転送、転載、引用、訳出、大歓迎!

 電子記録によれば、以下のごとく、本日(2003/05/17)から数えると3日前に、「反米」アメリカ人の友人が、「完璧な敵」(The Perfect Enemy)と題する記事を転送してきた。

Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 17:12:32 +0900
Subject: The Perfect Enemy

「完璧な敵」の意味は、それに続く以下の散文風の3行に、簡潔に表現されている。

Terrorists who can't be caught
because they don't really exist
or because they're CIA assets

 以上の3行の拙訳:

逮捕できないテロリスト。
なぜなら彼らは存在しないか、
それともCIAの手先だから。

 この3行の冒頭に「テロリスト」という言葉が出てくるが、この記事そのものには作成の日付はない。URLが記されていないから、多分、どこかの掲示板などへの投稿か、友人間の手紙の転送であろう。しかし、私への転送の日付は、上記のごとく、「Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 17:12:32 +0900」との電子記録がある。以下のごとく、サウジの「爆発事件」を「テロ」と断定する大手メディアの一斉報道があった翌日である。

【カイロ=久保健一】サウジアラビアの首都リヤドの外国人居住地区で12日深夜から13日未明にかけて起きた連続爆弾テロ事件について、パウエル米国務長官は13日、ウサマ・ビンラーディン率いる国際テロ組織「アル・カーイダ」の犯行である可能性が高いとの見方を示した。

 被害はその後も増え続け、米国人10人を含め少なくとも25人が死亡、160人以上が負傷した模様。サウジ史上、最悪のテロ事件で、中東情勢がイラク戦争を経てもなお極めて不穏なことが浮き彫りになった。

 事件から約10時間後の13日午前、パウエル長官は当初の予定通り、リヤド入りした。サウジ訪問に先立ち、ヨルダンの首都アンマンで会見した長官は、「犯人は明白だ。アル・カーイダの特徴がある」と述べ、アル・カーイダの犯行との見方を強く示唆した。長官はまた、リヤド到着後、記者団に対し、事件による米国人の死者が少なくとも10人にのぼる見通しを明らかにしたほか、「他の国籍の人々も多数死亡した」と述べた。死者には、フィリピン人2人、オーストラリア人1人が含まれている模様。AFP通信によると、同国のブライヒド・リヤド州副知事の子息も死亡したという。

 一方、リヤドからの報道によると、サウジのナエフ内相は13日、リヤド市内のイスラム過激派のアジトから今月6日、大量の武器や爆発物が発見された事件で、このアジトから逃走した「アル・カーイダ」支持者とみられるサウジ人ら19人の「テロリスト」が、今回の事件と関わっているとの見方を示した。

 つまり、上記の英文記事の執筆者の「意図を汲んで」、転送してくれた「反米」アメリカ人の友人は、具体的に、いや、あからさまに言えば、サウジの「テロ」騒ぎは、アメリカが「手先」を使った自作自演であると示唆しているのである。

 私は、得たりや応と、この転送記事の件名に、以下の括弧内の注釈を加えて、さらに広く自前の転送をした。

 The Perfect Enemy(or ventriloquist and his puppet)

 括弧内のわが注釈の拙訳:
 「または、腹話術師と彼の操り人形」

 英語では、この種の操り人形のことを、glove-pappetと呼ぶ。直訳すれば、手袋人形か掌人形であろうか。普通は、左手を人形の下から突っ込んで、胴体、両足、両手、頭部、唇を動かし、その人形と腹話術師が、「やらせ口喧嘩」をする。アドルフ・ヒトラーも、ヨセフ・スターリンも、サダム・フセインも、その種の掌人形芝居による世論操作の繰り返しである。

「やらせ口喧嘩」の形象化の代表例は、イギリス人の作家、ジョージ・オーウェルの『1984年』に描かれた「憎悪週間」の敵役、「人民の敵エマニュエル・ゴールドスタイン」と、「偉大な兄弟」が巨大テレヴィ・スクリーン上で演じる対決である。

『1984年』の英語版の初版の発表は、1949年と訳書の巻末に記されている。多分、間違いはないだろう。私は、別に、そこまで調べ直す気にはならない。1949年は、今から数えると、54年前である。以後、優に半世紀を超える時空で、もっともっと低級な技術による「やらせ口喧嘩」が横行し、「人民」を騙し続け、ついには、裸の猿の史上空前の一方的な大量殺戮にまで至った

 それなのに、なおも、大手メディアは、無反省に、調べ直しもせずに、CIA帝国アメリカの言うがままに、「テロ」、「テロ」、「テロ」、と報道し続けているのである。日本の歴史を振り返れば、日本が中国大陸を侵略し続けていた時期、日本の大手メディアは、日本軍と戦う中国人を、「匪賊」、「匪賊」、と呼び続けていたのである。これと、まったく同じことを、性懲りもなく繰り返しているのである。

 私は、昨年、2002年10月25日に発表した新編著の冒頭で、「テロ」という」言葉に関して、いささか長い持論を、以下に抜粋紹介するごとく、要約して披瀝した。

『9・11事件の真相と背景』(副題:「テロ」か? 自作自演の戦争挑発謀略か?アメリカ=イスラエル=世界支配構想の核心を突く)
[中略]
はしがき

 私は、2001年9月11日にアメリカで起きた大事件を、9・11事件または9・11と呼ぶ。世間一般では、「テロ」とか「同時多発テロ」とか呼び、今もなおそれを続けているが、私は、その呼び方自体が、いわゆるキーワード(鍵言葉)による世論操作の策謀に引っかかった重大な間違いであり、特に言論機関や言論人に対しては、あえて警告する。

 この呼び方は極悪な政治犯罪への軽率かつ自覚なき荷担行為にすらなっているのである。

 中国の儒教の基本文献、五つの「経」の筆頭の『易経』には、「乱を生ずる所は、則ち言語を以て階をなす」とある。儒教は政治学であり、「階」は「秩序」の意味である。争乱のような重大事態に際して、指導者は言葉を選び、それに基づいて秩序を作り直すべし、という教えである。

 ブッシュ大統領または「極右」イスラエルとアメリカ帝国の「陰の政府」の代理人は、今回の9・11事件を「テロ」と言い張り、「戦争だ!」と叫ぶことで「階」をなし、「戦争」を彼らの「秩序」としたのである。この「秩序」とは、湾岸戦争に際してブッシュ(親)大統領らが宣言した世界支配構想、「新世界秩序」(後述)のことであった。だから、この彼らの「秩序」を拒否する者は、まず最初に、彼らの「言葉」の「階」を拒否しなければならないのである。

 [中略]

 裁判に例えると、9・11事件を「テロ」でなくて謀略であると完全に立証しきり、裁判官や陪審員を説得し、世論を形成し、勝利判決を勝ち取るまでに至るのは、たやすいことではない。しかし、逆に「テロ」だという証明の方も、まるでなされていない。容疑者に関する証拠は、まるで示されていない。あるのは風評ばかりである。つまり、これでは、誰にも、「テロ」だと断定することなどは、できっこないのである。

 [中略]

 私の戦いの目標を要約すると、「戦争と嘘」の暴露になる。その戦いの具体的な課題が、今回は特に「テロ」という言葉の使用への批判に集約されるのである。

 [中略]

 「戦争の最初の犠牲者は真実」 (When war is decleared, Truth is the first cusualty)

The Perfect Enemy

Terrorists who can't be caught
because they don't really exist
or because they're CIA assets

By John Kaminski

War is a sociological safety valve that cleverly diverts popular hatred for the ruling classes into a happy occasion to mutilate or kill foreign enemies.
- Ernest Becker

War provides the perfect cover for those waging it to commit crimes against not only enemies but also friends. Amid the patriotic flag waving and somber ceremony, the populace is cowed into distraction and for the most part will not see the chicanery and manipulation that not only created the conditions FOR the war, but also will not perceive that the purpose OF it is not to defeat the enemy, but to financially castrate and sociologically neutralize those who are actually helping to wage the war.

Such is the process by which those in power consolidate their advantage among their so-called friends.

The Christian Crusades of millenia past provide an apt example of this deceptive process. With no enemies nearby and a surfeit of armed and affluent noblemen itching for aggressive acts, kings and ministers of past empires dreamed up external threats by which to distract their powerful friends from contemplating revolution. Jerusalem and the dark-skinned Muslim realms have always been a popular target. The subsequent conflicts not only reaped new riches for the warmaking kingdoms, but also depleted the ranks and resources of those sent to fight, thereby lessening the potential political threat to the very people who dreamed up the wars in the first place. Two birds with one stone.

Those innocents killed in such cynical gambits now bear the unfortunate title of collateral damage, regrettable but necessary sacrifices to the selfishness of those in positions of power who seek to maintain it. So this world full of greedy humans continues to turn.

During war, citizens of the warmaking state may not question the motives of their leaders, lest they be accused of treason and summarily executed. Therefore, any state seeking permanent obeisance and minimal criticism from its citizenry will logically aspire toward a regimen of permanent war. It is supremely ironic that a majority of these citizens will wholeheartedly support such efforts, without realizing that it is the destruction of their own freedom that they are cheering.

However, real enemies are usually not so accommodating as to wish to engage in battle indefinitely. They are either defeated and disappear as a viable social force, or, they kick butt and thereby ruin the plans of the manipulative attacker forever.

A shrewd superpower kingdom will cleverly avoid picking a fair fight, thereby eliminating, as nearly as possible, the undesirable surprise of an unexpected defeat. It will also defer toward states of relatively equal strength, establish diplomatic relations, and wait for an opportunity to screw them surreptitiously and without penalty.

Since the situation we face now is that one superpower outstrips in military might the next ten strongest nations, the need for it to be diplomatic is at an all-time low. It simply can do what it wants when it wants.

And yet, humans being what they are - wanting to be free, happy, honest and well-fed - even a superpower in this unchallenged position must construct fantasy scenarios to convince its people - no matter how amateurishly - that they are doing the right thing by supporting endless wars.

Today we hear all sorts of childish whimpering about the terrorist threat, even though a cursory examination of recent history would reveal that most of these threats have been deliberately created by the nation doing most of the complaining about these very threats.

And this epiphany can lead you to a very startling observation about the nature of the world as human civilization enters the 21st century following the appearance of the Divine Messiah most of this civilization pretends to worship.

It seemed for a time - two centuries, actually - that the United States of America was a good country, champion of justice, advocate of freedom, that sort of stuff. What was lost in the education of its own citizens, however, was the frequency with which it went to war, against interlopers who were invariably depicted as evil people on the wrong side of democratic progress.

A cursory perusal of this murderous American resume´ will reveal that it has always been the aggressor in all these big fights, even though the official histories bend the facts to show the U.S. was fighting for freedom against one tyrant or another.

But as time passed and the world got smaller, it became obvious that the U.S. was running out of countries that it could call evil, declare war against, and then pulverize.

Besides, once a country had been seriously obliterated, it simply took too long to rebuild it into a serious enemy again.

Clearly, if the same cartel that has essentially been running this country for all of its 227 years was to stay in power, it had to devise a new formula for finding constant enemies to fight, thereby enriching its own coffers and keeping its own citizenry from noticing too much about the way it actually conducts its business.

So it devised a new system of actually creating its own enemies. It sponsored young malcontents to fight battles the served the purposes of the masters, provided them with weapons and support techniques, used them for awhile, and then seemingly cut them loose to develop on their own. Of course, all the while the progress of these young rebels was monitored by American intelligence agencies, for the purpose of determining exactly when they could be considered mature enough to reclassify them from a nominal ally fighting for U.S. interests into a nightmare threat fighting against U.S. interests.

The key element in making this process work was fabricating staged terror events that were actually perpetrated against our own citizens but then cleverly blamed on these various foreign provocateurs whom the U.S. had carefully nurtured and brought to maturity.

The U.S. learned this trick from Israel, which had successfully used the technique throughout Europe (principally in Germany) and specifically in Iraq in the 1940s, to convince its own people of the dangers posed by "enemies" it had previously supported, for the purpose of creating a hysteria to compel more Jews to move to Israel.

Of course, now we see how Israel has used this staged terror formula to elicit world support for its illegal occupation of Palestine. And more vividly, we see how the staged terror events in New York City have driven a large part of Western Civilization into a new, crusade-like rage against the peoples of Islamic countries. Serious historians will note this has all been done before, but the general population contains few serious historians, so most people don't notice that the current War on Terror is simply a replay of the European royals' propaganda used to attack Middle Eastern peoples some eight hundred years ago, and ever since.

And lest you think all this is merely a flight of literary fancy, I bid you consider the careers of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, both of whom were catapulted into the public eye as fledgling CIA operatives, bin Laden as an Arab counterculture hero (and cheered on by his family) who rode to the rescue (with large amounts of cash) of the Afghani mujahadeen, accompanied by plenty of assistance from Ronald Reagan's CIA wheelerdealers; and Saddam as one of the triggermen in a 1968 coup in Iraq that was of course fueled by support from the, you-guessed-it, CIA. I probably need not mention that neither one of these strategic CIA assets has ever been apprehended.

So for these folks to develop into threats against the world (and this is not to mention Panama's Manuel Noriega, who also followed the same progressive curriculum as a pawn in the South American drug game and good friend of the Bush family, only to later become the target of a massive American invasion), you begin to see the pattern.

The U.S. has really replaced client state enemies it first builds up with cash bribes and then converts into enemies with client personality enemies, whom it nurtures with military support, provokes with a no-win decision (whatever did happen to April Glaspie?), and then invades in a profitable fit of righteous retribution.

Are you getting the picture?

It's interesting reading some of the older stories about al-Qaeda, the so-called terror group founded by bin Laden in Afghanistan (and nurtured by Pakistani intelligence, which was covertly funded by the American CIA), and seeing how al-Qaeda fought side by side with American mercenaries in Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia and even Chechnya, but when they were conveniently needed as an excuse for going to war somewhere else (Afghanistan and Iraq), they were quickly converted into an enemy.

Clearly, al-Qaeda is connected to the CIA, but for purposes of stealing Iraq's oil reserves, the U.S. connected them to Iraq, and got a major assist from what used to be called the American free press, but now is called something else, something far worse.

I guess you could call al-Qaeda a multi-purpose CIA asset, good for either good or bad activities.

Al-Qaeda are claimed to be the boogeymen who perpetrated 9/11 and were supposedly connected to Saddam.

And yet when you go to find out about them, they disappear in a cloud of undercover spy dust, with no leads suddenly unavailable as to where they might have disappeared. How utterly convenient. The real reason is because their controllers live at the Pentagon and other prestigious Washington addresses, not to mention a few palaces in Saudi Arabia that have ties to many American corporations.

Occasionally, the powers that be throw us a bone, like Moussaoui, or Richard Reid, just to try to prove there are actual terrorists out there. But how many more so-called terrorists have been allowed to slip away, under cover of CIA assistance? And, as in Yemen, how many more are prevented from being sought, lest they reveal their ties to the government in Washington?

Instead of having countries to blame for our ills, we now have mystical individuals - terrorists - who absolutely can't be found, except for those like Atta and the supposed hijackers who actually received training at U.S. military installations. Sound like a familiar technique?

For endless war, you must have an enemy who cannot be caught, who is completely vaporous, therefore necessitating nonstop aggressive emergency measures, variously colored alerts and tough talk for those who are unable to understand words.

The perfect enemy for a state that seeks endless war and seeks forever to pull the wool over the eyes of its own citizens for purposes of endless robbery and implementing slavery where freedom previously existed would be an enemy who cannot, under any circumstances, ever be caught. Osama and Saddam doubtless know this.

In the literal sense, this perfect enemy does not exist, which makes him perfect for a society determined to make war, because he will never be caught, and the war can continue forever.

The harder an enemy is to find and defeat, the better it is for those who seek to destroy that enemy. The CIA's creation of al-Qaeda is the perfect recipe for those billionaires whose objective is endless conflict from which to make more money. This is the new era in which we find ourselves.

It is the ultimate tilting at windmills, by which the elite who have always run America can perpetrate their vicious schemes of slavery, the gullible can continue to have their empty causes to cheer, and legitimate, God-fearing citizens can cower in fear while the very churches they support participate in the coverup that supports the tyrants who oppress them.

This is the way the world is, and has always been.

Only now it's worse, because the enemy is now a fabricated fiction, available for convenient blame in any and all disasters, no matter who actually perpetrated them.

And thanks to media shills who don't ask real questions, well-bribed legislators devoid of conscience, law enforcers who help their patrons cover up crimes, and judges who have no interest in real justice, there is no end in sight for this war on freedom.
