人、不如狗



二战末期,日寇训练了一批狂热的军国主义年轻人,成立一支「神风敢死队」(kamikaze);一个飞行员,驾驶一架只有单程燃料兼装满炸药的飞机,瞄准了美国的航空母舰就直冲目标,实行自杀攻击,小刀锯大树,以最少资源获取最高破坏力。

这种在军国主义影响下的精神病、把自己的死亡当作牺牲的自杀式袭击、以达到杀害和打击敌方信念的恐怖手段,往后全被伊斯兰宗教极端主义的恐怖分子承传下来了。

巴勒斯坦和以色列长年的冲突之下,美国援助下的以色列,拥有许多高科技武器,相比有着健全军事体系的以色列,巴勒斯坦则是处於极度弱势的地位。尤以哈马斯恐怖组织,不断使用人体制作自杀式爆炸去对抗以色列。而恐怖组织的任何举动,都能成为以色列报复的把柄,一起自杀性爆炸,就足以引来以色列对巴勒斯坦的狂攻滥炸、摧毁民房,同时也炸死许多无辜的老百姓。

回顾上世纪80年代,苏联入侵阿富汗,美国和沙特把亿万的资金,通过巴基斯坦资助培训“圣战”人员返回阿富汗,参加反抗苏联的斗争。
当年巴基斯坦第6任总统Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq,将其中大部分的钱给了宗教信仰最极端的阿富汗游击队领导人。1989年苏联撤离阿富汗,巴基斯坦军方和情报部门,继续支持伊斯兰极端分子,让他们在印属克什米尔地区搞斗争。

1994年,Benazir Bhutto的政府,也决定给与宗教狂热著称的前对抗苏联分子支持,称他们为塔利班,意即伊斯兰教的学生。在美国和巴基斯坦的支助下,塔利班於1996年控制了阿富汗首都 Kabul。
巴基斯坦原以为通过帮助阿富汗实现和平,就可以将自己的影响力扩展到石油资源丰富的中亚地区,岂知却搞出一大群妖魔鬼怪祸害人间。

据统计,单在2010年,就有1224名巴基斯坦国民在自杀性恐怖袭击事件中死亡,其中遇难平民为1041人,塔利班选择的人肉炸弹,大部分是年龄在12岁到17岁的孩子,连8岁儿童也不放过。在阿富汗和巴基斯坦边境地区,塔利班给穷苦人家的孩子提供免费食宿,甚至给这些家庭一些津贴,而大多数的孩子,都是克什米尔和阿富汗战争的下一代或遗孤,战斗,就是他们生命的一部分,也是他们唯一认识的一件事。
在宗教学校里,孩子们不许读报、看电视、听收音机等等,就只能读《可兰经》。塔利班以教授可兰经帮他们洗脑,教他们使用手枪、冲锋枪、火箭炮、手榴弹和各种炸弹,告诉他们用这些武器来对付异教徒,最后,教他们如何进行自杀性袭击。被洗脑后的孩子们都相信,塔利班为他们提供了上天堂的捷径,消灭异教徒就是尽忠他们的真主,当人肉炸弹是一份荣誉,能使他们成为乡间邻里的大英雄。

毒辣的车臣非法武装分子,把那些死在战斗中非法分子的寡妻或姐妹,煽动她们为亲人报仇,把她们变成不惜屠戮老弱妇孺的冷血杀手——黑寡妇。还有一类“人肉炸弹”,是被车臣恐怖分子掳劫并惨遭凌辱的无辜少女。高加索山区少女一旦失去贞操,就被所有人唾弃,连亲人也拒不接受,在恐怖分子灌输宗教极端思想,甚至强制吸毒后,这些可怜的少女就只有走上自杀攻击的死路。

自9.11以来,美国开始打着反恐的口号,邀同它的北约盟友先后出兵阿富汗、伊拉克、也门、利比亚、索马里、叙利亚。另一方面,美国和沙特却资助伊斯兰极端分子,在个别国家成立武装叛军扳倒该国的政权,导致恐怖主义日益蔓延扩散,恐怖分子组织越加壮大。

2015年11月13日法国巴黎及其近郊,连续发生恐怖攻击事件,造成130多人遇害,300多人受伤。恐怖分子在身上绑上自杀式炸弹,带着枪支在法国首都的心脏地带,进行恐怖袭击行动。事后,恐怖组织伊斯兰国(IS)公告,法国继续是伊斯兰国的主要目标,并警告法国,这次袭击只是风暴的开始。

11月18日凌晨时分,法国警方精锐部队的110名警员,带着反恐警犬Diesel (柴油)往圣德尼市中心一所公寓顶楼围剿恐怖分子。在突袭行动中,一名女嫌犯手持AK-47步枪向警方扫射,然后引爆身上的炸弹,身处最前线的Diesel 被炸成了碎片。Diesel 是一头7岁的比利时牧羊犬,曾经立下许多赫赫军功,接受过嗅出爆裂物的专业训练,所以牠会死死咬住身穿自杀式炸弹背心的女恐怖分子。

Diesel 殉职后,法国警方的官网布满了向“柴油”致敬和悼念的讯息。在推特上出现了一个新的热门标签——“Je suis chien” (我是狗狗)。全球各地网友用“ Je suis chien” 的标签发布了数万条推文,一些网友把自己的爱犬照片写上“Je suis chien ”,向法国英雄狗狗Diesel 致敬。一名法国警员说:“ 我们就像失去了一位挚爱的同袍。”

俄罗斯已经决定送一只牧羊小犬给法国,以替代牺牲的警犬Diesel,小狗叫做Dobaynya。(那是以俄罗斯民间传说中,以能力、善良和勇气著称的英雄Dobrynya Nikitch 而命名)

MH 17-伪旗行动(false flag)的祭品





话说自从美国9.11 事件发生后,接下来有Sandy Hook 小学枪击事件、2012年科罗拉多Aurora 的电影院枪击事件、连荷里活制片和导演Nathan Folks 也认为是大骗局的2013年Boston 马拉松爆炸案等等等等,难怪美国电视红人幽浮专家(Ufologist)Richard Michael Dolan 说,这是一个伪旗行动的时代(false flag era)。

Richard Michael Dolan 阐述:“False flag operations require control over the global media narrative and the ability to intimidate other countries into not speaking out against " inside jobs", only a few countries have the means and motives to pull them off.

 The false flag phenomenon is distinctively modern and used as an ideological weapon to control populations with the fear of a manufactured enemy. They are used in ostensibly democratic systems where people believe they have inalienable rights, Such democratic systems- primarily the United States, Israel, and Great Britain- must shock people into sociopolitical and geopolitical consent and, as such, required sophisticated modern propaganda systems and advanced covert operations teams with highly proficient skills. ”


2014年7月17日,一架波音777马航班机MH17,从阿姆斯特丹飞往吉隆坡途中,在乌克兰东部靠近俄罗斯边界的Donetsk Oblast坠毁,机上298人全部罹难。事件发生后,美国立即跳出来指责俄罗斯参与了MH17被导弹击落的事件。而乌克兰反政府武装部队,却力指凶手是亲美的乌克兰政府。

Ulson Gunnar 是驻纽约的一名geopolitical analyst (地缘政治分析) 和作家,2015年10月14日,他在网络杂志“New Eastern Outlook ” 写道:

“At best, the United States, it's NATO allies and the regime they have collectively created in Kiev, Ukraine, will be able to claim Russia, or militans defending eastern Ukraine from Kiev's armed incursions, accidentally shot down Malaysia Airlines flight 17 ( MH17) after air controllers in Kiev recklessly sent it on a course over a battlefield other airlines had made a point to circumvent.

At worst,  the US and its junior partners across Europe and the remnants of the British Commonwealth, will be implicated either in shooting it down accidentally themselves, or worse still, shooting it down on purpose in order to frame Russia and anti-regime militants in eastern Ukraine.”

2015年10月13日,荷兰安全委员会公布MH17 空难调查最终报告,称客机是被山毛榉导弹击落,不过,报告全文没有放出,只是通报了结论而已。

The Dutch Safety Board (DSB) 以及the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) ,在报告中有关MH17 残骸附近的山毛榉导弹碎片是这样写着的:

“ The parts are of particular interest to the criminal investigation as they can possibly provide more information about who was involved in the crash of MH17. For that reason the JIT further investigates the origin of this parts, The JIT will internationally enlist the help of experts, among others forensic specialists and weapon-experts.

 At present the conclusion cannot be drawn that there is a causal connection between the discovered parts and the crash of flight MH17.

The JIT conducts the criminal investigation and the DSB the investigation into the cause of the crash. Both investigations are conducted separately but JIT and DSB occasionally share material. In its final report the DSB will report on the discovered parts.”

荷兰方面明明说不能证明导弹碎片和MH17 空难划上等号,可是西方主流媒体就偏偏把事实扭曲来误导蒙混读者,如BBC报道的大大标题是:
“ MH17:Russian-made missile parts at Ukraine crash site ”

Guardian 的标题则是:“ MH17 crash: Fragments of Russian missile BUK launcher found at crash site ”

当人们一看到‘Russian’ 这个字,脑筋连转都没转一下,立刻就下结论:俄罗斯用导弹打下了MH17!(可见西方主流媒体,实在是伪旗行动的最佳配合者之一。)


至於俄罗斯方面,则提供了较为全面的证据证明自己的观点。甚至使用导弹和真飞机做了两次模拟试验,并将结果公诸于世。

俗语有说,纸包唔住火,任何谎言最终都会被戳破,任何阴谋最终一定会水落石出。马航MH370 失踪和MH17 空难事件,并非如新闻报道般的简单,事实摆明存在着太多不合理的现象,以及疑点重重。

MH17 事件发生不足24小时内,Youtube 已经发布了一则由乌克兰军事情报部门制作的影片。后来有人把这段影片分析,发现影片的制作日期是7月16日。乌克兰政府军方情报人员,在MH17 事发前一天,已制作了这段窃听片段来证明叛军曾使用导弹击落飞机,WHY?

MH17 事件发生后,俄罗斯总统普京提出了10大疑点,包括:
乌克兰空军是否会让国际调查员调查他们的空对空及地对空导弹?
国际委员会是否获准查核乌克兰军战机当日的飞行纪录?
MH17 客机偏离原定航道靠北飞行,乌克兰航空指挥当局,为何容许MH17飞进反恐战区?等等等等----------

美国和乌克兰就是装聋作哑,完全没有作出回应。

俄罗斯指出,事发时,雷达上显现2架乌克兰SU-25 战机尾随着MH17,当是正是MH17坠落的时间和位置。俄政府在记者招待会上展示当时的航空记录,证明有亲美国的乌克兰政府军的战机,在MH17后方尾随,然后MH17 就从雷达上消失。MH17 是很有可能被乌克兰政府战机击落,而西方政府则完全没有回应相关指控。

其实,在2014年7月30日,著名德国机师也是航空专家的Peter Haisenko,就他对MH17 残骸的仔细研究和分析,在报告中写道:

“The facts speak clear and loud and are beyond the realm of speculation: The cockpit shows traces of shelling! You can see the entry and exit holes. The edge of the holes is bent inwards. These are the smaller holes, round and clean., showing the entry points likely that of a 30 millimeter caliber projectile.

~~~~This aircraft was not hit by a missile in the central portion. The destruction is limited to the cockpit area. Now you have to factor in that this part is constructed of specially reinforced material.

~~~~~If we now consider the armament of a typical SU25 we learn this : It is equipped with a double- barreled 30-mm gun, type GSh-302/AO-17A, equipped with a 250 round magazine of anti-tank incendiary shells and splinter-explosive shells (dum-dum), arranged in alternating order. The cockpit of the MH17 has evidently been fired at from both sides : the entry and exit holes are found on the same fragment of it's cockpit segment. ”

根据多年驾驶大型航空客机的机组人员指出,一架由荷兰飞往马来西亚的长途航班,飞机必定是注满汽油的。MH17 只是飞行了一小半的路程而已,如果是在3万3千尺高空被导弹击中爆炸坠毁,尸体也应该是被炸得肢离破碎的,偏偏在飞机残骸附近,就遍布着不少较完整的尸体。乌克兰叛军在搬运尸体时,发现那些尸体都是没有血的,现场也没有任何血迹,尸体好像已死去多日和被抽干血似的。

Dr Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner of New York City and chief forensic pathologist for the New York State Police says: “Many of the victims did exhibit minor burns and shrapnel wounds, most of which appeared non-lethal. He says this suggests that some of the passengers could have been alive and even conscious during their decent.”

如果MH17 的乘客从3万3千尺高空坠下还能够是活人一个的,那真是奇迹中的奇迹咯!




坠机现场还发现一大堆非常新的护照,飞机爆炸后竟然没有烧毁护照?其中有一本更是被剪了角的过期护照。另一方面,有人发现当看回登机资料,乘客和护照相片中的人,岁数相差大得很离谱。现场搜集到的所谓遗物,也出奇得很干净,几乎没有破损、被烟熏黑、焚烧、血污的痕迹。(难道这些都是道具吗?)

MH-17 Baggage on ground


还有就是MH17空难现场的引擎,size太小了,根本不符合波音777客机引擎的规格,而是属於波音747的引擎。(是谁搞不清楚,搬错道具了吗?)



Plane

有一名叫做Cor Pan 的乘客,在阿姆斯特丹机场登机前,拍了一张MH17的照片,上载到 Facebook ,还写上:“Should it vanish,this is what it looks like.  ”

这个本名是Cor Schilder的Cor Pan,好像能预测未来,真的就搭上了出意外的飞机。空难发生后的第二天,Cor Pan 放在脸书上的MH17 的照片,被分享了2万9千次。

一名读者Darryn Letley指出:“ If you look at the registration on the nose wheel, you will notice the letters ' RC ' , meaning that the registration of that plane is 9M-MRC. The plane that crashed has the registration 9M-MRD. Both planes are the same type, Boeing 777-200 registered to Malaysian Airlines.  ”
 飞机残骸中,机身编号是9M-MRD,照片中的飞机(MH17)编号是9M-MRC,干嘛要把一架冒充是MH17的飞机坠毁在乌克兰东部俄罗斯的边境呢?

还有更奇怪的事情,原来MH17 航班明明是已经被取消了的,那架坠毁的究竟是什么飞机啊?

大家都期望MH370和MH17真相被揭露的那一天,能够早点到来,以慰那些不幸被牺牲在阴谋里的无辜冤魂。

拒绝TPP

Image result for tpp


经过了5年的谈判,2015年10月5日在美国亚特兰大,来自12个国家的代表终於达成协议,要在亚太区建立一个复盖全球经济40%,所谓的最大自由贸易区;这个就是近日在国际间最热门话题、可也是问题一箩箩、又神秘兮兮、让人们疑虑连连的「泛太平洋伙伴关系协议」(The Trans-Pacific Partnership ),简称TPP。

TPP由美国当龙头老大,其他11个谈判成员国包括:日本、加拿大、秘鲁、智利、墨西哥、澳洲、纽西兰、汶莱、越南、新加坡以及马来西亚。各国部长已经在会议上达成基本协定,只差还没正式签约。

TPP 谈判所涉及的议体非常复杂,谈判过程半点也不透明。有趣的是,没有任何一个参与TPP 制定的国家,曾经公布过TPP 的细则,而唯一可以让世人窥探到TPP 内容的文件,竟然是来自於WikiLeaks (维基解密)。

还有更加荒谬的是:美国与所有TPP成员国的谈判,都是在双边基础上进行,谈判内容互相保密,各国不知道美国与其他国家的谈判内容。相关谈判文件则需等到协议生效后4年,才能对外公布。WHY?为啥要鬼鬼祟祟?究竟有啥见不得光的隐密?

在TPP谈判中,奥巴马政府就曾屡次对日本、越南等国,施加强大的政治压力,逼它们签下实则是“出让部分利益”的不平定条约。美国在谈判中以大欺小立场强硬,占尽小国的便宜,要其他国家作出更多让步,美国妥协的部分就很少。

为了实现亚太“ 再平衡”战略,美国用TPP 这个贸易工具,除了确保美国在全球经济和科技创新竞争中,永远保持绝对优势,同时可以把整个亚太地区,牢牢牵制在其掌控中。
美国国防部长卡特,就曾经说过,TPP是美国亚太贸易的支柱,其重要性不亚於增添一艘航空母舰。美国国防部长,甚至变身当了TPP推销员。

“ ----It was one of the important parts of America's rebalance to Asia. In fact you might not expect to hear this from a secretary of defence, but in terms of the rebalance in its broader sense, TPP is as important to me as another aircraft carrier-------” by Ashton Carter.

虽然奥巴马大言不惭的说,TPP协定为美国的农业、畜牧业和制造业,提供了一个公平的环境。美国民众获得了他们应有的同等待遇。可是,美国当地工会组织、环保机构、消费者维权组织、医疗保健机构,多次组织民众前往亚特兰大市区TPP 谈判所在附近游行抗议,许多抗议者聚集在会议酒店门前,高喊“停止TPP”。

福特汽车已经首先跳出来,要美国国会拒绝TPP 贸易协议。反对者称,TPP是专门以维护某些大企业而设,平民老百姓根本不会得益。一旦TPP实施后,许多不利於人民的问题将会产生,如汇率操纵、环境和健康保护、食品安全、药品垄断、网络隐私权、政府的透明度等等,完全受TPP 所控制。
反对者更表示,从WikiLeaks泄漏出来的内容,TPP 在贸易方面仅约略带过,提到最多的反而是地缘政治的操纵,以及如何对参与国家的贸易投资进行企业统治。

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz says, it's being driven by the interests of corporations, and will do little for the well being of citizens. The fact that negotiations are being carried out in secret has only served to enflame such criticism. The little we know about the TPP has come from negotiation leaks; we won't even know what's in the final agreement until it's already been signed.

其实TPP不是单纯的调降关税,还包括令人闻之色变的「投资人与地主国之间争端解决机制」(Investor to State Dispute Settlement)简称ISDS。这个机制,被许多国家和公益团体视为 “让跨国财团利益,凌驾於国家主权,包括宪法与公共利益之上的恶法”。

当外国投资者与地主国发生争端时,争议都会由国际仲裁机构来裁判。根据加拿大、澳洲、南非等国的重要相关案例,这些仲裁机构,多为大型利益财团所控制,即便是已开发国家也沦为输家,得付给财团巨大的赔偿,更何况是弱势的发展中国家?

加拿大政府,就曾经因为推动健康和环境保护相关法律,阻挡了跨国财团的财路,遭到若干大型企业先后控告。冗长的司法程序,延宕了公众利益政策的推动,甚至让当局唯恐挨告,日后避免通关类似的法律。

巴拉圭政府下令扩大香烟警语,就被美国烟草公司Philip Morris 透过ISDS机制而挨告。澳洲也曾因制定烟草商品税课征、限制烟草行销费用、加强禁烟等规定,反被 Philip Morris 指控侵犯了商标权,并被要求陪偿高达几百万澳币。

为了纠正过去种族隔离政策的错误,南非政府修法,让有色人种也能参加丰厚利润的矿业开发。却被长期控制南非资源的欧洲利益团体杯葛,透过ISDS 告上国际仲裁法庭。当南非政府打算依据宪法来落实诸如废除种族隔离政策等改革时,反被ISDS恶法所牵制。
明显的是,ISDS让各协议国暴露在投资者的诉讼风险中,让资本家利益高於国家利益。
所以,一旦签下了TPP的小国家,就自然会被TPP协议里面的ISDS所钳制,分分钟在等着被阴险的跨国财团来挤压咯!


通常,美国对药品专利权的保护期大约为10年,但在TPP谈判中,美国的大型制药公司,要求把药品专利权的保护期延长到20年以上。如此一来,发展中国家的药价就会直线上升,美国的Big Pharma 好像:Johnson & Johnson,、Pfizer、Merk、Eli Lilly、 Abbott、 Bristol Myers Squibb等,就能够继续肆无忌惮的赚取更巨大的利益,控制了许多挽救生命的药物,让数百万计负担不起药价的病患在痛苦中死去。

“The big losers in the TPP are patients and treatment providers in developing countries. ” said Doctors Without Borders/ Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) , calling TPP “ the worst trade agreement for access to medicines in developing countries, which will be forced to change their laws to incorporate abusive intellectual property protections for pharmaceutical companies. ”


话说番薯邦,日前,其中一个在拿鸡怖办公室当擦鞋童的麻花党员灰加降对记者说,如果番薯邦不争取TPP,好处就会被他人全捞光了。灰加降也没忘记拚命赞扬叫做墓尸大法的做生意部长,原因是拿鸡怖在推特上公布,它已经把TPP 这游戏交给墓尸大法去玩了。灰加降说墓尸大法非常勤力又用功,对TPP内容瞭如指掌。麻花党会长尿重濑也帮忙往乌洞主子脚上添抹鞋油,宣布麻花党全力支持TPP。

北极熊发威了!





2015年9月28日,俄罗斯总统普京在第70届联合国大会上,发表了一篇鏗锵有声的演说。
尽管奥巴马在早前,把演说超讲长达50分钟之久,可是,在联合国大会上十年来首次发表演讲的普京,却赢得无数喝彩。

谈到叙利亚问题时,普京表示,在打击恐怖主义方面,除了和阿萨德政权合作别无选择,否则叙利亚就会变成另一个利比亚或伊拉克。普京更不客气的直接批评美国和北约同盟国家,“这几个极度自负和自我感觉不一般的国家,就是造成中东混乱的元凶。”
就美国介入中东和北非问题时,普京问:“究竟你们知不知道,你们在那里干了什么东西?”

基於阿萨德政府向普京要求军事支援,10月1日,俄罗斯对叙利亚ISIS目标发动了20多次空袭。据报道,在叙利亚空袭前60分钟,俄罗斯驻巴格达的武官通知美国使馆人员,俄罗斯将在60分钟后发动攻袭,要求美国军机在空袭期间,不要进入叙利亚空域。


转载:普京在联合国大会的演词(英文),中文译者为扬云飞(旅俄华人)。

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Monday and said the West was making an "enormous mistake" by not cooperating with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the fight against the Islamic State militant group. Here is the full text of his remarks.


PUTIN (THROUGH INTERPRETER): Your excellency Mr. President, your excellency Mr. Secretary General, distinguished heads of state and government, ladies and gentlemen, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations is a good occasion to both take stock of history and talk about our common future.
In 1945, the countries that defeated Nazism joined their efforts to lay solid foundations for the postwar world order.
联合国70周年庆典是个很好的机缘,让我们在回顾历史的同时也谈谈我们共同的未来。1945年,那些摧毁了纳粹的国家,集合了各自的力量,为战后世界格局奠定了坚实的基础。
But I remind you that the key decisions on the principles guiding the cooperation among states, as well as on the establishment of the United Nations, were made in our country, in Yalta, at the meeting of the anti-Hitler coalition leaders.
The Yalta system was actually born in travail. It was won at the cost of tens of millions of lives and two world wars.
This swept through the planet in the 20th century.
Let us be fair. It helped humanity through turbulent, at times dramatic, events of the last seven decades. It saved the world from large-scale upheavals.
我想提醒大家,国家交往之间的关键性原则,关于建立联合国的决定是在我国举行的雅尔塔会议上,由反希特勒联盟的首脑们做出的。雅尔塔体系久经磨难与考验,(为了它的建立)付出了几千万人的生命,(吸取了)20世纪两次蔓延整个行星的世界大战(的教训)。而且客观地说,在最近70年各种狂风骤雨般的事件中,它帮助世界避免了大规模的灾难。
The United Nations is unique in its legitimacy, representation and universality. It is true that lately the U.N. has been widely criticized for supposedly not being efficient enough, and for the fact that the decision-making on fundamental issues stalls due to insurmountable differences, first of all, among the members of the Security Council.
联合国是一个最具有合法性,代表性和多样性的组织。是的,近年来对联合国的批评之声不绝于耳。说什么它表现出无效率的特征,而要取得原则性决定却受限于各种难以调和的矛盾,这些矛盾首先存在于安理会常任理事国之间。
However, I'd like to point out there have always been differences in the U.N. throughout all these 70 years of existence. The veto right has always been exercised by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, the Soviet Union and Russia later, alike. It is absolutely natural for so diverse and representative an organization.
但是我想提醒大家,在联合国当中总是存在着分歧,它存在的七十年来一直如此。否决权一直有人在使用:美国使用过,还有英国、法国、中国,以及苏联和之后的俄罗斯。对于一个如此多元和多代表性的组织而言,这是非常自然的现象。在联合国建立之日起就没有考虑过,这里会被单一主张所垄断。而这个组织的本质,就是建立在寻找和形成妥协之上,其力量则来源于综合考虑不同的意见和观点。
When the U.N. was established, its founders did not in the least think that there would always be unanimity. The mission of the organization is to seek and reach compromises, and its strength comes from taking different views and opinions into consideration. Decisions debated within the U.N. are either taken as resolutions or not. As diplomats say, they either pass or do not pass.
在联合国的舞台上讨论各种问题、做出决定,以表决通过决议的形式产生,也有不能通过的时候——就像外交官们说的那样:通过还是未过。无论如何,任何国家如果绕开这个规定,(它的所作所为)就是非法的,而且与联合国宪章和现代国际法相冲突。
Whatever actions any state might take bypassing this procedure are illegitimate. They run counter to the charter and defy international law. We all know that after the end of the Cold War — everyone is aware of that — a single center of domination emerged in the world, and then those who found themselves at the top of the pyramid were tempted to think that if they were strong and exceptional, they knew better and they did not have to reckon with the U.N., which, instead of [acting to] automatically authorize and legitimize the necessary decisions, often creates obstacles or, in other words, stands in the way.
我们知道,在“冷战”结束后——所有人都知道——世界上出现了唯一的单极霸主。那时,处在金字塔顶峰的国家,产生了幻觉,认为自己既然如此的强大和特别,那么肯定比所有人都更加明了该怎么做。由此推理出来,也就不需要考虑联合国了,因为它不肯自动形成决议,为(这个国家自认的)“正确”事项来背书,而只是找麻烦,就像我国的谚语,“就是一块绊脚石”。因此这个国家开始传播些论调:什么联合国从建立时形成的模式,已经老朽了,已经完成自己的历史使命了。
It has now become commonplace to see that in its original form, it has become obsolete and completed its historical mission. Of course, the world is changing and the U.N. must be consistent with this natural transformation. Russia stands ready to work together with its partners on the basis of full consensus, but we consider the attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the United Nations as extremely dangerous. They could lead to a collapse of the entire architecture of international organizations, and then indeed there would be no other rules left but the rule of force.
当然,世界是不断变化的,而联合国也应该符合这种自然的改变。俄罗斯愿意在广泛协商的基础上,与所有的伙伴国家共同推动联合国的发展,但是我们认为,那些动摇联合国权威和合法性的企图是极端危险的。这可能导致整个国际关系结构的毁灭。那时,除了丛林法则外,我们就真的什么规则都没有了。
We would get a world dominated by selfishness rather than collective work, a world increasingly characterized by dictate rather than equality. There would be less of a chain of democracy and freedom, and that would be a world where true independent states would be replaced by an ever-growing number of de facto protectorates and externally controlled territories.
What is the state sovereignty, after all, that has been mentioned by our colleagues here? It is basically about freedom and the right to choose freely one's own future for every person, nation and state. By the way, dear colleagues, the same holds true of the question of the so-called legitimacy of state authority. One should not play with or manipulate words.
Every term in international law and international affairs should be clear, transparent and have uniformly understood criteria. We are all different, and we should respect that. No one has to conform to a single development model that someone has once and for all recognized as the only right one. We should all remember what our past has taught us.

在那样的世界里,就不会有集体合作而只剩下自私自利;在那样的世界里,就只会有越来越多的霸权和越来越少的平等、民主与自由;在那样的世界里,真正的独立国家会被日益增加的、由外部操纵的傀儡国所取代。说起来什么叫国家主权?之前已经有同僚在这里谈起过,这首先是个关于自由的问题,每个人、每个民族、每个国家选择自己命运的自由。
尊敬的同僚们,说起来与此同样重要的,还有所谓的合法政权的问题。(在这个问题上,)不能玩弄和操纵名词。在国际法里,国际事务的每个概念都必须明确、清晰,必须有一个固定的理解和固定的定义。各国都是不同的,对此必须给予尊重。没有任何人必须遵从单一的发展路线,即使这种路线被某些人一次性地定义为永远正确。
We also remember certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union. Social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes within other countries based on ideological preferences, often led to tragic consequences and to degradation rather than progress.
It seemed, however, that far from learning from others' mistakes, everyone just keeps repeating them, and so the export of revolutions, this time of so-called democratic ones, continues. It would suffice to look at the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, as has been mentioned by previous speakers. Certainly political and social problems in this region have been piling up for a long time, and people there wish for changes naturally.
But how did it actually turn out? Rather than bringing about reforms, an aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster. Nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life.
我们所有人都不应该忘记历史的经验。比如说我们都记得苏联的历史。输出社会变革实验,试图从自己的意识形态原则出发来改造这个或是那个国家,经常导致灾难性的后果,没有推动进步,而是造成了退步。但是好像没有人去学习他人的错误经验,而是不断的重复错误,现在继续输出所谓的“民主革命”。
只要看看中东和北非的情况就足够了,之前的演讲人也提到了那里。当然,这一地区早就积累了大量政治和社会问题,而那里的人们也确实期盼着改变。但是实际上得到的是什么呢?本来应该进行的国家制度和生活方式改革,结果被极具侵略性的外部干涉无情地摧毁了。本来想庆祝民主和进步,得到的是暴力、贫穷、社会灾难,而人权乃至人命本身更是一毛不值了。
I cannot help asking those who have caused the situation, do you realize now what you've done? But I am afraid no one is going to answer that. Indeed, policies based on self-conceit and belief in one's exceptionality and impunity have never been abandoned.
在这里,我非常想问问造成这种局面的那些人:你们现在到底明不明白你们究竟都干了些什么?但是,恐怕这个问题也会在空气中消失得无影无踪,因为那些自信的、相信自己的独特性、自认不会被惩罚的政治家们,并没有放弃自己的观点。
It is now obvious that the power vacuum created in some countries of the Middle East and North Africa through the emergence of anarchy areas,  which immediately started to be filled with extremists and terrorists.
Tens of thousands of militants are fighting under the banners of the so-called Islamic State. Its ranks include former Iraqi servicemen who were thrown out into the street after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Many recruits also come from Libya, a country whose statehood was destroyed as a result of a gross violation of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973. And now, the ranks of radicals are being joined by the members of the so-called moderate Syrian opposition supported by the Western countries.
现在已经很明显了,中东和北非的一些国家里形成的权力真空,导致无政府区域的出现,并立刻被极端分子与恐怖分子所填充。在所谓的“伊斯兰国”的旗帜下,已经有几万人的武装人员在战斗。他们当中有过去伊拉克的军人,他们在2003年伊拉克被入侵后流落街头。恐怖分子的兵源地还包括利比亚,而正是对联合国安理会1973号决议的粗暴破坏,导致该国体制被摧毁。而现在一些被西方国家支持的、所谓的叙利亚理性反对派们,也开始投奔这些极端分子了。
First, they are armed and trained and then they defect to the so-called Islamic State. Besides, the Islamic State itself did not just come from nowhere. It was also initially forged as a tool against undesirable secular regimes.
Having established a foothold in Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State has begun actively expanding to other regions. It is seeking dominance in the Islamic world. And not only there, and its plans go further than that. The situation is more than dangerous.
他们首先被武装,被训练,然后就被投入所谓的“伊斯兰国”的行列。而“伊斯兰国”本身也不是凭空出现的,它最早被哺育出来作为反对世俗政权的武器。在叙利亚和伊拉克建立练兵基地之后,“伊斯兰国”开始积极地对外扩张,准备在阿拉伯世界中取得控制权,而他们的目标还不局限于此。现在的局面远远比想象的危险。
In these circumstances, it is hypocritical and irresponsible to make loud declarations about the threat of international terrorism while turning a blind eye to the channels of financing and supporting terrorists, including the process of trafficking and illicit trade in oil and arms. It would be equally irresponsible to try to manipulate extremist groups and place them at one's service in order to achieve one's own political goals in the hope of later dealing with them or, in other words, liquidating them.
在这样的情况下,有人虚伪和不负责任地一面高声喊叫国际恐怖分子的威胁,与此同时,却对恐怖分子的资金来源和支持渠道——包括贩毒、非法贩卖石油与武器——闭眼装作看不到;或是企图操纵极端组织,拉拢他们干私活以达到自己的政治目的,与此同时,却寄希望于未来总会有对付他们的办法,说得简单点,就是消灭的意思。
To those who do so, I would like to say — dear sirs, no doubt you are dealing with rough and cruel people, but they're in no way primitive or silly. They are just as clever as you are, and you never know who is manipulating whom. And the recent data on arms transferred to this most moderate opposition is the best proof of it.
那些正在这样做和这样想的人,我想对你们说:先生们,你们正在与之打交道的那些人都非常残忍,但他们可不都是愚蠢的或头脑简单的,他们一点都不比你们傻,还不知道最后是谁利用了谁来达成自己的目的。而最近这次“理性反对派”把武器交给恐怖分子的事件,就是最好的证明。
We believe that any attempts to play games with terrorists, let alone to arm them, are not just short-sighted, but fire hazardous (ph). This may result in the global terrorist threat increasing dramatically and engulfing new regions, especially given that Islamic State camps train militants from many countries, including the European countries.
我们认为任何与恐怖分子的游戏,尤其是对他们进行武装,都不仅仅是短视的,而且和玩火一样危险。最终会导致全球恐怖威胁成长到极端危险的地步,蔓延到地球上新的地区。更别说在伊斯兰国的营地中,正在“锻炼”着包括欧洲国家在内的多国武装人员。
Unfortunately, dear colleagues, I have to put it frankly: Russia is not an exception. We cannot allow these criminals who already tasted blood to return back home and continue their evil doings. No one wants this to happen, does he?Russia has always been consistently fighting against terrorism in all its forms.
非常可惜的是,必须直接指出,尊敬的同僚们,俄罗斯在这里也不能置身事外。不能允许这些已经品尝过血腥味的杀人犯,在日后回到自己的故乡,然后继续进行自己的肮脏勾当。我们不想要这种结果。也没有人想要,不是吗?俄罗斯一直都坚定并持续地反对任何形式的恐怖主义。
 Today, we provide military and technical assistance both to Iraq and Syria and many other countries of the region who are fighting terrorist groups.
We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse to cooperate with the Syrian government and its armed forces, who are valiantly fighting terrorism face to face. We should finally acknowledge that no one but President Assad's armed forces and Kurdish militias are truly fighting the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations in Syria.
We know about all the problems and contradictions in the region, but we definitely have to consider the actual situation on the ground. 
我们今天向伊拉克和叙利亚,以及该地区其他与恐怖组织作斗争的国家提供军事技术设备援助。我们认为,拒绝与叙利亚当局和叙利亚政府军合作是个巨大的错误,正是他们在勇敢地与恐怖主义面对面作斗争。现在到了认清现实的时候了,除了阿萨德总统的政府军和叙利亚的库尔德民兵们,没有其他人在叙利亚真的和伊斯兰国以及其他恐怖分子战斗。我们知道当地所有的问题、所有的矛盾,但还是要立足于现实出发。
Dear colleagues, I must note that such an honest and frank approach of Russia has been recently used as a pretext to accuse it of its growing ambitions, as if those who say it have no ambitions at all.
However, it's not about Russia's ambitions, dear colleagues, but about the recognition of the fact that we can no longer tolerate the current state of affairs in the world. What we actually propose is to be guided by common values and common interests, rather than ambitions.
On the basis of international law, we must join efforts to address the problems that all of us are facing and create a genuinely broad international coalition against terrorism.
Similar to the anti-Hitler coalition, it could unite a broad range of forces that are resolutely resisting those who, just like the Nazis, sow evil and hatred of humankind. 
尊敬的同僚们!被迫指出的是,最近这段时间我们这些诚实并且直接的做法被某些人当做借口利用,为的是指责俄罗斯的野心在扩大。就好像说这些话的人一点野心都没有似的。但是问题不在于俄罗斯的野心,尊敬的同僚们,而是世界上形成的种种局面已经让人不能容忍了。
实际上我们提议不要被野心操控,而是要从建立在国际法基础上的共同价值观与共同利益出发,团结力量以应对我们面前的新问题,建立真正的、广泛的国际反恐联盟。就像当初的反希特勒同盟一样,它可以把各种不同的力量团结起来,并且准备好坚定地反击那些如同纳粹一样邪恶和反人类(的组织)。

And, naturally, the Muslim countries are to play a key role in the coalition, even more so because the Islamic State does not only pose a direct threat to them, but also desecrates one of the greatest world religions by its bloody crimes.
The ideologists  of militants make a mockery of Islam and pervert its true humanistic values. I would like to address Muslim spiritual leaders, as well. Your authority and your guidance are of great importance right now.
It is essential to prevent people recruited by militants from making hasty decisions and those who have already been deceived, and who, due to various circumstances found themselves among terrorists, need help in finding a way back to normal life, laying down arms, and putting an end to fratricide.
当然,同盟的核心成员应该是穆斯林国家。因为《伊斯兰国》不仅仅给他们带来直接的威胁,也用自己血腥的罪行给伟大的世界性宗教——伊斯兰教抹黑。武装分子们的意识形态是对伊斯兰教义的侮辱,扭曲了其真正的人道价值观。
现在想对穆斯林的精神领袖们说,你们的个人威望,你们的教导都非常重要。要把那些想去当武装分子的人拉回来,不能让他们去做没头脑的事情。对于那些已经被骗或是因为种种原因加入恐怖分子行列的人,要帮助他们找到回归正常生活的道路,放下武器,停止兄弟之间的血肉相残。

Russia will shortly convene, as the  current president of the Security Council, a ministerial meeting to carry out a comprehensive analysis of threats in the Middle East.
First of all, we propose discussing whether it is possible to agree on a resolution aimed at coordinating the actions of all the forces that confront the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations. Once again, this coordination should be based on the principles of the U.N. Charter.
We hope that the international community will be able to develop a comprehensive strategy of political stabilization, as well as social and economic recovery, of the Middle East.
作为安理会的轮值主席,俄罗斯很快会(提议)召开部长级会议,以对中东地区的危险进行综合性评估。首先要讨论,是否可能通过决议,协调各种力量,对抗“伊斯兰国”和其他恐怖组织。我重复一下,这样的协调必须建立在联合国宪章的原则上。
Then, dear friends, there would be no need for new refugee camps. Today, the flow of people who were forced to leave their homeland has literally engulfed first neighboring countries and then Europe itself. There were hundreds of thousands of them now, and there might be millions before long. In fact, it is a new great and tragic migration of peoples, and it is a harsh lesson for all of us, including Europe.
我们寄希望于国际社会,可以制定出让各方都接受的恢复中东政治稳定和社会经济秩序的方案。尊敬的朋友们,那时就不需要修建难民营了。那些被迫背井离乡的人们,最初是塞满了他们的邻国,之后又奔往欧洲,数量不是几十万人,而是几百万人。这实际上是新的悲惨的民族大迁徙,以及对我们,包括欧洲在内所有人的沉重的教育课。
I would like to stress refugees undoubtedly need our compassion and support. However, the — on the way to solve this problem at a fundamental level is to restore their statehood where it has been destroyed, to strengthen the government institutions where they still exist or are being reestablished, to provide comprehensive assistance of military, economic and material nature to countries in a difficult situation. And certainly, to those people who, despite all the ordeals, will not abandon their homes. Literally, any assistance to sovereign states can and must be offered rather than imposed exclusively and solely in accordance with the U.N. Charter.
In other words, everything in this field that has been done or will be done pursuant to the norms of international law must be supported by our organization. Everything that contravenes the U.N. Charter must be rejected. Above all, I believe it is of the utmost importance to help restore government's institutions in Libya, support the new government of Iraq and provide comprehensive assistance to the legitimate government of Syria.
我想强调的是:难民们,毫无疑问需要同情和帮助。但是想根本解决这个问题,只能在那些体制被摧毁的国家将其恢复,对那些还保存了国家机构的国家,帮助它们将其强化或是重建,要对他们提供全面的援助——军事的、经济的、物质的,帮助那些陷入困境的国家和经历磨难但是还留在故土的人们。
当然,任何对主权国家的帮助都可以乃至必须是非强迫性的,而是建议性的,并且只能建立在联合国宪章的基础上。所有在这一领域的行为都必须符合国际法,应该得到联合国的支持,而所有与联合国宪章矛盾的行为都应被否决。
我认为现在最重要的是帮助利比亚恢复国家组织,支持伊拉克的新政府,对叙利亚的合法政权进行全方位的支持。

Dear colleagues, ensuring peace and regional and global stability remains the key objective of the international community with the U.N. at its helm. We believe this means creating a space of equal and indivisible security, which is not for the select few but for everyone. Yet, it is a challenge and complicated and time-consuming task, but there is simply no other alternative. However, the bloc thinking of the times of the Cold War and the desire to explore new geopolitical areas is still present among some of our colleagues.

尊敬的同僚们,以联合国为首的国际社会还有一个关键性任务,就是保障和平,以及地区和全球的稳定。在我们看来,这应该是形成平等并且未被分割的安全区域,不是只有少数“被选者”获得安全,而是所有人。是的,这是复杂的、困难的、长期的工作,但是除此之外别无选择。
但非常可惜的是,冷战期间形成的阵营思维方式,以及部分同僚扩大自己政治版图的行为,还是占据了主导地位。
First, they continue their policy of expanding NATO. What for? If the Warsaw Bloc stopped its existence, the Soviet Union have collapsed and, nevertheless, the NATO continues expanding as well as its military infrastructure. Then they offered the poor Soviet countries a false choice: either to be with the West or with the East. Sooner or later, this logic of confrontation was bound to spark off a grave geopolitical crisis. This is exactly what happened in Ukraine, where the discontent of population with the current authorities was used and the military coup was orchestrated from outside — that triggered a civil war as a result.

首先,北约扩张这一路线在持续。这就要问问了:既然华约已经不存在,苏联也解体了,北约扩张的目的是什么?与此同时,北约不但继续存在,还不断扩张,就像其军事设施一样。
然后,在前苏联国家面前摆出来一道虚假的选择题:究竟是和西方站在一边还是和东方(俄罗斯)站在一边?这种挑衅性的逻辑肯定迟早会导致严重的地缘危机。最后在乌克兰确实发生了这种情况,利用大多数人民对当时政权的不满,从外部挑拨发动了武装政变,终于导致内战爆发。
We're confident that only through full and faithful implementation of the Minsk agreements of February 12th, 2015, can we put an end to the bloodshed and find a way out of the deadlock. Ukraine's territorial integrity cannot be ensured by threat of force and force of arms. What is needed is a genuine consideration for the interests and rights of the people in the Donbas region and respect for their choice. There is a need to coordinate with them as provided for by the Minsk agreements, the key elements of the country's political structure. These steps will guarantee that Ukraine will develop as a civilized society, as an essential link and building a common space of security and economic cooperation, both in Europe and in Eurasia.

我们坚信:停止流血冲突,找到离开死胡同的出口,只能是全面、真正执行今年2月12日签署的《明斯克协议》。依靠恐吓与武器的力量不能保障乌克兰的完整。必须这样做。需要真正考虑顿巴斯人民的利益和权力,尊重他们的选择,与他们协商,而这些在《明斯克协议》中都有体现,其中最关键的就是国家政治构建部分。这是乌克兰作为一个文明国度发展的基石,是建设共同安全空间的重要链接点,这样它才能作为经济合作的重要伙伴,同时与欧洲和欧亚联盟发展关系
Ladies and gentlemen, I have mentioned these common space of economic cooperation on purpose. Not long ago, it seemed that in the economic sphere, with its objective market loss, we would launch a leaf (ph) without dividing lines. We would build on transparent and jointly formulated rules, including the WTO principles, stipulating the freedom of trade, and investment and open competition.

女士们,先生们,我并非偶然提起共同的经济合作空间。不久前,人们还觉得,在经济领域有客观的市场法则,我们都学会不再使用隔离线,我们都会以透明的、共同制定的规则——包括关贸总协定的原则来行事,开展自由贸易和投资,公开竞争。
Nevertheless, today, unilateral sanctions circumventing the U.N. Charter have become commonplace, in addition to pursuing political objectives. The sanctions serve as a means of eliminating competitors.
I would like to point out another sign of a growing economic selfishness. Some countries [have] chosen to create closed economic associations, with the establishment being negotiated behind the scenes, in secret from those countries' own citizens, the general public, business community and from other countries.
Other states whose interests may be affected are not informed of anything, either. It seems that we are about to be faced with an accomplished fact that the rules of the game have been changed in favor of a narrow group of the privileged, with the WTO having no say. This could unbalance the trade system completely and disintegrate the global economic space.

但是,今天绕开联合国宪章的单方面制裁却几乎成了固定规则,而且不仅仅用来达成政治目的,还包括用来消灭市场上的竞争对手。
这里要指出另外一个“经济自私主义”的症状。一些国家走上了封闭性特殊经济联合体的道路,而且相关谈判是悄然进行的,瞒着本国的公民、商界与媒体,当然也瞒着其他国家。而那些相关利益会受影响的国家,却得不到任何通知。最可能是想让我们面对既成事实:规则改变了,而这种改变却只对少数的“被选者”有利。所有这些都是绕开关贸总协定在进行的,会带来贸易体系失衡的风险,导致全球经济空间的分裂。
These issues affect the interest of all states and influence the future of the world economy as a whole. That is why we propose discussing them within the U.N. WTO NGO (ph) '20.
Contrary to the policy of exclusiveness, Russia proposes harmonizing original economic projects. I refer to the so-called integration of integrations based on universal and transparent rules of international trade. As an example, I would like to cite our plans to interconnect the Eurasian economic union, and China's initiative of the Silk Road economic belt.
We still believe that harmonizing the integration processes within the Eurasian Economic Union and the European Union is highly promising.

这些让人关注的问题关系到所有国家的利益,所以建议在联合国、关贸总协定和G20的框架内进行讨论。俄罗斯在反对“独特性政策”的基础上,建议将各个区域经济项目和谐化,推动以国际贸易通用透明为原则的“融合之融合”。作为例子,可以举出俄罗斯推动的“欧亚经济联盟”与中国提出的“一带一路”计划相融合的办法。同时我们也看到欧亚经济联盟与欧盟的合作前景。
Ladies and gentlemen, the issues that affect the future of all people include the challenge of global climate change. It is in our interest to make the U.N. Climate Change Conference to be held in December in Paris a success.
As part of our national contribution, we plan to reduce by 2030 the greenhouse emissions to 70, 75 percent of the 1990 level.

女士们,先生们,在所有关系到整个人类未来的问题和挑战中,也包括全球气候变化。我们对12月将在巴黎召开的联合国气候大会取得成果寄予希望。在这方面,俄罗斯的贡献将是,截至2030年,把温室气体排放量减少到1990年代的70-75%。
I suggest, however, we should take a wider view on this issue. Yes, we might defuse the problem for a while, by setting quotas on harmful emissions or by taking other measures that are nothing but tactical. But we will not solve it that way. We need a completely different approach.
We have to focus on introducing fundamental and new technologies inspired by nature, which would not damage the environment, but would be in harmony with it. Also, that would allow us to restore the balance upset by biosphere and technosphere (ph) upset by human activities.
It is indeed a challenge of planetary scope, but I'm confident that humankind has intellectual potential to address it. We need to join our efforts. I refer, first of all, to the states that have a solid research basis and have made significant advances in fundamental science.
We propose convening a special forum under the U.N. auspices for a comprehensive consideration of the issues related to the depletion of natural resources, destruction of habitat and climate change.
Russia would be ready to co-sponsor such a forum.

但是,我们也建议用更加开阔的眼光看待这一问题。通过对有害气体排放制定配额,以及采取其他的战术性措施,我们会在某个期限内降低这一问题的尖锐性,但毫无疑问的是,无法彻底地解决它。我们需要本质性的新办法。这里谈的是全新的仿生态技术,这种技术不但不会破坏环境,还会与其和谐共处,让因人类活动而遭到破坏的生态圈与技术圈之间的平衡得到恢复。这确实是整个行星级别的挑战。我坚信,人类具备回应这一挑战的智慧潜能。
我们首先需要团结那些科研力量雄厚,有足够基础研究能力的国家。建议在联合国的穹顶下建立一个专门的论坛,用来系统地审视与自然资源消失、生存环境被破坏和气候变化有关的问题。俄罗斯已准备好成为论坛的组织者之一。
Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, it was on the 10th of January, 1946, in London that the U.N. General Assembly gathered for its first session.
Mr. Suleta (ph) (inaudible), a Colombian diplomat and the chairman of the Preparatory Commission, opened the session by giving, I believe, a concise definition of the basic principles that the U.N. should follow in its activities, which are free will, defiance of scheming and trickery and spirit of cooperation.

尊敬的女士们,先生们,同僚们。1946年1月10日,在伦敦召开了第一次联合国代表大会。当时,筹备委员会主席、哥伦比亚外交家Zuleta Ángel,提出了一个在我看来非常有内涵的原则,而联合国的行为也应该建立在其上,这就是“善意,鄙视阴谋和狡狯,合作精神”。
Today, his words sound as a guidance for all of us. Russia believes in the huge potential of the United Nations, which should help us avoid a new global confrontation and engage in strategic cooperation. Together with other countries, we will consistently work towards strengthening the central coordinating role of the U.N. I'm confident that by working together, we will make the world stable and safe, as well as provide conditions for the development of all states and nations.

今天这些话对我们来说仍旧极具意义。俄罗斯相信联合国具备巨大的潜能,而这种潜能将有助于避免新的全球对抗,转入战略性合作。与其他国家一道,我们将会坚定不移地巩固联合国居中协调的角色。
我坚信,在我们的共同努力下,将会让世界更加稳定和安全,让所有国家和民族都获得发展的机会。

停不了的战争

A 2002 picture of Khaled al-Asaad in front of a rare sarcophagus from Palmyra depicting two priests dating from the first century.

(叙利亚考古学家 Dr Khaled al-Assad)


2002年在埃及举行的一场各国外长会议中,当时的阿拉伯联盟秘书长Amr Moussa 向小布什提出警告,美国执意进军伊拉克,无疑要把中东拖入地狱的深渊里,而伊拉克和叙利亚,将会首当其冲,被战火所吞噬。

话说公元7世纪,伊斯兰政教合一的领导人穆罕默德去世,后人因为教义解释的不同,分成了「什叶派」和「逊尼派」。从此,这两个伊斯兰教派在阿拉伯半岛不断的相互杀戮,展开了长达千年的恩怨仇恨。

随着西方势力进入中东以及北非国家,逊尼派国家开始趋向於世俗化,以威权专制统治集团的阶级化,来取代宗教阶级制度,如沙地阿拉伯和利比亚。

叙利亚的穆斯林有74%为逊尼派,什叶派占13%,而政府则是由仅占6%的阿拉维派教徒(什叶派支派)的阿萨德家族来统治。
严重的贪腐、朋党和失业问题,导致叙利亚人民(大部分长期受压迫的逊尼派)对政府越加失望和不满。2011年3月,有年轻人在学校墙上写革命语句遭虐打并逮捕,接下来警察向暴乱的群众开枪,民众的抗议情绪,越发不可收拾。加上获得西方国家在政治、经济和军事上的支助,境内大大小小的反抗军,一呼百应,相继揭竿而起。

逊尼派的圣战基地(al-Qaeda)自愿军和什叶派的真主党武装分子也跟着加入混战,原本只是一场扳倒阿萨德家族的内战,竟然越打越乱,逐渐演变成在叙利亚的领土上,却由外人在打着莫名其妙的战争。

伊朗认为,透过叙利亚,它可以进入黎巴嫩帮忙真主党去攻击以色列,而阿萨德政权,也获得黎巴嫩什叶派真主党的支持。
至於反政府阵营的逊尼派,就有土耳其、沙地阿拉伯、卡达和其他波斯湾阿拉伯等国家,甚至美国、英国和法国,都成了赞助者。

至於西亚最古老民族之一的库尔德人(Kurds),聚居地库尔德斯坦(Kurdistan)横跨土耳其、叙利亚、伊朗、伊拉克,少数分布在黎巴嫩、阿塞拜疆(Azerbaijan)、亚美尼亚、俄罗斯山区、以色列等地。库尔德人一直以来,最大的愿望是建立一个独立的库尔德人国家,他们与所在国政府长期的斗争,不断的发生冲突。大多数库尔德人是逊尼派穆斯林。

伊斯兰国(ISIL)可以说是活跃在伊拉克和叙利亚的特殊产物,奉行极端恐怖主义,宣称对於全球穆斯林世界拥有统治地位。ISIL拥有大量美军和其他国家军队的武器;2003年,美国扳倒了萨达姆政权后,众多失业的军人均加入了ISIL。此外,还有许多来自海外的武装人员加入。无可否认,美国干预伊拉克和叙利亚的政局,直接促使伊斯兰国的迅速壮大。

2014年初,ISIL完成攻占伊拉克中北部,直往叙利亚挺进,还快速成为叙利亚境内反抗军最大势力,当初由美国资助叙利亚反抗军各阵营的军火,也大量流向了伊斯兰国。
原本是伊拉克当地恐怖组织al-Qaeda分支的伊斯兰国,现在已经成了控制叙利亚北部、东部,以及伊拉克的一股强大势力。

自2011年叙利亚内战爆发,至今丧生人数已高达20多万,叙利亚有超过400万人逃出家园,随着战争持续激烈化,难民的数字也会不断一直在增加。那些没能力逃出国的,只能在境内不断迁徙,据估计,在叙利亚约有760万人到处逃窜求生。
根据联合国的报告,4年的战事已经让叙利亚经济损失高达2千多亿美元,5个叙利亚人就有4个是穷人,当中30%的人是处在极度贫困的情况下;国家的医疗、教育和社会福利制度,已经是崩坏无存。

近日,建在北极Svalbard Islands 的种子地窖,首次被要求打开,取出先前存放在那里以备一时之需的种子。因为叙利亚最大的城市Aleppo 在战争中遭受严重破坏,连种子库都被烧掉了。 国际干旱地区农业研究中心(ICARDA)研究人员,日前已向挪威「斯瓦尔巴种子库」申请提取早前存放的种子。
原本设在Aleppo 的  ICARDA(Internationl Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas),当地的种子库存有小麦、大麦等许多适合干旱地区生长的植物种子,战争逼得ICARDA搬去黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特,那里的种子库只能勉强维持冷藏功能,没办法继续培育并提供种子。所以,中东研究人员得向所谓的「末日粮仓」要种子,以缓解叙利亚生态严重破坏问题。

挪威政府在距离北极点1000公里的斯瓦尔巴群岛,开鑿种子地窖,於2008年开始启用。目前约有1亿粒世界各地的农作物种子,被保存在零下18摄氏度的地窖中。据说这里存放的小麦、大麦和豌豆等种子,可持续保存长达1000年,而生存能力最强的高粱种子,大约能存放1.95万年。


“On Freedom's tree there rained a withering blight,
Glory to proud Palmyra sighed adieu,
And o'er her shrines Destruction's angel flew.”

 ( Nicholas Michell, 1807-1880)

在叙利亚沙漠上,位於大马士革的东北方,那里有一片绿洲——Palmyra(巴尔米拉),是古代最重要的文化中心,有沙漠珍珠之称。巴尔米拉是古时穿越丝绸之路商队的重要中转站,在公元前一世纪至公元三世纪的罗马帝国时期,最为兴盛,获联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。叙利亚内战爆发前,Palmyra是一个主要的旅游胜地。

2015年5月,极端组织伊斯兰国(ISIL),向拥有2000年历史的叙利亚古城巴尔米拉发动大规模攻势。基於巴米尔拉是人类文明发源地,联合国教科文组织总干事担心古城受破坏,造成重大人文损失,要求武装分子尽快停火和撤离。
疯狂的ISIL在巴尔米古城的巴尔夏明神庙(Baalshamin),埋下大量炸药,爆炸导致神庙被严重破坏,外围的圆柱也倒塌。

Baalshimin 最早建於公元17年,在公元130年罗马时期扩建,被认为是古城内最重要的遗址之一。位於古城博物馆外那头3米多高、有二千年历史的石狮子,也难逃厄运;武装分子还把古城的圆形剧场变成刑场、博物馆变成监狱。

就连一生致力研究巴尔米拉古城的著名叙利亚考古学家,82岁的Dr Khaled al-Assad,也被伊斯兰国斩首杀死了。年初,在伊拉克有二千年历史的古城哈特拉(al-Hadr)、有三千多年历史的亚述古城尼姆鲁德(Nimrud),都被妖魔ISIL给摧毁了,还大肆破坏摩苏尔(Mosul)的博物馆。伊斯兰国不仅杀人如麻,更以最残暴的方法,有系统的摧毁伊拉克和叙利亚的文物古迹,历史文化损失难以估计。

美国在中东伊斯兰世界打开了潘朵拉的盒子,引出了一众妖魔鬼怪,搞得天翻地覆,生灵涂炭,真系作孽咯!

战争贩子





1945年,第二次世界大战结束,胡志明宣布越南独立,法国还想再控制昔日的殖民地越南、老挝和柬埔寨,於是重新侵略这些印度支那国家。

1953年朝鲜停战,美国就把注意力转移到越南;1954年,中、美、英、法和印度支那三国,达成《日内瓦协议》,内容重点是,法国撤出越南,并承认越南、柬埔寨、老挝为独立国家。
法国撤出印支三国后,美国趁虚而入,漠视胡志明政府,反而在南方扶植了曾经投靠日寇和法国的傀儡政府,故意挑拨起越南的内战,并向南越提供军事援助,派遣顾问,在南越建立起拥有30万人的军队。

长达12年的南北越战争,美国向越南投下了800万吨炸药,造成160多万人死亡,以及整个印度支那1000多万难民流离失所。

一场越战,彪榜了美国的新殖民主义政策,那就是推行它们的“特种战争”。首先在经济上,利用傀儡政府去剥削人民,提供武器和金钱,派遣所谓的顾问,指挥傀儡政府的军队,去屠杀和镇压革命的人民,然后,美国打着“世界警察”的旗帜,派自己的军队参战,以达到殖民掠夺的目的。

从越南战争、阿富汗战争、伊拉克战争,世人可以清楚的看到,美国把灾难和冲突,留给每一个战场。美国实行的是利益导向的外交决策,而战争,就是一条可以实现美国利益成本最低的捷径。

根据美国德克萨斯大学、乔治布什政府与公共服务学院教授Christopher Layne所写的《The peace of Illusions: American Grand Strategy from 1940 to the Present》,指出美国在过去60多年中,整体上推行的是一种超地区霸权,或全球霸权战略。自20世纪40年代以来,美国大战略的扩张特征,至今也没有发生根本性的变化。而霸权所倚重的一个根本手段,当然就是军事行动。

Layne 更提到,其实美国外交政策的本质,是早已经“fixed,determined and pre-progammed ”。

所以勿论美国人民投票给那一个党,也不管是那一个人当上了美国总统,总统的外交政策,还是会被锁定在整个决策系统中,而决策者就是所谓的美国精英集团,以及背后的影子政府。美国为了建立本地区以外的霸权,就是要不停的参与战争。
美国的精英集团可以轻易控制媒体及舆论导向,煽动民众支持他们并不了解的战争。就好像9.11事件,即刻可以让全国人民疯狂支持政府出兵攻打阿富汗。(不过,现在许多美国人已经不相信9.11事件是一项恐怖袭击,认为这是政府自编自导自演的大骗局、大阴谋,目的就是要侵占中东国家,以期实现它的大中东计划。)

海湾战争后,美国政府对伊拉克实施经济制裁,又将伊拉克领空划分禁航区,长期轰炸伊拉克,造成无数人民伤亡。小布什更指伊拉克是「邪恶轴心国」(Axis of Evil),就算联合国还未同意,美国还是以「伊拉克拥有杀伤性武器」的幌子,联合英国以及澳洲和波兰,二话不说,就去攻打伊拉克,誓必铲除由美国扶持的萨达姆政权。

接下来,美国带领它的北约盟友,把中东战场继续移到了利比亚,介入利比亚内战,终结了强人卡扎菲政权。
一直以来,美国要发动一场战争,必带上它的盟友一起参战,这就是所谓的盟国一致原则。1991年打海湾战争,美国带了40多个国家,打阿富汗最厉害,有160个国家加入。

1999年,有19个北约成员国,跟随美国加入一场藉由科素沃民族矛盾直接引发的科索沃战争。其中13国直接上战场,其他6国则担任提供后勤工作支援前线。从1999年3月24日至6月10日,78天之内,北约国家在科索沃境内投弹13000吨,使用了大量杀伤性能极强的新式武器,连续轰炸造成1800多名平民丧生,6000多人受伤,百万人沦为难民。

美国本来打算又用化武藉口来打叙利亚,被俄罗斯强硬拦阻了。美国一直寻找机会,借助ISIS,终於找到了一个以反恐为藉口让它去打叙利亚。美国拼命空袭叙利亚国内的所谓ISIS恐怖分子,造成大量平民伤亡。而美国政府,却曾经提供武器装备给ISIS,派教官去训练ISIS武装分子。

按照美国的大中东计划,第一是解决掉伊拉克,接下来是伊朗,跟着就可以把沙特阿拉伯搞定,整个中东就可以完全归属在美国旗下了。岂知中东有个令美国非常头痛的死硬派——伊朗,就是对美国绝不屈服,美国也还没办法在伊朗国内搞分裂,逮不到藉口出兵。美国民主党的希拉里也抓狂说,如牠当上总统,必定攻打伊朗。
