Inkulumo Eyingozi: Lapho Okuqhubekayo Kuzwakala NjengeDemagogue

Ibhalwe nguNorman Solomon | Juni 5, 2017.

Ukuphatha kukaTrump sekuvele kwenze umonakalo omkhulu e-United States nasemhlabeni. Endleleni, uTrump uphinde wabangela ukuthi abaningi abaphambili abavelele balulaze ezabo izinkulumo zezombusazwe. Kukithi ukubekela inselele imiphumela elimazayo ye-hyperbole evamile kanye ne-demagoguery.

 Cabangela inkulumo-ze evela kwelinye lamalungu amasha eNdlu athembisa kakhulu, u-Democrat Jamie Raskin, embuthanweni oseduze ne-Washington Monument ngempelasonto. Efunda embhalweni olungiselelwe, uRaskin wafudumala ngokumemezela ukuthi "uDonald Trump uyinkohliso eyenziwa kubantu baseMelika ngamaRussia." Ngokushesha ukhongolose waqamba amazwe ahlukahlukene njengeHungary, iPhilippines, iSyria neVenezuela, futhi ngokushesha wamemezela: “Bonke ababusi, omashiqela nama-kleptocrat sebetholene, futhi uVladimir Putin ungumholi wezwe elingenankululeko.”

 Kamuva, wabuzwa ngamaphutha eqiniso kweyakhe inkulumo, u-Raskin waphaphalaza ngesikhathi sokuqoshwa interview neThe Real News. Lokho manje osekuyi-boilerplate yeDemocratic Party ngeRussia akuhlangene kangako namaqiniso aqinisekisiwe futhi kuhlobene kakhulu nezindawo zokukhuluma zezinhlangothi.

 Ngalolo suku uRaskin akhuluma ngalo, owayenguNobhala Wezabasebenzi oqhubekayo uRobert Reich waveza phezulu kuwebhusayithi yakhe i- esihlokweni ubhale ngesihloko esithi "Ubuciko be-Trump-Putin Deal." Isiqephu besinokufana okumangalisayo nalokho abathuthukisi abakwenyanyayo eminyakeni edlule lapho beqhamuka kubahlaziyi nabathakathi abaphiko lwesokudla. I-timeworn technique yayiyithrekhi ekabili, empeleni: Angikwazi ukufakazela ukuthi kuyiqiniso, kodwa asiqhubeke njengokungathi kunjalo.

 Ukuhola kwesiqephu sikaReich kwakuhlakaniphile. Indlela ehlakaniphe kakhulu: “Ithi unguVladimir Putin, futhi wenze isivumelwano noTrump ngonyaka odlule. Angiphakamisi ukuthi kukhona isivumelwano esinjalo, khumbula. Kodwa uma wena uPutin kanye nawe wenza wenze isivumelwano, uTrump uvumile ukwenzani?"

 Ukusuka lapho, ucezu lukaReich lwaya emijahweni eqanjiwe.

 I-Progressives ivamise ukudelela amasu anjalo enkulumo-ze evela kwabafuna kwesokudla, hhayi nje ngoba kwesokunxele kuqondiswe kuso kodwa futhi ngenxa yokuthi sifuna isiko lezepolitiki elisekelwe emaqinisweni nasekungenzeleli esikhundleni kunama-innuendo nama-smears. Kubuhlungu manje ukubona abathuthukisi abaningi behlanganyela emagameni angenalutho.

 Ngokunjalo, kuyadabukisa ukubona ukulangazelela okungaka kokuthembela ekuthembekeni okuphelele kwezikhungo ezifana ne-CIA kanye ne-NSA - izikhungo ezithole ukungathenjwa okuhlakaniphile ngaphambilini. Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, izigidi zabantu baseMelika zithole ukuqaphela okujulile kwamandla okukhohlisa nokukhohlisa abezindaba yinhlangano yase-U.S. yenqubomgomo yangaphandle. Kepha manje, njengoba bebhekene nophiko lwesokudla olukhuphukayo olukhuphukayo, abanye abathuthukayo bazinikele esilingweni sokusola isimo sethu sezombusazwe kakhulu “esitheni” sangaphandle kunasezinkampanini ezinamandla ekhaya.

 I-scapegoating yaseRussia isebenzela izinjongo eziningi zezempi-yezimboni, ama-neocons aseRiphabhulikhi kanye namaDemocrats "ama-liberal intervention". Ngaso sonke isikhathi, inkulumo-mpikiswano yokuqala yaseRussia ilusizo kakhulu ophikweni lukaClinton lweDemocratic Party - ukuphambukisa okukhulu funa ukugqama kwayo kanye nokuhlangana kwayo namandla ebhizinisi kubhekwe kakhulu futhi kube nenselelo enamandla evela emazingeni aphansi.

 Kulo mongo, ukugqugquzeleka kanye nezikhuthazo zokuthenga isiphithiphithi esimelene neRussia sekwandile. Inani elimangalisayo labantu lithi liqinisekile mayelana nokugebenga kanye “nokukhohlisana” - izehlakalo abangakwazi, okwamanje, ukuqiniseka ngazo ngempela. Ngokwengxenye lokho kungenxa yezimangalo ezikhohlisayo eziphindaphindwa ngokungapheli osopolitiki beDemokhrasi nabezindaba. Isibonelo esisodwa isimangalo esidabukisayo nesidukisa kakhulu sokuthi "izinhlangano zezobunhloli zase-US" zafinyelela esiphethweni esifanayo mayelana nokugebenga iDemocratic National Committee yaseRussia - isimangalo intatheli uRobert Parry asiphikisa ngempumelelo. esihlokweni evikini eledlule.

 Phakathi nokuvela kwakamuva ku-CNN, owayeyiSenala Sesifunda Sase-Ohio uNina Turner unikeze umbono owawudingeka kabi ngendaba yokungena kweRussia okhethweni lwase-U.S. Abantu baseFlint, eMichigan “bengingeke ngikubuze ngeRussia noJared Kushner,” yena wathi. “Bafuna ukwazi ukuthi bazowathola kanjani amanzi ahlanzekile nokuthi kungani bengu-8,000 abantu sebezolahlekelwa yimizi yabo.”

 U-Turner waphawula ukuthi "kufanele sibhekane" nezinsolo zokugxambukela kweRussia okhethweni, "kusezingqondweni zabantu baseMelika, kodwa uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi yini abantu base-Ohio - bafuna ukwazi ngemisebenzi, bafuna ukwazi. ngezingane zabo.” Mayelana neRussia, uthe, “Simatasa ngalokhu, akukhona ukuthi lokhu akubalulekile, kodwa nsuku zonke abantu baseMelika bashiywa ngoba kuyiRussia, Russia, Russia."

 Njengama-CEO ezinkampani umbono wawo ufinyelela kuphela kwikota elandelayo noma ezimbili, osopolitiki abaningi beDemocratic Alliance bebezimisele ukufaka inkulumo yabo enobuthi emzimbeni wezepolitiki ngombono wokuthi kuzoba nenzuzo kwezepolitiki okhethweni oluzayo noma ezimbili. Kodwa ngisho nangemibandela yayo, le ndlela ingase yehluleke. Iningi labantu baseMelika likhathazeke kakhulu ngekusasa labo lezomnotho kune-Kremlin. Iqembu elizenza laziwe kakhulu njengelimelene nama-Russian kunabantu abasekela ukusebenza linekusasa eliyinkinga.

 Namuhla, ngemva kweminyaka engu-15 inkulumo kaGeorge W. Bush ethi “i-eksisi yobubi” ibeke inkundla yokubulala amasosha okuqhubekayo, osopolitiki abasebenzisa izinkulumo ezingancikisiwe njengokuthi “UPutin ungumholi wezwe elingakhululekile” ziyasiza bhebhezela umbuso wezempi - futhi, kule nqubo, okwandisa amathuba okungqubuzana kwezempi okuqondile phakathi kwe-United States neRussia okungase kuhambe ngezikhali zenuzi futhi kusibhubhise sonke. Kodwa ukukhathazeka okunjalo kungase kubonakale njengokusho okuthile uma kuqhathaniswa nokuwina izinzuzo ezithile zezombusazwe zesikhashana. Yilokho umehluko phakathi kobuholi kanye ne-deagoguery.
