I kēia manawa, hoʻolilo ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻekolu hapahā o ka trillion kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma ka Pentagon. Hoʻolilo ka US i nā mea hou aku i ka militarism ma mua o ka hoʻohui ʻia o nā ʻāina he 10; ʻeono o lākou he poʻe aloha. Hoʻokaʻawale kēia kālā i nā hoʻolilo kālā e pili ana i ka pūʻali koa e like me nā mea kaua nukelea (DOE), Homeland Security, a me nā lilo ʻē aʻe he nui. Wahi a kekahi, ʻo ka nui o ka lilo ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US i $ 1.25 triliona / makahiki.
Kū mākou i ʻekolu mau pilikia o ka honua e hoʻoweliweli i nā poʻe āpau o nā lāhui āpau. ʻO lākou: ke aniau, nā pandemics a me nā hakakā kūwaho e alakaʻi nei i ke kaua nukelea kūkā a inadvertent paha. ʻO kēia mau mea hoʻoweliweli ʻekolu e hiki ke hao i kā mākou a me nā hanauna e hiki mai ana i ko mākou ola, ko mākou kūʻokoʻa, a me ka ʻimi ʻana i ka hauʻoli.
ʻO kekahi kumu nui o ke aupuni e hōʻoia i ka palekana a me ka palekana o kāna kamaʻāina. ʻAʻohe mea e hoʻopōʻino i ko mākou palekana a me ka palekana ma mua o kēia mau ʻōlelo hoʻoweliweli ʻekolu. ʻOiai lākou e ulu nei i kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻomau ka hana a kā mākou aupuni i nā ala e hōʻino ai i ko mākou palekana a me ka palekana e ke kaua ʻana i nā kaua wela a me ke anuanu e hōʻeha nui ai iā mākou mai ka haʻi ʻana i nā hoʻoweliweli nui.
ʻO ke $ 1.25 trillion kālā hoʻolālā makahiki he hōʻike ia o kēia kuhi hewa. Ke hoʻomau nei ko mākou aupuni i ka noʻonoʻo koa ʻoiai ʻo nā mea hoʻoweliweli nui loa i ko mākou palekana a palekana ʻo ia ka pūʻali koa ʻole. ʻAʻole kōkua kā mākou pūʻali koa bloated iā mākou i ke kaua ʻana i ka maʻi ahulau maikaʻi loa i nā makahiki he 100. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke pale iā mākou mai ka pōpilikia ākea nunui-dimensional a i ʻole mai ka luku nukilika. Ke pale nei ʻo Astronomical US i ke kaua a me ka militarism iā mākou mai ke kamaʻilio ʻana i nā pono kanaka a me ka honua e pono ai e ka nānā ʻana i kā mākou nānā, nā kumuwaiwai, a me nā taleni i nā mea hewa. I nā manawa a pau, ke hoʻopuka ʻia nei mākou e nā ʻenemi maoli.
Hoʻomaopopo ka hapanui o ka poʻe i kēia. Ke hōʻike nei nā noiʻi hou e makemake nei ka lehulehu o ka lehulehu i kahi kālā he 10 pakeneka i hōʻemi ʻia e ka palena 2-1. ʻOiai ma hope o ka hōʻemi ʻia he 10 pākēneka, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lilo o ka pūʻali koa US ma mua o kā Kina, Lūkia, ʻIrana, Saudi Arabia, Palani, Kelemania, United Kingdom a me Iapana i hui pū ʻia (India, Saudi Arabia, France, Kelemania, UK, a ʻo Iāpana nā mea kōkua).
ʻAʻole pale aku nā missiles, nā jets fighter a me nā mea kaua nukelea iā mākou mai nā pandemics a i ʻole ka pilikia o ke aniau; ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi mai ka hoʻoweliweli o ka luku ʻana i kaukila. Pono mākou e hoʻoponopono i kēia mau mea hoʻoweliweli ma mua o ka lohi.
ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo hou e alakaʻi i ka lawena hou ma ke ʻano he kanaka a me kahi hui like me kahi kaiāulu. Ke maopopo a komo i loko o nā mea hoʻoweliweli nui loa i ko mākou ola ʻana, pono mākou e hoʻololi i ke ala a mākou e noʻonoʻo ai a hana ai e like me. ʻO ke ala wale nō e hoʻoponopono ai i kēia mau hoʻoweliweli honua ma o ka hana ākea; ʻo ia hoʻi ka hana pū ʻana me nā lāhui āpau. ʻAʻole lawelawe ka paradigm o ka huhū kūwaho a me ka hakakā iā mākou (inā ua holo).
I kēia manawa ma mua o ka manawa, pono ka US e piʻi i luna a alakaʻi i ka honua i ka maluhia, kaulike, a me ka hoʻomau. ʻAʻole hiki i kahi lāhui ke kamaʻilio wale i kēia mau hoʻoweliweli. ʻO ka US he 4 wale nō ka pākēneka o ko ka honua heluna kanaka. Pono kā mākou mau luna i koho ʻia e aʻo e hana hana me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ana i ka 96 pākēneka o ko ka honua heluna. Pono lākou e kamaʻilio (a hoʻolohe), hoʻokomo, hoʻopili, a kūkā me ka manaʻoʻiʻo. Pono lākou e komo i loko o nā kuʻikahi hōʻoia ākea no ka hōʻemi a me ka hopena o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o nā mea kaua nukelea, no ka pāpā ʻana i ka militarization o kahi ākea, a no ka pale ʻana i ka cyber-warfare ma mua o ke komo ʻana i nā lāhui hoʻoweliweli a ʻoi aku ka hoʻoweliweli. Pono lākou e hōʻoia i nā kuʻikahi ākea a nā lāhui ʻē aʻe i kau inoa ai ʻāpono ai.
ʻO ka laulima kūwaho ka ala ʻoiaʻiʻo wale i mua. Inā ʻaʻole e hele kā mākou mau luna i koho ʻia ma kā lākou iho, pono mākou e hoʻokuʻi iā lākou ma o kā mākou mau balota, ko mākou leo, ko mākou kūpaʻa, a me kā mākou hana kipi ʻole.
Ua hoʻāʻo ko mākou lāhui i ka militarism pau ʻole a me ke kaua a loaʻa iā mākou nā hōʻike he nui o kāna mau hemahema he nui. ʻAʻole like ka honua. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hopena o ka halihali a me ke kālepa. Hoʻoweliweli ʻia mākou āpau e ka maʻi, e ka pōʻino o ke aniau, a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka nuklea; ka mea mahalo ʻole i nā palena ʻāina.
Hōʻike maopopo ke kumu a me ka ʻike ʻaʻole lawelawe kā mākou ala o kēia manawa iā mākou. Makaʻu paha ia i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻanuʻu kānalua mua ma kahi ala ʻike ʻole. Pono mākou e loaʻa ka koa e hoʻololi no ka mea ʻo nā mea āpau a mākou e aloha ai a me nā mea āpau a mākou e aloha nui ai e holo ana i ka hopena. Kani aʻe nā huaʻōlelo a Kauka King 60 mau makahiki ma hope o kāna hoʻopuka ʻana iā lākou ... e aʻo mākou e noho pū me he mau hoahānau (a he mau kaikuahine) a make pū paha me he naʻaupō.
ʻO John Miksad ka mea hoʻonohonoho mokuna me World Beyond War (worldbeyondwar.org), kahi neʻe honua e hoʻopau i nā kaua āpau, a me kahi mea kākau no PeaceVoice, kahi papahana o ka Oregon Peace Institute i holo aku ma waho o ke Kulanui o Portland State ma Portland, Oregon.
