【美国记者伏尔切克在土耳其突然死亡 曾来港采访遭“示威者”嘲笑】
土耳其当局正在调查美国作家和记者伏尔切克(Andre Vltchek)的死亡事件，该作家和记
者在一夜之间从土耳其黑海沿海城市桑姆森前往伊斯坦布尔旅行时死亡 。
土耳其国营新闻社报道，57岁的伏尔切克和他的妻子正乘坐一辆租来的司机汽车旅行，并
于周二凌晨5:30抵达他们在伊斯坦布尔的酒店前。
据阿纳多卢机构报道，他的妻子试图叫醒他，告诉他已经到了，但不能叫醒他。 该机构
说，医疗队赶到现场宣布他已经死亡。 伊斯坦布尔首席检察官办公室立即对死亡进行了
调查，同时将他的尸体带到法医机构进行检查。
DHA新闻社说，警方将他的案件记录为“可疑死亡”。 伏尔切克在自己的网站上称自己是
小说家，哲学家，电影制片人和调查记者，以及“反对西方帝国主义和强加于世界的西方
政权的革命，国际主义者和环球旅行者”。 根据他的网站，他报导了数十个战区和冲突
，包括伊拉克，斯里兰卡，波斯尼亚，卢旺达和叙利亚。 伏尔切克与语言学家和学者乔
姆斯基合著了许多著作，包括《论西方恐怖主义：从广岛到无人机战争》。
伏尔切克去年曾去了香港，并将他的所见所想写成了一篇报道，名叫《我从没见过这么分
化的地方》。
文章开篇写道：简直不可思议!西方帝国不断地试图毁掉挡住自己路的国家。在这个过程
中，它竟没有遇到任何抵抗!
伏尔切克在文中说，他走遍了地球的各个角落，发现所有的血腥冲突都是美国、英国或者
法国煽动的。
不过，他要讲的不仅是那些令很多人失去生命，毁了一个个村庄、城市、国家的血腥冲突
。他更想说的是，在电视屏幕、报纸和互联网上，这些反人类的罪行不是被刻意遗漏，就
是被歪曲报道。以至于，世界各地的读者和观众竟对自己和他人的苦难几乎一无所知。
他举例说，在2015年和2019年，他两次坐下来与香港的“示威者”沟通，但两次都让他惊
掉下巴。他回忆说，他们啥都不知道，对西方在阿富汗、叙利亚或者利比亚的罪行一无所
知。
当他告诉香港“示威者”美国推翻了多少个拉美国家政权时，被他们嘲笑为疯子：他们竟
然不知道所谓的“善良”、“温柔”、“民主”的西方其实杀害了几百万人，吮吸整个拉
美大陆人的鲜血。然而，他们的学校不会教他们这些，BBC、CNN这些媒体都不会报道这些
。
他说，他很认真地向香港“示威者”展示了自己在阿富汗、叙利亚拍摄的照片，他们肯定
知道这些照片都是真实的一手资料。然而，他们却一脸漠然，好像脑子里无法处理这些信
息。
伏尔切克指出，香港社会的撕裂程度令人匪夷所思。那些认为互联网有助于改善香港局势
的人严重错判了形势。正因为缺乏正确的信息，香港社会的团结因素已消失。
伏尔切克说，不仅仅是香港，现在全世界，尤其是中东、拉美等地区都面临这一情况。然
而，一个残酷的事实是，黎巴嫩的人根本不知道香港发生了什么，香港人也不清楚黎巴嫩
的动乱是因何而起，因为西方宣传机器的报道已经模式化。
他举例说，比如在香港，暴徒被包装成“亲民主的‘示威者’”。这些杀人、放火、打人
的暴徒成了西方宣传机器眼里的香饽饽。为什么?除了因为他们可以惹怒美国的最大对手
——中国，此外，也因为他们是西方亲手创造和资助的工具。（记者张明编译）

A letter to the young people of Hong Kong
Friday, January 03, 2020, 09:14
By Andre Vltchek
Now that your city has been in flames for more than six months, your families
divided, and no end to the violence is in sight, I have decided to write this
short essay, in the form of an open letter, to the young people of Hong Kong.
First of all, I want to ask: Why?
Why all this smoke and fire, anger and violence? Were your lives, before the
so-called “protests”, or “riots”, really so dismal?
You have been living in one of the richest cities on Earth. Even according to
Western evaluations, Hong Kong has one of the highest “freedom indexes”,
higher than that of most of Western countries.
Water that comes from your taps is clean, the internet is extremely fast, and
public transportation is cheap and one of the best in the world. You can
enjoy an exciting cultural life, as well as great public spaces constructed
along your impressive coasts.
Naturally, Hong Kong is not a perfect place, as there are no perfect places
on this planet.
Your housing is some of the most expensive in the world. Job opportunities
for college graduates are not really excellent. Some cities on the Chinese
mainland are now more exciting places to live, to create, and to dream than “
good old” Hong Kong. But still, it is a fascinating, solid city, with its
own culture, mindset and complex history. And in many ways, it is a beautiful
city; beautiful and unique.
So, why? What happened? Why suddenly such anger, and such frustration?
Should we talk? Please let’s.
When waving the UK flags, nostalgically recalling your British masters and
their rule over Hong Kong, do you even think about some of the most monstrous
crimes committed in the history of humankind?
I have worked in around 160 countries and territories, on all continents. I
have written about and filmed many wars and conflicts. I have been covering
revolutions and rebellions, but also terrible riots ignited by Western
countries. You probably have heard about the so-called “color revolutions”,
or the “Arab Spring”.
I have witnessed, first hand, the fate of countries that have been occupied
and then thoroughly destroyed by the United States and North Atlantic Treaty
Organization: Afghanistan and Syria, Iraq and Colombia, to name just a few. I
have seen millions of ruined lives in nations where the West overthrew
left-wing governments, and then injected fascism: places like Indonesia
(1965), and Chile (1973). Now there is nothing left of Indonesia; its nature
is thoroughly ruined and the great majority lives in misery. In Chile, people
have stood up, and are proudly fighting and dying for socialism which was
stolen from them by Western governments and corporations.
I have lived and worked all over the African continent, the most devastated
part of the world, colonized and terrorized first by Europe, and later by the
US, for many centuries.
In Hong Kong, I see you waving flags of the US. You want that country to “
save you from China” — from your own nation, in essence. I have read a
translation of your school curriculum. It smears China, and it glorifies the
West. Were you told, ever, that in the name of that flag, consisting of the
stars and stripes, tens of millions of people, worldwide, were murdered,
democracies raped, and freedom of expression horrendously oppressed? Or are
you reading only what is brought to you by Reuters and other Western press
agencies?
When waving the UK flags, nostalgically recalling your British masters and
their rule over Hong Kong, do you even think about some of the most monstrous
crimes committed in the history of humankind? On all continents of the world,
the British Empire murdered, humiliated, violated and plundered hundreds of
millions of people. Human beings were reduced to slaves. Their lives,
identities were reduced to nothing.
Were you told this? Do you realize it? When you wave these flags, when your
leaders are taking bribes from the US and the EU establishment, do you ever
think what kind of money you are touching? Do you ever consider that this
money is soaked in blood?
I saw several of you demanding “independence from China”. I even witnessed
some of you calling China a “terrorist” state.
Have you ever, seriously, compared the Chinese political system to that
so-called “democracy” of the West?
Let me give you a simple quiz: In the last decades, how many countries have
been attacked by China, and how many by the West? Just do a simple
calculation, please. It is so simple; so clear. How many countries have been
bombed to the ground, and thoroughly ruined by China, and how many by the
West?
And democracy? In China, the government listens to its people. In reality,
democracy means nothing more than the direct translation from Greek — rule
of the people. In the People’s Republic of China, the government is working
to improve the lives of its citizens, while building a global infrastructure
for all (the Belt and Road Initiative). Now, look at the West: Most of the
citizens in North America and Europe hate their system, but cannot get rid of
it. Some of you regularly travel to the West: Don’t you hear what the people
are saying there?
In the last two decades, China has lifted up hundreds of millions out of
poverty. In the West, the governments have buried billions of people in
misery in all their colonies. Despite of the terrible plunder of the world,
tens of millions are destitute at home, in both North America and Europe.
Despite of the not-too-high GDP per capita, China has almost no misery, while
tens of millions of the US citizens are living in poverty. There are many
more prisoners (per capita) in the US prisons, than in the Chinese ones.
Many US prisons are now privatized: It is a big business. The more that are
held behind bars, the bigger the profit!
Is this a system in which you’d want to live? Is it, really?
I know the West very well. And I know China. These days, in Hong Kong, some
of you are waving Western flags, while insulting Beijing.
The West has the most powerful propaganda on Earth. It has the ability to
twist everything, to call black white, and vice versa.
But frankly, it is Beijing that has the ability and desire to help solve the
problems of Hong Kong.
Do you really think that Washington, London or Berlin are genuinely
interested in helping your city? I am convinced that they only want to break
China, and to continue ruling over the world.
To conclude this letter, let me say what has to be said. After speaking to
people that are now angrily waving black banners, as well as US and UK flags,
I realized that they know very little about the state of the world. And, they
do not want to listen to different points of view. When confronted
intellectually, they become violent.
That is not a democratic approach; not at all.
I suggest we talk. Publicly. Let us debate the very definitions of democracy.
Let us discuss who has done more harm to the world: China or the West? I am
ready, anytime.
If the leaders of Hong Kong riots, or “protests”, are confident that they
are correct, let us face each other, in front of microphones and cameras.
I love your city. I love Hong Kong. I love China. And I strongly believe that
China and Hong Kong are one beautiful, inseparable entity.
I am ready to give my best proving that point.

言者谆谆，听者藐藐。即使伏尔切克提出第一手的证据、照片等，依然无法改变
一般人被西方世界洗脑后的刻板印象。
