Dziko likhoza kudabwa kumva kuti boma la United States lili ndi Institute of Peace; Orwell sakanatero.
Kuvota kwa Gallup amapeza kuti mbali yaikulu ya dziko imakhulupirira kuti boma la United States ndilo vuto lalikulu la mtendere padziko lapansi. Ndizodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri kuti boma la US likusunga ndikupereka ndalama zomwe zimatchedwa US Institute of Peace (USIP) yomwe imagwira ntchito kunja kwa nyumba yonyezimira yomwe ili pafupi ndi Lincoln Memorial ku Washington, DC, nyumba yomwe ili ndi denga lopindika lomwe limayenera kumangidwa. amafanana ndi nkhunda komabe amafanana kwambiri ndi chimphona cha brassiere.
George Orwell, akadakhala kuti awona USIP, mwina sadadabwe kuposa ambiri. M'malo mwake, USIP idapangidwa ndi lamulo losainidwa ndi Purezidenti Ronald Reagan mchaka cha 1984, chaka chomwe Orwell adatcha buku lake la dystopian mu 1948, pomwe dipatimenti yankhondo yaku US idangotchedwanso department of Defense, Ntchito yoyambitsa nkhondo yonyansa inali italengezedwa momveka bwino kwa anthu odziwa kulankhula bwinobwino. "Orwellian US Institute for Peace ili ndi anthu ogwira ntchito komanso otsogozedwa ndi ena omwe amatilimbikitsa kwambiri pankhondo ndi chipwirikiti, ambiri omwe ali pachitseko pakati pa boma ndi makontrakitala ankhondo," Alice Slater amandiuza. Slater ndi Mtsogoleri wa New York wa Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, ndipo akutumikira mu Komiti Yogwirizanitsa ya World Beyond War.
“M’malo mochirikiza zoyesayesa za kukambirana ndi kuthetsa mikangano mwamtendere,” iye akupitirizabe, “bungwe lotchedwa Peace Institute limalangiza Congress ndi atolankhani mmene [United States] ingaphulitsire mabomba ndi zida zankhondo padziko lonse lapansi. Tiyenera kusintha olimbikitsa mtendere ndi kukhala ndi Institute yomwe imathandizadi mtendere m'zaka za zana la 21 pamene nkhondo ndi yosatheka. "
"... Institute idapangidwa kuti ipititse patsogolo ufumu wa US ndikupanga dziko lopanda tsankho komwe United States imalamulira pazachuma, zankhondo komanso ndale."
Ngakhale kuti Institute of Peace idapangidwa poyankha kukakamizidwa ndi gulu lamtendere, ena olimbikitsa mtendere, pamapeto pake, adatsutsa chilengedwe chake, pomwe adawona zolembedwa pakhoma. Awa anali Noam Chomsky amene, monga Francis Boyle ndi ena amene ndimalemekeza kwambiri, amandiuza kuti amaona kuyesetsa kulikonse kosintha USIP kukhala kopanda chiyembekezo. Pakadali pano, omenyera mtendere ambiri, ngakhale ku United States, sadziwa kuti USIP ilipo, popeza ilibe mgwirizano ndi gulu lamtendere. Gulu lazaka zaposachedwa kuti lipange Dipatimenti Yamtendere limapereka, m'chidziwitso changa, palibe umboni wakuti tsogolo la Dipatimenti yotere silingafanane ndi Institute.
Ndipo komabe ndikukhulupirira kuti kuganiza za boma lomwe lidzasinthidwe kwambiri momwe dipatimenti kapena Institute of Peace ingathe kugwirira ntchito mtendere ndikofunikira. Ndipo ndikukhulupirira kuti pali chiyembekezo chosintha USIP mpaka pomwe imachita zabwino kuposa kuvulaza. Kevin Zeese, wotsogolera gulu la Popular Resistance, amandiuza kuti "monga National Endowment for Democracy, US Agency for International Development, ndi mabungwe ena a US, Institute idapangidwa kuti ipititse patsogolo ufumu wa US ndikupanga dziko lopanda malire kumene United States imalamulira pazachuma, zankhondo ndi ndale. Ngakhale kuti anthu a ku US akuyesera kusintha ndondomeko ya mayiko akunja, maboma padziko lonse lapansi akuyenera kuchitapo kanthu kuti aletse mabungwewa kugwira ntchito m'malire awo, chifukwa adzachita zonse zomwe angathe kuti athetse mikangano ndikupanga kusintha kwa maboma kuti awonetsetse kuti maboma akugwirizana nawo mokwanira. United States ndi mabungwe ake apakati pa mayiko. ”
Mawu a Zeese ndi oona, komabe USIP imagwira ntchito ina yolimbikitsa mtendere, kuphatikizapo kuchititsa okamba nkhani ndi kutulutsa zofalitsa zomwe cholinga chake ndi mtendere, kutumiza oyimira pakati aluso m'madera a mikangano, kupanga ndalama zothandizira kafukufuku, kuchita mipikisano ya nkhani, ndikuchititsa maphunziro othetsa mikangano nthawi zonse. osati kutsutsana mopambanitsa ndi zolinga za imperialism ya US. Chinyengo ndi momwe mungakulitsire ntchito yabwino yochitidwa ndi USIP ndikuwulula ndikutsutsa zoyipa.
Kuti zimenezi zitheke, gulu lina la anthu olimbikitsa mtendere lachita chilungamo adayambitsa pempho kuti ikukonzekera kutumiza ku USIP kumapeto kwa Seputembala. Monga pempholi likumvekera bwino, pamene USIP imati ndizoletsedwa kutsutsa nkhondo za US kapena kulimbikitsana nawo kapena kulimbikitsa njira zina zamtendere zomwe zikuganiziridwa, powerenga mosamala lamulo la 1984 lomwe linapanga USIP limasonyeza kuti izi siziri choncho. . M'malo mwake, USIP nthawi zonse imalimbikitsa boma lonse la US ndi anthu aku US kuti athandizire nkhondo, kuphatikiza kugwa kwa boma la Syria - komanso nthawi zina polimbana ndi nkhondo, monga momwe USIP idathandizira mgwirizano wanyukiliya ndi Iran.
"Mgwirizano ndi Iran umapereka mwayi wabwino kwa USIP kulimbikitsa kupambana kwa zokambirana ndi zokambirana kuti akwaniritse mtendere ndi kumvetsetsa kwapadziko lonse," akutero Elizabeth Murray, yemwe anali Wachiwiri kwa National Intelligence Officer ku Near East mu National Intelligence Council asanapume pambuyo pake. ntchito ya zaka 27 mu boma la US. Iye akufotokoza kuti: “Bungwe la US Institute of Peace, likhoza kutsogolera njira yothetsera mavuto oopsa a mayiko polimbana ndi zoulutsa nkhani za makampani ku Iran, Russia, Ukraine, ndi Syria, ndiponso kulimbikitsa njira zina zamtendere m’malo mwa ‘njira’ zankhondo zimene zimapindulitsa anthu ochepa chabe. makampani ankhondo. Dziko lapansi ladzaza ndi nkhondo zosatha, kusefukira kwa othawa kwawo komanso asitikali ankhondo omwe ali ndi PTSD. USIP ikhoza kuthetsa vutoli mwa kulimbikira kulimbikitsa mtendere. "
Kotero izo zikhoza, osachepera mwalamulo ndi zomveka ndi theoretically. Ndipo komabe oŵerengeka amakhulupirira kuti kutero. Kuletsa USIP kukulitsa chitsanzo cha zokambirana m'malo mwa nkhondo kumayiko ena kupatula Iran, makamaka, zomwe anthu omwe amapanga USIP, kuphatikiza membala wa bungwe la USIP komanso wapampando Stephen Hadley, yemwe amalimbikitsa kuphulitsidwa kwa bomba ku Syria ndi kumenya nkhondo. Ukraine, pomwe ikulimbikitsa mayiko aku Europe kuti awonjezere ndalama zomwe amawononga pankhondo, ndipo iyeyo amapindula ndi nkhondo ngati membala wa board ya Raytheon. Ndiye pali membala wa bungwe la USIP a Eric Edelman, yemwe kale anali undersecretary ku Pentagon, yemwe amalimbikitsa kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zambiri pankhondo, kuwukira Iran, komanso kutumiza zida za nyukiliya kumayiko omwe ali kumalire a Russia. Membala wa board ya USIP Major General Frederick M. Padilla, USMC, nayenso ndi wankhondo. The pempho latsopano ikufuna kuti m'malo mwa mamembala atatuwa alowe m'malo ndi olimbikitsa mtendere, omwe USIP ilibe nawo pagulu lawo.
Zidzakhala zosangalatsa kwambiri kuwona momwe USIP imachitira ndi omwe akuilimbikitsa kuti ikwaniritse tanthauzo lolunjika, losakhala la Orwellian la dzina lake.
