Isiprofetho sikaMarshall McLuhan sokuthi “umlandeli wezombangazwe uyoba yinkulumo-ze” siye senzeka. I-propaganda eluhlaza manje isiwumbuso emibusweni yentando yeningi yaseNtshonalanga, ikakhulukazi i-US neBrithani.
Ezindabeni zempi nokuthula, ukukhohlisa kongqongqoshe kubikwa njengezindaba. Amaqiniso angalungile ayahlolwa, amademoni ayakhuliswa. Imodeli i-corporate spin, imali yeminyaka. Ngo-1964, uMcLuhan wamemezela ngokudumile, "Isigijimi siyisigijimi." Amanga awumyalezo manje.
Kodwa ingabe lokhu kusha? Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu kusukela u-Edward Bernays, uyise we-spin, asungula "ubudlelwane bomphakathi" njengesimbozo senkulumo-ze yempi. Okusha wukuqedwa okubonakalayo kokungaboni ngaso linye endaweni ejwayelekile.
Umhleli omkhulu uDavid Bowman, umbhali weThe Captive Press, ukubize lokhu “ukuvikela bonke abenqaba ukulandela umugqa nokugwinya okunganambithiki futhi abanesibindi”. Ubekhuluma ngezintatheli ezizimele kanye nabashaya ikhwelo, izigilamkhuba ezithembekile izinhlangano zabezindaba ezake zabanikeza indawo, ngokuvamile ngokuziqhenya. Isikhala sichithiwe.
Isiyaluyalu sempi esingene njengegagasi elikhulu emasontweni nasezinyangeni zamuva yisibonelo esigqama kakhulu. Yaziwa nge-jargon yayo, "ukubumba ukulandisa", okuningi uma kungeyona inkulumo-ze emsulwa.
AmaRussia ayeza. I-Russia yimbi kakhulu kunokubi. UPutin mubi, “umNazi ofana noHitler”, waconsa amathe iLungu lePhalamende uChris Bryant. I-Ukraine isizohlaselwa yiRussia - namuhla kusihlwa, kuleli sonto, ngesonto elizayo. Imithombo ihlanganisa umsakazi we-CIA wangaphambili osekhulumela uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika futhi anganikezi bufakazi bezimangalo zakhe mayelana nezenzo zaseRussia ngoba "zivela kuHulumeni wase-US".
Umthetho ongenabufakazi uyasebenza naseLondon. UNobhala WaseBrithani Wezangaphandle, u-Liz Truss, osebenzise u-£500,000 wemali yomphakathi endizela e-Australia ngendiza yangasese ukuze axwayise uhulumeni waseCanberra ukuthi iRussia neChina sebezogasela, akazange anikeze ubufakazi. Amakhanda e-Antipodean anqekuzisa ikhanda; "indaba" ayinakuphikiswa lapho. Okunye okungavamile, owayengundunankulu uPaul Keating, wabiza ukufudumala kukaTruss ngokuthi “ukusangana”.
I-Truss idideke ngokukhululekile amazwe aseBaltic noLwandle Olumnyama. E-Moscow, utshele ungqongqoshe wezangaphandle waseRussia ukuthi iBrithani ayisoze yakwamukela ubukhosi baseRussia phezu kweRostov neVoronezh - kuze kube yilapho etshelwa ukuthi lezi zindawo aziyona ingxenye ye-Ukraine kodwa ziseRussia. Funda iphephandaba lesi-Russian mayelana nobuffoonery yalo muntu ozenza u-10 Downing Street bese uyanyakaza.
Lonke lolu daba, olusanda kufaka u-Boris Johnson eMoscow edlala inguqulo yeqhawe lakhe, uChurchill, lungajatshulelwa njengokubhuqa ukube bekungengenxa yokusetshenziswa kabi kwamaqiniso nokuqonda komlando kanye nobungozi bangempela bempi.
UVladimir Putin ubhekisela "ekuqothulweni kohlanga" esifundeni esisempumalanga yeDonbas e-Ukraine. Kulandela ukuketulwa umbuso kwase-Ukraine ngo-2014 - okwakugqugquzelwa "umuntu ophusile" ka-Barack Obama e-Kyiv, eVictoria Nuland - umbuso wokuketula umbuso, owawugcwele amaNazi, waqala umkhankaso wokwesabisa ngokumelene nama-Donbas akhuluma isiRashiya, ayingxenye yesithathu ye-Ukraine. inani labantu.
Iqondiswe umqondisi weCIA uJohn Brennan eKyiv, "amayunithi ezokuphepha akhethekile" axhumanisa ukuhlasela okunonya kubantu baseDonbas, ababemelene nokuketulwa umbuso. Imibiko ye-video neyofakazi bokuzibonela ikhombisa izigebengu ebezigibele amabhasi zishisa ikomkhulu lenyunyana edolobheni lase-Odessa, kwashona abantu abangu-41 abebevaleleke ngaphakathi. Amaphoyisa amile. U-Obama uhalalisele umbuso “okhethwe ngokufanelekile” “ngokuzithiba kwawo okumangalisayo”.
Kwabezindaba zase-US unya lwase-Odessa lwadlalwa phansi njengokuthi “ludabukile” kanye “nenhlekelele” lapho “abashisekeli bobuzwe” (amaNazi amasha) bahlasela “abahlukanisile” (abantu abaqoqa amasignesha ukuze kuvotwe inhlolovo ye-Ukraine yombuso). I-Wall Street Journal kaRupert Murdoch ilahle izisulu - "Umlilo Obulalayo wase-Ukraine okungenzeka Ubangelwe Amavukela-mbuso, kusho uHulumeni".
UProfesa Stephen Cohen, owaziwa njengegunya eliholayo laseMelika eRussia, wabhala, “Ukushiswa okufana nokubulala abantu baseRussia nabanye e-Odessa kwavuselela izinkumbulo zamaqembu abulawa amaNazi e-Ukraine phakathi nempi yezwe yesibili. [Namuhla] ukuhlasela okufana nesiphepho kongqingili, amaJuda, amaRussia akhulile ezinhlanga, kanye nezinye izakhamuzi 'ezingcolile' kusabalele kulo lonke elase-Ukraine ebuswa yi-Kyiv, kanye namamashi okukhanya kwethoshi okukhumbuza lawo agcina eshise iJalimane ngasekupheleni kwawo-1920 kanye nawo-1930...
“Amaphoyisa kanye neziphathimandla zezomthetho ezisemthethweni azenzi lutho ukuvimbela lezi zenzo zobufascist noma ukuzishushisa. Ngokuphambene nalokho, uKyiv ubakhuthaze ngokusemthethweni ngokuvuselela ngokuhlelekile ngisho nangokukhumbula ababambisene nabo base-Ukraine nezisulu zokuqothulwa kwamaJalimane amaNazi, beqamba kabusha imigwaqo ngokuhlonishwa kwabo, bakhe izikhumbuzo zabo, babhale kabusha umlando ukuze babakhazimulise, nokunye okwengeziwe.”
Namuhla, i-neo-Nazi Ukraine akuvamile ukukhulunywa ngayo. Ukuthi abaseBrithani baqeqesha i-Ukraine National Guard, ehlanganisa neo-Nazis, akuzona izindaba. (Bheka umbiko we-Declassified kaMatt Kennard ku-Consortium 15 February). Ukubuya kwe-fascism enodlame, egunyazwe eYurophu yekhulu lama-21, ukucaphuna uHarold Pinter, "akukaze kwenzeke ... noma kwenzeka".
Mhla ziyi-16 kuZibandlela, iNhlangano yeziZwe yethula isinqumo esithi “kulwe nokudunyiswa kobuNazi, ubuNazi obusha kanye neminye imikhuba enomthelela ekubhebhezeleni izinhlobo zanamuhla zokucwasa ngokwebala”. Amazwe okuwukuphela kwawo avote ngokumelene nalo kwakuyi-United States ne-Ukraine.
Cishe wonke umuntu waseRussia uyazi ukuthi kwakungaphesheya “komngcele” wase-Ukraine lapho izigaba zikaHitler zakhukhula zisuka entshonalanga ngo-1941, ziqiniswa amahlelo amaNazi ase-Ukraine nabahlanganyeli. Umphumela waba ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-20 zaseRussia ezifile.
Ukubekela eceleni amasu nokugxeka kwe-geopolitics, noma ngabe abadlali bani, le nkumbulo yomlando iyimbangela yeziphakamiso zezokuphepha ezifuna inhlonipho nezivikelayo zaseRussia, ezashicilelwa eMoscow ngesonto i-UN ivotele ngo-130-2 ukwephula ubuNazi. Kunjalo:
- I-NATO iqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke ifake imicibisholo emazweni asemngceleni weRussia. (Sezivele zikhona zisuka eSlovenia ziya eRomania, kanti iPoland izolandela)
- I-NATO ukumisa ukuzivocavoca kwezempi nezempi ezizweni nasezilwandle ezisemngceleni weRussia.
- I-Ukraine ngeke ibe yilungu le-NATO.
- INtshonalanga neRussia ukusayina isivumelwano esibophezelayo sezokuphepha eMpumalanga-Ntshonalanga.
- isivumelwano esiyingqopha-mlando phakathi kwe-US ne-Russia esihlanganisa izikhali zenuzi ezisezingeni eliphakathi ezizobuyiselwa. (I-US yawushiya ngo-2019)
Lokhu kuhlanganisa uhlaka oluphelele lohlelo lokuthula lwayo yonke iYurophu yangemva kwempi futhi kufanele yamukelwe eNtshonalanga. Kodwa ubani okuqondayo ukubaluleka kwazo eBrithani? Abatshelwa kona ukuthi uPutin uyisidlakela futhi uyingozi kweLobukholwa.
Abantu base-Ukraine abakhuluma isiRashiya, ngaphansi kokuvinjwa kwezomnotho yi-Kyiv iminyaka eyisikhombisa, balwela ukusinda kwabo. Ibutho “elikhulu” esingavamile ukuzwa ngalo ngamabutho amabutho ase-Ukraine ayishumi nantathu avimbezela i-Donbas: amasosha alinganiselwa ku-150,000. Uma behlasela, ukucasulwa kweRussia cishe kuzosho impi.
Ngo-2015, ehlanganiswe amaJalimane namaFulentshi, omongameli baseRussia, Ukraine, Germany kanye neFrance bahlangana eMinsk futhi basayina isivumelwano sokuthula sesikhashana. I-Ukraine yavuma ukunikeza inkululeko ku-Donbas, manje osekuyizwe elizimele laseDonetsk naseLuhansk.
Isivumelwano saseMinsk asikaze sinikezwe ithuba. EBrithani, umugqa, othuthukiswe ngu-Boris Johnson, ukuthi i-Ukraine “ibizelwa” ngabaholi bomhlaba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iBrithani ihlomisa i-Ukraine futhi iqeqesha amasosha ayo.
Kusukela ngeMpi Yomshoshaphansi yokuqala, i-NATO imashe yaze yafinyelela emngceleni waseRussia obucayi kakhulu njengoba ikhombise ulaka lwayo oluchitha igazi eYugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya kanye nezithembiso eziphoqelekile zokuhlehla. Ngemva kokudonsela "abalingani" baseYurophu ezimpini zaseMelika ezingabathinti, okukhulu okungakhulunywanga ngakho ukuthi i-NATO ngokwayo iwusongo lwangempela ekuvikelekeni kweYurophu.
EBrithani, ukucwaswa kwabokufika kombuso kanye nabezindaba kuqalwa lapho kukhulunywa “ngeRussia”. Maka inzondo eqhuma amadolo iBBC ebika ngayo iRussia. Kungani? Ingabe kungenxa yokuthi ukubuyiselwa kwezinganekwane zombuso kufuna, ngaphezu kwakho konke, isitha esihlala njalo? Ngokuqinisekile, sifanelwe okungcono.
