nguRobert Koehler, Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo
Mhlawumbi libinzana elithi - "umthetheli oyintloko" - eyona nto ibamba ngokugqithiseleyo ububhanxa obugqithileyo kunye namasikizi angalungiswanga kwixesha lonyulo luka-2016 kunye neshishini njengesiqhelo eliya kulandela.
Andifuni ukukhetha nabani na umphathi oyintloko: hayi i-xenophobic misogynist kunye ne-egomaniac, hayi uHenry Kissinger acolyte kunye ne-Libya hawk. Umngxuma omkhulu kolu lawulo lwentando yesininzi ayingobagqatswa; lilitye, inkolelo esisiseko yokuba ihlabathi liphela lutshaba lwethu olunokubakho, ukuba imfazwe nomntu isoloko ingenakuthintelwa kwaye ngumkhosi onamandla kuphela oya kusigcina sikhuselekile.
Ngeendlela ezisisigidi, siyigqithile le ngcamango, okanye sityhalelwe ngaphaya kwayo kukwazi ukunxulumana kwabantu behlabathi kunye nomngcipheko weplanethi ekwabelwana ngawo wokuwohloka kwendalo. Ngoko nanini na xa ndisiva umntu kumajelo eendaba ezisa "umthetheli oyintloko" kwingxoxo - rhoqo kwaye ngaphandle kombuzo - into endiyivayo ngamakhwenkwe adlala imfazwe. Ewe, silwa imfazwe ngendlela yokwenyani ngokunjalo, kodwa xa uluntu lumenyiwe ukuba luthathe inxaxheba kwinkqubo ngokukhetha umphathi walo oyintloko, oku kukwenza ngathi imfazwe yeyona surreal yayo: lonke uzuko nobukhulu kunye nokubethelwa kwe-ISIS eMosul.
"Kuthekani ngokhuseleko lwethu apha?" UBrian Williams wabuza uGen. Barry McCaffrey kwi-MSNBC ngobunye ubusuku, njengoko babexoxa ngobubi bobunqolobi kunye nesidingo sokubhobhoza abantu ababi ukuba bangabikho. Ndakruquka. Banokuqhubeka bethengisa oku kude kube nini?
Ukhuseleko lwethu lukude, lusengozini enkulu yokuba sinomkhosi kwaphela kunalo naluphi na utshaba ekutyholwa ukuba umkhosi uyalwa, kodwa, eneneni, ludala njengoko lukhupha umonakalo ongapheliyo wobambiso, aka, abafileyo kunye nabemi abalimeleyo.
Eyona nyaniso ibalulekileyo ngemfazwe yile: Iintshaba zisoloko zikwicala elinye. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba ngubani na “ophumeleleyo,” okubalulekileyo kukuba imfazwe ngokwayo iyaqhubeka. Buza nje kumajoni-amashishini.
Okuphela komphathi oyintloko endifuna ukumvotela nguye oya kudlulisela eso sihloko kubabhali-mbali kwaye akhale ngelithi imfazwe ngumdlalo ophelelwe lixesha kwaye okhohlakeleyo, ohlonitshwayo kwaye ogcinwe iminyaka engamawaka amahlanu ngoku njengeyona nto ingcwele yemisebenzi a ( male) umntu angabandakanyeka. Sifuna umphathi oyintloko okwaziyo ukusikhokela ngaphaya kweminyaka yobukumkani kunye nemidlalo eyoyikisayo yoloyiso ebulala lo mhlaba.
"Kuthekani ngokhuseleko lwethu apha?"
Xa uBrian Williams ephosa lo mbuzo eluntwini lwaseMelika, ndacinga, phakathi kwezinye izinto, malunga nokuphanziswa kunye nokungcoliswa komkhosi wase-US owenziwe kwintlango yethu nakumanzi onxweme kule minyaka ingamashumi asixhenxe idlulileyo ngokuvavanya izixhobo - zombini inyukliya kunye nesiqhelo - kwaye. ukudlala, Thixo olungileyo, imidlalo yemfazwe; kwaye ke, kungekudala okanye kamva, ngokulahla i-toxins yayo ephelelwe lixesha, ngokuqhelekileyo ixhalabile ngokhuseleko lokusingqongileyo kwindawo engqongileyo, nokuba ingaphakathi. Irakh or Louisiana. Ngenxa yokuba umkhosi uyiloo nto uyiyo, akukho migaqo ye-EPA okanye ucoceko ngokwalo luhlala lusebenza.
Ngokomzekelo, njengoko Dahr Jamail Kutshanje ubhale kwi-Truthout: "Kangangamashumi eminyaka, uMkhosi waManzi wase-US, ngokwawo, ubuqhuba umlo wemfazwe emanzini ase-US usebenzisa iibhombu, imijukujelwa, ii-sonobuoys (i-sonar buoys), iziqhushumbisi eziphezulu, iimbumbulu kunye nezinye izinto ezinemichiza eyityhefu - kuquka ilothe kunye nemercury - eziyingozi ebantwini nakwizilwanyana zasendle. "
Kutheni kufuneka sikhathazeke nge-ISIS xa, njengoko i-Jamail ibika, "iibhetri ezivela kwi-sonobuoys efileyo ziya kukhupha i-lithium emanzini iminyaka eyi-55"?
Kwaye ke kukho iuranium ephelelweyo, isinyithi esinzima esinetyhefu ethandwa ngumkhosi wase-US; Imijukujelwa ye-DU kunye noonokrwece bakrazula intsimbi ngokungathi yibhotolo. Bakwasasaza ungcoliseko lwemitha kwiPlanethi yoMhlaba. Kwaye bancedisa ukutyhefa amanzi kunxweme lwaseWashington-Oregon, apho uMkhosi waManzi udlala imidlalo yawo, njengokuba betyhefa amanzi ajikelezileyo. Vieques, isiqithi esiyiparadesi esikunxweme lwasePuerto Rico, esathi, njengoko ndabhala kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, “salawulwa ngumkhosi waseUnited States njengendawo yokulahla kuyo uvavanyo lwezixhobo” kangangeminyaka engama-62. Umkhosi wamanzi ekugqibeleni wemka, kodwa ushiye ngasemva umhlaba ongcolisekileyo kunye namanzi kunye namawaka amaninzi amaqokobhe aphilayo angakwazanga ukuqhushumba, kunye nelifa leengxaki zempilo ezinzulu kubahlali besiqithi abayi-10,000.
"Ngokwenene ngabona bangcolisi bukhulu eMhlabeni," isazi ngetyhefu yendalo esingqongileyo uMozhgan Savabieasfahani uxelele iTruthout, ethetha ngomkhosi wase-US, "njengoko bevelisa iikhemikhali ezinetyhefu ngakumbi kunabathathu abaphezulu baseMelika abavelisi bemichiza bedityanisiwe. Ngokwembali, i-ecosystem enkulu yehlabathi kunye nemithombo ebalulekileyo yokutya yabantu iye yangcoliswa ngumkhosi wase-US. "
Kuthetha ukuthini ukuvotela umphathi olandelayo oyintloko womngcolisi omkhulu emhlabeni?
Ndiyavuma ukuba andazi - ubuncinci hayi kumxholo wolunyulo lungekho ngqiqweni noluxoxwayo, malunga nawo wonke umbuzo obalulekileyo okanye umba otyhalelwe elunxwemeni. Sigqithisa njani ubuzwe kunye nomdlalo wemfazwe - inyaniso yemfazwe engapheliyo - kwaye sibandakanyeke ekukhuseleni ukhuseleko lweplanethi yonke? Sivuma njani ukuba esi sijikelezi-langa ayisiyiyo nje “ingxubevange yezinto ezingafunekiyo, i-melee engacwangciswanga yamasuntswana e-subatomic” ukuba siyisebenzise, njengokoUCharles Eisestein uyabhala, kodwa liqumrhu eliphilayo esiyinxalenye yalo, ngokubalulekileyo? Sifunda njani ukuthanda esi sijikelezi-langa kunye nomnye?
Nawuphi na "umphathi oyintloko" onokuthi abuze imibuzo encinci kunale ebandakanyeka kumdlalo wabantwana kunye nemipu yokwenene.
