Living legends of Alt-News

另类新闻的活生生传奇

2015.02.25 “Edward Snowden and the Great Removal” by Thomas Knapp – NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden continues to loom large in the world’s daily news. Revelations from the trove of data he disclosed to journalists roll out on a near-weekly basis, followed by denials and excuses from politicians and bureaucrats he exposes as responsible for rights violations around the world. Citizenfour, a documentary covering his heroic actions on behalf of the public, just grabbed the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature… 美国国家安全局举报人爱德华·斯诺登继续在世界每日新闻中占据重要地位。 他向记者披露的大量数据几乎每周都会曝光，随后他揭露对世界各地侵犯人权行为负有责任的政客和官僚予以否认和借口。 一部讲述他代表公众的英雄事迹的纪录片《第四公民》刚刚获得了奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖……https://www.counterpunch.org/2015/02/25/edward-snowden-and-the-great-removal

Julian Assange 2021.07.01 “US Censorship Is Increasingly Official” by Alan MacLeod – …The attempts to muzzle the press did not start with Trump, however. President Obama oversaw a war on whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, and ensured that Julian Assange has spent the best part of a decade in hiding or in prison. Assange’s most notable journalistic action was to release the Iraq War Logs and the Collateral Murder video, which showed US pilots massacring civilians—including two Reuters journalists—in cold blood.

艾伦·麦克劳德（Alan MacLeod）的《美国审查制度越来越正式》——……然而，压制媒体言论的尝试并不是从特朗普开始的。 奥巴马总统监督了一场针对爱德华·斯诺登等举报人的战争，并确保朱利安·阿桑奇在十年中最好的时光都躲藏起来或在监狱里度过。 阿桑奇最引人注目的新闻行动是发布了伊拉克战争日志和附带谋杀视频，该视频显示美国飞行员冷血地屠杀平民，其中包括两名路透社记者。

2020.01.06 She has already been tortured and imprisoned for releasing that information once (“Collateral Murder” video, for example), but in the US, the so-called “land of the free and the home of the brave,” readers must be protected from reading and viewing documents about the horrors of the endless wars the US starts.

她已经因为发布过一次该信息而遭受酷刑和监禁（例如“连带谋杀”视频），但在美国这个所谓的“自由之地和勇敢者的家园”，读者必须受到保护 阅读和查看有关美国发动的无休止战争的恐怖的文件。

CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling – A New York Times editorial today titled “Overkill on a CIA Leak Case” is critical of aspects of the government’s prosecution of CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling who was sentenced to 42 months on Monday. https://accuracy.org/release/operation-merlin-did-cia-seek-to-plant-a-nuclear-gun-on-iran-and-iraq and https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/06/24/whistleblowing-the-pandemic-and-a-law-and-order-system-of-injustice

2017.02.11 Thomas Drake – Former CIA Analyst Sues Defense Department to Vindicate NSA Whistleblowers – NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake has been legally vindicated, but the question he raised about technology and privacy was never resolved. A former CIA analyst is trying to prove Drake was right. https://theintercept.com/2017/02/10/former-cia-analyst-sues-defense-department-to-vindicate-nsa-whistleblowers

2018.06.10 Three years after he was released from prison, former CIA officer John Kiriakou again denounces the torture programe as illegal and unethical which he had exposed back in 2007. Kiriakou explains why he feels no regrets about his decision to blow the whistle, although it came at a high price for him as for NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake: he would do it all over again. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/digitaliberties/cia-whistleblower-no-regrets-i-would-do-it-all-again

There are things far worse than the above. Usually the IC/DoD uses cutouts, deniable 3rd parties for the most severe of it its crimes.

还有比上述更糟糕的事情。 通常，IC/DoD 使用可否认的第三方来实施最严重的犯罪行为。

As Washington wields sticks, urgency rises for de-dollarization: experts, by Wang Cong, March 22, 2021

Corporate CEOs and the government censorship mechanisms they promote will not permit voters alternative views, with Google being at the head of that line, followed by the “CNN effect.”

企业首席执行官和他们推动的政府审查机制不会允许选民提出不同的观点，其中谷歌处于领先地位，其次是“CNN效应”。

Alt-news represents a real “break” from the past. Corporate control over news must be challenged if democracy, the USA and/or even the human species is going to survive.

另类新闻代表着与过去的真正“决裂”。 如果民主、美国和/甚至人类要生存，企业对新闻的控制就必须受到挑战。

What caused the Great Depression? Isolationism. And President Biden is following President Trump’s lead in this. That’s economic suicide. It always has been and always will be. Why did/are they doing this? It plays well to the American public. “Hating them, brings us so much closer together.” It’s called tribalism, and the “Rally around the flag” trick. But, now is totally the wrong time for such games.

是什么导致了大萧条？ 孤立主义。 拜登总统在这方面正在追随特朗普总统的脚步。 这就是经济自杀。 过去一直如此，将来也永远如此。 他们为什么这样做？ 它对美国公众来说效果很好。 “讨厌他们，让我们的关系更加紧密。” 这就是所谓的部落主义，以及“围绕旗帜集会”的伎俩。 但是，现在完全不是进行此类游戏的时机。

Which brings us to the Kadesh Peace Treaty at the top of this page. What is so difficult about the American leadership making mutually beneficial peace treaties with all its imagined enemies? Perhaps if they too had better access to more accurate information (which alt-news provides) they could make better decisions. If the ancients could make peace treatise 3,279 years ago, why can’t we make some now?

这让我们看到了本页顶部的《卡叠什和平条约》。 美国领导层与所有想象中的敌人签订互利的和平条约有何困难？ 或许，如果他们也能更好地获取更准确的信息（另类新闻提供的信息），他们就可以做出更好的决策。 如果古人在3279年前就能制定和平条约，为什么我们现在就不能制定和平条约呢？

The first “alt-news” magazine I ever saw was called “Kaleidoscope” (1967-1971). My family returned back to Milwaukee again from Europe in late 1968. In early 1969 my older brother had some issues of Kaleidoscope laying around and I was fascinated by how totally differently they saw current events, in our city, nation and the Vietnam War compared to the local (MSM) newspaper the Milwaukee Journal and its syndicated stories from AP, and UPI.

我见过的第一本“另类新闻”杂志叫做《万花筒》（1967-1971）。 1968 年末，我的家人再次从欧洲返回密尔沃基。1969 年初，我的哥哥手里拿着一些万花筒杂志，我很着迷的是，他们对我们城市、国家和越南战争的当前事件的看法与我们的城市、国家和越南战争相比是多么不同。 当地 (MSM) 报纸：《密尔沃基日报》及其来自美联社和合众国际社的联合报道。

Above: The Kaleidoscope alt-newspaper promoted a peace treaty between “the people” of Vietnam and US, totally rejecting the war, racism, classism, and nationalism.

上图：万花筒另类报纸提倡越南和美国“人民”之间签订和平条约，完全拒绝战争、种族主义、阶级主义和民族主义。

My uncle the super-spy/solder drank himself to death after leading bombing raids in the illegal wars in Laos and Cambodia. My parents had a very serious talk with me. They told me that I should not follow his path. That was liberating because my childhood was in some ways very “Spartan” to a degree few can possibly imagine.

I had been groomed (brutally) to follow my uncle’s footsteps and suddenly found myself quite free instead. The Summer of 1969 was very enlightening for me. I realized I had grown up seeing the world upside down and backwards. Then the alt-news Bugle American newsletter/magazine came out in 1970, which was also anti-war and I absorbed that with rapt attention.

我被（残酷地）训练成追随叔叔的脚步，但突然发现自己变得非常自由。 1969年的夏天对我来说很有启发。 我意识到我在成长过程中看到的世界是颠倒和倒退的。 然后 1970 年另类新闻《号角》美国时事通讯/杂志问世，它也是反战的，我全神贯注地吸收了它。

Three friends and I started an alt-newspaper at our high school. There was an anti-war theme, and we made fun of a couple of teachers that were just a bit too strange for us.

我和三个朋友在高中创办了一份另类报纸。 有一个反战主题，我们取笑了几位对我们来说有点太奇怪的老师。

There was a large state university right across the street so at the age of 13 I started hanging out with the “hippies,” who were mainly bonded by opposition to the Vietnam war and devoted to ending apartheid in South Africa. The University of Milwaukee Wisconsin was investing in South African Krugerrand gold coins. So it was a real issue for us.

街对面有一所大型州立大学，因此我 13 岁时开始与“嬉皮士”交往，他们主要因反对越南战争而结下不解之缘，并致力于结束南非的种族隔离制度。 威斯康星州密尔沃基大学正在投资南非克鲁格金币。 所以这对我们来说是一个真正的问题。

That was the first time in American history millions of whites and blacks sat down together at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood. We didn’t eat much back then but agreed on our shared knowledge that war and the oil corporations are evil.

这是美国历史上第一次数以百万计的白人和黑人坐在兄弟姐妹的餐桌旁。 那时我们吃得不多，但我们一致认为战争和石油公司是邪恶的。

我们认识的每个从越南回来的人都脑子混乱，谋杀无辜的越南人都是大公司和政府之间的腐败交易造成的； 血债血偿的等式。

Everybody we knew who came back from Vietnam was messed up in the head, and murdering innocent Vietnamese was all due to a corrupt deal between the big corporations and the government; a blood for money equation.

Kaleidoscope and then the Bugle American were the flagpoles of the anti-war movement in Milwaukee but not the heart of it. Still, those alt-newspapers articulated what everyone knew was true. The heart of the anti-war movement was in the university dorm rooms late at night.

万花筒和后来的美国军号是密尔沃基反战运动的旗杆，但不是其核心。 尽管如此，这些另类报纸还是阐明了每个人都知道的事实。 反战运动的核心是深夜的大学宿舍。

A few times Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) showed up but mostly everything was local and organizing anti-war and anti-apartheid demonstrations were just some of the topics people talked about. The world was being reborn and we were part of it. The “establishment” was corrupted by corporate influence, from the oil corporations and fast-food franchises to the military industrial complex and its guns, bombs, napalm and landmines.

民主社会学生会（SDS）曾出现过几次，但大多数都是当地的，组织反战和反种族隔离示威只是人们谈论的一些话题。 世界正在重生，我们也是其中的一部分。 从石油公司和快餐连锁店到军工综合体及其枪支、炸弹、凝固汽油弹和地雷，“建制派”被企业影响力所腐蚀。

I remember when the Bugle’s office was firebombed in 1975 and the car of Kaleidoscope’s editor John Kois was also bombed. Everyone believed Milwaukee Police Department’s “Red Squad” was behind those attacks. So radicalizing youth movements were the norm back then too. Thus, I guess my current opinions regarding the need for alt-news were shaped a long time ago.

我记得1975年号号的办公室遭到燃烧弹袭击，万花筒编辑约翰·科伊斯的汽车也被炸毁。 每个人都认为密尔沃基警察局的“红队”是这些袭击的幕后黑手。 因此，激进的青年运动在当时也是常态。 因此，我想我目前关于另类新闻需求的观点是很久以前就形成的。

As bad as that was, it was worse in other places like Kent State University, where police shot down and killed students for protesting against expanding the Vietnam war into Laos and Cambodia. Those protests were not funded by any foreigner powers. Those were purely domestic.

尽管情况很糟糕，但肯特州立大学等其他地方的情况更糟，警察开枪打死了抗议越南战争扩大到老挝和柬埔寨的学生。 这些抗议活动没有得到任何外国势力的资助。 那些纯粹是国内的。

The Orangeburg Massacre was a shooting of student protesters that took place on February 8, 1968, on the campus of South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, South Carolina, United States. Nine Highway Patrolmen and one city police officer opened fire on a crowd of African American students, killing three and injuring twenty-eight. The shootings were the culmination of a series of protests against racial segregation at a local bowling alley.

奥兰治堡大屠杀是1968年2月8日在美国南卡罗来纳州奥兰治堡的南卡罗来纳州立大学校园内发生的一起学生抗议者枪击事件。 九名高速公路巡警和一名城市警察向一群非洲裔美国学生开枪，造成三人死亡、二十八人受伤。 这起枪击事件是当地一家保龄球馆发生的一系列反对种族隔离抗议活动的高潮。

The police and FBI were playing all kinds of dirty tricks back then, same as today. I had a good friend named “X” who was paid to “penetrate” the Black Panther movement at our university. I think mostly they penetrated her from the stories she told me. I know dozens of dirty tricks the police used back then, the same as today. Infiltrate, divide and conquer.

当年的警察和联邦调查局，和今天一样，玩弄着各种肮脏的伎俩。 我有一个叫“X”的好朋友，他受雇“渗透”我们大学的黑豹运动。 我想他们主要是通过她告诉我的故事来了解她的。 我知道当时警察使用的几十种肮脏伎俩，和今天一样。 渗透、分而治之。

At one demonstration one student was particularly aggressive, pushing and shoving the line of police. Finally one policeman grabbed his shirt was about to hit him with a club when the “student” said: “I’m undercover, don’t hit me,” and he pulled a police badge out of his back pocket.

在一次示威活动中，一名学生特别咄咄逼人，推搡警察队伍。 最后，一名警察抓住他的衬衫，正准备用棍棒打他，这时“学生”说：“我是卧底，别打我。”然后他从后口袋里掏出一枚警察徽章。

Why? To make the students look violent when we were not. After demonstrations police rounded up groups of us and accused us of “possession of a controlled substance.” That means drugs. Me too. Several times. Spent a few nights in Jail too. I was always released the next day, but just being accused of a crime in the US goes on your permanent record.

为什么？ 我们的目标是让学生看起来很暴力，而我们并不暴力。 示威活动结束后，警察围捕了我们，并指控我们“持有受管制物质”。 这意味着毒品。 我也是。 几次。 也在监狱里呆了几个晚上。 我总是第二天就被释放，但只要在美国被指控犯罪就会永久记录在案。

Tricks, traps, lies, threats, bullying, wild provocation and sabotage. “Hippies are all communists!” they said.

欺骗、陷阱、谎言、威胁、欺凌、疯狂挑衅和破坏。 “嬉皮士都是共产主义者！” 他们说。

The article above is about an FBI operation (called COINTELPRO) designed to turn the anti-war movement against the Black Power movement.

上面的文章是关于联邦调查局的一项行动（称为COINTELPRO），旨在引起反战运动和黑人权力运动之间的对抗。

Now however the “establishment,” the corporate masters also use more sophisticated methods, like blocking alt-news on the internet, suing them with frivolous lawsuits, harassment, and murder too. I think the alt-news sources on my list are clean still. Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, alt-news is needed to counter the endless stream of complete fabrications and otherwise fragmented distortions from the “information warfare” branch of government.

现在，无论“建制派”如何，企业主们也使用更复杂的方法，例如封锁互联网上的另类新闻，通过无聊的诉讼、骚扰和谋杀来起诉他们。 我认为我名单上的另类新闻来源仍然很干净。 只有时间会给出答案。 有一点是肯定的，需要另类新闻来对抗政府“信息战”部门源源不断的完全捏造和零散的歪曲。

I worked as a journalist in three or four wars, depending on what you call a war.

我作为一名记者参加了三场、四场或五场战争，这取决于你对战争的定义。

I traveled a lot in my life (all five continents – almost half my 67 years) and I want and need American and European voters to wake up to the realities of their voting decisions – and THEY CAN’T DO THAT without seeing the results of those decisions, or having access to real news for a change.

我一生中去过很多地方（所有五个大陆 – 几乎是我 67 年的一半），并且希望并需要美国和欧洲选民认识到他们投票决定的现实 – 他们不能在没有看到这些结果的情况下这样做 做出决定，或者获得真实的新闻来改变。

Meanwhile the USA is teetering on the edge of a class-based civil war and ready, willing and able to start WWIII in a desperate attempt to hang on to its sick, psychotic and fading fantasy of global domination forever (hegemony in perpetuity).

与此同时，美国正摇摇欲坠地处于阶级内战的边缘，并准备好、愿意并且有能力发动第三次世界大战，绝望地试图继续其病态的、精神病态的、日渐衰落的全球统治幻想（永久霸权）。

Corporate CEOs and the government censorship mechanisms they promote will not permit voters alternative views, with Google being at the head of that line, followed by the “CNN effect.”

企业首席执行官和他们推动的政府审查机制不会允许选民提出不同的观点，其中谷歌处于领先地位，其次是“CNN效应”。

If the USA continues assaulting other nations with unjustified sanctions, soon, within the next few years at the most, the dollar will become worthless. The avalanche could start tomorrow. There is no time to waste.

如果美国继续以不合理的制裁攻击其他国家，很快，最多在未来几年内，美元将变得一文不值。 雪崩可能明天开始。 没有时间可以浪费了。
