U-Thom Hartmann ubhale inani elikhulu lezincwadi ezinhle, futhi ezakamuva nazo ziyafana. Kubizwa Umlando Ofihliwe Womfowethu Omkhulu eMelika: Ukufa Kobumfihlo kanye Nokwanda Kokubhekwa Kusisongela Kanjani kanye Nentando Yethu Yeningi. U-Thom akayona into encane yokuzonda abokufika, i-paranoid, noma othanda impi. Uyakuqeda ukugxeka - okuningi kwakho okufanelekile - kohulumeni abaningi kuhlanganise nowaseWashington, DC Nokho ngicabanga ukuthi le ncwadi entsha inikeza isibonelo esiwusizo senkinga egxilile esikweni lase-US. Uma kwenzeka ungazihlanganisi no-4% wesintu noma ukholelwa ukuthi unanoma yini efana nentando yeningi, njengoba isihloko sencwadi sifuna ukuba wenze kanjalo, ungase ufike esihlokweni sokugadwa ngendlela ebona ukulimala kanye nokuhle endaweni. indlela ama-liberals ase-US avame ukuphikisa ngayo ukugadwa.
Umfowethu Omkhulu eMelika iqukethe iziqephu ezinhle ezimayelana nezindikimba ezijwayelekile zabafundi bakaHartmann: ubuhlanga, ubugqila, ukubusa yedwa, “impi” yezidakamizwa, njll. Futhi igxila ngokufanelekile ekuhloleni okwenziwa ohulumeni, izinhlangano, namathuluzi anjengama-alamu asekhaya, iziqapha zezingane, amaseli. amafoni, imidlalo, ama-TV, amawashi okufaneleka, onodoli baka-Barbie abakhulumayo, njll., ezinkampanini ezenza amakhasimende angafiseleki kangako alinde isikhathi eside, kumawebhusayithi ashintsha izintengo zemikhiqizo ukuze ifane nalokho abalindele ukuthi umuntu akukhokhe, emishinini yezokwelapha efaka idatha kumshwalense. izinkampani, kumaphrofayela okubona ubuso, ezinkundleni zokuxhumana eziphusha abasebenzisi ekubukeni okudlulele nakakhulu, kanye nasembuzweni wokuthi kunamuphi umthelela ekuziphatheni kwabantu ukwazi noma ukwesaba ukuthi bagadiwe.
Kodwa endaweni ethile endleleni, ukuvikela abantu ekusetshenzisweni kabi kwamandla ohulumeni nezinhlangano ezikhohlakele kuhlanganiswa nokuvikela uhulumeni owonakele ekusongelweni okucatshangwayo noma okuyihaba kwamanye amazwe. Futhi lokhu kuhlanganiswa kubonakala kusiza ukukhohlwa iqiniso lokuthi ukuchichima kwezimfihlo zikahulumeni okungenani kuyinkinga enkulu njengokushoda kobumfihlo. UHartmann ukhathazekile ngokuthi ukusebenzisa budedengu kukaMengameli uDonald Trump umakhalekhukhwini kungase kwembule ohulumeni bangaphandle. Ngikhathazekile ngokuthi ngabe ifihlelani umphakathi wase-US. Hartmann ubhala ukuthi “[t] nanku uhulumeni emhlabeni ongenazo izimfihlo okuthi, uma zembulwa, kulimaze ukuphepha kwezwe lalelo zwe.” Nokho, akukho lapho echaza “ukulondeka kwesizwe” noma ukuchaza ukuthi kungani kufanele sikukhathalele. Umane athi: “Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ezezempi, ezohwebo, noma ezombangazwe, ohulumeni bavame ukufihla ukwaziswa ngezizathu ezimbi nezinhle.” Nokho abanye ohulumeni abanawo amasosha, abanye babheka ukuhlangana kukahulumeni “nohwebo” njengobuxhakaxhaka, kanti abanye bakhelwe embonweni wokuthi ipolitiki yinto yokugcina okufanele igcinwe iyimfihlo (kusho ukuthini ngisho ukugcina ipolitiki iyimfihlo?). Kungaba yini isizathu esihle sanoma iyiphi yale mfihlo?
Kunjalo, uHartmann uyakholwa (ikhasi 93, ngokuphelele ngaphandle ingxabano noma imibhalo yaphansi, njengokujwayelekile) ukuthi uMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin usize uTrump ukuthi anqobe ukhetho lwango-2016 - hhayi ukuthi uPutin wayefuna ukusiza noma wazama ukusiza kodwa wasiza, isimangalo okungekho bufakazi kuso, okungenzeka ukuthi kungani. akukho okunikezwayo. Eqinisweni, uHartmann ukholelwa ukuthi uhulumeni waseRussia “kungenzeka” uvaleleke “ebukhona baseRussia osekuyiminyaka eminingi ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo zethu.” Lokhu kwesaba okujulile kokuthi othile ovela engxenyeni engafanele yeplanethi angathola ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US wenzani ifundeka kubantu abaningi abakhululekile njengesizathu sokuzonda iRussia noma njengesizathu semithetho eqinile ekuhlaselweni kwe-cyber - nakuba kungakaze kwenzeke, nanini. ukuqaphela iqiniso lokuthi iRussia ihlongoze ukuvimbela ukuhlaselwa ku-inthanethi iminyaka futhi yenqatshwa uhulumeni wase-US. Kimina, ngokuphambene, le nkinga iphakamisa isidingo sokwenza izenzo zikahulumeni zibe obala, ukwenza uhulumeni avuleleke kubantu okuthiwa baphethe lokho okubizwa ngentando yeningi. Ngisho nendaba yokuthi iDemocratic Party yayikhohlisa kanjani uSenator uBernie Sanders ekukhethweni okuhle - indaba iRussiagate eyakhiwe ukuze iphazamiseke - kwakuyisizathu sokungabi namfihlo okuncane, hhayi ngaphezulu. Kwakufanele ngabe sazi ukuthi kwenzekani, sibonge noma ubani owayesitshela okwenzekayo, futhi sizame ukukhumbula ngisho nokwenza okuthile ngalokho okwakwenzeka.
U-Hartmann uyaqhubeka nokuxoxa indaba yokuketula umbuso ngo-2014 e-Ukraine ngokungabi bikho okuphoqelekile kwanoma yikuphi okushiwo ngokuketula umbuso. U-Hartmann ubonakala engaqaphile ngamaqiniso, wenza ihaba ukuthi yini entsha nehlukile mayelana nobuchwepheshe namuhla, okuhlanganisa nokusikisela ukuthi ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bamuva kuphela lapho noma ubani angathola amaqiniso iphutha. “Ngokwesibonelo, ukugqugquzelwa kwenzondo yobuhlanga kungafaka abantu abaningi ejele, kodwa kuvunyelwe ukwanda kuFacebook . . . ” Cha, bekungeke. Izimangalo zangaphandle mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa kwama-Uighurs amaShayina zifakiwe kucashunwa a Guardian kubika ukuthi “kukholelwa . . . lokho.” Ubugqila “buwukukhula kwemvelo” kwezolimo, naphezu kokuntuleka kokuhlobana phakathi kwalokhu okubili emlandweni womhlaba kanye nomlando wangaphambi komlando. Futhi sisihlola kanjani isimangalo sokuthi uFrederick Douglass ubengeke afunde ukufunda ukube abanikazi bakhe bebenamathuluzi okuqapha anamuhla?
Ingozi enkulu futhi okugxilwe kuyo kakhulu kule ncwadi umkhankaso kaTrump, izikhangiso ze-Facebook eziqondiswe kancane, okufinyelelwe kuzo zonke izinhlobo zeziphetho, noma “kungenakwenzeka ukwazi ukuthi zazibaluleke kangakanani.” Phakathi kweziphetho ukuthi ukuqondiswa kwezikhangiso ze-Facebook kwenza "noma yiluphi uhlobo lokumelana ngokwengqondo lucishe lungenzeki" naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi lokhu kufunwa ababhali abaningi bechaza ukuthi kungani futhi kufanele simelane kanjani nezikhangiso ze-Facebook, mina kanye nabantu abaningi engibabuzayo ngokuvamile esinazo. noma kushaywe indiva ngokuphelele - nakuba lokho kucishe kungenzeki.
UHartmann ucaphuna isisebenzi sikaFacebook sithi uFacebook nguyena owakhetha uTrump. Kodwa ukhetho lukaTrump lwaluncane kakhulu. Ziningi izinto ezenze umehluko. Kubukeka sengathi ukucwasa ngobulili kwenze umehluko, ukuthi abavoti ezifundazweni ezimbili ezibalulekile ababuka u-Hillary Clinton njengomuntu ojwayele ukulwa benza umehluko, ukuthi ukuqamba amanga kukaTrump nokugcina izimfihlo eziningi ezimbi kwenza umehluko, ukuthi ukunikeza abalandeli bakaBernie Sanders umgodi wokucasha. wenze umehluko, ukuthi ikolishi lokhetho lenza umehluko, ukuthi umsebenzi omude osolisayo womphakathi ka-Hillary Clinton wenza umehluko, ukuthi ukunambitheka kwenkampani yezindaba ngezilinganiso ezidalwe nguTrump kwenza umehluko. Noma iyiphi yalezi zinto (nezinye eziningi) eyenza umehluko ayisikiseli ukuthi zonke ezinye aziwenzanga umehluko. Ngakho-ke, masinganiki isisindo esiningi kulokho uFacebook okuthiwa wakwenza. Nokho, ake sibuze ubufakazi obuthile bokuthi yakwenza.
U-Hartmann uzama ukuphakamisa ukuthi izehlakalo ezimenyezelwe ku-Facebook ngama-troll aseRussia zenze umehluko, ngaphandle kobufakazi bangempela, futhi kamuva encwadini evuma ukuthi “[a] muntu uqinisekile kuze kube yilolu suku (okunye, mhlawumbe, kuno-Facebook)” omemezele okuthile -imicimbi ekhona “ye-Black Antifa”. U-Hartmann unikeza ubufakazi obuncane noma abunabo ngesimangalo esiphindaphindwayo sokuthi ohulumeni bangaphandle banesibopho ngandlela thize ekusabalaleni kwemicabango yetulo le-crackpot ezinkundleni zokuxhumana zase-US - noma amaphupho e-crackpot engenabo ubufakazi obuncane ngemuva kwawo ukwedlula lokho okushiwo ngabo. osewasakazile.
U-Hartmann ulandisa ukuhlasela kwe-cyber-cyber kwe-US-Israeli "Stuxnet" e-Iran njengokuhlasela kokuqala okukhulu okunjalo. Ukuchaza njengokugqugquzela ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kwe-Iran kumathuluzi afanayo okuhlasela ku-inthanethi, futhi usola/ubeka i-Iran, iRussia, neChina ngokuhlaselwa okuhlukahlukene okushiwo uhulumeni wase-US. Sonke silindeleke ukuthi sikhethe ukuthi yiziphi izingcezu zezimangalo zokuthi yimuphi kulaba hulumeni abaqamba amanga okuyiqiniso. Ngazi izinto ezimbili eziyiqiniso lapha:
1) Intshisekelo yami kubumfihlo bomuntu siqu kanye nekhono lokuhlangana ngokukhululekile nokubhikisha kwehluke kakhulu elungelweni likahulumeni lokugcina lokho akwenzayo egameni lami kuyimfihlo yemali yami.
2) Ukufika kwe-cyberwar akuzisuli ezinye izinhlobo zempi. U-Hartmann ubhala ukuthi "Izibalo zobungozi/zomvuzo we-cyberwar zingcono kakhulu kunempi yenuzi kangangokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi impi yenuzi isiphenduke i-anachronism." Uxolo, kodwa impi yenuzi ayizange ibe nomqondo ophusile. Njalo. Futhi ukutshalwa kwezimali kuyo kanye namalungiselelo ayo kukhuphuka ngokushesha.
Kimina kubonakala sengathi kufanele sikhulume ngokugadwa kwabantu ngokwehlukana nokukhuluma ngokuhlaselwa kwe-inthanethi kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nezempi. Wonke umuntu ubonakala enza umsebenzi ongcono kunangaphambili. Uma lokhu kuxubene, ukushisekela izwe kubonakala kuphendukezela izinto ezibalulekile. Ingabe sifuna ukuqeda amandla isimo sokugada noma siqhubeke nokusinikeza amandla? Ngabe sifuna ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obukhulu noma ukubunikeza uxhaso ukuze sisize ukuvikela abokufika ababi? Ohulumeni abafuna ukuhlukumeza abantu babo ngaphandle kokubhikisha bavele bakhonze izitha zakwamanye amazwe. Akudingekile ukuba ubakhonze, kodwa kufanele okungenani uqaphele ukuthi bakhonza yiphi inhloso.
