I-Pentagon kanye ne-CIA Balolonge Izinkulungwane Zamafilimu aseHollywood zibe Inkulumo-ze Ephumelelayo Kakhulu

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Januwari 5, 2022

Inkulumo-ze iba nomthelela omkhulu lapho abantu bengacabangi ukuthi iyinkulumo-ze, futhi inquma kakhulu uma kuwukucwaninga ongazange wazi ukuthi kwenzeke. Uma sicabanga ukuthi amasosha ase-US ngezikhathi ezithile futhi athonya kancane amamuvi ase-US, sikhohliswa kabi kakhulu. Umthelela wangempela usezinkulungwaneni zamamuvi enziwe, futhi izinkulungwane zamanye azikaze zenziwe. Nemidlalo yethelevishini yazo zonke izinhlobo. Izihambeli zamasosha nemigubho yamasosha ase-US emibukisweni yemidlalo nasemibukisweni yokupheka ayiseyona into ezenzakalelayo noma esomphakathi kunemikhosi ekhazimulisa amalungu ezempi yase-US emidlalweni yezemidlalo yobungcweti - imikhosi ekhokhelwe futhi yahlelwa ngamadola ase-US futhi amasosha ase-US. Okuqukethwe “kokuzijabulisa” okulotshwe ngokucophelela amahhovisi “ezokuzijabulisa” ePentagon kanye ne-CIA akuwalungiseleli nje ngobuqili abantu ukuthi basabele ngendlela ehlukile ezindabeni ngempi nokuthula emhlabeni. Ngokwezinga elikhulu ithatha indawo yeqiniso elihlukile kubantu abafunda izindaba zangempela ezincane kakhulu ngomhlaba nhlobo.

Amasosha ase-US ayazi ukuthi bambalwa abantu ababuka izinhlelo zezindaba eziyisicefe nezingethembekile, ingasaphathwa eyokufunda amaphephandaba ayisicefe nangakholakali, kodwa lezi zixuku ezinkulu zizobuka amamuvi amade nezinhlelo ze-TV ngokulangazela ngaphandle kokukhathazeka kakhulu ngokuthi kukhona okunengqondo yini. Siyazi ukuthi iPentagon iyakwazi lokhu, nokuthi yiziphi izikhulu zezempi ezihlela netulo ngenxa yokwazi lokhu, ngenxa yomsebenzi wabacwaningi abangaphezi abasebenzisa uMthetho Wenkululeko Yolwazi. Laba bacwaningi bathole izinkulungwane eziningi zamakhasi amamemo, amanothi, nokubhala kabusha umbhalo. Angazi noma ngabe bawafakile yini wonke lawa madokhumenti ku-inthanethi - ngiyethemba ukuthi bazokwenza nokuthi isixhumanisi sitholakale kabanzi. Ngifisa sengathi isixhumanisi esinjalo besingefonti enkulu ekupheleni kwefilimu entsha emnandi. Ifilimu ibizwa ngokuthi Amathiyetha Empi: I-Pentagon ne-CIA Zayithatha kanjani iHollywood. UMqondisi, uMhleli, kanye noMlandisi nguRoger Stahl. Abadidiyeli Abadidiyelwe nguMatthew Alford, Tom Secker, Sebastian Kaempf. Banikeze isevisi yomphakathi ebalulekile.

Kule filimu sibona amakhophi futhi sizwe izingcaphuno ezicashuniwe futhi zicutshungulwa okuningi kwalokho okuye kwadalulwa, futhi sifunda ukuthi kunezinkulungwane zamakhasi okungakaze kubonwe muntu ngenxa yokuthi amasosha anqabile ukuwakhipha. Abakhiqizi bamafilimu basayina izinkontileka namasosha ase-US noma i-CIA. Bavuma "ukuhlanganisa amaphuzu abalulekile okukhuluma." Nakuba amanani angaziwa alolu hlobo lwento engaziwa, siyazi ukuthi cishe amafilimu e-3,000 nezinkulungwane eziningi zeziqephu ze-TV zinikezwe ukwelashwa kwe-Pentagon, kanti ezinye eziningi ziphathwe yi-CIA. Emikhiqizweni eminingi yamafilimu, umbutho wezempi uba ngumdidiyeli obambisene namandla e-veto, ukushintshanisa ngokuvumela ukusetshenziswa kwezisekelo zamasosha, izikhali, ochwepheshe, namasosha. Okunye ukuphika lezo zinto.

Kodwa amasosha awasho lutho njengoba lokhu kungase kusikisele. Ithumela ngenkuthalo imibono emisha yendaba kubadidiyeli bamamuvi nabamabonakude. Ifuna imibono emisha nabahlanganyeli abasha abangabaletha ethiyetha noma ikhompuyutha ephathekayo eduze nawe. Umthetho we-Valor empeleni yaqala impilo njengesikhangiso sokuqasha.

Yiqiniso, amafilimu amaningi enziwa ngaphandle kosizo lwezempi. Eziningi ezinhle azikaze ziyifune. Abaningi ababeyifuna futhi benqatshelwa, bakwazi ukuzuza noma kunjalo, ngezinye izikhathi ngezindleko ezinkulu ngaphandle kwamadola aseMelika entela akhokhela izakhiwo. Kodwa inani elikhulu lama-movie enziwa namasosha. Kwesinye isikhathi imuvi yokuqala ochungechungeni yenziwa namasosha, futhi iziqephu ezisele zilandela ngokuzithandela umugqa wezempi. Imikhuba ijwayelekile. Amasosha abona ukubaluleka okukhulu kulo msebenzi, okuhlanganisa nezinjongo zokuqasha.

Umfelandawonye phakathi kwebutho lezempi neHollywood yisizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi sinamafilimu amaningi amakhulu ngezihloko ezithile futhi ambalwa uma ekhona kwezinye. Izitudiyo zibhale imibhalo futhi zaqasha abalingisi abaphezulu bamafilimu ezintweni ezifana ne-Iran-Contra ezingakaze zibone ukukhanya kosuku ngenxa yokwenqatshwa kwePentagon. Ngakho-ke, akekho obuka amamuvi e-Iran-Contra ukuze ajabule ngendlela angabuka ngayo imuvi ye-Watergate ukuze ajabule. Ngakho-ke, bambalwa kakhulu abantu abanemibono mayelana ne-Iran-Contra.

Kepha ngeqiniso lalokho okwenziwa amasosha ase-US kubi kakhulu, yini, ongazibuza, yiziphi izihloko ezinhle ezenza amamuvi amaningi enziwe ngazo? Okuningi kuyiphupho noma ukuhlanekezela. Black Hawk Down yaba ngokoqobo (kanye nencwadi “eyayisekelwe”) ekhanda layo, njengoba kwenza Ingozi Ecacile Futhi Yamanje. Abanye, bayathanda Argo, zingela izindaba ezincane ngaphakathi kwezinkulu. Imibhalo itshela izethameli ngokusobala ukuthi akunandaba ukuthi ubani oqale impi ngenxa yani, okuwukuphela kwento ebalulekile ubuqhawe bamasosha azama ukusinda noma ukutakula isosha.

Kodwa-ke, omakadebona bezempi bangempela base-US bavamise ukuvalelwa ngaphandle futhi kungaboniswana nabo Bavame ukuthola amamuvi enqatshwe i-Pentagon ngokuthi "awanangqondo" ukuba abe ngokoqobo kakhulu, futhi lawo adalwe ngokubambisana kwePentagon angabi namaqiniso kakhulu. Kunjalo, inani elikhulu lamafilimu anethonya lezempi lenziwa mayelana nabafokazi bezempi yase-US kanye nezidalwa zemilingo - hhayi, ngokusobala, ngoba kukholakala kodwa ngoba igwema iqiniso. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amanye amafilimu anethonya lezempi alolonga imibono yabantu ngezizwe okuhlosiwe futhi alulaze abantu abahlala ezindaweni ezithile.

Ungabheki Phezulu akushiwongo ku Izinkundla Zempi, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungekho ukubandakanyeka kwezempi (ngubani owaziyo?, ngokuqinisekile akuwona umphakathi obukela ama-movie), nokho isebenzisa umqondo ojwayelekile wesiko lezempi (isidingo sokuqhumisa okuthile okuvela emkhathini, empeleni uhulumeni wase-US angathanda ukwenza futhi awukwazanga neze ukukumisa) njengesifaniso sesidingo sokuyeka ukucekela phansi isimo sezulu seplanethi (ongeke ukwazi ukuthola uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi asicabangele ukude) futhi akekho noyedwa umbuyekezi oqaphelayo ukuthi ifilimu iyisifaniso esihle noma esibi ngokulinganayo isidingo sokuyeka ukwakha izikhali zenuzi - ngoba isiko lase-US libe naleso sidingo esikhishwe ngempumelelo.

Umbutho wezempi ubhale imigomo yalokho elikuvumelayo nelingakugunyaziyo. Ayikuvumeli ukuvezwa kokwehluleka nobugebengu, okususa izinto eziningi ezingokoqobo. Iyawalahla amafilimu akhuluma ngokuzibulala komakadebona, ukucwasa kwezempi, ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kanye nokuhlukunyezwa kwezempi. Kodwa ishaya sengathi iyenqaba ukuhlanganyela kumafilimu ngoba “awayona engokoqobo.”

Kodwa-ke, uma ubuka ngokwanele lokho okukhiqizwa ngokubandakanyeka kwezempi uzocabanga ukuthi ukusebenzisa nokusinda empini yenuzi kunengqondo ngokuphelele. Lokhu kubuyela emuva ukusungulwa kwangempela kwePentagon-Hollywood yezinganekwane mayelana ne-Hiroshima ne-Nagasaki, futhi iqhubekela phambili ngethonya lezempi Usuku Emva, ingasaphathwa eyenguquko - ekhokhelwa abantu abaphonsela intela uma amadola abo entela esiza ukuvimbela umuntu ukubanda emgwaqeni - of Godzilla kusukela kusixwayiso senuzi kuya emuva. Kuskripthi sokuqala esokuqala Iron Man imuvi, iqhawe lakhuphuka ngokumelene nabathengisi bezikhali ezimbi. Amasosha ase-US aphinde abhala kabusha ukuze abe umthengisi wezikhali oyiqhawe owaphikisana ngokusobala ukuze athole uxhaso lwezempi oluthe xaxa. Okulandelayo kunamathele kuleyo timu. Amasosha ase-US akhangise ngezikhali zawo azithandayo Hulk, Superman, Fast and Furious, futhi Transformers, umphakathi wase-US ukhokha ngokuphumelelayo ukuze usekele ukukhokhela izikhathi eziyizinkulungwane - ngezikhali obungeke ube nesithakazelo kuzo.

"Amadokhumentari" eziteshini ze-Discovery, History, kanye ne-National Geographic yizikhangiso zezempi ezenziwe zempi. "I-Inside Combat Rescue" ku-National Geographic iyinkulumo-ze yokuqasha. UCaptain Marvel ikhona ukuze idayisele abesifazane i-Air Force. Umlingisikazi u-Jennifer Garner wenze izikhangiso zokuqasha ukuze zihambisane namamuvi awenzileyo okuyizikhangiso ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zokuqasha. Ifilimu ebizwa I-Recruit yabhalwa kakhulu yinhloko yehhovisi lezokuzijabulisa le-CIA. Ibonisa njenge-NCIS ikhiphela ngaphandle umugqa wamasosha. Kodwa kanjalo nemibukiso ongeke uyilindele: izinhlelo ze-TV “zangempela”, izinhlelo zegeyimu, izinhlelo zezingxoxo (ezinokuhlangana okungapheli kwamalungu omndeni), imidlalo yokupheka, imiqhudelwano, njll.

Ngi ebhaliwe ngaphambili mayelana nokuthi kanjani Iso elisesibhakabhakeni kwakusobala futhi ngokuziqhenya kokubili okuyimbudane okungenangqondo ngokuphelele futhi kuthonywe amasosha ase-US ukuba alolonge imibono yabantu mayelana nokubulawa kwe-drone. Abantu abaningi banombono omncane wokuthi kwenzekani. Kodwa Amathiyetha Empi: I-Pentagon ne-CIA Zayithatha kanjani iHollywood isisiza ukuba sibambe ubukhulu bayo. Futhi uma sesikwenzile lokho, singathola imininingwane yokuthi kungani ukuvota kuthola umhlaba omningi wesaba amasosha ase-US njengosongo lokuthula, kodwa iningi lomphakathi wase-US likholelwa ukuthi izimpi zase-US zizuzisa abantu ababongayo ngazo. Singase siqale ukuqagela ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi abantu base-United States babekezelele futhi badumise ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi nokubhujiswa, ukwesekwa okusongela ukusebenzisa noma ukusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi, futhi sicabange ukuthi i-US inezitha ezinkulu ezisongelayo. “inkululeko” yayo. Ababukeli be Izinkundla Zempi angeke bonke basabele ngokushesha ngokuthi “Holy shit! Umhlaba kumele ucabange ukuthi singamahlanya!” Kodwa abambalwa bangase bazibuze ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi izimpi zingabonakali njengoba zibonakala kumamuvi - futhi lokho kungaba yisiqalo esihle.

Izinkundla Zempi iphetha ngesincomo, sokuthi amamuvi adingeke ukuthi adalule ekuqaleni noma yikuphi ukusebenzisana kwezempi noma kwe-CIA. Le filimu iphinde iphawule ukuthi i-United States inemithetho emelene nokusakazwa kwezindaba zomphakathi wase-US, engase yenze ukudalulwa okunjalo kube ukuvuma ubugebengu. ngingakwengeza lokho skusukela ngo-1976, Isivumelwano Somhlaba Wonke Emalungelo Ezimboni Nezopolitiki uye wadinga ukuthi “Noma iyiphi inkulumo-ze yempi iyokwenqatshelwa ngokomthetho.”

Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngale filimu, ibuke, noma isingathe ukukhonjiswa kwayo, hamba lapha.
