Mwamwayi, mbalame ya dziko la United States ndi chizindikiro cha theka la mtendere chomwe okonda masewera a Philadelphia amakonda kukhala nawo pamagulu otsutsana. Koma mosavomerezeka, filimuyi Mbalame Yachilengedwe ali ndi ufulu: National bird is a killer drone.
Pomaliza, pomaliza, wina adandilola kuti ndiwone filimuyi. Ndipo potsiriza wina anapanga filimuyi. Pakhala pali ma drone angapo mafilimu ofunika kuona, ambiri a iwo ongopeka sewero, ndi imodzi yofunika kwambiri kuipewa (Diso Kumwamba). Koma Mbalame Yachilengedwe ndi chowonadi chosamveka, chosiyana kwambiri ndi zomwe mungayerekezere nkhani zapawailesi zikadakhala m'dziko lamatsenga momwe mawailesi amawu amawonetsa moyo wamunthu.
Theka loyamba la Mbalame Yachilengedwe ndi nkhani za anthu atatu omwe adachita nawo pulogalamu yakupha ya asitikali aku US, monga momwe adafotokozera. Ndiyeno, mutangoyamba kuganiza kuti muyenera kulemba ndemanga yachikale yodziwika bwino yomwe imayamikira momwe nkhani za omwe adazunzidwa pakati pa adaniwo zidanenedwera koma ndikufunsa mokwiyitsidwa ngati aliyense mwa omwe adazunzidwa ndi mizinga yeniyeniyo ali nawo. nkhani, Mbalame Yachilengedwe imakulitsa kuphatikiza zomwe nthawi zambiri zimasoweka, ndipo ngakhale kuphatikiza nkhani ziwirizi mwamphamvu.
Heather Linebaugh ankafuna kuteteza anthu, kupindulitsa dziko, kuyenda, kuona dziko, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito luso lapamwamba kwambiri. Zikuoneka kuti gulu lathu silinamufotokozere m’kupita kwa nthawi tanthauzo la kulowa usilikali. Tsopano akuvutika ndi liwongo, nkhawa, kuvulazidwa m'makhalidwe, PTSD, vuto la kugona, kukhumudwa, komanso kudzimva kuti ali ndi udindo wolankhula m'malo mwa abwenzi, omenyera nkhondo ena, omwe adzipha kapena adakwa kwambiri kuti adzinenere okha. Linebaugh adathandizira kupha anthu ndi zida zoponyera ma drones, ndikuwawona akufa, ndikuzindikira ziwalo zathupi kapena kuyang'ana okondedwa akusonkhanitsa ziwalo zathupi.
Ngakhale adakali mu Air Force, Linebaugh anali pamndandanda wowonera anthu odzipha ndipo adauzidwa ndi katswiri wa zamaganizo kuti amusamutsire ntchito ina, koma Air Force idakana. Ali ndi magawo. Amawona zinthu. Iye amamva zinthu. Koma amaletsedwa kukambitsirana za ntchito yake ndi anzake kapena ngakhale ndi dokotala amene alibe “chilolezo chachitetezo” choyenera.
Tinakhumudwitsa Daniel kuposa Heather. Akuti amatsutsa zankhondo koma analibe pokhala komanso wosimidwa, motero adalowa usilikali. Tikanamupatsa nyumba yocheperapo kuposa momwe tidamulipira kuti athandize kupha anthu ku Fort Meade.
Lisa Ling adagwira ntchito pa database yodzazidwa ndi kuwunika kwa ma drone komwe kunapanga zambiri pa "zolinga" za 121,000 m'zaka ziwiri. Chulukitsani izo ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri. Pokhala ndi 90% ya omwe adazunzidwa osati m'gulu lazolinga, onjezani kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe angamwalire pakutsata mndandanda wonsewo. Izi zitha kukhala zopitilira 7 miliyoni. Koma si manambala amene awononga miyoyo ya asilikali atatuwa; ndi ana, ndi amayi, ndi abale, ndi amalume agona pansi.
Ling amapita ku Afghanistan kuti akawone malowa pansi komanso kukakumana ndi omwe akhudzidwa ndi drone. Amakumana ndi kamnyamata kakang'ono kamene kanaduka mwendo ndi mchimwene wake wazaka 4 ndi mlongo wake ndi abambo ake. Pa February 2, 2010, "oyendetsa ndege" ku Creech Air Base anapha anthu 23 osalakwa a banja limodzi.
Opanga mafilimu ali ndi mawu owerengera zomwe oyendetsa drone adanena kwa wina ndi mzake kale, panthawi, komanso pambuyo potumiza mivi yomwe inawononga. Izi ndi zoipa kuposa Wachigundi Akupha. Anthu omwe ntchito yawo ndi yozindikira ana ndi ena omwe sayenera kuphedwa azindikira ana pakati pa gulu la anthu omwe akuzunzidwa. "Oyendetsa ndege" ku Creech akufunitsitsa kukana izi ndikuyamba kupha anthu ambiri momwe angathere. Chilakolako chawo cha mwazi chimayendetsa njira yachigamulo. Pokhapokha atapha anthu 23 ndipamene amazindikira ana pakati pa omwe adapulumuka, komanso kusowa kwa mfuti.
Tikuwona matupi akubweretsedwa kunyumba kuti akaiike. Ovulalawo amafotokoza kuzunzika kwawo, thupi komanso maganizo. Timaona anthu akuikidwa miyendo yochita kupanga. Timamva anthu aku Afghan akufotokoza momwe amaonera ma drones. Amalingalira, monga momwe Achimereka ambiri angaganizire, komanso monga owonera Diso Kumwamba angaganize, kuti oyendetsa ma drone ali ndi malingaliro omveka bwino, apamwamba pa chilichonse. M'malo mwake, amawona mabulogu ang'onoang'ono pakompyuta omwe amawoneka ngati adapangidwa m'ma 1980.
Linebaugh akuti palibe njira yosiyanitsira mabulogu ang'onoang'ono "wamba" ndi mabulogu ang'onoang'ono "ankhondo". Daniel atamva Purezidenti Obama akunena kuti nthawi zonse pamakhala chitsimikiziro chakuti palibe munthu wamba amene adzaphedwa, Daniel akufotokoza kuti kudziwa koteroko sikutheka. Linebaugh akuti nthawi zambiri amakhala kumbali yakukambirana ndikuuza "oyendetsa ndege" ku Creech kuti asaphe anthu osalakwa, koma nthawi zonse amakankhira chilolezo kuti aphe.
Jesselyn Radack, loya wa oimba mluzu, akunena mufilimuyi kuti FBI inauza anthu awiri omwe amawafotokozera kuti gulu lachigawenga lawaika pa mndandanda wakupha. Ananenanso kuti FBI idalumikizananso ndi banja la Linebaugh ndikumuchenjeza kuti "zigawenga" zakhala zikusakasaka dzina lake pa intaneti, ndikuwonetsa kuti athetse vutoli potseka. (Analemba ndi op-ed mu Guardian).
A FBI amawononganso nyumba ya Daniel, akufika ndi antchito 30 mpaka 50, mabaji, mfuti, makamera, ndi zikalata zofufuzira. Amamulanda mapepala, zamagetsi, ndi foni. Amamuwuza kuti akufufuzidwa chifukwa chomuimba mlandu pansi pa Espionage Act. Ili ndi lamulo lanthawi ya Nkhondo Yadziko Lonse loyang'ana adani akunja omwe Purezidenti Obama adagwiritsa ntchito chizolowezi cholimbana ndi omwe amawulula milandu kunyumba. Ngakhale a Obama adzudzula anthu ochulukirapo pansi pa lamuloli kuposa omwe apurezidenti onse am'mbuyomu adaphatikiza, mwina tilibe njira yodziwira kuti ndi anthu angati omwe adawopsezedwa kuti ndizotheka.
Pamene kuli kwakuti tiyenera kupepesa, kutonthoza, ndi kuwathandiza achichepere ameneŵa m’malo mowamana ufulu wolankhula ndi aliyense ndi kuwawopseza kuti ali m’ndende zaka makumi ambiri, Lisa Ling anakwanitsa kupeza chifundo. Anthu omwe anazunzidwa ndi ndege za drone ku Afghanistan adamuuza kuti amukhululukira. Pamene filimuyi ikutha, akukonzekera ulendo wina wopita ku Afghanistan.
