E nā hoaaloha aloha,
mai ka Kepakemapa 19-21, ke hoʻokani hou nei ʻo Gaylord National Resort a me Convention Center i ka Air Force Association (AFA) "Air & Space Conference and Technology Expo," ka mea a mākou e kapa nei he "Arms Bazaar." ʻO ka AFA, e like me kāna pūnaewele, ʻo "ka leo no ka mana aerospace a me ka ʻohana Air Force." ʻO ke kia no ka Bazaar Pūʻali o kēia makahiki: "Air, Space & Cyber Theme: Airmen, ʻoihana, a me nā Allies-kahi hui palekana honua." (ʻike ma lalo o ka ʻikepili hou aʻe e pili ana i ka AFA Arms Bazaar) ʻO kekahi mau mea hana lima lima 150 e hana nei i kēia mau makahiki he mea nui ko Arms Bazaar i ka hoʻomehana ʻana o US. ʻO kēia mau mea hana lima, e like me Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman a me Raytheon, ke loaʻa kālā nei mai ke kaua a ke luku maoli nei lākou. Akā ʻaʻole wale kēlā. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka Pentagon a me nā mea kūʻai lima he nui i ka US nukelea / pūʻali koa / cyber kiʻekiʻe a me ka militariizing a me ke kaohi ʻana i kahi.
Ma ke ʻano he poʻokela poʻokela poʻokela poʻokela o ka honua, ʻo ka US ka mea kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua # 1 me nā kūʻai pūʻali koa he $ 46.6 biliona no ka makahiki 2015. Hāʻawi ka US i nā mea kaua i ka hapa nui o nā NATO a me nā mea kōkua o Middle East e like me Turkey, Israel, a me Saudi Arabia. Ke hoʻoulu nei nā mea kūʻai aku kaua o US ma ka Hikina Waena i nā kaua laha i kēia wahi, ʻoiai ka US e hoʻomau nei i kāna ʻimi e luku iā ISIS. Ma ka ʻahamele me nā mea hana mea kaua e komo ana i ka AFA Arms Bazaar, ke komo nei ka US i ka pūʻali koa i Iraq, Afghanistan a me Syria, ke hoʻomau nei i kāna kākoʻo pūʻali koa no ka noho ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela i ka West Bank a me Gaza, hoʻoweliweli iā Lūkia no kona komo ʻana i loko o ka ʻUkelena. , ka mea i loaʻa me kāna "pivot" pūʻali koa ma Asia-Pākīpika e hoʻoweliweli a loaʻa iā Kina, a me nā hoʻouka kaua drone killer ma Pakistan, Yemen a me Somalia.
Ua hele mua ke aupuni US me kāna "Missile Defense" e hoʻopuni ana iā Kina a me Rūsia, e hana ana i kahi hōʻeha nui i kāna kuʻikahi missile anti-Ballistic me Rūsia. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻolālā ka US e hoʻolilo i $ 1 trillion no nā makahiki he kanakolu e hiki mai ana e hōʻano hou i kāna arsenal ponoʻī ponoʻī, ma kahi o ka alualu ʻana i kahi ala maoli i ka disarmament. ʻO ka pūʻali koa US ka mea kūʻai nui hoʻokahi o ka honua i nā wahie fossil e hoʻopilikia pono ana i ka lewa o ka honua. Ke uē nei nā mea i make no ka hoʻoponopono kaulike, a me ka honua, ma lalo o ka hoʻouka kaua i kēlā me kēia lā, ke kaniʻuhū nei i ka luhi
I loko o kāna mau lā ʻekolu Arms Bazaar, ke kākoʻo nei ka AFA ma kahi o 40 mau kolamu e kamaʻilio ana pehea e hiki ai i ka US ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kāna mea hoʻomehana a me ka hiki ʻana o ka cyber i hiki iā ia ke hoʻomalu i ka honua a me ka lewa. Ma Lūpō, Kepakemapa 19, mālama ka AFA i kahi $ 300 + no kaʻaina pāʻani e mahalo nei i nāʻaha kūikawā, a ʻelua lā ma hope e mālama hou i ka ʻahaʻaina like. Hōʻalo mākou i ka Bazaar AFA Arms no ka mea: he ʻōlelo hōʻino i ke Akua, kahi ʻaihue mai ka poʻe ʻilihune, a hoʻoweliweli i ka poʻe o ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO wai e kamaʻilio no ka poʻe ʻilihune a me nā mea i hōʻino ʻia, ʻoiai e ʻohi ana nā mea kūʻai lima i nā waiwai nui mai kā lākou mea kaua make a me ka ʻenehana make Na wai e hoʻomalu i ko mākou honua laʻa a me ke kaiapuni? Pono mākou e koi ikaika, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka manawa, e pale kūʻē ʻole i nā kaua a me nā hana ʻino – mai Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan a me Gaza, iā Ferguson, NYC, Baltimore, Charleston, Orlando, DC a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe. E hui pū, e hoʻomau i ka hana i nā mea āpau e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻokumu i ke kaiāulu aloha, hoʻopau i ka pilikia o ke aniau, hoʻopau i ka ilihune a hana i kahi honua me ka ʻole o nā mea kaua nuklea a me nā mea kaua, nā drone killer, ke kaua, ka inaina lāhui a me ka hoʻokaumaha. I ka inoa o ke Akua, ka mea i kāhea iā mākou e aloha a ʻaʻole e inaina, hoʻowahāwahā a pepehi kanaka, ua hiki i ka manawa e hoʻopau ai i kēia Arms Bazaar!
E ʻoluʻolu e hui pū me nā lālā o ka Dorothy Day Catholic Worker, ʻo Pax Christi a me nā mea hoʻomalu ʻē aʻe i ko mākou ʻimi ʻana e ʻōlelo YES to Life a me kahi NO nui loa i nā mea kālepa o ka make a me nā mea kōkua kaua.
