Isibindi yintengo ebomi obuchaphazela ukunika uxolo. "
-Amelia Earhart
Ukupeyinta umzobo kuthatha ixesha, ukungxama ziimpazamo zenkundla. Umgaqo wam kukuba ube nothando kodwa ube nomonde, ushiye ixesha lokukhanyisa njengoko ndizabalazela ukufumana ukukhanya okuthe ngqo kwiliso, ukugoba imilebe kwangoko, kwaye ukumisa ukuqaqamba kwibhulorho yempumlo ukuze ilingane nentaba yayo.
UDaniel Hale, owakhe umfanekiso Oko bendipeyinta, ngaba ngumlobi wempi oMkhosi woMoya oziva enyanzelekile sisazela ukuba akhuphe amaxwebhu ahleliweyo abonisa ukuba phantse iipesenti ezingama-90 zamaxhoba okubulawa kwabantu abangadluliyo ngabantu, abantu abamsulwa, babulawa ngoncedo lwakhe. Wayengenakuhlala nayo. UDaniel wayesazi ukuba ukukhulula le nto kuyakwehlisela ingqumbo kurhulumente. Wayeza kubekwa ityala phantsi komthetho we-Espionage Act, ngokungathi wayeyimpimpi. Jongana neminyaka entolongweni kwaye ngoku ugwetywe iinyanga ezingama-45 ngokuthetha inyani. Uthe into ayoyikayo ngaphezulu kwejele yayisisilingo sokungababuzi aba bantu babuleweyo. Umsebenzi wakhe wasemkhosini yayikukuthula. Kodwa ngumntu onjani ongathandabuziyo ngezenzo zakhe? Ngaba ubomi bakhe buxabiseke ngaphezu kokubulawa kwabantu? Uye wathi, "Impendulo ifikile kum, ethi ukumisa umjikelo wobundlobongela, kufuneka ndincame ubomi bam hayi obomnye umntu."
Xa ndandisengumntwana, ndandingacingi nto ngokunyathela iimbovane, iikholamu ezinde zeembovane ezincinci ezimdaka nezimnyama, ziphinda ziphinde zifune ukutya, ezinye zibuya, ziphethe iimvuthuluka okanye imithana yezinye izinambuzane — umlenze wentethe, iphiko lempukane. Andizange ndibabeke njengezidalwa eziphilayo, ndingaziqondi njengeemveliso ezingummangaliso zendalo kunye nombutho entsonkothileyo kwezentlalo, ndingazi ukuba banelungelo lobomi babo njengam.
Kwaye abawakhathalelanga amandla am amakhulu.
Ingqondo yam yayiqhelekile kukuba izinambuzane zazingalunganga, zenzakalisa abantu, zithwala izifo okanye zonakalisa ukutya kwethu okanye zirhorhozela nje, zingena ezindlwini zethu ukuze zisiphazamise ngoburhabaxa bazo, indlela ezazishukuma ngayo ziye kuyo nantoni na emnandi kwaye ishiye ngasemva, watsho umama , izifo ezikhohlakeleyo. Ukutshitshisa inambuzane encinci, ukuba yayingeyonto ilungileyo, ubuncinci obunokwenza umhlaba ubengcono ukuhlala kwabantu. Andizange ndifundiswe ukuba bahlala kwiwebhu enye yobomi ebandakanya mna kunye nentlalontle yam. Andifundiswanga ukumangaliswa bubukho babo. Andizange ndiyifakele loo nto ndedwa. Andizange ndifundiswe ukubabulisa njengobhuti nodade. Impindezelo kwizinambuzane yayinokuziphatha, umbulelo kubo ungenangqondo.
Kutheni le nto ndicinga noku? Ngenye imini ndibukele ingxelo ka-Sonia Kennebeck INdiza yeSizwe (2016) malunga neempempe ezintathu zempempe yomqhubi wedrone, kubandakanya noDaniel Hale. Intlungu yabo ngenxa yesazela kwinto ababeyenza yayisenziwa ngokwenyani kudliwanondlebe nabantu base-Afghans ababengamaxhoba ohlaselo lweedrone zaseMelika, abanye abasindileyo, ezinye izalamane zababuleweyo, abanye baba ngamaxhoba ngokwabo. Imiboniso bhanyabhanya yento eyabonwa ziidrones ngaphambi kokumilisela imijukujelwa yabo ezimotweni nasezilorini nasezibhasini nasezindlwini nakwindibano kwakothusa. Ayicacanga, kodwa i-grainy, smudgy, emnyama nomhlophe, abantu abakhwele okanye abahambahambayo, babonwa bevela phezulu phezulu kwaye babonisa kwangaphambili ukuba babonakala ngathi ziinambuzane ezincinci, hayi umntu konke konke, ngakumbi njengeembovane.
Sonke siyazi ukuba iimfazwe zenziwa lilungelo lethu lokuthomalalisa utshaba lwethu. Uloyiko nomsindo, indelelo kunye nokusasaza kunciphisa intshaba kwisikhundla sokugcwala izinambuzane ezinenjongo yokuluma, ukuhlaba, ukusibulala. Into esingayiboni ngokulula kukuba ekuzimiseleni kwethu ukukhupha izixhobo ezoyikekayo ezingakhethi cala kubo, nathi ngokufanayo sizithobe ngokwabantu. Ngaba abantu abangabantu abagqibeleleyo banokuze bathethelele uhlaselo lwedrone, ukugxotha ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi ukuze kupheliswe umntu omnye orhanelwa ukuba unqwenela ukwenzakalisa amaMelika? Kwaye umntu wam oneminyaka esibhozo wayephula njani ikholamu yeembovane ngenjongo yokuzondla?
Abantu baseMelika bafundiswe ukuba itekhnoloji yeekhamera ihambele phambili kangangokuba umntu ophetheyo angakwazi ukwahlula uncumo kwinkohlakalo, iAK-47 kwi-rahab (isixhobo somculo wesintu), ngokuqinisekileyo yindoda ebhinqileyo, eneminyaka esibhozo ulutsha, unetyala kwi-not. Akunjalo. Abaqhubi abazi ngenene. Kwaye nekhethe labo alabavumeli ukuba bazi. Kwifilimu sibava beqashisela. Abakwishumi elivisayo ngamajoni eentshaba, abantwana, kulungile, ngabantwana, kodwa ngubani okhathaleleyo? Kwaye ngubani, mhlawumbi, uneminyaka elishumi elinambini ubudala? Kungcono ukuphosisa kwicala lomlo. Zonke ziimbovane kwaye, njengoko sithanda ukuthi, ekupheleni kosuku, iimbovane ezingazidibanisi aziyongozi. Ukujika kuphela kwento ebonwa yikhamera yedrone ziimbovane.

Urhulumente wase-US wamangalela uDaniel Hale ngokweba iipropathi zikarhulumente, ulwazi olucwangcisiweyo oluchaza ubungakanani bokufa kwabantu ngokuhlaselwa yi-drone. Urhulumente uthatha ukuba ukuba abantu abakwilizwe elinobutshaba okanye abanokuba nobutshaba besazi ukuba sikuthethelelelela ukubulala ngokubambisa, banokufuna impindezelo, okanye bazive bebophelelekile ekuziphatheni. Urhulumente wethu unokuqhubeka nokuthatha ukuba abantu baseMelika abanengqondo abanokucaphuka ngendlela efanayo kwaye bafune ukuphela kokubulawa kwabantu. Umthetho we-Espionage Act, njengoko usetyenziswa ngokuchasene noDaniel Hale, ayisiyiyo ikhowudi yomthetho wokuziphatha kodwa uzisa ubuxoki phantsi kolawulo lomthetho. Kananjalo oku kukhuseleko lwase-US ngaphandle kokuba abantu abaninzi bazi ukuba wenza izinto ezimbi zokuziphatha kakubi kwenza ukuba umntu angakhuseleki kangako. UDaniel Hale wafungiswa ukuba agcine imfihlo yokwenyani ye-drone yase-US iyimfihlo.
Umgaqo-nkqubo wokugcina imfihlo luhlobo oluthile lwe-narcissism. Sifuna ngamandla ukuba sizihloniphe kwaye abanye abantu basihloniphe hayi ngenxa yento esiyiyo kodwa ngenxa yabantu esizenza ngathi-sibalasele, sithanda inkululeko, siwola ngentando yesininzi, siwuthobela umthetho, abantu abanobubele abahlala kwindlu yenduli esendulini abathi baphathe intonga enkulu ukulungelwa kwabo bonke.
Ke, isizathu sokuba sigcine ulwaphulo-mthetho lwethu ngokuchasene noluntu luyimfihlo asikokuzikhusela kumthetho wamanye amazwe-i-US iyazithethelela kulawulo lomthetho wamanye amazwe. Kukuzikhusela kuhlaselo lwentsomi yethu yokulunga okungapheliyo. Urhulumente wethu wenza iintlobo ngeentlobo ze-narcissism ezijijwe kukugxeka kunye nentliziyo ebandayo esekwe kwimbono yokuba ukuba abantu abayiboni into oyenzayo, bayakukunika oko ukutshoyo inzuzo yokuthandabuza. Ukuba abantu banokubekwa kwimeko yokuba bacinge ukuba silungile, kufuneka sibe njalo.

Ngelixa ndipeyintayo, bendizama ukuqonda ukufana phakathi kukaDaniel Hale noDarnella Frazier, ibhinqa eliselula elinobukho bengqondo lokuthatha ividiyo kaDerek Chauvin ebulala uGeorge Floyd. UChavin wayengumkhuseli kunye nokunyanzeliswa kwamandla karhulumente. Iminyaka yobundlobongela bobuhlanga ngala magunya benziwe bengohlwaywa kuba ilizwe ngokwalo lakhiwe ngobuhlanga. Ukubulala abantu bebala kwakungelolwaphulo-mthetho lokwenyani. Umjukujelwa kwi-drone, usenza into eyenziwa ngurhulumente kwilizwe liphela, ubulala abahlali abanjengoGeorge Floyd ngaphandle kwesiphumo. Kude kube itekhnoloji yenze ukuba abantu bakwazi ukurekhoda urhulumente esenza ubugebenga bobuhlanga ngaphakathi e-US, olo lwaphulo-mthetho lwaye lwahlelwa ngokufanelekileyo kuba iinkundla zazithanda ubungqina bobuxoki bamapolisa. Ke, uDaniel Hale uzama ukufana noDarnella Frazier, ingqina lokubulala, kodwa imigaqo yokufihla iyamnqanda ukuba abe lingqina. Ungathini ukuba, emva kokubulawa kukaGeorge Floyd, amapolisa amane afunge onke amangqina ngokufihla, esithi oku kukhuselwe lishishini lamapolisa? Ungathini ukuba amapolisa ebexhwithe ikhamera kaDarnella kwaye ayityumze okanye ayicime ividiyo okanye ambamba ngokuhlola ishishini lamapolisa? Emva koko, amapolisa ayingqina elisisiseko elithembekileyo. Kwimeko kaHale, umongameli u-Obama uya kumabonwakude kwaye ubhengeza ngokungqongqo ukuba i-US ikulumkele kakhulu ukubulala abagrogrisi abajolise kubo kuphela ngeedrones. Ngaphandle kukaDarnella uDaniel Frazier Hale obo buxoki buba yinyaniso.
Umbuzo ophakama kukuba kutheni abantu besabela ngokungenabulungisa ekubulaweni kukaGeorge Floyd, kodwa hayi kubungqina obubonakalayo beedrones zaseMelika zibulala amadoda, abafazi nabantwana abangenatyala ngendlela enokuthi ichazwe ngokungenalusini nangakumbi nangakumbi. ukhohlakele. Ngaba ubomi bama-Arab abunanjongo? Okanye ngaba lukhona olunye uhlobo lwe-narcissism olusebenza apha-uGeorge Floyd wayengowesizwe sethu, abantu base-Afghani bengengabo. Kwangokunjalo, nangona uninzi lwabantu luyayamkela iMfazwe yaseVietnam yayili-US state crime ishishini, sikhumbula ama-58,000 aseMelika abulawa eVietnam, kodwa angahoyi i-3 ukuya kwezi-4 ezigidi zaseVietnam, eLaos naseCambodians.

Ndifumene esi sicatshulwa sivela ku-Amelia Earhart ngethuba kupeyintwa uDaniel Hale: "Isibindi lixabiso elifunekayo ebomini ukuze unike uxolo." Ingcinga yam yokuqala yayikukuba wayethetha ngokwenza uxolo ngaphandle kwakho-uxolo phakathi kwabantu, uluntu, phakathi kwezizwe. Kodwa mhlawumbi uxolo oluyimfuneko ngokulinganayo luxolo olwenziwe nesiqu sakho ngokuba nenkalipho yokulungelelanisa isenzo sakho nesazela kunye neenjongo zakho.
Ukwenza oko kunokuba yenye yeenjongo ezinzima kwaye zibaluleke kakhulu kubomi obufanelekileyo. Ubomi obufuna ukuzilungelelanisa ngaloo ndlela kufuneka bume ngokuchaseneyo namandla afuna ukuwulawula, uwuqhekeze wamkele ukuba lilungu lomhlambi othuleyo, umhlambi okhuselweyo kubundlobongela bemihla ngemihla obusetyenziswa ngamandla ukuzigcina kunye nenzuzo . Obo bomi buthatha oko sinokuthi ngumthwalo olungileyo. Lo mthwalo wamkela iziphumo ezibi zokunyanzelisa isazela. Lo mthwalo kukuphumelela kwethu, isidima sethu sokugqibela kwaye awunakuthathwa kuthi nokuba umcinezeli wethu unamandla kangakanani. Leyo yinxalenye egqibeleleyo, isibindi esivuthayo esinika ukhetho lokuziphatha. Okona kulungileyo kukukhanya okukhanyayo kunye nenyaniso. UDaniel Hale woyika isilingo sokungabuzi umgaqo-nkqubo wedrone. Ubunzima yayingumthwalo ochaseneyo naye, idini lokuzimela kwakhe kunye nesidima. Amandla acinga ukuba uloyiko lwakho olukhulu kukubeka kwinceba yalo. (Kuyahlekisa, elo gama 'inceba;' amandla ahlala engamandla ngokuzimisela kwawo ukungabi nanceba.) UDaniel Hale woyika ukungazahluli ekuziphatheni okubi okukhohlakeleyo komgaqo-nkqubo we-drone, ngaphezulu kokuthunyelwa kwakhe entolongweni. Ngokwenza ukuba semngciphekweni kumandla, uyoyisa. Lowo mthwalo ulungile.
Andikho kwishishini lokupenda abangcwele. Ndiyakuthanda ukusilela kwethu sonke, indlela ekufuneka sizabalaze ngayo-nathi, kunye nenkcubeko yethu-ngenxa yempumelelo yethu yokuziphatha. Kodwa xa umntu esenza njengoDaniel Hale, enyanzelisa isazela sakhe ngokuchasene nentando yamandla, usikelelwe ngomlinganiselo othile wobunyulu. Intsikelelo enjalo ingasiphakamisa sonke ukuba sikulungele ukumxhasa, simncede athwale umthwalo wakhe olungileyo. Ngokudibanisa ngokudibeneyo loo mthwalo ukwathemba ledemokhrasi. UMarcus Raskin, umseki we-Institute of Policy Studies, wayibeka ngolu hlobo: “Idemokhrasi nomgaqo wayo wokusebenza, umthetho, ufuna umhlaba onokuma kuwo. Loo mhlaba uyinyaniso. Xa urhulumente exoka, okanye emile njengombuso wethu wezokhuseleko welizwe ukukhuthaza ubuxoki nokuzikhohlisa, imibutho yethu esemthethweni yophule ukholo ngokubaluleka kwangaphambili kurhulumente womgaqo-siseko kwidemokhrasi. ”
UDaniel Hale wayengenakhaya xa ejoyina uMkhosi woMoya. Umfana othambileyo ovela kusapho olungasebenzi kakuhle. Umkhosi wamnika uzinzo, uluntu kunye nomsebenzi. Ikwafuna ukuba athathe inxaxheba kwezenzo zenkohlakalo. Nemfihlo. Wanyanzelisa ukuba azibulale ngokuziphatha. Isicatshulwa esivela kuye endisifake kumzobo wakhe sithi:
“Ngeemfazwe zedrone, ngamanye amaxesha abantu abalithoba kwabalishumi ababuleweyo abamsulwa. Kufuneka ubulale inxenye yesazela sakho ukwenza umsebenzi wakho… Kodwa yintoni ebendinokuyenza ukumelana neenkohlakalo ezingenakuphikwa endizenzileyo? Eyona nto ndiyoyikayo… yayisisilingo sokungayibuzi. Ndiye ndanxibelelana nentatheli yophando… ndamxelela ukuba ndinento abantu baseMelika ekufuneka bayazi. ”
