転送、転載、引用、訳出、大歓迎!

 本日(2002/04/23)も夕刻1時間余、中央線三鷹駅北口で演説した。連日とは、われながら、ご苦労さんなのであるが、これには直近の理由もあった。

 午前中に、わが家の唯一の宅配紙、日経の「読者応答センター」に電話してみたら、シンシア発言を知っていた。もちろん、知ってはいても恐米畏縮症の「マスコミ仁義の横並び」の慣習に従い、報道しないのが常なのであるが、今度は、もしかしてということもある。こちらが「後追い」はしたくない。この際、先回りして悪口を言いたい放題しないと損である。

 マイクを握って鍛え上げた美声を轟かす。「アメリカの黒人女性の下院議員、シンシア・マケニイが・・・」と言うと、特に女性が振り向く。「日本の大手メディアはまったく・・・」と言うと、特に中年男性が振り向く。寄ってきて地面に置いた「無料:自由にお持ち下さい」の宣伝チラシを持っていく人も増えた。

 話をわが家に戻すと、今朝も友人からシンシア情報が送られてきた。今晩も自力の電網宝庫検索で数個発見した。当然のことながら、シンシアの肩をも持つ独立系情報が多い。

 かくて、わが予想の通り、次第、次第に募る論争、紛争、なのではあるが、全部を発信するのは大変である。それらの内から私の判断で選ぶ。かのメディア王、オーストラリア出身のマードックが買収し、今やCNNを抜き始めたフォックスが、この話題を取り上げた情報があるので、これを優先する。

 題名は、McKinney May Face Primary Fight、「戦闘的なマケニイは最も重要な戦いに直面する可能性あり」である。特に重要なのは、アメリカの特有な議会の組織、the Black Caucus (黒人派特別会)を牛耳る体制擁護分子との戦いである。この問題に関してのみ、注釈を兼ねて、独立系の声援を先に一部紹介する。

URGENT APPEAL!! - Defend Cynthia McKinney
by from FindTruth 10:10pm Sun Apr 14 '02

Anyone watching national media today saw an unbelievable media lynching/character assassination of a very brave woman, U.S. Rep. McKinney for saying "the emperor has no clothes" on the 9-11 lies.

On CNN, pundits agreed, "The Congressional Black Caucus should turn their backs on her."

[後略]

 緊急の訴え!!
 シンシア・マケニイを守れ

 抄訳すると、

 非常に勇気のあるシンシアに対して、メディアが信じがたい人格的なリンチの暗殺攻撃を掛けている。

 CNNでは、pundits、専門家たちが、「黒人派特別会は彼女に背を向けるべきだ」とい意見に同意した。

 以上で引用と抄訳は終わり。

 つまり、CNNの方でも、歪んだ形とはいえ、この問題に関する議論を報道しているのである。なのに、「後方支援」などと称して、事実上のアフガン侵略戦争の参戦国、日本の事実上の国営放送、NHKの報道は皆無(視聴者ふれあいセンターで確認)なのである。以下は、フォックスの文字版。

McKinney May Face Primary Fight
Monday, April 22, 2002

Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

WASHINGTON ― Rep. Cynthia McKinney loves a good fight. Now, for the first time since 1996, the Georgia Democrat might face one in her party's primary.

Recently retired Judge Denise Majette says McKinney's Fourth District, in middle class Atlanta with a population about 50 percent black, has suffered long enough from bad publicity, and hasn't grown as much as it could have in the years she has been in office.

"The kind of reckless statements she makes is costing us dollars and cents in the district," charged Majette, who is black and plans to run a strong primary against McKinney in August.

Many Americans previously unfamiliar with the outspoken representative have heard of or from her in the months following Sept. 11.

She first slammed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for returning a $10 million check to a Saudi prince who had linked the attacks to America's Mideast policy. McKinney wrote the prince a letter criticizing Giuliani and asking for the money back to give to poor black communities.

She made much bigger headlines more recently when she suggested the Bush administration may have had advance warning of the Sept. 11 attacks. McKinney, a member of the Armed Services and International Relations committees, also asked if several Washington-area investment firms tied to the administration are directly profiting from the attacks.

"What did this administration know and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide?" she questioned in an interview on KPFA94 FM, a California radio station.

Her statements drew immediate fire from all political corners.

Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., called her statements "loony." House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said such remarks "have no place in a country united behind a common goal and against a common enemy."

McKinney later clarified her remarks ? sort of.

"I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9/11," she said, before adding: "A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case."

While House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., did not agree with her statements, he said she "has a right to make them." And Gephardt spokesman Erik Smith believes the matter was blown out of proportion by Republicans.

When asked if the party was distancing itself from McKinney, Smith said: "We have 435 different people in Congress. Each one is unique and each one has her own point of view, and I think that is what makes this institution great."

McKinney, whose office did not return repeated phone calls for an interview, has long concentrated much of her energy on African American issues. She serves on the Congressional Black Caucus as well as the Progressive Caucus.

But she does not get on well with black conservatives. She was once quoted in USA Today as saying, "My impression of modern-day black Republicans is they have to pass a litmus test in which all black blood is extracted."

McKinney received 21 percent of her contributions in 1999-2000 from Arab-American and Middle Eastern/Muslim sources in the last election cycle, including money from officials of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and the American Muslim Council. Both have members who have been publicly tied to support for terrorist groups here and abroad.

CAIR officials said the contributions reflect McKinney's support for American-Muslim issues here in the U.S. Phil Kent, president of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, said her donor list might suggest where the congresswoman's own loyalties lie.

"If McKinney's standard of review is 'relationships,' then her 'relationships,' and the influence those relationships have on her actions ? must also be investigated," he said, referring to her attacks on Bush.

Majette says her district is fed up with all of it. She believes she has broad support across party lines to make a change.

"I want to provide the kind of change people are looking for. People are fed up and tired of being embarrassed and having to be ashamed of the person who represents them," she said.

Ralph Gonzales, the executive director of the Georgia Republican Party, said there are "plenty of middle-class African Americans there in her district who do not like her hijinks," who will be looking for alternatives come November. Republican Catherine Davis has also entered the field.

But not all Democrats see McKinney as a political liability.

"She's straightforward and she says what's on her mind," said Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, D-N.Y., who called her "a pleasure" to work with. "What makes America great is one's right to say what's on their mind."
