Umhlaba ungase ushaqeke lapho ufunda ukuthi uhulumeni wase-United States uneSikhungo Sokuthula; U-Orwell wayengeke abe njalo.
Ukuvota kwe-Gallup uthola ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yomhlaba ikholelwa ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US uwusongo olukhulu lokuthula emhlabeni. Kuyamangaza abaningi ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US ugcina futhi uxhasa ngemali into ebizwa nge-US Institute of Peace (USIP) esebenza esakhiweni esisha esicwebezelayo eduze kweSikhumbuzo iLincoln eWashington, DC, isakhiwo esinophahla olugobile ngokusobala obekuhloswe ngalo ukuthi ifane nejuba kodwa ngandlela thize ifane ne-brassiere enkulu.
UGeorge Orwell, ukube waphila ukuze abone i-USIP, kungenzeka ukuthi akazange amangale kunabaningi. Eqinisweni, i-USIP yasungulwa ngumthetho osayinwe nguMongameli uRonald Reagan ngonyaka we-1984, unyaka u-Orwell ayeqambe ngawo inoveli yakhe ye-dystopian emuva ku-1948, lapho uMnyango Wezempi wase-US usanda kuqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi uMnyango Wezokuvikela, kanye ne-Dystopian novel. umkhankaso wokulwa nempi wawumenyezelwe ngokucacile kubabukeli abakhuluma kahle nge-doublespeak. "I-Orwellian US Institute for Peace inabasebenzi futhi iqondiswa abanye babasekeli bethu abazinikele kakhulu empini nokuhlukumezeka, abaningi babo abasemnyango phakathi kukahulumeni nosonkontileka bezempi," kusho u-Alice Slater. USlater unguMqondisi waseNew York weNuclear Age Peace Foundation, futhi ukhonza eKomidini Lokuxhumanisa le World Beyond War.
“Esikhundleni sokusekela imizamo yokuxoxisana nokuxazulula izingxabano ngokuthula,” uyaqhubeka, “i-Peace Institute ebizwa ngegama elibi yeluleka iCongress kanye nabezindaba ngokuthi [i-United States] ingaqhumisa kanjani amabhomu futhi ihlomise amazwe emhlabeni jikelele. Sidinga ukufaka abenzi bokuthula esikhundleni sabenzi bokuthula futhi sibe neSikhungo esisiza ngempela imbangela yokuthula ekhulwini lama-21 lapho impi ingenakusebenza ngokusobala.
"... I-Institute yakhelwe ukuthuthukisa umbuso wase-US nokudala umhlaba ongavumelani lapho i-United States ibusa kwezomnotho, kwezempi nakwezombusazwe."
Ngenkathi i-Institute of Peace idalwe ngokuphendula ingcindezi evela enhlanganweni yokuthula, abanye abameli bokuthula, ekugcineni, baphikisa ukudalwa kwayo, njengoba bebona umbhalo odongeni. Laba bahlanganisa uNoam Chomsky, njengoFrancis Boyle nabanye engibahlonipha kakhulu, bangitshele ukuthi babheka noma yimiphi imizamo yokulungisa i-USIP njengento engenathemba. Ngaleso sikhathi, izishoshovu eziningi zokuthula, ngisho nase-United States, azinalwazi lokuthi i-USIP ikhona, njengoba ingenakho ukusebenzelana nenhlangano yokuthula. Inhlangano eminyakeni yamuva nje yokwakha uMnyango Wokuthula inikeza, ngokwazi kwami, abukho ubufakazi bokuthi isiphetho salo Mnyango ngeke sifane neseSikhungo.
Kodwa nokho ngikholelwa ukuthi ukubona ngeso lengqondo uhulumeni oguquliwe kakhulu lapho uMnyango noma i-Institute of Peace ingasebenzela ukuthula kubalulekile. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi kunethemba lokuguqula i-USIP kuze kube yilapho yenza okuhle kakhulu kunokulimaza. U-Kevin Zeese, umqondisi we-Popular Resistance, ungitshela ukuthi “njenge-National Endowment for Democracy, i-US Agency for International Development, nezinye izinhlaka zase-US, i-Institute yakhelwe ukuthuthukisa umbuso wase-US futhi yakhe umhlaba ongavumelani lapho i-United States. libusa kwezomnotho, kwezempi nakwezepolitiki. Ngenkathi abantu base-US bezama ukuguqula le nqubomgomo yezangaphandle, ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke kufanele bathathe izinyathelo zokuvimbela lezi zinhlaka ukuthi zisebenze ngaphakathi kwemingcele yabo, njengoba bezokwenza konke okusemandleni ukubhebhethekisa ukungezwani nokudala izinguquko zombuso ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ohulumeni babambisana ngokugcwele i-United States kanye nezinkampani zayo ezihweba kwamanye amazwe.”
Amazwi kaZeese ayiqiniso, kodwa nokho i-USIP yenza umsebenzi othile ohloselwe ukuthula, okuhlanganisa ukusingathwa kwezikhulumi nokukhiqiza izincwadi ezihloselwe ukuthula, ukuthumela abalamuli abanekhono ezindaweni ezingqubuzanayo, ukwenza izibonelelo zocwaningo, ukubamba imiqhudelwano yezindatshana, nokwenza ukuqeqeshwa kokuxazulula izingxabano noma nini lapho benza khona. hhayi ukungqubuzana ngokweqile nemigomo ye-imperialism yase-US. Iqhinga liwukuthi ungawandisa kanjani umsebenzi omuhle owenziwa yi-USIP ngenkathi udalula futhi uphikisana nokubi.
Ukuze kufezeke lokho, iqembu labashisekeli bokuthula abavelele liye lalungisa wethula isicelo ukuthi ihlela ukuletha ku-USIP ngasekupheleni kukaSepthemba. Njengoba isicelo sikwenza kucace, ngenkathi i-USIP ithi kwenqatshelwe ukuphikisa izimpi zase-US noma ukunxenxa ukulwa nazo noma ukukhuthaza ezinye izindlela ezinokuthula ezicatshangelwa izenzo zezempi, ukufundwa ngokucophelela komthetho we-1984 owadala i-USIP kuveza ukuthi lokhu akunjalo. . Eqinisweni, i-USIP ivame ukunxenxa wonke uhulumeni wase-US kanye nomphakathi wase-US ukuthi uvune izimpi, okuhlanganisa nokuketulwa kukahulumeni waseSyria - futhi ngezikhathi ezithile ngokumelene nezimpi, njengasendabeni yokusekelwa kwe-USIP kwesivumelwano senuzi ne-Iran.
"Isivumelwano ne-Iran sinikeza ithuba elihle kakhulu le-USIP ukukhuthaza impumelelo yezingxoxo kanye nokuxoxisana ukuze kuzuzwe ukuthula nokuqonda kwamazwe ngamazwe," kusho u-Elizabeth Murray, owasebenza njengePhini Lesikhulu Sikazwelonke Sezobunhloli e-Near East eMkhandlwini Wezobunhloli Kazwelonke ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlalaphansi ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi. umsebenzi weminyaka engu-27 kuhulumeni wase-US. Uyachaza, “Isikhungo Sokuthula Sase-United States singahola indlela ekuxazululeni izinkinga eziyingozi zamazwe ngamazwe ngokulwa nezindaba zezinkampani ezithinta i-Iran, iRussia, i-Ukraine, neSyria, nangokukhuthaza ezinye izindlela ezinokuthula esikhundleni ‘sezixazululo’ zezempi ezizuzisa abambalwa kodwa. imboni yebhizinisi-yezempi. Umhlaba ugcwele izimpi ezingapheli, izikhukhula zababaleki kanye nomakadebona bezempi abahlukunyezwe yi-PTSD. I-USIP inganqamula lo mjikelezo omubi ngokusebenzela ukuthula ngenkuthalo.”
Ngakho kungaba, okungenani ngokomthetho futhi ngokunengqondo futhi theory. Nokho bambalwa abakholelwa ukuthi kuyoba njalo. Ukuvimbela i-USIP ekudluliseleni imodeli yokuxoxisana esikhundleni sempi emazweni amaningi ngaphandle kwe-Iran, ngokuyinhloko, ukuthambekela kwalabo bantu abakha i-USIP, kuhlanganise nelungu lebhodi le-USIP kanye nosihlalo uStephen Hadley, okhuthaza ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eSyria kanye nezempi. I-Ukraine, ngenkathi ikhuthaza amazwe aseYurophu ukuthi aphindaphinde imali esetshenziswa ezempi, futhi yena ngokwakhe ezuza empini njengelungu lebhodi likaRaytheon. Bese kuba nelungu lebhodi le-USIP u-Eric Edelman, owayengunobhala ongaphansi ePentagon, okhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwemali okuphezulu kwezempi, ukuhlasela kwe-Iran, kanye nokuthunyelwa kwezikhali zenuzi emazweni asemngceleni waseRussia. Ilungu lebhodi le-USIP uMajor General Frederick M. Padilla, USMC, usezempi futhi. I isicelo esisha ibiza ukuthi esikhundleni sala malungu amathathu ebhodi kufakwe izishoshovu zokuthula, i-USIP engenabo ebhodini layo.
Kuyojabulisa kakhulu ukubona ukuthi i-USIP isebenzisana kanjani nalabo abayinxusa ukuthi iphile ngokwencazelo eqondile, engeyona eye-Orwellian yegama layo.
