Kuchokera ku Otsutsa Aulere: Otsutsana Nkhondo M'ndende ndi CJ Hinke, akubwera kuchokera ku Trine-Day mu 2016.
Mizere yotsutsa nkhondo imatenga mitundu yambiri monga nkhani za otsutsa m'ndende mu World Wars I ("Nkhondo Yaikulu", "nkhondo yothetsa nkhondo zonse") ndi II ('nkhondo yabwino"), Cold War, "mkangano" waku Korea wosadziwika, 'Red Scare' ya nthawi ya McCarthy, 1960s ndipo, potsiriza, nkhondo ya US yolimbana ndi Vietnam, zikuwonetsa. Pali zifukwa ndi njira zambiri zokanira nkhondo monga pali okana. Dipatimenti Yoona za Chilungamo inaika otsutsa pa WWII kuti ndi achipembedzo, makhalidwe, chuma, ndale, maganizo, zachilengedwe, akatswiri a pacifist, filosofi, chikhalidwe cha anthu, mayiko, anthu komanso Mboni za Yehova.
N’chifukwa chiyani ena ali maso ndiponso ozindikira, n’chifukwa chiyani ena amaona kuti chikumbumtima chawo n’cholimba kwambiri moti sangathe kuchinyalanyaza? Monga AJ Muste adalengeza, "Ngati sindingathe kukonda Hitler, sindingathe kukonda konse." N’chifukwa chiyani mzimu umenewo suli mwa ife tonse? Ambiri aife tatseka mosazindikira mawu a chikumbumtima chathu chovutitsa kuti moyo wathu ukhale wosavuta. Komabe, ndikukutsimikizirani kuti, dziko likanakhala labwino kwambiri ngati tonse titaphunzira kumvetsera ngakhale nyimbo zake zochepa kwambiri.
Chifukwa chomwe The Resistance idachita bwino motsutsana ndi zomwe adalemba ndikuti misonkhano imamvera aliyense. Njira iyi idaphunziridwa mu vivo kuchokera ku Quakers, SNCC, ndi CNVA. The Resistance idagwira ntchito chifukwa chakudzipereka kwake pakuvomerezana kogwirizana. Ambiri aife—(sasewera bwino ndi ena)—tinapita m’tsogolo kupanga zochita zathu chifukwa chokhumudwa ndi kachitidwe ka nthawi yaitali kameneka kamakhala kotopetsa. Nthawi zina ena adabwera nafe akuwona kufunika kwake ndipo nthawi zina samatero. Ngati panali "atsogoleri" a The Resistance, sindinakumanepo nawo!
Kugwirizana sikophweka koma kumagwira ntchito. Kugwirizana ndi njira osati mapeto. Consensus sichipambana ndi filibuster. Kugwirizana kumagwira ntchito ndendende momwe ambiri amalamulira ndi kuvota konse. Kuvota kumatha ndi gulu lalikulu losagwirizana, losakhutitsidwa la osankhidwa. Mukufunadi kuvotera wabodza wina wachiwiri wabwino kwambiri, yemwe amayenera kuthamangitsidwa, wamkamwa, wa lilime lofoka?!?
Kugwirizana ndizochitika. Kuvota ndi mdani. Kugwirizana kumamanga anthu. Kuvota kumapanga adani, kumapanga akunja. Kotero ingomvetserani kale.
Pali mulu wochuluka wa anthu padziko lino lapansi ndipo nditha kukhala wongokhulupirira. Koma pagulu la anthu abwino, tonse tikadakhala tikupanga zisankho kudzera mu demokalase yotenga nawo mbali m'malo mopanda ufulu womwe uli pachimake pa mavoti ambiri.
Mwa njira zina, bungwe la Resistance linanena kuti agwiritse ntchito lamulo lakale la Judæo-Christian and Mediæval la malo opatulika—malo achitetezo, pothaŵirako—kwa anthu othawa nkhondo ndi okana kulowa usilikali powaimba mlandu. Mmodzi mwa oyamba kutsegula zitseko zake za malo opatulika anali tchalitchi cha Washington Square Methodist, kunyumba kwa Greenwich Village Peace Center.
Mipingo yoposa 500 yomwe ili m’mphepete mwa nyanja, kuphatikizapo Lutheran, United Church of Christ, Roman Catholics, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptists, Jewish, Unitarian Universalists, Quakers, Mennonites, ndi mayunivesite ena, nawonso adanena kuti ndi malo otetezeka. Kumanga olimbana ndi nkhondo m'malo opatulika chinali chithunzi chodetsa nkhawa.
Njira ina yomwe idatilimbikitsa kwambiri inali kuwononga mafayilo agulu lankhondo kuti apangitse kuti kulowetsedwa kwa asitikali kutheke. Izi zidatsatiridwa ndi kuwonongeka kwa zolemba zamabizinesi kwa opindula kwambiri pankhondo monga Dow Chemical, opanga napalm, ndi General Electric, wopanga zida za bomba. Kumbukirani, ngati mungathe, izi zinali zaka makumi angapo kuti kompyuta iyambe; Popanda mafayilo amenewo, nyama sizikanatha kudyetsedwa m'matumbo ankhondo.
Staughton Lynd akulemba zosachepera 15 zotsutsana ndi mabungwe omenyera nkhondo ndi mabungwe ankhondo kuyambira 1966-1970 zomwe zidapangitsa kuti ziwonongeko zoyambira mazana angapo mpaka zolemba zopitilira 100,000. Mu 1969 bungwe la Women Against Daddy Warbucks silinangowononga mafayilo olembera koma linachotsa makiyi onse a '1' ndi 'A' pa mataipilaipi aku New York board kuti ma drafte asatchulidwe kuti ndi oyenera kugwira ntchito.
Jerry Elmer, Esq., chaka wamng'ono wanga kukana kulembetsa, akhoza kukhala ndi mbiri ya njira imeneyi. Anabera zikalata 14 zolembera anthu asilikali m’mizinda itatu! Jerry adakhala wolakwa yekha wa Harvard Law School m'kalasi la 1990.
Intaneti imapereka mwayi watsopano kwa anthu osachita zachiwawa, kuphatikiza kulumikizana ndi ena kuti achitepo kanthu m'dziko lenileni. Mchitidwe wa zoipa tsopano umafuna makompyuta ndipo tikhoza kusokoneza mosavuta machitidwe a kuipa ndi umbombo. Mutha kuyimitsa dongosolo popanda kusiya pabedi.
Kuyambira 2010, nsapato za ku America zinali pansi pa nkhondo ku Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Turkey, Yemen, Somalia, Uganda, Chad, Central African Republic, Sudan, ndi Mali. Ziwopsezo ku chitetezo cha dziko la US zinali zifukwa zoperekedwa. Khalani ndi mantha. Khalani ndi mantha kwambiri. "Mtsogoleri wathu wamkulu" amatiuza kuti America ili ndi "gulu lankhondo lalikulu kwambiri lomwe dziko lapansi silinadziwepo" -ndipo chimenecho ndi chinthu chabwino?!?
Mu 2015, United States idzawononga madola 741 biliyoni pachaka pazochitika zankhondo zomwe zikuchitika panopa - $ 59,000 pamphindi - nthawi zinayi ndi theka wopikisana naye wapafupi, China. Palibe dziko lina lomwe limayandikira. Komabe, chiwerengerochi chikulephera kuphatikizira ngongole ya ndalama zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo m'mbuyomu. Pazonse, 54% ya bajeti yaku US imathera pankhondo, 4.4% ya Gross Domestic Product, masenti 73 pa dola iliyonse yaku US. Asilikali aku America ndi parasite.
Ndizo madola thililiyoni ndi theka pamodzi. Ganizirani zabwino zonse padziko lapansi zomwe ndalama zosayerekezeka zingachite. Tikufuna kupha padziko lonse lapansi ndikuwononga mayiko ena. Kuyika izi moyenera, zingawononge ndalama zosakwana 1/10 ya bajeti yankhondo yaku US, $62.6 biliyoni, kupereka maphunziro apamwamba aku America kwaulere!
Ngati munthu apenda mbiri yakale, n’kosavuta kugonja chifukwa mbiri makamaka ndiyo mbiri ya nkhondo. Ngakhale kuti anthu 619 miliyoni aphedwa, palibe nkhondo m'mbiri yakale ya anthu yomwe "sikanapambana" ndi kuphedwa posachedwa.
Kodi pali amene angaganize kuti akapolo akuda sakanamasulidwa ndikufikira "kufanana" komwe kumawoneka m'zaka za zana la 21 ngati abale achichepere aku America ndi oyandikana nawo sadaphane pankhondo yokhetsa magazi kwambiri ku America nthawi zonse, Nkhondo Yapachiweniweni ku US?
Kodi alipo amene angaganize kuti ulamuliro wa Nazi wa ku Germany sukanatha wokha? Ndi njira iti yomwe imadzetsa mavuto ambiri, kudikirira kapena kupha?
Ngakhale Constitution ya US ikufuna kuti Congress ilengeze nkhondo, monganso, posachedwa, 1973 War Powers Resolution, sichinatero kuyambira Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse. Chifukwa chake, kulowerera kwankhondo komwe kumapangidwa ndi asitikali aku US ku Korea; Vietnam; Laos; Cambodia; Grenada; Panama; Iraq ndi Kuwait (“Desert Storm”); Afghanistan ("Ufulu Wopirira"); Iraq ("Ufulu wa Iraq") zinali zoonekeratu kuti nkhondo zosaloledwa. Nkhondo zaku US zolimbana ndi zigawenga sizili kanthu kwenikweni koma nkhondo zoopsa. Amabwera pamtengo woyipa wamunthu, inde, komanso akuwonongera Amereka $14 miliyoni pa ola. Zachidziwikire, ndangokhudzanso mfundo zazikuluzikulu-pali zida zambiri zazing'ono zankhondo m'maiko odzilamulira. Amawatcha malo owonetsera zankhondo, pomwe anthu enieni amafera papulatifomu.
Monga Noam Chomsky akunenera, "Ngati malamulo a Nuremberg akanagwiritsidwa ntchito, ndiye kuti pulezidenti aliyense wa ku America pambuyo pa nkhondo akanapachikidwa."
Mwina sindiyenera kukhala wovuta kwambiri ku United States koma, pambuyo pake, ndi dziko langa. M’zaka zonse zisanu ndi chimodzi za mbiri ya anthu yolembedwa, mbiri imeneyo ya anthu imalemba chiwonkhetso chachikulu cha zaka 300 zokha za mtendere! Koma, ndithudi, izo sizimapangitsa kuti nkhondo ikhale yabwino ...
Malamulo oyendetsera dziko la US adakhazikitsa njira yabwino yoyendetsera mphamvu za boma, macheke ndi miyeso kuchokera kunthambi zitatu za boma. Komabe, Boma la US lasiya kuwongolera mosayang'aniridwa komanso mopanda malire. USA yakhalapo kwa zaka zoposa 235; m’nthaŵi yonseyo, tangowona zaka 16 zamtendere! Pafupifupi nkhondo zonse zaku America zakhala nkhondo zankhanza komanso zotsutsana ndi kudziyimira pawokha zomwe sizikuwoneka kuti zili ndi chidwi cha dziko la America.
Sukulu, maphwando aukwati, ndi maulendo a maliro ndizo zapadera zathu. Kumbukirani "pacification"? Ndife dziko lomwe lili ndi mindandanda itatu yophatikizira "yofuna kupha" yomwe idaganiziridwa pa "Zigawenga Lachiwiri". Kodi uyu ndi Amereka wanu? Asilikali aku US si zigawenga kwa nzika wamba koma ndi akupha popanda chilolezo. Kuyesa kwa asidi pankhondo ndikungoganiza zosintha, nkhondo ikuchitika kwa ife, kunyumba.
Ndiuzeni, kodi nkhondo “zabwino” ndi ziti? Nthaŵi zambiri andale kapena ana awo sakhala asilikali. Kodi nkhondo ingatenge nthawi yayitali bwanji ngati maseneta onse azaka 80 ochokera mbali zonse ziwiri ayenera kumenyana wina ndi mnzake?!? Monga mipikisano ya gladiatorial. Bweretsani Masewera a Njala kwa 1%!
Kwa zaka zambiri kuchokera pamene dziko la America linamenyera nkhondo ku Vietnam, chithandizo chofala cha anthu okana kulowa usilikali chifukwa cha zimene amakhulupirira chachepa ngakhale kuti anthu ambiri amafuna kulembetsa ku Selection Service. Boma la US lachitanso bwino kuchepetsa kulengeza kwa anthu komanso kulimbikitsa mtendere motsutsana ndi zomwe zimatchedwa nkhondo za "uchigawenga" mkati ndi kunja.
Nkhondo ndi uchigawenga chabe ndi bajeti yaikulu.
Komabe, League Resisters League imachirikizabe okana usilikali pamodzi ndi Center on Conscience and War. War Resisters' International ndi Peace Pledge Union ku United Kingdom imathandiziranso otsutsa mayiko ndikulemba milandu ya usilikali m'mayiko osachepera khumi ndi limodzi, kuphatikizapo Armenia, Eritrea, Finland, Greece, Israel, Russia, Serbia ndi Montenegro, South Korea, Switzerland. , Thailand, Turkey ndi USA.
Munthu aliyense ayenera kudzifunsa funso lofunika kwambiri: "Kodi imfa ingakhale yotani?" chifukwa palibe chimene chiyenera kupha. Koposa zonse, pafupifupi XNUMX peresenti yokha ya anthu anaphapo wina. Aliyense amadziwa kusiyanitsa pakati pa chabwino ndi cholakwika: anthu ndi olimba komanso opangidwa kuti asaphe. Nkhondo imachititsa kuti asilikali apite kunja, kwenikweni komanso mophiphiritsa.
Asilikali padziko lonse lapansi akuzunza ndi kusokoneza bongo asitikali achichepere kuti agonjetse chikhalidwe chawo kuti asaphe potsutsa anyamata ena ngati "mdani". Nkhondo imamupangitsanso msilikali kukhala wovulala. Zotsatira zake zimakhala pafupifupi mwamuna kapena mkazi wowonongeka kwambiri. Asitikali 22 aku US amadzipha tsiku lililonse, opitilira 8,000 chaka chilichonse. Amereka adazigwiritsa ntchito ndikuzitaya. Osati kokha osathandizidwa, omenyera nkhondo pafupifupi 60,000 alibe pokhala.
Ndithudi, timapanga “adani” athu opanda pake, ponse paŵiri paumwini ndi mwa malamulo a boma. Lingaliro lalikulu, lomveka: siyani kuwona "ena" ngati adani! Kukambitsirana, kukambirana, kuyimira pakati, kukambirana, kulolerana, kuyanjanitsa, kukhazikitsa mtendere, kupanga mabwenzi kuchokera “adani”.
Mawu omwewo okhudza nkhondo, “opambana” ndi “olephera” angagwiritsiridwe ntchito mofananamo m’bwalo lamilandu. Bomba la atomiki ndi chilango cha imfa ndi lingaliro la maboma la chipambano. Nkhondo ndi ndende siziri njira yothetsera nthaŵi zonse kwenikweni chifukwa chakuti zimalephera chiyeso chachikulu cha chifundo kwa munthu mnzako. Palibe nkhondo kapena chilango cha m'ndende chimene chinathetseratu mavuto a anthu. Nkhondo ndi ndende zonse zimangoyenda mozungulira.
Mkazi woyamba kusankhidwa ku United States Congress, mu 1916, Jeanette Pickering Rankin adanena kuti dziko la United States lisanalowe mu Nkhondo Yadziko I: "Simungapambane nkhondo monga momwe mungagonjetse chivomezi." Mwachiwonekere tinafunikira malingaliro owonjezereka a mtundu wotero—chiyeneretso chokwanira cha akazi sichinakhazikitsidwe kufikira 1920.
United States ndiyonso mtsogoleri wapadziko lonse lapansi pakugulitsa zida, kuphatikiza mfuti, zipolopolo, zoponya, ma drones, ndege zankhondo, magalimoto ankhondo, zombo ndi sitima zapamadzi, zida zamagetsi, ndi zina zambiri. 2.7% ya Gross Domestic Product yapadziko lonse imathera pa zida; komabe, gawo la US GDP ndi pafupifupi asanu peresenti. America imapeza madola mabiliyoni 711 pakugulitsa zida, 41% ya ndalama zonse zapadziko lonse lapansi ndipo, monga momwe zimawonongera zida zankhondo, kupitilira kanayi mpikisano wake wapafupi wa capitalist, China. USA imagulitsa zida zankhondo, mabomba ophatikizika ndi mabomba kudziko lililonse ndi ndalama ndipo imatcha ma drones ake "Hunter-Killers", zolinga zawo zofewa (zowerengera anthu) zotsimikiziridwa ndi "nzeru zankhondo". Mafunso a Pop: Ndi dziko liti lomwe likuyenera kulandira ziletso pazachuma?
Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse isanachitike, Purezidenti Roosevelt adalengeza kuti, "Nthawi yafika yoti tichotse phindu pankhondo." Purezidenti Eisenhower, wamkulu wa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse, pa tsiku lake lomaliza paudindo, adachenjeza za "gulu lankhondo ndi mafakitale", kulumikiza magulu ankhondo ndi mabungwe ndi ndale.
Mwina mchitidwe wowononga uwu ukanatha kuimitsidwa ndi atsogoleri mu 1961; m’malo mwake anaudyera masuku pamutu. Dziko la US likupindula ndi kuzunzika kwa omwe akuzunzidwa ndi malonda oipawa. Ndikukumbukira masiku a palmier pamene America idapereka thandizo lakunja ndi chithandizo chatsoka kumayiko osowa ndikutumiza maphunziro ndi ogwira ntchito kuti atukuke. Tsopano tikungotumiza chiwonongeko.
Mayiko asanu ndi anayi tsopano ali m'gulu la zida zanyukiliya zomwe zimawononga ndalama zoposa $100 biliyoni pa zida za nyukiliya chaka chilichonse. Russia ili ndi zida zankhondo zochulukirapo kuposa USA (8,500 / 7,700) koma ili kalikiliki kugulitsa zida zake za plutonium kuti izipatsa mphamvu zida zanyukiliya.
Njira ya nyukiliya yaku America ndiyowopsa kwambiri, imawononga madola 600 biliyoni, 2015 miliyoni pakusunga ma nukes okonzeka chaka chilichonse. Obama adalemba malingaliro ake apamwamba ku Columbia pa mpikisano wa zida zankhondo komanso kuzizira kwa nyukiliya. Komabe, bajeti yake ya 2016 ikuphatikizapo kukonza, kupanga, ndi kupanga zida za nyukiliya, chiwerengero chapamwamba kwambiri, chifukwa cha kukwera ndi asanu ndi awiri peresenti mu XNUMX. Alembi awiri a boma.
A US akhala akukhazikitsa nukes okonzeka ku South Korea kuyambira osachepera 1958. Pamene North Korea inayesedwa mu 2013, America inaganiza zosewera nkhuku nawo. Ndipo Israyeli ali ndi bomba—eya!
Mfundo yakuti sitinawononge zamoyo zonse pa Dziko Lapansi sichifukwa cha makhalidwe apamwamba kapena kudziletsa pa ndale - yakhala ngozi yamwayi ... mpaka pano. Dziko la South Africa ndi dziko lokhalo limene lapanga zida za nyukiliya kenako n’kuziphwasula. America ikutchova njuganso mosasamala ndi miyoyo yathu powononga $ 100 biliyoni kupanga gulu latsopano la sitima zapamadzi za nyukiliya za Trident, zomwe zasinthidwa kuchokera ku subs zomwe ndinamangidwa ku Groton.
Ndende zimagwiritsidwa ntchito nthawi zonse ndi zolinga zoyipa; ndiwo mbalame zakufa, zimadya mitembo ya zamoyo. Ndende zikuchita malonda mwatsoka. Mofanana ndi nkhondo, ndende ndi zida zosavuta kubwezera, zomwe zimatsutsana ndi chitukuko cha anthu. Wolakwayo sangalakwitsenso kwa nthawi yomwe watsekeredwa.
Chodabwitsa ndichakuti ndende zaku US zidakhazikika, pafupifupi akaidi a 250,000, kuyambira 1930 mpaka 1960. Nkhondo yokhayo, yowononga kwambiri anthu kuposa nkhondo iliyonse yomwe idamenyedwa ndi zida, idakulitsa ziwerengerozo kuti US ikhale ndende yayikulu kwambiri mu ndende. mbiri ya dziko - nkhondo pa mankhwala. Mu 2010, anthu 13 miliyoni anamangidwa ku United States; zaka zisanu pambuyo pake, chiwerengerochi chinangowonjezereka. Pafupifupi 500,000 mwa omwe akuimbidwa mlandu sangakwanitse kulipira belo kapena chindapusa ndipo amakhalabe otsekeredwa.
Ndipo pali anthu aku America 140,000 omwe akukhala m'ndende moyo wonse, 41,000 mwa iwo popanda mwayi womasulidwa. Monga momwe mkulu wa apolisi achinsinsi a Stalin ananenera, “Ndisonyezeni mwamunayo ndipo ndidzakusonyezani mlanduwo. Boma layambitsa mantha a anthu, lafesa mbewu zomwe tonsefe tifunika kutetezedwa ndi…kutsekera anthu ndi kutaya makiyi.
James V. Bennett anali mkulu wa boma la United States m’bungwe la ndende kwa zaka 34. Zodandaula za ma CO zidapita kwa Bennett. Izi zinali nthawi zotukuka kwambiri, pamene ndende zinayesa pang'ono kukonzanso ndi maphunziro. Masiku ano, Bureau ili ndi antchito 38,000.
Masiku ano maofesi andende ndi mafakitale ogwira ntchito zaukapolo omwe akugwira ntchito mokwanira omwe amapeza mamiliyoni kumakampani ogulitsa anthu monga Orwellian-sounding Corrections Corporation of America, Gulu la GEO, ndi Community Education Centers. Ku America wa capitalist, boma limagawana ngakhale akufa ndi ndende zapadera, pogwiritsa ntchito ndalama kuchokera ku Bill ndi Melinda Gates Foundation, kumadera akutali ndi banja la akaidi komanso anthu amndende.
Ndende zaku US masiku ano zili ndi akaidi 2.6 miliyoni m'ndende zopitilira 4,500 zomwe zimalimbikitsidwa ndi zigamulo zochepa komanso ziwonetsero zitatu. Chiwerengerochi ndi 25% mwa akaidi onse m'mayiko onse pamodzi. US ili ndi akaidi 700,000 ochulukirapo kuposa China, dziko lomwe lili ndi anthu kuwirikiza kanayi. Ngakhale kuti sipangakhale kuzunzika kochitika mwachisawawa, chiwawa cha mafuko chili ponseponse. Zosawoneka bwino kwa akaidi m'dziko lina lililonse, mu 2012 kokha panali zochitika za 216,000 za kugwiriridwa kwa ndende, 10% ya akaidi onse aku US. Zoonadi, unyinji wochuluka samachitiridwa lipoti.
Akaidi aku America akulandidwabe ufulu wawo wachibadwidwe monga kuvota. Pafupifupi anthu 2.9 miliyoni aku America akuyang'aniridwa ndi 'kuwongolera'. Ndi 75% ya aku America onse, chiwerengero chachikulu kwambiri cha nzika zosaloledwa m'mbiri, kulikonse. 26% ndi osachita zachiwawa. Anthu XNUMX miliyoni amangidwa chifukwa cha chamba!
Kuphatikiza pamavuto aanthuwa, 34,000 amamangidwa ndi gulu la US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ngati "alendo" osaloledwa tsiku lililonse, akukana njira yoyenera yotsimikiziridwa ndi Constitution ya US. Malo osungira anthu a ICE amayendetsedwa ndi Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo cha Kwawo, kuchitira omangidwawo ngati zigawenga chifukwa chakuti ndi obadwa kunja. Ambiri mwa omangidwawa amayang'anizana ndi kuthamangitsidwa kapena kutsekeredwa m'ndende kwamuyaya chifukwa chongofuna moyo wabwino wokhala ndi mwayi wochulukirapo, kugwira ntchito monga kutola sitiroberi kapena fodya kapena kuyeretsa maiwe osambira, zomwe anthu ochepa aku America obadwa nawo angaganizire. Izi ndi ndende zachinsinsi: palibe amene amadziwitsidwa za kumangidwa kwake.
Zimawononga madola 53.3 biliyoni kutsekera nzika za dziko losaloledwa. M'malo mwake, dziko lalikulu la California likuganiza zogwiritsa ntchito 10% ya bajeti yake kutseka nzika zake. Zimawononga ndalama zokwana madola 24,000,000 kuyambira kumangidwa mpaka kuphedwa kwa mkaidi aliyense woweruzidwa kuti aphedwe. Chiwerengero cha ndende za ku America ndi osauka kwambiri, anthu amitundu yosiyanasiyana. Choncho ndizodabwitsa kwambiri kuti mkulu wa ndende za munthu wakuda, Charles E. Samuels, Jr. Orange ndi wakuda watsopano.
Ntchito ya wotsogolerayo ingagwirizane ndi chipani cha Nazi Adolf Eichmann, yemwenso ndi mkulu wa bungwe la Reich la National network of gulags. Samuels, monga Eichmann, amawongolera bizinesi yovomerezeka yankhanza zopanda mzimu. Olamulira onse amangotsatira malamulo mofatsa, zomwe Hannah Arendt amachitcha "kuletsa zoipa". Katswiri wina wafilosofi wa ku Britain, dzina lake George Bernard Shaw, ananena mu 1907 kuti ndende zili ngati nthomba, “zoipa zopanda nzeru zimene timamwazitsira zigamulo za ukaidi”.
Mlandu waukulu wankhondo wa Bureau of Prisons ndikugwiritsa ntchito kutsekeredwa m'ndende, nthawi zambiri kwazaka zambiri. Palibe kuwala kwachilengedwe, palibe mpweya wabwino, dzuwa, mwezi, nyenyezi kapena nyanja, kwa zaka zambiri. M'manda a konkire. Pofika m’chaka cha 2005, akaidi oposa 80,000 a ku United States anali m’ndende. Komabe, sizokayikitsa kuti Samuels adzazengedwa mlandu chifukwa cha zigawenga zake zankhondo, zomwe sizingalephereke kuti aphedwe popachikidwa koma Samuels ndiyenso wotsogolera wamkulu pakuphedwa kwandende ku America, mlandu wotsutsana ndi anthu.
Oyang'anira atatu akale a BoP, zigawenga zankhondo Harley Lappin, Michael Quinlan, ndi Norman Carlson, apita ku maudindo akuluakulu ndi mabungwe andende, Corrections Corporation of America ndi gulu la GEO. Iliyonse yamakampani ochita malonda paguluwa imapindula ndi ndalama zokwana pafupifupi madola mabiliyoni awiri opangidwa ndi kuvutika kwa anthu.
Ndende zikukhala katundu wopindulitsa ku US, kuyambira ku Colombia, kutsatiridwa ndi Mexico, Honduras, ndi South Sudan.
Mlandu wotsutsana ndi anthu ndi wosasinthika kwambiri pa nkhani ya chilango cha imfa, cholakwa chomwe sichikhoza kuthetsedwa. USA ili pa nambala 3,095 pa chiwerengero chonse cha anthu omwe aphedwa, kuseri kwa China, Iraq, ndi Iran. Ku United States kuli akaidi okwana 43 omwe ali pamzere wophedwa. America mwalamulo anapha anthu 2012 mu 98, ndi theka kuchokera 1999 mu 1974. Mu zaka makumi anayi 2014-144, 17 akaidi anamasulidwa ndi kumasulidwa. Pa Nkhondo Yaikulu, ma CO 50 aku America adaweruzidwa kuti aphedwe. Zoposa 2013% za kuphedwa mu 38 ku Florida ndi Texas. Texas imanena kuti XNUMX% ya kuphedwa kwa US; awiri pa zana aliwonse a zigawo za US ali ndi udindo wa zigamulo zonse za imfa. Mabanja a ozunzidwa amatha kuwona…
Obama ali ndi mbiri yoyipa kwambiri kuposa purezidenti aliyense m'mbiri yokhudzana ndi chifundo. Wapereka zikhululukiro zonse 39 ndipo palibe - ziro - kusintha kwa ziganizo. Tilibe chilango kwa amphamvu ndi kumangidwa kwa opanda mphamvu.
Akaidi onse ndi akaidi a ndale.
Mu 2014, dziko la United States silinalembedwenso usilikali. Koma Selective Service Act ikadalipo ndipo anyamata akuyenera kulembetsa patatha masiku asanu atakwanitsa zaka 18.
Amuna opitilira 20 miliyoni aku America azaka zakubadwa aphwanya lamulo la Selection Service Act la 1980 polephera kulembetsa ali ndi zaka 19, kulephera kumaliza zambiri zolembetsa monga nambala ya Social Security, kulembetsa mochedwa, komanso kulephera kudziwitsa adilesi yawo yapano. mpaka zaka 26, kuyesetsa kukweza gulu lankhondo loyimilira pakachitika nkhondo yosatheka.
