NaJack Gilroy, World BEYOND War, April 9, 2021

Mahwanda mukatiternational kufamba kurambidza zvombo zvema drones uye zvechiuto nemapurisa kuongororwa, rakanzi Ban Killer Drones, yakatangwa. Enda ku washingtonaut.com kuona timu inoshanda mhedzisiro yeichi chakanakisa zviwanikwa kuUnited States 'kwete zvakavanzika kuuraya kutenderera pasirese. Boka revatambi venguva refu vanorwisa-drone varongi vehondo vanosanganisira Nick Mottern, Brian Terrell, naChelsea Faria, nerutsigiro kubva katatu-mukwikwidzi weNoble Peace Prize Kathy Kelly, naDavid Swanson, Executive Director we World BEYOND War yakashanda kugadzira saiti ino nzvimbo yekutanga sosi yekurambidza mhondi drones pasi rese.

Vaverengi vanofambira mberi vanozoyeuka makore ekurwa akaburitsa kurambidzwa kwezvombo zvenyukireya pamwe nekurangarira kurwira kwakaburitsa zvibvumirano nezvezvimbambaira nemabhomba emasumbu.

Ndinoyeuka zvakanaka kwandakanga ndiri panaGumiguru 1, 2014. Ndakanga ndakasungwa maoko akasunga zvandakanga ndisati ndamboita, ndichigwinha minwe yangu kuti maoko angu arege kupera simba. Ndakanga ndakazadzwa ndakapfugama pakati pechigaro chepamberi neshure kwemotokari yeDhipatimendi reOnondaga Sheriff muSyrause, NY.

Mutongi weDeWitt Town Court Mutongi Robert Jokl anga achangondituma ndichienda kuJamesville Correctional Facility iri padyo kuti ndinotanga mutongo wemwedzi mitatu yekutora chikamu kwangu kufa-in pagedhi hombe re NY Air National Guard 174th Attack Wing kuHancock Field mhondi drone base.

Ndakarara pasi, ndakasvinwa pakati pezvigaro, ndakakumbira vatevedzeri vaviri kuti vandipe nzvimbo yekugara. Mutevedzeri wechigaro chevatakuri akashevedzera kuti: "Uchange uri mujeri mumaminitsi gumi nemashanu chete kana zvakadaro, rarama nazvo."

Ndakagara nayo, ndichishumira mazuva makumi matanhatu emutongo wangu wemazuva makumi mapfumbamwe, nenguva ichideredzwa ye "hunhu hwakanaka."

Asi ini ndichiri kupenga segehena kuti hurumende yangu yeUS iri kuramba ichiuraya "vanofungidzirwa kuti magandanga," inowedzera hondo yayo yedrone, uye inokurudzira dzimwe nyika kuti dziite zvakafanana.

Yenguva yekusimudzira chibvumirano chekurambidza zvombo uye zvekutarisa drones pasirese.

The Predator

Pandakazoziva nezvekuratidzira kwedrone kuHancock Field, ini ndanga ndanyora kuuya kwemazera enhau nezvevanoramba zvehana nekuda kwehana kubva kuWWII nehondo yeVietnam, asi ikozvino hondo yanga ichirwiswa muyadhi yangu yekumashure uye vashoma vaiita kunge vanoziva nezvazvo. Ivo vapambi paHancock vaive, chokwadika, vachiedza kudzidzisa veruzhinji. Zvinosuruvarisa, kunyangwe vamwe maAmerican pavakadzidza nezve kuuraya kunoshanda kunze kweUnited States madhiraoni, zviito zvekutyisa kwedrone zvakaita kunge zvisina kukosha kwavari. Mushure mezvose, magandanga aive kune dzimwe nyika uye isu taifanirwa "kuvaburitsa" uye - - kwete kunetseka nezveMoto wegehena nemabhomba sezvo vaive kuMiddle East, kwete muSirakuse. Hancock's 174th Attack Wing yakangoita yekupfura kwemagetsi zvombo zvichikwira pamusoro pevanofungidzirwa zviuru zvemakiromita kure, zvichionekwa zvirokwazvo neAtack Wing vatyairi vane yepamusoro tech drone kamera kuburikidza nesatellite.

Ndakatsvaga Predator uye Reaper drones, ndakataura nevanhu avo vakasungwa nekuda kwekudarika paHancock (uye ndakasungwa kakati wandei).

Panguva iyoyo, ini ndaive sachigaro weSt.James Runyararo neRuramisiro Committee, Johnson City NY, 75 mamaira kumaodzanyemba kweSirakuse. Iwo mahofisi makuru eSirakuse Diocese uye mutungamiri, Bhishopi William Cunningham, anga achifamba musango kubva padyo nechombo chiri pedyo. Ndakanga ndamboedza kweanopfuura makore maviri netsamba uye kufona kutaura naBishop Cunningham. Chinangwa changu chaive chekumubvunza maonero ake nezvekuve padyo nesangano iro rinoronga kuuraya, iyo 174th Attack Wing yeNew York National Guard, kumusoro kwemugwagwa zvishoma kubva kwaaigara.

Kutsungirira kwakabhadharwa. Bhishopi akabvuma kusangana nechikwata chedu chevashori vatanhatu.

Ndakabvunza Bishop Cunningham kuti aifungei nezvehunhu hweHancock zvombo zve drone. Bishop Cunningham vakati: “Imwe nzira yekuita kuti bhutsu dzevakomana vedu dzibve kune imwe nyika. Hatidi kutumira majaya edu kuhondo ”. Ipapo, gare gare, akati: “Unoziva here kuti vaKaturike vazhinji vanoshanda kuHancock, handiti?”

Isu takanga tafunga kuti zvive zvakadaro sezvo taiziva kuti Bishop Cunningham vakapa mumwe wavo vapristi kushumira kuna Hancock drone vatyairi.

Ndichiona kuti hofisi yaBishop yakanga yafa, ndakatanga kugadzira mutambo mupfungwa dzangu yemukadzi wechidiki aive naamai vake aive mutyairi wendege kuCreech. Ndakafunga kuenda nemusoro wenyaya, The Predator, nekuda kwezvikonzero zviri pachena.

MunaNovember, 2013, yekutanga staging ye The Predator yakaitwa kuGeorgetown University nevadzidzi vanobva kuSyrause University uye iyo University yeScranton sevatambi. Chiitiko ichi chaive cheIgnatian Mhuri Dzidzisa-In. Nekutenda, ndaive nehunyanzvi hwekubatsira, Aetna Thompson, aimbove nhengo uye muimbi neboka revatambi muWashington rinonzi "The Capitol Steps".

Chirongwa chekubata maziso chakamiswa pamusasa, fosi yeReaper drone yakagadzirirwa uye yakagadzirwa naNick Mottern, weHastings paHudson, NY uye murongi we knowdrones.com Nick akatyaira dhoni dhoni rakabviswa kubva kumba kwake kuenda kuRt 81 muScranton, Pa. Kwaakandiratidza maunganidziro acho ndokuzofukidza zvombo zvegehena zveGehena nemagumbeze- "zvimwe kana State Trooper ikashamisika nezve maroketi aya," akadaro Nick. . Mucheki ndiye wandaifamba naye muVolvo yangu yekare, iyo fuselage yakazorora padashboard rangu uye muswe uchirova hwindo rangu rekumashure.

Ndakaendesa kumaodzanyemba kune yedu yekutanga gig kuGeorgetown University uye ndokuzoenda kuFt. Benning, GA, kwandakamisikidza Reaper kuseka pamusuwo weColumbus, GA musangano wekokorodzano chiine chikwangwani chihombe chakatumirwa pairi chichizivisa "MUPEDZI ”.

The Predator aive nemakumbo, achitamba mumakampasi mazhinji ekoreji uye dzimba dzechechi dzakakomberedza nyika kubva kutenderera 2013 kusvika 2017.

Marie Shebeck, Chicago anti-hondo uye Close Guantanamo murongi, played anti-warongi murongi "Kelly McGuire" mune 2013 kuverenga kwaJack Gilroy's Mupambi.

Mutambo uchiripo kune download (uye tweak kuunza izvozvi) kuti chero boka rishandise.

Kufungidzira, kufunga kwehunhu husina kujairika uye kuuraya kwoumbwende kwevanhu vane hunyanzvi hwepamusoro hwehugandanga hweAmerica kwakanditungamira kunyora mutambo? Zvichida, chaive chinhu. Asi, ndainzwa kuti zvandaive ndaita nekutamba zvaive zvisina kukwana, nekudaro kusungwa kwangu nekuiswa mutirongo, zvataurwa pamusoro.

Kuenda kune dzimwe nyika

Drones dzakashongedzwa hadzina chinhu chinorumbidzwa. Drones dzakashongedzerwa ndezvisina kutakurwa zvombo zvinotakura zvinoshandiswa kuuraya vanhu kune dzimwe nyika (dzazvino) nyika. Iko kushandiswa kweakashongedzerwa nedrones kusazvibata, zvisiri pamutemo, rusaruraganda, (rinoshandiswa zvakanyanya kuuraya vanhu veruvara) uye pragmatically benzi. Hakuna imwe nyika inoita zvinoitwa neUnited States kazhinji-kuurayiwa nedrones dzine zvombo munzvimbo dzakaita seAfghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Libya. United States ichiri chikuru purveyor yemhirizhonga mupasi uye mhondi drones rave kadhi redu rekufona rinouraya.

Bill Quigley, purofesa weLoyola University wezvebumbiro remutemo akadzivirira varatidziri vakasungwa nezviito zvisina mhirizhonga. Panguva imwecheteyo, Bill.ari kusimudzira kuziva nezvehunhu hwedu uye zviito zvisiri pamutemo yekuuraya vanofungidzirwa "magandanga" nema drones ane zvombo—-- vakafa uye vakakuvara dzinenge nguva dzose kusanganisira vanhuwo zvavo vasina mhosva.

Iyo yekuvandudza (2020) neiyo Bhuku reInvestigative Journalism inoshuma kuti vakateedzera pamusoro pe14,000 drone stike uye vanosvika 16,000 vanhu vakaurawa neUS drones. Vazhinji vanobatwa nedrone vanoramba vasina zita kunyangwe kumakomisheni ekutarisa emusangano vachidzidza zvombo zvehondo. Drones dzemauto dzinoita vavengi vanovava kutenderera pasirese uye kugadzira kusachengeteka sezvavanodyara kuvenga nokutsiva.

Mutungamiri Biden vakapedza kutaura kwavo kwekugadzwa na "Dai Mwari varopafadza America uye Mwari vachengetedze mauto edu." Ndipo patiri: kurumbidza America uye kukumbira Mwari kuti vachengetedze mauto edu. Indasitiri yemaoko neruoko rwechitendero rwemauto nemaindasitiri ari kunyemwerera. Zviripachena kuti isu tinofanirwa kusvika kunze kwemiganhu yedu uye nekuvaka kubvumirana kwenyika dzese kuti tione kuuraya uye kuongorora kwedrone.

Ini ndinokurudzira vaverengi kujoina musangano kuti vagadzire kurambidzwa kwenyika dzese kune zvombo uye zvekutarisa drones. Enda ku www.achavemestrkes.com kutanga kuita kwepasirese panguva yekumanikidza Joe Biden uye nehondo inokanganisa maDemocrat kuti apedze zvombo uye zvekutarisa drones.
