I na hoa o ka ahaolelo
ʻO Federal Republic of Germany
Ke kākau nei au me ka manaʻolana e hana ʻoe i nā mea a pau e hiki ai ke hoʻōki i ka hoʻolālā o ke aupuni Kelemania e hoʻolilo iā Kelemania i aupuni killer-drone e like me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua maopopo iaʻu ʻo kēia hoʻolālā, e koho ʻia ma ka Bundestag ma ka hopena o Iune, e hoʻolimalima koke i nā drones mea kaua mai ka ʻIseraʻela mai…
Manaʻo wau e hana ʻoe i nā mea a pau āu e hiki ai i loko o ka Bundestag e wehe i ka pūʻali koa US mai nā kahua i Kelemānia. ʻO koʻu hopohopo nui me ka waihona ma Ramstein. He kuleana koʻikoʻi ʻo Ramstein i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke kaua drone US ma luna o nā lāhui he nui i kou hikina, me Afghanistan.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻike liʻiliʻi wau e pili ana i ka hana politika a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma Kelemania (he ʻāina aʻu i hoʻomanaʻo nui ai, ua noho wau ma ka pūʻali koa US Caserne ma Garmisch-Partenkirchen i nā makahiki kanawalu). Akā, ʻike wau ʻo Kelemania, mahalo i kona ʻano hoʻokipa i lilo i kukui no ka nui o nā ʻāina ʻē i nalowale i ko lākou mau home a me ko lākou ʻāina a me ke ola. E like me ka nui o nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika, mahalo wau i ka ʻimi ʻana o ka Bundestag i ka papahana drone US ma Kelemania e hoʻoulu ai i ka pilikia o ka poʻe mahuka honua.
Ua ʻike mākou ʻo ka US weaponized drone program e hōʻeha nei i kekahi mau ʻāina Mideast a me West Asia e alakaʻi ana i nā mea make he nui ʻole. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka drone MQ9 Reaper, i kapa lanakila ʻia ʻo "Hunter / Killer" e ka Pentagon, hoʻoweliweli i nā kaiāulu holoʻokoʻa ma nā ʻāina ʻaila Islam. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ʻano weliweli ke hāʻawi nei i ke kahe ʻana o ka poʻe mahuka mai kēlā mau lāhui i kēia manawa e kaomi nui nei i nā ʻīpuka o Kelemania a me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe kokoke a mamao.
Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au ʻo ke kaua drone US, ʻoiai ke akamai maʻalahi, he kūʻē kūʻē. ʻAʻole wale ia e alakaʻi i ka mea aʻu i kapa ai "ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka pale," akā aneane hiki ʻole ke alakaʻi i ka manaʻo maʻi nui i ka US a me ke Komohana ma ke ʻano. E loaʻa i kēlā huhū ke kani ʻana - blowback - no kēlā me kēia lāhui i manaʻo ʻia he hoa pili US.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kahi papahana pepehi kanaka / drone Kelemania e hoʻoulu ai i nā mea make ʻole i ʻike ʻole ʻia a hoʻoulu i ka inaina iā Kelemania ma nā wahi i kuhikuhi ʻia.
E nīnau paha ʻoe: ʻo wai kēia Ed Kinane e manaʻo nei e kamaʻilio iā ʻoe? I ka makahiki 2003, ua hoʻohana au i ʻelima mau mahina ma Iraq me Voices in the Wilderness (he NGO ka hapanui o ʻAmelika, ua kāohi ʻia i kēia manawa). Aia wau ma Bagdhad ma mua, i ka wā a ma hope o nā pule he nui o "Shock and Awe." ʻIke mua wau i ka hoʻoweliweli lewa ʻO nā hana a me nā hoʻouka kaua a ka Pentagon.
Ma 2009 i koʻu aʻo ʻana ua lilo ʻo Hancock Air Force Base - kokoke i kahi mamao o koʻu home ma Syracuse, New York - i lilo i hub no ka MQ9 Reaper drone attacks ma Afghanistan, ua haʻalulu au. Me nā mea ʻē aʻe ma Upstate New York ua manaʻo wau inā mākou (e noho kokoke ana i kēia hub no ka 174th hoouka ʻEheu o ka New York National Guard) mai ʻōlelo kūʻē kūʻē i kēia ʻano hilahila, makaʻuʻole, kānāwai ʻole, hoʻomāinoino i ke kaua, ʻo wai lā?
I loko o kāna mau hoʻoikaika pili aupuni e lanakila ma luna o ke kaiāulu kūloko, ua kaena ka luna Hancock i kā mākou nūpepa i kēlā me kēia lā (ka Syracuse). Kaulana ma hope, www.syracuse.com) ʻO ka mea hoʻokele mamao ʻo Hancock i hoʻohana i ka Reapers ma luna o Afghanistan "24/7." Hiki paha i ka Hancock Reaper ke hoʻouka i nā pahuhopu ma North Waziristan (inā ʻaʻole ma kahi ʻē aʻe) pū kekahi.
I ka makahiki 2010 ma New York State, ua hoʻokumu nā mea hoʻoikaika i ka Upstate Drone Action (i kekahi manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo Ground the Drones a hoʻopau i ka Wars Coalition). Ua ʻike nui mākou, e like me ka Post-World War Two Nuremburg Principles, ʻo mākou kēlā me kēia - ʻoi aku ka poʻe i waena o mākou i uku i ka ʻauhau federal - ke kuleana no nā hana a ko mākou aupuni. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopilikia kino i ka hana ʻino a ka Pentagon ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, ua ʻike mākou ma ka liʻiliʻi ma aneʻi hiki iā mākou ke kōkua i ka hōʻike ʻana i kēlā mau hana i ka lehulehu ...a kōkua e hoʻāla i ka manaʻo o nā limahana Hancock. He ʻōpio loa kēia mau limahana a noho i loko o kahi pūʻali koa, ʻoki ʻia mai ke kamaʻilio pololei ʻana me mākou.
Ma o ka hana kuʻuna activist - rallies, leafleting, letter and article writing, street theater, vigiling, lobbying our Congressional representatives, multi-day marches, etc. - Upstate Drone Action ua ʻimi e kaʻana like i ko mākou pilikia me ka lehulehu. Mai ka makahiki 2010, ua makaʻala kekahi lima o mākou ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alanui mai ka puka nui o Hancock i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻauinalā ma ka Poalua mua a me ke kolu o kēlā me kēia mahina. I nā makahiki mai ka makahiki 2010, ua pāpā mākou i ka puka nui o Hancock i ʻelua mau manawa. Ua alakaʻi ʻia kā mākou mau poloka paʻa pono ʻole i kaʻu a me ka 200 mau hopu ʻē aʻe. Ua alakaʻi kēia i nā hoʻokolokolo he nui a me kekahi mau paʻahao.
ʻAʻole ʻo Upstate Drone Action ʻo ia wale nō ka hui kaiaulu e kūʻē ana i ke kaua drone US. Ua kau ʻia nā hoʻolaha like ʻole ma Beale Airbase ma Kaleponi, Creech Airbase ma Nevada, a me nā kahua ʻē aʻe ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Me ke ʻano o ka hoʻomau mau ʻana i kēia mau hana pololei ke hoʻomau nei kēia mau hana pololei ʻoiai nā mākaʻi a me nā ho'āʻo hoʻokolokolo e pale iā mākou.
E hoʻomaopopo kākou: ʻo ka mea a mākou e hana nei, ʻaʻole ka hoʻokō kīwila, akā kūʻē kīwila. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole mākou hookuli ke kanawai; imi makou e hoʻokō ke kanawai. Ma ka nui o kā mākou mau hana pololei ke ho'āʻo nei mākou e hōʻike i "Nā Hoʻopiʻi o nā Kanaka" i ke kahua. Ma kēia mau palapala, ʻaʻole mākou e haʻi wale i nā Kumukānāwai Nuremburg, akā ʻo ka UN Charter a me nā kānāwai a me nā kuʻikahi ʻē aʻe a ka US i pūlima ai. Hoʻopuka pū mākou i ka Paukū ʻeono o ke Kumukānāwai o ʻAmelika e ʻōlelo nei ʻo kēia mau kuʻikahi ke kānāwai kiʻekiʻe loa o ko mākou ʻāina. ʻO ka poʻe i waena o mākou i hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻomana, ʻōlelo pū lākou i ke kauoha, "Mai pepehi kanaka ʻoe."
Ma koʻu noho ʻana a hana ma nā ʻāina Islam, ua hoʻoikaika pū ʻia au e kaʻu mea i ʻike ai ʻo ka Islamophobia o ke kulekele pūʻali koa US - e like me ka racism e hoʻopilikia nei i kā mākou hui kīwila. I kēia manawa, ʻo ka pahuhopu nui o ka US aerial terrorism ka poʻe a me nā kaiāulu a me nā wahi i ʻike ʻia he Islam.
Hiki iaʻu ke haʻi i nā helu e pili ana i ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka hoʻouka kaua drone. Hiki iaʻu ke helu i ka helu o kēlā mau hoʻouka kaua - e piʻi nui ana me kēlā me kēia pelekikena US hou (Bush/Obama/Trump). Hiki iaʻu ke hāʻawi i nā manaʻo o ka miliona o ka poʻe mahuka i hoʻoneʻe ʻia mai ko lākou kaiāulu wale nō, akā mai ko lākou mau lāhui. ʻOiaʻiʻo, waiho nā helu iaʻu i ka helu. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomaopopo iā lākou.
Akā, me ke kala ʻole no ka kākau ʻole ʻana iā ʻoe ma ka ʻōlelo Kelemānia, e ʻae mai iaʻu e haʻi i hoʻokahi kikokikona i waena o nā mea he nui (e nānā i ka bibliography pili i nā kumu ʻōlelo Pelekane) i kōkua i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i koʻu ʻike ʻana i ka drone scourge: ka ʻaoʻao 165 ʻo Stanford a me New York University. , "Living Under Drones: Make, Injury, and Trauma to Civilians from US Drone Practices in Pakistan" (2012). Paipai au iā ʻoe e ʻimi i kēia hōʻike hohonu kanaka akā paʻa paʻa ʻia ma http://livingunderdrones.org/.
Ke palapala aku nei au iā ʻoe i kēia lā, ʻaʻole me ka wikiwiki wale nō, akā me ka manaʻolana. Nui loa ka poʻe US - a me kā lākou mau ʻelele Congressional, me ka ʻole o ka pāʻina - e ʻike i nā kaua drone US ma ke ʻano he mea palekana ka US. ʻOiaʻiʻo ka mea kū'ē. ʻO koʻu manaʻolana ʻaʻole e hahai ʻo Kelemania i ke alakaʻi o ka Pentagon a e hoʻopau ʻo Kelemania i kāna hui ʻana i kēia manawa me ke kaua weliweli honua o kēlā hui. ʻO kēlā me kēia lāhui, ʻoi aku ka mana nui o ka nuclearized, nona nā ala e pepehi ai i kekahi kanaka a me kekahi alakaʻi i kēlā me kēia manawa, ma nā wahi āpau e hoʻonui ai i ka precarity honua a hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kona ʻuhane ponoʻī. ʻAʻole pono kēlā lāhui i nā hoa kōkua nāna e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kāna barbarity.
me ka manao pono,
