Yeyona ndawo iphambili yamandla aseMelika, amaxabiso osapho lakwaBush. Kwiminyaka engamakhulu amabini, isiko lokuqalisa kokakayi kunye namathambo lalimise isimilo samadoda abumbe umlinganiswa waseMelika, kubandakanya oMongameli ababini ogama linguBush.
Kwaye ngoMgqibelo ophelileyo, nge-14 ka-Epreli-okokuqala ngqa-loo mfihlelo-imfihlelo inde yangqinwa liqela labangaphandle, kubandakanya nalo mbhali.
Sebenzisa izixhobo zobuchwephesha bobuchwephesha bobuchwephesha obuphezulu obunokwazi ukubona ngaphaya kobumnyama kwigceke elingaphakathi leKhakhayi kunye neTyhuna laMangcwaba eNew Haven, Iqela le-Braganca lingqina:
· Impembelelo kaGeorge W.: enxilile kukusondela okuhlaziyiweyo kumandla kaMongameli, uBonesman onxibe iimpahla ezithi nguGeorge W. harangued abakhwetha kwiteki yaseTexas e-eerily: Ndiza kukuphinda ndikuthande njengo-Al Gore kwaye ndiza kukubulala. ngokungathi ndibulele u-Al Gore.
Amalungu oKakayi aBalulekileyo kunye naMathambo ahlekise ngohlaselo luka-Abner Louima ngokudanduluka ngokuphindaphindiweyo, Khupha laa mpompo yam e-esileni lam!
Amalungu oKhakhayi namathambo aphosa izithuko ezingamanyala (khotha ibumhole lam) kubakhwetha njengoko babenyanzelwa ukuba baguqe ngamadolo baze baphuze ukakayi ezinyaweni zabakhwetha.
Amanye amalungu adlale itafile yokubulala abantu ngenjongo yokunqumla umqala.
Kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba le ayisiyonto yolwaluko. Sisiko lolwaluko oluyimfihlelo ngakumbi – kwaye olubaluleke ngakumbi, ngokubhekiselele kumandla okwenyani eUnited States- kunalawo eCosa Nostra. Ukuba aMatyholwana yi-WASP Corleones – njengoko u-Maureen Dowd ecaphukisa kakhulu ecebisile-nantsi indlela eyenziwe ngayo amadoda (nabafazi). * Ngumsitho wolwaluko odibanise oonozakuzaku, oonondaba, oonobhanki kunye neentlola ubomi bonke, ubudlelwane bezizwe ngezizwe obunempembelelo ngakumbi kunalo naliphi na ulwalamano. Kwakukho – kwaye kusahleli-intliziyo yentliziyo yeziko laseMelika.
Ezinye izityhilelo ezenziwa liCandelo loPhando lwaMathambo zibandakanya:
· Amagama aya kwimfihlelo yoKakayi kunye neTye yokufa.
Iikopi zerhafu yoKakayi kunye neethambo ezibuyiswa kwirhafu, ezifunyenwe kwizicelo zoMthetho weNkululeko yoLwazi, ziphakamisa imibuzo malunga nokunyaniseka kwebango loluntu oluyimfihlo lokuba nenqanaba lokuxhuzulwa irhafu-ngakumbi kufanelekileyo kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukugxekwa kutsha kwesicwangciso serhafu sikaBush sokwenza ukuthanda kwabo banelungelo zimbalwa.
Inkcazo enokwenzeka yavela ngexesha lomsitho wokwaluka kwisigqibo sikaGeorge W. sokungenela uMongameli kwasekuqaleni.
‘UMtyholi Ulingana Nokufa’
I-Braganca Mission engenakwenzeka ihambo lwaqala kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ngomnxeba osuka kuPeggy Adler, iqabane lophando kwicandelo lam langaphambili loKhakhayi namathambo kwiThe Braganca (Julayi 17, 2000). Ungumphenyi weedemon kunye nomsebenzi owayesakuba yikomiti echasene ne-Iran, owathi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, iibhodi ezihambelana nomnqamlezo ukuba ziqhekeze ikhowudi ye-RTA, umdlalo weqokobhe lomdibaniso apho iqokobhe lenkampani yoKhakhayi kunye namathambo oluntu, iRussell Trust Association, ukhusele umzila wamaphepha ekuboneni amehlo ngokutshintsha igama lawo libe yi-RTA Inc.
UNkosazana Adler uthe wayecelwe lilungu lase Yale elalifuna ukwabelana nathi ngoqhankqalazo olumangalisayo: Wayefumene indlela kunyaka ophelileyo, ngo-Epreli ka-2000, wokumamela itheyiphu yoKhakhayi namathambo. Kwaye wayefuna ukwazi ukuba singanomdla kwilinge lokuyikhuphela ngevidiyo ngeli xesha.
Kwaye ke ngenye imva kwemini kuDisemba ophelileyo, kwakamsinya emva kokuba uloyiso lonyulo lwaseBush luqinisekisiwe, ndadibana nalaa mntu owayengoyiki; ukhuphe i-laptop yakhe kwaye makhe ndimamele izandi zomsitho ebekucingelwa ukuba uza kuqikelela malunga neenkulungwane ezimbini ngoku.
Ewe kunjalo, kukho okungakumbi kuKhakhayi kunye naMathambo kunaye kwi-mumbo-jumbo eyimfihlakalo yesiko layo. Izithethe azibalulekanga kangako kunolwalamano – iibhondi zamandla kunye nefuthe elikhula phakathi koKhakhayi namathambo abakhwetha emva kokuba begqibile. Kodwa ubudlelwane buqala ngokwenziwa ngamasiko kunye nenyani yokuba abasunguli beXesha Inc. kunye ne-CIA, kunye nooNobhala abaliqela bakaRhulumente kunye nabacebisi boKhuseleko kuZwelonke- amadoda enza isigqibo sokulahla ibhombu yaseHiroshima, ahlasela iBay of Iihagu zisifaka eVietnam, i-Tafts, i-Bundys, i-Buckleys, i-Harrimans, i-Lovetts-bonke bathathe inxaxheba kweli siko lokwaluka banokuba nento yokwenza negunya lehlabathi lokwenyani lale minyhadala. Ukuqonda okungathethwayo, inqanaba lokuthuthuzela kunye nokufihlakeleyo, ukunqwala kunye ne-winks apho kusetyenziswa khona amandla.
Umsitho wolwaluko uqala inkqubo yokunyanzela abakhethiweyo be-elite (i-15 nje kwi-1,300 kwiklasi nganye ye-Yale) umbono ofihlakeleyo wobufundisi owavumela inethiwekhi yaseBritane ye-Old Boy ukuba ilawule ubukhosi behlabathi.
Yonke le nto ayifane ijongwe ngaphaya kwendlela yokubambisa engaqhelekanga (nangona u-Evan Thomas kunye noWalter Isaacson bethetha ngewebhu ye-Bones yomhlaba wonke ye-mandarins yomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle Kwizilumko. Kodwa yinto endiyiphandayo kwaye iqhubeke ikota yenkulungwane ngoku. NdinguAhabhi woKakayi kunye naMathambo, ndileqa umnenga omhlophe (okanye indoda emhlophe) ileviathan ukuya kwezona nzulu. Njengesidanga sokuqala eYale ndandihlala kufutshane noKhakhayi namathambo, kwaye emva phaya ngo-1977 ndashicilela uphando lomntu wokuqala wangaphandle kuKhakhayi kunye ne Amathambo, amasiko alo kunye nefuthe lawo kwinkcubeko yezopolitiko zaseMelika (inguqulelo ehlaziyiweyo yelo qhekeza, ihlaziyiwe Ndibandakanya ukutshintshiselana kwam kubanda kunye noGeorge noBarbara Bush kuMkhosi weSibini weeMoya, kunokufumaneka kwingqokelela yam yamva nje engacacanga, Iinxalenye eziyimfihlo zeThamsanqa)
Kwaye ke kwakubalulekile kum ukuba ndive izandi zoKhakhayi kunye nokuQalwa kwamathambo kule laptop. Kodwa ekuyiphulaphuleni, uloyiko lwangena endaweni yomxube wokudideka kunye neentloni- kunye nokufuna ukwazi okungakumbi, okungonelisekanga.
Ngenxalenye yayiyinto yokuba isiko laviwa kodwa alibonwa. Umthombo wam waseYale ufumene ipherki ebingasetyenziswanga ngaphambili apho bekunokurekhodwa khona izandi zeminyhadala, kodwa banokuzibona ngokungaphelelanga. Uxele umntu ogqoke njengoMtyholi, omnye enxibe iimpahla ezinamathambo kunye nabanye ngeengubo. Into endimeleyo, ukuyimamela, yile nto bendiyicinga njengemantra yokufa.
Ewe, imantra yokufa – nantso ke, yimigca emithathu yoKakayi kunye namathambo umxholo wokulungiselela obophe abaMongameli abathathu (kubandakanya lo ukhoyo) kuluntu lwabo olufihlakeleyo:
‘UMNTU OHENGELWAYO UFANANA NOKUFA!
UMtyholi Uyalingana Nokusweleka!
UKUFA KULINGANA NOKUFA! ’
Uninzi lwentelekelelo yokuqikelela malunga neKhakhayi kunye neBones isithethe ijolise kulungiso lokufa kwayo. Ngaphandle kwento ebonakala ngathi yeyokhakhayi kunye ne-crossbones insignia, ewe, elona bali liqhubekayo kukuba abakhwetha bachitha unyaka wabo omkhulu kwigumbi elingaphantsi le-Bones Tomb betshintshana belele ebhokisini kwaye, kubini, ixesha elide, elinamandla, idrama yengqondo Iiseshoni kwiibhokisi ezikhankanyiweyo, babalisa imbali yabo kunye neyesondo kwabanye abali-14 abakhethiweyo. Kungcono ukubopha ubomi kunye nabo babazi ngcono kwaye balungiselele ikamva labo njengamagosa odidi olulawulayo.
Imifanekiso ejolise ekufeni, umyalelo wokuba bafe kwilizwe elingaqhelekanga kwaye bazalwe ngokutsha kwinkampani ye-Elysian yabonyuliweyo boMyalelo, njengoko beyibiza njalo, yiyo le nto yenza Ukhakhayi namathambo ahluke ngokupheleleyo kubuzaza bekholeji nanjengoko usapho lakwaGambino lusuka kwiklabhu yokuzingela nokuloba eyayiyikomkhulu labo.
Umntu oxhonywayo ulingana nokufa. UMtyholi ulingana nokufa. Ukufa kulingana nokufa….
Kwenzeka ntoni esihogweni apho? Ngaba iphazili inengqondo, njengawo Onke amadoda ayafa. USocrates uyafa…? Ngaba iyasombulula ukuba umntu oxhonywayo ulingana nomtyholi?
Ngaba umntu unokufumana umxholo wokohlwaya inkunzi apha – oxhonyiweyo njengomphumezi echaza inqanaba lokuphunyezwa kuka-George W. njenge rhuluneli yase Texas? UGeorge W. ulingana nokufa, usenokuthi.
Uthini ke ngomtyholi? (Kulungile, lo mzobo unxibe njengoMtyholi.) Ngaba yile mfihlelo bebekhe bayifihla ukusukela oko uluntu lwasekwayo ngo-1832, igatya lombutho ofihlakeleyo waseJamani: unqulo lukaMtyholi? Ukufezekiswa kweengcinga eziqinisekileyo zelungelo elisisiseko, abakholelwa ukuba indawo yaseMpuma yindawo ephambili yelenqe likaSathana.
Ngokuqinisekileyo akunjalo, kodwa oko kwandenza ndanomdla ngakumbi wokuthatha inxaxheba kukhuphiswano lwalo nyaka: inzame yokuyibona nokuyiva, ukuyifota yonke kwividiyo- ngeenjongo zemfundo, ezembali kunye nezobuntatheli ukubhala uxwebhu oluchazayo indlela yaseMelika iklasi elawulayo.
Owu, ewe – ngaphambi kokuba sifike kwividiyo-yombono ebusuku, bekukho enye into, icandelo elihlazo le-audiotape, icandelo le-OOGA-BOOGA. Inxalenye yomsitho kwiteyiphu ibandakanya inkosi yolwaluko eyalela ii-neophytes ukuba zilande amathambo kwaye zivakalise (ndiyaqikelela) inkohliso yomdlalo bhanyabhanya waseTarzan OOGA BOOGA. Yandishiya ndiziva ndineentloni ngoKhakhayi kunye nethambo. Kunzima ukuphinda uthabathe nzulu nabani na ocacisa umzuzu wobomi bakhe kubandakanya i-OOGA BOOGA.
Kodwa kwavela, i-OOGA BOOGA yayingabonakali kumsitho walo nyaka, ngokokwazi kwethu ukuxelela. Mhlawumbi yayiyimpucuko, njengalo mzekelo wokulingiswa kukaGeorge W. (ndiza kuphinda ndikubize ngokungathi ndibize igama elithi Al Gore).
I-Braganca Mission Impossible Force yadibana ukwenza iyelenqe leyure ngaphambi kokutshona kwelanga kubusuku bolwaluko, ngoMgqibelo, ngo-Epreli 12. Ayaziwa ngokubanzi, kodwa iTap Night, eyenzeka ngoLwesine, ayifani ngokufanayo nobusuku besiko lokwaluka. Izinto ezintle zenzeka ngobusuku bangoMgqibelo, kwaye sele sele behamba ngezitrato ezithuleyo ezinqumla ikhampasi yaseYale, bethumela abakhwetha bolunye uluntu oluyimfihlo kwimikhuba yabo. Amathambo abakhwetha beza ngeenyawo, bankqonkqoze kumnyango omkhulu okhuni kathathu weTomb kwaye bahanjiswa kwinqanaba lokuqala lesiko. Kodwa siza ngaphambili.
Makhe ndikhankanye indlela endawathanda ngayo amalungu angamaYale angoyikiyo eQela loMsebenzi wamathambo ngokubonisa uhlobo lokufuna ukwazi, inyathelo kunye nokukhohlisa, impembelelo yokuthandabuza ekubonakala ngathi ayikho kwiikhampasi ezininzi ze-Ivy, ukuba uyakholelwa kuDavid Brooks ibali lakutshanje leNyanga yeAtlantic kwi hamba-hamba-kunye noochwephesha ngaphambi kwexesha. Abafana kwiqela lam baya kwenza igalelo lokwenyani kunalo naluphi na uhlobo loluntu olufihlakeleyo.
Okokuqala kwi-ajenda yayikukuhlolwa okukhawulezayo kweefowuni zerhafu yengeniso, eyayifunyenwe ngumcebisi wangaphandle kwiqela ngokucela koMthetho weNkululeko yoLwazi. Yena noPeggy Adler bandikhombise amabango angathandabuzekiyo kwiFomu 990's (Return of Organisation Exempt from Income Tax), eyathi yathandabuza ezinye zezizathu zokuxolelwa kwesisa. Ngokukodwa, bekukho ibango kwi-1997 RTA Incorporate filing (Icandelo VI, umgca 80b) ukuba lo mbutho awunxulumene… ngobulungu obuqhelekileyo, amabhunga olawulo, abaphathiswa, amagosa njl.
Ukuphikisa oko kubango lulwazi ngokugcwaliswa kweDeer Island Club Corporation. Isiqithi saseDeer sisiqithi sabucala soMbutho woKakayi kunye naMathambo, emi kuMlambo iSt. Lawrence. Yindawo apho amalungu eBones azisa iintsapho zawo kwiindibano zasehlotyeni. Iphethwe ngokupheleleyo kwaye iqhutywa ngamalungu oKhakhayi namathambo, ngokucacileyo ephikisana nebango likaBones lokungabikho kolwalamano nomnye umbutho oxolelweyo, kwaye kubonakala ngathi iyaphikisana nemishini engqongqo yemfundo kunye nesisa apho i-RTA ifumana ukukhululwa kwayo kuKhakhayi kunye namathambo.
Umcebisi uxela kwimemo ukuba injongo yombuzo we-80b kwifom yebango lokuncitshiswa kwamathambo kukuthintela ukukhululwa kwirhafu ekwenzeni izinto ezingezizo zesisa ngokuzifihla kwelinye iqumrhu. Ngokuqinisekileyo oku yile nto yenziwe yi-RTA Inc. ngeDeer Island Club Corporation. Ukulifihla eli lungiselelo nangona kunjalo i-RTA Inc. iyalukhaba uqhagamshelo kwi-DICC.
Ngapha koko, uyaqhubeka, i-RTA kunye ne-DICC zidityaniswe ngokusondeleyo kangangokuba kuzo zonke iinjongo kunye neenjongo i-RTA Inc. inayo i-Deer Island ngaphandle kwamabango ayo aphikisayo.
Andizukuya kuwo wonke umba werhafu apha. Mhlawumbi i-Bones shell shell corporation inesizathu esivakalayo nesifanelekileyo sokubanga ukuba ayinalo unxibelelwano neeklabhu zelizwe elizimeleyo elikwisiqithi. ** Mhlawumbi olu hlobo lwento luqhubeka ngalo lonke ixesha phakathi kwesisa sabucala sabanelungelo. Andiqondi ukuba isiQithi seDeer siyakuba nguManzi amhlophe kaGeorge W. Bush. Kodwa umntu unokucinga ukuba umcebisi okrelekrele we-White House angafuna ukujonga uhlobo lolwazi lwerhafu loluntu olufihlakeleyo lukaGeorge W. Ngokukodwa kuba ethembisa ngeengxangxasi zomoya omkhulu kwabo banelungelo, irhafu eyaphula uluntu oluyimfihlo ayithathayo kufuneka ibe ngaphaya kokurhanelwa. Ngaba uMongameli, ndingathanda ukwazi, ndibanga ugebhezi kunye namathambo akhe njengelungelo lokuncitshiswa kwesisa, xa kuphela isisa ekubonakala ukuba sinikezela ngendlu yeklabhu kunye nendlu yelizwe kwabo banelungelo? Ukufakwa kwe-RTA kumabango okakayi kunye neethambo kukho ukuze kuzuze iYunivesithi yaseYale. Kodwa u-Yale – obhiyozela iinkulungwane ezintathu zezinto eziqaqambileyo kule mpelaveki- kufanele ukuba abuze ukuba loluphi uncedo olufumanayo ngokukhotha i-bumhole yam kunye nokugculelwa kuka-Abner Louima.
Ngapha koko, xa ubusuku bufika ngokuhlwa saza sabhala umzobo welixesha langokuhlwa, ndaziva ngathi siqhuba ngesidala, isithethe esidala: indlela yendalo yedemokhrasi (encinci) yesiko lokuphakamisa amandla azifihla ngaphakathi kwengubo yelungelo nemfihlo. Kwaye kum, yayisisiphelo sesicelo sam senkulungwane yekota, esinye esaye senziwa ubuqu mva nje ngenxa yokuba uMongameli wethu woKhakhayi kunye noMathambo wayefunda naye e-Yale.
'Baleka, Neophyte, Baleka!'
Ekugqibeleni, zero iyure isondele. Kwiminyaka emibini, ilizwe langaphandle belizibuza kwaye licinga ngento eza kwenzeka, eneneni kwenzeka ntoni kulwaluko loKhakhayi namathambo. Kukho isithethe eside semibutho eyimfihlo yaseYale (kubandakanya Amathambo) ehlasela eminye imibutho eyimfihlo ukuze ibambe izinto zabo zesiko. Ngeminyaka yoo-1970, iqela lonke labasetyhini elaphula-phula iifoto zangaphakathi kweTomb's Tomb. Kodwa ngokuhlwanje, okokuqala ngqa, siza kuzama ukubamba elona siko lokwaluka liyimfihlo kwaye siyizise ekukhanyeni kwesifundo se-anthropological. Izixhobo zeqela lethu zazibandakanya iikhamera zedijithali-zekhamera ezinemibono ebusuku, enye irekhoda, isinyanzelo kunye neewalkie talkies ezimbini. (Andinakuze ndenze owam ukuba asebenze.) Ngenxa yokwenzakala kutshanje okuthintela ukuhamba kwam, bendime kwindawo ephulaphuleyo kunye nesishicileli sam sekhasethi ngelixa iqela leekhamera zevidiyo liqhubekeka kwindawo eyingozi ngakumbi kwisiseko esiphambili (njengalezo kuthi kwii-ops ezikhethekileyo ziyibize). Saceba ukuhlangana emva koko ukuze ndibukele iteyiphu.
Sahlukane kanye xa iiwops kunye nokugcuma, izikhalo kunye nokugcuma kwaqala ukuvela ngaphakathi kweTomb kunye neenkosi zoKhakhayi kunye nokuQalwa kwamathambo baqala ukuseka iiposti abazokuzenza kumdlalo wengqondo wobugqi oza kuza.
Ukusuka kwiposti yam, ndibone ngefestile evulekileyo imifanekiso enesithunzi ehamba ngokusondeleyo ngaphezulu kwentloko yam. Emva kwexesha ndizakubeka into endiyibhalileyo kunye nevidiyo-cam erekhodwe lelinye iqela ukuze ufumane umfanekiso opheleleyo, kodwa kuqala mandikhuphele amanye amanqaku endiwenzileyo ngokumamela. I-Fragmentary njengoko injalo, bayazibamba ezinye Ukungaqheleki, kwaye mhlawumbi nohlobo lokudideka abakhwetha ngokwabo abanamava apho kwintendelezo yoKakayi neThambo.
Kuqala, kwakukho umfana owayezenza njengoGeorge W. Wayebonakala ngathi akanantlonelo ngokunikwa le ndima- imvakalelo ayivakalisileyo ngokumemeza kwiGeorge W. drawl yakhe komnye usolusapho (njengoko bebizwa njalo): amandla okuqhushumisa ubuchwephesha ngaphandle kweChina kwaye bandinika esi sikhululo.
Emva koko umntu –omnye wabakhwetha? –Ubize uMalume uToby! (Uninzi lwabantu abaqhelekileyo besiko lithathwe kuTristram Shandy kaLaurence Sterne - kufuneka ubanike ikhredithi apho ngenxa yencasa elungileyo.)
Malume Toby! isikhalo saphinda.
Thula, neophyte.
Thatha loo plunger kwi-esile lam, Malume Toby.
Ngokufanelekileyo, le ntetho ihlekisayo kaLouima yayiliqhinga lokusoyikisa abakhwetha ekucingeni ukuba uMalume uToby uza kubanika unyango lweplunger.
Umxholo ovuyayo we-rectal walandelwa ngu:
Ndizokuphinda ndikubhale ngokutsha ungathanda ukuba ndibuye ndaphinda ndaphinda ndayibiza igama elithi Al Gore! Ukusuka kumlingisi kaGeorge W.
Ulandelwa ngu Ndincede! Ngumtyholi!
Kwaye emva koko uGeorge W. ungena kuyo: Ndizokubulala ngokungathi ndibulele u-Al Gore.
Cwaka. Emva koko kwavuleka ucango. Ilizwi- isiqingatha sabo, kwakukhangeleka ngathi, ngabafazi- babekhwaza: Baleka! Neophyte! Baleka, neophyte!
(Ii-neophytes, ewe, ziziqalo ezintsha.)
Ukusuka kwiposti yam, bendibona kuphela amanani afihliweyo ebaleka malunga nobumnyama ngaphezulu kwentloko yam, ehamba nesikhalo se:
Baleka, neophyte!
Fumana i-femur!
Kwaye (kwakhona): Thatha la plunger kwi-esile lam, Malume Toby!
Emva koko cwaka ithutyana. I-neophyte ibonakala ngathi ibuyele ngaphakathi engcwabeni. Emva koko omnye woosolusapho wakhalaza, Sifanele ukufumana igazi elingcono kunale isiraphu ye-fuckin, ndoda.
Kwaba semva kwexesha apho ndafunda ukuba igazi liyintoni na: wonke umqala-oqhekeza itafile yasemzini emva kokuncamisana kokakayi.
Kodwa kuqala bekukho uhlobo olwahlukileyo lokuncamisa ekubhekiswa kulo. Kwakukho ukukhala kweLick ibumhole yam, neophyte! Khotha iesile lam, neophyte! Ngaba uyayithanda i-bum, neophyte? (Ngaphandle kwezi zibongozo zisuka entliziyweni, khange sibone nanye kwezo zinto zigqityiwe.)
Umrhumo omkhulu walandelwa zizikhalazo ezingakumbi zokufumana ubufazi! kwaye ubuncinci inxenye yemantra yokufa endakhe ndayiva ngaphambili: UKUFA KULINGANA NOKUFA.
Ukulandela emva koko, uGeorge W. wangena ngaphakathi ndinguMongameli we-motha-fuckin ’U.S.A. – ngokucacileyo nje ngenxa yolonwabo olukhulu lokuyithetha. (Wayevakala ngokungathi ngowona George W. ngalo lonke ixesha.)
Kwaqala kwacaca ukuba into eyenzeka phandle ebaleni yayiyincopho yomnyhadala owaqala ngaphakathi engcwabeni. Apho, kuyaziwa, abakhwetha kufuneka kuqala bangene ebhokisini kwaye bafe kwilizwe elinabantu abangabhadlanga, kwihlabathi leengcungcu (konke ngaphandle koKhakhayi namathambo anyuliweyo), ukuze baphinde bazalwe njengelungu loMyalelo. Emva koko kuza ukakayi-ukwanga kunye nokugoba umqala.
Emva kweeyure ezimbini, emva kokuba bonke abakhwetha sele beqhaqhazelisiwe ziintlungu kwaye besoyika, ndaya kwindawo yokuhlangana neqela leekhamera zokubona ebusuku. Eli yayilixesha lenyaniso: Iqela elibonayo ebusuku lalingaqinisekanga ukuba zithathe ntoni ii-digicams zazo. Ngamehlo abo bafumene amagqabantshintshi, kodwa ukudlala kumdlalo wekhamera ujikeleza izikrini iya kuba sisihlandlo sokuqala, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku njengoko sasisazi, nawuphi na umntu wangaphandle wayezibonile ngokwenyani isithethe esidumileyo. Isithethe sooMongameli abathathu, iijaji ezimbalwa zeNkundla ePhakamileyo, mhlawumbi iisenethi ezili-12 (kubandakanya u-2004 owayengumongameli we-Democratic Presidential uJohn Kerry-okuthetha ukuba intloko-yentloko, u-Skull-to-Skull smackdown no-George W.), Oonobhala abaliqela bakaRhulumente , izikhanyiso zoncwadi kunye nezenkcubeko kubandakanya uJohn Hersey noWilliam F. Buckley, bonke babekhe bafumana.
Imifanekiso ibingumoya nje, ibiyigrey-kodwa ukusuka kwiikona zemiboniso ebusuku, sikwazile ukudibanisa ingxelo eyenzekileyo xa abakhwetha bevela belandelelana ukusuka kwingcwaba lokuqala.
Kuqala babekhokelwa phambili ngumntu okwisinxibo somtyholi. Ayisiyonyani ngokwenene, umntu okhangeleka njengoSathana kodwa, njengoko elinye leqela lalibeka, Ngakumbi njengoMncedi omncinci kaSathana.
Ukugcwala, ukoyikisa kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ukujija kwegazi ukukhala kunye nokukhala kunye nokunyanzeliswa kuhamba kunye nokuvela:
Khawuleza, neophyte! Baleka, neophyte!
Fumana i-femur, neophyte! Kunye neLick ngamaxesha athile ibumhole yam! Susa impompo! -Uhlobo lokukhala.
Umtyholi wabatsalela kwintente emhlophe eyadini apho, sicinga ukuba, bafumana ubufazi babo kwaye bavela ngento ebonakala ngathi lithambo lethanga, nangona kwakungenakwenzeka ukuxelela ukuba ngaba ibikhe yangumntu okanye hayi.
Xa baphinda baphinda basuka ententeni, babakhokelelwa kwindawo ephambili yale nkcubeko.
Banyanzelwa ubuso ngobuso ngetafile eyothusayo: umfana obambe into ebonakala ngathi yimela yokuxhela, enxibe uhlobo lwenkangeleko yesikhumba sezilwanyana, wema phezu kwento ebonakala ngathi ngumfazi ogqunywe ligazi lobuxoki hayi enye into. I-neophyte emva koko yaya kwikakayi iinyawo ezimbalwa ukusuka kwitafile yokuthambisa kunye nexhoba. I-neophyte yaguqa yancamisa ukakayi, ngelo xesha umfo onemela waguqa kwaye wasika umqala walowo uthandwayo. (Ewe, wenza ngathi unqumle umqala.)
Andiqinisekanga ukuba konke kuthetha ntoni. Andikazimiseli ukubaluleka okuyimfihlakalo koku, nangona ndikuthanda ukucinga ngowayesakuba nguMongameli uGeorge Bush ephuza ukakayi. Ngokucacileyo, inento yokwenza nokuzithoba. Yanga ukakayi lwamandla. Qubuda kuMyalelo. Kodwa uthini ngomntu onqabileyo osika umqala wexhoba lakhe?
Ngaba kuthetha ukuba umntu uyasweleka kwilizwe lasemzini? Ngaba kuthetha ukuba kukufa kwabo bangento? Ngaba ixhasa amaqhinga obukrelekrele? Ngaba leyo yindlela yokunyanzelisa ukuthula nokugcina imfihlo?
Ndiceba ukuqhubeka nofundo lwam olungagungqiyo lwe-hermeneutics ye-Bones rituals, iintsomi kunye neesimboli esekwe kwezi zityhilelo zintsha, kwaye mhlawumbi ngoncedo lomathambo ophumeleleyo ova ukuba ixesha lifikile lokususa isigqubuthelo kububhanxa (kwaye akusekho efihlakeleyo) uphawu loluntu lwabo.
