Na David Swanson, World BEYOND War, Ianuali 29, 2023
ʻO David Swanson ka mea kākau o ka puke hou ʻO ka Monroe Doctrine ma 200 a me ka mea e hoʻololi ai.
Ua aʻo pinepine ʻia mākou ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia ka Monroe Doctrine a hiki i nā makahiki he mau makahiki ma hope o kona haʻi ʻana, a ʻaʻole i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he laikini no ka imperialism a hiki i ka wā i hoʻololi ʻia a unuhi hou ʻia e nā hanauna hope. ʻAʻole wahaheʻe kēia, akā ua hoʻonui ʻia. ʻO kekahi o nā kumu i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo ia ke kumu like i aʻo ʻia ai mākou i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole i hoʻomaka ka imperialism US a hiki i 1898, a ʻo ke kumu hoʻokahi i kapa ʻia ke kaua ma Vietnam, a ma hope o ke kaua ma Afghanistan, " ʻo ke kaua US lōʻihi loa. ʻO ke kumu, ʻaʻole i mālama ʻia nā ʻAmelika ʻAmelika e like me ka poʻe maoli, me nā lāhui maoli, me nā kaua kūʻē iā lākou he mau kaua maoli. ʻO ka ʻāpana o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i pau i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ua manaʻo ʻia e like me ka loaʻa ʻana ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka imperial, a ʻaʻole hoʻi i komo i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ka lanakila maoli ʻana he mea make loa, a ʻoiai kekahi o nā mea ma hope. ʻO kēia hoʻonui imperial nui i manaʻo e hoʻokomo i nā mea āpau o Kanada, Mexico, Caribbean, a me Central America. ʻO ka naʻi ʻana o nā mea he nui (akā ʻaʻole nā mea āpau) o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau ʻo ia ka hoʻokō koʻikoʻi loa o ka Monroe Doctrine, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia e pili ana me ia. ʻO ka ʻōlelo mua o ka Doctrine ponoʻī ke kūʻē nei i ka colonialism Lūkini ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻO ka lanakila ʻana o ʻAmelika i (ka nui o) ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻoiai e hana ʻia ana, ua ʻāpono pinepine ʻia ma ke ʻano he kūʻē i ka colonialism ʻEulopa.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ka hōʻaiʻē a i ʻole ka hewa no ke kākau ʻana i ka Monroe Doctrine i hāʻawi ʻia i ke Kakauolelo o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo James Monroe ʻo John Quincy Adams. Akā ʻaʻole loaʻa kahi hana kiʻi pilikino i ka ʻōlelo. ʻO ka nīnau o ke kulekele e haʻi aku i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia e Adams, Monroe, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, me ka hoʻoholo hope loa, a me ke koho ʻana o Adams i kākau ʻōlelo no ka mokuʻāina, e hāʻule ana iā Monroe. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia a me kona mau hoa "mākua hoʻokumu" i kahi pelekikena hoʻokahi i hiki ke kau i ke kuleana ma luna o kekahi.
ʻO James Monroe ka lima o ka pelekikena o ʻAmelika, a ʻo ka pelekikena hope loa i hoʻokumu ʻia, e hahai ana ma ke ala o Thomas Jefferson a me James Madison, kona mau hoaaloha a me nā hoalauna i kēia manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo Central Virginia, a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi e hahai ana i ke kanaka ʻē aʻe e holo kūʻē ʻole no kahi ʻelua kau, hoa Virginia mai ka ʻāpana o Virginia kahi i ulu ai ʻo Monroe, ʻo George Washington. Hāʻule pū ʻo Monroe i nā aka o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Eia ma Charlottesville, Vireginia, kahi a'u e noho nei, a ma kahi i noho ai o Monroe a me Jefferson, he kii o Monroe, i loaa mua ma waena o ka pa o ke Kulanui o Vireginia, ua pani mua ia e ke kii o ka haku haku mele Helene o Homer. ʻO ka hale mākaʻikaʻi nui loa ma ʻaneʻi ʻo ka hale o Jefferson, me ka hale o Monroe e loaʻa ana i kahi hapa liʻiliʻi o ka nānā. Ma ke mele kaulana ʻo Broadway "Hamilton," ʻaʻole i hoʻololi ʻia ʻo James Monroe i ʻApelika-ʻAmelika e kūʻē i ke kauā a aloha i ke kūʻokoʻa a hōʻike i nā mele no ka mea ʻaʻole ia i hoʻokomo ʻia.
Akā, he mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Monroe i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai i kēia lā, a i ʻole ia. He manaʻoʻiʻo nui ʻo Monroe i nā kaua a me nā pūʻali koa, a ʻo ia paha ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo nui loa i nā makahiki mua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ka hoʻolimalima pūʻali koa a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi pūʻali koa kū mamao loa - kahi mea i kūʻē ʻia e nā kumu aʻoaʻo o Monroe ʻo Jefferson lāua ʻo Madison. ʻAʻole ia he mea liʻiliʻi e kapa ʻia ʻo Monroe ka makua kāne hoʻokumu o ka pūʻali ʻoihana koa (e hoʻohana i ka huaʻōlelo a Eisenhower i hoʻoponopono ʻia mai ka "military industrial congressional complex" a i ʻole, no ka mea, ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe hoʻomalu maluhia e hoʻopaʻa inoa iā ia ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana - hoʻokahi i waena o nā mea he nui. hoʻohana ʻia e koʻu hoaaloha ʻo Ray McGovern, ka Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think Tank complex, a i ʻole MICIMATT).
ʻElua mau kenekulia o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka militarism a me ka hūnā he kumuhana nui. ʻOiai e kaupalena ana i ke kumuhana i ka Hemisphere Komohana, e hāʻawi i kaʻu puke i kēia manawa i nā mea koʻikoʻi wale nō, me kekahi mau kumuhana, kekahi mau laʻana, kekahi mau papa inoa a me nā helu, e hōʻike i ke kiʻi piha a hiki iaʻu ke hana. He moʻolelo ia o nā hana koa, me nā hoʻokahuli aupuni, a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli, akā, ʻo nā hana hoʻokele waiwai.
I ka makahiki 1829, ua kākau ʻo Simón Bolívar ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa "me he mea lā e hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika i ka pōʻino ma ka inoa o ke kūʻokoʻa." ʻO kēlā me kēia manaʻo ākea o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma ke ʻano he mea pale i ʻAmelika Latin he pōkole loa. Wahi a kahi mea kākau moʻolelo o Bolívar, "Ua loaʻa ka manaʻo o ke ao holoʻokoʻa ma ʻAmelika Hema ʻo kēia repubalika hānau mua, ʻo ia ka mea i kōkua i nā ʻōpio, ʻo ia hoʻi, ke hoʻāʻo wale nei e hoʻoikaika i ka hakakā a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā pilikia i hiki ai komo i ka manawa kūpono."
ʻO ka mea e hōʻeha iaʻu i ka nānā ʻana i nā makahiki mua o ka Monroe Doctrine, a ma hope loa, ʻo ia ka nui o nā manawa a nā aupuni ma Latin America i noi ai i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e kākoʻo i ka Monroe Doctrine a komo, a hōʻole ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I ka wā i hoʻoholo ai ke aupuni US e hana i ka Monroe Doctrine ma waho o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, aia nō ma waho o ka Hemisphere Komohana. I ka makahiki 1842, ua ao aku ke Kakauolelo o ka Mokuaina Daniel Webster ia Beretania a me Palani mai Hawaii aku. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole i kākoʻo ʻia ka Monroe Doctrine e ka pale ʻana i nā lāhui ʻAmelika Latina, akā e hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ia e sabotage iā lākou.
ʻO David Swanson ka mea kākau o ka puke hou ʻO ka Monroe Doctrine ma 200 a me ka mea e hoʻololi ai.
