Chapter 38 Act 36 Trial of Nixon

The scene is the same as Act 1. God Li: (Stands up, hits the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 36th Court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography accused the 37th President of the United States Richard Nixon (Richard Nixon). (Nixon stands.) God Lee: You are the second president of the United States under 6 feet tall. Born in 1913, you are the 37th president of the United States. Nixon: Yes.Thank God Lee for reminding me, but it seems to be missing. I am the president who saw the Americans land on the moon. God Li: (coldly) The earth has been harmed by you, so don't worry about the moon.

Nixon: Oh. God Lee: Let me read a passage to you first, guess who said it: Richard Nixon is a no-good lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and even if he caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in. In order to avoid unfamiliar skills.) Nixon: (with a stern face) Who could lie so pianoly except Truman present? God Lee: What piano? Nixon: God, Lee didn't understand, but Truman did. I gave him the old White House piano. He likes to play the piano, but he doesn't play it like playing on a piano (piano), but like playing on a piano. My first The piano mentioned the second time is not a piano, but an abbreviation for pianoforte, which means a large beef rib.

God Lee: Some people say that you have no opponents in your eyes, only enemies.Some people describe you as anti-Semitic, but immediately there is a different description, saying that you are not only anti-Semitic, but also anti-Italian, anti-Greek, and anti-Slovak.I don't know who you supported.You hate everyone.You can say bad things about Kissinger and still let him be Secretary of State. Nixon: (in a low voice) Don't hate so much now, just hate Truman. (Laughter.) Nixon: But let me add that President Kennedy's precious brother, Robert Kennedy, said that President Johnson told so many lies that he had to convince himself to tell the truth from now on, and the trouble was that President Johnson couldn't tell the truth Words, what is a lie.Compared with President Johnson, at least I can distinguish between truth and lies.

God Lee: Did you accidentally tell the truth, as President Truman said? Nixon: (laughs treacherously) Will it?What I accidentally said should be just an uninspired lie. For example, I would say, If you can't stand the Watergate get out of the White House. (If you can't stand the Watergate get out of the White House. ".) (Laughter.) God Lee: It seems you have a very painful sense of humor.Your problem should be that you are a lawyer and the president of the United States, but you don't obey the law. Nixon: Law?The question is in what capacity do you look at it, some things, When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal. (The president does not do it, why is it illegal.)

God Lee: The last paragraph is what you said in an interview with David Frost. Nixon: God Lee deserves to be called God Lee, really amazing. God Lee: You are in Six Crises, and you write (picks up a piece of paper): "Since the study of law trains the mind, it is helpful in politics as well as in other fields. But as A lawyer, I should add a 'caveat' to this point: Lawyers have a tendency to 'nit-picker'. Often, when faced with a problem, they The point of view taken is 'how not to do it' rather than 'how to do it'. The lawyer in politics needs to be supported by non-lawyers so that he is not too legal and unimaginative." Right ?

Nixon: Yes. God Li: Watergate Affair, you are too imaginative. Sending your men to do illegal wiretapping is a genius stroke of the lawyer's personality, but you were caught by ghosts in the end. Nixon: Well, don't mention it. When you mention the Watergate incident, it seems that I, Nixon, are sorry for the whole world. Clinton: (interrupting) Any affair of the President of the United States will make the whole world feel sorry. (Laughter.) God Lee: The Watergate incident was just that you were sorry to the whole of the United States, and you were also sorry to the whole world.

Nixon: (surprised) What's the matter? God Lee: A thing that has been overlooked has a long history.Remember President Truman's Secretary of State Dean Acheson, he said a wonderful line, he said that Britain lost its empire, but lost its role. (Great Britain has lost an empire and has not found a role.) Why is it difficult for the UK to position itself?Because it was stunned by you in the United States.Their smart economists' vision of a world currency has been wrecked by your stupid treasury men.With the support of President Roosevelt, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, changing the world of pounds to the world of dollars, on July 22, 1944, you united 44 countries at the "Bretton Woods Conference" (Bretton Woods Conference) Reach a one-sided agreement to make the dollar eat all the world.At that time, although the U.S. dollar was promoted as the world’s currency, there was another guarantee, which was to promise the world that we were on the "U.S. dollar-gold standard system", and the U.S. dollar would always be equal to gold. ounces of gold to win the trust of the whole world, and tell the whole world: Don’t you feel at ease when the U.S. dollar is used as the world currency?Although the U.S. dollar is paper currency, it is linked to gold, with a fixed price ratio and permanent acceptance. Don’t you feel relieved?

Jackson: (stands up suddenly) I'm worried!I, Jackson, don't believe in paper money!Gold is real, paper money is fake! (Furious face, sits down.) Roosevelt: (struggling to stand up) Is there anything hard to believe, as long as the United States keeps its promises and has a strong signboard, the dollar is gold!From me, Roosevelt, to President Truman, to President Eisenhower, to President Kennedy, to President Johnson, to President Nixon, isn’t it all 35 dollars to 1 ounce of gold?It's been 5 consecutive terms, don't you always maintain the currency of banknotes? God Lee: The problem lies in the fifth term. Nixon couldn't hold on anymore.

Roosevelt: (confused) Why can't you hold on? In 1934, when we designed $35 per ounce of gold, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar had actually dropped significantly due to 10 years of continuous inflation, but we insisted on overestimating it. It's a big bargain, why can't you hold on? (turns head sideways) Nixon, what did you do? (sit down.) God Lee: What did he do?Breton established an international monetary system centered on the U.S. dollar. The basic content is that the U.S. dollar is linked to gold, and other countries are linked to the U.S. dollar and implement a fixed exchange rate system.Linked, there is a window, which can be exchanged for gold from the United States at the official price of 35 US dollars per ounce, and the US dollar is regarded as synonymous with gold.Under this system, the U.S. dollar is equivalent to gold and together constitute an international reserve asset. In 1971, President Nixon closed the "gold window," abandoning the gold standard and ending the fixed exchange rate between the dollar and gold.As a result, the floating exchange rate is on the stage, and the exchange rate of a country's currency will change according to changes in market supply and demand.This policy implemented by the U.S. government must not be underestimated, because, in a sense, it is tantamount to declaring a country bankrupt and turning the U.S. into a rascal.What did you ask Nixon to do?Let me tell you, Nixon made a big rogue!

Nixon: Big scoundrel!Who made me a big rogue?In the era of President Eisenhower, the U.S.'s foreign short-term bonds have reached 21 billion, far exceeding the gold reserves of only 17.8 billion.Adding the Vietnam War later, President Johnson’s gold reserves were only 12.1 billion. Then the dollar crisis came again, and another 2.4 billion was lost.When I took over as president and the gold was gone, what should I do? I had to play tricks, and I had to blow up the US dollar gold-linked guarantee at the Breton Conference.We announced to the world that from now on gold is gold and the US dollar is the US dollar, and we will not exchange gold.

God Lee: What about the credit of the United States? Nixon: Who cares about credit! God Lee: The conclusion is that you said it yourself. You, the United States, are sorry for the whole world. Nixon: I know what it is to be sorry. God Lee: Let me test you, how much is an ounce of gold now? Obama: (on seat) $1,250. Jackson: (jumps up) I'm right!Paper money is unreliable!Paper money is a lie!Once the dollar is a dollar, not against gold, the dollar is a piece of paper.What is a piece of paper? God Lee: A piece of paper is nothing, you're right.Indians are stupid, they believe in your treaty. Jackson: (wry smile) Treaties are always made of sheepskin, right? (Laughter.) God Li: When it comes to printing paper money, it seems that even if one day, the creditors of the United States from China to Japan and below will unite as one and don’t trust the United States. They want to collect debts from the United States and recover all their debts. Don't be afraid either.As long as the President of the United States gives an order to start all the money printing machines and print a large amount of money, the debt will be paid off.The cost of a banknote is two cents, and the largest denomination banknote is 100,000 yuan. With the cost of two cents, 100,000 yuan is printed in one printing, which is too happy. Wilson: (on the seat) 100,000 yuan is my avatar.The bills are too large to be circulated, and the hundred-dollar bills with 1,000 Franklin portraits are better for repaying debts. God Lee: Well, just rely on Franklin.What do foreigners do with Franklin, which is full of pits and valleys? They will use it to buy American goods, American goods or services, which will at most cause inflation and depreciation of the dollar, but the main victims of inflation and depreciation of the dollar are the persistent The biggest victims of these people with Franklin's head are foreigners and creditor countries.Therefore, after all the calculations, the United States, which caused trouble, suffered the least.How wonderful, your U.S. government often uses the shameless trick of depreciating the dollar to covertly rely on debts to injure foreigners and creditor countries. This is the strange phenomenon that once the dollar falls, foreign countries will try to rescue the dollar instead. How weird. Nixon: In fact, things have evolved to this point, and the United States is also very helpless. God Lee: Helpless?I think it's a rogue.We human beings have always thought that there is only one kind of rogue in human beings, that is, the kind of low-level society. Even if it is that kind, the person who is a rogue himself also has "rogue morality". He will express that he is in trouble, so he has no choice but to "Playing a rogue".Like Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty in China, he lost everything in the casino, and finally played "meat gambling".Meat gambling is a rogue gambling method. When a gambler loses money, if the banker loses to him, he cannot lose money, only meat.This kind of meat betting, not the thighs, but the genitals!If the banker loses, he has to cut his genitals too!The dealer did not dare to accompany him, so he spent money to eliminate disasters and meet the requirements of the rascals.In other words, play rogue, but pay the price yourself.Now, humans have discovered that rascals are not just the above-mentioned "poor rascals", but also a "rich rascals", which is the one in the United States.Just relying on being a rich man, enjoying good food and drinking hot food, in the end, even though he is rich, he is so rich that his debts are flying. Time and time again, he cheats on the whole world, and drags the whole world down with his own extravagance and poverty.By depreciating the dollar and other methods, the world owes debts to the world.After Alan Greenspan, chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board for 19 years, stepped down, he wrote a book saying that he "won't pretend to know all the answers". That's all.His entire book The Age Of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World is just a "buggy story". Bush Jr.: (standing up) Tell God Lee, I want to appeal for President Nixon. God Li: What are you calling injustice? Bush Jr.: Although Nixon played tricks on the United States, the United States did not suffer.On the surface, the U.S. cheating and decoupling from gold symbolizes the decline of economic hegemony.actually not.First, the United States can only enjoy rights without fulfilling its responsibilities.The United States can enjoy the benefits of the U.S. dollar as the world’s currency, but it does not have to bear the responsibilities of exchange rate stability; second, the U.S. uses recognition of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) as an exchange condition to trick OPEC countries into accepting "oil is settled in U.S. dollars." With oil, who cares about gold?So, Nixon cheated, and what the United States lost was shamelessness. Who wants shame? God Lee: What about morality? Bush Jr.: (rolling his eyes) Who wants morality? "The third generation of rich bastards", without morality, the United States is still the United States, and it is still the boss.The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States has actually become the central bank of the world. Who would dare not follow suit?As long as the U.S. dollar is the only universal currency in the world, inflation will be inflated or deflated, as I please.Get rid of the gold exchange, and print as many dollars as I want, what a bargain! God Lee: In this way, you, the United States, can legally exploit other countries in a world-wide and grandiose manner just by printing money, can't you? Bush Jr.: (acting like a rogue, in fact, there is no need to do too much, because he looks like a rogue, but it looks like an innocent rogue) Who says no.But talking about exploitation is too hurtful. It should be said that because the US dollar looks good, we will beautify the US dollar. As a result, countries around the world are scrambling to reserve US dollars. The banknote machine is printing banknotes, and others will send blood to the door. God Li: Like sucking money, you are sucking blood. Bush Jr.: It's a blood transfusion.We are wealthy young masters, just like Bush Jr., sometimes we need blood transfusions.In fact, our numismatists have written down a real golden rule long ago, which is: "Foreigners export oil, cars, televisions, and beautiful clothes; they earnestly save dollars, but they don't know that we spend The oil, the cars, the televisions, the nice clothes, it’s not paid for, not really paid for. It’s just a little tired of the money printing machine.” Bush Sr.: (topping up with hand on seat) Oh my God, you made it so clear, you are my good son!After leaving the court, I will tell your mother immediately. (Laughter.) Bush: (satisfied) I haven't finished yet.God Lee, can I just state the conclusion again? God Lee: If you'd like to stand trial for Nixon, say so.Nixon could sit down first. (Nixon sits down.) Bush Jr.: The conclusion is: first, the issuance of the U.S. dollar to the world is equivalent to seigniorage from the whole world. Listen to the figures, and you will laugh. In 2000, the U.S. seigniorage spread was 295.8 billion U.S. dollars, but the military expenditure that year was 29.44 billion U.S. dollars. 100 million is equal to the two, how happy the United States is, our military strength is the strongest in the world, but the whole world treats us.We have taken advantage of other countries without spending a dime.Second, according to the rules of the world, a country cannot borrow in its own currency, but can only borrow in foreign exchange, and it must be repaid.But the U.S. dollar is both a domestic currency and a foreign exchange. Although the U.S. dollar circulating in foreign countries is equivalent to the external debt of the United States, don’t forget that our U.S. dollar is the only world currency and the currency of the world. Therefore, there is no need to repay debts, at least not all Also, because there are more U.S. dollars in foreign countries than in the United States, with a large amount of circulation, turnover, and reserves in foreign countries, who will return them to themselves? Jackson: (jumps up, reaching out to pat Bush Jr. on the shoulder) Ah!Wouldn't the world be peaceful?Others are so cheap, we in the United States accept support, just rely on the money printing machine, how mysterious!No wonder an old man like me who only recognizes gold doesn't understand.Now that I understand, I declare that I, Jackson, don't want gold any more.It seems to be a perfect fit, America's favorite son, with no flaws, no flaws.The only downside is (slightly hesitant)... God Lee: Shameless. Jackson: Yes, shameless.Eat the Quartet, eat the whole world, shameless.Let’s just eat Indians, why are we eating more and more?Shameless (nods, sits down). God Lee: That's the problem.If the United States only relies on its geographical advantages, bullying the weak, bullying Indians, enslaving blacks, and even expanding its territory in the military, and sharing the fat with diplomatic alliances...the whole world will forgive it for the time being, because these are generally What happened before the 19th century can be regarded as "historical anti-justice" rather than "current anti-justice".If the good life of the United States today is only due to the past "reversal" and today's "success", we can not settle it for the time being. The problem is that the good life of the United States today does not depend on the accumulation and savings of the past, or the accumulation and savings of today's Americans. On the contrary, he comes from eating, fighting, and stealing all over the world. In other words, he is a rich young man, but he enjoys eating, drinking, playing and having fun all day long. The money that is wasted and spent is not based on the money of our ancestors or our own hard work, but on eating other people's money all day long. That is to say, in today's "American life" of Americans, the money spent every day Not his own, but someone else's.Who are the others?People from all over the world, people whose life in the whole world cannot keep up with the "American life".Isn't it strange that others live a bad life, but give money to Americans to live a good life?That's exactly what happened.You will ask: Why is the whole world so cheap, and you want to give money to rich young masters in the United States, but you yourself are miserable. Jackson: (doubting in his seat, scratching his hair) It sounds like this rich young man in America is really hateful. God Lee: The more hateful ones are in the back.The problem is that if the rich young man in the United States just spends our money and enjoys it quietly all day long, that’s fine. After getting rich again, bankers appeared and created "derivatives", which resulted in bubbles and waves of financial tsunami around the world, causing the whole world to suffer.The most wonderful, the most wonderful, if the disaster happened, it should be the rich young master who was unlucky first, right?You are wrong, you are wrong, the unlucky one is not the rich young master first, but you, your lordship, this is not an honorary title, but the rich young master broke down your broken attic, and you are crushed under the attic, becoming Your Excellency.Although he is broken, his rich young master is still sitting on top of you, with a cigar in his mouth, a glass of wine in his hand, and his legs crossed. Jackson: (on the seat, sighing) Oh, I don't understand, why everyone collapsed, and the rich young master is still sitting on it.As the saying goes, "If you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about it." The United States has accumulated a huge foreign trade deficit for a long time, so don't you worry about it? God Lee: The wonderful thing is that the deficit not only did not harm the United States, but it first harmed others.What does the long-run deficit indicate?It means that the wealthy young masters of the United States enjoy free foreign goods for a long time. Since the U.S. dollar is the currency of the world, the United States can keep its foreign economy out of balance. Once the money printing machine rolls over and over again, inflation will roll over to other countries, especially It is a developing country, and it is the unlucky ghost who has been passed on.So, there is no great financial crisis for the rich young master, because the rich young master's crisis is actually better than the unlucky ghost.Just look at the "Black Monday" in the U.S. stock market in October 1987. There was nothing wrong with the U.S., but in developing countries, not only the Monday was black, but it was black for several months.This is the privilege of the U.S. dollar as the world's currency, because it can maintain its triple deficit in the balance of payments, and there is no need to rush to solve it, but other countries can't do it, so they have to accept bad luck under the help of the rich young master. Jackson: (standing up) Can you deny your bad luck?If I am not an American, for example, if I am an Iraqi, I will rebel. We don’t recognize that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the world, right? Our oil country sells oil, and we no longer "oil is settled in U.S. dollars", is it okay? God Lee: (laughs) If you are an Iraqi, you are Saddam Hussein. Once the United States finds out that you are challenging the US dollar, it will attack you.Saddam was thus hanged.All the reasons for fighting Iraq are nonsense. The real and far-reaching reason is that the United States is most afraid that the world will not recognize its world currency phenomenon. Once it is exposed, the rich young master will immediately collapse. Jackson: Except for Saddam Hussein, don't others have the idea of ​​overthrowing the US dollar as the world's currency?Can the United States fight one by one?To hang people? God Li: For those who are inconvenient to call, the United States has other methods. In January 1999, when the euro came out as a challenger to the dollar, the United States launched the Kosovo war on the doorstep of the European Union, messing up your euro.The rich young master wants to eat and drink for free anyway, if you prevent him from eating and drinking for free, he will raise his fists in addition to being shameless. Jackson: Ha, I finally get it, thank God Lee for teaching me a lesson (sit down). God Lee: Let's just take the class, but I have to be more careful.Otherwise, when the trial comes, some people will not be convinced. Bush: Ordinarily God Lee said so well, I should be convinced, but I just ask for advice.The United States was not shameless at the beginning, and did not raise its fists. The United States was really rich when it was rich. At that time, who was rich and rich, who was beaten? God Lee: Do you want to know who was hit?Hit your faithful friend. In 1949, the United States forced the devaluation of the British pound, and in the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, the United States imposed sanctions on the British currency and sold a large number of pounds, which caused the depreciation of the British pound. What happens when the rich young man is rich?If you say that you will be punished with money, you will be punished with money.Young Master Kuo's Erlang's legs always have to be crossed, the question is whether to cross them in front of your eyes or on your body. Bush Jr.: God Lee spoke really well, so that God Lee will not interrogate us. God Lee: Let me tell you, I am on trial, and I am announcing your charges on the US dollar.It seems that when one person is being judged, a group of people are often being judged.Take the theory of guilt on the U.S. dollar. From 1943 to the end, there have been 13 presidents in a row, from Roosevelt to Obama. Everyone has a share. Although the trial of Nixon is now being held, everyone is Nixon, even Jackson in the first two centuries wanted paper money. Nixon: Talking about it, it’s all about money. The United States has other things. In terms of gold exchange and the use of dollars as currency, we in the United States have nothing to offer, but we are not empty-handed. There is a manufacturing industry, and we use manufacturing to benefit the world. We are still the "boss" in manufacturing. In fact, we are not the paper boss of a dollar bill. God Lee: Want to hear the numbers?Together, Europe and Asia have 80% of the world's population, 70% of the world's gross national product, and 78% of the world's known energy sources; in contrast, in 1950, 3/5 of the world's manufacturing output came from the United States, but 50 years later , the United States only accounts for 1/5 of the world's output, and multinational companies only account for 1/5 of the world's top 100 multinational companies.These statistics all prove that you, the United States, are "the leader" in the world, but in fact you are "eating all directions", because you have long lost the dignity of being the leader.If you "eat your own food" and eat your own "food", that's all. What you Americans eat is other people's food. Isn't that abominable?Your problem is not only massive consumption, but also a lot of "conspicuous consumption". Your United States has fallen into an unprecedented recession and hyperinflation. The final result is a trade deficit of up to 800 billion US dollars a year, and a budget of 300-400 billion US dollars. deficit, and an $8.5 trillion national debt.If unfunded liabilities, such as social security payments, are also included, the national debt of the United States will exceed $50 trillion, nearly six times the official figure.America will never come out. Nixon: Just now God Lee pointed out the "conspicuous consumption" of the United States. In fact, Americans do not spend money recklessly. God Li: I can go into more detail. Listen carefully: You Americans always say that you are equal, but those with more money and those with less money are absolutely unequal. The money is divided into two ends. One end has more money, and only 5% of the other end has less money. , but accounted for 25%.But no matter how much money there is or how little it is, the "money spenders" are unanimous across the country.The characteristic is that you can spend when you have money, and spend when you have no money to borrow money. Spending money is a kind of sickness, and it has become a feeling. Swipe everything you see, and become a "card-swiping maniac" in "Money Spending Maniac".The whole phenomenon is "consumerism", but actually it is "wastemania".When Veblen pointed out that you Americans have a tendency to show off your wealth, it was only a small-scale behavior of the rich. Now, what he calls "conspicuous consumption" (conspicuous consumption) has Evolved to show off to the whole people.Show off, show off, now there are two big problems: the first problem is that if showing off is only a behavior in the United States, it’s fine, and now it’s showing off to the world, showing off to the world; the second problem is: If showing off is only an act of the United States at its own expense, it will be fine. Now it has become "I show off, you pay the bill", and the whole world is actually asked to pay for you. Nixon: But countries other than the United States can also consume it. God Lee: How nice to say it.The United States accounts for 5% of the world's population, but consumes 30% of the world's energy.If the 1.3 billion Chinese population uses US standards, it will consume 140% of the world's total consumption.In other words, it is not enough for China to supply all the world's total consumption.May I ask what the situation is?The situation is: there are two, three, five Earths.You keep saying that democracy is the universal standard, and you have to play the human rights card and want others to be as democratic as you.Well, democracy is compared to the American style, so does the consumption of the world also follow the American style?It can't be said that democracy should be American-style, and enjoyment should be African-style, right? In May 2008, "Biofuels Digest" (Biofuels Digest) published a report, saying that the current food shortage in the world is caused by the fact that Chinese people eat too much meat!How wonderful, Americans can eat meat, but once the Chinese eat meat, Americans can't stand it.Do you want Nixon to have a "kitchen debate" (The "kitchendebate")?You want the Russians to have your American kitchen, but no meat? (Nixon shows embarrassment.) Bush: (Stand up) God Lee, please let me interject. These words are unfair. We, the United States, have made the world prosperous. Didn’t God Lee see that? God Lee: I see it.I see that you, the United States, are the most powerful buyers in the world, buying goods and services from all over the world; but you are also the most powerful sellers in the world, selling large amounts of banknotes and bonds printed by American printing presses.You, the United States, "borrow" an average of US$1 billion from the world every day, do you know that?Not counting the debts owed by your federal government and state government, your private household debt alone is at least 30 trillion.You comfort yourself and say that we can pay off by creating 10 trillion a year, that is, we can pay off in 3 years for nothing.But have you ever imagined that once you can't pay back the money and default on your debts, how many countries will do nothing for you for 30 years? Bush Jr.: So, we in the United States can't stop spending, we need to spend a lot of money, we can't go bankrupt.We still have to print— God Lee: (answering the call) Printing US dollars? Bush Jr.: (nods) Printing dollar bills. God Lee: Aren't you printing all the time?In fact, 2/3 of your dollar bills are printed for the whole world to see.2/3 of all U.S. bills are in circulation outside the United States, but you actually only circulate 1/3 in the United States, isn’t it? Bush: I know. God Lee: You really know?Just from the flood of dollar bills to the world, do you know how you will harm the world once it collapses?Do you know the horror of hyperinflation in America? Nixon: Can I generalize what God Lee meant?The United States is expanding in terms of the dollar; in terms of products, in terms of "American goods", is it shrinking? God Lee: The general direction is the same, but there is one exception to the "American goods", that is, "American weapons".Under the deformed symbiotic relationship of the "military-industrial complex", the United States, from the president to the common people, cannot break free or be willing to be an accomplice. Along the way, I, Wu Weiyang.As a result, what makes the United States unique today is the arms industry!Other "American goods" have shrunk. Nixon: Americans believe that even the "American" arms industry can make the United States prosperous for a while. God Lee: Really?Then how did you defeat the Vietnam War?During the Vietnam War, except for not dropping nuclear bombs, didn’t you send all the “American-made” munitions?What happened in the end?You said in a TV speech on November 3, 1969: Let us understand: North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States. Only Americans can do that. You claimed that North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States, except the Americans themselves. Is that so?You obliterate history too much.Similarly, in your second inaugural address on January 20, 1973, you boasted that "the four wars our nation has waged this century, including the one we are now waging and will soon end, were not motivated by personal gain but by It is to help the people of other countries resist aggression, let us be proud of this", and he is also talking nonsense with his eyes open. Nixon: But the Vietnam War did make it smaller by me. God Lee: To shrink or to expand?Don't forget you in 1969 and early 1970, you secretly bombed Cambodia.On April 30, 1970, you also issued a false statement saying: "Neither the United States nor South Vietnam attacked the enemy's sanctuary in Cambodia, because we did not want to invade the territory of a neutral country." How wonderful, you at the same time Use your upper lip and lower lip.In the tape, leave your order to Kissinger to bomb Cambodia. In the end, Kissinger transferred: "Large-scale bombing of Cambodia, as long as it can move, it will not be let go." You Americans, how fierce!And your Senate did not find out that you used bombs to love peace in Cambodia until 1973, three years later. Nixon: (Spreads hands together, expressing helplessness) This is war, and it is evil, beyond imagination. God Lee: Does it include the "Mylai Massacre" of March 16, 1968?You American soldiers shot hundreds of Vietnamese civilians, women, and children? Nixon: Later the lieutenant who took the lead was sentenced. God Lee: And then what?You intervened in this case, but these executioners did not go to jail. Six years later, in 1974, your US federal court overturned the court-martial verdict, and they were all released.What is the reason, tell me. Nixon: American soldiers are innocent. God Lee: They're scapegoats, aren't they?Your superiors ordered you to kill anyone you see, right? "As long as it can move, don't let it go", isn't it?You Americans keep saying that "911" killed innocent people. Is it true that Melai Village killed innocent people this time? You Americans like to bomb people and bury people with bulldozers. The innocent died, and the dead bodies were invisible, so you can't see it. Now, I can see Melai Village this time, what should I do?Is it indiscriminate killing of innocents? Nixon: (Embarrassed) Let's look at the problem from the end of the Vietnam War. On January 27, 1973, the Vietnam War ended.The Paris Agreement was signed, our American troops were withdrawn from Vietnam within 60 days of signing, North Vietnam released our 590 prisoners of war, and we had "Glorious Peace". God Lee: "Glorious"? "Peace"?In terms of glory, the Vietnam War caused more than 200,000 young people in the United States to refuse to be recruited, and more than 500,000 young people became deserters after enlisting in the army. Is this "glory"?In terms of peace, two years, three months and three days after the Paris Agreement, on April 30, 1975, your recipients who "helped the people of other countries resist aggression" unconditionally surrendered to the Communist Party of North Vietnam. When I got on the helicopter, what I saw was: an American hit the Vietnamese with a giant fist in the face. Is this "peace"? Nixon: At that time, I had been out of office for 8 months and 21 days. God Lee: That day was the day when the Vietnam War really ended. The United States fought the Vietnam War for 11 years, and it finally ended, and it ended under the condition that you sold your lackeys.You can no longer sing the domino theory of the three US presidents. Nixon: The Vietnam War is finally over. I, Nixon, followed the will of the people, the will of the Vietnamese and the will of the Americans. God Lee: On November 15th and 16th, 1969, 300,000 people demonstrated against the Vietnam War in Washington DC. How did you respond?You protect the White House with military police, then cross your legs and watch football on TV. Nixon: (wry smile) What can I do?God Lee doesn't know how incomprehensible we Americans are. They are swarming in everything, first agreeing and then opposing, fighting wars, he is also in favor, and he is also in opposition.After the Vietnam War was fought, the Americans got tired of fighting and clamored to go home and stop fighting, making troubles all day long.Those of us who are in charge cannot be so casual and withdraw our troops just like that.Don't forget, the US Congress, the American people, and the US press unanimously agreed to get involved in the Vietnam War. Later, it seemed that only our White House wanted to fight, which is really unreasonable. God Lee: You want "glorious peace", a glorious retreat? Nixon: I don't want it. Everyone wants to be President of the United States.For example, when President Bush Jr. fought Iraq, the public opinion in the United States was almost all in favor at that time, and the swarms came, and then the "Vietnam War Homecoming Syndrome" appeared, first agreeing and then opposing.This is the American people, the American public opinion. 上帝李：这倒很像你们开车时那种hit and run（闯了祸，就逃掉），你们在国内hit and run，在国外就fight and run。 尼克松：美国人喜欢打仗，却没有耐心，先是hit on all cylinders（竭尽全力），然后—— 上帝李：然后，hit below the belt（暗中伤人，做不公平攻击）。 尼克松：哦（苦笑）。 上帝李：然后，一如施德（Wilfrid Sheed）那句套用流行小说挖苦你的话：“Richard Nixon means never having to say you're sorry.”毁人不倦，无须抱歉。 尼克松：看我尼克松不能看得那么窄啊，也要看看我做的好事。 上帝李：如你有好事，没人会抹杀，但这是“最后审判”，重点是查你做的坏事。“最后审判”虽然审判国家的领导人，重点却不在领导人个人的罪的大小多少，而在由个人托身于美国所表现出的国家的恶、美国这个国家的恶。国家领导人个人的好坏，不是重点。例如你在智利支持大独裁者皮诺切特（Augusto Pinochet），迫害人权、颠覆民主、蹂躏经济，“最后审判”庭上，重点是审问美国这个国家干的坏事，不全是当时美国总统干的坏事。 尼克松：很不幸，智利事件发生在1973年9月11日，那时正在我任上。 上帝李：你们美国人老是为2001年的“911”死3000人而痛苦，抱怨死的是无辜，可曾想到1973年的智利“911”吗？前后两次，你们美国支持皮诺切特将军非法夺权、政变，无辜死的人，据后来的智利官方统计，第一次死了3197人。实际数字却是官方数字的两倍。以人口比例来算，事情如发生在美国，死亡数字就会高达10万；政变后30年，官方又出炉了一份调查报告，发现这段期间的酷刑高达3万件，以人口比例算，事情如发生在美国，酷刑数字就是70万。你们美国人能够反省反省吗？如果一个外国政府介入，支持你们的军事强人某某某某将军，用军事政变推翻了南半球最古老的民主政府，置原来合法总统于死地，并且造成5万人的死亡、70万人的遭受酷刑，并且自1973到1990，前后长达17年黑暗统治，你们美国人接受吗？ 尼克松：（摇头）碍难接受。 上帝李：我问问大家。让我选一个代表吧。请问里根总统（指着里根），你接受吗？ 里根：（站起来）我当然不接受、我们美国当然不接受。 上帝李：不接受，好的，那你们美国人为什么要智利人民接受，并且你里根还赞扬皮诺切特将军？ 里根：我有赞扬吗？ 上帝李：你忘了你和英国的撒切尔夫人一起赞扬的事了吗？ 里根：哦，我记起来了（坐下）。 上帝李：皮诺切特搞政变后，一路残民以逞，都靠你们CIA（中央情报局）协助，现在美国部分档案公布了、在协助皮诺切特黑暗统治17年的秘密档案公布了，虽然保留了美国领袖与情报单位，但是我们还是领教了很多，尤其是皮诺切特和阿根廷、巴拉圭、巴西、和玻利维亚等美国支持的国家独裁者们连手，以“兀鹰计划”追杀逃到国外的政敌，更属恶名昭彰，虽然美国1998年公布的档案遮掩得太多，但是我们仍可勾勒出蛛丝马迹。你们美国啊，再也不能以人权自由恶心人了。前后17年的皮诺切特专政，已经拆穿了美国的一切。尼克松总统啊，你记得美国幽默作家布赫瓦尔德（Art Buchwald）那段话吗？他说：“对尼克松，我着迷；对活埋尼克松的尘沙，我顶礼。”（I'm a fan of President Nixon. I worship the quick sand he walks on.） 尼克松：我这种政治人物的人生观是：When the going gets tough，the tough get going.（日子难混，就得玩命。） 上帝李：你这句话，是你的司法部长米歇尔（John Michell）在水门事件听证会上的证词，你们真是一丘之貉。Alright, leave the court (with a blow of the mallet, stand up). (The curtain falls.)
