Ndi David Swanson
Ndemanga pamwambo wa Independence from America kunja kwa maziko a Menwith Hill "RFA" (NSA) ku Yorkshire.
Choyamba, zikomo kwa Lindis Percy ndi wina aliyense amene akutenga nawo mbali pondibweretsa kuno, ndi kundilola kuti ndibweretse mwana wanga Wesley.
Ndipo zikomo ku Campaign for Accountability of American Bases. Ndikudziwa kuti mumagawana malingaliro anga omwe kuyankha kwa maziko aku America kungabweretse kuchotsa za maziko aku America.
Ndipo zikomo kwa Lindis chifukwa chonditumizira ma account ake okana kumangidwa pokhapokha apolisi adzichotsera zida. Ku United States, kukana malangizo aliwonse operekedwa ndi wapolisi kungakuimbitseni mlandu wokana lamulo lololeka, ngakhale lamulolo litakhala loletsedwa. M'malo mwake, nthawi zambiri ndiye mlandu wokhawo womwe umaperekedwa kwa anthu olamulidwa kuti asiye zionetsero ndi ziwonetsero zomwe m'malingaliro ndizovomerezeka. Ndipo, zowona, kuuza wapolisi waku US kuti achotse zida kungakutsekereni misala ngati sikunakuwombereni.
Kodi ndingangonena kuti ndizodabwitsa bwanji kukhala kunja kwa United States pa XNUMX Julayi? Pali zinthu zambiri zodabwitsa komanso zokongola ku United States, kuphatikiza banja langa ndi anzanga, kuphatikiza zikwizikwi za anthu odzipereka moona mtima olimbikitsa mtendere, kuphatikiza anthu omwe amapita kundende molimba mtima kukatsutsa kuphedwa kwa anthu ena omwe sanakumanepo nawo kumayiko akutali omwe amawakonda. mwina sangamvenso za nsembe zomwe otsutsa akuchita. (Kodi mumadziwa kuti mkulu wa gulu lankhondo ku New York State ali ndi malamulo amilandu achitetezo kuti aletse omenyera mtendere osachita zachiwawa kutali ndi malo ake kuti atsimikizire chitetezo chake mwakuthupi - kapena ndi mtendere wake wamalingaliro?) Ndipo, zowonadi, mamiliyoni ambiri Anthu aku America omwe amalekerera kapena kukondwerera nkhondo kapena kuwonongeka kwa nyengo ndi odabwitsa komanso amphamvu m'mabanja awo ndi m'madera oyandikana nawo ndi matauni - ndipo izi ndizofunikanso.
Ndakhala ndikusangalala pamasewera a World Cup ku US. Koma ndimakondanso magulu apafupi, mizinda, ndi zigawo. Ndipo sindimakamba za matimu ngati kuti ndine. Sindikunena kuti "Tinagoletsa!" nditakhala pampando ndikutsegula mowa. Ndipo sindimati "Tapambana!" pamene gulu lankhondo la US likuwononga dziko, kupha anthu ambiri, kuwononga dziko lapansi, madzi, ndi mpweya, kupanga adani atsopano, kuwononga madola mabiliyoni ambiri, ndikupereka zida zake zakale kwa apolisi omwe amaletsa ufulu wathu m'dzina la nkhondo. inamenyedwa m’dzina la ufulu. Sindikunena kuti “Tatayika!” kaya. Ife amene timatsutsa tili ndi udindo wotsutsa kwambiri, koma osadziŵika ndi omwe amapha, ndipo ndithudi tisaganize kuti amuna, akazi, ana, ndi makanda akuphedwa ndi mazana a zikwizikwi amapanga gulu lotsutsa lovala yunifolomu yosiyana. timu yomwe ndiyenera kukondwera nayo kugonjetsedwa ndi mzinga wamoto.
Kuzindikiritsa misewu yanga kapena tawuni yanga kapena kontinenti yanga sikutsogolere malo omwewo omwe amadziwika ndi ntchito zankhondo-kuphatikiza-zang'ono-zang'ono zomwe zimadzitcha zomwe boma langa limatsogolera. Ndipo ndizovuta kwambiri kuzindikira msewu wanga; Sindingathe kulamulira zomwe anansi anga amachita. Ndipo sindingathe kudziwika ndi dziko langa chifukwa sindinawonepo zambiri za izo. Chifukwa chake, ndikangoyamba kudziwikiratu ndi anthu omwe sindikuwadziwa, sindikuwona mtsutso womveka woyimitsa kulikonse komwe sikungadziwike ndi aliyense, m'malo mongosiya 95% ndikudzizindikiritsa ndi United States, kapena kusiya 90% ndikudzizindikiritsa. zomwe zimatchedwa "International Community" zomwe zimagwirizana ndi nkhondo za US. Bwanji osamangodzidziŵa kuti ndi anthu onse kulikonse? Nthawi zina pamene timaphunzira nkhani za anthu akutali kapena onyozedwa, tiyenera kunena kuti, "Wow, zimawapangitsa kukhala umunthu!" Chabwino, ndikufuna kudziwa, zinali chiyani zisanawapangitse kukhala anthu?
Ku US kuli mbendera zaku US kulikonse nthawi zonse, ndipo pali tchuthi chankhondo tsiku lililonse pachaka. Koma Lachinayi la July ndilo tchuthi lapamwamba kwambiri la nationalism yopatulika. Kuposa tsiku lina lililonse, mudzawona ana akuphunzitsidwa kulonjeza kukhulupirika ku mbendera, kubwereza salmo kumvera ngati maloboti ang'onoang'ono a fascist. Mutha kumva nyimbo yafuko yaku US, Star Spangled Banner. Ndani akudziwa kuti mawu a nyimboyo akuchokera pa nkhondo iti?
Ndiko kulondola, Nkhondo ya Ufulu wa Canada, momwe United States inayesera kumasula anthu a ku Canada (osati kwa nthawi yoyamba kapena yomaliza) omwe anawalandira monga momwe a Iraqi akanachitira pambuyo pake, ndipo a British adawotcha Washington. Imadziwikanso kuti Nkhondo ya 1812, bicentennial idakondwerera ku US zaka ziwiri zapitazo. Pankhondo imeneyo, yomwe idapha anthu masauzande ambiri aku America ndi Brits, makamaka chifukwa cha matenda, pankhondo imodzi yopanda tanthauzo, anthu ambiri adamwalira, koma mbendera idapulumuka. Ndipo kotero tikukondwerera kupulumuka kwa mbenderayo poimba za dziko laufulu lomwe limamanga anthu ambiri kuposa kwina kulikonse padziko lapansi komanso nyumba ya olimba mtima omwe amavula okwera ndege ndikuyambitsa nkhondo ngati Asilamu atatu akufuula "boo!"
Kodi mumadziwa kuti mbendera yaku US idakumbukiridwanso? Mukudziwa momwe galimoto imakumbukiridwa ndi wopanga ngati mabuleki sagwira ntchito? Pepala lachipongwe lotchedwa Onion linanena kuti mbendera yaku US idakumbukiridwa pambuyo popha anthu 143 miliyoni. Kuliko mochedwa kuposa kale.
Pali zinthu zambiri zodabwitsa komanso zomwe zikuyenda bwino mu chikhalidwe cha US. Zakhala zosavomerezeka mochulukirachulukira kukhala watsankho kapena tsankho kwa anthu, makamaka anthu oyandikana nawo, chifukwa cha mtundu wawo, kugonana, malingaliro ogonana, ndi zina. Ikupitirirabe, ndithudi, koma izo zaipidwa nazo. Ndinakambitsirana chaka chatha ndi mwamuna wina amene anakhala pa mthunzi wa chithunzi chosema cha akazembe a chitaganya pamalo amene kale anali opatulika kwa gulu lankhondo la Ku Klux Klan, ndipo ndinazindikira kuti iye sanganene konse, ngakhale atalingalira zimenezo, sanganene za tsankho. za anthu akuda ku United States kwa mlendo yemwe anali atangokumana naye kumene. Kenako anandiuza kuti akufuna kuwona Middle East yonse ikuwonongedwa ndi mabomba a nyukiliya.
Takhala ndi akatswiri anthabwala ndi olemba nkhani atha chifukwa cha zonena za tsankho kapena zakugonana, koma ma CEO a zida amachita nthabwala pawailesi kufuna ntchito zazikulu zamayiko ena, ndipo palibe amene amaphethira. Tili ndi magulu olimbana ndi nkhondo omwe amakakamira chikondwerero cha usilikali pa Tsiku la Chikumbutso ndi masiku ena monga awa. Tili ndi otchedwa andale opita patsogolo omwe amalongosola usilikali ngati pulogalamu ya ntchito, ngakhale kuti imapanga ntchito zochepa pa dola kuposa maphunziro kapena mphamvu kapena zomangamanga kapena osakhoma msonkho konse. Tili ndi magulu amtendere omwe amatsutsana ndi nkhondo chifukwa chakuti asilikali akuyenera kukhala okonzekera nkhondo zina, mwina zofunika kwambiri. Tili ndi magulu amtendere omwe amatsutsa zinyalala zankhondo, pomwe njira zina zogwirira ntchito zankhondo sizofunikira. Tili ndi omenyera ufulu omwe amatsutsa nkhondo chifukwa amawononga ndalama, ndendende monga amatsutsa masukulu kapena mapaki. Tili ndi ankhondo othandiza anthu omwe amatsutsana pankhondo chifukwa cha chifundo chawo kwa anthu omwe akufuna kuphulitsidwa ndi mabomba. Tili ndi magulu amtendere omwe amatsutsana ndi a libertarians ndikulimbikitsa kudzikonda, kukangana masukulu kunyumba m'malo mwa mabomba kwa Asiriya, popanda kufotokoza kuti titha kupereka thandizo lenileni kwa Asiriya ndi ife eni chifukwa cha mtengo wa mabomba.
Tili ndi maloya omasuka omwe amati sangadziwe ngati kuwomba ana ndi ma drones ndikovomerezeka kapena ayi, chifukwa Purezidenti Obama ali ndi memo yachinsinsi (yomwe tsopano ndi chinsinsi) momwe amavomerezera kuti ikhale gawo lankhondo, ndipo iwo sanawone memo, ndipo monga mfundo, monga Amnesty International ndi Human Rights Watch, amanyalanyaza Charter ya UN, Kellogg Briand Pact, ndi kusagwirizana kwa nkhondo. Tili ndi anthu akutsutsa kuti kuphulitsa bomba ku Iraq tsopano ndi chinthu chabwino chifukwa pamapeto pake kumapangitsa US ndi Iran kuyankhulana. Tikukana kolimba kutchula ma Iraqi theka la miliyoni mpaka miliyoni ndi theka potengera chikhulupiriro chakuti Achimerika atha kusamala za 4,000 yaku America yomwe idaphedwa ku Iraq. Tili ndi nkhondo zolimba mtima kuti tisinthe asitikali aku US kukhala gulu labwino, komanso kufunikira kosalephereka kwa omwe ayamba kumenya nkhondo, kuti United States iyenera kutsogolera njira ya mtendere - pamene dziko likanakhala losangalala ngati litangobweretsa kumbuyo.
Ndipo komabe, tilinso ndi kupita patsogolo kwakukulu. Zaka 20 zapitazo anthu a ku America anali kumvetsera nyimbo zachidule za mmene kusaka Huns kunali masewera osangalatsa kusewera, ndipo mapulofesa anali kuphunzitsa kuti nkhondo imamanga chikhalidwe cha dziko. Tsopano nkhondo iyenera kugulitsidwa ngati yofunikira komanso yothandiza chifukwa palibe amene amakhulupirira kuti ndizosangalatsa kapena zabwino kwa inu. Zosankhira ku United States zimayika chithandizo chankhondo zatsopano zomwe zingachitike pansi pa 10 peresenti ndipo nthawi zina pansi pa 2003 peresenti. Nyumba ya Malamulo itatha kunena kuti Ayi ku Syria, Congress inamvera phokoso lalikulu la anthu ku US ndipo linati Ayi. M'mwezi wa February, kukakamizidwa ndi anthu kunapangitsa kuti Congress ivomereze chigamulo chatsopano ku Iran chomwe chidadziwika bwino ngati njira yopita kunkhondo m'malo motalikirana nayo. Nkhondo yatsopano ku Iraq ikuyenera kugulitsidwa ndikupangidwa pang'onopang'ono poyang'anizana ndi kutsutsa kwakukulu kwa anthu komwe kwapangitsa kuti ena odziwika bwino ankhondo mu XNUMX asinthe posachedwapa.
Kusintha kwa malingaliro ankhondo kumeneku makamaka chifukwa cha nkhondo za Afghanistan ndi Iraq komanso kuwonekera kwa mabodza ndi zoopsa zomwe zikukhudzidwa. Sitiyenera kupeputsa izi kapena kuganiza kuti ndizosiyana ndi funso la Syria kapena Ukraine. Anthu akuukira nkhondo. Kwa ena zikhoza kukhala zonse zokhudza ndalama. Kwa ena likhoza kukhala funso loti ndi chipani chandale chomwe chili ndi White House. The Washington Post ili ndi kafukufuku wosonyeza kuti pafupifupi palibe aliyense ku US angapeze Ukraine pamapu, ndipo iwo omwe amayiyika kutali kwambiri ndi kumene ili kwenikweni akufunafuna nkhondo ya US kumeneko, kuphatikizapo omwe amawayika ku United States. . Munthu sadziwa kuseka kapena kulira. Komabe chikhalidwe chachikulu ndi ichi: kuchokera kwa akatswiri mpaka ku amatsenga, ndife, ambiri aife, tikutsutsana ndi nkhondo. Anthu aku America omwe akufuna kuti Ukraine iwukidwe ndi ocheperapo poyerekeza ndi omwe amakhulupirira mizimu, ma UFO, kapena maubwino akusintha kwanyengo.
Tsopano, funso ndiloti ngati tingathe kugwedeza lingaliro lakuti pambuyo pa mazana a nkhondo zoipa pakhoza kukhala yabwino pakona. Kuti tichite zimenezi tiyenera kuzindikira kuti nkhondo ndi asilikali zimatipangitsa kukhala otetezeka, osati otetezeka. Tiyenera kumvetsetsa kuti ma Iraqi sali osayamika chifukwa ndi opusa koma chifukwa US ndi ogwirizana adawononga nyumba yawo.
Titha kuwunjika zolemetsa kwambiri pamakangano othetsa kukhazikitsidwa kwankhondo. Maziko azotape aku US awa amagwiritsidwa ntchito poyang'ana mizinga komanso akazitape maboma ndi makampani ndi omenyera ufulu. Ndipo nchiyani chimalungamitsa chinsinsi? Nchiyani chimalola kuchitira aliyense ngati mdani? Chabwino, chinthu chimodzi chofunikira ndi lingaliro la mdani. Popanda nkhondo mayiko amataya adani awo. Popanda adani, mayiko amataya zifukwa zochitira nkhanza anthu. Dziko la Britain linali mdani woyamba kupangidwa ndi amene akanatha kukhala olamulira a dziko la United States pa July 4, 1776. Komabe nkhanza za Mfumu George sizikufanana ndi nkhanza zomwe maboma athu akuchitira tsopano, zolungamitsidwa ndi miyambo yawo yopangira nkhondo ndi kuthandizidwa. pamtundu wa matekinoloje omwe ali pano.
Nkhondo ndiye wowononga kwambiri chilengedwe, jenereta woipitsitsa wa kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu, chifukwa chachikulu cha imfa komanso kulenga mavuto othawa kwawo. Imameza pafupifupi $2 thililiyoni pachaka padziko lonse lapansi, pomwe mabiliyoni makumi ambiri amatha kuchepetsa kuzunzika kodabwitsa, ndipo mabiliyoni mazanamazana atha kulipira kusintha kwakukulu ku mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa zomwe zingatithandize kutiteteza ku ngozi yeniyeni.
Chimene tikusowa tsopano ndi kayendetsedwe ka maphunziro ndi kukakamiza komanso kukana kopanda chiwawa komwe sikuyesa kupititsa patsogolo nkhondo koma kuchitapo kanthu pofuna kuthetsa izo - zomwe zimayamba pozindikira kuti tikhoza kuthetsa. Ngati titha kuyimitsa zida zoponya ku Syria, palibe mphamvu zamatsenga zomwe zimatilepheretsa kuyimitsa mizinga kupita kumayiko ena onse. Nkhondo sichiri chikhumbo chachikulu cha mayiko chomwe chiyenera kuphulika pambuyo pake ngati ataponderezedwa. Mayiko sali enieni monga choncho. Nkhondo ndi chisankho chopangidwa ndi anthu, ndipo chomwe titha kuchipanga kukhala chosavomerezeka.
Anthu m'mayiko ambiri tsopano akugwira ntchito yolimbikitsa kuthetsa nkhondo zonse zomwe zimatchedwa kuti nkhondo World Beyond War. Chonde onani WorldBeyondWar.org kapena lankhulani nane za kutenga nawo mbali. Cholinga chathu ndi kubweretsa anthu ambiri ndi mabungwe mu gulu lomwe silinagwirizane ndi ndondomeko yeniyeni ya nkhondo kuchokera ku boma linalake, koma ku bungwe lonse la nkhondo kulikonse. Tiyenera kugwira ntchito padziko lonse lapansi kuti tichite izi. Tiyenera kuthandizira ntchito yomwe ikuchitika ndi magulu monga Campaign for Accountability of American Bases ndi Movement for the Abolition of War ndi Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Veterans For Peace ndi zina zambiri.
Anzathu ena ku Afghanistan, odzipereka amtendere ku Afghanistan, apereka lingaliro lakuti aliyense wokhala pansi pa thambo lomwelo lomwe akufuna kusuntha world beyond war valani mpango wabuluu wakumwamba. Mutha kupanga zanu kapena kuzipeza pa TheBlueScarf.org. Ndikuyembekeza povala izi kuti ndilankhule za kulumikizana kwanga ndi omwe abwerera ku United States omwe akugwira ntchito kuti akhale ndi ufulu weniweni komanso kulimba mtima, komanso kulumikizana kwanga komweko ndi omwe ali padziko lonse lapansi omwe adakhala ndi nkhondo yokwanira. Tsiku Lachinayi Labwino la Julayi!
