Chapter 378: Mouth Cannon Grand Prix

378

The host fell very unexpectedly on Meghan's head.

Originally, it wasn't that she didn't want to fight for it, but Edward also patted his chest, "How much does it cost, who are you looking for, I fully support ......"

Everyone knows what an honor it is to be able to play a show of this level.

The reality is very skinny, and this kind of political show is usually a battlefield for old white men.

Megan has been in the industry for a long time and knows all about these doorways, so she symbolically handed over the application.

And then put that behind you.

As a result, the top management of the TV station found a problem.

There were six people on both sides, all of whom were men......

Considering that both Edward and Robert Kaiser are extremely aggressive plays, the Russians are likely to adopt a counter-attacking strategy.

The scene is too hot and prone to accidents, so Meghan was lucky to become the host.

With her in the scene, at least it won't be too masculine ♂.

As for their opponents, Edward had already figured out the details through various channels.

Kinlika Borovik is the strongest debater of the Russians.

His profession shows that he is a journalist and playwright.

Borovik is smart, witty, handsome, and charismatic.

At the same time, in the warm-up interview, he repeatedly emphasized that he was Jewish.

Apparently this is prepared.

On the side of the American team, of course, there are many supernumerary personnel, and they go to great lengths to provide all kinds of information.

Like Solomon, like David Hill.

This is a national war, and both sides are giving it their all.

Judging by the news, Polovik is clearly not as simple as he claims to be on the surface, and everyone suspects that this guy is actually a KGB.

This can be seen in his superficial demeanor, but in fact he is almost ruthless towards his teammates.

Although he was the youngest member of the Soviet team, and on the surface he seemed to have the lowest status, it was clear that he was in charge of everything, and he carried a lot of weight in his words.

Of course, these photographs and even videos were taken without the knowledge of the Russians, and although they were well guarded, how could they be completely guarded since they had come to New York?

It can actually be done, but the Russians are not stupid either.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a self-confessing admit that they have KGB behind them.

So they can only cover it up as much as they can, but New York, the heart of the Americans, the home of the United States!

Edward believed that although the Russians lived in the embassy, as soon as they stepped out of the embassy threshold, there would be at least double digits of agents staring at them......

And the video of the other party in Italy, the Americans also watched it repeatedly.

Porovik's style of play can be clearly seen in the video, and he repeatedly emphasizes the role of the press, using the content of Western media reports to prove that there is a huge problem with Western RQ.

Edward was well prepared for this.

……

The competition has officially begun

Borovik spoke first.

He began to babble on about how American newspapers were running out of unemployment, crime and racial discrimination.

Frankly, these are real, and serious.

But at this moment, it is obvious that he can't follow his rhythm, and he has a plan for this.

Wait for Borovik to finish his statement.

Edward couldn't wait to stand up and asked excitedly:

"Mr. Borovik, you mentioned that all your evidence comes from 'reading American newspapers and magazines'. So can an ordinary Soviet citizen go to a newsstand and buy a copy of the New York Times, which was published with articles critical of the Soviet Union? ”

Borovik was stunned: "We sell all kinds of newspapers on our newsstands, but we don't have the Washington Post and the New York Times. It's too expensive to buy such a newspaper, and as I said, it's full of the current state of the American RQ, and frankly the Soviet people are not interested in it. ”

Edward: "So, you're admitting that the Soviet people couldn't see the Washington Post and the New York Times?" ”

Porovik: "I don't think that's a problem. I can't buy it in New York, too, GCD newspapers. ”

Edward: "I would say that it may not be possible to see all the GCD newspapers in New York, or only a few like Pravda. But this was not due to the repression of the United States, but to the fact that New Yorkers were not interested in it, and in other parts of the United States you could easily buy double-digit copies of such newspapers and magazines. ”

Borovik: "It's not going to be Alaska...... Polar bears may be interested in these. ”

Very clever humor, the West is accustomed to calling Russians bears or polar bears, and the other side seems to be willing to do so.

The bear and the eagle became symbols of both.

Edward: "Actually, when I was in New Haven, I passed by University Square every day, and the newsstand there had the most complete collection of GCD newspapers in the United States, and GCDs from all over the world could come to the United States to distribute their newspapers if they wanted. ”

A hint of panic flashed in Porovik's eyes, but he remained composed, shaking his head in denial.

So Edward opened his briefcase on the spot, took out the newspapers one by one, and read the names out loud.

Then he pretended to accidentally shake out an English version of Sdling's anthology, and then asked mockingly: "We don't have many of these things here, but we can buy them, and Moscow ......."

Seeing Borovik's face turned blue, Meghan understood that it would not be beneficial to continue chasing after him on this issue, so she quickly announced the end of the round.

The next round was for Edward: "Here I would like to talk about the arrest of the Helsinki Monitoring Group. It's as if President Richard Nixon ordered the arrest of all the directors of the Civil Liberties Union and all members of the board of directors of the New York Times after the New York Times published its report on the Vietnam War. ”

Porovik, "I protest, such an analogy is completely unnecessary!" Because the nature of the two is completely different! ”

Edward: "How is it different?" The New York Times published the Department of Defense's assessment of the Vietnam War, which is the media's right to monitor the government, and it is also an obligation. And the Helsinki Watchman regularly releases various information to the outside world, which is also to monitor whether the government is fulfilling international agreements! ”

He sneered: "There is no clear opposition in your country's constitution, and it is illegal for citizens to supervise the government, right?" Of course, if we write it like this, we will respect the internal affairs of other countries! ”

Edward: "At the same time, if the trial of Kudayev is fair, in particular, why are American observers not allowed to attend the trial, given the involvement of Americans in the crimes against him? ”

Borovik was beaten.

It's not that he lacks ability, it's that Edward's choice of angle this time is really tricky.

The Department of Defense v. The New York Times is a significant event.

In 11967, U.S. Secretary of Defense McNamara hired a committee of 36 experts and scholars to study how the United States was involved in the Vietnam War. It took the committee a year and a half to complete the 47-volume secret Vietnam War report, which was classified as "top secret" by the Department of Defense.

In late March 1971, the New York Times received 45 volumes of the Vietnam War Secret Report from one of the experts. At a time when the United States was mired in the Vietnam War, Sulzberg decided to publish a secret report on the Vietnam War.

On June 13, 1971, the New York Times published a secret report on the Vietnam War in six full pages, and planned to continue in the same page for the next nine days, putting the administration of then-President Richard Nixon in an embarrassing position.

The Nixon administration demanded that the New York Times stop publishing in the name of national security, but the New York Times cited the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, refused to compromise and went to court with the U.S. government, and the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled against the Nixon administration.

Behind this incident, of course, there is an element of bipartisan games, but it is really that the nine justices directly scolded the Nixon administration into a temper.

Edward's cunning lies in the fact that he occupies the absolute moral high ground from the start.

The case of the U.S. Government v. New York Times v. The Department of Defense has been thrown out as an argument, which is tantamount to a very obscure illustration of two issues.

First of all, the media and citizens absolutely have the right to monitor the government, even if it would be a violation in the ordinary sense of the word, but it doesn't matter, the Supreme Court of Justice is in charge of it.

Second, at least on the surface, the principle of checks and balances between the three powers was clarified, and the nine representatives of the judiciary united to defend the huge federal government, and Nixon's performance was also a model of a single, willing to gamble and lose.

Of course...... In fact, it was too late for Nixon to pinch his nose and snicker, because the release of this series of documents had made the anti-war sentiment of the domestic people even higher, and he could logically use public opinion to suppress the Democratic Party's idea of continuing to fight and continue to expand the war.

In this case, the Nixon administration was actually the biggest winner, and on the surface it seemed to have lost face, and the national defense secrets were published by the newspapers to the world, and the government did not send the leakers to hold the newspapers accountable, and the lawsuit was lost again.

But aside from this little face, the benefits are sufficient, not only to win him praise for respecting the law, but also to provide a cover for an early exit from the quagmire of the Vietnam War, you must know that at this time the domestic economy has begun to show signs of stagflation, and the war is a bottomless pit of the budget, after plugging, at least the Minister of Finance and the Secretary of State will breathe a sigh of relief.

Borovik, of course, understood Edward's strategy.

And he also knew that Nixon had a lot to gain from this case.

But this can't be put on the table, because without full evidence, it is easy to lose the support of the audience to say it without real evidence, and no one likes conspiracy theorists.

So he began to turn his gun and began to plead, mainly to make statements about Kudaev's "criminal behavior".

These are all materials that have been tempered for a long time, and there may be loopholes in them, but they are very inconspicuous.

After all, Kudayev's case took place entirely in the Soviet Union, and the KGBs may have been a little frizzy at first, leaving some branches of the handle, but it doesn't matter, they have plenty of time to fix it.

Borovik is an excellent orator, eloquent and earnest.

Edward found that the audience was beginning to be attracted to him, so much so that Meghan looked at Borovik differently.

"! Worst! It feels like it's going to be green! Edward knew that if Borovik was allowed to play any longer, he was afraid that the advantages he had just built up would be exhausted.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, please forgive me for the tricks......" He sighed, held the frame of his glasses with his right hand, wiped his forehead with his left hand, and then coughed carefully with his right hand covering his mouth.

Unmoved, Borovik continued to speak.

However, the situation on the ground has changed.

Almost everyone heard the female sobbing and said "He's lying, he's completely lying!" ”

It should be explained that in order to ensure the sound effect, not only are microphones arranged on the podiums of both sides, but also microphones are not far from the front row of the auditorium, so as to achieve the final sound effect, and this female voice is transmitted throughout the audience through the microphone.

"This lady, please keep quiet, otherwise I can only ask you to leave" Meghan said quickly

"He's lying, I'm Kudaev's wife! I'm responsible for every word I say."

Exactly Vita!

There was an uproar in the audience.

Many people realized that Borovik represented Moscow.

Between him and Vita, the good people of course chose to believe the latter, because of how beautiful she looked and how helpless she was.

"I protest!" Borovik was a little angry, he didn't expect the other party to give him this play, it was really a cunning capitalist country.

"I'm going to say," said Edward, into the microphone, "that Lady Weta did not want to come and watch the debate, because it would be extremely cruel for any wife to listen to her dear husband become the material for a war of words. ”

"This has nothing to do with this debate. Moderator: "Borovik began to ask Meghan for help.

Ahem, apparently he's looking for the wrong person.

Megan didn't speak, just motioned for Edward to continue.

Edward, "I'll just say for a minute." But I suggested that Vita come, because I had expected that there would be members of the Soviet legal profession among my opponents today, and that Ms. Vita could ask him for help. But apparently I was wrong. ”

"Okay," Meghan interjected at the right time, "we all sympathize with you, you're a brave woman." But promise me to be quiet for the rest of the day, or I will have to ask you to leave. In the meantime, please trust us, we will do everything we can to rescue your husband. ”

"I'm sorry, I was wrong......" Weta stopped talking.

Stirred up like this, Meghan can only declare the end of this issue.

Both sides move on to the next round.

It was again Porovik who spoke.

He excitedly accused the United States of depriving its citizens of the RQ problem, saying that the United States is a typical thief in this regard.

The Johnny Harris case was also cited as an example.

Edward sneered and asked him if this was from reading American newspapers.

Borovikri ignored it.

The case took place in the notorious Alabama state prison.

Although the federal government has declared that slavery has been abolished for more than 100 years, it has not been implemented, at least in Alabama.

Of course, the plantations, the white slave owners, and the hounds that hunted for escaped black slaves are long gone, but there is still a remnant of the "glory" of the past.

This is the state jail, and the state jail has its own industry — mainly huge cotton plantations and sugar beet fields and sugar cane fields, which are undoubtedly inhabited by all sorts of black prisoners — and truth be told, Alabama has its own tradition of managing production in the Middle World to a level of labor efficiency that it did after the Industrial Revolution in the twentieth century.

Honestly, Edward wants to apply for an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity project for them, as long as Chris doesn't kill him, of course.

Such a harsh prison is also rare in the United States, and locals call it the southernmost point of hell.

Johnny Harris, a black man, had a normal life and work, until one day, he was inexplicably arrested by the police, who demanded that he confess to committing a bunch of crimes such as robbery and rape.

Harris rightfully refused, and produced a list of people who could prove that he had a sufficient alibi at the time of the crime.

However, after going to court, the judge did not call any witnesses at all, and cleanly sentenced him to five years in prison, and then was thrown into the state prison to serve his sentence.

What happened later can roughly be inferred as to why Harris was arrested and imprisoned, because the sugar cane on the prison farm was ripe and needed a lot of people to harvest it.

But the harvest of sugar cane was too tiring, so the prisoners were passive and slack.

This ushered in the warden's wrath, who, after personally beating up several of the leading slacking men, walked up to Harris in bloodstained clothes and told him that "you are already a living dead"

Fearing for the future, Harris and his roommates immediately kidnapped the warden.

This ignited the anger of the other prisoners, and a riot swept through the prison.

In the end, the prison guard was unharmed, but one guard was killed in the riot.

For this reason, the warden and prison authorities accused Harris of being the murderer, but Harris said that he had never done such a thing.

The case was so big that the Alabama Attorney General personally participated in the appeal, and he searched through the statutes to find a law that had only been used seven times since it was enacted, in the hope that it would be useful for the eighth time — to ensure that Harris would be sent to the gallows.

It is worth mentioning that while serving his sentence, Johnny Harris changed his name to Johnny Imani Harris, apparently his religious beliefs changed.

Although Alabama is hell-bent on killing Harris, times have changed.

In the modern age of media, Harris's case has touched all righteous and conscientious Americans, who have sided with civil rights activists to protest Alabama's perverse behavior.

Edward knew the case very well, quite simply, Chris was one of the members of Harris's lawyers' team, and he vowed to turn the case over, otherwise he would be sorry for the blacks in the United States.

Although Edward was busy to death, he still found time to give advice to the black boss: since Alabama does not talk about martial arts, then the Civil Rights Union should not be polite, it should make full use of the existing law to take jurisdiction over the case from the state, and then neither the Federal Circuit nor the Supreme Court will let the racists get their wish.

And he also provided a large number of judgments and legal provisions to support this immoral routine.

Seeing that the opponent is trying to use this as a breakthrough to hit Edward.

He can only hehe......

It's all too simple to deal with such accusations.

Just lie flat on Dafa!

Edward then readily admitted that the United States had violated RQ at times.

And frankly the Harris case is a very headache, because it involves a lot of stubborn and unreasonable problems, and the best tool to get through the heads of these racists is the AR15 rifle, not the pistol, because their brains are all granite.

Edward's candor was clearly beyond Borovik's expectations.

He thought Edward was going to defend himself by force.

As everyone knows, at this moment, the institutional advantages of the United States play the role of the winner and loser, and criticizing their own government in the United States will never be regarded as treason and betrayal of the party, but rather a manifestation of patriotism, especially as a New Yorker to criticize Alabamara and make a big news, that is a proper national idol!

"Actually, I've been involved in defending Harris because of my best friend Chris, and we've worked together on a lot of troublesome things, and I've always admired his tenacity and bravery. He's an Alabama native, and he's vowed to change the barbarism of his hometown, so I didn't hesitate to stand by him! ”

"At the same time, I suggest that lawyers and journalists from the two countries work together to improve human rights violations in both countries." Edward concluded, "May I ask you, Mr. Porovik, do you agree with this view? ”

Ahem, of course, the other party can only agree.

Borovik nodded: "I agree. But I have to say that each of them should improve the situation in their own countries, and not use this as an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. ”

"Of course," Edward continued, "may I ask Mr. Porovik what he has done to improve the situation in the Soviet Union?" ”

Borovik was speechless for a moment.

"You should have given a report to the Young Pioneers, led the GQT to visit the graves of Red Square, and maybe you were an activist for Saturday volunteer labor. Of course, these are RQ careers, and they are reasonable. Edward sneered.

"I know what you're trying to say. Yes, I defended Sheldon because he grew up in the same community as me, and it is my duty to ensure that every citizen of the United States is able to enjoy his constitutional rights, as long as the court verdict is not down before it comes down! ”

"You can say I'm defending the KBs, but the fact is that I have a couple of polls here, and what does that mean that after Shelton's acquittal, the Jewish movement, especially the number of violent activities, in the United States has dropped dramatically? It shows that the people are always smart, and they know what kind of government is to truly love them and protect them. ”

"Also, do you have such an independent third-party poll? A collective oath or collective condemnation by the GQT commandos before the Sunday collective event does not count as a ......"

Edward was speaking more and more harshly.

Since the crossing, he has been restricted everywhere, and he has not enjoyed a trace of Long Aotian's domineering at all, on the contrary, he has taken three steps at a time, trembling, for fear of inadvertently offending the powerful people behind the scenes, and the opponent will come with a finger, and he will never recover.

I don't know why, when he was nervous, these thoughts kept coming to his mind, causing him to get angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more immoral his mouth became.

At the same time, he was also wondering, what kind of medicine did Lao Maozi take at this low level?

Open debate with the United States about who is better RQ?

It's not that you can't debate, but at least you're supporting a few human rights organizations in the United States......

Why don't you have so many civil rights groups, support a few, and then use them as a starting point......

However, in fact, according to his observations, the Russians should have done this, but the result was the same as not doing anything.

This is the great magic of the dirty water of the United States itself, and in the face of the filth of its own country, the interference of foreign forces seems too gentle and frugal.

In fact, the United States' internal indulgence, the so-called vaccinator strategy, has been successful, and the federal government's "no armed secession" has been a real floor, which seems to be a huge cost of money.

But the developed industry and commerce are enough to compensate for the losses, the advantage is that the opponent is very uncomfortable, and in terms of freedom, even the Russians have to pinch their noses and admit the superiority of the United States - of course, there is also a special term "*******", so the Russians can only boast of their own democracy - of course, this is also a joke.

At the same time, this near-absolute freedom has greatly increased the cost of interference by foreign forces.

Foreign forces want to come in and play tricks, relying on nothing more than two things, offering money and inciting discontent.

Neither of these things was ever a problem for dissidents in the United States, even though Rockwell was once so down-and-out that he had his men on cat food to get by, but ended up receiving donations from a large number of low-IQ people - the American people at this time were so wealthy that Edward even suspected that many people wrote small checks to Rockwell with the mentality that they should pay for the circus.

As for venting dissatisfaction...... Okay, just look at the Great New Haven Lawn.

Therefore, the federal government's approach is tantamount to directly raising the threshold for domestic protesters, making them feel that the assistance provided by foreign forces is simply childish.

To use an inappropriate analogy, these goods in the United States are all LSP from Ai Iijima to Aoi Division, and all that foreign forces can provide is nothing more than a side-kick thing like "Kind Little Sister-in-law", how can a serious LSP take the latter in their eyes?

Sometimes I will look at it with a curious mentality, and after reading it, I just pout, and then continue to stuff the Blu-ray original disk into my hard drive......

Edward took advantage of this, and after taking absolute moral advantage, he began to bombard Borovik indiscriminately.

Robert Kaiser and Father Priest were not idle, delivering all sorts of assists, and the scene was gorgeous and fluid.

While Edward was killing crazy, he also muttered in his heart, "Nima's combat power is just like that, why did the Italians lose before?" ”

……

Meghan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly began to pull the rack, this time not to pull the frame, or to help the Russians.

She knows Edward too well, and once this thing is in the state, it will show the prototype of the lawyer and start to cross-examine the other party, so that the Russians will have a reason to leave the protest!

……

The debate ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

The reason why it is relatively harmonious is because the US team's lying flat tactics are too bullish, and even Porovik can't do it.

The following famous scenes were repeated on both sides:

Russians: "Your country is discriminating against blacks!" ”

American: "Yes, you're right, I'll admit it!" And you don't have this kind of discrimination, because there are no blacks in your country, so why don't we send 5 million blacks over? ”

Russian: "......"

……

Russians: "Your country suppresses the feminist movement"

American: "Yes! You're right! I admit it! Why don't we send 500,000 female boxers over? As long as they want to! ”

Russian: "......"

……

Russians: "Your country discriminates against working people!" ”

American: "Yes! You're right! I admit it! Do you want us to send 1000w skilled industrial workers over, as long as you can pay the same wages. ”

Russian "......"

……

Russians: "You persecuted the Jews!" ”

American: "Yes! …… No, not really! ”

Russian: "Sorry, I said it wrong, do it all over again"

……

All in all, it was a great victory.

Although Meghan announced that the result of the match was a draw.

But then the scene was almost one-sided.

What's more, Edward used television, the most intrusive mass media of the era, to bring the Kudayev case to every household in the United States.

It also gave ordinary people in Europe a deeper understanding of the case.

Kudaev has become a symbol of great significance in the West.

The importance of this surname is straight to that of Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn.

Edward's strategy with Kudaev materialized by turning the case from a purely Soviet affair into a hotspot of international concern, thereby exerting tremendous diplomatic and moral pressure on the Soviet government to make some concessions at the subsequent trial.

……
