Marshall McLuhan cov lus faj lem hais tias "tus thawj coj ntawm kev nom kev tswv yuav yog kev tshaj tawm" tau tshwm sim. Raw propaganda tam sim no yog txoj cai nyob rau hauv Western kev ywj pheej, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv lub US thiab Britain.
Ntawm kev ua tsov ua rog thiab kev thaj yeeb, kev dag ntxias nom tswv tau tshaj tawm raws li xov xwm. Qhov tseeb tsis yooj yim yog censored, dab raug cob qhia. Tus qauv yog neeg spin, txiaj ntawm lub hnub nyoog. Xyoo 1964, McLuhan tau tshaj tawm tias, "Qhov nruab nrab yog cov lus." Cov lus dag yog cov lus tam sim no.
Tab sis yog qhov tshiab no? Nws yog ntau tshaj li ib puas xyoo txij li Edward Bernays, leej txiv ntawm kev sib tw, tau tsim "kev sib raug zoo rau pej xeem" ua ib daim npog rau kev ua tsov ua rog. Dab tsi tshiab yog qhov kev tshem tawm virtual ntawm kev tsis pom zoo hauv lub ntsiab.
Tus kws sau xov xwm zoo David Bowman, tus sau phau ntawv Captive Press, tau hu qhov no "kev tiv thaiv ntawm txhua tus uas tsis kam ua raws li kab thiab nqos cov tsis muaj palatable thiab ua siab tawv". Nws tau xa mus rau cov neeg sau xov xwm ywj pheej thiab cov xuav nplawm, cov neeg ncaj ncees rau cov koom haum xov xwm ib zaug muab qhov chaw, feem ntau nrog kev txaus siab. Qhov chaw tau raug tshem tawm.
Kev ua tsov rog hysteria uas tau dov zoo li nthwv dej nthwv dej hauv lub lis piam tsis ntev los no thiab lub hlis yog qhov piv txwv zoo tshaj plaws. Paub los ntawm nws cov jargon, "shaping the narrative", ntau yog tias tsis yog feem ntau nws yog kev tshaj tawm dawb huv.
Cov Russians tuaj. Russia phem tshaj qhov phem. Putin yog phem, "ib tug Nazi zoo li Hitler", salivated lub Labor MP Chris Bryant. Ukraine tab tom yuav raug cuam tshuam los ntawm Russia - hmo no, lub lim tiam no, lub lim tiam tom ntej. Cov peev txheej suav nrog tus ex CIA propagandist uas tam sim no hais rau US State Department thiab tsis muaj pov thawj ntawm nws cov lus thov txog Lavxias teb sab kev ua vim "nws los ntawm US tsoom fwv".
Txoj cai tsis muaj pov thawj kuj tseem siv tau hauv London. Tus Thawj Fwm Tsav Tebchaws Askiv Askiv, Liz Truss, uas tau siv nyiaj £ 500,000 ntawm pej xeem cov nyiaj ya mus rau Australia hauv lub dav hlau ntiag tug ceeb toom rau tsoomfwv Canberra tias Russia thiab Tuam Tshoj tab tom yuav tawm tsam, tsis muaj pov thawj. Antipodean taub hau nodded; qhov "narrative" yog unchallenged muaj. Ib qho kev zam tsis tshua muaj, yav dhau los tus thawj nom tswv Paul Keating, hu ua Truss qhov kev sov siab "demented".
Truss tau blithely tsis meej pem lub teb chaws ntawm Baltic thiab Dub hiav txwv. Nyob rau hauv Moscow, nws hais rau Lavxias teb sab Minister ntawm txawv teb chaws hais tias teb chaws Aas Kiv yuav tsis txais Lavxias teb sab sovereignty rau Rostov thiab Voronezh - txog thaum nws tau taw qhia rau nws tias cov chaw no tsis yog ib feem ntawm Ukraine tab sis nyob rau hauv Russia. Nyeem cov ntawv xov xwm Lavxias hais txog qhov buffoonery ntawm tus neeg dag no mus rau 10 Downing Street thiab cringe.
Qhov no tag nrho farce, tsis ntev los no starring Boris Johnson nyob rau hauv Moscow ua si ib tug clownish version ntawm nws hero, Churchill, tej zaum yuav txaus siab rau raws li satire yog nws tsis yog rau nws txhob txwm ua phem rau qhov tseeb thiab keeb kwm kev nkag siab thiab tiag tiag txaus ntshai ntawm tsov rog.
Vladimir Putin hais txog "kev tua neeg tua neeg" nyob rau thaj tsam Donbas sab hnub tuaj ntawm Ukraine. Tom qab lub coup nyob rau hauv Ukraine nyob rau hauv 2014 - orchestrated los ntawm Barack Obama tus "tus neeg taw tes" nyob rau hauv Kyiv, Victoria Nuland - lub coup tsoom fwv, infested nrog neo-Nazis, launched ib tug phiaj los nqis tes ntawm kev ntshai tawm tsam Lavxias teb sab-hais lus Donbas, uas suav rau ib feem peb ntawm Ukraine. pej xeem.
Saib xyuas los ntawm CIA tus thawj coj John Brennan hauv Kyiv, "cov chaw tshwj xeeb kev ruaj ntseg" tau sib koom ua kev tawm tsam rau cov neeg Donbas, uas tawm tsam kev tawm tsam. Cov yeeb yaj kiab thiab cov neeg ua pov thawj pom pom pom tias cov neeg tsav tsheb npav fascist tau hlawv lub chaw haujlwm hauv lub chaw haujlwm hauv nroog Odessa, tua 41 tus neeg nyob hauv. Tub ceev xwm sawv ntawm. Obama tau ua kev zoo siab rau "tsim nyog xaiv" txoj kev tawm tsam rau nws "kev txwv tsis pub muaj txiaj ntsig".
Hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas xov xwm Odessa kev ua phem tau ua rau "murky" thiab "kev txom nyem" uas "nationalists" (neo-Nazis) tau tawm tsam "separatists" (cov neeg sau npe kos npe rau kev tawm suab ntawm tsoomfwv Ukraine). Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal damned cov neeg raug tsim txom - "Tuag Ukraine Hluav Taws Kub Zoo Li Sparked los ntawm Rebels, tsoom fwv hais tias".
Xib fwb Stephen Cohen, uas tau qhuas los ntawm Asmeskas cov thawj coj hauv tebchaws Russia, tau sau tias, "Lub pogrom zoo li hlawv kom tuag ntawm haiv neeg Russians thiab lwm tus hauv Odessa tau rov nco txog Nazi pawg neeg tua neeg hauv Ukraine thaum tsov rog ntiaj teb ob. [Niaj hnub no] muaj cua daj cua dub ua phem rau gays, cov neeg Yudais, cov neeg laus cov neeg Lavxias, thiab lwm cov pej xeem 'cov neeg tsis huv' tau nthuav dav thoob plaws hauv Kyiv-tswj Ukraine, nrog rau cov teeb ci ntsa iab ua rau nco txog cov uas thaum kawg ua rau lub teb chaws Yelemees lig 1920s thiab 1930s…
"Cov tub ceev xwm thiab cov tub ceev xwm raug cai ua tsis muaj dab tsi los tiv thaiv cov neo-fascist kev ua lossis foob lawv. Ntawm qhov tsis sib xws, Kyiv tau txhawb nqa lawv los ntawm kev kho kom zoo dua qub thiab tseem nco txog Ukrainian cov neeg koom tes nrog Nazi German tua neeg pogroms, hloov npe txoj kev hauv lawv txoj kev hwm, tsim monuments rau lawv, rov sau keeb kwm kom qhuas lawv, thiab ntau dua. "
Niaj hnub no, neo-Nazi Ukraine yog tsis tshua muaj hais. Tias cov British tab tom cob qhia Ukrainian National Guard, uas suav nrog neo-Nazis, tsis yog xov xwm. (Saib Matt Kennard's Declassified report in Consortium 15 Lub Ob Hlis). Kev rov qab los ntawm kev ua phem, pom zoo fascism rau 21st-xyoo pua Europe, hais txog Harold Pinter, "tsis tau tshwm sim ... txawm tias thaum nws tshwm sim".
Thaum Lub Kaum Ob Hlis 16, United Nations tau sau tsab ntawv daws teeb meem uas tau hu rau "kev tawm tsam kev qhuas ntawm Nazism, neo-Nazism thiab lwm yam kev coj ua uas ua rau muaj kev txhawb nqa kev ntxub ntxaug lwm haiv neeg". Tib lub tebchaws los pov npav tawm tsam nws yog Tebchaws Meskas thiab Ukraine.
Yuav luag txhua tus neeg Lavxias paub tias nws nyob thoob plaws thaj av ntawm Ukraine "borderland" uas Hitler txoj kev faib tawm los ntawm sab hnub poob xyoo 1941, txhawb nqa los ntawm Ukraine's Nazi cultists thiab koom tes. Qhov tshwm sim yog ntau tshaj 20 lab tus neeg Lavxias tuag.
Teem ib sab ntawm maneuvers thiab cynicism ntawm geopolitics, txhua tus neeg ua si, lub cim xeeb keeb kwm no yog lub zog tsav tom qab Russia txoj kev hwm-nrhiav, tiv thaiv tus kheej cov lus pom zoo, uas tau luam tawm hauv Moscow hauv lub lis piam UN tau pov npav 130-2 rau kev tawm tsam Nazism. Lawv yog:
- NATO tau lees tias nws yuav tsis xa cov cuaj luaj nyob rau hauv cov teb chaws uas ciam teb Russia. (Lawv twb nyob hauv qhov chaw los ntawm Slovenia mus rau Romania, nrog Poland ua raws)
- NATO txwv tsis pub ua tub rog thiab kev ua tub rog hauv tebchaws thiab hiav txwv ciam teb Russia.
- Ukraine yuav tsis dhau los ua tswv cuab ntawm NATO.
- Sab hnub poob thiab Russia kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus kev ruaj ntseg East-West.
- qhov kev cog lus tseem ceeb ntawm Asmeskas thiab Russia npog cov riam phom nuclear nruab nrab kom rov qab los. (Tebchaws Asmeskas tso tseg nws hauv 2019)
Cov nyiaj no rau ib daim ntawv qhia dav dav ntawm txoj kev npaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb rau tag nrho cov teb chaws Europe tom qab tsov rog thiab yuav tsum tau txais tos nyob rau sab hnub poob. Tab sis leej twg to taub lawv qhov tseem ceeb hauv tebchaws Askiv? Qhov lawv tau hais yog tias Putin yog ib qho kev phem thiab kev hem thawj rau Christendom.
Lavxias-hais lus Ukrainians, nyob rau hauv kev lag luam blockade los ntawm Kyiv rau xya xyoo, tab tom sib ntaus sib tua rau lawv ciaj sia. Cov tub rog "massing" peb tsis tshua hnov txog yog kaum peb pab tub rog Ukrainian pab tub rog tso siege rau Donbas: kwv yees li 150,000 pab tub rog. Yog hais tias lawv tawm tsam, provocation rau Russia yuav luag yeej txhais tau tias ua tsov ua rog.
Nyob rau hauv 2015, brokered los ntawm Germans thiab Fabkis, cov thawj tswj hwm ntawm Russia, Ukraine, Lub teb chaws Yelemees thiab Fabkis tau ntsib nyob rau hauv Minsk thiab kos npe rau ib ntus kev sib haum xeeb deal. Ukraine tau pom zoo muab kev ywj pheej rau Donbas, tam sim no tus kheej tshaj tawm cov koom pheej ntawm Donetsk thiab Luhansk.
Daim ntawv cog lus Minsk yeej tsis tau muab sijhawm rau. Hauv tebchaws Aas Kiv, txoj kab, nthuav dav los ntawm Boris Johnson, yog tias Ukraine tau raug "hais rau" los ntawm cov thawj coj hauv ntiaj teb. Rau nws feem, Britain tab tom ua tub rog Ukraine thiab cob qhia nws cov tub rog.
Txij li thaum thawj Tsov Rog Txias, NATO tau taug kev zoo mus rau Russia tus ciam teb uas muaj kev cuam tshuam loj tshaj plaws uas tau pom nws txoj kev ua phem rau hauv Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya thiab tawg cov lus cog tseg uas yuav thim rov qab. Tau rub cov European "cov phooj ywg" mus rau hauv Asmeskas kev tsov kev rog uas tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam rau lawv, qhov zoo tshaj plaws tsis hais yog tias NATO nws tus kheej yog qhov kev hem thawj tiag tiag rau European kev ruaj ntseg.
Nyob rau hauv teb chaws Aas Kiv, ib lub xeev thiab xov xwm xenophobia tshwm sim ntawm heev hais txog "Russia". Kos lub hauv caug-jerk hostility uas BBC tshaj tawm Russia. Vim li cas? Puas yog vim kev kho dua tshiab ntawm imperial mythology xav tau, qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, tus yeeb ncuab mus tas li? Muaj tseeb tiag, peb tsim nyog zoo dua.
