Izinsiza Ezinhlobene I-Power Point.
Engxoxweni yakamuva neThe Real News, umlingisi kanye nesishoshovu uJohn Cusack wenze iphuzu elilula kodwa elibaluleke kakhulu: "[Y] awukwazi ukuhlukanisa ubulungiswa besimo sezulu kanye nezempi', wathi," ... ngoba ama-drones azolandela amanzi ahlanzekile, futhi amasosha azovikela uwoyela, bese kuthi uma izinto ziqhubeka njengoba zinjalo, iplanethi iyaphela. ”
Kukhona 'iqiniso elingalungile' elingazange lingene ku-documentary ka-2006 ngalelo gama elihlanganisa u-Al Gore. Kuyinto engavamile ukushiwo yizishoshovu eziningi zobulungiswa bezemvelo nezenhlalakahle kanye nezinhlangano zabo. Iningi labaholi bezabasebenzi abafuna inguquko efanelekile yesistimu yamandla esimeme engenzi abasebenzi abanemisebenzi encike kuphethiloli ngaphandle kwezindleko zomphakathi nabo bathule.
Iqiniso liwukuthi ukuvimbela ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu ekubangeleni umonakalo omkhulu endaweni yethu yendalo nokusongela impilo eningi emhlabeni kanye nempucuko njengoba sazi ukuthi ngeke kufezwe ngaphandle uma siqeda inqubomgomo yethu yezangaphandle, siqede izimpi zabangeneleli futhi siphule ukubamba kokubili iBig Carbon kanye Isakhiwo sezempi-yezimboni sinesabelomali sethu sombuso, inqubomgomo yangaphandle, umnotho kanye nohulumeni.
Ukuthula kuwumgomo wesimo sezulu ngoba kuyisidingo sezulu
Impi iyiphupho elibi lezemvelo elingcolisa futhi lingcolise yonke indawo elwelwa kuyo, kuyilapho linomthelela omkhulu ekulayisheni kwekhabhoni emhlabeni. Amasosha ase-US angumthengi oyedwa omkhulu wamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi emhlabeni kanye nomngcolisi wawo omkhulu wegesi ebamba ukushisa. Izinhlekelele ezibangelwa izimpi nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu yizona ezihamba phambili zokufuduka kwabantu emhlabeni wonke kanye nenkinga yababaleki.
Imithelela yempi ngokomzimba, kwezenhlalo nakwezezimali izwakala ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. Impi, ukulungiselela impi kanye nemiphumela yayo kudonsa izinsiza ekutshalweni kwezimali kumandla avuselelekayo. Kukhawulela amandla ethu okuvikela imiphakathi yethu esengozini kakhulu futhi kunciphise imiphumela emibi kakhulu yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kudla izimali ezidingekayo ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezinye izidingo ezibalulekile zezomnotho nezenhlalakahle - ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, imfundo, ingqalasizinda, ukusebenza kahle kwamandla nokunye. Izindleko zempi ziyaqhubeka isikhathi eside ngemva kokuba ukulwa kuphelile ekunakekelweni okuqhubekayo okudingwa omakadebona, izindleko zomphakathi zokulutheka, ukucindezeleka nokunye ukubonakaliswa kwe-PTSD, kanye nenzalo ekhokhwayo ukuze kukhokhelwe isikweletu esinqwabeleka lapho kuliwa izimpi ekhadini lesikweletu likahulumeni.
Umsebenzi wethu oyinhloko webutho lezempi ukuvikela noma yini umongameli njengomphathi oyinhloko ayinqumayo 'kukuvikeleka kwezwe' laseMelika noma 'izintshisekelo ezibalulekile zase-US'. UGeorge Bush wathumela amashumi ezinkulungwane zamasosha ukuba ahlasele i-Iraq ngo-2003 ngaphandle kokucasulwa futhi ngokuphambene nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, egameni 'lokuphepha kwezwe'. Kodwa empeleni, imiqondo 'yokuvikeleka kwezwe' kanye 'nezintshisakalo ezibalulekile' imvamisa iyinkulumo-mpikiswano yokuvikela nokuvikela izintshisekelo zebhizinisi kanye nabatshalizimali, okugqamayo phakathi kwazo okuyizintshisekelo zama-fossil energy conglomerates kanye nesizinda sezempi-yezimboni - noma ngaphezulu ukwenza umhlaba uphephe ukuxhashazwa kanye nokuhweba ngamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi nezinye izinsiza zemvelo kuyilapho kukhulisa inzuzo yosonkontileka bezempi. Ukwenza lokho kufanele kugcizelele ukuphakama kwezempi kanye nobukhosi bomhlaba wonke ukudikibalisa, nokudikibalisa noma ukunqotshwa, noma yimuphi umuntu oqhudelana naye noma isitha, noma ngabe singokoqobo, singaba khona, siqanjiwe noma siyacatshangelwa. Amasosha ase-US asebenza njenge-enforcer yomhlaba wonke ezithakazelweni zamafutha ezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi. Umhlanganyeli kulowo mzamo uyinkimbinkimbi yezempi-yezimboni, egcina ubudlelwano obuncikene futhi obulukwe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa neBig Carbon. Akekho ongaphila ngaphandle komunye.
Ibutho laseMelika belilokhu lilwa iminyaka engaphezu kwe-17 ngezindleko ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu zamaRandi, futhi liye labandakanyeka ohlotsheni oluthile lwempi yezikhali noma ukungenelela kwezempi ngokwesilinganiso njalo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe II. Ukufinyeleleka kwayo emhlabeni wonke kunikezwa amadoda nabesifazane abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.3 ngaphansi kwezikhali ezisekelwe ezisekelweni zangaphandle ze-800 emazweni angu-80, ziqiniswe ngabathwali bezindiza ze-20; 66 imikhumbi-ngwenya; 329 ezinye izikebhe zemikhumbi; izindiza zempi ezingu-3,700, amabhomu nezindiza ezihlaselayo; amathangi angu-44,700 nezimoto zokulwa ezihlomile; Izikhali zenuzi eziyi-6,550, kanye nemicibisholo ecitshwayo ye-inter-continental ballistic engu-800 - amandla ezempi angenakuqhathaniswa nanoma yiliphi elinye izwe emhlabeni . I-US ithumele ama-Special Forces emazweni ayi-150 - ngaphezu kwezingxenye ezintathu kwezine zazo zonke izizwe emhlabeni * - enkonzweni lokho uMkhandlu Ophethe I-AFL-CIO ngo-2011 wakuchaza kahle ngokuthi "inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yezempi." I-US ilingana nencazelo yakudala 'yesifunda samasosha'.
Ukuze kufezwe le ndima, osonkontileka bamasosha namasosha aseMelika badla cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zesabelomali sonke sokuzikhethela sase-US, kubiza abakhokhi bentela ama- $ 1.25 trillion ngonyaka lapho isabelomali sesisekelo sePentagon, ukusetshenziswa kwempi, izikhali zenuzi, izinzuzo zama-veteran nokunakekelwa kwesikhathi esizayo, inzalo. ekhokhwa ngezimali ezibolekwe ukuxhasa izimpi ezedlule, kanye nezinye izindleko zikahulumeni ezihlobene nezokuphepha ziyahlanganiswa. Isabelomali sezempi sase-US sikhulu kunezizwe eziyisikhombisa ezilandelayo zihlangene - cishe okuphindwe kabili lokho okuchithwa yiChina, iRussia, i-Iran neNyakatho Korea - okungaphezulu kakhulu kwalokho okudingekayo ukuze kuvikelwe imingcele yezwe lethu nabantu balo.
Njengoba silahla izinto zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi, uguquko olufanele oluya emphakathini wamandla esimeme ludinga ukuthi sivikele imindeni yabokufika, sivikele futhi sihlangabezane nezidingo zemiphakathi ehamba phambili, siqinisekise inhlalakahle yabasebenzi abasuswa ezindaweni zabo kuyo yomibili imisebenzi encike kuphethiloli kanye nakwezempi yezimboni, kanye nokweseka. abasebenzi bezempi bathintwe ukuqedwa kwenqubomgomo yethu yezangaphandle enolaka.
Njengoba nje uphethiloli wezinsalela kanye nezithakazelo zezempi nezimboni zixhumene futhi zincike kwezinye, ngokufanayo nemvelo, ubulungiswa bezenhlalo kanye nezimbangela zabasebenzi, Inhlangano yezabasebenzi, ubulungiswa bezemvelo kanye nokuthula kumele ilahle indaba kanye nezinqolobane zenhlangano ukuze ziqale ukusebenza njengenhlangano eyodwa enenqubekela phambili enezinhlangothi eziningi. eliqondayo ukuthembela kwelinye futhi elithuthukisa ngokuqaphela ukubambisana, ukweseka nobumbano phakathi kwabo. Okuphoqe le mikhakha eyahlukene yomzabalazo wenqubekelaphambili wokweluka i-tapestry entsha enenqubekela phambili wukubona ukuthi ayikho kule mibutho engafeza izinjongo zayo ngaphandle kokufeza izinjongo zabanye. Ngeke sikwazi ukucekela phansi ikhabhoni ngempumelelo emnothweni wethu uma singacekisi nenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US.
UMfundisi Martin Luther King, Omncane wakuqonda lokhu lapho ememezela unyaka owodwa ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe: “Thina njengesizwe kumelwe senze izinguquko ezinkulu ezimisweni. . . . Lapho imishini nama-computer, izisusa zenzuzo namalungelo empahla kubhekwa njengokubaluleke kakhulu kunabantu, imidondoshiya emithathu yobandlululo, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo okwedlulele kanye nokulwela impi akukwazi ukunqotshwa.” Isiyalo sakhe sinanelwe muva nje wumkhankaso wabampofu.
Sidinga incazelo entsha yokuphepha kwezwe
Sidinga incazelo entsha yokuphepha kwezwe okusekelwe kulokho abantu baseMelika, hhayi izinkampani zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nesigaba sabatshalizimali okudingeka bavikeleke - hhayi ngokusekelwe kubukhulu bebutho lethu lezempi, inani lezisekelo zamasosha angaphandle, amandla ezikhali zethu noma isimo esithuthukile sobuchwepheshe bethu bezempi kodwa ngamandla ezindinganiso zethu ezabelwana ngazo kanye nezidingo kanye nezifiso zabantu baseMelika. Ukuphepha kwezwe kwangempela kufanele kuvikele abantu bakithi, hhayi inzuzo yezinkampani zamazwe ngamazwe.
- Ukuvikeleka kwangempela kwezwe kuba khona lapho abantu benemisebenzi eholayo eyanele ukunikeza izinga lokuphila elihloniphekile, izindlu ezithengekayo nokunakekelwa kwezempilo, imfundo ngaphandle kwesikweletu somfundi sokuphila konke, nokunakekelwa okuphephile, okuthengekayo kwezingane nabadala.
- Ukuvikeleka kwezwe kwangempela kunikeza ukuhamba kwabantu abaningi okuthengekayo, ingqalasizinda yomphakathi ephephile yesimanje, inetha efanelekile yokuphepha komphakathi, amandla esimeme angenayo i-carbon, ukuvikelwa kwendawo yethu, kanye nokudla okunempilo.
- Ukuvikeleka kwangempela kwezwe kungafinyelelwa kuphela uma wonke amazwe enciphisa ngokuphawulekayo ukusetshenziswa kwawo kwezibaseli ezimbiwa phansi, ehlisa usongo olubangelwa ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke, futhi eqeda zonke izikhali zenuzi.
- Ukuvikeleka kwezwe kwangempela kudinga ukuthi izwe lethu lisebenze emhlabeni njengelungu lomphakathi wezizwe zomhlaba wonke ukuze lizuze inhlonipho kunokuba lifake ukwesaba.
