ISICATSHULWA YELETA:
Sinibhalela njengabahlali base-US ngentlonipho enkulu kwiipolisi zenu zasekhaya.
Siyasixhasa isikhundla sabantu abangaphezu kwama-25,000 abatyikityeyo isikhalazo ngexesha lephulo lakho likamongameli likubongoza ukuba uthabathe umkhosi.
Sikholelwa ukuba uGqr. King wayechanekile ukuchaza ukuba ubuhlanga, ukuthanda izinto eziphathekayo ngokugqithiseleyo, kunye nemfazwe kufuneka kucelwe umngeni kunye kunokwahlukana, kwaye oku kuhlala kuyinyani.
Sikholelwa ukuba oku akusiyo kuphela isiluleko esisebenzayo, kodwa isisinyanzelo sokuziphatha, kwaye - kungekhona nje ngengozi - ezopolitiko ezilungileyo zonyulo.
Ngexesha lephulo lakho likamongameli, wabuzwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba uya kuhlawula njani iimfuno zabantu kunye nezokusingqongileyo ezinokuhlawulelwa ngamaqhezu amancinci enkcitho yasemkhosini. Impendulo yakho ibisoloko intsonkothile kwaye ibibandakanya ukunyuswa kwerhafu. Sikholelwa ukuba kuya kusebenza ngakumbi ukukhankanya rhoqo ubukho bomkhosi kunye nethegi yexabiso layo. "Ndiza kunqumla i-4% yenkcitho kwi-Pentagon engazange ihlolwe" yimpendulo ephezulu kuyo yonke indlela kuyo nayiphi na inkcazo yaso nasiphi na isicwangciso serhafu.
Uninzi lweemeko esikholelwa ukuba kufuneka zenziwe i vidiyo ifakwe kwiphepha lakho le-Facebook ekuqaleni kwe-2018. Kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo ayikho kwizimvo zakho zoluntu kunye neziphakamiso zomgaqo-nkqubo. Yangoku nje Isicwangciso se-10-point ishiya nakuphi na ukukhankanywa komgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle.
Sikholelwa ukuba oku kushiyiwa asiyontsilelo nje. Sikholelwa ukuba yenza oko kuqukiweyo kungahambelani. Inkcitho yasemkhosini iphelile 60% yenkcitho enokuvela. Umgaqo-nkqubo woluntu othintela ukukhankanya ubukho bawo awungomgaqo-nkqubo woluntu konke konke. Ngaba inkcitho yasemkhosini kufuneka inyuke okanye ihle okanye ihlale ingatshintshi? Lo ngumbuzo wokuqala. Sisebenza apha ngesixa semali ubuncinci esinokuthelekiswa noko kunokufunyanwa ngokurhafisa izityebi kunye namaqumrhu (into ngokuqinisekileyo esiyixhasayo nayo).
Iqhekeza elincinci lenkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US inokuba ukuphela kwendlala, ukungabikho kwamanzi acocekileyo kunye nezifo ezahlukahlukeneyo emhlabeni jikelele. Akukho mgaqo-nkqubo wokuncedisa umntu onokuthi ugweme ubukho bempi. Akukho ngxoxo kholeji or amandla ahlanzekileyo or uwonkewonke kufuneka ishiye ukukhankanya indawo apho itriliyoni yeedola ngonyaka iya khona.
Imfazwe kunye namalungiselelo emfazwe phakathi kwabatshabalalisi abaphezulu, ukuba akunjalo mtshabalazi ophezulu, yethu yemvelo indawo. Akukho mgaqo-nkqubo wemekobume onokuzityeshela.
I-Militarism ngowona mthombo uphezulu wokukhukuliseka kwenkululeko, kunye nokuthetheleleka okuphezulu kwemfihlo karhulumente, phezulu. umdali of ababaleki, umonakalisi ophezulu wolawulo lomthetho, phezulu Umququzeleli lokubukulwa kwabemi bamanye amazwe kunye nokucalula, kunye nesizathu esiphezulu sisemngciphekweni weapocalypse yenyukliya. Akukho ndawo kubomi bethu bentlalo engakhange ichukunyiswe yiloo nto u-Eisenhower ayibiza ngokuba yindawo yemizi-mveliso yasemkhosini.
Abantu baseMelika ezilungileyo ukunciphisa inkcitho emkhosini.
Nkqu umgqatswa Trump wathi iimfazwe ukususela ngo-2001 ukuba azinamveliso, ingxelo ebonakala ngathi ayizange imlimaze ngomhla wonyulo.
NgoDisemba 2014 Poll Galp Iintlanga ze-65 zifumene iUnited States ibe kude kwaye kude nelizwe libhekwa njengengozi enkulu yokuthula emhlabeni, kwaye Pew poll ngo-2017 bafumene uninzi lwamazwe amaninzi abuzwayo ajonga i-United States njengesoyikiso. IUnited States enembopheleleko yokubonelela abanye ngamanzi okusela acocekileyo, izikolo, amayeza, neepaneli zelanga iya kukhuseleka ngakumbi ize ijamelane nobutshaba obuncinane kakhulu ehlabathini lonke; eso siphumo siya kubiza iqhezu loko kutyala imali ekwenzeni iUnited States ingathandwa kwaye ingathandwa.
Abezoqoqosho kwiYunivesithi yaseMassachusetts eAmherst ziweyo ukuba inkcitho yasemkhosini yimfucuza yezoqoqosho kunenkqubo yemisebenzi.
Siyakuncoma kwiipolisi zakho zasekhaya. Siyaqonda ukuba iiprimaries zomongameli zaqhathwa ngokuchasene nawe, kwaye asifuni kuqhubela phambili umbono ongenasiseko wokuba woyisiwe ngokufanelekileyo. Sinikela amacebiso ethu ngomoya wobuhlobo. Abanye bethu basebenze bexhasa iphulo lakho lobumongameli. Abanye bethu bebeza kusebenza, kwaye basebenze nzima, ukutyunjwa kwakho ukuba ubungumgqatswa woxolo.
