Ua hopohopo nui kahi hui o nā mea hoʻouluulu me nā hui maluhia ma Western NC i ke aʻo ʻana i nā hoʻolālā e Pratt & Whitney (P&W), kahi lālā o ka mea ʻaelike pūʻali koa Raytheon Technologies, e hana i nā ʻenekini jet ma 100 mau eka o ka ʻāina laulaha ma ka muliwai Palani Broad i hāʻawi ʻia. iā lākou no $ 1 kālā na Biltmore Farms, LLC ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kahi hana huna.
Hana ʻo P&W i nā ʻenekia kīwila, kālepa a me nā pūʻali koa no nā mokulele, e like me ka F-35. Ma hope ua aʻo ʻia ʻo 20% o ka hana ʻana i ka mea kanu i manaʻo ʻia no nā ʻenekini pūʻali koa. ʻO Raytheon ʻo ia ka lua o nā ʻoihana pale kaua ākea nui loa ma ka honua, ke loaʻa nei ka waiwai mai aneane ʻelua mau makahiki o ke kaua ma Afghanistan a me ʻIraka, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea lako kaua nui loa i Saudi Arabia, ke alakaʻi nei i ke kaua genocidal kūʻē i ka poʻe Yemen.
Ua kūkākūkā ʻo P&W me nā luna kalana no hoʻokahi makahiki, eia naʻe ua hoʻolaha wale ʻia ka huakaʻi i ka lehulehu ʻOkakopa 22, 2020. Ua koho ʻia ke komisina kalana ʻo Buncombe e koho ma $ 27 miliona no ka haʻalele ʻana i ka ʻauhau waiwai no hoʻokahi miliona kapuaʻi kuea $ 160 miliona. Kūkulu ʻo P&W i kona hālāwai ma Nowemapa 17, 2020.
Ua hōʻike ʻo ka loio WBW kūloko ʻo Laurie Timmermann i kahi ʻōlelo waha he 3 mau minuke i ka hālāwai, a waiho i nā manaʻo i kākau ʻia i ke Komikina o Buncombe County, ma lalo.
Nowemapa 17, 2020
E nā Komisina Kalana ʻo Buncombe:
Ma ke ʻano manawaleʻa kūloko me World BEYOND War, ke lawelawe nei ma luna o 400 mau makaʻāinana hoihoi i WNC a me nā tausani o nā lālā hana ma waena o ka US a me ka honua, ke kākau nei wau e hui pū me NC Peace Action e hōʻoia i nā waiwai o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kaua, ka mua i kahi moʻomeheu maluhia, a me kahi palekana demilitarized.
Ua mahalo nā kamaʻāina o Asheville a me Buncombe County a me nā mea hoʻomaha o ia wahi i nā pale no ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka maluhia ma waena o nā lāhui. I ke aʻo ʻana i nā kikoʻī piha, manaʻo ka poʻe he nui i ka manaʻo o ke komisina ʻo Buncombe County e hāʻawi i $ 27 miliona i nā mea hoʻoikaika no ka mea kanu nui Pratt & Whitney e hana ana no nā ʻenekini mokulele ma 100 mau eka o ka ʻāina ākea e pili ana i ka Palani Broad River ma kahi kokoke. kokoke i ka Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina Arboretum, a me Bent Creek River Park.
ʻAʻole hiki i ke Kalana ʻo Buncombe ke hana hou i ka CTS o Asheville electroplating plant superfund kahua ma Mills Gap Road ma South Asheville i hoʻopuka i nā pae weliweli o ka TCE, a me 10 mau carcinogens ʻē aʻe, no 30 mau makahiki a ʻaʻole naʻe i hoʻoponopono piha ʻia.
ʻO ka Pratt & Whitney jet engine plant ma North Haven, CT i hoʻokuʻu ʻia he 5.4 miliona mau paona o nā mea make ʻino ma waena o 1987 a me 2002, ʻoiai ʻo West Palm Beach, FL kahi mea kanu he 47 mau ʻone neoneo i loko o nā pūnaewele hoʻomaʻemaʻe weliweli nui loa o ka EPA.
He aha nā hana e pono ai e pale aku i nā kahe ʻino a me nā ulia pōpilikia, nā koi no ka hōʻike koke ʻana i ka lehulehu i nā ninini a me nā mea haumia, nā mea no ka hoʻoponopono piha ʻana, a me nā koi no ka uku ʻana i ke kalana a i kekahi poʻe i hana ʻino ʻia?
ʻO Pratt & Whitney kahi ʻāpana o Raytheon Technologies, ke kolu o nā mea hana mea kaua i ka honua. He moʻolelo ko Raytheon o ka loaʻa kālā ʻana i loko o nā piliona mai ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mokulele hakakā i Saudi Arabia a ua hoʻoweliweli iā Yemen no nā makahiki he mau makahiki ma o ka hana maikaʻi ʻana. 16,749 hoʻouka kaua lewa, e luku ana i nā makaʻāinana, e hoʻomaka ana i ka wī a me kahi maʻi cholera.
No ke aha he ʻatikala a Citizen's Times e pili ana i ka Pratt & Whitney wahi mea kanu i hoʻolālā ʻia me kahi ʻenekini F135 no ka mokulele F-35 Lightning II? I nā likelihood āpau, e kūkulu ana ʻo Pratt & Whitney i nā ʻāpana no nā ʻenekini ma F-35 a me kāna laina o nā ʻenekaua pūʻali, e kūʻai ʻia aku ana i nā ʻāina e like me Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), a me Israel e hana ana i nā pono kīvila kanaka. .
ʻAʻole kiki ʻia kēia mau koi. Ma Nowemapa 11, 2020, ke ʻimi nei ke aupuni Trump i kahi kūʻai wikiwiki loa loa o $ 23.37 biliona ma nā jet jet, drones a me nā pōkā i ka UAE e hana nei i nā hana hoʻomāinoino ma Yemen.
ʻO kēia hana ma waena o Biltmore Farms, LLC a me Pratt lāua ʻo Whitney / Raytheon i hūnā ʻia, ua kāohi ʻia ka inoa o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i loko o nā ʻatikala lehulehu, a ua noi ʻo Biltmore Farms no nā ʻae i nā kaiapuni i kona inoa ponoʻī me ka nele o ka wehe ākea. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia kahi hoʻolohe hoʻokolokolo akā ua hoʻopau ʻia i Malaki ma muli o ka laka COVID.
Pono nā kamaʻāina o Buncombe County e hoʻomaopopo kūpono i kēia mau hoʻolālā. E hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo e hāʻawi ana i kēia mau mea hōʻeuʻeu Kalana a hiki i ka manawa e loaʻa ai i nā makaʻāinana ka manawa kūpono e loiloi ai a loiloi i nā hopena koʻikoʻi o ka hopena o ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni a me nā hopena maikaʻi e hoʻopilikia nei.
Hiki iā mākou āpau ke keu pono mai ke aʻo ʻana i ka maʻa ʻo Pratt a me Whitney / Raytheon a me ka mōʻaukala o ka pepehi kanaka ʻana (i nā loaʻa kālā), ma o ka luku ʻana (i ke kaua, nā pōkā a me ka make).
ʻAe, pono kā mākou ʻāpana i kahi hoʻokele waiwai hou aku, akā ʻo ia hoʻi ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hoʻoulu mokuʻāina a me nā kalana mai nā ʻauhau waiwai iā Raytheon Technologies hoa Pratt & Whitney, e hoʻolālā e hana i nā ʻenekini jet ma 100 mau eka o ka ʻāina pristine, i hāʻawi ʻia iā lākou ma ka Palani. Muliwai ākea?
Nonoi aku mākou i nā lunamakaʻāinana i koho ʻia e hana a mālama pono i ka hoʻoholo ʻana i hāʻawi ʻia i nā hopena lōʻihi lōʻihi i kau ʻia.
me ka manao pono,
