Masiku achilendo mu Australia. "Paranoia m'dziko lamwayi", itero mitu yankhani Sydney, “Ziwopsezo zauchigawenga zagwira dziko”. Boma la John Howard lapereka zotsatsa zamasamba zonse zopempha anthu aku Australia kuti ateteze “gulu lawo laubwenzi, labwino” kwa zigawenga zomwe zili mkati mwa akazitape. Anthu opitilira chikwi agwiritsa ntchito hotline "kuti afotokoze zinthu", zomwe zidabweretsa chisoni kwa Asilamu aku Australia. Atafunsidwa ngati akuganiza kuti ndikwabwino kuti azimayi achisilamu adzipangitse kukhala "osadziŵika bwino panthawiyi" posavala chovala chachikhalidwe chawo, Howard anayankha kuti: "Mwachiwonekere."

 

Howard's ndiye boma lokhalo padziko lapansi lofunitsitsa komanso lofunitsitsa kulowa nawo pachiwopsezo cha Bush / Blair pa Iraq, dziko lakutali lomwe limagula AustraliaZokolola zoyambirira zomwe anthu aku Australia alibe mkangano. Kwa anthu aku Australia omwe sanagonje ku amnesia ya nthawiyo, izi ndizodziwika bwino, zomwe zimabweretsa mbiri yoyipa yautumiki wovuta ku mphamvu yayikulu: kuchokera ku Boxer Rebellion kupita kunkhondo ya Boer, ku tsoka la Gallipoli, ndi Korea, Vietnam ndi Gulf.

 

Zaka zingapo zapitazo, ndidafunsa msilikali wina wa ku Australia yemwe adagwirapo ntchito pagulu lopha anthu la CIA. Vietnam, ndipo anandikumbutsa mwachisoni mawu a mkulu wake wankhondo waku America.

Pokana chowonadi cha udindo wochititsa manyaziwu, komanso kunena nthano za chakudya chankhondo cha unyamata wake, akuluakulu achifumu aku Australia adasunga anthu mu zomwe wachiwiri kwa nduna yayikulu adazitcha kuti "kalabu ya bowa". “Monga bowa,” iye anafotokoza motero, “amasungidwa mumdima ndi kudyetsedwa zonyansa.” Chitsanzo chowoneka bwino cha izi ndi AustraliaUdindo wapano mu “nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga”. Posachedwapa, mutu wa AustraliaGulu la SAS lidalengeza kuti asitikali ake amphamvu "adathandizira kuswa kumbuyo kwa al-Qaeda" Afghanistan. Kupambana kodabwitsa kumeneku, kosadziwika kwa dziko lonse lapansi, kunanenedwa popanda nthabwala, osanenapo zoona za zomwe magulu ankhondo aku Australia adachita Afghanistan - kupha anthu amitundu osadziwa kuti ndi ndani.

 

Zolemba za Mushroom Club zaperekedwa. Woyendetsa ndege wa ku Australia akutuluka m'masamba a nkhani ndi American Bronze Star, yomwe adapatsidwa chifukwa chowuluka ndege za Black Hawk "pankhondo". Ziŵerengero zosaŵerengeka za anthu a m’midzi ya ku Afghanistani osalakwa anaphedwa ndi ziwawa za mfuti zimenezi; koma izo ziri pambali pake.

Osamvedwa komanso osamvedwa ndi dziko lonse lapansi, Howard ndiye mbewa yathu yomwe imabangula. Pafupifupi chilichonse chomwe chimagwa pamilomo ya George Bush kapena Donald Rumsfeld chimabwerezedwa ndi iye. Pamene Bush adalengeza izo America angawukire dziko lililonse ngati "chisanachitike" cholimbana ndi "anthu omwe ali ndi zigawenga", Howard adalowa ndikuwopseza.

Mosiyana ndi izi, "paranoia" ndi "chiwopsezo" ndizomwe zimachitika tsiku ndi tsiku. Gulu la Bowa "lokhalokha" mu tabloid ya Murdoch, Herald Sun, limati "zigawenga zimaphunzitsa m'nkhalango m'misasa yachinsinsi" pafupi. Melbourne.

Makumi asanu ndi awiri pa 100 aliwonse a nyuzipepala za m'mizinda ikuluikulu ndi ake kapena olamulidwa ndi Rupert Murdoch; mu Adelaide amalamulira chilichonse, kuphatikizapo makina osindikizira. Dziko lokhalo tsiku lililonse, la Australia, ndi la Murdoch. Australian Broadcasting Corporation, yothandizidwa mwachindunji kuchokera Canberra, amachita mantha nthawi zonse. Zambiri mwa zina ndi Murdochism ndi dzina lina.

 

Izi zikunyozetsa demokalase ya ku Australia, koma sichoncho kuposa pano, pamene kupangidwa kwa nkhondo kuno kumaposa kupanda nzeru kulikonse kopangidwa ndi Jack Straw. Mkonzi wakunja waku Australia, Greg Sheridan, siwongoyerekeza. Sheridan adapeza mbiri yowopsa ngati wopepesa paulamuliro wopha anthu a Suharto, akunyoza kafukufuku wanyumba yamalamulo yaku Australia yomwe idawonetsa kuti 200,000 East Timorese adamwalira ndi nkhanza za Suharto. Tsopano msilikali wa George W Bush, Sheridan's ntchito ndi yoposa parody. "Pilgerist Chomskyism ikulimbikitsa otsatira Osama Bin Lenin, pepani, Laden," adalengeza mwezi watha. “Ndikuyenda posachedwa kum’mwera chakum’mawa Asia,” iye analemba kuti, “Ndinachita chidwi ndi mmene nthawi zambiri, m’maofesi a omenyera ufulu wachisilamu ndi apaulendo anzanga, ndinawona ntchito za Noam Chomsky, ndipo nthaŵi zambiri athu a John Pilger [amene] amapereka Asilamu zambiri zawo. nkhani yomasulira yakumadzulo.” Nkhani za chiwembu cha anthu awiri izi zidawonetsedwa patsamba lalikulu ndikuwonetseredwa ndi Msilamu wojambula akuchotsa "zowona" ndikuwerenga mabuku a Chomsky ndi anga.

 

Pa mitundu ina ya "mantha", pafupi ndi nyumba, hysteria ndi yosiyana. Omangidwa kuseri kwa waya wa lumo m’malo ena oipa kwambiri padziko lapansi, m’mene, mwa kutanthauzira kulikonse, ndi misasa yachibalo, ndi othawa kwawo amene sanalakwe chilichonse. Ambiri akuchokera Iraq ndi Afghanistan, mayiko omwe Howard akukonzekera kutumiza asilikali "chifukwa cha ufulu". Kusankhana mitundu kumaonekera. Kutsekeredwa kovomerezeka sikukhudza anthu masauzande a Britons ndi Azungu ena omwe amasunga ziphaso zawo mopitilira muyeso.

 

Prime Minister wakale wosamala a Malcolm Fraser wafotokoza misasa imeneyi ngati "mabowo a gehena". Anthu a ku Australia anaona zoopsa zawo pamene pulogalamu ya ABC inafotokoza nkhani ya mnyamata wazaka zisanu ndi chimodzi wa ku Iran. Atakhala gawo limodzi mwa magawo anayi a moyo wake kumbuyo kwa waya wa msasa wa Woomera m'chipululu cha South Australia, adawona anthu akuluakulu omwe anali osimidwa akudziwotcha ndipo munthu wofuna kudzipha akudzicheka yekha. Ali chete ndi wopsinjika maganizo, iye anakana chakudya ndi zakumwa ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku anakhala akujambula zithunzi za lumo. Bungwe la Catholic Commission for Justice, Development and Peace lati mikhalidwe m’misasayi ndi “kuzunza ana m’masukulu”.

 

Pamene mkulu wa United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, Louis Joinet, pomalizira pake analoledwa kupita ku Woomera ndi misasa ina, iye anati sanaonepo kuphwanyidwa koipitsitsa kwa ufulu wachibadwidwe pakuwunika kopitilira 40 kwa malo ovomerezeka padziko lonse lapansi. . Mtumiki woyang’anira misasayo, Philip Ruddock, nthaŵi ina anandinyadira kuti imfa ya makanda amtundu wa Aborigine inali “yokha” katatu kuposa ya ana achizungu. Boma la Howard limatsutsa ndondomeko yomwe idapangidwa kuti ilimbikitse UN Convention Against Torture. Alexander Downer, nduna yakunja, mosadziwa anafotokoza chifukwa chake. Ananenanso kuti sanasangalale ndi lingaliro la akuluakulu a UN a Komiti Yotsutsa Chizunzo kufika mosayembekezereka kudzayendera ndende zake zosungira anthu othawa kwawo.

 

Tsankho silitalikirana ndi ndale zaku Australia. John Howard adalimbikitsa gulu la "One Australia" m'zaka za m'ma 1980, kalambulabwalo wa kampeni ya Pauline Hanson, ndi uthenga wake wophimbidwa wokomera anthu oyera. Pambuyo pazaka zakulephera kwa ndale, adatenga mphamvu mu 1996, yemwe adalandira mwayi wodzudzula anthu motsatizanatsatizana ndi maboma a Labor omwe kusuntha kwawo ndi kusakhulupirika kwa omwe amadziwika kuti "okhulupirira owona" akuvomerezedwa ndi a Blairites. Britain monga prototypes.

 

Howard tsopano akuyamikiridwa m'manyuzipepala chifukwa cha "luso lake landale". Atamenya nkhondo yolimbana ndi anthu amtundu wa Aboriginal, kuwakana ufulu wadziko lonse lapansi ndikubweretsa chigamulo chochititsa manyazi cha tsankho kuchokera ku komiti ya UN yokhudzana ndi tsankho, ndondomeko ya boma la Australia ikuyang'ana momveka bwino kuti agwiritse ntchito "chiwopsezo" cha othawa kwawo omwe si a ku Ulaya - pamene, Ndi mulingo uliwonse, palibe kuopseza. Anthu pafupifupi 4,000 ofunafuna chitetezo amafika pa boti mosaloledwa Australia chaka chilichonse, mmodzi wa anthu otsika kwambiri padziko lonse.

 

Panthawi yachisankho chapitachi, mu October 2001, zadziwika kuti Howard ndi nduna zake ananama kuti anthu othawa kwawo akuponya ana awo m'nyanja, zomwe zinaperekedwa ngati umboni wa nkhanza zawo. Kusankhidwa kwakenso kunayamikiridwa chifukwa cha "kuyimira kovuta". Pomwe amauza anthu omwe amawakonda kwambiri pawailesi chifukwa chake zinali zachifundo kukhala zolimba, bwato lomwe likudumpha likupita Australia adapha anthu 353 - kuphatikiza ana 150. Imadziwika kuti Siev-X, idadzaza ndi othawa kwawo aku Iraq komanso m'madzi aku Australia, ngakhale boma limatsutsa izi.

 

Kufunsa kwa senate yaku Australia Marichi watha kudawulula kuti asitikali apamadzi aku Australia anali akudziwa kale kuti Siev-X ili pachiwopsezo. M’mawu ena, anthu amene anali m’ngalawamo akanatha kupulumutsidwa. Mu Epulo, Admiral Kumbuyo Geoffrey Smith, wamkulu wa gulu lankhondo

Dipatimenti yankhondo yapamadzi ya “chitetezo cha m’malire” inachitira umboni katatu ndi kulumbira kuti sakudziwa kalikonse za ngalawayo mpaka itamira. Jane Halton, mlangizi wapadera wa nduna yaikulu ya anthu ofuna chitetezo, anakananso chimodzimodzi. Ndiye pa 22 May, mkulu wa AustraliaCoastwatch yaulula kuti asitikali apanyanja anali akudziwa nthawi yonseyi tsiku lomwe botilo limanyamuka, komwe likufuna kupita, kusakhala panyanja komanso kuchulukana kwakukulu. Smith mwachangu adabweza kukana kwake koyambirira, ndipo pa 15 June, Admiral Chris Ritchie, wamkulu wa gulu lankhondo lapamadzi, adavomereza kuti bwatolo "silinabwere mdera lomwe timasaka ndipo sitinasinthe malo athu osaka kuti tiyang'ane [ilo]" .

 

Ndizokayikitsa ngati asitikali apanyanja amalola sitimayo kuti izimire, koma chodziwika bwino ndichakuti AustraliaAsilikali achitetezo akhazikika mu mfundo zachinyengo, zopanda tsankho komanso zatsankho zomwe zidapangidwa kuti boma la Howard likhale ndi mphamvu. Ogwira ntchito zapamadzi alamulidwa kuti akhale osunga ndende; komanso asanakhale ndi ngwazi zawo zovomerezeka mu Afghanistan, Asilikali a SAS a ku Australia anatumizidwa kukamenyana ndi sitima ya ku Norway yomwe kapitawo wake anapulumutsa anthu omwe ankafuna chitetezo kuti asamire m'madzi a ku Australia. Atolankhani ochepa akhama anena izi kwa nthawi yayitali momwe angathere, koma kungokhala chete kumatsikira pa zomwe George Orwell adazitcha "zovuta zazing'ono". Mtengo womwe anthu aku Australia akulipira chifukwa chakukhala chete uku ndipo kutsatira sikudziwika nthawi yomweyo m'masiku achilimwe ano. Koma ulamuliro wa demokalase wa chikhalidwe cha anthu wa ku Australia, umene unapezedwa ndi kulimbana kwa anthu wamba a m’mibadwo ya makolo anga ndi agogo, ukupasulidwa ngati sunathetsedwa. (Malipiro ochepera, tsiku logwira ntchito la maola asanu ndi atatu, penshoni, mapindu a ana, voti yachinsinsi zonse zidapambana koyamba Australia.)

Palibe zokambirana zapagulu za kugonja uku.

 

Ndipo monga gulu la Bush likuwononga AmericaBill of Rights, kotero gulu la a Howard likutsatira, monga Scott Burchill wa Zovuta University in Melbourne analemba kuti, "nkhondo zolimbana ndi ziwopsezo zongoyerekeza kapena mokokomeza [monga] chida chothandizira kuyanjana ndi anthu komanso njira yothanirana ndi kusagwirizana pandale". M'dziko lodzaza ndi ophunzira, Burchill ndi m'modzi mwa anthu ochepa omwe adalimba mtima kuyankhula. Ponena za otsutsa a federal Labor, mtsogoleri wawo wosawoneka, a Simon Crean, wayamikira kupha kwa CIA kwa "anthu omwe akuwakayikira". Popanda kufufuzidwa ndi anthu, boma la Labor of New South Wales ikukhazikitsa malamulo omwe amapatsa apolisi ake mphamvu zopondereza mu "nkhondo yolimbana ndi zigawenga".

Wanzeru waku America Mark Twain ankakonda Australia. Ananena kuti ndi "malo omwe munthu wamba amakhala mfumu, kapena akuganiza kuti ali". M’buku lakuti The Mysterious Stranger (1916), Twain analembanso za “atsogoleri a boma [amene] amapeka mabodza opanda pake, akumaimba mlandu mtundu umene ukuukiridwa, ndipo munthu aliyense adzakondwera ndi mabodza otonthoza chikumbumtima ameneŵa . . . ndipo adzathokoza Mulungu chifukwa chogona bwino kwambiri pambuyo pa kudzinyenga koipitsitsa kumeneku”.
