为内战做准备？– Preparing For Civil War?

US authorities have for decades become increasingly prepared for mass civil disturbances resulting from government and corporate attacks on American society.We can recall that in the early 1980s the Hidden State launched its open war on the middle class by the savage FED induced recession and the unilateral revocation of the social contract that had existed since 1946.

几十年来，美国当局越来越为政府和企业对美国社会的攻击造成的大规模内乱做好准备。我们可以回顾，20世纪80年代初，隐藏的国家通过美联储引发的野蛮衰退和单方面撤销自1946年以来存在的社会契约，对中产阶级发动了公开战争。

At that time, the US government had already anticipated widespread public unrest, fully expecting mass protests and riots, and had made preparations to deal with them in the form of internment camps.In a real sense, the government had prepared for another civil war.

当时，美国政府已经预料到广泛的公众骚乱，完全预料到大规模抗议和骚乱，并准备以拘留营的形式应对。从真正意义上讲，政府已经为另一场内战做好了准备。

Like most of the “Great Transformation”, it began during Reagan’s reign with what was called“Rex 84”, an abbreviation for Readiness Exercise 1984, a plan by the US government to detain large numbers of American citizens in case of civil unrest.This master plan involved the FBI, Department of Defense, the Emergency Measures group, the Secret Service, the CIA and altogether 34 government agencies.

与大多数“大转型”一样，它始于里根统治时期的“Rex 84”，这是1984年战备演习的缩写，美国政府计划在发生内乱时拘留大量美国公民。该总体规划涉及联邦调查局、国防部、紧急措施小组、特勤局、中央情报局和总共34个政府机构。

It was presented as an exercise to test military assistance in civil defense in times of national emergency,but in fact the plan was anticipating civil disturbances, major demonstrations and labor strikes that would affect continuity of government.

该计划被描述为在国家紧急状态下测试民防军事援助的演习，但事实上，该计划预计会出现影响政府连续性的内乱、重大示威和劳工罢工。

The anticipated civil unrest from the FED-induced financial crisis that devastated the middle class was considered “subversive”, REX-84 being an authorisation for the US military to implement government controlled movements of civilian populations at both state and regional levels, the arrest of many segments of the American population, and the imposition of martial law. (1) (2)The Rex-84 program was created under the pretense of a possible mass exodus of illegal aliens attempting to cross into the US from Mexico, but when the program accidentally became public during the Iran-Contra Congressional hearings in 1987 it was revealed that it was in fact a secret federal government program“to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, assign military commanders to take over state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens determined by the government to be ‘national security threats’.”

美联储引发的金融危机导致的预期内乱摧毁了中产阶级，被认为是“颠覆性的”，REX-84授权美国军方在州和地区层面实施政府控制的平民动，逮捕许多美国人口，并实施戒严令。（1）（2）Rex-84计划是在试图从墨西哥越境进入美国的非法外国人可能大规模外流的借口下创建的，但当该计划在1987年的伊朗门国会听证会上意外公开时，人们发现它实际上是一个秘密的联邦政府计划，“暂停宪法，宣布戒严，指派军事指挥官接管州和地方政府，并拘留大量被政府认定为‘国家安全威胁’的美国公民。”

This was part of a master contingency plan for which the FBI today has a primary list of more than 100,000 Americans, and a secondary list ten times larger, who are targeted to be rounded up as subversives, including labor leaders, scholars and public figures, the incarceration designed to isolate political dissidents and to contain civil unrest.

这是一项总体应急计划的一部分，联邦调查局今天有一份10多万美国人的主要名单，以及一份十倍以上的次要名单，他们的目标是被围捕为颠覆分子，包括劳工领袖、学者和公众人物，监禁旨在孤立持不同政见者和遏制内乱。

And these are prison camps, ringed with fences, barbed wire and armed guards, not places from which escape would be likely, and they were designed to hold Americans, not Mexicans. (3) There is no question the US government is prepared for the possibility of widespread and uncontrollable domestic disorder. This program in place and building for years was encouraged by fears of a massive public uprising in the wake of the 2008 banking fraud.

这些是监狱营地，周围有围栏、铁丝网和武装警卫，不是逃跑的地方，它们的目的是关押美国人，而不是墨西哥人。（3）毫无疑问，美国政府已经为可能出现的广泛而无法控制的国内混乱做好了准备。2008年银行欺诈案发生后，人们担心会发生大规模的公众起义，这鼓励了这一计划的实施和建设多年。

Antonin Scalia

安东宁·斯卡利亚

US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said some years ago that concentration camps were a likely future reality for Americans and that the Supreme Court would not do anything about the tyranny should the executive branch think it necessary. He mentioned the World War II internment of Japanese in the US and said of these camps,“you are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again”. (4) (5)

美国最高法院大法官安东宁·斯卡利亚几年前表示，集中营可能是美国人未来的现实，如果行政部门认为有必要，最高法院不会对暴政采取任何行动。他提到第二次世界大战期间日本人被关押在美国，并谈到这些集中营，“如果你认为同样的事情不会再发生，那你是在自欺欺人”。(4) (5)

In 2009, as the US financial crisis deepened and concern about public unrest was increasing, the US National Guard was posting job opportunities for “Internment/Resettlement Specialists” to work in “civilian internee camps” within the United States, and Halliburton [former] subsidiary KBR was seeking subcontractors to staff “emergency environment” camps located in five regions of the US. Earlier, in 2006, KBR was contracted by Homeland Security to build detention centers designed to deal with “the rapid development of unspecified “new programs” that would require large numbers of people to be interned.” (6) (7)

2009年，随着美国金融危机的加深和对公众骚乱的担忧的增加，美国国民警卫队为“拘留/重新安置专家”发布了在美国境内“平民拘留营”工作的工作机会，哈里伯顿[前]子公司KBR正在寻找分包商，为位于美国五个地区的“紧急环境”营地配备人员。早些时候，在2006年，KBR与国土安全部签订合同，建造拘留中心，以应对“未指明的”新项目的快速发展，这些项目将需要大量人员被拘留。”(6) (7)

The US has for many years been dangerously close to a situation where, if the American people take to the streets in protest, these internments can be easily carried out. By 2004, there were more than 800 of these internment camps in the US, all empty, but all fully operational, staffed, and surrounded by full-time guards, ready to receive prisoners. I have seen photos. As well, many military bases are slated to be closed down and used as extra civilian prisons if the need arises, all intended for the internment of dissidents and others deemed “potentially harmful to the state”. Some camps can each hold 20,000 or more prisoners, a massive effort at civilian population control, and the program is still expanding. The US is very near the point today where political dissidents questioning the actions of their government will risk being rounded up and forced into these prison camps, essentially a government plan to forcibly suppress political dissent under the guise of rooting out domestic “terrorism”.

多年来，美国一直处于危险的境地，如果美国人民走上街头抗议，这些拘留很容易进行。到2004年，美国有800多个这样的拘留营，都是空的，但都在全面运作，有人值守，周围有全职警卫，随时准备接收囚犯。我看过照片。此外，如果需要，许多军事基地将被关闭并用作额外的民用监狱，所有这些都是为了关押持不同政见者和其他被认为“可能对国家有害”的人。一些营地每个可以容纳2万名或更多囚犯，这是控制平民人口的一项巨大努力，该计划仍在扩大。今天，美国非常接近这样一个时刻，即质疑政府行为的持不同政见者将面临被围捕并被迫进入这些战俘营的风险，这基本上是政府在根除国内“恐怖主义”的幌子下强行镇压政治异议的计划。

The US government defines many Americans as having become “pre-revolutionary”from their outrage at the 2008 government-approved housing collapse, with increasing concern that massive civil unrest would emerge from both the poverty-stricken lower classes and the eviscerated middle class, leading to what would become an internal civil war.This is the reason that the FBI and DHS increasingly focus their“anti-terror”apparatus on white middle-class Americans like the Occupy Wall Street protestors who were categorised as “low-level terrorists”.

美国政府将许多美国人定义为“革命前”，因为他们对2008年政府批准的住房崩溃感到愤怒，越来越担心贫困的下层阶级和被掏空的中产阶级都会出现大规模的内乱，导致内部内战。这就是为什么联邦调查局和国土安全部越来越多地将他们的“反恐”机构集中在白人中产阶级美国人身上，比如被归类为“低级恐怖分子”的占领华尔街抗议者。

In 2008, the Washington Post reported government plans to station many tens of thousands of troops inside the country for purposes referred to as “domestic security” in the light of massive civil unrest that would follow an economic collapse or serious financial crisis, perhaps stemming from 2008.

2008年，《华盛顿邮报》报道称，鉴于经济崩溃或严重金融危机（可能源于2008年）后将发生大规模内乱，政府计划在国内部署数万名士兵，用于所谓的“国内安全”目的。

According to the government document,

根据政府文件，

“Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security”,stating that the military may be needed to quell“purposeful domestic resistance”. To prepare for this quelling of resistance, the US has resorted to demonising its own citizens, a recent study funded by DHS conveniently identifying those Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”and who exhibit signs of being“reverent of individual liberty”, and re-categorising them as“extreme right-wing” terrorists. (8) (9) (10)

“美国国内普遍存在的内乱将迫使国防机构在极端情况下重新调整优先事项，以捍卫基本的国内秩序和人类安全”，声明可能需要军队来平息“有目的的国内抵抗”。为了准备镇压抵抗，美国采取了妖魔化本国公民的做法，国土安全部最近资助的一项研究方便地确定了那些“怀疑中央联邦权力”和表现出“尊重个人自由”迹象的美国人，并将他们重新归类为“极右翼”恐怖分子。(8) (9) (10)

The program is designed to “reduce and eliminate” all domestic resistance to the US government. “Crowd control agents” will be used for this purpose, and government agencies will be involved in “gathering information on dissidents”to identify all those who have either “threatened or are creating disturbances”. The US military produced a manual on what it termed “Civil Disturbance Operations” that outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots and civil unrest. Military and other law-enforcement will be tasked with“breaking up unauthorized gatherings” and restoring order by “presenting a show of force, establishing roadblocks, breaking up crowds, employing crowd control agents, and other operations as required”.

该计划旨在“减少和消除”国内对美国政府的所有抵制。“人群控制代理人”将用于此目的，政府机构将参与“收集持不同政见者的信息”，以识别所有“威胁或制造骚乱”的人。美国军方编制了一份关于其所谓的“内乱行动”的手册，概述了在发生大规模骚乱和内乱时，如何使用军事资产“帮助地方和州当局恢复和维护法律和秩序”。军方和其他执法部门将负责“打破未经授权的集会”，并通过以下方式恢复秩序 “展示武力、设置路障、驱散人群、雇佣人群控制人员以及其他必要的行动”。

The same government manual describes how prisoners will be processed through these internment camps, and outlines how these internees would be “re-educated”while detained in prison camps inside their own country by their own government. A leaked military document titled ‘FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations’, outlined a program for “re-education camps” in the US which contained plans for “political activists” to be “pacified” by various psychological officers into “sympathising” with the government and into “developing an appreciation of US policies” while detained in prison camps inside the US. The document was restricted to Department of Defense personnel but was been leaked and posted online. It outlined policies for “processing detainees into internment camps” and made clear these operations would be used for domestic civilian situations. (11) (12) The full document is available here: (13)

同一份政府手册描述了囚犯将如何通过这些拘留营进行处理，并概述了这些被拘留者在被本国政府关押在本国监狱营地时将如何接受“再教育”。一份泄露的名为“FM 3-39.40拘留和重新安置行动”的军事文件概述了美国的一项“再教育营”计划，其中包含各种心理官员“安抚”“政治活动家”的计划，使其在被关押在美国境内的战俘营时“同情”政府并“了解美国政策”。该文件仅限于国防部人员，但被泄露并发布在网上。它概述了“将被拘留者送入拘留营”的政策，并明确表示这些行动将用于国内平民情况。（）11（12）完整文档可在此处获取：(13)

“Once the detainees have been processed into the internment camp, the manual explains how they will be “indoctrinated”, with a particular focus on coercing political dissidents into expressing support for U.S. policies.”

“一旦被拘留者被处理进拘留营，该手册解释了他们将如何被“灌输”，特别侧重于强迫持不同政见者表达对美国政策的支持。”

Part of the stated role of the psychological officers would be to identify political activists, political leaders, ‘malcontents’, and other agitators, and to develop and execute appropriate “indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes”.

心理官员的部分职责是识别政治活动家、政治领导人、“不满者”和其他煽动者，并制定和执行适当的“灌输计划，以减少或消除敌对态度”。

However, their first task would be to“pacify and acclimate detainees to accept the internment facility’s authority and regulations”.

然而，他们的首要任务是“安抚和适应被拘留者接受拘留设施的权威和规定”。

There are also disturbing insights into the government’s intention to use brutal force to violently quell any civil political unrest. The manual includes a long list of weapons meant to be used against protesting American civilians, including anti-riot grenades. Page 20of the manual authorises the use of “deadly force” in confronting these peaceful political “dissidents”, the murderous intent made disturbingly clear with the directive that “Warning shots will not be fired” first. Northcom itself, in a September 8, 2008 Army Times article, said the first wave of the deployment, which was put in place on October 1st at Fort Stewart and at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, would be aimed at tackling “civil unrest and crowd control”.

对于政府打算使用野蛮武力暴力平息任何内乱，也有令人不安的见解。该手册列出了一长串用于对付抗议的美国平民的武器，包括防暴手榴弹。该手册第20页授权使用“致命武力”对抗这些和平的政治“持不同政见者”，其杀人意图令人不安地明确表示，并指示“首先不鸣枪警告”。Northcom在2008年9月8日《陆军时报》的一篇文章中表示，第一波部署于10月1日在斯图尔特堡和科罗拉多斯普林斯的彼得森空军基地实施，旨在解决“内乱和人群控制”问题。

In November of 2013, Forbes Magazine ran an article based on the AP newswire, detailing that DHS had been assembling a massive weapons arsenal since 2011 or 2012. (14) The AP reported that Homeland Security had been stockpiling ammunition by buying more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in addition to a prior purchase of 1.5 billion rounds, for a staggering total of more than three billion rounds. This is more ammunition than the US military used collectively in all its wars in the last decade, and represents about ten shots for every man, woman and child in America. There were also confirmed purchases by various government agencies, of hundreds of millions of hollow-point rounds to be delivered to dozens of locations around the US. These bullets are so lethal they are banned for battlefield use during warsbecause they mushroom and fragment on impact, their only purpose being to cause the maximum possible damage to internal organs. Also purchased were large numbers ofmagnum rounds with the power to penetrate walls, and a frighteninghundreds of millions more rounds of specialty sniper ammunition.

2013年11月，《福布斯》杂志根据美联社新闻专线发表了一篇文章，详细介绍了国土安全部自2011年或2012年以来一直在组装大规模武器库。（14）美联社报道称，国土安全部一直在囤积弹药，除了之前购买的15亿发弹药外，还购买了16亿多发弹药，总计超过30亿发。这比美国军方在过去十年中所有战争中集体使用的弹药还多，相当于美国每个男人、女人和孩子大约10发子弹。多个政府机构也确认购买了数亿发空心尖弹，将运往美国各地的数十个地点。这些子弹非常致命，在战争期间被禁止在战场上使用，因为它们在撞击时会蘑菇状和碎裂，其唯一目的是对内脏器官造成最大可能的伤害。此外，还购买了大量能够穿透墙壁的大口径子弹，以及数亿发令人恐惧的特种狙击弹药。

Even more, it was reported in early 2015 that DHS had placed orders for massive amounts of other kinds of anti-civilian weaponry termed“Less Lethal Specialty Munitions”,which were described as “an arsenal of specialized weaponry for training and deployment against crowds”. These included flash grenades, light bursts, gas and chemical grenades, riot rounds, rubber bullets, and much more. These are all heavy-duty crowd control and civilian intimidation weapons. They have no other purpose and, in the volume in which they are being purchased, it is clear the US government is expecting some very serious civil disturbances, possibly a revolution, and soon.

更重要的是，据报道，2015年初，国土安全部订购了大量其他类型的反民用武器，称为“低致命性特种弹药”，被描述为“用于训练和部署对抗人群的专用武器库”。这些包括闪光手榴弹、闪光弹、毒气和化学手榴弹、防暴弹、橡皮子弹等等。这些都是重型人群控制和平民恐吓武器。它们没有其他目的，从购买的数量来看，很明显，美国政府预计很快就会发生一些非常严重的内乱，可能是一场革命。

As recently as 2018, Forbes was reporting more of the same, that these purchases have reached an astonishing ubiquity. It isn’t only Homeland Security who is arming to the teeth.Thousands of agents at the IRS now have tactical assault rifles and heavy weaponry.

就在2018年，《福布斯》报道了更多类似的事情，这些购买已经达到了惊人的普遍性。不仅仅是国土安全部在武装到牙齿。美国国税局的数千名特工现在拥有战术突击步枪和重型武器。

The Small Business Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairshave purchasedthousands ofGlock handguns. The Health Services agencies purchased millions of dollars worth of Glock handguns – equipped with silencers. The US Geological Survey, which is a weather bureau, purchased millions of dollars worth ofWinchester Black Shadow shotguns with large bulk ammunition orders in addition to Glock handguns. Even the Department of Education purchased millions of dollars worth of Glock handguns, shotguns and body armor. I am unaware of any nation in the world where the income tax department or the departments of education and health care require huge amounts of military-grade weapons, much less body armor and gun silencers.

小企业管理局和退伍军人事务部已经购买了数千支格洛克手枪。卫生服务机构购买了价值数百万美元的格洛克手枪，这些手枪配备了消声器。美国地质调查局是一家气象局，除了格洛克手枪外，还购买了价值数百万美元的温彻斯特黑影霰弹枪，并订购了大量散装弹药。甚至教育部也购买了价值数百万美元的格洛克手枪、霰弹枪和防弹衣。我不知道世界上有哪个国家的所得税部门或教育和医疗保健部门需要大量的军用级武器，更不用说防弹衣和枪支消声器了。

In June of 2016, RT reported that non-military federal agencies had more firepower than the entire US Marine Corps, this including agencies like education, health and income tax.(15) RT documented, a new report where 67 non-military federal US agencies spent $1.50 billion purchasing guns, ammunition and military-style equipment. The details came from the Militarization of America: non-military federal agencies purchases of guns, ammo, and military-style equipment, published by the non-profit good government group OpentheBooks.com. (16) (17)

2016年6月，RT报道称，非军事联邦机构的火力超过了整个美国海军陆战队，其中包括教育、卫生和所得税等机构。（15）RT记录了一份新的报告，其中67个美国非军事联邦机构花费了15亿美元购买枪支、弹药和军用设备。这些细节来自《美国军事化：非军事联邦机构购买枪支、弹药和军用装备》，由非营利的好政府组织OpentheBooks.com出版 (16) (17)

In addition to the massive purchase of ammunition, DHS was showing off its acquisition of heavily armored and mine-resistant personnel carriers which have been seen on streets all across America and verified with photos and video. Forbes noted that these vehicles are equipped with gun ports and are “designed to withstand IEDs, mine blasts and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass”, and asked why they would be necessary on American streets. The DHS also purchased large amounts of riot gear and bullet-proof checkpoint booths, as well as a purchase of 7000 automatic rifles, and 2700 armored vehicles, and the deployment of drones with allowance for their use on US citizens.

除了大量购买弹药外，国土安全部还展示了其采购的重型装甲和防雷运兵车，这些运兵车在美国各地的街道上都能看到，并通过照片和视频进行了验证。《福布斯》指出，这些车辆配备了枪口，“设计用于承受简易爆炸装置、地雷爆炸和50口径的防弹玻璃撞击”，并询问为什么在美国街头需要这些车辆。国土安全部还购买了大量防暴装备和防弹检查站，以及购买了7000支自动步枪和2700辆装甲车，并部署了允许在美国公民身上使用的无人机。

The DHS is becoming a massive domestic army to handle domestic conflict. In the words of Ellen Brown,“somebody in government is expecting some serious civil unrest …”

国土安全部正在成为一支庞大的国内军队，以处理国内冲突。用艾伦·布朗的话来说,“政府中有人预计会发生严重的内乱……”

DHS chiefJanet Napolitano claimed this was to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States that would require the “shelter and processing” of large numbers of people, but this is nonsense. By whom will the US be attacked that Homeland Security would be responsible for defense, and from where would arise a mass of peaceful immigrants so large as to require more than three billion bullets to repel them?

国土安全部部长珍妮特·纳波利塔诺声称，这是为了应对大量移民涌入美国，这将需要大量人员的“庇护和处理”，但这是无稽之谈。美国将受到谁的攻击，国土安全部将负责防御，从哪里会出现大量和平移民，以至于需要30多亿发子弹才能击退他们？

This is the same government that recently shut down many of its operations including most of the National Parks, for lack of funds, yet had sufficient money to purchase billions of bullets for a non-existent civilian army. A spokesperson was quoted as justifying this massive purchase to “help the government get a low price for a big purchase”, and claimed DHS used “as many as 15 million rounds every year in training exercises”. Someone should ask DHS to divide 3 billion by 15 million, which tells us the ammunition purchase will supply DHS needs for the next 200 years. The authorities naturally attribute criticism and hard questions to mentally-unbalanced ‘conspiracy theorists’, but this is one more instance where actions appear irrational and the official story is so full of holes that it makes no sense.

正是这个政府最近因为缺乏资金而关闭了包括大多数国家公园在内的许多行动，但却有足够的资金为一支不存在的平民军队购买数十亿发子弹。据报道，一位发言人为这一大规模采购辩护，以“帮助政府以低廉的价格进行大规模采购”，并声称国土安全部“每年在训练演习中使用多达1500万发子弹”。有人应该要求国土安全部将30亿除以1500万，这告诉我们，购买弹药将满足国土安全部未来200年的需求。当局自然会将批评和难题归咎于精神不平衡的“阴谋论者”，但这是又一个行动似乎不合理的例子，官方故事充满了漏洞，毫无意义。

Perhaps the most frightening part being that all these were termed “no hesitation targets”, meaning to fire without hesitation at the sight of these enemies.

也许最可怕的是，所有这些都被称为“毫不犹豫的目标”，意思是一看到这些敌人就毫不犹豫地开火。

Another DHS purchase that produced a firestorm of anger when its news went viral, was the supply of what we might call ‘unconventional’ paper targets which were used as practice shooting targets in ‘training exercises’. These targets consisted of figures of American civilians in residential settings. They includedsmall children, a young pregnant mother, old women in robes, grandmothers and grandfathers in their kitchens and front yards, teenagers in parks, little girls and more, perhaps the most frightening part being that all these were termed “no hesitation targets”, meaning to fire without hesitation at the sight of these enemies. What could possibly justify the supply of such targets to a military force, with such an instruction? The US fedbiz.op website took down the solicitation after Infowars broke the story, and eventually apologized publicly for creating these targets of small children.

国土安全部的另一项购买在其消息传播时引发了愤怒的风暴，那就是我们可以称之为“非传统”的纸靶的供应，这些纸靶在“训练演习”中用作练习射击靶。这些目标包括居住环境中的美国平民。他们包括小孩、一位年轻的孕妇、穿着长袍的老妇人、厨房和前院里的祖母和祖父、公园里的青少年、小女孩等等，也许最可怕的是，所有这些都被称为“毫不犹豫的目标”，意思是一看到这些敌人就毫不犹豫地开火。根据这样的指示，向军队提供这样的目标有什么理由呢？Infowars爆料后，美国fedbiz.op网站取消了这一招揽活动，并最终为制造这些针对幼儿的目标公开道歉。

In early 2014 it was reported that the US military had built a $100 million fake city of about 300 acres in Virginia, for use in training troops for the occupation of cities, complete with a sports stadium, bank, school, and an underground subway in order to train for future combat scenarios in American urban areas. The subway carriages even carry the same logo as those in Washington DC. More disturbingly, it was reported that“soldiers are being taught that Christians, Tea Party supporters and anti-abortion activists represent a radical terror threat, mirroring rhetoric backed by the Department of Homeland Security which frames “liberty lovers” as domestic extremists.”

2014年初，据报道，美国军方在弗吉尼亚州建造了一座耗资1亿美元、占地约300英亩的假城市，用于训练占领城市的部队，包括一个体育场、银行、学校和一条地下地铁，以便为美国城市地区的未来战斗场景进行训练。地铁车厢甚至带有与华盛顿特区相同的标志。更令人不安的是，据报道士兵们被教导说，基督徒、茶党支持者和反堕胎活动家代表了一种激进的恐怖威胁，这与国土安全部支持的言论相呼应，该部将“自由爱好者”定义为国内极端分子

The DHS is also building a 176-acre secure compound in the lowest-income area of Washington, DC, which seems almost certainly a preparation for civil war. (18) (19)

国土安全部还在华盛顿特区最低收入地区建造了一座176英亩的安全大院，这似乎几乎可以肯定是为内战做准备。(18) (19)

The trigger could be an economic collapse that causes angry Americans to flood the streets similar to the Occupy Wall Street and other scenes witnessed across both the US and Europe during the last FED-induced economic crisis. It is worth noting that the Occupy Wall Street protest had the right idea but the wrong target. Wall Street is just an idea, and a bit player. The ultimate cause is the FED, and that should have been their focus.But the FED, the bankers and the FBI saw this coming and infiltrated and financed the protest groups as a way to take control and deflect them from any useful action or focus.

触发因素可能是经济崩溃，导致愤怒的美国人涌上街头，类似于上次美联储引发的经济危机中占领华尔街以及美国和欧洲目睹的其他场景。值得注意的是，占领华尔街抗议活动的想法是正确的，但目标是错误的。华尔街只是一个想法，也是一个小玩家。最终的原因是美联储，这应该是他们的重点。但美联储、银行家和联邦调查局看到了这一点，并渗透和资助了抗议团体，以此作为控制和转移他们对任何有益行动或重点的一种方式。

In the middle of 2013 several US local media reported the DHS was conducting widely public but still “top secret” exercises categorised as “full scale terrorism drills” across the entire nation with the stated purpose of making citizens“feel safe”, but which resulted in thousands of terrified people not knowing how to respond to what appeared as a domestic invasion by the US military. People were capriciously apprehended and released after having their belongings searched, but nevertheless urged to celebrate their “independence” from tyranny. These drills were presented as readiness training for potential terrorist incursions, though DHS failed to mention the New York Times observation that all the domestic terror plots in the United States over the last decade were “hatched by the FBI”.

2013年年中，几家美国当地媒体报道称，国土安全部正在全国范围内进行广泛公开但仍然是“绝密”的演习，被归类为“全面的恐怖主义演习”，其明确目的是让公民“感到安全”，但这导致数千名惊恐的人不知道如何应对美军的国内入侵。人们在财物被搜查后被随意逮捕并释放，但仍被敦促庆祝他们从暴政中“独立”出来。这些演习被视为对潜在恐怖分子入侵的准备训练，尽管国土安全部没有提到《纽约时报》的观察，即过去十年美国所有的国内恐怖阴谋都是“由联邦调查局策划的”。

One other worrying development was the appearance of US military C-130 cargo planes apparently spraying mosquitoes over various Florida cities at an altitude of less than 50 meters. Pest control is hardly a military duty, these events immediately reminding me of the US military spraying bacterial and other pathogens over many parts of the US in various CIA-related experiments on the domestic population. These low-altitude overflights are almost certainly practice runs for potential crowd control in the future,for dispensing tear gas or other non-lethal (or lethal) material that would disperse or disorient protestors.I cannot imagine all the possibilities, but the US military most certainly is not going into the mosquito-spraying business. (19) (20)

另一个令人担忧的事态发展是，美国军用C-130货机的出现，显然是在佛罗里达州多个城市上空不到50米的高度喷洒蚊子。虫害防治几乎不是一项军事任务，这些事件立即让我想起美国军方在美国许多地区对国内人口进行的各种与中央情报局有关的实验中喷洒细菌和其他病原体。这些低空飞越几乎可以肯定是未来潜在的人群控制练习，用于分发催泪瓦斯或其他非致命（或致命）材料，以驱散或迷惑抗议者。我无法想象所有的可能性，但美国军方肯定不会进入灭蚊业务。(19) (20

US Major General Curry was quoted as stating,

美国少将库里说：

“We have local police, backed up by each state’s National Guard, backed up by the Department of Defense. So in addition to all these forces why does Homeland Security need its own private army? Why do the SSA, NOAA and other government agencies need to create their own civilian security forces armed with hollow nose bullets?”

“我们有地方警察，由各州国民警卫队和国防部支持。那么，除了所有这些部队，为什么国土安全部还需要自己的私人军队？为什么SSA、NOAA和其他政府机构需要建立自己的配备空心子弹的民用安全部队？”

Some may want to dismiss this as just another conspiracy theory, but we might recall the words of Senator Daniel Inouyein 1987,“There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.”

有些人可能会认为这只是另一个阴谋论，但我们可能还记得参议员Daniel Inouye在1987年的话，“有一个影子政府，有自己的空军、海军、筹款机制，有能力追求自己的国家利益，不受任何制衡，也不受法律本身的约束。”

Unfortunately, the US has been under‘national emergency’ since September 14, 2001. In 1974, a Senate Committee revealed the US had been under national emergency since 1933 and were currently under 4 different Presidentially declared states of emergency. Thus, martial law could be declared anytime. Source

不幸的是，自2001年9月14日以来，美国一直处于“国家紧急状态”。1974年，参议院委员会透露，美国自1933年以来一直处于国家紧急状态，目前处于4个不同的总统宣布的紧急状态。因此，戒严可以随时宣布。Source

The threats to civil liberties go much farther and are much more ominous than I’ve related so far. Another factor is the spate of secret Executive Orders that Obama signed without Congressional approval, observers claiming those orders violated existing laws and were therefore illegal but that the powers behind the White House considered themselves above all law.

对公民自由的威胁比我迄今为止所描述的要严重得多，也更加不祥。另一个因素是奥巴马在没有国会批准的情况下签署了一系列秘密行政命令，观察员声称这些命令违反了现行法律，因此是非法的，但白宫背后的权力认为自己凌驾于所有法律之上。

One of the most sinister was Executive Order 13603 which granted authorization to seize possession of every possible resource, including property and “all food storage facilities”.One author wrote that “This extremist, maniacal edict is designed to enforce our submission, rendering us totally dependent on Big Brother government or face the obvious – starvation and extermination.”

其中最险恶的是第13603号行政命令，该命令授权没收所有可能的资源，包括财产和“所有食品储存设施”。一位作者写道：“这项极端主义、疯狂的法令旨在强制我们屈服，使我们完全依赖老大哥政府，否则将面临饥饿和灭绝。”

What could possibly have instigated such an order, unless the government is preparing for an all-out war against the American people? What possible excuse, during peace-time, would a “democratic” government have, for the initiation of a program to seize all the “food, water and food storage facilities” of a nation? If we add these to the internment camps and the bullets, what conclusions are possible?

除非政府准备对美国人民发动全面战争，否则是什么引发了这样的命令？在和平时期，一个“民主”政府会有什么借口来启动一项夺取一个国家所有“食物、水和食物储存设施”的计划？如果我们把这些加在拘留营和子弹上，可能会得出什么结论？

When we consider these two items, Executive Order 13603 and the new powers granted to DHS, the only possible response can be fear.

当我们考虑这两个项目，即第13603号行政命令和授予国土安全部的新权力时，唯一可能的回应可能是恐惧。

Another ominous threat is that much of the NSA’s illegal intelligence-gathering activities were transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, the same people with the 800 internment camps and the 3 billion bullets. The apparent reason is that the NSA can collect information on domestic political dissidents but has no police powers to act on them, whereas DHS has legislative authority to gather, arrest and incarcerate anyone on their watch lists. DHS is apparently creating a “graded list” of these targeted so-called “security threats”, with those at the top of this list assessed according to how widely disseminated are their anti-establishment views, the followers they appear to have,and these will be the first to disappear into the internment maze.This new policy gives Homeland Security full authority to effectively terrorise the American people under a pretense of controlling domestic terrorism. When we consider these two items, Executive Order 13603 and the new powers granted to DHS, the only possible response can be fear.

另一个不祥的威胁是，美国国家安全局的大部分非法情报收集活动都转移到了国土安全部，这些人拥有800个拘留营和30亿发子弹。显而易见的原因是，国家安全局可以收集国内持不同政见者的信息，但没有警察权力对其采取行动，而国土安全部则有立法权收集、逮捕和监禁其观察名单上的任何人。国土安全部显然正在为这些有针对性的所谓“安全威胁”创建一个“分级名单”，根据他们的反建制观点的传播程度、他们似乎拥有的追随者来评估名单顶部的人，这些人将是第一个消失在拘留迷宫中的人。这项新政策赋予国土安全部充分的权力，以控制国内恐怖主义为借口，有效地恐吓美国人民。当我们考虑这两个项目，即第13603号行政命令和授予国土安全部的新权力时，唯一可能的回应可能是恐惧。

If all this isn’t enough, DHS was revealed to have a secret procedure for the instant shutting down of all private communications in America, including mobile phone networks, a program accidentally revealed when government officials in San Francisco disabled all mobile phone calls during a peaceful protest against yet another man shot dead by the police. The administration insisted it had the legal authority to control these communications “during times of national crisis”, “for the purpose of ensuring public safety”, but it has also given DHS the power to actually “seize” all privately-owned communications facilities in order to prevent any civilian communications occurring. Some individuals applied to the courts for further information on these new procedures and policies, but DHS claimed it was “unable to locate or identify any records” in relation to the matter. Nothing more to be said, but it’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that the US government is quickly becoming fully prepared for war against its civilian population.

如果这一切还不够的话，国土安全部被披露有一个秘密程序，可以立即关闭美国的所有私人通信，包括移动电话网络。旧金山政府官员在和平抗议另一名被警察枪杀的男子时，禁用了所有移动电话，这一程序意外泄露。政府坚称，“在国家危机期间”，“为了确保公共安全”，它有权控制这些通信，但它也赋予国土安全部实际“扣押”所有私有通信设施的权力，以防止任何民用通信的发生。一些人向法院申请了有关这些新程序和政策的进一步信息，但国土安全部声称，它“无法找到或识别与此事有关的任何记录”。没什么好说的，但很难避免这样一个结论，即美国政府正在迅速为针对平民的战争做好充分准备。

With the NSA revelations by Edward Snowdon, there is no longer any question that many US government agencies have been monitoring and gathering information on large numbers of known American political dissidents, these agencies including the NSA, FBI, CIA, DHS, various military groups and another 70 or 80 so-called “public-private fusion centers” scattered around the US. Former NSA Technical Director William Binney claimed in an interview that the NSA had a list of 500,000 to one million people in the US who were closely watched and whose every communication and bit of personal data were recorded. These are not terrorists in any sense, but potential leaders of political dissension and therefore potential suspects in the event of civil disturbances.There also exists a database known as “Main Core”, containing names of Americans who might be considered troublesome, and which knowledgeable sources claim contains the names and communication information of more than eight million Americans who would be potential suspects of political activism, which would include“national opposition to US military invasion abroad”. It includes political dissidents, environmental and other activists, political and tax protesters, lawyers and professors, publishers and journalists, and many more who are most likely harmless, average people.

随着爱德华·斯诺登（Edward Snowdon）对美国国家安全局（NSA）的揭露，毫无疑问，许多美国政府机构一直在监视和收集大量已知的美国持不同政见者的信息，这些机构包括国家安全局、联邦调查局、中央情报局、国土安全部、各种军事团体和散布在美国各地的另外70或80个所谓的“公私融合中心”。前国家安全局技术总监威廉·宾尼（William Binney）在接受采访时声称，国家安全局有一份美国50万至100万人的名单，他们受到密切监视，他们的每一次通信和个人数据都被记录下来。这些人在任何意义上都不是恐怖分子，而是潜在的政治分歧领导人，因此在发生内乱时是潜在的嫌疑人。还有一个名为“主核心”的数据库，其中包含可能被视为麻烦的美国人的名字，知情人士声称，该数据库包含了800多万美国人的姓名和通信信息，这些人可能是政治激进主义的潜在嫌疑人，其中包括“全国反对美国军事入侵海外”。它包括持不同政见者、环保和其他活动家、政治和税务抗议者、律师和教授、出版商和记者，以及更多最有可能无害的普通人。

The database apparently contains all to and from email addresses, all email content, all in and out phone numbers plus duration of calls, the amounts and locations of ATM withdrawals, all credit card purchases and much more. It appears that this dissident surveillance program dates back to the early 1980s, the time of our Great Transformation, when it was revealed that Oliver North, operating from a secure White House site, had been using a database called PROMIS which was part of the REX-84 plan, to track dissidents and potential troublemakers within the United States.This database was meant to identify and immediately locate perceived “enemies of the state” if mass civil disturbances were to break out. (21) (22)

该数据库显然包含所有往来电子邮件地址、所有电子邮件内容、所有进出电话号码加上通话时间、ATM取款金额和地点、所有信用卡购买等等。看来，这个持不同政见者的监视计划可以追溯到20世纪80年代初，当时我们的大转型时期，有消息称，奥利弗·诺斯在一个安全的白宫网站上运作，一直在使用一个名为PROMIS的数据库，该数据库是REX-84计划的一部分，用于追踪美国境内的持不同政见人士和潜在的麻烦制造者。该数据库旨在识别并立即定位大规模内乱爆发时感知到的“国家敌人”。(21) (22)

中产阶级起义 — The Middle-Class Revolt

A somewhat strange cause to celebrate. There’s no doubt about it—the American middle class is shrinking. Source

一个有点奇怪的庆祝理由。毫无疑问，美国中产阶级正在萎缩。来源

In late 2008 a leaked internal memo from Tom Fitzpatrick, Citibank’s chief technical strategist, contained ominous predictions for American civil society after the vicious financial crisis. He wrote,“The world is not going back to normal ‘after the magnitude of what they have done’”.

2008年底，花旗银行首席技术策略师汤姆·菲茨帕特里克（Tom Fitzpatrick）泄露的一份内部备忘录对恶性金融危机后的美国公民社会做出了不祥的预测。他写道，“在他们所做的巨大努力之后，世界不会恢复正常”。

Fitzpatrick claimed that the massive destruction of the middle class, the draining of all the wealth from the population, and the QE money creation by the FED would either bring about a resurgence of inflation or that the US would fall into “depression, civil disorder and possibly war”. He claimed that with the passing of each week and month there was a growing danger that could lead to political instability, a risk of domestic unrest because people were becoming increasingly disenfranchised and impoverished.

菲茨帕特里克声称，中产阶级的大规模毁灭、人口中所有财富的流失以及美联储创造的量化宽松货币要么会导致通货膨胀的复苏，要么美国将陷入“萧条、内乱，甚至可能爆发战争”。他声称，随着时间的推移，可能导致政治不稳定的危险越来越大，这是一种国内动荡的风险，因为人们越来越被剥夺权利和贫困。

Lest we succumb to the temptation of accepting the 2008 financial crisis and the resulting loss of homes as an accident of fate, it would be wise to consider these quotes by Montagu Norman, Governor of The Bank of England prior to the crash of 1929, addressing the United States Bankers’ Association, New York, Idaho Leader, 26 August 1924.

为了避免我们屈服于将2008年金融危机和由此导致的房屋损失视为命运意外的诱惑，明智的做法是考虑1929年金融危机前英格兰银行行长蒙塔古·诺曼在1924年8月26日于纽约爱达荷州领袖美国银行家协会发表的讲话。

“Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of the government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men, who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world.”

“资本必须以一切可能的方式保护自己，包括通过合并和立法。债务必须尽快收回，抵押贷款必须尽快取消。当普通民众通过法律程序失去家园时，他们将变得更加温顺，更容易通过主要金融家领导下的中央财富力量所运用的政府强有力的力量来治理。这些真理在我们的主要人物中是众所周知的，他们现在正在组建一个帝国主义来治理世界。”

And his thoughts on democracy:

他对民主的看法：

“By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance.” “It is thus, by discrete action, we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.”

“通过政党制度划分选民，我们可以让他们把精力花在为无关紧要的问题而战上。”“因此，通过离散的行动，我们可以为自己确保计划周密、成果丰硕的目标。”

The US government has developed an increasing fear of its own middle class, wide awake to the protests and uprisings in other nations where governments have colluded with the international bankers and large multi-nationals to gut their middle classes and effect the same transfer of wealth to the top 1% as occurred in America. People in many Western societies have become disgruntled and bitter at the increasing evidence that their vaunted democracies have been usurped by the unrestrained capitalists, creating intolerable situations where the people are sacrificed for the increasing wealth of that same top 1%.

美国政府对自己的中产阶级越来越感到恐惧，对其他国家的抗议和起义非常清醒，在这些国家，政府与国际银行家和大型跨国公司勾结，摧毁他们的中产阶级，并像美国一样将财富转移到最富有的1%。许多西方社会的人们对越来越多的证据感到不满和痛苦，这些证据表明，他们吹嘘的民主国家被不受约束的资本家篡夺了，造成了令人无法忍受的局面，在这种情况下，人们为了同一最富有的1%的财富而牺牲。

At first, the US government exhibited a grim and rather reprehensible kind of satisfaction at watching the misery in other nations where the FED and IMF and the International Bankers had succeeded in their aims of wealth transference,but it also realised that the same boiling rage existed in America and perhaps much less controllable.

起初，美国政府对美联储、国际货币基金组织和国际银行家成功实现财富转移目标的其他国家的苦难表现出一种严峻而应受谴责的满足感，但它也意识到，美国也存在同样的愤怒，而且可能更难控制。

US citizens were protesting against a government that was no longer democratic in any sense, and was both unwilling and unable to repair a hopelessly corrupt and inefficient system. They finally awoke en masse and objected to ingrained corruption, shoddy public services, high taxes, homelessness, unemployment, rising inflation, the development of a police state, and more. It is public rage at the realisation of having been betrayed by a “democratic” government that converts civil unrest into political activism and revolution, and it is this that lies at the heart of the FBI’s categorisation of US political dissent as “domestic terrorism”. This terminology is important because the US, in all its hypocrisy for democracy, free speech and freedom of assembly, cannot face the world with open and apparent suppression of political dissent. Therefore, US citizens protesting against their own government cannot be exercising free speech but rather anarchy and terrorism, thereby justifying the use of deadly force to control dissension. The powers that control America have no interest in fairy-tales of freedom. They are interested in wealth and control, and the people in any country are irrelevant – including those in the US.

美国公民正在抗议一个在任何意义上都不再民主的政府，这个政府既不愿意也无法修复一个无可救药的腐败和低效的制度。他们最终集体觉醒，反对根深蒂固的腐败、劣质的公共服务、高税收、无家可归、失业、通货膨胀加剧、警察国家的发展等等。公众对被一个将内乱转化为政治激进主义和革命的“民主”政府背叛的认识感到愤怒，而这正是联邦调查局将美国政治异议归类为“国内恐怖主义”的核心所在。这个术语很重要，因为美国对民主、言论自由和集会自由的虚伪，无法以公开和明显的压制政治异议来面对世界。因此，抗议本国政府的美国公民不能行使言论自由，而是行使无政府状态和恐怖主义，从而为使用致命武力控制分歧辩护。控制美国的大国对自由的童话故事毫无兴趣。他们对财富和控制感兴趣，任何国家的人民都无关紧要，包括美国人民。

Americans have experienced first-hand the destruction of their quality of life; they see clearly the disappearance of future opportunity for their children, and they recognise better than most the loss of their freedom of expression which they have so valued. And they know it is precisely the retraction of that expression that is necessary for their no-longer-democratic government to maintain control.

美国人亲身经历了生活质量的破坏；他们清楚地看到了孩子未来机会的消失，他们比大多数人更清楚地认识到他们如此珍视的言论自由的丧失。他们知道，正是撤回这种表达，才是他们不再民主的政府保持控制所必需的。

This is where their economic and social dissatisfactions mutate into political activism – revolution, in fact – and it is this realisation among the authorities that has spawned the internship camps, the billions of bullets purchased, and the “shoot to kill” orders.

这就是他们的经济和社会不满转变为政治激进主义的地方——事实上是革命——正是当局的这种认识催生了实习营、购买的数十亿颗子弹和“格杀勿论”的命令。

革命：阶级权力的斗争 — Revolution –The Struggle for Class Power

阶级斗争

Buried in the litany of troubles the US is facing today is the primary fact that the nation is engaged in a brutal class war, a struggle for class power that the bottom 99% are losing. This war was declared in the late 1970s, gained great momentum in the 1980s and 1990s, and is still accelerating toward its final desperate conclusion. There are few signs on the horizon that cause hope for a change in direction, and I fear it may be too late.

在美国今天面临的一系列麻烦中，最主要的事实是，美国正在进行一场残酷的阶级战争，一场底层99%正在失去的阶级权力斗争。这场战争于20世纪70年代末宣战，在20世纪80年代和90年代获得了巨大的势头，并且仍在加速走向最终的绝望结局。地平线上几乎没有迹象表明方向会改变，我担心这可能为时已晚。

There is still power with the people themselves, and indeed without the both active cooperation and silent complicity of the people, none of the pathological descent into despair would have been possible. Probably the only force in America that can change what is happening is the combined force of labor. This isn’t so easy today, since the government killed most labor organisations and there is now little if any leadership. A total withdrawal of labor succeeded in forcing a new social contract in 1946 and may be the only power remaining today, but times have changed and tactics must change too. If all unions withdrew their services with the full cooperation of unorganised labor, change might be possible.

人民自己仍然有权力，事实上，如果没有人民的积极合作和无声的共谋，任何病态的绝望都是不可能的。也许美国唯一能改变现状的力量就是劳动力的联合力量。如今，这并不容易，因为政府杀死了大多数劳工组织，现在几乎没有领导层。1946年，劳动力的完全撤出成功地迫使了一种新的社会契约，这可能是今天唯一剩下的力量，但时代已经改变，策略也必须改变。如果所有工会在无组织劳工的充分合作下撤回服务，变革是可能的。

But realistically, there is no hope that such a mass protest could be organised even though it is the only possible way to get the attention of whatever remains of a conscientious government and force through a reversal of the tide. In any case, taking to the streets is unlikely to produce pleasant results. If the police don’t have enough bodies to beat up and arrest everyone, DHS has its internment camps, its 3 billion bullets, its years of practice with “no-hesitation” human targets, and it will use all of them.

但现实地说，即使这是通过扭转局势来吸引一个尽职尽责的政府和力量的唯一可能方式，也不可能组织这样的大规模抗议活动。无论如何，走上街头不太可能产生令人愉快的结果。如果警察没有足够的尸体来殴打和逮捕每个人，国土安全部就有拘留营、30亿发子弹、多年来“毫不犹豫”的人类目标，它将使用所有这些。

The only safe way for Americans to go on strike today is to stay at home. On this topic, one internet commenter wrote,“Just don’t go to work. There is no need to picket in the streets to be on strike, and the factories and offices will be just as quiet and empty, and the profits just as non-existent. The police cannot possibly conduct home-by-home visits to beat up strikers one by one, and no military, even the DHS, is efficient when trying to blow up houses scattered all over the county, one by one. Strikers are probably safe if they stay at home and lock their door.”

美国人今天罢工的唯一安全方式就是呆在家里。关于这个话题，一位网友写道：“不要去上班。没有必要在街上纠察罢工，工厂和办公室也会一样安静空旷，利润也一样不存在。警察不可能挨家挨户地殴打罢工者，而且没有军队，甚至是国土安全部，在试图逐一炸毁散布在全县各地的房屋时是有效的。如果罢工者呆在家里锁门，他们可能是安全的。”

Another wrote,

另一位写道，

“Another tactic is for Americans to simply quit shopping. They don’t have the money anyway, and don’t need all that useless junk. Don’t buy anything you don’t actually need, and delay even those purchases as long as possible, especially the big-ticket items like cars and furniture. If at all possible, delay every purchase for at least one year. As much as is practicable, stop driving your car. Cancel your cable TV and read a book.” Your grandmother gave you advice 100 years ago that is still valid today: “Use it up, wear it out. Make it do. Do without.”

“另一种策略是让美国人干脆放弃购物。反正他们没有钱，也不需要那些无用的垃圾。不要买任何你实际上不需要的东西，尽可能推迟购买，尤其是汽车和家具等高价商品。如果可能的话，将每一次购买都推迟至少一年。尽可能地停止开车。取消有线电视，读一本书。”你祖母100年前给你的建议至今仍然有效：“用完它，穿坏它。做到这一点。不要。”

A third commenter gave this advice:

第三位评论者给出了这样的建议：

“One thing you can do to get their attention is to stop paying your bills. VISA and MasterCard can’t cancel 800 million credit cards at the same time, and no bank can process 100 million mortgage defaults. No system can cope with massive non-payment of debt. You are their only source of money and you can ensure they don’t get any of it. That will wake them up. Tell them you’ll begin paying when the overseas corporate tax holiday is over, when high income taxes are reinstated for the rich, when the individual bankers are in prison and when the lost jobs begin returning. This isn’t foolproof, but it’s the best I can do.”

“你可以做的一件事就是停止支付账单。VISA和万事达卡不能同时取消8亿张信用卡，也没有一家银行可以处理1亿笔抵押贷款违约。没有一个系统可以应对大规模的债务拖欠。你是他们唯一的资金来源，你可以确保他们不会得到任何资金。这会让他们清醒过来。告诉他们，当海外公司免税期结束时，当富人恢复高所得税时，当个人银行家入狱时，当失去的工作开始回来时，你将开始支付。这不是万无一失的，但这是我能做的最好的事情。”

And finally, a more ambitious poster offered these comments:

最后，一张更雄心勃勃的海报给出了这些评论：

“Today, the US State Department, the CIA and the FBI pride themselves on their ability to use Twitter and Facebook to cause civil unrest, chaos, violence, and even revolutions, in other countries. It may not have occurred to them that the same tools they use against everyone else can be just as easily used against them. The CIA used Gene Sharp and his Einstein Institute to prepare the Otpor civil disobedience manuals that our government used as the gunpowder to destroy Jugoslavia, and as the template for a dozen other “color revolutions” of which it was so proud. Copies are freely available on the internet.”

“今天，美国国务院、中央情报局和联邦调查局为自己能够利用推特和脸书在其他国家引发内乱、混乱、暴力甚至革命而感到自豪。他们可能没有想到，他们用来对付其他人的工具也可以同样容易地用来对付他们。中央情报局利用吉恩·夏普和他的爱因斯坦研究所编写了Otpor公民不服从手册，我们的政府将其用作摧毁南斯拉夫的火药，并作为它引以为豪的其他十几场“颜色革命”的模板。副本可以在互联网上免费获得。”

William Blum again:

威廉·布鲁姆再次：

“As I’ve said before: Inasmuch as I can’t see violent revolution succeeding in the United States (something deep inside tells me that we couldn’t quite match the government’s firepower, not to mention its viciousness), I can offer no solution to stopping the imperial beast other than this: Educate yourself and as many others as you can, raising their political and ideological consciousness, providing them with the factual ammunition and arguments needed to sway others, increasing the number of those in the opposition until it raises the political price for those in power, until it reaches a critical mass, at which point … I can’t predict the form the explosion will take or what might be the trigger… But you have to have faith. And courage.”

“正如我之前所说：由于我看不到暴力革命在美国取得成功（告诉我，我们无法与政府的火力相匹敌，更不用说它的邪恶了），我无法提供除此之外的任何解决方案来阻止帝国的野兽：教育自己和尽可能多的其他人，提高他们的政治和意识形态意识，为他们提供影响他人所需的事实弹药和论据，增加反对派的人数，直到它提高当权者的政治代价，直到它达到临界点，在这一点上……我无法预测爆炸将采取什么形式，也无法预测什么可能是导火索……但你必须有信心。勇气。”

重建美国 — Rebuilding America

This is an amended list of actions Americans must take if they want to bring their country into the community of nations as a civilised member instead of its present status as a genocidal bully, and to begin healing the nation itself. It is compiled from my own notes with the inclusion of excerpts from a speech made by Chris Hedges at Northeastern University. (23)

这是一份经过修订的行动清单，如果美国人想让他们的国家作为一个文明成员而不是目前作为种族灭绝欺凌者的地位融入国际社会，并开始治愈国家本身，他们必须采取这些行动。它是根据我自己的笔记编写的，其中包括Chris Hedgesat Northeastern University.（23）的演讲摘录

Discard the existing two-party political system as diseased and useless, and form one new party with a totally new slate of legislators not formerly involved in government.

抛弃现有的两党政治制度，认为它是病态和无用的，组建一个由以前不参与政府的全新立法者组成的新政党。

Their first tasks would be to:

他们的首要任务是：

1. Arrest all war criminals on American soil. Begin with both Bushes, Cheney and Rumsfeld, Powell and Rice, both Clintons, Kissinger, Albright, and a long list of other White House and Congressional staff, on charges of treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

1.逮捕美国领土上的所有战犯。从布什、切尼和拉姆斯菲尔德、鲍威尔和赖斯、克林顿夫妇、基辛格、奥尔布赖特以及一长串其他白宫和国会工作人员开始，他们被指控叛国、战争罪和危害人类罪。

2. Disband the Federal Reserve Banking System and repudiate all outstanding debt to the FED. The government would, according to the law and constitution, issue its own currency from this point forward.

2.解散联邦储备银行系统，并拒绝向美联储偿还所有未偿债务。政府将根据法律和宪法，从现在开始发行自己的货币。

3. Force the break-up of all the big banks and eliminate interstate banking.Nationalise the so-called investment banks like Goldman Sachs, confiscate their assets and shut them all down. Reintroduce banking sector regulations as was done after the 1930s, to ensure a catastrophe cannot recur, with violations punished by mandatory prison sentences. Outlaw program stock trading by the banks. Force the banks to revert to simple banking functions to serve the economy.

3.迫使所有大银行分拆，取消州际银行业务。将高盛等所谓的投资银行国有化，没收其资产并全部关闭。像20世纪30年代后那样重新引入银行业监管，以确保灾难不会再次发生，违反规定者将被判处强制性监禁。禁止银行进行股票交易。迫使银行恢复简单的银行职能，为经济服务。

4. Disband the CIA and all its clandestine projects by cutting off all funding. Confiscate all CIA records, files, computers, data, and make the details public. Emasculate the FBI and all its executives and officers. Arrest the planners and perpetrators of all false-flag ops. Kill the NSA. Immediately cease all domestic espionage on US citizens. Cut off all funding, seize all bank accounts and confiscate all records and documents. Bomb the Arizona data storage facility to rubble. Kill the Department of Homeland Security and dismantle and close all internment camps within the continental US.

4.通过切断所有资金，解散中央情报局及其所有秘密项目。没收中情局的所有记录、文件、电脑、数据，并公开细节。解放联邦调查局及其所有高管和官员。逮捕所有假旗行动的策划者和肇事者。杀死NSA。立即停止对美国公民的所有国内间谍活动。切断所有资金，扣押所有银行账户，没收所有记录和文件。将亚利桑那州的数据存储设施炸成瓦砾。杀死国土安全部，拆除并关闭美国大陆的所有拘留营。

5. Disband the NED, USAID, the VOA and the 100+ other subversive NGOs that are used today to destabilise the governments and societies of other nations.Recall all CIA espionage agents from foreign embassies and consulates, who constitute about 80% of all US foreign “diplomatic” staff. Designate all Foundations and Think Tanks as enemy aliens, and shut them down.

5.解散NED、美国国际开发署、美国之音和100多个其他颠覆性非政府组织，这些组织今天被用来破坏其他国家政府和社会的稳定。召回所有来自外国大使馆和领事馆的中情局间谍，他们约占美国所有外国“外交”人员的80%。将所有基金会和智库指定为敌方外星人，并将其关闭。

6. Reduce the military budget by 85% and close all foreign military bases. Bring home all foreign-based military personnel and give them jobs guarding the bankers.

6.削减85%的军事预算，关闭所有外国军事基地。把所有驻扎在外国的军事人员带回家，给他们提供保护银行家的工作。

7. Totally eliminate the private sector from infrastructure and social services and confine it to commerce where it belongs. Roll back deregulation and privatisation, reclaiming all public infrastructure to be operated by the government for the common good. Especially kill the despicable private prison system, and free the more than one million who should never have been in prison at all. Kill the movements to debtor’s prisons and civil forfeiture before they gain any more momentum, and pass harsh legislation that holds policemen individually responsible for their crimes.

7.从基础设施和社会服务中完全消除私营部门，并将其限制在其所属的商业领域。撤销放松管制和私有化，收回所有公共基础设施，由政府为共同利益运营。特别是杀死卑鄙的私人监狱系统，释放100多万根本不应该被关进监狱的人。在债务人监狱和民事没收运动获得更多动力之前，将其扼杀，并通过严厉的立法，追究警察对其罪行的个人责任。

8. Begin immediate construction of a system of publicly-owned and operated hospitals and medical clinics, and guarantee that all citizens have access to free or easily-affordable health care. Eliminate all insurance companies from the health-care process. Restore funding for universal education.

8.立即开始建设公立医院和诊所系统，并保证所有公民都能获得免费或容易负担得起的医疗保健。将所有保险公司从医疗保健过程中剔除。恢复普及教育的资金。

9. Make all lobbying illegal, with automatic prison sentences for influence-peddling. Designate lobby groups like AIPAC as criminal organisations and hostile enemy aliens, and treat them accordingly. Kill the SuperPacs and corporate donations. Eliminate all corporate contributions to election campaigns, and limit individual contributions to $1,000 maximum. Break the corrupt Zionist control of Congress, Wall Street, the media, the World Bank and the IMF. Terminate their globalism and any reference to a New World Order. Eliminate immediately all funding and financial support for Israel.

9.将所有游说行为定为非法，贩卖影响力将自动被判处监禁。将AIPAC等游说团体指定为犯罪组织和敌对的敌国人，并相应地对待他们。杀死SuperPacs和企业捐款。取消所有公司对竞选活动的捐款，并将个人捐款限制在最高1000美元。打破犹太复国主义者对国会、华尔街、媒体、世界银行和国际货币基金组织的腐败控制。终止他们的全球主义和任何对新世界秩序的提及。立即取消对以色列的所有资金和财政持。

10. Eliminate legal immunity for the elites. Make illegal the payment of corporate fines for personal crimes. Put the people in prison. Levy an 85% income tax on all corporate profits being held outside the country by US-based multinationals. Reinstate the taxes on the rich and very rich. Eliminate personal tax breaks on capital gains and institute an 85% tax on all income over $500,000 per year.

10.取消精英的法律豁免权。将因个人犯罪而支付的公司罚款定为非法。把人关进监狱。对总部位于美国的跨国公司在国外持有的所有公司利润征收85%的所得税。恢复对富人和非常富有的人征税。取消对资本收益的个人税收减免，并对每年超过50万美元的所有收入征收85%的税。

11. The media monopoly must be broken by forcing de-centralisation and pushing the ownership once again into thousands of individual companies owned by totally unrelated parties. The current control of the media must be dismantled because of the Zionists’ propaganda and the Hidden State’s political agenda. Force the disintegration of all media holding groups and wide dispersion of all media, restricting ownership to only one newspaper or TV station permarket. Outlaw opinion-based journalism and make untruthful news reports punishable by public flogging.

11.必须通过强制去中心化和将所有权再次推给完全无关的各方拥有的数千家独立公司来打破媒体垄断。由于犹太复国主义者的宣传和“隐藏国家”的政治议程，必须废除目前对媒体的控制。迫使所有媒体控股集团解体，所有媒体广泛分散，每个市场只拥有一家报纸或电视台。取缔基于舆论的新闻报道，并对不真实的新闻报道处以公开鞭刑。

15. Emasculate the US President, the Presidency, and the White House, and return all power to Congress because it is the concentration of power in the office of the President that has permitted the total alien control of all vital parts of the US government.

15.解放美国总统、总统和白宫，将所有权力交还给国会，因为正是总统办公室的权力集中，才允许外国人完全控制美国政府的所有重要部门。

(2) The 14 Characteristics of Fascism, by Lawrence Britt

Fascism is a political ideology fundamentally authoritarian in character, with a strong nationalism and an essentially belligerent militaristic outlook. Fascism carries primarily a corporate perspective as opposed to a socialist view, directed to satisfying the needs, values and objectives of finance and corporations, organising both the economy and the political system according to this agenda.

法西斯主义是一种本质上具有威权主义特征的政治意识形态，具有强烈的民族主义和本质上好战的军国主义观点。法西斯主义主要是一种企业观点，而不是社会主义观点，旨在满足金融和企业的需求、价值观和目标，根据这一议程组织经济和政治体系。

A fascist government actively suppresses any objection to its ideology and typically will crush any movement which opposes it. In keeping with their belligerent nature, fascist governments generally view violence and war as stimulants to national spirit and vitality.

法西斯政府积极压制对其意识形态的任何反对，通常会镇压任何反对它的运动。与他们的好战性质相一致，法西斯政府通常将暴力和战争视为民族精神和活力的兴奋剂。

Being politically Right-Wing, they maintain their position through firm control or compliance of the media, and most often engage in a vast array of lies and deception. These governments tend to be bigoted, if not racist, invariably require “enemies” to achieve public solidarity, and are often supremacist or at least ‘exceptional’ in their self-assessment. They either believe, or pretend to believe, that they have a license on truth. Large military budgets, the creation and demonisation of fictitious enemies to propagate fear and maintain population control, are all typical characteristics of a fascist regime, as is massive public surveillance.

作为政治上的右翼，他们通过严格控制或遵守媒体来维持自己的地位，并且最经常地参与各种各样的谎言和欺骗。这些政府即使不是种族主义者，也往往是偏执的，总是要求“敌人”来实现公众团结，并且往往是至上主义者，或者至少在自我评估中是“例外”的。他们要么相信，要么假装相信，他们有真理的许可证。巨额军事预算、制造和妖魔化虚构的敌人以传播恐惧和维持人口控制，以及大规模的公共监视，都是法西斯政权的典型特征。

In 1995 the Italian Scholar Umberto Eco produced a paper titled ‘Eternal Fascism’ (1) in which he examined the characteristics of fascist regimes. In 2003, Laurence W. Britt did an excellent and scholarly work in dissecting and categorising past fascist regimes (2), in which he revealed common threads that linked all of them in “patterns of national behavior and abuse of power”. He wrote that “Even a cursory study of these fascist and protofascist regimes reveals the absolutely striking convergence of their modus operandi, (which is) not a revelation … but useful … to shed needed light on current circumstances.” I am including here a composite of edited extracts from these two papers with additional commentary of my own. Significant statements by these two authors are in quotation marks. This is a list of the characteristics of fascist states, taken from Britt’s original article:

1995年，意大利学者翁贝托·埃科发表了一篇题为《永恒的法西斯主义》的论文，他在论文中考察了法西斯政权的特征。2003年，劳伦斯·W·布里特在剖析和分类过去的法西斯政权方面做了一项出色的学术工作（2），他揭示了将所有这些政权联系起来的共同线索，即“国家行为模式和滥用权力”。他写道：“即使对这些法西斯和原法西斯政权进行粗略的研究，也会发现他们的运作方式绝对惊人地趋同，（这）不是一种启示……而是有用的……有助于揭示当前的情况。”我在这里附上了这两篇论文的编辑摘录以及我自己的额外评论。这两位作者的重要声明用引号括起来。以下是法西斯国家的特征列表，摘自布里特的原始文章：

法西斯主义的早期预警信号 — Early Warning Signs of Fascism

强大而持续的民族主义 Powerful and continuing nationalism
军队的至高无上 Supremacy of the military
对国家安全的痴迷 Obsession with national security
对犯罪和惩罚的痴迷 Obsession with crime and punishment
识别敌人/替罪羊是一个统一的原因 Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
对人权的蔑视 Disdain for human rights
企业权力受到保护，劳动力受到压制 Corporate power is protected while labor power is suppressed
受控大众传媒 Controlled mass media
任人唯亲和腐败猖獗 Rampant cronyism and corruption
宗教与政府交织 Intertwined religion and government
舞弊选举 Fraudulent elections
对知识分子和艺术的蔑视 Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
猖獗的性别歧视 Rampant Sexism

If we examine the US on these categories, we find an almost perfect match. Certainly the US has the most strident nationalism of all nations today, with the hysteria of patriotism and flag-worship unabated and even increasing, with the delusional theory of American Exceptionalism as virulent as ever.

如果我们在这些类别上考察美国，我们会发现几乎完美的匹配。当然，美国拥有当今所有国家中最强烈的民族主义，爱国主义和国旗崇拜的歇斯底里有增无减，甚至越来越多，美国例外主义的妄想理论一如既往地恶毒。

Questioning these oppressive activities is now often portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous … as about Wounded Knee Massacre. Source

质疑这些压迫性活动现在经常被描述为不爱国甚至叛国……就像关于伤膝大屠杀一样。来源

There is no questionabout military supremacy, with the US spending almost twice as much on its military as the rest of the world combined and being by an order of magnitude the world’s largest arms manufacturer and dealer. Obama once stated flatly that for the US to remain ‘peaceful and prosperous’ it needed the world’s largest and most powerful military to maintain an overwhelming military supremacy. Obsession with issues of national security is so common in the US today they have become objects of ridicule. Every manner of information is withheld, every manner of lie is told, every manner of crime is committed, all with the excuse of ‘national security’. Britt noted that a national security apparatus was usually an instrument of oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints, with its actions always justified under the rubric of protecting “national security”, and that questioning these oppressive activities is now often portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.

军事霸权是毫无疑问的，美国在军事上的支出几乎是世界其他国家总和的两倍，并且是世界上最大的武器制造商和经销商。奥巴马曾明确表示，美国要保持“和平与繁荣”，就需要世界上最大、最强大的军队来保持压倒性的军事霸权。对国家安全问题的痴迷在今天的美国非常普遍，他们已经成为嘲笑的对象。以“国家安全”为借口，隐瞒各种信息，撒谎，犯罪。布里特指出，国家安全机构通常是一种压迫工具，秘密运作，不受任何限制，其行动总是以保护“国家安全”为借口，质疑这些压迫活动现在往往被描述为不爱国甚至叛国。

All the fascist regimes have an obsession with crime and punishment, Britt stating that most “maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations” – a perfect description of America today, including the ‘unchecked power and rampant abuse’ by the police. He also noted that in all these fascist states, ‘normal’ crime and political crime were almost interchangeable, “often merged into trumped-up criminal charges … used against political opponents of the regime”. These characteristics of crime, punishment and incarceration are all fields in which America leads the world by a wide margin today as we have already seen. In terms of enemies n being needed for solidarity and to maintain “a unifying cause”, the US is also the outstanding world leader, creating real and fictitious enemies not only for itself, but doing a rather good job in creating animosities throughout the world. In fact, a signature feature of the US is its worldwide propagation of regional unrest, as we see in Asia today, and with interference in the Ukraine, Russia, China, and dozens of other countries. Creating political chaos and large military risks is a common fascist trait, which is partly why military supremacy is necessary, black and white America attempting to partition the world into ideological factions, often in preparation for war.

所有法西斯政权都痴迷于犯罪和惩罚，布里特表示，大多数“维持着严厉的刑事司法制度，有大量监狱人口”——这是对当今美国的完美描述，包括警察的“不受约束的权力和猖獗的虐待”。他还指出，在所有这些法西斯国家，“正常”犯罪和政治犯罪几乎可以互换，“经常合并成捏造的刑事指控……用于对付政权的政治对手”。正如我们已经看到的那样，犯罪、惩罚和监禁的这些特征都是美国今天遥遥领先于世界的领域。在团结和维护“统一事业”所需的敌人方面，美国也是杰出的世界领导者，不仅为自己制造了真实和虚构的敌人，而且在全世界制造仇恨方面做得相当好。事实上，美国的一个标志性特征是它在全球范围内传播地区动荡，正如我们今天在亚洲看到的那样，并对乌克兰、俄罗斯、中国和其他几十个国家进行干涉。制造政治混乱和巨大的军事风险是法西斯的共同特征，这在一定程度上就是为什么军事霸权是必要的，美国黑人和白人试图将世界划分为意识形态派别，通常是为了备战。

With the fall of the USSR, the US turned immediately to other nations, never really forgetting Russia.

随着苏联的解体，美国立即转向其他国家，从未真正忘记俄罗斯。

For some decades, the US milked the Cold War for all it was worth, casting the Soviet Union as a bitter enemy and creating animosity where none would have existed. With the fall of the USSR, the US turned immediately to other nations, never really forgetting Russia, and then created its 9-11 ‘Pearl Harbor Moment’ that would permit it to have a permanent enemy in the person of ‘terrorism’, a war that will never be won since the US creates all the terrorist events to prolong it. It has the added advantage of demonising all the world’s Muslims while equating all Arabs with terrorists. Enough enemies here for a lifetime of fascism.

几十年来，美国榨取了冷战的所有价值，将苏联视为死敌，并在根本不存在的地方制造了敌意。随着苏联的解体，美国立即转向其他国家，从未真正忘记俄罗斯，然后创造了9-11“珍珠港时刻”，这将使它有一个永久的敌人，即“恐怖主义”，这场战争永远不会赢，因为美国制造了所有的恐怖事件来延长它。它还有一个额外的优势，那就是妖魔化世界上所有的穆斯林，同时将所有阿拉伯人等同于恐怖分子。这里有足够的敌人来对抗法西斯主义。

A fundamental practice of a fascist or pre-fascist government is demonisation of ‘the others’, outsiders who are the enemy.

法西斯或前法西斯政府的一个基本做法是妖魔化“他人”，即敌人的局外人。

For the people, these (usually imaginary) enemies provide not only an essential cornerstone of the fascist state but an essential adhesive for their fabricated national identity. Being thus united against a common other, fascism becomes deeply racist by definition and in practice. This demonisation of selected enemies is so intense that pacifism or a lack of belligerence equate to treason, due to sympathising with the enemy or, in today’s US lexicon, “giving aid and comfort to the enemy”. In the world of fascism, disagreement is treason. George Bush and Dick Cheney: “If you aren’t with us, you’re against us”. US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles: “There are only two kinds of people in the world: Christians who believe in capitalism, and the other kind.” In his study of these regimes, Britt wrote that “the most significant common thread” among them was this demonisation of other peoples as enemies of the state, “to divert attention, to shift blame, and to channel frustration into controlled directions”. He claimed that their methods of choice – propaganda and misinformation – were usually effective. Britt noted that “Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly”, which is precisely what happens today in the US, where increasingly it occurs that challengers of the system are labeled as terrorists, even to the extent of those operating food banks being classified as ‘food terrorists’.

对于人民来说，这些（通常是想象中的）敌人不仅是法西斯国家的重要基石，也是他们捏造的民族身份的重要粘合剂。因此，法西斯主义在定义和实践上都变得非常种族主义。这种对选定敌人的妖魔化是如此强烈，以至于和平主义或缺乏好战性等同于叛国，因为同情敌人，或者在今天的美国词典中，“给予敌人援助和安慰”。在法西斯主义的世界里，分歧就是叛国。乔治·布什和迪克·切尼：“如果你不与我们站在一起，你就是在反对我们”。美国国务卿约翰·福斯特·杜勒斯：“世界上只有两种人：信仰资本主义的基督徒和另一种人。”在对这些政权的研究中，布里特写道，其中“最重要的共同点”是将其他民族妖魔化为国家的敌人，“转移注意力，转移责任，并将沮丧情绪引导到受控的方向”。他声称，他们选择的方法——宣传和错误信息——通常是有效的。布里特指出，“这些政权的积极反对者不可避免地被贴上恐怖分子的标签，并受到相应的处理”，这正是今天在美国发生的情况，在美国，越来越多的系统挑战者被贴上了恐怖分子的标志，甚至那些经营食品银行的人被归类为“食品恐怖分子”。

No reasonable person can claim today that the US has any concern for human rights, certainly not any outside the continental US, and increasingly less within its borders. Except for Israel, the US has by far the worst record of human rights violations during the past several hundred years, far outstripping anything attributed to people like Stalin or Hitler, or even the Japanese. It is, after all, the US that built and still maintains the largest network of torture prisons and ships in the history of the world, even though the US media have removed this topic from the publishing list.

今天，任何理性的人都不能声称美国对人权有任何关注，当然在美国大陆以外也没有，在美国境内也越来越少。除了以色列，美国在过去几百年里侵犯人权的记录是迄今为止最糟糕的，远远超过了斯大林、希特勒甚至日本人。毕竟，尽管美国媒体已将这一话题从出版名单中删除，但美国建造并仍然维护着世界历史上最大的酷刑监狱和船只网络。

In terms of media control, the US government covers this not by ownership or direct censorship but by a cabal of closely-interwoven interests working on the same precise agenda, almost totally eliminating any necessity for overt acts.

在媒体控制方面，美国政府不是通过所有权或直接审查来掩盖这一点，而是通过一个密切交织的利益集团在同一个确切的议程上工作，几乎完全消除了任何公开行为的必要性。

Corruption and cronyism are as alive and virulent in American government today as they have ever been in any society at any time in recent history. The lobbies alone, working with the secret government, are more than sufficient evidence of this, with corruption increasing noticeably each year. Americans may quarrel with the point of an integration of religion and government but, while religion is theoretically separated from the state, it is joined at the hip in practice.

腐败和任人唯亲在今天的美国政府中与近代历史上任何时候的任何社会一样活跃和恶毒。仅游说团体与秘密政府合作就足以证明这一点，腐败现象每年都在明显增加。美国人可能会对宗教与政府融合的观点产生异议，但尽管宗教在理论上与国家分离，但在实践中却紧密相连。

We have George Bush telling us God told him to invade and destroy Iraq, Obama telling us Christ’s redemption of him provides him with solace on a daily basis, and a long list of other nonsense indicating that evangelical hysteria is never far removed from the government, even if only to mislead an ignorant population. Britt noted that religion and the ruling elite were tied together in some way.

我们有乔治·布什告诉我们，上帝告诉他入侵和摧毁伊拉克，奥巴马告诉我们，基督对他的救赎每天都为他提供慰藉，还有一长串其他无稽之谈表明，福音派歇斯底里症从未远离政府，即使只是误导无知的民众。布里特指出，宗教和统治精英在某种程度上是联系在一起的。

“The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior was incompatible with the precepts of the religion was generally swept under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents of the ‘godless’.”

“统治精英的行为与宗教戒律不相容的事实通常被掩盖了。宣传让人误以为统治精英是信仰的捍卫者和‘无神论’的反对者。”

Fraudulent elections are more overtly creeping into the American electoral system every year. We had George Bush’s brother removing more than 50,000 persons from the voter lists in Florida, all of whom were legitimate voters, and sufficient to provide an election victory. Even then, when votes were finally counted accurately, Bush was proven to have lost the election, but the consequences could not be reversed. As well, the new digital voting machines have been condemned even by those who designed them, as wide open to electoral fraud and manipulation to the extent of changing the outcome of every vote. Moreover, it is openly admitted that even without manipulation, an accurate count is not physically possible. But the government continues to roll out these systems, one would have to assume for their manipulation potential.

欺诈性选举每年都在更明显地潜入美国的选举体系。我们让乔治·布什的兄弟从佛罗里达州的选民名单上删除了5万多人，他们都是合法选民，足以带来选举胜利。即便如此，当选票最终被准确计算时，布什被证明输掉了选举，但后果无法逆转。此外，新的数字投票机甚至受到了设计者的谴责，因为它极易受到选举欺诈和操纵，甚至会改变每次投票的结果。此外，人们公开承认，即使没有操纵，也不可能进行准确的计数。但政府继续推出这些系统，人们不得不假设它们的操纵潜力。

It is widely recognised the US has been dumbing-down education for decades, starving the educational systems of funds, using increasingly unqualified part-time and adjunct teachers and professors, increasing tuition costs to the point where education will soon be unaffordable. We don’t need an education to see that the only possible result is an increasingly uneducated and ignorant population. In his study, Britt noted that “intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed.” This forms a perfect description of the situation today in the US, certainly on the crushing of dissent. I have no observation to make on the arts, but the US appears to qualify solidly on every point in the above list, and I see no reason for Americans or indeed anyone else to take comfort in this. Is the US a fascist state? How do we avoid answering in the affirmative?

人们普遍认识到，几十年来，美国一直在降低教育水平，使教育系统资金短缺，使用越来越不合格的兼职和兼职教师和教授，增加学费，以至于教育很快将负担不起。我们不需要接受教育，就能看到唯一可能的结果是人口越来越没有受过教育，越来越无知。布里特在他的研究中指出，“知识和学术自由被认为是对国家安全和爱国理想的颠覆。大学受到严格控制；政治上不可靠的教师受到骚扰或被淘汰。非正统的思想或异议表达受到强烈攻击、压制或镇压。”这完美地描述了当今美国的情况，当然是对异议的镇压。我对艺术没有什么看法，但美国似乎在上述列表中的每一点上都有资格，我认为美国人或其他任何人都没有理由为此感到安慰。美国是法西斯国家吗？我们如何避免回答肯定？

To people of a country like the US, who are deprived of a clear national identity, fascism creates one by stoking the fires of a false nationalism though propagandising the pathologically false conviction that “the world’s greatest privilege is to be born or to live in this country”, that every citizen “belongs to the best people in the world”, all of whom are, by definition, “good”. US President Calvin Coolidge:

对于像美国这样被剥夺了明确民族身份的国家的人民来说，法西斯主义通过煽动虚假的民族主义之火，宣扬“世界上最大的特权是出生或生活在这个国家”的病态错误信念，即每个公民“属于世界上最好的人”，而根据定义，所有人都是“好人”，从而创造了一个明确的民族身份。美国总统卡尔文·柯立芝：

“To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race”.

“在美国宪法下生活是人类有史以来最大的政治特权”。

Michael Hirsh used the same jingoistic nonsense to justify American cannibalisation of the world by stating that American global domination was “the greatest gift the world has received in … possibly all of recorded history.” Britt noted the powerful propagation and displays of nationalistic expression,

迈克尔·赫什（Michael Hirsh）用同样的沙文主义胡说八道来为美国蚕食世界辩护，他说美国的全球统治是“世界在……可能是所有有记录的历史中收到的最伟大的礼物”。布里特指出，民族主义表达的强大传播和展示，

“From the prominent displays of flags and ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism.”

“从显眼的国旗和无处不在的徽章上，无论是政权本身还是陷入狂热的公民，表现爱国民族主义的热情都是显而易见的。表达这种民族主义的共同主题是口号、对军队的自豪感和团结的要求。”

To underscore the above, Global Research published an article in March of 2015 titled “The End of Canada in Ten Steps: A Conversation with Naomi Wolf” (3), in which it was noted that she studied “the way open societies were crushed from within by authoritarian elements”, such as those existing in all Right-Wing countries today, and claimed there was “a ‘blueprint’ followed by all dictatorial rulers composed of ten steps” as follows:

为了强调上述情况，Global Research于2015年3月发表了一篇题为《加拿大的终结：十步走：与Naomi Wolf的对话》的文章（3），其中指出，她研究了“开放社会被专制分子从内部摧毁的方式”，例如当今所有右翼国家都存在的专制分子，并声称“所有独裁统治者都遵循一个由十步组成的‘蓝图’”，如下：

引发外部和内部威胁 Invoke an external and internal threat
建立秘密监狱 Establish secret prison
发展准军事部队 Develop a paramilitary force
监视普通公民 Surveil ordinary citizens
渗透公民群体 Infiltrate citizen groups
任意拘留和释放公民 Arbitrarily detain and release citizens
针对关键个人 Target key individuals
限制媒体 Restrict the press
将批评视为“间谍”，将异议视为“叛国” Cast criticism as “espionage” and dissent as “treason”
颠覆法治 Subvert the rule of law

Global Research finally noted that “In her 2007 book ‘The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot‘, Naomi Wolf not only described this formula for fascism, she outlined how these repressive measures are in evidence in modern day America.”

Global Research最后指出，“在2007年出版的《美国末日：给一位年轻爱国者的警告信》一书中，Naomi Wolf不仅描述了法西斯主义的这一公式，还概述了这些镇压措施在现代美国是如何显现的。”

There is one other item pertaining to fascism in America that contains elements of all characteristics we’ve discussed, one which Hollywood and the media have taken great pains to develop though the ground was already very fertile indeed, and this category is heroes and super-heroes. The US has always glorified war and war heroes, describing American cannon-fodder as “sons of freedom giving their lives for democracy”, when they were simply massacring impoverished civilians to enrich the bankers. Eco noted that “In every mythology the hero is an exceptional being, but in Fascist ideology heroism is the norm”, with the fascist hero impatient to die, but who, in his impatience, “more frequently sends other people to death”.

还有一个与美国法西斯主义有关的项目，它包含了我们讨论过的所有特征的元素，好莱坞和媒体已经煞费苦心地开发了这个项目，尽管土地已经非常肥沃，这个类别是英雄和超级英雄。美国一直赞美战争和战争英雄，将美国炮灰描述为“为民主献出生命的自由之子”，当时他们只是屠杀贫困平民以丰富银行家。生态指出，“在每一个神话中，英雄都是一个特殊的存在，但在法西斯意识形态中，英雄主义是常态”，法西斯英雄急于死去，但在他的不耐烦中，“更频繁地把其他人送去死亡”。

On March 9, 1945, Major General Curtis E. LeMay watched the first of more than 300 bombers lift off from Guam’s crushed coral runway for a midnight strike on Tokyo some 1,500 miles to the north. He planned to unleash his bombers armed with napalm incendiaries on downtown Tokyo’s crowded neighborhoods. One of the world’s most congested cities, the capital counted more than 100,000 men, women, and children per square mile, an area LeMay hoped to incinerate by dawn. This was no ordinary mission—and LeMay knew it. This was murder. Source

1945年3月9日，柯蒂斯·E·勒梅少将目睹了300多架轰炸机中的第一架从关岛破碎的珊瑚跑道起飞，对北部约1500英里处的东京进行午夜袭击。他计划在东京市中心拥挤的街区释放装有凝固汽油弹燃烧弹的轰炸机。作为世界上最拥挤的城市之一，首都每平方英里有超过10万名男女老少，勒梅希望在黎明前将这一地区焚烧。这不是普通的任务，勒梅也知道，这是谋杀。来源

This black and white religious proto-fascism which has perhaps always existed in America was the seedbed for the worship of heroes and winners. Americans, in their desperate jingoistic desire to be “good” and to “win”, and in a bid to prove their overwhelming moral superiority, turned from reality to fiction and gave us Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Captain America. All are Christian proto-fascists engaged in fictional battles of good against evil, with the Americans living vicariously through these imaginary beings, sharing in their awesome power and moral righteousness, and whose costumes inevitably bear labels saying “Made in America”. And indeed we cannot watch an American movie without encountering this irritating white supremacist ideology. Think of movies like Avatar or Independence Day; their entire purpose is to fuel this ideological jingoism and make all viewers “proud to be American”. But it’s all a fiction. The real American heroes are not Superman or Spiderman but Curtis LeMay, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan and Madeleine Albright, all criminally-insane psychopathic killers.

这种黑人和白人的宗教原型法西斯主义可能一直存在于美国，是崇拜英雄和胜利者的温床。美国人出于对“善良”和“胜利”的绝望沙文主义渴望，为了证明他们压倒性的道德优势，从现实转向虚构，给了我们超人、蝙蝠侠、蜘蛛侠和美国队长。他们都是基督教的原始法西斯主义者，从事着虚构的善与恶的斗争，美国人通过这些虚构的存在来替代生活，分享他们令人敬畏的力量和道德正义，他们的服装不可避免地带有“美国制造”的标签。事实上，我们看一部美国电影，必然会遇到这种令人恼火的白人至上主义意识形态。想想像《阿凡达》或《独立日》这样的电影；他们的全部目的是助长这种意识形态的沙文主义，让所有观众“为自己是美国人而自豪”。但这都是虚构的。真正的美国英雄不是超人或蜘蛛侠，而是柯蒂斯·勒梅、亨利·基辛格、罗纳德·里根和马德琳·奥尔布赖特，他们都是犯罪精神变态的杀手。

It is interesting that a fascist government, with its instinctive hatred of socialism, propagates “fascist socialism” which nurtures and feeds corporations while normal socialism nurtures the general population. What we might call “corporate socialism”, which is what exists today in the US, is a fairly precise definition of fascism.

有趣的是，法西斯政府出于对社会主义的本能仇恨，宣扬“法西斯社会主义”，培育和养活企业，而正常的社会主义则培育普通民众。我们可以称之为“公司社会主义”，这就是今天在美国存在的，是对法西斯主义的一个相当精确的定义。

Tax benefits that favor the rich either primarily or exclusively, a high income inequality, the dismantling of any social safety net, different laws for the rich and powerful than for the poor, corporate immunity for crimes, a lack of corporate regulation and oversight, are all typical characteristics. Britt noted that “Since organized labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless. The US government and elites, except for one brief historical period, have always strived to destroy labor to protect the profits of big business”. In Britt’s study, “the poor formed an underclass, (and) being poor was considered akin to a vice.” And in which nation today have color and poverty been criminalised? The world’s largest fascist state – America.

主要或完全有利于富人的税收优惠、高收入不平等、任何社会安全网的拆除、富人和权贵与穷人的不同法律、公司对犯罪的豁免权、缺乏公司监管和监督，这些都是典型的特征。布里特指出，“由于有组织的劳工被视为一个可以挑战统治精英及其企业盟友的政治霸权的权力中心，它不可避免地被粉碎或变得无能为力。除了一个短暂的历史时期，美国政府和精英们一直在努力摧毁劳工，以保护大企业的利润”。在布里特的研究中，“穷人形成了一个下层阶级，（而且）贫穷被认为类似于一种恶习。”今天，哪个国家将肤色和贫困定为犯罪？世界上最大的法西斯国家——美国。

He also noted rampant cronyism and corruption between the political and corporate elites and stated that “With the national security apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption was largely unconstrained and not well understood by the general population.” Corruption and cronyism are as alive and virulent in American government today as they have ever been in any society at any time in recent history. The lobbies alone, working with the secret government, are more than sufficient evidence of this, with corruption increasing noticeably each year. Similarly, no reasonable person can question any longer the suppression of labor and the protection and enhancement of corporate power in America. We have already covered in detail the trashing of the social contract, the destruction of labor protections and the evisceration of the middle class. No further evidence is necessary.

他还指出了政治和企业精英之间猖獗的任人唯亲和腐败现象，并表示“随着国家安全机构受到控制，媒体受到压制，这种腐败在很大程度上不受约束，普通民众也不太了解。”腐败和任人唯贤在今天的美国政府中与近代历史上任何时候的任何社会一样活跃和恶毒。仅游说团体与秘密政府合作就足以证明这一点，腐败现象每年都在明显增加。同样，任何理性的人都不能再质疑美国对劳工的压制以及对公司权力的保护和增强。我们已经详细介绍了社会契约的破坏、劳动保护的破坏和中产阶级的被掏空。不需要进一步的证据。

There is another alarming category that evidences even more strongly the threats to civil society from the authoritarian and fascist police-state mentality that is increasingly permeating all of the US, this involving trivial civil disputes that should in no case involve the police. In July of 2014, a Minneapolis man was ejected from a Southwest Airlines flight with his two children for questioning why he was qualified for priority boarding but his two children were not. He posted a Tweet that said, “Wow, rudest agent in Denver. Kimberly S, gate C39, not happy”. Southwest Airlines’ gate attendants saw the tweet, ejected Watson and his children from the flight, informing him he now qualified as a “safety threat”, threatening to have him arrested unless he immediately deleted his post.

还有另一个令人担忧的类别，更有力地证明了威权主义和法西斯警察国家心态对公民社会的威胁，这种心态正日益渗透到整个美国，这涉及琐碎的民事纠纷，在任何情况下都不应该涉及警察。2014年7月，一名明尼阿波利斯男子和他的两个孩子被西南航空公司的一架航班驱逐出境，原因是他质疑为什么自己有资格优先登机，但他的两个子女没有。他在推特上写道：“哇，丹佛最粗鲁的特工。金伯利S，C39号登机口，不高兴。”。西南航空公司的登机口服务员看到了这条推文，将沃森和他的孩子们赶出了飞机，通知他现在符合“安全威胁”的条件，并威胁要逮捕他，除非他立即删除自己的帖子。

In the US today, kindergarten teachers regularly call the police to arrest children who misbehave. A Chinese woman tourist in New Hampshire was tasered and assaulted by police when a clerk at an Apple store complained she wanted to buy two phones. In another case, a father in New Hampshire attended a parent-school meeting to protest the classroom use of sexually-explicit reading material provided to his teen-age daughter. When the man exceeded the arbitrary maximum of two minutes speaking time, the principal called the police and had the man arrested. In each case, no ‘law’ was violated so the police used generic charges of “causing a public disturbance” or some other such nuisance charge.

在今天的美国，幼儿园教师经常报警逮捕行为不端的儿童。在新罕布什尔州，一名中国女游客遭到警察的电击和袭击，当时一家苹果商店的店员抱怨她想买两部手机。在另一个案例中，新罕布什尔州的一位父亲参加了一次家长会，抗议在课堂上使用提供给他十几岁女儿的露骨性读物。当该男子超过任意规定的两分钟发言时间上限时，校长报警并逮捕了该男子。在每种情况下，都没有违反任何“法律”，因此警方使用了“扰乱公共秩序”的通用指控或其他类似的妨害指控。

These false charges may well be dismissed by a court but still present a serious violation of civil rights and a gross exaggeration of the ability of individuals to create their own laws and of the police to enforce them. In the Southwest Airlines case above, had the man refused to delete his negative post, the agent would certainly have called the police who, cast from the same authoritarian mold, would have automatically arrested and charged him, probably with ‘Twitter Terrorism’. The man would likely have escaped in the end, but it would have been a long and expensive climb out from the bottom of that hole. In the case of the Apple store, the female customer was physically knocked to the ground and tasered by police immediately on their arrival. In neither case did the police make even minimal attempts to ascertain the facts. In fact, the only salient “fact” was that of a civilian challenging any kind of authority, even the kind that is so weak as to be invisible. No civilian has any practical defense against an airline agent or shop clerk who testifies that he “caused a public disturbance”, nor against police charges for having done so. The only immunity comes from wealth or political power.

这些虚假指控很可能被法院驳回，但仍然严重侵犯了公民权利，严重夸大了个人制定自己的法律和警察执行法律的能力。在上述西南航空公司的案件中，如果该男子拒绝删除他的负面帖子，特工肯定会报警，而警察也会按照同样的威权模式，自动逮捕并指控他，可能是“推特恐怖主义”。这名男子最终可能会逃脱，但从那个洞的底部爬出来将是一个漫长而昂贵的过程。在苹果商店的案例中，这名女顾客在抵达后立即被警察撞倒在地并用泰瑟枪扫射。在这两起案件中，警方都没有做出任何微小的努力来确定事实。事实上，唯一突出的“事实”是，一名平民挑战任何形式的权威，即使是那种软弱到看不见的权威。任何平民都无法对航空公司代理人或店员证明其“扰乱公共秩序”进行实际辩护，也无法对警方的指控进行辩护。唯一的豁免权来自财富或政治权力。

There are countless similar cases which all have in common an implicit assumption that anyone, even in a position of minimal authority such as a KFC clerk, has the power to dictate imaginary rules that obtain the force of law with the police and which, if challenged, will result in arrest. Individual private citizens, as least those lacking obvious wealth or power, are increasingly relegated to the social trash bin. Incidents such as these may appear individually trivial and unconnected, but they are not trivial in bulk and are indications of a frightening authoritarianism infecting all of America, part of the widespread rush to fascism occurring in all politically Right-Wing nations, especially in the US. That this should be such a common experience is a frightening and almost terrifying development, where one now fears to enter any dispute with even the most minor employee or clerk, in almost any context, and regardless of the justification.

有无数类似的案件，它们都有一个共同的隐含假设，即任何人，即使是像肯德基店员这样权力最小的人，都有权制定想象中的规则，这些规则在警方获得法律效力，如果受到质疑，将导致逮捕。个人公民，尤其是那些缺乏明显财富或权力的人，越来越多地被扔进了社会垃圾桶。这样的事件可能看起来微不足道，毫无关联，但它们并不是大规模的，表明一种可怕的威权主义正在感染整个美国，这是所有政治右翼国家，尤其是美国普遍出现的法西斯主义浪潮的一部分。这应该是一种普遍的经历，这是一个可怕的、几乎可怕的发展，人们现在害怕在几乎任何情况下，无论理由如何，与哪怕是最微不足道的员工或职员发生任何纠纷。

American fascist authoritarianism is based on Joseph Stalin’s motto: “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.”

美国法西斯威权主义基于约瑟夫·斯大林的座右铭：“一个人的死亡是悲剧；一百万人的死亡是统计数据。”

When common citizens are afraid to challenge the most trivial injustices in civil society, when the people as individuals have been moved to the bottom of the priority list, when even store clerks have effective arrest authority, this is authoritarian fascism – a classic definition of a de facto fascist police state. In the US today there are so many similar examples where this, the most fundamental of civil rights – the right to voice complaint – has been converted to a criminal act. Those instances involved mostly the police badly exceeding their authority, but this category involves mere civilians with no actual invested civil authority of any kind, and yet in each case legal authority being presumed and exercised entirely at the whim of these same persons. While Americans please themselves by accusing China of being authoritarian, it is in fact the US that is both authoritarian and fascist. China is today a very human civil society compared to Transformed America.

当普通公民不敢挑战公民社会中最微不足道的不公正时，当人们作为个人被排在优先事项列表的底部时，当甚至店员都有有效的逮捕权时，这就是威权法西斯主义——事实上的法西斯警察国家的经典定义。在今天的美国，有很多类似的例子，其中最基本的公民权利——表达不满的权利——已被转化为犯罪行为。这些事件大多涉及警察严重越权，但这一类仅涉及平民，没有任何实际的民事权力，但在每种情况下，法律权力都是完全由这些人随意推定和行使的。虽然美国人通过指责中国独裁来取悦自己，但事实上，美国既是独裁又是法西斯。与转型的美国相比，今天的中国是一个非常人性化的公民社会。

In all the world’s fascist states, increasing state criminality and civil rights violations are always accompanied by an extreme and even obsessive determination to control information and fact, as well as a surprising viciousness in pursuing those revealing embarrassing truths. This is precisely the situation today in the US and, contrary to all claims about a prevailing rule of law, American authorities increasingly trash civil rights on the fictitious grounds of defending national security.Instead of enacting legislation to curb abusive surveillance and the multitude of crimes and abuses by all levels of the state, they are obsessed with hunting down and punishing whistleblowers. It is abundantly clear the US has no intention of ceasing any of its illegal practices anywhere in the world, and the viciousness of its witch hunts is entirely to instill sufficient fear in American hearts that soon nobody will dare to report even the most egregious crimes or violations.

在世界上所有法西斯国家，国家犯罪和侵犯公民权利行为的增加总是伴随着控制信息和事实的极端甚至痴迷的决心，以及在追求那些令人尴尬的真相时令人惊讶的恶毒。这正是当今美国的情况，与所有关于普遍法治的说法相反，美国当局越来越多地以捍卫国家安全为借口剥夺公民权利。他们没有制定立法来遏制滥用监控以及州各级的大量犯罪和虐待行为，而是痴迷于追捕和惩罚举报人。很明显，美国无意停止其在世界任何地方的任何非法行为，其恶毒的政治迫害完全是为了在美国人心中灌输足够的恐惧，以至于很快就没有人敢报告即使是最恶劣的罪行或违法行为。

At this early December 2010 summit in Kazakhstan, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (center left) expressed her regrets to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon (far left) for the leaked disclosures regarding US diplomats spying on the UN.

在2010年12月初于哈萨克斯坦举行的这次峰会上，美国国务卿Hillary Clinton（中左）Ban Ki-moon就美国外交官监视联合国的泄密事件向联合国秘书长（最左）表示遗憾。

When Wikileaks broke the news about Hillary Clinton’s astonishingly stupid directive ordering State Department staff to spy on UN officials and other foreign dignitaries, it was a foregone conclusion the woman wouldn’t rest until Julian Assange was dead or in prison for life.When Manning embarrassed the government with revelations of a widespread lust for killing, US officials acted with a Neanderthal vengeance simply to inflict as much lasting pain as possible. We can also expect that Edward Snowden’s life will be measurably shortened.

当维基解密爆料希拉里·克林顿令人震惊的愚蠢指令，命令国务院工作人员监视联合国官员和其他外国政要时，可以肯定的是，这位女士在朱利安·阿桑奇去世或终身监禁之前不会休息。当曼宁揭露了广泛的杀戮欲望，让政府感到尴尬时，美国官员采取了尼安德特人的报复行动，只是为了尽可能地造成持久的痛苦。我们还可以预期，爱德华·斯诺登的生命将明显缩短。

In 2021, we documented 142 assaults of journalists. For the second consecutive year, the majority of those assaults came during protests: 95 percent in 2020 and 77 percent in 2021. The year began with a protest that became a riot, as the US Capitol was stormed by a mob attempting to stop certification of election results. The Tracker documented at least 16 journalists assaulted in Washington, DC, while covering those events, many of whom were targeted. Source

2021 年，我们记录了 142 起袭击记者事件。连续第二年，大部分袭击事件发生在抗议活动期间： 2020 年为 95%，2021 年为 77%。今年年初，一群暴徒冲进美国国会大厦，试图阻止对选举结果的认证，抗议演变成了骚乱。追踪》记录了至少 16 名记者在华盛顿特区报道这些事件时遭到袭击，其中许多人都是袭击目标。资料来源

The US media is not nearly so free as many people believe. Bernays’ mythology machine tells us the US is today and has always been the world leader in media openness, the fabled “freedom of the press”for which Americans believe they are so famous, but that has never been true. Reporters without Borders published a report stating that the US is very low and still falling on the list of press freedom, being about 50th out of 180 countries, below many dictatorships and axis of evil republics, and far below China and other civilised nations.In particular, the US is accused of employing an “overly broad and abusive” interpretation of the concept of national securityto restrict information. Ever since Lippman and Bernays got their hooks into the White House, there has been a concerted strategy to manipulate global perception, misusing the media as the main channel of misinformation. The falsehoods, fabricated news stories, biased and twisted reporting will never be exposed because the media are not only reading from the same script but are in a real sense part of the origination, due to their ownership. If the media’s own interest in promoting the agenda is not strong enough, US authorities have exerted tremendous pressure to report events in an appropriate manner. Reporters criticizing those in power may be smeared by the government and targeted for arrest. Indeed, the government treats real reporters as terrorists, and journalists are often targeted under counter-terrorism laws.

美国媒体并不像许多人认为的那么自由。贝尔奈斯神话机器告诉我们，美国今天是，而且一直是媒体开放的世界领导者，美国人认为他们以“新闻自由”而闻名，但事实并非如此。无国界记者组织发表了一份报告，称美国的新闻自由度很低，仍在180个国家中排名第50位，低于许多独裁政权和邪恶轴心国，远低于中国和其他文明国家。特别是，美国被指控对国家安全概念采用“过于宽泛和滥用”的解释来限制信息。自从利普曼和伯奈斯进入白宫以来，就有一种协调一致的策略来操纵全球认知，滥用媒体作为错误信息的主要渠道。谎言、捏造的新闻故事、有偏见和扭曲的报道永远不会被曝光，因为媒体不仅从同一个剧本中阅读，而且由于其所有权，在真正意义上是起源的一部分。如果媒体自身对推动议程的兴趣不够强烈，美国当局就施加了巨大的压力，要求以适当的方式报道事件。批评当权者的记者可能会被政府抹黑，并成为逮捕的目标。事实上，政府将真正的记者视为恐怖分子，记者经常成为反恐法的目标。

Not only has the government imprisoned media owners and reporters for criticisms, it also claims the power to indefinitely detain journalists without trial or access to an attorney. When prize-winning journalists Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Wolf and Daniel Ellsbergsued the government over the indefinite detention of Americans, the judge insistently asked the government attorneys five times whether journalists like Hedges could be indefinitely detained simply for interviewing and then writing about official criminality. The government refused to promise that such journalists would not be imprisoned for life without any right to ever see a lawyer, a judge or a courtroom. How is this materially different from the oppression, civil repression and secrecy we find in totalitarian and fascist dictatorships?

政府不仅因批评而监禁媒体所有者和记者，还声称有权无限期拘留记者，而无需审判或聘请律师。当获奖记者克里斯·赫奇斯（Chris Hedges）、诺姆·乔姆斯基（Noam Chomsky）、娜奥米·沃尔夫（Naomi Wolf）和丹尼尔·埃尔斯伯格（DanielEllsberg）就无限期拘留美国人一事起诉政府时，法官坚持问政府律师五次，像赫奇斯这样的记者是否可以仅仅因为采访并撰写有关官方犯罪的文章而被无限期拘留。政府拒绝承诺，这些记者不会被终身监禁，没有任何权利见律师、法官或法庭。这与我们在极权主义和法西斯独裁政权中发现的压迫、公民镇压和秘密有什么实质性的不同？

Leonard Downie, a former executive editor of The Washington Post, interviewed many reporters and editors and wrote in a 30-page analysis, “In Washington, government officials are increasingly afraid to talk to the press. The Obama administration’s aggressive war on leaks and its determined efforts to control information that the news media needs to hold the government accountable for its actions are without an equal since the Nixon administration.”Since that time, many journalist sources have been prosecuted on felony charges for talking to reporters. Today,journalists and any of their sources who are even ‘suspected’ of discussing embarrassing information are investigated and forcibly subjected to lie-detector tests and scrutiny of their telephone and e-mail records.In late 2013 it was revealed that US Federal investigators had secretly and without notice seized the home, office and mobile phone records of more than 100 reporters and editors of the Associated Press.These records apparently contain detail of months of communication with confidential sources that the NYT claimed provided a road map to all the AP’s news gathering operations, activities and sources. This is part of an aggressive government policy to identify, intimidate and prosecute all those leaking information on the illegal activities of US government agencies. The Administration’s McCarthy witch hunts are taking a further distressing turn with the creation of the “Insider Threat Program”,a new internal surveillance program in every government agency whereby all co-workers spy on each other and report each other to the authorities.

《华盛顿邮报》前执行主编伦纳德·唐尼采访了许多记者和编辑，并在一份30页的分析中写道：“在华盛顿，政府官员越来越害怕与媒体交谈。自尼克松政府以来，奥巴马政府对泄密的积极战争及其控制新闻媒体需要对其行为负责的信息的坚定努力是无与伦比的。”从那时起，许多记者消息来源因与记者交谈而被指控重罪。如今，记者及其任何消息来源，即使被怀疑讨论了令人尴尬的信息，也会受到调查，并被迫接受测谎仪测试以及对其电话和电子邮件记录的审查。2013年底，据透露，美国联邦调查人员在没有通知的情况下秘密扣押了美联社100多名记者和编辑的家庭、办公室和手机记录。这些记录显然包含了与机密消息来源数月沟通的详细信息，《纽约时报》声称这些信息为所有美联社的新闻采集行动、活动和消息来源提供了路线图。这是政府积极政策的一部分，旨在识别、恐吓和起诉所有泄露美国政府机构非法活动信息的人。随着“内部威胁计划”的创建，麦卡锡政府的政治迫害正在发生进一步的令人痛苦的转变，这是每个政府机构的一项新的内部监控计划，所有同事都会互相监视并向当局报告。

Perhaps the single greatest scam ever devised is the way the US-centralized empire found that it can kill and displace people in geostrategically crucial and resource-rich regions under the guise of fighting terrorism, then when violence and extremism inevitably arises out of that mass-scale trauma they can use it to justify even more interventionism under the guise of fighting terrorism. We are ruled by monsters. Source

也许有史以来最大的骗局就是美国集权帝国发现，它可以打着打击恐怖主义的幌子，在地缘战略上至关重要且资源丰富的地区杀人越货，然后当暴力和极端主义不可避免地从这种大规模的创伤中产生时，他们就可以以此为借口，打着打击恐怖主义的幌子，实施更多的干涉主义。我们被怪物统治着。资料来源

Anything that might challenge the legality, wisdom or cause for the US so-called “war on terror” is treated brutally, with civil liberties not only being threatened but removed, and with some individuals losing their lives. Pulitzer Prize winning correspondent James Risen said, “The more direct part is to frighten people in the government from talking, to have a chilling effect on whistle blowers, to make them understand there is a big brother that will get them if they step out of line”.These widespread attempts to instill fear, appear to be having the desired effect. Jeff Cohen, a New York journalism professor said there have been many incidents in the US where journalists were arrested, harassed, and detained for political reasons. “What shocked me when I worked at cable television news, at MSNBC and elsewhere, is how timid journalists were in this country”. “In a survey performed by the Pew Research Center and the Columbia Journalism Review, it was documented that in the US there exists “a tremendous self-censorship by journalists”, with almost half of journalists and broadcasters claiming they have purposely avoided newsworthy stories or changed the tone, to serve the economic or political interests of other parties. These might be advertisers, politicians, or some of the more powerful lobby groups.”

任何可能挑战美国所谓的“反恐战争”的合法性、智慧或事业的事情都会受到残酷对待，公民自由不仅受到威胁，而且被剥夺，一些人甚至失去了生命。普利策奖获奖记者詹姆斯·里森说：“更直接的部分是恐吓政府中的人不要说话，对举报人产生寒蝉效应，让他们明白，如果他们越界，有一个大哥会抓住他们”。这些广泛的灌输恐惧的尝试似乎正在产生预期的效果。纽约新闻学教授杰夫·科恩表示，美国发生了许多记者因政治原因被捕、骚扰和拘留的事件。“当我在有线电视新闻、MSNBC和其他地方工作时，让我震惊的是，这个国家的记者是多么胆小。”。皮尤研究中心和《哥伦比亚新闻评论》进行的一项调查显示，美国存在“记者的巨大自我审查”，近一半的记者和广播公司声称他们故意回避有新闻价值的故事或改变基调，以服务于其他政党的经济或政治利益。这些政党可能是广告商、政客或一些更强大的游说团体

Journalists and reporters in all parts of the US today are regularly threatened, roughed-up, beaten and injured, and often arrested and imprisoned by Federal agencies and local police, yet the mainstream US news media are both so indoctrinated and intimidated by US authorities that they almost never report these occurrences, preferring instead to sanctimoniously criticise journalistic disputes in other nations. The media in major cities like Washington, New York and Los Angeles complain that local police and federal authorities are consistently and increasingly hostile to reporters writing on government malfeasance or covering public instances of police brutality during protests and other such events. During the Occupy Wall Street protests, many dozens of media personnel were attacked by police, pepper-sprayed in their eyes, beaten with police batons, forcibly evicted from protest areas, and generally treated very aggressively. The police forces have become increasingly militaristic and belligerent with media personnel documenting that aggression against the public. In response to the publicity given their past brutalities, the police increasingly go to great lengths to identify journalists, demanding all reporters identify themselves and then physically transporting them far from the scene so they will be unable to see and report on police brutalities. In an article in the Huffington Post, police were quoted as claiming the rules were “to protect journalists from being harmed during the operation”.

如今，美国各地的记者和记者经常受到威胁、殴打、受伤，并经常被联邦机构和地方警察逮捕和监禁，但美国主流新闻媒体都受到美国当局的灌输和恐吓，几乎从不报道这些事件，而是更愿意伪善地批评其他国家的新闻纠纷。华盛顿、纽约和洛杉矶等主要城市的媒体抱怨称，当地警方和联邦当局对报道政府渎职行为或报道抗议活动和其他此类事件中警察暴行的记者一贯且越来越敌视。在“占领华尔街”抗议活动中，数十名媒体人员遭到警察袭击，眼睛被喷胡椒，被警棍殴打，被强行驱逐出抗议区，并普遍受到非常严厉的对待。警察部队变得越来越军国主义和好战，媒体人员记录了对公众的侵略。为了回应公众对他们过去暴行的关注，警方越来越不遗余力地识别记者，要求所有记者表明身份，然后将他们运送到远离现场的地方，这样他们就无法看到和报道警察的暴行。《赫芬顿邮报》的一篇文章援引警方的话说，这些规定是“为了保护记者在行动中免受伤害”。

Barrett Brown. Source

Barrett Brown, a well-known and well-published US investigative journalist is facing 105 years in prison for revealing US government secrets. Actually, he didn’t “reveal” anything. What he did do was post an article on the internet that contained a link to information the US government considered not “top secret” but simply “sensitive”. His sole “crime” was to post that link to information that was widely available on the Internet and that the public could have seen on many dozens of websites. Brown is now officially “an enemy of the state”, has been charged with a 17-count indictment, and Federal prosecutors applied for a gag order preventing Brown, his lawyers and anyone else from commenting on the case or even admitting it exists. What better way to silence a “dissident” than to put him in prison for more than 100 years? It is frightening to think that a government can arbitrarily and without prior notice proclaim virtually anything as ‘politically sensitive’, including but not limited to criticism of the government, regardless of how widely-available that information might be, and have the simple posting of a link result in life imprisonment. This vicious and widespread abuse, coordinated with government agencies, law enforcement and the courts, is the major weapon used by the US government to silence political activism, now standard procedure by US prosecutors to intimidate and silence those who criticise questionable or illegal activities by US government agencies. As always, the US media are totally silent, preferring to deflect public attention in the US writing by outrageous articles on a CIA-sponsored seditious anarchist being detained in some other nation. One thing the US desperately needs, but does not have, is a ‘free press’.

Barrett Brown是一位知名且出版良好的美国调查记者，因泄露美国政府机密而面临105年监禁。事实上，他没有“透露”任何东西。他所做的就是在互联网上发布一篇文章，其中包含一个链接，链接到美国政府认为不是“绝密”而是“敏感”的信息。他唯一的“罪行”是发布了互联网上广泛可用的信息链接，公众可以在几十个网站上看到这些信息。布朗现在正式成为“国家的敌人”，被指控犯有17项罪名，联邦检察官申请了一项禁言令，阻止布朗、他的律师和其他任何人对此案发表评论，甚至承认其存在。还有什么比把一个“持不同政见者”关进监狱100多年更好的方法来让他闭嘴呢？令人恐惧的是，一个政府可以在没有事先通知的情况下任意宣布几乎任何政治敏感的事情，包括但不限于对政府的批评，无论这些信息有多广泛，并且仅仅发布一个链接就会导致终身监禁。这种与政府机构、执法部门和法院协调的恶性和广泛的滥用行为是美国政府用来压制政治激进主义的主要武器，现在是美国检察官恐吓和压制那些批评美国政府机构可疑或非法活动的人的标准程序。与往常一样，美国媒体完全保持沉默，更愿意通过发表关于中央情报局支持的煽动性无政府主义者在其他国家被拘留的离谱文章来转移美国公众的注意力。美国迫切需要但没有的一件事是新闻自由。

A group of well-known American journalists jointly published a book in 2002 that contained examples from their personal experiences that effectively destroyed the American myth of a free press. The book was titled ‘Into the Buzzsaw’, and contains documented evidence of government intimidation, media suppression and control of news. Some of the stories involved massacres by US troops in North Korea, proof that the US abandoned many POWs in Vietnam, documented evidence of CIA direct involvement in trafficking cocaine and heroin, and the fraudulent ‘news’ that emanates from most US media newsrooms. Several wrote of government intimidation, loss of employment and their blacklisting, experienced when they either refused to back off on stories that almost certainly involved serious government crimes resulting in many deaths, or when they refused to falsify reports on the results of their investigations. Many were offered ‘consulting contracts’ of hundreds of thousands of dollars to cease their investigations, but refused and were terminated. Because these journalists challenged the US government and military on stories like the crash of TWA Flight 800, or threatened to expose discoveries about Monsanto and its GM seed or growth hormones in milk, they were not only harassed and threatened, but lost their jobs and careers.They are now what is termed “radioactive”, in that no media outlet will hire them and almost no publishers will accept their books or articles; they have been totally excommunicated from the journalistic world for daring to challenge and expose those with power. The book has won nearly every journalism award that exists but its authors are nevertheless subjected to character assassination and denigrated in the mainstream media as incompetent or crazy.The book provides a rare insight into both the power and the willingness of the US government and its secret handlers to suppress truth, control public information and cover up vast crimes. Mostly, they just did their job of investigative reporting a bit too well, and paid a heavy price for their integrity.

2002年，一群著名的美国记者联合出版了一本书，其中包含了他们个人经历中的例子，这些例子有效地摧毁了美国新闻自由的神话。这本书的标题是《走进Buzzsaw》，其中包含了政府恐吓、媒体压制和新闻控制的文件证据。其中一些故事涉及美军在朝鲜的大屠杀，证明美国在越南遗弃了许多战俘，记录了中央情报局直接参与贩运可卡因和海洛因的证据，以及来自大多数美国媒体新闻编辑室的欺诈性新闻。一些人写下了政府恐吓、失业和被列入黑名单的经历，他们要么拒绝放弃几乎肯定涉及导致许多人死亡的严重政府犯罪的报道，要么拒绝伪造调查结果的报告。许多人获得了数十万美元的咨询合同，以停止调查，但遭到拒绝并被终止。因为这些记者在环球航空800航班坠毁等事件上挑战美国政府和军方，或者威胁要揭露孟山都及其转基因种子或牛奶中生长激素的发现，他们不仅受到骚扰和威胁，还失去了工作和职业。他们现在被称为“放射性”，因为没有媒体会雇佣他们，几乎没有出版商会接受他们的书籍或文章；他们因敢于挑战和揭露当权者而被完全逐出新闻界。这本书几乎赢得了所有现有的新闻奖项，但它的作者仍然受到了性格暗杀，并在主流媒体上被诋毁为无能或疯狂。这本书罕见地揭示了美国政府及其秘密处理者压制真相、控制公共信息和掩盖重大犯罪的权力和意愿。大多数情况下，他们只是把调查性报道的工作做得太好了，并为他们的诚信付出了沉重的代价。

Obama campaigned on a promise of open and transparent government, but all credible sources condemn him for creating precisely the opposite, squeezing the media and civil service to severely restrict any leaks.And these are not leaks of damaging top-secret information, but revelations of serious crimes. Far from being open and transparent, the White House rushes to seize journalists’ records and files, with prosecution threats emerging seemingly everywhere. Yet the US still foolishly flaunts its “free press” mythology around the world while destroying that freedom at home and grossly interfering with that same freedom in other countries. David Sanger, the former chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times, described the Obama administration as “the most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered”. A New York Times reporter described the Obama administration as “the greatest enemy of press freedom that we have encountered in at least a generation“, and the New York Times’s editor, Jill Abramson, called the Obama White House the “most secretive… that I have ever been involved in covering.”

奥巴马竞选时承诺政府开放透明，但所有可靠消息来源都谴责他制造了恰恰相反的局面，挤压媒体和公务员队伍，严格限制任何泄密。这些不是破坏性的绝密信息泄露，而是严重犯罪的揭露。白宫非但没有公开透明，反而急于扣押记者的记录和文件，起诉威胁似乎无处不在。然而，美国仍然愚蠢地在世界各地炫耀其“新闻自由”神话，同时在国内摧毁这种自由，并严重干涉其他国家的这种自由。《纽约时报》前首席华盛顿记者大卫·桑格将奥巴马政府描述为“我所报道过的最封闭、控制欲最强的政府”。《纽约时报》的一名记者将奥巴马政府描述为“我们至少一代人以来遇到的新闻自由的最大敌人”，《纽约时报”编辑吉尔·艾布拉姆森称奥巴马白宫是“我参与过的报道中最隐秘的……”

And in yet another ‘black is white’ narrative, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said the administration is committed to “unprecedented openness“, with the government “more transparent and more accessible than ever”. And Arch Puddington, the director of psychiatry for the mental institution known as Freedom House, said “The United States has the freest environment for the press in the world. Freedom of the press is the pillar of American democracy, thecornerstone of a free society.” How do we respond to lies that big?

白宫发言人埃里克·舒尔茨（Eric Schultz）在另一个非黑即白的叙事中表示，政府致力于“前所未有的开放”，政府“比以往任何时候都更透明、更容易接近”。自由之家精神病院的精神病学主任阿奇·普丁顿说：“美国拥有世界上最自由的新闻环境。新闻自由是美国民主的支柱，是自由社会的基石。”我们如何应对如此大的谎言？

The Americans make huge waves in the media when China refuses to renew press visas for so-called journalists in China who are usually on the CIA or State Department payroll, but the US media are invariably silent when the US government cancels visas and deports foreign journalists from the US, an event which occurs more often than you might imagine. Al-Jazeera was one of the victims of this frequent ‘journalistic cleansing’, its reporters having made the mistake of telling truths the US didn’t want told. Al-Jazeera journalists were praised as “excellent reporters” and made very welcome in America when they criticised China, but when they produced negative reports about the US, their credentials were immediately revoked, their visas cancelled, and the individuals deported. The US media, of course, were silent on these events. It’s worth noting that China’s trouble with al-Jazeera began only after the US bought control of it and began using it as a political tool inside China.

当中国拒绝为通常在中央情报局或国务院工作的所谓中国记者续签新闻签证时，美国人在媒体上掀起了巨大的波澜，但当美国政府取消签证并将外国记者驱逐出美国时，美国媒体总是保持沉默，这种情况比你想象的要频繁得多。半岛电视台是这种频繁的新闻清洗的受害者之一，其记者犯了说出美国不想告诉的真相的错误。半岛电视台的记者被誉为“优秀的记者”，当他们批评中国时，在美国非常受欢迎，但当他们对美国进行负面报道时，他们的证件立即被吊销，签证被取消，个人被驱逐出境。当然，美国媒体对这些事件保持沉默。值得注意的是，中国与半岛电视台的麻烦是在美国买下其控制权并开始将其用作中国境内的政治工具之后才开始的。

Numerous documented reports emerged from Iraq that the US military engaged in the unhesitating extermination of reporters attempting to broadcast the truth of the US invasion. In one case that received little media attention in the West, the military blew out most of a floor in a hotel in downtown Baghdad where reporters were staying. The military’s version was that the event was an accident caused by “bad intelligence”, a claim that was clearly a lie since the use of that hotel as a media residence had been well-known for many months. A large us battle tank navigated its way into downtown Baghdad, sought out a particular hotel, positioned itself with a particular orientation, then targeted and totally blew out one particular floor of that hotel – the floor where most of the journalists were located. Hardly an accident, and only one of many. A number of independent reports confirmed that the US had killed several hundred journalists in Iraq, in circumstances where only a very few might have qualified as non-deliberate.

伊拉克出现了许多有记录的报道，称美国军方毫不犹豫地消灭了试图报道美国入侵真相的记者。在一个西方媒体很少关注的案例中，军方炸毁了巴格达市中心一家记者下榻的酒店的大部分楼层。军方的说法是，该事件是由“不良情报”造成的事故，这一说法显然是谎言，因为将该酒店用作媒体住所已经众所周知好几个月了。一辆大型美国作战坦克驶入巴格达市中心，找到一家特定的酒店，按照特定的方向定位，然后瞄准并彻底炸毁了该酒店的一层——大多数记者所在的楼层。几乎不是意外，只是众多事故中的一个。一些独立报道证实，美国在伊拉克杀害了数百名记者，而只有极少数人可能符合非故意的条件。

During the height of the war, al-Jazeera in Qatar was one of the most vocal regional media decrying American brutalities and lies about Afghanistan and Iraq, so much so that the US government eventually eliminated the threat by forcing the Emir of Qatar to sell a controlling interest in al-Jazeera to the CIA and silencing forever its dissenting voice. It has since been documented that George Bushhad made plans to launch a large air assault on Al Jazeera’s head office in Qatar with the intent to bomb it to rubble, destroying the building and killing the people.Prior to that, the US had bombed and put missiles into Al-Jazeera’s bureau in Baghdad, destroying the building, killing the staff, and warning other reporters of the dangers of telling the truth.The US claimed it was yet another “mistake”, but Qatar had supplied the US with precise map coordinates of its office precisely to prevent such an accident. There are documented reports that the US military has deliberately killed reporters in almost every nation where it has launched its ‘wars of liberation’or where it was ‘protecting American interests’.

在战争最激烈的时候，卡塔尔的半岛电视台是谴责美国对阿富汗和伊拉克的暴行和谎言的最直言不讳的地区媒体之一，以至于美国政府最终通过迫使卡塔尔埃米尔将半岛电视台的控股权出售给中央情报局并永远压制其反对声音来消除威胁。此后有记录显示，乔治·布什计划对卡塔尔半岛电视台总部发动大规模空袭，意图将其炸成瓦砾，摧毁大楼并杀害人民。在此之前，美国轰炸并向半岛电视台驻巴格达分社投掷导弹，摧毁了大楼，杀害了工作人员，并警告其他记者说实话的危险。美国声称这是另一个“错误”，但卡塔尔向美国提供了其办公室的精确地图坐标，以防止发生此类事故。有记录在案的报道称，美国军方在几乎所有发动解放战争或保护美国利益的国家都故意杀害记者。

CHINESE ENGLISH

Most people know about the massive “Occupy Wall Street” protests that occurred in the US during 2011 and 2012. Briefly,these were spontaneous protests that began in the US and spread to other Western countries, involving hundreds of thousands of people in the US and attracting tens of thousands in cities in other nations.These protests arose not so much because of the US banker-caused financial crisis, but when it became clear the US government planned no action either to punish those responsible or to initiate reforms to prevent such disasters from recurring, but instead to protect and reward the perpetrators.The main issues raised by this civil society movement were social and economic inequality in America, the institutionalised greed and corruption of US multinational business,and the enormous influence of corporations on the US government, especially from the large banks and financial companies.

大多数人都知道2011年和2012年在美国发生的大规模“占领华尔街”抗议活动。简而言之，这些是自发的抗议活动，始于美国并蔓延到其他西方国家，涉及美国数十万人，吸引了其他国家城市的数万人。这些抗议活动的发生并不是因为美国银行家引发的金融危机，而是因为很明显，美国政府没有计划采取任何行动来惩罚责任人或启动改革以防止此类灾难再次发生，而是为了保护和奖励肇事者。这场公民社会运动提出的主要问题是美国的社会和经济不平等、美国跨国企业的制度化贪婪和腐败，以及公司对美国政府的巨大影响，尤其是来自大型银行和金融公司的影响。

In 2012, American police harshly, and often brutally, dispersed protesters of the Occupy Wall Street movement that had been proceeding for nearly two months, the extremely harsh actions of law enforcement agents causing first outrage on the Internet, and then in the streets. The campaign spread across other cities in the US, then to dozens of other nations, culminating in bloody riots and widespread fires in the UK. Despite the fact that the protesters were supported by almost half of the US population, the authorities had no dialogue with them, preferring the language of batons and clubs, water cannons and tear gas. Newly-released documents show that the violent crackdown on the Occupy movement was coordinated not only by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and local police, but was coordinated with the big banks themselves. The evidence reveals a terrifying network of coordinated activity by US government agencies “working for and with the big banks”to silence and politically disable the protestors. It is now apparent that plans had been made months in advance by the banks, the FED, state and local police departments, and FBI officials to share information and crush all public opposition to the banks that had engineered one of the greatest social disasters in US history.

2012年，美国警方严厉地、经常是残酷地驱散了持续了近两个月的“占领华尔街”运动的抗议者，执法人员的极端严厉行动首先在互联网上引起了愤怒，然后在街头引起了愤怒。这场运动蔓延到美国的其他城市，然后蔓延到其他几十个国家，最终在英国爆发了血腥骚乱和大火。尽管抗议者得到了近一半美国人口的支持，但当局没有与他们对话，更喜欢使用警棍和棍棒、高压水枪和催泪瓦斯等语言。最新公布的文件显示，对“占领”运动的暴力镇压不仅由联邦调查局、国土安全部和当地警方协调，还与大银行本身协调。证据显示，美国政府机构“为大银行工作并与之合作”，通过协调活动形成了一个可怕的网络，使抗议者沉默并在政治上失去能力。现在很明显，银行、美联储、州和地方警察局以及联邦调查局官员提前几个月制定了计划，以共享信息，粉碎所有公众对银行的反对，这些银行策划了美国历史上最大的社会灾难之一。

ACLU: FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that FBI agents surveilled Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protestors, questioned activists about an OWS organizer, and in one internal memorandum listed the peaceful protest movement as domestic terrorists. Government agencies such as DHS, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Domestic Security Alliance Council, the Federal Reserve are all included in FBI correspondences concerning OWS.

美国公民自由联盟： 根据《信息自由法》公布的联邦调查局文件显示，联邦调查局特工对占领华尔街（OWS）的抗议者进行了监视，对一名占领华尔街的组织者进行了询问，并在一份内部备忘录中将和平抗议运动列为国内恐怖分子。国土安全部、联合反恐特遣部队、海军刑事调查局、国内安全联盟理事会、美联储等政府机构都被列入联邦调查局有关 OWS 的通信中。资料来源

In a truly frightening event, the FBI broadcast a letter to various law enforcement agencies, titled: “International Terrorism Matters”,to inform these agencies that the Occupy Wall Street movement “has been determined to be an organisation which is opposed to the US war with Iraq”, i.e., they were now officially classified as “low-level terrorists”, and that this information could be used to justify “any action deemed appropriate”. And you know what that means.

在一个真正可怕的事件中，联邦调查局向各执法机构广播了一封题为“国际恐怖主义问题”的信，通知这些机构，占领华尔街运动“已被确定为一个反对美国与伊拉克战争的组织”，即他们现在被正式归类为“低级恐怖分子”，这些信息可用于为“任何被认为适当的行动”辩护。你知道这意味着什么。

I have discussed elsewhere the many US financial crises. Our focus here is not the 2008 crisis nor the protests against those responsible, but rather the response of the US government – which was not focused on either those who caused the social and economic collapse or on remedial regulation and legislation,but entirely on containing protests by the public who had been financially devastated.While the American public waited patiently for several years for their government to take some leadership action, the government itself wasted no time in taking action against its own public who were the victims of the collapse. In the background, recently-released government documents revealed that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had not only been monitoring these civil movementsbut had classified them as domestic terrorist organisations and targeted them for severe treatment.The FBI launched a massive espionage campaign meant to infiltrate and disrupt these movements. The latest photo identification technology was applied, searching all government database records including medical, military and even driving licenses in attempts to identify the leaders and specifically target them for intimidation and violence. Not only that, these agencies shared their collective information with the very bankers and other corporations against which the public was protesting.

我在其他地方讨论过美国的许多金融危机。我们在这里关注的不是2008年的危机，也不是针对责任人的抗议活动，而是美国政府的回应——美国政府既没有关注那些造成社会和经济崩溃的人，也没有关注补救性的监管和立法，而是完全关于遏制经济遭受重创的公众的抗议活动。当美国公众耐心地等待政府采取一些领导行动几年时，政府本身也没有浪费时间对自己的公众采取行动，他们是崩溃的受害者。在此背景下，最近公布的政府文件显示，联邦调查局和国土安全部（DHS）不仅一直在监视这些民间运动，还将其归类为国内恐怖组织，并针对他们进行严厉治疗。联邦调查局发起了一场大规模的间谍活动，旨在渗透和破坏这些活动。应用了最新的照片识别技术，搜索所有政府数据库记录，包括医疗、军事甚至驾驶执照，试图识别领导人，并专门针对他们进行恐吓和暴力。不仅如此，这些机构还与公众抗议的银行家和其他公司分享了他们的集体信息。

It is now apparent that a great amount of collusion existed between the government, the Wall Street Bankers and the FED, various police and enforcement agencies, the media, and many local governments as well, producing coordinated attempts to intimidate, silence and suppress public disaffection and protests against the US government and its “friends”.The FBI and DHS arranged conferences with the mayors of large US cities, where suppression of public discontent was discussed, the consensus being that these widespread public protests could “not be allowed to gain any credibility”.After these organised meetings, the US government began orchestrated and systematic waves of attacks on the protesters, many of them involving substantial violence. These concerted actions by the FBI and related agencies fell firmly under the definition of “domestic terrorism”. In other words, the government had classified a peaceful civil society movement as terrorism and then itself moved to apply genuine terrorism against these people, using physical force and violence against a civilian population for purposes that were purely political. Many foreign media commented on the fact that the US mainstream media failed to cover this massive movement adequately, in many cases ignoring the protests altogether even though they continued for over a year. Many single protest events that involved as many as 100,000 individuals passed virtually unnoticed due to a media conspiracy of silence.

现在很明显，政府、华尔街银行家和美联储、各种警察和执法机构、媒体以及许多地方政府之间存在大量勾结，他们协同努力恐吓、压制和镇压公众对美国政府及其“朋友”的不满和抗议。联邦调查局和国土安全部安排了与美国大城市市长的会议，讨论了压制公众不满的问题，共识是这些广泛的公众抗议活动“不能被允许获得任何信誉”。在这些有组织的会议之后，美国政府开始对抗议者进行精心策划和系统的袭击，其中许多袭击涉及实质性暴力。联邦调查局和相关机构的这些协同行动完全符合“国内恐怖主义”的定义。换言之，政府将和平的民间社会运动归类为恐怖主义，然后自己开始对这些人实施真正的恐怖主义，出于纯粹的政治目的，对平民使用武力和暴力。许多外国媒体评论说，美国主流媒体未能充分报道这场大规模运动，在许多情况下，即使抗议活动持续了一年多，也完全忽视了抗议活动。由于媒体的沉默阴谋，许多涉及多达10万人的单一抗议活动几乎没有被注意到。

But President Obama comments serve only to highlight that US politicians, including the President, have almost totally lost control of the government of the nation, and that it is the major private interests – the banks, the owners of the FED, the large corporations, and the CIA/military that control the country.

但他的言论只会突显出，包括总统在内的美国政客几乎完全失去了对国家政府的控制，而控制国家的是主要的私人利益集团——银行、美联储的所有者、大公司和中央情报局/军方。

Even President Obama noted that, in the wake of the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression, with huge social and financial damage throughout the country, the same people who acted irresponsibly in causing the crisis were now acting irresponsibly in preventing protest against those same abusive practices. But his comments serve only to highlight that US politicians, including the President, have almost totally lost control of the government of the nation, and that it is the major private interests – the banks, the owners of the FED, the large corporations, and the CIA/military that control the country. In any case, the powers in control did indeed launch a major military-style offensive against these civil society groups in a manner that would do credit to an axis of evil dictatorship. In addition to the espionage, the intimidation, and the widespread use of force, US government agencies arrested more than 10,000 individuals who were considered leaders, and initiated widespread violent assaults on many tens of thousands more.Most of this was quietly ignored by the US media.

就连奥巴马总统也指出，在大萧条以来最大的金融危机之后，全国各地都遭受了巨大的社会和金融损失，导致危机的那些不负责任的人现在也在不负责任地阻止对这些虐待行为的抗议。但他的言论只会突显出，包括总统在内的美国政客几乎完全失去了对国家政府的控制，而控制国家的是主要的私人利益集团——银行、美联储的所有者、大公司和中央情报局/军方。无论如何，掌权者确实对这些民间社会团体发动了大规模的军事式进攻，这将归功于邪恶独裁轴心。除了间谍活动、恐吓和广泛使用武力外，美国政府机构还逮捕了10000多名被视为领导人的人，并对数万人发动了广泛的暴力袭击。其中大部分被美国媒体悄悄忽视。

So much for fabled democracy and freedom of assembly. Leading media outlets of the country tried to ignore the campaign for a long time, preferring to talk about the “march of democracy” in Libya and Syria, or the “bad policy” of Russia, China or Venezuela in dealing with political unrest.According to Americans, protests in other countries are cries for freedom and good government, but these same protests in the US are caused by criminals and terrorists fully deserving of police abuse.In the meantime, of course, the US spends huge amounts of money and effort to sponsor these dissidents in other countries, solely for the pleasure of being able to point an accusing finger at the ‘unfair’ treatment they receive at home.

传说中的民主和集会自由到此为止。该国主要媒体长期以来试图忽视这场运动，更愿意谈论利比亚和叙利亚的“民主进程”，或者俄罗斯、中国或委内瑞拉在应对政治动荡方面的“坏政策”。据美国人说，其他国家的抗议活动是对自由和善政的呼声，但美国的这些抗议活动是由完全应该受到警察虐待的罪犯和恐怖分子引起的。当然，与此同时，美国花费大量资金和精力支持其他国家的持不同政见者，仅仅是为了能够指责他们在国内受到的不公平待遇。

Medical attention: Cecily McMillan collapsed at the Occupy protest on March 17 in Zuccotti Park after reportedly being dragged by police.

医疗护理：据报道，3月17日，Cecily McMillan在祖科蒂公园的占领抗议活动中被警方拖拽后昏倒。

Cecily McMillan, a 25-year-old student was attending an Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Manhattan when she was seized by police, beaten so ferociously that she was black and blue on her ribs and arms and went into a seizure.Media photographs show a policeman grabbing her breast from behind, and McMillan instinctively throwing up an elbow to protect herself, catching a policeman under the eye. After being beaten, she was arrested and is now slated to serve a seven-year prison term for “assaulting a police officer”. She was only one of more than 700 protestors brutally treated and arrested in what was described in the media as “an orgy of police misconduct”. Professors from two New York law schools produced a scrupulously detailed report of the police routinely using excessive force to crush the protest movement, and New York was by no means the only city where this occurred. Los Angeles was far worse, but the media and all outsiders were prohibited from viewing the police violence, and no charges have ever been laid against the officers. In one case, the Oakland Policeintentionallyshot US Marine veteran Scott Olsenin the head during a protest.

25岁的学生Cecily McMillan在曼哈顿参加“占领华尔街”示威活动时被警方抓获，遭到毒打，肋骨和手臂上青一块紫一块，随后癫痫发作。媒体照片显示，一名警察从后面抓住她的乳房，麦克米兰本能地伸出一只手肘保护自己，从眼睛下面抓住了一名警察。在遭到殴打后，她被捕，现在因“袭击警察”被判处七年监禁。她只是700多名抗议者中的一员，他们在媒体上被描述为“警察不当行为的狂欢”中遭到残酷对待和逮捕。来自纽约两所法学院的教授们制作了一份详尽的报告，报告称警方经常过度使用武力镇压抗议运动，而纽约绝不是唯一发生这种情况的城市。洛杉矶的情况要糟糕得多，但媒体和所有局外人都被禁止观看警察的暴力行为，也没有对警察提出任何指控。在一次抗议活动中，奥克兰警方故意向美国海军陆战队老兵斯科特·奥尔森头部开枪。

Almost all reporters covering the protests were immediately arrested and thrown into prison, to prevent public knowledge of the police violence. Anyone with a camera or mobile phone, especially those attempting to photograph the many instances of police brutality, was arrested or threatened with arrest and the device seized and destroyed. Reporters were often arrested on falsified charges that would later have to be dismissed for lack of evidence, but the arrests served to intimidate the media into silence. Many reporters, and those with cameras, were physically attacked by the police, thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, beaten and kicked, and then arrested on trumped-up charges of “civil disobedience, disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, unlawful assembly, and even public drunkenness”.Any journalists covering the police brutality toward the protesters were specifically identified and targeted by the police. Many demonstrators attempted to use video recording of the many instances of police violence and brutality as a way to document and to deter this behavior, but the position of the US government and its law-enforcement agencies was that“the public use of cameras to document police brutality is an illegal act”.

几乎所有报道抗议活动的记者都立即被捕并被投入监狱，以防止公众了解警察的暴力行为。任何携带相机或手机的人，尤其是那些试图拍摄警察暴行的人，都会被逮捕或受到逮捕威胁，设备也会被没收并销毁。记者经常因伪造指控被捕，这些指控后来因缺乏证据而被驳回，但这些逮捕是为了恐吓媒体保持沉默。许多记者和那些带着相机的人遭到警察的身体攻击，被扔到地上，被胡椒喷雾、殴打和踢打，然后以“公民不服从、行为不检、非法侵入、非法集会，甚至在公共场合醉酒”的莫须有指控被捕。任何报道警察对抗议者施暴的记者都被警方明确指出并作为目标。许多示威者试图用警察暴力和暴行的视频记录来记录和阻止这种行为，但美国政府及其执法机构的立场是“公众使用相机记录警察暴行是一种非法行为”。

It is in this light that the US government labeled as terrorists anyone active in this movement or even supporting the movement.It is astonishing that Americans will still attempt to defend their so-called ‘freedoms’, claiming particularly of speech and assembly, in direct contradiction to the facts on the ground. One government official quoted the US Military Commissions Act, which states that, “Anyone who speaks out against the government’s policies can be declared an “unlawful enemy combatant”and imprisoned indefinitely (without trial or recourse).That includes American citizens“. How do we reconcile this statement with claims of freedom of speech?

正是在这种情况下，美国政府将任何活跃在这场运动中甚至支持这场运动的人称为恐怖分子。令人惊讶的是，美国人仍然试图捍卫他们所谓的自由，特别是言论和集会自由，这与实地事实直接矛盾。一位政府官员援引了《美国军事委员会法》，该法规定，“任何公开反对政府政策的人都可以被宣布为“非法敌方战斗人员”，并无限期监禁（无需审判或追索）。这包括美国公民”。我们如何将这一说法与言论自由的主张相协调？

FBI DOCUMENT ‘[DELETED’] PLOTS TO KILL OCCUPY LEADERS BY SNIPER RIFLES ‘IF DEEMED NECESSARY’

联邦调查局文件'[删除’]计划’在认为必要时’用狙击步枪杀害占领区领导人

But it’s much worse than this. Documents were obtained from the FBI office in Houston, Texas, that outlined a plan to use mercenaries to kill the leaders of this Occupy Wall Street movement if it progressed much further.In that city as in many others, official reaction to the demonstrations involved violent assaults by police on the activists, and this is where the assassination plot was hatched.To quote the FBI document, “(An organisation) planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors in Houston, Texas . . . planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles”. The FBI confirmed that the document was genuine and that it originated in the FBI’s Houston office. It offered neither explanation nor apology. It appears that the organisation involved was an FBI/CIA-linked mercenary-for-hire organization called Craft International, which has a contract funded by the US Department of Homeland Security. This is America today, where Hollywood and the media daily pump out propaganda on the treasured democratic values of freedom of expression and assembly.

但比这更糟糕。从得克萨斯州休斯顿的联邦调查局办公室获得的文件概述了一项计划，即如果这场占领华尔街运动取得更大进展，将使用雇佣军杀害其领导人。在那个城市和其他许多城市一样，官方对示威活动的反应是警察对活动人士的暴力袭击，这就是暗杀阴谋的策源地。引用联邦调查局的文件，“（一个组织）计划对德克萨斯州休斯顿的抗议者进行狙击手袭击……计划收集针对抗议团体领导人的情报并获取照片，然后制定一项计划，通过压制狙击步枪杀死领导层”。联邦调查局证实，该文件是真实的，来源于联邦调查局休斯顿办事处。它既没有解释也没有道歉。该组织似乎是一个与联邦调查局/中央情报局有联系的雇佣兵组织，名为Craft International，其合同由美国国土安全部资助。这就是今天的美国，好莱坞和媒体每天都在宣传言论和集会自由这一宝贵的民主价值观。
