“李南央状告海关案”跟进报道(一百零六)
——梦醒美国
前不久，奥巴马在 CBS 早间节目接受采访时说:
我夜不能寐，原因是现在媒体分裂，发出不同的声音，导致社会群体认知分裂。我当总统那 会儿，只有三家电视台，人们对什么是真的，什么是假的;实际发生的是怎么回事，不是怎么回事的看法非常接近。而现在，人们好像生活在不同的现实中。
显然，奥巴马认为“只有一个声音”的社会才是正常的，现在的主流媒体虽然同气相求，但 是还有个别不识相的媒体在那里“自说自话”，这种现象是万万不能接受的。他敢于公然如此地 说，是因为坐在他对面的那位 CBS 主播点头连连，CBS 的受众也会认同他的“高见”。奥巴马的 温水煮青蛙，已然让“社会主义好”的“甘饴”浸透了美国社会。
父亲的《李锐口述往事》是在 2013 年 10 月 29 日被北京机场海关扣下来的。我诉海关的案子翌年 6 月被北京第三中级法院正式受理，时至今日仍在“延审”之中。李锐致死都是中共党员，党还在他的遗体上盖了那面染满人血的党旗。可是为什么“自己人”——李锐，他的一本追忆跟随党的一生的“口述”却被认定为违禁书，而不是一本红书呢?道理很简单，李锐记述的党内经历，他接触过的毛泽东、高岗、陈云、胡耀邦、赵紫阳、江泽民、李鹏、习近平......的形象，跟 党的笔杆子描述的太不一致。李锐的话会引起老百姓认知的歧义，导致社会的分裂，那还得了! 不许入境是绝对的，必需的!
所以我说奥巴马的言论同中国共产党的道理同出一辙。他非常期盼自己能像他所喜爱的毛泽 东一样被尊崇为伟人，他非常期盼民主党能像中国共产党那样永远地掌握政权。因此，控制住话语权自然是重中之重，民主党的大佬怎么说，媒体就应该怎么说;民主党的大佬对某一件事怎么 看，老百姓就必须怎么看。可是美国人民还会有自由吗?
Oath Keepers 的创始人 Stewart Rhodes 本月以“煽动阴谋罪”判刑 18 年，法官宣判时斥责了他的犯罪动机:“不喜欢新上来的那个家伙(按:新总统拜登)。”当年刘晓波被中共定下的罪 行之一是“对政府不满”，获判刑期 11 年。罪名类同，Stewart 比晓波判得重。如此下去，被判 “煽颠罪”的恐怕不会是数百或上千人了，或许我这个没有坐过共产党大牢的人，也会在某一天 尝到美国监狱的滋味。
美国人醒醒吧!趁着还不晚。当钟摆摆到中国那样的极致时，再要回来，就是千百万人头落地的代价了!
Follow-up report on "Li Nanyang sued the Customs" (106)
——Wake up America
Asked what keeps him awake at night in an interview with CBS News this week, the former president said “the degree to which we now have a divided conversation, in part because we have a divided media, a splintered media.” He noted, “When I was coming up, you had three TV stations ... and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn’t, what was real and what was not.” Now, “we almost occupy different realities.”
Obviously, Obama believes that a society should have “one voice only”, it is a normal one. Now, even though mainstream media are just copying what Democrats voicing, fewer ignorant media are still talking about what they believe, which absolutely is unacceptable. Obama dared to say so, because that the CBS anchor facing him was nodding vigorously and of course the CBS audiences would admire his “brilliant” opinion as well. Obama has been boiling the frog in mild water for so long, “socialism is good” sirup has soaked in the body of American society.
My father’s Li Rui Oral History was confiscated by the customs of Beijing airport on Oct. 29, 2013. The Third Intermedia Court, Beijing accepted my lawsuit against the customs in June next year. The lawsuit has been continuing forever. Li Rui was a member of the CCP till his death, the party covered his remains with party’s flag that is soaked in human blood. But why party man Li Rui’s memoir which recalled his whole life following the CCP, be defined as a banned book rather than a Red Book? It is quite simple, because under Li Rui’s pen, what is true is not true by party’s pen. Those party leaders, Mao Zedong, Gao Gang, Chen Yun, Hu Yaobang, Zhao Ziyang, Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Xi Jiping ... whose images Li Rui drafted, do not match what party has painted. Li Rui’s writing will divide conversation and cost a splintered society; the consequence would be horrible. Li Rui’s book must be banned and forbidden to enter the border of P. R. China.
So, I say, what Obama said to CBS is the same thought of the CCP. Obama wishes he would be respected as Mao Zedong whom he is so fond of. He hopes the Democrat holds the power as the CCP does perpetually. For the sake of that, he believes that controlling the right to speak is number one among those important issues. What is true bigwig of the democratic party say, all the media must echo; what is real bigwig of democratic party say, Americans must agree. But is there freedom for Americans?
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced 18 years after “Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy conviction”. U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta addressed Rhodes directly: “what was the motive? You didn’t like the new guy," noting that "just because someone supported the former president doesn’t mean they’re a White nationalist." What Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo was convicted? “He was dissatisfied with the government.” He was sentenced to 11 years. The similar charge, but Stewart was treated worse than Xiaobo. Should it go on like this, there will be not only hundreds or thousands of people convicted as “incitement”, the people like me who never tasted life in CCP’s prison, someday might learn about life in an American cell.
Wake up Americans as it is not too late now! As the pendulum swings to its extreme end as it is in China, to make it swing back, the price might be millions of lives.
