Ngokusemthethweni, ewe, intaka yesizwe yase-United States yileyo isiqingatha-soxolo-uphawu oluthi abalandeli bezemidlalo basePhiladelphia bathanda ukubambelela kumaqela achaseneyo. Kodwa ngokungekho mthethweni, ifilimu INdiza yeSizwe unelungelo: intaka yesizwe yinqwelomoya ebulalayo.
Ekugqibeleni, ekugqibeleni, ekugqibeleni, umntu wandivumela ukuba ndibone le movie. Kwaye ekugqibeleni umntu wenza le movie. Kubekho iidrone ezininzi bhanya ku fanele kubona, uninzi lwayo luyintsomi idrama, kwaye enye kakhulu efanele ukuphetshwa (Iliso kwiZulwini). Kodwa INdiza yeSizwe yinyaniso ekrwada, ayifani kwaphela nento onokuthi uyicinge kwiingxelo zeendaba zeendaba eziya kuba kwihlabathi elinomlingo apho amajelo eendaba anikel’ ingqalelo kubomi bomntu.
Isiqingatha sokuqala INdiza yeSizwe ngamabali amathathu abathathi-nxaxheba kwinkqubo yokubulawa kwedrone yomkhosi wase-US, njengoko ebaliswa ngabo. Kwaye emva koko, njengokuba uqala ukucinga kuya kufuneka ubhale uphononongo lwakudala oluqhelekileyo oluncoma indlela amabali amaxhoba phakathi kwabahlaseli abaxelwe ngayo kodwa ubuze ngomsindo ukuba ngaba nawaphi na amaxhoba eyona mijukujelwa yokwenyani anayo. amabali, INdiza yeSizwe ukwandisa ukubandakanya kanye oko kudla ngokungekho, kunye nokudibanisa amabali amabini ngendlela enamandla.
UHeather Linebaugh wayefuna ukukhusela abantu, ukuzuza ihlabathi, ukuhamba, ukubona ihlabathi, kunye nokusebenzisa itekhnoloji epholileyo. Kuyabonakala ukuba uluntu lwethu aluzange lumchazele kwangethuba ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuya emkhosini. Ngoku uziva enetyala, uxhalabile, wenzakala ngokuziphatha, iPTSD, ukungalali kakuhle, ukuphelelwa lithemba, kunye nengqondo yoxanduva lokuthetha egameni labahlobo, amanye amagqala, azibuleleyo okanye anxila kakhulu ukuba azithethelele. U-Linebaugh uncede ukubulala abantu ngemijukujelwa evela kwiidrones, kwaye wababukela besifa, kwaye achonge amalungu omzimba okanye abukele abo babathandayo beqokelela amalungu omzimba.
Ngelixa wayesekuMkhosi woMoya, u-Linebaugh wayekuluhlu lokubukela ukuzibulala kwaye ugqirha wengqondo wayecebisa ukuba amse kuhlobo olwahlukileyo lomsebenzi, kodwa uMkhosi woMoya wala. Uneziqendu. Ubona izinto. Uyaziva izinto. Kodwa akavumelekanga ukuba axoxe ngomsebenzi wakhe nabahlobo bakhe okanye nogqirha ongenalo “isiqinisekiso sokhuseleko” sifanelekileyo.
Samthoba uDaniel nangaphezu kukaHeather. Uthi eneneni wayeyichasile impinda kodwa wayengenakhaya kwaye ephelelwe lithemba, ngoko ke wangena emkhosini. Ngesasimnike indlu ngemali engaphantsi kunaleyo sasimhlawule ngayo ukuba ancedise ekubulaleni abantu eFort Meade.
U-Lisa Ling wasebenza kwi-database ezaliswe yi-drone surveillance eyaqulunqa ulwazi malunga ne-121,000 "iithagethi" kwiminyaka emibini. Phindaphinda loo nto ngeshumi elinesibini leminyaka. Nge-90% yamaxhoba engekho phakathi kwezinto ekujoliswe kuzo, yongeza ukuba bangaphi abantu abaya kufa ekujoliswe kuyo kulo lonke uluhlu. Oko kunokuba ngaphezulu kwe-7 yezigidi. Kodwa ayingomanani athe atyhefa imiphefumlo yala magqala mathathu; ngabantwana, noonina, nabanakwabo, noomalume, balele phantsi emhlabeni.
U-Ling uhamba e-Afghanistan ukuze abone indawo ephantsi kunye nokudibana namaxhoba e-drone. Udibana nenkwenkwana eyaphulukana nomlenze wayo kunye nomntakwabo oneminyaka emi-4 ubudala kunye nodade wabo kunye noyise. NgoFebruwari 2, 2010, "abaqhubi beenqwelomoya" baseCreech Air Base babulala amalungu angama-23 amsulwa osapho olunye.
Abenzi befilimu banamazwi afunda umbhalo obhaliweyo wento eyenziwa ngabaqhubi be-drone omnye komnye ngaphambi, ngexesha, nangemva kokuthumela imijukujelwa eyenze umonakalo. Oku kubi kunoko Ukubulala. Abantu abamsebenzi wabo ikukuchonga abantwana kunye nabanye abangafanelanga ukubulawa bachonge abantwana kwiqela labantu ekujoliswe kubo. “Abaqhubi beenqwelomoya” eCreech bazimisele ukulandula olu lwazi baze babulale abantu abaninzi kangangoko banako. Inkanuko yabo yegazi iqhuba inkqubo yesigqibo. Kuphela kusemva kokuba bebulele abantu abangama-23 apho babona abantwana phakathi kwabasindileyo, kunye nokungabikho kwemipu.
Sibona izidumbu ziziswe ekhaya ukuze zingcwatywe. Abo benzakeleyo bachaza ukubandezeleka kwabo, emzimbeni nasengqondweni. Sibona abantu befakelwa imilenze eyenziweyo. Siva abantu base-Afghan bechaza indlela ababona ngayo iidrones. Bacinga, njengoko abantu abaninzi baseMelika banokucinga, kwaye njengababukeli Iliso kwiZulwini unokucinga, ukuba abaqhubi bedrone banombono ocacileyo, onesisombululo esiphezulu sayo yonke into. Ngapha koko, banombono wamabhulubhu amancinci afipheleyo kwiscreen sekhompyuter esikhangeleka ngathi sadalwa ngeminyaka yoo-1980.
U-Linebaugh uthi akukho ndlela yokwahlula amabhulubhu amancinci “asekuhlaleni” kwiiblobhu ezincinci “ezinomkhosi”. Xa uDaniel esiva uMongameli Obama esithi kusoloko kukho isiqinisekiso sokuba akukho mntu uya kubulawa, uDaniel uchaza ukuba olo lwazi alunakwenzeka. U-Linebaugh uthi wayehlala esecaleni kwencoko exelela "abaqhubi beenqwelomoya" eCreech ukuba bangabulali abantu abamsulwa, kodwa bahlala befuna imvume yokubulala.
UJesselyn Radack, igqwetha labahlebi, uthi kwifilimu ukuba i-FBI ixelele abakhweli ababini ukuba iqela labanqolobi libabeke kuluhlu lokubulala. Uye wathi i-FBI inxibelelane nosapho lukaLinebaugh kwaye yamlumkisa ukuba "abanqolobi" bebekhangela igama lakhe kwi-Intanethi, becebisa ukuba alungise le ngxaki ngokuvala umlomo. (Wabhala i i-op-ed kwi Guardian).
I-FBI ikwagqogqa indlu kaDaniel, ifika inamagosa angama-30 ukuya kwangama-50, iibheji, imipu, iikhamera kunye nezigunyaziso zokugqogqa. Bamhlutha amaphepha, izinto zombane kunye nefowuni. Bamxelela ukuba uphantsi kophando malunga nezityholo ezinokubakho phantsi kwe-Espionage Act. Lo ngumthetho wexesha leMfazwe yokuQala yeHlabathi wokujolisa kwiintshaba zamazwe angaphandle athe uMongameli u-Obama enze inkqubo yesiqhelo yokuwusebenzisa ukujolisa kubakhweli basekhaya. Ngelixa u-Obama etshutshise abantu abaninzi phantsi kwalo mthetho kunabo bonke abongameli bangaphambili bedityanisiwe, mhlawumbi asinandlela yokwazi ukuba bangaphi abantu abaye basongelwa ngokucacileyo ukuba kunokwenzeka.
Nangona sifanele sicele uxolo, sibathuthuzele, kwaye sibancede aba bantu baselula kunokuba sibathintele ilungelo lokuthetha nabani na kwaye sibagrogrise ngokuthothoza amashumi eminyaka entolongweni, uLisa Ling wakwazi ukufumana ububele. Amaxhoba ogwayimbo lwedrone e-Afghanistan amxelela ukuba amxolele. Njengoko ifilimu iphela, uceba olunye uhambo oluya e-Afghanistan.
