Pukaʻia mai ʻO nā Radicals: nā War Resisters ma loko o ka Hale Paahao na CJ Hinke, e hele mai ana mai Trine-Day i 2016.
ʻO nā laina o ke kū'ē i ke kaua he nui nā ʻano e like me kēia mau moʻolelo o ka poʻe kūʻē i loko o ka hale paʻahao i ke Kaua Honua I ("The Great War", "ke kaua e hoʻopau i nā kaua āpau") a me II ('ke kaua maikaʻi"), ke Kaua Cold, ʻO ka "conflict" Korea i haʻi ʻole ʻia, ʻo ka 'Red Scare' o ka manawa McCarthy, nā 1960s a, ʻo ka hope, ke kaua US me Vietnam, hōʻike. Nui nā kumu a me nā ala e hōʻole ai i ke kaua e like me ka poʻe hōʻole. Ua hoʻokaʻawale ka 'Oihana Hoʻokolokolo i ka poʻe kū'ē i ka WWII ma ke ʻano he hoʻomana, morale, economic, political, neurotic, naturalistic, professional pacifist, philosophical, sociological, internationalist, personal and Jehovah's Witness.
No ke aha i ala a ʻike ai kekahi, no ke aha i manaʻo nui ai kekahi i ko lākou lunamanaʻo ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke haʻalele? E like me kā AJ Muste i hoʻolaha ai, "Inā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke aloha iā Hitler, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke aloha." No ke aha i komo ʻole ai kēlā ʻuhane i loko o kākou a pau? ʻO ka hapa nui o mākou ua pani ʻole i ka leo o ko mākou noʻonoʻo pilikia i mea e maʻalahi ai ko mākou ola. Ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo nei au iā ʻoe, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka honua inā e aʻo mākou a pau i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i kāna mau haʻalulu.
ʻO ke kumu i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Resistance e kūʻē i ka hoʻolālā ʻo ia ka hoʻolohe ʻana o nā hālāwai i kēlā me kēia. Ua aʻo ʻia kēia maʻalahi ma vivo mai Quakers, SNCC, a me CNVA. Ua hana ʻo Resistance ma muli o kāna kūpaʻa paʻa i ka ʻae kumu. Nui ka poʻe o mākou—(ʻaʻole pāʻani maikaʻi me nā mea ʻē aʻe)—ua hele i mua e noʻonoʻo i kā mākou mau hana ponoʻī no ka huhū i kēia hana lōʻihi a paʻakikī. I kekahi manawa ua hui pū kekahi me mākou e ʻike i kona waiwai a i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole lākou. Inā he "alakaʻi" o The Resistance, ʻaʻole au i hālāwai me kekahi!
ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka ʻae ʻana akā hana ia. ʻO ka ʻae ʻana he kaʻina hana ma mua o ka hopena. ʻAʻole lanakila ka manaʻo ma ka filibuster. Hana pololei ʻo Consensus e like me ka hana ʻole ʻana o ka hapa nui a me ke koho balota. Hoʻopau ʻia ke koho pāloka me kahi hui nui ʻole o nā mea koho. Makemake maoli ʻoe e koho balota no ka lua o ka maikaʻi loa, ka holo ʻana, ka waha ʻai, ka ʻōlelo wahaheʻe?!?
ʻO ka ʻae ʻana he ʻike. He kūʻē ke koho balota. Hoʻokumu ka ʻae ʻana i ke kaiāulu. ʻO ke koho pāloka ka mea e ʻenemi, hana i waho. No laila e hoʻolohe wale nō.
He nui ka poʻe ma kēia honua a he manaʻo maikaʻi paha wau. Akā i loko o kahi kaiāulu kūpono, e hoʻoholo ana mākou a pau ma o ka democracy participatory ma mua o ka disenfranchisement koʻikoʻi ma ke kumu o ka koho balota.
Ma waena o nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe, ua manaʻo ka Resistance e hoʻohana i ka manaʻo kānāwai Judæo-Christian a me Mediæval kahiko o ka hale hoʻāno - kahi wahi palekana, kahi puʻuhonua - i ka poʻe haʻalele i ka pūʻali koa a me ka poʻe kūʻē huki ma lalo o ka hoʻopiʻi. ʻO kekahi o nā mea mua i wehe i kona mau puka no ka hale kapu ʻo Washington Square Methodist Church, kahi home o ka Greenwich Village Peace Center.
ʻOi aku ma mua o 500 mau hale pule ma kahakai a hiki i kahakai, ʻo ia hoʻi nā Lutherans, United Church of Christ, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Jewish, Unitarian Universalists, Quakers, Mennonites, a me kekahi mau kulanui, ua hōʻike pū lākou iā lākou iho he mau wahi palekana. ʻO ka hopu ʻana i ka poʻe kūʻē kaua ma kahi hoʻāno he kiʻi ʻoluʻolu.
ʻO kekahi hana ʻē aʻe i hoʻoikaika nui iā mākou ʻo ka luku ʻana i nā faila papa kiʻi i hiki ʻole ke hoʻokomo i nā koa. Ua ukali ʻia e ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā moʻolelo ʻoihana no ka poʻe waiwai waiwai nui e like me Dow Chemical, nā mea hana napalm, a me General Electric, ka mea hana i nā ʻāpana poma. E hoʻomanaʻo, inā hiki iā ʻoe, he mau makahiki kēia ma mua o ka hana kamepiula; me ka ʻole o kēlā mau faila, ʻaʻole hiki ke hānai ʻia ka ʻiʻo i loko o ka ʻōpū o ka mīkini kaua.
Hoʻopaʻa ʻo Staughton Lynd i ka liʻiliʻi o 15 mau hana e kūʻē i nā papa kikoʻī a me nā hui kaua mai 1966-1970 i hopena i ka luku ʻia mai kahi mau haneli a ʻoi aku ma mua o 100,000 mau moʻolelo. I ka makahiki 1969, ʻaʻole i hoʻopau wale ka Women Against Daddy Warbucks i nā faila kikoʻī akā ua wehe ʻia nā kī '1' a me 'A' mai New York draft board office typewriters no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke haʻi ʻia nā mea kākau kiʻi kūpono no ka hana.
ʻO Jerry Elmer, Esq., he makahiki koʻu ʻōpio e hōʻole e kākau inoa, hiki iā ia ke paʻa i ka moʻolelo no kēia hana. Ua ʻaihue ʻo ia i 14 mau papa kikoʻī ma ʻekolu mau kūlanakauhale! Ua lilo ʻo Jerry i mea hoʻopaʻi hewa wale nō ʻo Harvard Law School ma ka papa o 1990.
Hāʻawi ka Pūnaewele i kahi honua hou o nā manawa kūpono no ka poʻe hoʻoikaika ʻole, me ka launa pū me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe no ka hana ma ka honua maoli. Pono ka hana ʻino i nā kamepiula a hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau maʻalahi i nā kaʻina hana o ka hewa a me ka manaʻo. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻawale i ka ʻōnaehana me ka ʻole e haʻalele i ka moe.
Mai ka makahiki 2010, aia nā kāmaʻa ʻAmelika ma ka honua i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Turkey, Yemen, Somalia, Uganda, Chad, ka Central African Republic, Sudan, a me Mali. ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli i ka palekana aupuni o ʻAmelika ke kumu i hāʻawi ʻia. E makau. E makau loa. Ua haʻi mai ko mākou "aliʻi nui" iā ʻAmelika "ʻo ka pūʻali koa nui loa i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua"—a he mea maikaʻi kēlā?!?
Ma 2015, e hoʻolilo ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i 741 biliona kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki no kāna mau pōʻino pūʻali koa i kēia manawa - $ 59,000 i hoʻokahi minuke - ʻehā a me ka hapa i kāna mea hoʻokūkū kokoke loa, ʻo Kina. ʻAʻohe ʻāina ʻē aʻe e kokoke mai. ʻAʻole naʻe i hoʻokomo kēia helu i ka ʻaiʻē no nā hoʻolimalima kaua i hala. Ma nā mea a pau, 54% o ka waihona kālā US i hoʻohana ʻia i ke kaua, 4.4% o kā mākou Gross Domestic Product, 73 keneta o kēlā me kēia kālā US. He parasite ka pūʻali koa o ʻAmelika.
He trillion a me ka hapalua dala. E noʻonoʻo i nā mea maikaʻi a pau o ka honua i hiki ke hana i ka nui o ke kālā. Makemake mākou e luku a puni ka honua a hoʻopau i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. No ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i kēia, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o 1/10 o ka pūʻali koa US, $62.6 biliona, e hoʻolako i kēlā me kēia kula kiʻekiʻe ʻAmelika no ka manuahi!
Inā nānā kekahi i ka mōʻaukala, he maʻalahi ke hoʻopilikia ʻia no ka mea ʻo ka mōʻaukala ka moʻolelo o ke kaua. ʻOiai ua luku ʻia ʻo 619 miliona mau kānaka, ʻaʻohe kaua i ka mōʻaukala lōʻihi o ke kanaka ʻaʻole i "lanakila" ʻia e ka attrition ma mua o hope.
Hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā kauā ʻeleʻele a loaʻa i ka liʻiliʻi o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka "kaulike" i ʻike ʻia ma ke kenekulia 21st inā ʻaʻole i pepehi nā kaikunāne ʻAmelika ʻōpio a me nā hoalauna i kekahi i ke kaua koko loa o ʻAmelika i nā manawa āpau, ʻo ke Kaua Kivila US?
Hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo ʻaʻole i hāʻule ke aupuni imperialist Nazi o Kelemania iā ia iho? ʻO ka papa hea e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻeha, kali a luku paha?
ʻOiai ʻo ke Kumukānāwai o ʻAmelika e koi i ka ʻaha kūkā e haʻi i ke kaua, e like me ka mea i hala aku nei, ʻo ka 1973 War Powers Resolution, ʻaʻole ia i hana pēlā mai ke Kaua Honua II. No laila, ka hoʻouka kaua unilateral i hana ʻia e ka pūʻali koa US i Korea; Wiekanama; Laosa; Kamabodia; Gerenada; Panama; ʻO Iraq a me Kuwait ("Desert Storm"); Afghanistan ("Enduring Freedom"); ʻO Iraq ("Iraqi Freedom") he mau kaua kū kānāwai. ʻO nā kaua hoʻoweliweli ʻo ʻAmelika he mea ʻole ia ma mua o nā kaua weliweli. Hele mai lākou i kahi kumukūʻai kanaka weliweli, ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā ke kumu kūʻai nei ʻo ʻAmelika i $ 14 miliona i hoʻokahi hola. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻopā wale aku au i nā mea kiʻekiʻe - aia he mau haneli mau hana kaua liʻiliʻi ma nā aupuni mōʻī. Kāhea lākou i kēia mau hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni koa, kahi e make ai nā kānaka maoli ma luna o ke kahua.
E like me kā Noam Chomsky i ʻōlelo ai, "Inā hoʻohana ʻia nā kānāwai Nuremberg, a laila ua kau ʻia kēlā me kēia pelekikena ʻAmelika ma hope o ke kaua."
ʻAʻole paha wau e paʻakikī loa iā ʻAmelika, akā, ʻo koʻu ʻāina. I loko o nā makahiki ʻeono o ka mōʻaukala kanaka i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēlā mōʻaukala kanaka i ka huina nui o 300 mau makahiki o ka maluhia! Akā, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pololei kēlā kaua…
Ua hoʻokumu ke Kumukānāwai ʻAmelika i kahi ʻōnaehana maikaʻi no ka mālama ʻana i nā mana aupuni, nā loiloi a me nā koena mai nā lālā ʻekolu o ke aupuni. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke Aupuni US ma waho o ka mālama ʻole ʻia a kaulike ʻole. Ua noho ʻo ʻAmelika ma mua o 235 mau makahiki; i loko o ia manawa a pau, ua ʻike mākou he 16 mau makahiki o ka maluhia! Ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia kaua o ʻAmelika he mau kaua hakakā a kūʻē i ka manaʻo hoʻoholo ponoʻī i manaʻo ʻia ʻaʻole no ka pono aupuni o ʻAmelika.
ʻO nā kula, nā pāʻina male, a me nā huakaʻi hoʻolewa kā mākou mea kūikawā. E hoʻomanaʻo i ka "pacification"? He lāhui mākou me ʻekolu mau papa inoa pepehi kanaka ʻokoʻa no nā mea pepehi kanaka i hoʻoholo ʻia ma ka "Terror Tuesdays". ʻO kāu ʻAmelika kēia? ʻAʻole wale nā koa US i nā mea hoʻoweliweli i nā kamaʻāina maʻamau akā nā mea pepehi kanaka me ka ʻole o ka ʻae ʻia. ʻO ka hoʻāʻo waika no ke kaua ʻo ia ke noʻonoʻo i kona hoʻololi ʻana, ke kaua mai nei iā mākou, ma ka home.
E haʻi mai iaʻu, e ʻoluʻolu, he aha nā kaua "maikaʻi"? ʻAʻole nā kānaka kālai'āina a me kā lākou mau keiki kāne he mau koa. Pehea ka lōʻihi o ke kaua inā e hakakā nā senators 80 makahiki mai nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua?!? E like me nā hakakā gladiatorial. E lawe mai i ka Hunger Games no ka 1%!
I nā makahiki he mau makahiki mai ke kaua ʻana o ʻAmelika iā Vietnam, ua emi ka nui o ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka poʻe hōʻole naʻauao ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei nā koi no ka hoʻopaʻa inoa Selective Service. Ua lanakila hoʻi ke aupuni US i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻolaha ākea a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka maluhia e kūʻē i kāna mau kaua i kapa ʻia ʻo "terrorism" ma loko a ma waho.
ʻO ke kaua wale nō ka hoʻoweliweli me ka nui o ka waihona kālā.
Eia naʻe, ke kākoʻo ikaika nei ka War Resisters League i nā mea hōʻole pūʻali koa me ka Center on Conscience and War. Kākoʻo pū ʻo War Resisters 'International a me ka Peace Pledge Union ma United Kingdom i nā mea kūʻē kūʻē honua a kākau i nā hihia o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka pūʻali koa ma nā ʻāina he ʻumikūmākahi, ʻo Armenia, Eritrea, Finland, Greece, Israel, Russia, Serbia a me Montenegro, South Korea, Switzerland. , Thailand, Tureke a me USA.
Pono kēlā me kēia kanaka e nīnau iā lākou iho i ka nīnau seminal, "He aha ka mea e make ai?" no ka mea, ʻaʻohe mea e pono ke pepehi ʻia. ʻO ka hapa nui, ʻelima wale nō pakeneka o nā kānaka i pepehi i kekahi. Ua ʻike nā kānaka a pau i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka pono a me ka hewa: ua paʻakikī nā kānaka a ua hoʻolālā ʻia ʻaʻole e pepehi. Hoʻohuli ke kaua i nā koa i loko-waho, ma ke ʻano maoli a me ke kiʻi.
ʻO nā pūʻali koa o ka honua ma luna o ka hoʻomāinoino a me ka holoi ʻana i ka lolo i nā koa ʻōpio e lanakila i ko lākou ʻano ʻaʻole e pepehi ma ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā ʻōpio ʻē aʻe he "ʻenemi". Hoʻololi ke kaua i ke koa ma ke ʻano he cipher a laila he mea make. ʻO ka hopena ʻaneʻane he kāne a wahine paha i pōʻino loa. 22 US veterans pepehi kanaka i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻoi aku ma mua o 8,000 i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ʻAmelika iā lākou a hoʻolei aku iā lākou. ʻAʻole wale i mālama ʻole ʻia, kokoke i 60,000 mau poʻe kahiko ʻaʻohe home.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, hana mākou i kā mākou "ʻenemi" mai ka mea ʻole, ma ke ʻano pilikino a ma ke kulekele aupuni. ʻO ka manaʻo koʻikoʻi, noʻonoʻo: oki i ka nānā ʻana i nā "mea ʻē aʻe" he ʻenemi! Kūkākūkā, kamaʻilio, kūkākūkā, kūkākūkā, hoʻopaʻapaʻa, conciliation, maluhia, hoʻolauna i nā hoaaloha mai nā "ʻenemi".
ʻO nā huaʻōlelo i pili i ke kaua, nā "lanakila" a me nā "loiloi" hiki ke hoʻohana like i ka lumi hoʻokolokolo. ʻO ka pōma atomika a me ka hoʻopaʻi make ʻo ia ka manaʻo o ke aupuni no ka lanakila. ʻO nā kaua a me nā hale paʻahao ʻaʻole ia he hopena mau loa no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i hāʻule i ka hoʻāʻo maʻamau o ke aloha no kekahi kanaka. ʻAʻohe kaua a ʻaʻohe hoʻopaʻi paʻahao i loaʻa i kahi hopena mau no nā pilikia o ke kaiāulu. ʻO ke kaua a me ka hale paʻahao, ʻo ia wale nō nā wili wāwae e pau ana i nā turnstiles.
ʻO ka wahine mua i koho ʻia i ka ʻAhaʻōlelo o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i ka makahiki 1916, ua haʻi ʻo Jeanette Pickering Rankin ma mua o ke komo ʻana o US i ke Kaua Honua I: "ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lanakila i ke kaua ma mua o ka lanakila ʻana i ke olai." Pono mākou e makemake hou i kēia ʻano manaʻo - ʻaʻole i kau ʻia ke koho balota wahine piha a hiki i ka makahiki 1920.
ʻO ʻAmelika pū kekahi i alakaʻi honua i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea kaua, me nā pū, nā mea kaua, nā missiles, drones, nā mokulele kaua, nā kaʻa kaua, nā moku a me nā submarines, nā ʻōnaehana uila, a me nā mea hou aku. Hoʻohana ʻia ka 2.7% o ka waiwai nui o ka honua i nā mea kaua; akā naʻe, ʻaneʻane ʻelima pākēneka ka māhele US GDP. Loaʻa ʻo ʻAmelika i 711 biliona kālā ma ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mea kaua, 41% o ka nui o ka honua a, e like me ka hoʻolilo pūʻali koa, ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻehā mau manawa o kāna mea hoʻokūkū kapitala kokoke loa, ʻo Kina. Ke kūʻai aku nei ʻo ʻAmelika i nā mea kaua antipersonnel, cluster bombs a me nā ʻāina ʻāina i kekahi ʻāina me ke kālā a kāhea aku i kāna mau drones "Hunter-Killers", kā lākou palupalu (heluhelu kanaka) i hoʻoholo ʻia e "kaʻike koa". Pop quiz: ʻO wai ka ʻāina e pono ai ka hoʻopaʻi waiwai?
Ma mua o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua haʻi ʻo Pelekikena Roosevelt, "Ua hiki mai ka manawa e lawe ai i ka waiwai mai ke kaua." Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pelekikena Eisenhower, he mea hoʻohanohano o ke Kaua Honua II, i kona lā hope loa ma ke keʻena, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e pili ana i "kahi pūʻali koa-industrial-congressional complex", e hoʻopili ana i nā pūʻali koa me nā hui a me nā kālai'āina.
Malia paha ua hiki i nā alakaʻi ke hoʻopau i kēia ʻano luku i ka makahiki 1961; aka, ua hoohana lakou ia mea no ka waiwai. Ke pōmaikaʻi nei ʻo ʻAmelika i ka ʻeha o ka poʻe i hoʻopilikia ʻia i kēia kālepa ʻino. Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i nā lā palmier i hāʻawi aku ai ʻo ʻAmelika i nā kōkua haole a me nā kōkua pōʻino i nā ʻāina ʻilihune a lawe aku i ka hoʻonaʻauao a me nā limahana no ka hoʻomohala ʻana. I kēia manawa, lawe wale mākou i ka luku.
ʻEiwa mau lāhui i kēia manawa he ʻāpana o ka "club" nuklea e hoʻolimalima ana ma luna o $ 100 biliona ma nā mea kaua nuklea i kēlā me kēia makahiki. He mau poʻo kaua ʻē aʻe ʻo Rūsia ma mua o ka USA (8,500/7,700) akā ke paʻahana nei i ke kūʻai ʻana aku i kāna mau plutonium cores e hoʻoikaika i nā reactor nuklea.
ʻOi aku ka ikaika o ka hoʻolālā nuklea o ʻAmelika, e hoʻolilo ana i ʻewalu piliona, 600 miliona mau kālā no ka mālama ʻana i nā nukes i ka mākaukau i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua kākau ʻo Obama i kāna ʻatikala kiʻekiʻe ma Columbia e pili ana i ka heihei lima a me kahi hoʻokuʻu nuklea. Eia naʻe, ʻo kāna kālā 2015 e pili ana i ka mālama, hoʻolālā, a me ka hana ʻana i nā mea kaua nuklea, ʻo ia ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa, ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ʻehiku pakeneka ma 2016. elua Kakauolelo Aupuni.
Ua mālama ʻo ʻAmelika i nā nukes i hoʻomākaukau ʻia ma South Korea mai ka liʻiliʻi loa o 1958. I ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o North Korea ma 2013, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ʻAmelika e pāʻani i ka moa me lākou. A loaʻa iā ʻIseraʻela ka pōkā—yikes!
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole mākou i luku i nā ola āpau ma ka Honua, ʻaʻole ia he hopena o ka moʻomeheu kiʻekiʻe a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻa kālaiʻāina—he pōʻino laki ia… ʻO ʻApelika Hema wale nō ka ʻāina i kūkulu i nā mea kaua nuklea a laila hoʻopau loa iā lākou. Ke pāʻani hou nei ʻo ʻAmelika i ko mākou ola ma o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i $ 100 biliona e kūkulu i nā ʻauwaʻa hou o Trident nuklea submarines, i hōʻano hou ʻia mai nā subs kahi i hopu ʻia ai au ma Groton.
Hoʻohana mau ʻia nā hale paʻahao me ka manaʻo ʻino; he manu kupapaʻu—ʻai lākou i ke kino o nā mea make e ola ana. Kalepa na halepaahao i ka poino. E like me nā kaua, ʻo nā hale paʻahao he mau mea hoʻopaʻi maʻalahi, ka antithesis o ka moʻomeheu kanaka. ʻAʻole hiki i ka mea hewa ke hana hewa hou no ka manawa i paʻa ai ʻo ia.
ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene ʻo ka noho paʻa ʻana o ka lehulehu o ka hale paʻahao US, ma kahi o 250,000 mau pio, mai 1930 a 1960. ʻO ke kaua wale nō, ʻaʻole i emi iki ka luku ʻana i ke kaiāulu ma mua o nā kaua kaua me nā mea kaua, ua hoʻonui ʻia kēlā mau helu no ka US e lilo i hale paʻahao nui loa ma ka moʻolelo o ka honua - ke kaua ma luna o nā lāʻau lapaʻau. I ka makahiki 2010, aia he 13 miliona mau kānaka i hopu ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa; ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻonui wale ʻia kēlā helu. ʻAʻole hiki i kahi 500,000 o kēia mau mea i hoʻopiʻi ʻia ke uku i ka bail a i ʻole ka uku hoʻopaʻi a noho paʻa.
A aia he 140,000 ʻAmelika e lawelawe ana i nā hoʻopaʻi ola, 41,000 o lākou me ka ʻole o ka parole. E like me ka ʻōlelo a ke poʻo o nā mākaʻi malu o Stalin, "E hōʻike mai iaʻu i ke kanaka a naʻu e hōʻike iā ʻoe i ka hewa." Ua hoʻokumu ke aupuni i ke ʻano o ka makaʻu lehulehu, lulu ʻia i nā ʻanoʻano pono mākou e pale ʻia e…ka paʻa ʻana i nā kānaka a hoʻolei aku i ke kī.
ʻO James V. Bennett ka luna hoʻomalu o ke aupuni US no 34 makahiki. Ua hoʻopiʻi nā CO iā Bennett. He mau manawa ʻoi aʻe kēia, i ka wā i hoʻāʻo liʻiliʻi ai nā hale paʻahao i ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana a me ka hoʻonaʻauao. I kēia lā, he 38,000 mau limahana o ka Bureau.
ʻO ka hale paʻahao o kēia lā he ʻoihana hana kauā e hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā miliona no nā hui kālepa lehulehu e like me ka Orwellian-sounding Corrections Corporation o ʻAmelika, ka GEO Group, a me nā Hale Hoʻonaʻauao Kaiāulu. Ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, hoʻokaʻawale ke aupuni i nā mea make e ola ana me nā hale paʻahao pilikino, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kālā kālā mai ka Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, ma nā wahi mamao loa mai ka ʻohana a me ke kaiāulu o ka paʻahao.
ʻO nā hale paʻahao US i kēia lā e paʻa ana i 2.6 miliona mau pio i loko o nā hale paʻahao ʻoi aku ma mua o 4,500 i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a me ka hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi ʻekolu. ʻO kēia helu he 25% o nā pio a pau i hui pū ʻia. He 700,000 ka nui o nā pio o ka US ma mua o Kina, he ʻāina me ʻehā mau kānaka. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe hoʻomāinoino ʻōnaehana maʻamau, ʻo ka hana ʻino lāhui ka hopena. ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia no nā paʻahao ma kekahi ʻāina ʻē aʻe, i ka makahiki 2012 wale nō he 216,000 mau hanana i hōʻike ʻia i ka hoʻopaʻahao hale paʻahao, 10% o nā paʻahao US āpau. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia ka hapa nui.
Ke hoʻopaʻi ʻia nei nā paʻahao ʻAmelika i kā lākou pono kīwila e like me ke koho balota. Ma kahi o ʻehiku miliona ʻAmelika aia ma lalo o kekahi ʻano o ka 'hoʻoponopono' kiaʻi. ʻO ia ka 2.9% o nā ʻAmelika a pau, ʻo ka helu nui loa o nā kamaʻāina kīnā ʻole i ka mōʻaukala, ma nā wahi āpau. ʻO 75% ka poʻe lawehala ʻole. 26 miliona mau kānaka i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka mariuana!
Hoʻohui ʻia i kēia pōʻino kanaka, ua hopu ʻia ʻo 34,000 e ka US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) squads ma ke ʻano he "alien" ʻole i kēlā me kēia lā, hōʻole ʻia ke kaʻina hana i hōʻoia ʻia e ke Kumukānāwai US.

ʻO ka hana a ke alakaʻi e kūpono iā Nazi Adolf Eichmann, ʻo ia ka luna hoʻomalu o ka pūnaewele gulags aupuni o Reich. ʻO Samuels, e like me Eichmann, ke alakaʻi nei i kahi ʻoihana kānāwai o ka ʻuhane ʻole. ʻO nā bureaucrats ʻelua e hahai haʻahaʻa i nā kauoha, ka mea a Hannah Arendt i kapa ai ʻo "ka banality o ka hewa".

E like me kā Roy Kepler pacifist radical i ʻike ai e pili ana i nā CO i loko o ka hale paʻahao, “… Ua kōkua lākou i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka pūnaewele pacifist.

ʻAʻohe hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi aʻe o kēia ma mua o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o Obama ma lalo o nā slogans, "Hope" a me "Change".
