John Pilger: What “Change” In America Really Means約翰皮爾格:什麼“變”在美國的真正意義 Thursday, November 13th, 2008 星期四, 08年十一月13日 By John Pilger |由約翰皮爾格| My first visit to Texas was in 1968, on the fifth anniversary of the assassination of president John F Kennedy in Dallas.我第一次訪問美國是在1968年,在五週年之際暗殺總統約翰肯尼迪在達拉斯。 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.我開車南部,以下線的電線桿的小城鎮中洛錫安,我在那裡會見了潘瓊斯二世的編輯中洛錫安鏡。 Except for his drawl and fine boots, everything about Penn was the antithesis of the Texas stereotype.除了他的拉長和罰款靴子,一切是賓州的對立面德州刻板印象。 Having exposed the racists of the John Birch Society, his printing press had been repeatedly firebombed.在暴露了種族主義者的約翰伯奇協會,他的印刷廠已一再燃燒彈。 Week after week, he painstakingly assembled evidence that all but demolished the official version of Kennedy’s murder.一周,他精心組裝的證據表明,拆除所有,但正式版本的肯尼迪的謀殺案。 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.這是新聞,因為它已經在企業的新聞被發明之前,第一次新聞學院設立和神話的自由中立紡周圍那些“專業”和“客觀”進行了潛義務,以確保新聞和意見在調整與建立共識,不管事實真相。 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.記者如賓夕法尼亞瓊斯,獨立的既得利益力量,不知疲倦的和有原則的,往往反映了普通美國人的態度,很少有符合定型促進企業媒體對大西洋兩岸的。 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.讀美國夢:失物招領的巧妙螺栓特克爾,誰死在另一天,或掃描的調查, unerringly屬性開明的意見,多數誰認為, “政府應該照顧誰可以不照顧自己” ,並準備支付更高的稅,全民保健,誰支持核裁軍和希望自己的軍隊,其他人的國家。 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.返回得克薩斯州,我再次通過這些所謂不同的redneck刻板印象,儘管負擔的一種形式的洗腦放在大多數美國人從一個年幼:即他們是最優良的社會歷史中的世界,所有的手段是合理的,其中包括洩漏的大量血液,保持該優勢。 That is the subtext of Barack Obama’s “oratory”.這是潛台詞奧巴馬的“演講” 。 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.他說,他希望建立美國的軍事實力,他有可能引發一場新的戰爭,巴基斯坦,造成了更多的棕色皮膚的人。 That will bring tears, too.這將帶來眼淚,太多。 Unlike those on election night, these other tears will be unseen in Chicago and London.不同於那些大選之夜,這些淚水將看不見在芝加哥和倫敦。 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.這不是懷疑的誠意很大的反應奧巴馬的選舉,這並不是因為發生的油膏已通過新聞報導來自美國自11月4日(如“自由的美國人微笑著和世界的微笑著與他們” )但出於同樣的原因,數以百萬計的憤怒的電子郵件被送往白宮和國會在“拯救”華爾街發現,因為大多數美國人厭倦了戰爭。 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.兩年前,這個反戰表決安裝了民主多數議員的支持,只有看民主黨交出更多的錢喬治W布什繼續他的血液節。 For his part, the “anti-war” Obama never said the illegal invasion of Iraq was wrong, merely that it was a “mistake”.對於他而言, “反戰”奧巴馬從來沒有說過的非法入侵伊拉克是錯誤的,只是這是一個“錯誤” 。 Thereafter, he voted in to give Bush what he wanted.此後,他投給布什自己想要什麼。 Yes, Obama’s election is historic, a symbol of great change to many.是的,奧巴馬的選舉是歷史性的,象徵著巨大的變化很多。 But it is equally true that the American elite has grown adept at using the black middle and management class.但它也同樣如此,美國的精英成長善於使用黑色中等和管理類。 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.勇敢的馬丁路德金承認這一點,他聯繫的人權;黑人與人權的越南,然後被殺害了一個自由民主管理。 And he was shot.他被槍殺。 In striking contrast, a young black major serving in Vietnam, Colin Powell, was used to “investigate” and whitewash the infamous My Lai massacre.在鮮明的對比,一個年輕的黑人主要服務於越南,國務卿鮑威爾,被用來“調查”和粉飾臭名昭著的美萊村大屠殺。 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.正如布什的國務卿,鮑威爾是經常被描述為一個“自由” ,被視為理想在於聯合國對伊拉克不存在大規模殺傷性武器。 Condaleezza Rice, lauded as a successful black woman, has worked assiduously to deny the Palestinians justice. Condaleezza水稻,讚揚作為一個成功的黑人女性,一直在刻苦否認巴勒斯坦人的正義。 Obama’s first two crucial appointments represent a denial of the wishes of his supporters on the principal issues on which they voted.奧巴馬的頭兩個關鍵任用代表拒絕的願望他的支持者的主要問題是,他們投了票。 The vice-president-elect, Joe Biden, is a proud warmaker and Zionist.副總統當選人,拜登,是一個值得驕傲的warmaker和猶太复國主義。 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.拉姆伊曼紐爾,是誰的是所有重要的白宮幕僚長,是一個熱切“新自由主義”專門理論,導致了當前的經濟崩潰和貧困的數以百萬計。 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.他也是一個“以色列第一”猶太复國主義者誰擔任以色列軍隊和有意義的正義反對對巴勒斯坦人-一個不公正的根源是穆斯林人的厭惡美國的產卵場和聖戰主義。 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”.沒有認真的審查,這是允許的範圍內表演的Obamamania ,就像沒有認真審查的背叛,大多數南非黑人被允許在“曼德拉的時刻” 。 This is especially marked in Britain, where America’s divine right to “lead” is important to elite British interests.這一點尤其顯著英國,美國的神聖權利,以“領導”重要的是英國精英的利益。 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”.曾經觀察家報尊重,支持布什的伊拉克戰爭,呼應他捏造的證據,現在宣布,沒有證據說, “美國已恢復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.這些“理想” ,這將宣誓奧巴馬堅持,有監督,自1945年以來,銷毀50個國家政府,包括民主,和30流行的解放運動,造成無數人死亡的男人,婦女和兒童。 None of this was uttered during the election campaign.這一切都不是的話在競選期間。 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.如果它被允許,甚至有可能已經認識到,自由主義作為一個狹隘的,極端傲慢的,戰爭的決策思想是摧毀自由主義作為一個現實。 Prior to Blair’s criminal warmaking, ideology was denied by him and his media mystics.之前,布萊爾的刑事戰爭,意識形態被剝奪了他和他的媒體神秘。 “Blair can be a beacon to the world,” declared the Guardian in 1997. “布萊爾可以是一個燈塔的世界” ,宣布衛於1997年。 “[He is] turning leadership into an art form.” “ [他]轉折點領導到一種藝術形式。 ” Today, merely insert “Obama”.今天,僅僅插入“奧巴馬” 。 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.至於歷史性時刻,還有一個是已經沒有,但工作正在順利進行-自由民主的轉向企業的獨裁統治,管理的人不論種族,與新聞媒體作為其陳詞濫調門面。 “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,寫道: ”小瓊斯賓州,德州真相出納員“ ,是時時警惕:沒有想到的方式意味著你想保持你睜大眼睛在任何時候。 ” Have Your Say: John Pilger: What “Change” In America Really Means 你說:約翰皮爾格:什麼“變”在美國的真正意義 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting張貼在發布前的指導方針 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以討論這份報告在這裡 . 。 Related News 相關新聞
