Ndi Marc Eliot Stein, August 25, 2018
Peter Phillips, pulofesa wa Political Sociology ku Sonoma State University ndi wofufuza nkhani za Project Censored and Media Freedom Foundation, adafotokoza mwachidule buku lake latsopano "Giants: The Global Power Elite" sabata yatha ku yunivesite ya Fordham ku Manhattan. Iyi inali gawo lodziwika bwino lomwe linalongosola cholinga chapadera cha bukhu latsopanoli: kufotokoza kuwonetsera kwapadera ntchito zapadera za mgwirizano wogulitsa, mabungwe apadziko lonse, mabanki oganiza, mabungwe ena ndi mabungwe ena omwe si a boma omwe amasulira ndondomeko ya olemera gawo limodzi mwa ndondomeko za ndondomeko ndi malingaliro omwe maboma amphamvu kwambiri padziko lonse angathe kuchita.
"Giants: The Global Power Elite" ali ndi cholinga chenichenicho, chomwe wolembayo anatenga nthawi yofotokozera kumayambiriro kwa nkhani yake ku Fordham. Iyi si bukhu lonena za anthu olemera kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, komanso za anthu olemera kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Ponena za kagulu kakang'ono ka magulu awiriwa omwe amagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu pogwiritsa ntchito ndondomeko, kupanga mgwirizano ndi kusonkhanitsa ndalama zomwe boma limalandira ndikuzichita. Bukhuli limafotokoza mabungwe omwe amachita ntchito yomasulira mapulogalamu olemera omwe angakhale ovomerezeka a boma, ndiyeno amapereka ndalama zothandizira kuti zikhale zovomerezeka. "Giants" cholinga chake ndi kuwulula komwe mphira imakumana ndi msewu mu ndondomeko ya padziko lonse, kuchokera kwa oyang'anira ndalama monga Black Rock ndi Vanguard Gulu ku mabungwe otsogolera obisala monga Gulu la 30 ndi Bilderberg Group, ndithudi, okondwerera ankhondo monga Atlantic Council, zomwe zimagwira ntchito yopanga ndondomeko yopanga ndondomeko yovomerezeka komanso yokonza mgwirizano wa NATO.
Sitiyenera kudabwa kuti makampani ogwira ntchito zamagulu akugwiritsidwa ntchito mwakhama pakati pa anthu amphamvu padziko lonse lapansi. Peter Phillips akupereka chaputala chonse cha "Giants" kwa otchedwa "Protectors" omwe amapanga mgwirizanowo pakati pa anthu osiyanasiyana kupanga chisankho kuti dziko lapansili likhale lopanda nkhondo lopanda malire. Chaputala chapamwamba ichi chikutsindika njira yatsopano yomwe imasokoneza njira zatsopano zomwe zimachititsa kuti anthu ambiri asamangidwe zakale: kutuluka kwa makampani osokoneza bongo omwe amagwiritsa ntchito ndalama monga Blackwater, omwe akupezeka pano monga Constellis Holdings, ndi G4S odziwika kwambiri.
"Giants: The Global Power Elite" ndi ofunikira osati kutchula mabungwe omwe ali ndi mphamvu kwambiri padziko lonse, koma komanso kufotokozera anthu omwe amagwira ntchito m'mabungwe awa. Zambiri mwa bukhulo liri mu "Who's Who" maonekedwe: mndandanda wamabuku a maina omwe sadziwika, okonzedweratu alfabeta ndi kumaliza ndi mfundo monga ntchito yam'mbuyo ndi yamakono, umembala wa bungwe la makampani, mbiri ya maphunziro ndi ndalama zodziwika.
Mfundo yakuti bukuli makamaka ndi lolemba limapangitsa kuti likhale losavuta komanso limvetsetse. Bukuli ndi lothandizidwa ndi gawo: Otsogolera (ndalama), Otsogolera (othandizira malamulo), Owateteza (othandizira usilikali), komanso okhudzidwa kwambiri, Ideologists (ogwirizana ndi anthu omwe amagwira ntchito kwambiri m'magulu akuluakulu, Omnicom ndi WPP). Phillips amagawana zizindikiro ndi zozizwitsa za mbiri yakale kuti afotokoze momwe magulu osiyanasiyanawa amalekerera maulendo awo kuti akhale oopsa.
Kufufuzira kupyola mndandanda wa anthu kumapangitsa kupeza zodabwitsa, monga kubwereza kozizwitsa kwa dzina lakuti "Harvard University" pakati pa anthu omwe amati ndi anthu ochokera m'mayiko ena. Werengani pamodzi, zojambulazo zowonetsa kuti malire a dziko lapansi ndi olemera kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, omwe amachoka pakati pa USA, England, France, Germany ndi Japan, monga momwe malamulo omwe amapangira amatsimikizira kuti nzika za m'mayiko dziko lidzakhalabe losamvetsetsana pa nkhondo.
Peter Phillips analemba buku lofunika, lofufuzidwa bwino. Ndilo buku lolemetsa, chifukwa limawulula maina enieni ndi chidule cha mafilimu ochuluka omwe ali olemera komanso olemera padziko lonse lapansi. Kuwulula maina awa ndichitetezo cha wolemba, ndi wolemba Seven Stories. Ndale zonyansa zadziko lonse zomwe zimayambira miyoyo yathu zimasiya ambiri a ife kumverera kuti ndife opanda pake komanso opanda thandizo pamaso pa mphamvu zooneka ngati zangwiro. Kodi timaloledwa kulemba mabuku ngati "Giants", ndi kulemba mayina a anthu omwe ali pa gulu lonse la amphamvu padziko lonse omwe amapanga ndi kugulitsa malo omwe amakhudza miyoyo yathu?
Kodi mphaka imaloledwa kuyang'ana mfumu? Kodi pulofesa wa sayansi ya ndale ndi wofufuza wofufuza payekha amalola kulemba bukhu lomwe limatiuza ife eni eni omwe ali ogulitsa mabungwe, ndipo akuchita chiyani? Peter Phillips walemba buku ili, ndipo tonsefe tikhoza kupindula pozindikira zomwe zili mkati.
