Chifukwa Chomwe Tili Kayaking kupita ku Pentagon, ndi Chifukwa Chake Muyenera Kukhala Nafe

Ndi David Swanson

Sabata imodzi isanachitike #NoWar2017: Msonkhano wa nkhondo ndi Environment, udzachitike pa Seputembara 22-24 ku American Univeristy, World Beyond War adzagwira ntchito ndi Backbone Campaign ndi anzawo ena kuti apange flotilla yachilengedwe ndi mtendere, kubweretsa kayaktivism kupita ku Washington, DC, pa Seputembala 16th.

Chifukwa chiyani? Kodi kufunika kwake ndi kotani? Ndani akuboola mafuta pa Potomac?

Kwenikweni Potomac ndiye likulu la mafuta, chifukwa njira yomwe timagwiritsira ntchito mafuta ndikukonzekera ndikukonzekera nkhondo - nkhondo zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhudzidwa ndikulakalaka mafuta ochulukirapo.

Kumbuyo kwa Pentagon kuli chikumbutso cha 9/11, koma palibe chikumbutso chatsoka la Pentagon lomwe likubwera ngati kusefukira kwamadzi.

Asitikali aku US ndiye ogula kwambiri mafuta kuzungulira ndipo akanakhala okwera pamndandanda wa mayiko, zikadakhala kuti ndi dziko. Asitikali ndiwachitatu wowipitsa kwambiri pamsewu zamadzi aku US. United States ikhoza kusinthira mphamvu zonse pokhapokha paziwongola dzanja zankhondo zaku US (ndikuibwezera zonsezo posunga ndalama).

Maiko ambiri padziko lapansi ali ndi asitikali aku US momwemo. Maiko ambiri padziko lapansi (maiko onse!) Amawotcha mafuta ochepa kuposa momwe asitikali aku US akuchitira. Ndipo ndizosawerengetsa kuti mafuta oyatsira ndege ndi olakwika motani kuposa mafuta ena achilengedwe. Ndipo sizingaganizirepo za kuchuluka kwa mafuta oyambira omwe opanga zida zapamwamba kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, kapena kuipitsa kumene chifukwa chakugwiritsa ntchito zida padziko lonse lapansi. US ndiye wogulitsa zida zapamwamba kwambiri padziko lapansi, ndipo ali ndi zida mbali zingapo za nkhondo zambiri.

Asitikali aku US adapanga 69% ya EPA Superfund malo omwe akhudzidwa ndi masoka achilengedwe. Kuteteza chilengedwe sikungachitike popanda demilitarization.

Pomwe Britain adayamba kuchita nawo chidwi ndi Middle East, ndikupita ku United States, kufunitsitsa ndikupanga mafuta ankhondo aku Britain. Zidayamba bwanji? Nkhondo kapena mafuta? Zinali nkhondo. Nkhondo komanso kukonzekera nkhondo zambiri kumatha mafuta ambiri. Koma nkhondo zimamenyedwera nkhondo yamafuta. Otchedwa kulowererapo kwakunja mu nkhondo zapachiweniweni, malinga ndi kafukufuku wokwanira, nthawi ya 100 nthawi zambiri - osati komwe kukuvutikira, osati komwe kuli nkhanza, osati komwe kuli chiopsezo padziko lapansi, koma komwe dziko lomwe kuli nkhondo lili ndi lalikulu malo osungira mafuta kapena wolowererapo akufuna mafuta ambiri.

Tiyenera kuphunzira kunena kuti "Sikudzakhalanso Mafuta a Mafuta" komanso "Sikudzakhalanso Mafuta Ankhondo."

Mukudziwa amene akugwirizana nazo? Pulezidenti wa Pre-Presidential Donald Trump. Pa December 6, 2009, patsamba 8 la New York Times kalata yopita kwa Purezidenti Obama kusindikizidwa ngati kulengeza ndi kulembedwa ndi Trump yotchedwa kusintha kwa nyengo ndi vuto lomwelo. "Chonde musabwererenso dziko lapansi," linatero. "Ngati talephera kuchitapo kanthu panopo, sizosamvetsetseka kuti sayenera kukhala ndi zotsatira zoopsya komanso zosasinthika kwa anthu komanso dziko lapansi."

M'malo mwake, Trump akuchita izi kuti afulumizitse izi, mlandu womwe ungayimbidwe ngati mlandu wokhudza anthu ndi International Criminal Court - bola ngati a Trump anali a ku Africa. Komanso ndi mlandu wokhoza kusokonezedwa ndi United States Congress - osachepera ngati pali njira ina yothandizira kugonana. Kugamula boma ili ndi udindo wathu.

Ngakhale nkhondo zankhondo ndizomwe zimayambitsa kusintha kwa nyengo, kuwongolera kwa mafuta ndi zinthu zakale ndizomwe kumayambitsa nkhondo. Nkhondo sizomwe "zimayambitsa" kusintha kwa nyengo pakakhala kuti palibe munthu aliyense apita kunkhondo, koma anthu omwe amasankha nkhondo nthawi zambiri amatero poyankha zovuta zomwe zachilengedwe zikuwononga. Dziwani zambiri Pano kapena kwathu msonkhano. Pro-chilengedwe ndi anthu omwe amapititsa patsogolo mtendere amaphunzira kugwira ntchito limodzi. Ino ndi nthawi yosangalatsa!
