By David Swanson

Kwa zaka ndi zaka, olimbikitsa boma adafuna kuti boma la United States lidziwitse masamba 28 (omwe anakhala 29) omwe adawawerengera kuchokera ku lipoti, chifukwa iwo akukayikira kuti adzawonetsa gawo la Saudi Arabia popereka ndalama ndikuthandizira milandu ya September 11, 2001. Pamene mapepalawa adatsimikiziridwa, adasonyeza umboni wochuluka wa zomwezo. Koma boma la US ndi zofalitsa zake zofalitsa ziweto zidayika nkhaniyi Lachisanu madzulo, adanena kuti ndithudi izi ndizo, ndipo adasuntha.

Ngati mungapeze izi ndikumva phokoso, mudzakhala ndi chidwi ndi masamba ena 203, omwe akupanga buku latsopano la Medea Benjamin, Ufumu wa osalungama. Ngati mukukhala ku United States, muyenera kudziwa momwe boma lanu likuyesetsa kuthana ndi milandu ya Saudi Arabia ku United States, Saudi Arabia, komanso m'malo ngati Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, ndi zina zambiri Ngati mulipira misonkho ku US, muyenera kudziwa zomwe mukugula. Ngati mumagwira ntchito yopanga zida zaku US, muyenera kudziwa omwe akugula zomwe mumapanga, ndi zomwe amagwiritsa ntchito. Ngati mukuyendetsa galimoto, mwina mukuthandizira kuwononga nyengo yapadziko lapansi kwinaku mukuthandizira mafumu achi Saudi.

Amfumu achi Saudi amasunga mamiliyoni ambiri osauka kwinaku akuwombera chuma. Amatumiza apolisi achipembedzo kuti akawotche anthu, pomwe nawonso amachita nawo mowa, cocaine, mahule, komanso kutchova juga. Monga ma televangelist ambiri pafupi ndi kwawo, samakhulupirira ng'ombe zawo, koma amazigwiritsa ntchito kuzunza anthu aku Saudi Arabia ndi kwina kulikonse. Apolisi achipembedzo samangofuna kuti mukhale achipembedzo. M'malo mwake zipembedzo zambiri ndizoletsedwa ndipo mutha kumangidwa, kuzunzidwa, kudulidwa kapena kudulidwa mutu chifukwa chotsatira izi. Ndipo samangofuna kuti mukhale Msilamu wachikhulupiriro wosiyanasiyana. Amafuna kutsata amuna osagwirizana ndi amuna kapena akazi anzawo - kapena kufa. Anamenya mwamuna mpaka kufa chifukwa chomwa mowa, natsekera mkazi chifukwa chokwera yekha taxi, ndikupha atsikana 15 powakana kuwalola kuthawa nyumba yoyaka chifukwa sanali kuvala Abayas, zovala zobisala matupi awo.

Mothandizidwa ndi US, Saudi Arabia ikwanitsa kukhala dziko lokhalo lomwe likuletsa mipingo yonse komanso nyumba iliyonse yachipembedzo yomwe si yachisilamu, komanso wotsogolera uchigawenga wapadziko lonse lapansi. Saudi Arabia imaletsa Ayuda kulowa mdzikolo, mwina kulimbikitsa malingaliro a a Donald Trump oletsa Asilamu kulowa ku United States, pomwe akupangitsanso zovuta kwa ankhondo achitetezo aku US omwe akufuna kuphulitsa mayiko atsopano kuti apewe kubwereza za holocaust - ngakhale polimbikitsa Saudi Arabia kuti iwononge ndalama zambiri pankhondo (monga a Trump ndi Bernie Sanders ndi Purezidenti Barack Obama achita bwino kwambiri). M'malo mwake, Saudi Arabia imawononga ndalama zochulukirapo katatu pamunthu aliyense momwe US ​​imagwirira ntchito yankhondo, ndipo imagwiritsa ntchito gawo lalikulu kwambiri pogula zida kuchokera kwa omwe amapindula ndi US.

"Kuchotsa kwamuyaya" komwe Purezidenti George W. Bush ndi Barack Obama amalola kuti Saudi Arabia ichoke mu US State department chifukwa chankhanza zachipembedzo. Kupulumutsidwa kwa Bush ndi Obama kulolanso asitikali aku US kuti apite kukaphunzitsa asitikali aku Saudi. Kuchotsa kopangidwa ndi Secretary of State a Hillary Clinton kulola kugulitsa zida ku US. Clinton adapanga ntchito yake pambuyo pa Saudi Arabia kuyika $ 10 miliyoni ku Clinton Foundation. Monga momwe US ​​State department idadziwira ndipo akudziwa bwino, palibe ufulu wachibadwidwe ku Saudi Arabia. Anthu amamangidwa, kukwapulidwa, ndi kuphedwa chifukwa cholankhula, ndipo kuyankhula kumatsutsidwa mwamphamvu. Saudi Arabia sinaletsenso ukapolo mpaka 1962 ndipo ili ndi dongosolo lazantchito lotchedwa "chikhalidwe cha ukapolo." "Lamulo la sharia" lomwe zigawenga za ku America nthawi zonse zimawopa lidzawonekera m'tawuni yawo makamaka zimakhala zoyipa ku Saudi Arabia motsogozedwa ndi boma lankhanza lotsogozedwa ndi ndalama ndi manja aku US.

Saudi Arabia siziika zoyipa zake pa Youtube momwe ISIS imachitira, ndipo kutero ndi chiopsezo chachikulu kwa anthu wamba ku Saudi Arabia. Komabe ndiyoyambira, ndipo pali zokhumudwitsa zomwe mungayang'ane ngati muli okonda kwambiri.

Saudi Arabia sinakhalebe chandamale cha gulu lachi Clintonite lankhondo lachifundo lofuna kupondereza maboma chifukwa cha ufulu wa amayi, komabe Saudi Arabia imagwiritsa ntchito tsankho pakati pa amuna ndi akazi, pomwe azimayi amaletsa ufulu wonse wamwamuna, akazi olamulidwa ndi amuna kwathunthu, umboni wa akazi kukhothi nthawi zina amtengo wapatali kuposa theka la amuna, ndipo lipoti la amayi lakuwukira kwa abambo limawerengedwa kuti ndi mlandu ndi mkazi. Simukuwona azimayi aku Saudi ku Olimpiki chifukwa saloledwa kuvala zovala zofunika pamipikisanoyo. Malo odyera aku Saudi ali ndi zigawo zakutsogolo ndi zakumbuyo, zokhala ndi kutsogolo kwa amuna okha. Saudi Arabia imakhala ndi magalimoto oyatsa moto, komabe ndi dziko lokhalo padziko lapansi pomwe akazi saloledwa kuyendetsa.

Kodi Saudi ikukondwera ndi gulu lawo lankhanza? Pali zisonyezo zambiri mwina, kuphatikiza kusamuka, kuyenda, kuchita ziwonetsero molimba mtima, kuphatikiza izi: Amuna omwe amachita mitala ku Saudi Arabia ali ndi mwayi wokudwala matenda amtima kanayi.

Odala kapena ayi, Saudis akhala akudziwa bwino kutumiza misala yawo. Hollywood ikhoza kutenga maphunziro (ndipo yathandiza). Sukulu za Saudi zathandizira kupanga nthambi za Al Qaeda ndi magulu ena opondereza ku Western Asia ndi kumpoto kwa Africa kuyambira panthawi yomwe ntchito ya US-Saudi inagwirizanitsa ku Afghanistan yomwe idalenga anthu a Taliban, kuphatikizapo gawo la Saudi ku Iran-Contra, komanso kuphatikizapo Boko Haram ku Nigeria, komanso ku Ulaya. Apolisi omwe adagonjetsa ku Paris chaka chatha ndi Belgium chaka chino adachokera ku dera la Belgium ndi mphamvu yaku Saudi. Mu 2014 Ministry of the Interior of Saudi Arabia inanena kuti 1,200 Saudis wapita ku Syria kuti agwirizane ndi ISIS. Phunziro la 2014 ndi bungwe la Washington linapeza kuti zopereka zapadera za Saudi zinali zofunika kwambiri pa kukula kwa ISIS.

Mlembi wa boma panthawiyo a Hillary Clinton adati mu chingwe cha 2009 (zikomo, WikiLeaks), "Othandizira ku Saudi Arabia ndiwo omwe amapereka ndalama zambiri m'magulu achigawenga a Sunni padziko lonse lapansi. . . . Zambiri ziyenera kuchitidwa. . . . ” Ndiye, Clinton adachita chiyani? Anagulitsa Saudi Arabia zida zina, zachidziwikire! Saudi Arabia tsopano ndi kasitomala wamkulu wazida ku United States, chifukwa chake kwa aliyense. Izi zikuphatikiza pafupifupi $ 100 biliyoni pakugulitsa zida zaku US pansi paulamuliro wa Obama, ndikuyembekezera zambiri. A Benjamin akugwira mawu oyang'anira a Obama omwe adayamika malonda awa ngati njira yopezera ntchito. Izi ndizachidziwikire ngakhale kuti kuwononga ndalama mwamtendere kumabweretsa Zambiri ntchito, ndi mfundo yakuti zida zimalenga chinthu china: imfa.

United States ikupitilizabe kuthamangitsa zida zambiri ku Saudi Arabia momwe amazigwiritsira ntchito - mothandizidwa ndi asitikali aku US - kuti aphulitse nyumba, zipatala, ndi masukulu ku Yemen, kupha nzika zikwizikwi komanso osakhala anthu wamba ndi zikwizikwi, kuphatikiza kugwiritsa ntchito za mabomba abulu.

Pamene Tunisia idalanda mwankhanza popanda nkhondo ku 2011, achifwamba achi Saudi adakondwera. Adathawira kwa wolamulira waku Tunisia. Anatumiza ndalama ku Jordan ndi ku Morocco kuti akalimbikitse maboma awo ankhanza. Iwo adathandizira gulu lankhondo ku Egypt. Adasokoneza chipolowe chotchuka ku Bahrain ndi kupha, kuzunza, ndi kutsekera m'ndende - zomwe zikuchitikabe. Ndipo, zachidziwikire, adayamba kuphulitsa bomba ku Yemen, kuphedwa kwa ma drone aku US kudawonongera ndikuthandizira kufafaniza dzikolo. M'malo mwake, ma drones aku US omwe akuuluka ku Yemen achoka ku US ku Saudi Arabia, china chake Obama adapanga Bush atachotsa asitikali aku US ku Saudi Arabia ndikutseka maziko - kusunthika kolimbikitsidwa ndi milandu ya 9/11 komanso momveka bwino yankho lopezeka kulira kopusa "Chifukwa chiyani amatida?" Iwo adanena zomwe amadana nazo: mabungwe aku US omwe Bush Woyamba adayika ku Saudi Arabia. Ndipo Saudi Arabia idakana kuwathamangitsa pomwe a Lad Laden adafuna chifukwa boma la Saudi limadalira United States kuti isapitilize zopanda chilungamo.

Obama, yemwe adayambiranso zachiwawa izi, komanso yemwe akuti wakwiyitsidwa ndi nkhanza za Saudi Arabia, akuti abwezera Saudi Arabia chifukwa "chokhazikika." "Nthawi zina," akutero a Obama, "timafunikira kulimba mtima pakufunika kuwauza za ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi nkhawa zomwe tili nazo pakuthana ndi uchigawenga kapena kukhazikika kwa zigawo." Komabe Saudi Arabia ndiye chifukwa chachikulu (kunja kwa United States yomwe) yakusakhazikika m'deralo, al Qaeda ndi ISIS zikuwononga kwambiri Saudi Arabia, ndipo boma la Saudi lokha limakhala lokhazikika ngati kork ku phiri lophulika. Kuyamikiridwa ndi Obama, samatanthauza chilichonse chomwe anena, ndipo wabwerera kumbuyo kukayankha Saudi Arabia kuti idzayankhe mlandu pamene Saudis adaopseza kuti atulutsa ndalama ku United States, osati pomwe zikuwoneka ngati gwero la kukhazikika ndi chitetezo.

Komabe, ena amakhumudwitsidwa ngati boma linalake ndi maboma omwe amachititsa nkhanza m'dziko lanu (pa 9 / 11) ndiyeno akuopseza kukupwetekani inu ngati muli anati Chilichonse chokhudza izi. Koma bwanji palibe amene anena chilichonse za izi? Mu 2015, malinga ndi The Hill, A Saudis adagwiritsa ntchito makampani asanu ndi atatu a DC ophatikizira kuphatikiza Podesta Gulu, yoyendetsedwa ndi wopereka ndalama kwa a Hillary Clinton a Tony Podesta, komanso woyambitsa kampeni ya Clinton a John Podesta. Saudi Arabia iponya ndalama ku "akasinja oganiza" aku US omwe sangaletsedwe ku Saudi Arabia, ndi mabungwe ena kuphatikiza Middle East Institute, Harvard, Yale, Clinton Foundation, Carter Center, ndi zina zambiri.

Kuti mupeze masamba ena aku 275 aku Saudi ayese a Robert Vitalis America's Kingdom: Kupanga zabodza pa Malire a Saudi. Koma yambani ndi 203 ya Medea Benjamin, yomwe imaphatikizaponso malingaliro pazomwe zingachitike kuti mupite patsogolo. Mafuta a Saudi Arabia, komanso mafuta onse ochokera kwina kulikonse, apangitsa kuti Saudi Arabia ikhale yopanda anthu ambiri ku United States asanakhale choncho. Kuyembekezera mwachidwi, ndikuganiza, kumatanthauza kuyang'ana mtsogolo mwa othawa kwawo opitilira 30 miliyoni ndi kuthekera kwathu kuti timvetsetse anthu omwe akuthawa, gawo lathu pakupanga, komanso udindo wathu wowalandira.
