Mwa Jack Gilroy, World BEYOND War, April 9, 2021

Malo ozizira mkatiMgwirizano wapadziko lonse woletsa ma drones okhala ndi zida zankhondo komanso kuyang'anira ankhondo ndi apolisi, otchedwa Ban Killer Drones, akhazikitsidwa. Pitani ku bankilcu.org kuti muwone zotsatira za gululi pazinthu zabwino kwambiri izi ku United States 'sikunaphedwe mwachinsinsi padziko lonse lapansi. Gulu la omwe akhala akumenya nkhondo yankhondo yayitali kuphatikiza a Nick Mottern, Brian Terrell, ndi Chelsea Faria, mothandizidwa ndi Kathy Kelly, David Swanson, Executive Director wa World BEYOND War adagwira ntchito yopanga tsambali kukhala malo abwino kwambiri oletsa kupha ma drones padziko lonse lapansi.

Owerenga omwe akupita patsogolo azikumbukira zaka zolimbana zomwe zidapangitsa kuti zida za nyukiliya ziletsedwe posachedwa komanso kukumbukira kulimbana komwe kumabweretsa mgwirizano pa mabomba okwirira ndi magulu.

Ndimakumbukira bwino komwe ndinali pa Okutobala 1, 2014. Ndinamangidwa maunyolo omangira kuposa kale, ndikugwedeza zala zanga kuti manja anga asachite dzanzi. Ndinadzazidwa pansi pakati pa mpando wakutsogolo ndi kumbuyo kwa galimoto ya Dipatimenti ya Onondaga Sheriff ku Syracuse, NY.

Woweruza wa Khothi Lamilandu la DeWitt a Robert Jokl anali atangonditumiza kumene kupita ku Jamesville Correctional Facility yoyandikira kuti ndikayambe chigamulo cha miyezi itatu chifukwa chotenga nawo gawo pa amafa pachipata chachikulu cha NY Air National Guard 174th Attack Wing ku Hancock Field killer drone base.

Ndinagona pansi, ndikufinya pakati pa mipando, ndinapempha akazembe awiriwo kuti andipatse malo okhala. Wachiwiri pampando wa okwerapo adafuula kuti: "Mukhala kundende m'mphindi 15 zokha kapena kupitilira apo, khalani nanu pomwe."

Ndidakhala nawo, ndikumakhala masiku 60 pamndende yanga yamasiku 90, ndikuchepetsa nthawi kuti ndikhale "wabwino."

Koma ndikukwiyirabe ngati kuti boma langa la US lipitilizabe kupha "omwe akukayikira kuti ndi zigawenga," likuwonjezera nkhondo yake yaku drone, ndikulimbikitsa mayiko ena kuchita zomwezo.

Yakwana nthawi yolimbikitsa mgwirizano kuti uletse ma drones okhala ndi zida padziko lonse lapansi.

The Predator

Nditazindikira zionetsero za drone ku Hancock Field, ndinali nditalemba zolemba zakale za okana kulowa usilikali chifukwa cha chikumbumtima chawo kuchokera ku WWII ndi nkhondo yaku Vietnam, koma tsopano nkhondo inali kumenyedwa kumbuyo kwanga ndipo owerengeka amawoneka kuti akudziwa. Otsutsa ku Hancock anali, kuyesera, kuphunzitsa anthu. Zachisoni, ngakhale pomwe anthu ena aku America adamva zakupha anthu ku United States, zoyeserera za drone zimawoneka ngati zosafunikira kwenikweni kwa iwo. Kupatula apo, zigawenga zinali kumayiko akunja ndipo timafunikira kuti "tiwatulutse" komanso - osadandaula za mfuti za Hellfire komanso mabomba popeza anali ku Middle East, osati ku Syracuse. Hancock's 174th Attack Wing adangochita kuwombera zida zankhondo zikuyenda pamwamba pa omwe akuwakayikira mamailosi zikwizikwi kutali, zomwe zimawoneka ndi oyendetsa ndege a Attack Wing okhala ndi makamera apamwamba a drone kudzera pa satellite.

Ndinafufuza za Predator ndi Reaper drones, ndidayankhula ndi anthu omwe adamangidwa chifukwa cholakwira ku Hancock (ndipo ndidamangidwa kangapo).

Panthawiyo, ndinali wapampando wa St. James Peace and Justice Committee, Johnson City NY, 75 mamailosi kumwera kwa Syracuse. Likulu la Dayosizi ya Syracuse komanso mtsogoleri, Bishopu William Cunningham, anali akuyenda mtunda wautali kuchokera kumalo oyandikira zida zankhondo. Ndidayesa kwa zaka zopitilira ziwiri ndikulemba nawo makalata ndi kuyimba foni kwa Bishop Cunningham. Cholinga changa chinali kumufunsa malingaliro ake pokhala pafupi ndi bungwe lomwe limalimbikitsa kuphedwa, 174th Attack Wing of the New York National Guard, kumtunda kwa msewu pang'ono kuchokera kunyumba kwake.

Khama linapindula. Bishopu adavomera kukumana ndi gulu lathu la anthu asanu ndi amodzi otsutsa.

Ndidafunsa Bishop Cunningham zomwe amaganiza zamakhalidwe oyendetsa zida zankhondo a Hancock. Bishopu Cunningham adati: "Ndi njira imodzi yoletsera nsapato za anyamata athu kudziko lina. Sitifunikira kutumiza anyamata athu kunkhondo ”. Kenako, pambuyo pake anati: “Ukudziwa kuti Akatolika ambiri amagwira ntchito ku Hancock, sichoncho?”

Tinkaganiza kuti izi zidzakhala choncho popeza timadziwa kuti Bishop Cunningham adamupatsa imodzi ansembe otumikira kwa oyendetsa ndege a Hancock.

Pozindikira kuti ofesi ya Bishop idafa, ndidayamba kupanga sewero m'malingaliro mwanga la mayi wachichepere yemwe amayi ake anali woyendetsa ndege ku Creech. Ndinaganiza zopita ndi mutuwo, The Predator, pazifukwa zomveka.

Mu Novembala, 2013, gawo loyamba la The Predator zidachitika ku Georgetown University ndi ophunzira ochokera ku Syracuse University ndi University of Scranton ngati ochita zisudzo. Chochitikacho chinali cha Ignatian Family Teach-In. Mwamwayi, ndinali ndi katswiri wothandizira, Aetna Thompson, membala wakale komanso woyimba pagulu lanyimbo ku Washington lotchedwa "The Capitol Steps".

Pulogalamu yochititsa chidwi idakhazikitsidwa pamsasa, chithunzi cha Reaper drone yopangidwa ndi Nick Mottern, wa Hastings ku Hudson, NY komanso wotsogolera knowdrones.com Nick adayendetsa drone yosasunthika kuchokera kunyumba kwake kupita ku Rt 81 ku Scranton, Pa. Komwe adandionetsa momwe ndingasonkhanitsire ndikuphimba mivi ya Hellfire ndi mabulangete - "kuti mwina State Trooper angadabwe za maroketi awa," adatero Nick . Wokolola anali mnzanga woyenda naye mu Volvo yanga yakale, fuselage ili pa dashboard yanga ndipo mchira ukugundana ndi zenera langa lakumbuyo.

Ndinayendetsa chakumwera pa gig yathu yoyamba ku Georgetown University kenako ku Ft. Benning, GA, komwe ndidayimitsa Wokolola pakhomo lolowera ku Columbus, GA pamsonkhano waukulu ndi chikwangwani chachikulu cholembedwapo cholengeza "MBUSA ”.

The Predator anali ndi miyendo, akusewera m'makalasi ambiri aku koleji ndi maholo amatchalitchi kuzungulira dzikolo kuyambira 2013 mpaka 2017.

Masewerawa akadakalipo Download (ndi tweak kuti muzisinthe) kuti gulu lililonse ligwiritse ntchito.

Kodi kusinkhasinkha, malingaliro azikhalidwe zachiwerewere komanso kupha mwamantha anthu omwe ali ndiukadaulo wapamwamba waku America zidandipangitsa kuti ndilembe seweroli? Mwachidziwikire, chinali chinthu china. Koma, ndimawona kuti zomwe ndidachita ndimasewera sizinali zokwanira, chifukwa chake kumangidwa kwanga ndikumangidwa, zomwe zatchulidwa pamwambapa.

Kupita Padziko Lonse

Ma drones okhala ndi zida alibe chilichonse chotamandika. Ma drones okhala ndi zida ndizonyamula zida zopanda zida zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kupha anthu kumayiko akunja (pakadali pano). Kugwiritsa ntchito ma drones okhala ndi zida zachiwerewere, zosaloledwa, zosankhana mitundu, (zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kupha anthu amtundu) komanso zopusa. Palibe dziko lina lomwe limachita zomwe United States imachita pafupipafupi-kuphedwa ndi zida zankhondo m'malo okhala ngati Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Libya. United States idakali yayikulu kwambiri wotulutsa chiwawa mdziko lapansi ndipo ma drones akupha akhala khadi yathu yoyimbira yoopsa.

A Bill Quigley, pulofesa wa malamulo oyendetsera dziko la Loyola University adateteza ziwonetsero zomwe zidamangidwa chifukwa chazachiwawa. Nthawi yomweyo, Bill.akudziwitsa anthu za zachiwerewere komanso zinthu zosaloledwa za kupha "zigawenga" zomwe zimawakayikira ndi zida zankhondo zopanda zida—- akufa ndi ovulala pafupifupi nthawi zonse kuphatikiza anthu osalakwa.

Zosintha (2020) zolembedwa ndi Bungwe la Investigative Journalism akuti afufuza zankhondo zoposa 14,000 za drone komanso anthu 16,000 omwe aphedwa ndi ma drones aku US. Ovutika kwambiri ndi ma drone amakhalabe opanda dzina ngakhale kumakomiti oyang'anira mabungwe ophunzirira omwe ali ndi zida zankhondo. Ma drones okhala ndi zida amapanga adani owawa padziko lonse lapansi ndipo amadzetsa nkhawa akamabzala kudana ndi kubwezera.

Purezidenti Biden adamaliza mawu ake otsegulira ndi "Mulungu adalitse America ndipo Mulungu ateteze gulu lathu lankhondo." Ndiko komwe tili: kuyamika America ndikupempha Mulungu kuti ateteze magulu athu ankhondo. Makampani opanga zida komanso gulu lachipembedzo lazomanga zankhondo akumwetulira. Zikuwonekeratu kuti tiyenera kufikira kunja kwa malire athu ndikupanga mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi kuti tiwone kupha ndi kuwunika kwa drone.

Ndikulimbikitsa owerenga kuti alowe nawo mgululi kuti akhazikitse malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi oletsa zida zankhondo komanso kuyang'anira. Pitani ku www.bankorene.ru kuyambitsa zochitika zapadziko lonse ndikukakamiza a Joe Biden ndi omwe amakonda demokalase kuti athetse zida zankhondo zoyang'anira zida zankhondo.
