Means约翰皮尔格:什么“变”在美国的真正意义 Thursday, November 13th, 2008 星期四, 08年十一月13日 By John Pilger |由约翰皮尔格| My first visit to Texas was in 1968, on the fifth anniversary of the assassination of president John F Kennedy in Dallas.我第一次访问美国是在1968年,在五周年之际暗杀总统约翰肯尼迪在达拉斯。 I drove south, following the line of telegraph poles to the small town of Midlothian, where I met Penn Jones Jr, editor of the Midlothian Mirror.我开车南部,以下线的电线杆的小城镇中洛锡安,我在那里会见了潘琼斯二世的编辑中洛锡安镜。 Except for his drawl and fine boots, everything about Penn was the antithesis of the Texas stereotype.除了他的拉长和罚款靴子,一切是宾州的对立面德州刻板印象。 Having exposed the racists of the John Birch Society, his printing press had been repeatedly firebombed.在暴露了种族主义者的约翰伯奇协会,他的印刷厂已一再燃烧弹。 Week after week, he painstakingly assembled evidence that all but demolished the official version of Kennedy’s murder.一周,他精心组装的证据表明,拆除所有,但正式版本的肯尼迪的谋杀案。 This was journalism as it had been before corporate journalism was invented, before the first schools of journalism were set up and a mythology of liberal neutrality was spun around those whose “professionalism” and “objectivity” carried an unspoken obligation to ensure that news and opinion were in tune with an establishment consensus, regardless of the truth.这是新闻,因为它已经在企业的新闻被发明之前,第一次新闻学院设立和神话的自由中立纺周围那些“专业”和“客观”进行了潜义务,以确保新闻和意见在调整与建立共识,不管事实真相。 Journalists such as Penn Jones, independent of vested power, indefatigable and principled, often reflect ordinary American attitudes, which have seldom conformed to the stereotypes promoted by the corporate media on both sides of the Atlantic.记者如宾夕法尼亚琼斯,独立的既得利益力量,不知疲倦的和有原则的,往往反映了普通美国人的态度,很少有符合定型促进企业媒体对大西洋两岸的。 Read American Dreams: Lost and Found by the masterly Studs Terkel, who died the other day, or scan the surveys that unerringly attribute enlightened views to a majority who believe that “government should care for those who cannot care for themselves” and are prepared to pay higher taxes for universal health care, who support nuclear disarmament and want their troops out of other people’s countries.读美国梦:失物招领的巧妙螺栓特克尔,谁死在另一天,或扫描的调查, unerringly属性开明的意见,多数谁认为, “政府应该照顾谁可以不照顾自己” ,并准备支付更高的税,全民保健,谁支持核裁军和希望自己的军队,其他人的国家。 Returning to Texas, I am struck again by those so unlike the redneck stereotype, in spite of the burden of a form of brainwashing placed on most Americans from a tender age: that theirs is the most superior society in the history of the world, and all means are justified, including the spilling of copious blood, in maintaining that superiority.返回得克萨斯州,我再次通过这些所谓不同的redneck刻板印象,尽管负担的一种形式的洗脑放在大多数美国人从一个年幼:即他们是最优良的社会历史中的世界,所有的手段是合理的,其中包括泄漏的大量血液,保持该优势。 That is the subtext of Barack Obama’s “oratory”.这是潜台词奥巴马的“演讲” 。 He says he wants to build up US military power; and he threatens to ignite a new war in Pakistan, killing yet more brown-skinned people.他说,他希望建立美国的军事实力,他有可能引发一场新的战争,巴基斯坦,造成了更多的棕色皮肤的人。 That will bring tears, too.这将带来眼泪,太多。 Unlike those on election night, these other tears will be unseen in Chicago and London.不同于那些大选之夜,这些泪水将看不见在芝加哥和伦敦。 This is not to doubt the sincerity of much of the response to Obama’s election, which happened not because of the unction that has passed for news reporting from America since 4 November (eg “liberal Americans smiled and the world smiled with them”) but for the same reasons that millions of angry emails were sent to the White House and Congress when the “bailout” of Wall Street was revealed, and because most Americans are fed up with war.这不是怀疑的诚意很大的反应奥巴马的选举,这并不是因为发生的油膏已通过新闻报道来自美国自11月4日(如“自由的美国人微笑着和世界的微笑着与他们” )但出于同样的原因,数以百万计的愤怒的电子邮件被送往白宫和国会在“拯救”华尔街发现,因为大多数美国人厌倦了战争。 Two years ago, this anti-war vote installed a Democratic majority in Congress, only to watch the Democrats hand over more money to George W Bush to continue his blood fest.两年前,这个反战表决安装了民主多数议员的支持,只有看民主党交出更多的钱乔治W布什继续他的血液节。 For his part, the “anti-war” Obama never said the illegal invasion of Iraq was wrong, merely that it was a “mistake”.对于他而言, “反战”奥巴马从来没有说过的非法入侵伊拉克是错误的,只是这是一个“错误” 。 Thereafter, he voted in to give Bush what he wanted.此后,他投给布什自己想要什么。 Yes, Obama’s election is historic, a symbol of great change to many.是的,奥巴马的选举是历史性的,象征着巨大的变化很多。 But it is equally true that the American elite has grown adept at using the black middle and management class.但它也同样如此,美国的精英成长善于使用黑色中等和管理类。 The courageous Martin Luther King recognised this when he linked the human rights of black Americans with the human rights of the Vietnamese, then being slaughtered by a liberal Democratic administration.勇敢的马丁路德金承认这一点,他联系的人权;黑人与人权的越南,然后被杀害了一个自由民主管理。 And he was shot.他被枪杀。 In striking contrast, a young black major serving in Vietnam, Colin Powell, was used to “investigate” and whitewash the infamous My Lai massacre.在鲜明的对比,一个年轻的黑人主要服务于越南,国务卿鲍威尔,被用来“调查”和粉饰臭名昭著的美莱村大屠杀。 As Bush’s secretary of state, Powell was often described as a “liberal” and was considered ideal to lie to the United Nations about Iraq’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction.正如布什的国务卿,鲍威尔是经常被描述为一个“自由” ,被视为理想在于联合国对伊拉克不存在大规模杀伤性武器。 Condaleezza Rice, lauded as a successful black woman, has worked assiduously to deny the Palestinians justice. Condaleezza水稻,赞扬作为一个成功的黑人女性,一直在刻苦否认巴勒斯坦人的正义。 Obama’s first two crucial appointments represent a denial of the wishes of his supporters on the principal issues on which they voted.奥巴马的头两个关键任用代表拒绝的愿望他的支持者的主要问题是,他们投了票。 The vice-president-elect, Joe Biden, is a proud warmaker and Zionist.副总统当选人,拜登,是一个值得骄傲的warmaker和犹太复国主义。 Rahm Emanuel, who is to be the all-important White House chief of staff, is a fervent “neoliberal” devoted to the doctrine that led to the present economic collapse and impoverishment of millions.拉姆伊曼纽尔,是谁的是所有重要的白宫幕僚长,是一个热切“新自由主义”专门理论,导致了当前的经济崩溃和贫困的数以百万计。 He is also an “Israel-first” Zionist who served in the Israeli army and opposes meaningful justice for the Palestinians – an injustice that is at the root of Muslim people’s loathing of the United States and the spawning of jihadism.他也是一个“以色列第一”犹太复国主义者谁担任以色列军队和有意义的正义反对对巴勒斯坦人-一个不公正的根源是穆斯林人的厌恶美国的产卵场和圣战主义。 No serious scrutiny of this is permitted within the histrionics of Obamamania, just as no serious scrutiny of the betrayal of the majority of black South Africans was permitted within the “Mandela moment”.没有认真的审查,这是允许的范围内表演的Obamamania ,就像没有认真审查的背叛,大多数南非黑人被允许在“曼德拉的时刻” 。 This is especially marked in Britain, where America’s divine right to “lead” is important to elite British interests.这一点尤其显着英国,美国的神圣权利,以“领导”重要的是英国精英的利益。 The once respected Observer newspaper, which supported Bush’s war in Iraq, echoing his fabricated evidence, now announces, without evidence, that “America has restored the world’s faith in its ideals”.曾经观察家报尊重,支持布什的伊拉克战争,呼应他捏造的证据,现在宣布,没有证据说, “美国已恢复了世界上信仰的理想。 ” These “ideals”, which Obama will swear to uphold, have overseen, since 1945, the destruction of 50 governments, including democracies, and 30 popular liberation movements, causing the deaths of countless men, women and children.这些“理想” ,这将宣誓奥巴马坚持,有监督,自1945年以来,销毁50个国家政府,包括民主,和30流行的解放运动,造成无数人死亡的男人,妇女和儿童。 None of this was uttered during the election campaign.这一切都不是的话在竞选期间。 Had it been allowed, there might even have been recognition that liberalism as a narrow, supremely arrogant, war-making ideology is destroying liberalism as a reality.如果它被允许,甚至有可能已经认识到,自由主义作为一个狭隘的,极端傲慢的,战争的决策思想是摧毁自由主义作为一个现实。 Prior to Blair’s criminal warmaking, ideology was denied by him and his media mystics.之前,布莱尔的刑事战争,意识形态被剥夺了他和他的媒体神秘。 “Blair can be a beacon to the world,” declared the Guardian in 1997. “布莱尔可以是一个灯塔的世界” ,宣布卫于1997年。 “[He is] turning leadership into an art form.” “ [他]转折点领导到一种艺术形式。 ” Today, merely insert “Obama”.今天,仅仅插入“奥巴马” 。 As for historic moments, there is another that has gone unreported but is well under way – liberal democracy’s shift towards a corporate dictatorship, managed by people regardless of ethnicity, with the media as its clichéd façade.至于历史性时刻,还有一个是已经没有,但工作正在顺利进行-自由民主的转向企业的独裁统治,管理的人不论种族,与新闻媒体作为其陈词滥调门面。 “True democracy,” wrote Penn Jones Jr, the Texas truth-teller, “is constant vigilance: not thinking the way you’re meant to think and keeping your eyes wide open at all times.” “真正的民主,写道: ”小琼斯宾州,德州真相出纳员“ ,是时时警惕:没有想到的方式意味着你想保持你睁大眼睛在任何时候。 ” Have Your Say: John Pilger: What “Change” In America Really Means 你说:约翰皮尔格:什么“变”在美国的真正意义 Please read our请仔细阅读我们的 posting guidelines before posting张贴在发布前的指导方针 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以讨论这份报告在这里 . 。 Related News 相关新闻
