Usuku Lomhlaba 2015: Bamba I-Pentagon Ibophezelekile Ngokubhubhisa Umama Womhlaba

Umkhankaso Kazwelonke Wokumelana Nobudlova (i-NCNR) uhlela isenzo ngoSuku Lomhlaba ukuze ucele ukuthi kuqedwe ukucekelwa phansi kweplanethi yethu Ibutho Lezempi Lase-United States. Ku Ukufudumala i-Pentagon UJoseph Nevins uthi, “Ibutho lezempi lase-U.S. liwumthengi omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni wamafutha ezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi, futhi liwuhlaka olulodwa olunomthwalo wemfanelo wokucekela phansi isimo sezulu soMhlaba.”

Asikwazi ukufulathela leli qiniso. Akungabazeki ukuthi Ibutho Lezempi laseMelika lidlala indima enkulu ekuqothulweni kwethu sonke. Sinezishoshovu ezisebenzela ukuthula, ezizama ukuqeda izimpi ezingenabulungisa nezingekho emthethweni, futhi sinomphakathi wezemvelo osebenzela uguquko ukumisa ukucekelwa phansi kweplanethi. Kodwa, kubalulekile ukuthi sihlangane manje futhi senze ukuxhumana ukuthi i-US Military inesibopho sokubulala izinkulungwane zabantu abangenacala ngempi, kanye nokuba nesibopho sokubhubhisa uMama wethu Womhlaba oyigugu ngokungcola. Kufanele zimiswe futhi uma abantu abanele behlangana, singakwenza.

Ukuze kufezwe lokho, i-NCNR ihlela isenzo ngo-April 22 kusukela ku-EPA kuya ku-Pentagon: Misa i-Ecoside Yezemvelo.

UNGAZITHOLA KANJANI?

Simema wonke umuntu ukuthi asayine kulezi zincwadi ezimbili ezingezansi, enye izothunyelwa ku-Gina McCarthy, inhloko ye-EPA, kanti enye ku-Ashton Carter, uNobhala Wezokuvikela ngo-April 22.  Ungangena kulezi zincwadi, ngisho noma ungakwazi. thamela isenzo ngo-Ephreli 22, ngokuthumela i-imeyili joyfirst5@gmail.com ngegama lakho, nanoma iyiphi inhlangano ofuna ifakwe ohlwini, kanye nedolobha lakini.

Ngo-April 22, sizohlangana e-EPA ngo-12th nasePennsylvania NW ngo-10:00 ekuseni. Kuzoba nohlelo olufushane kanye nomzamo wokwethula incwadi kanye nengxoxo nomuntu osesikhundleni sokwenza inqubomgomo kwa-EPA.

Sizothatha izinto zokuhamba zomphakathi futhi sihlangane kabusha enkundleni yokudla yasePentagon City ngo-1:00 ntambama. Sizocubungula siye ePentagon, sibe nohlelo olufushane, bese sizame ukuletha incwadi futhi sibe nengxoxo nomuntu osesikhundleni sokwenza inqubomgomo ePentagon. Uma umhlangano wenqatshwa, kuzoba nesenzo sokuphikisa okungenabudlova komphakathi. Uma ungathanda ukubeka engcupheni ukuboshwa noma unemibuzo mayelana nokuboshwa okuyingozi, xhumana naye mobuszewski@verizon.net or malachykilbride@yahoo.com . Uma usePentagon futhi ungakwazi ukuzifaka engcupheni yokuboshwa, kunendawo “yenkulumo yamahhala” ongahlala kuyo futhi ukhululeke kunoma iyiphi ingozi yokuboshwa.

Ezikhathini zokungabi nabulungisa okukhulu kanye nokuphelelwa ithemba, sibizelwa ukuba senze sisendaweni kanembeza nesibindi. Kunina nonke enigula yizinhliziyo ngokucekelwa phansi komhlaba ngokungcoliswa nokwenziwa kwezempi, siyanicela ukuthi nibambe iqhaza kule mashi egxile ezenzweni ekhuluma nenhliziyo nengqondo yenu, kusukela ku-EPA kuya ePentagon ngo-Ephreli 22 , Usuku Lomhlaba.

Sibhala njengabamele Umkhankaso Kazwelonke Wokumelana Nobudlova. Siyiqembu lezakhamizi ezizinikele ekusebenzeleni ukuqeda izimpi ezingekho emthethweni nokuhlala e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, kanye nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okungekho emthethweni ePakistan, Syria naseYemen. Sizokujabulela ukuhlangana nawe noma ummeleli ngokushesha okukhulu ukuze sixoxe ngalokho esikubona njengokwenziwa yi-Pentagon.

Sicela ubheke incwadi engezansi esiyithumele ku-Ashton Carter mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa okuhlasimulisayo kwemvelo kwePentagon. Kuyasixaka ukuthi i-Environmental Protection Agency ayithathi sinyathelo ngokumelene nokubhujiswa kwamabomu kwe-Pentagon yoMama woMhlaba. Kulo mhlangano sizochaza ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo i-EPA okufanele izithathe ngokumelene nePentagon ukuze ibambezele iNxushunxushu Yesimo Sezulu.

Sibheke ngabomvu impendulo yakho esicelweni sethu somhlangano, njengoba sikholelwa ukuthi izishoshovu zezakhamuzi zinelungelo nesibopho sokubandakanyeka ezindabeni ezibaluleke kangaka. Impendulo yakho izokwabiwa nabanye abathintekayo ngezindaba eziphakanyiswe ngenhla. Siyabonga ngokucabangela isicelo sethu.

Unobhala othandekayo uCarter:

Sibhala njengabamele Umkhankaso Kazwelonke Wokumelana Nobudlova. Siyiqembu lezakhamizi ezizinikele ekusebenzeleni ukuqeda izimpi ezingekho emthethweni nokuhlala e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, kanye nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okungekho emthethweni, kusukela ngoJulayi ka-2008, ePakistan, Syria naseYemen. Kungumbono wethu ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwama-drones kuwukwephula umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.

Ukusetshenziswa kwama-drones kubangela ukuhlupheka kwabantu okumangalisayo, ukungathembeki okukhulayo kwe-United States emhlabeni jikelele, futhi kuphambukisa izinsiza zethu ezingasetshenziswa kangcono ukudambisa ukuhlupheka kwabantu. Silandela izimiso zikaGandhi, King, Day nabanye, sisebenzela umhlaba onokuthula ngaphandle kobudlova.

Njengabantu abanonembeza, sikhathazeke kakhulu ngomonakalo odalwa amasosha ase-U.S. emvelweni. NgokukaJoseph Nevins, esihlokweni esishicilelwe ngoJuni 14, 2010 ngabakwa-CommonDreams.org, Ukufudumala i-Pentagon, "Umbutho wezempi wase-U.S. ungumthengi oyedwa omkhulu wamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi emhlabeni, futhi uyinhlangano eyodwa enesibopho esikhulu sokucekela phansi isimo sezulu soMhlaba." Isihloko sithi “. . . iPentagon idla imiphongolo kawoyela engaba ngu-330,000 ngosuku (umphongolo unamalitha angu-42), ngaphezu kweningi lamazwe omhlaba.” Vakashela http://www.commondreams.org/views/2010/06/14/greenwashing-pentagon.

Inani lamafutha asetshenziswa umshini wakho wezempi alikholeki, futhi imoto yezempi ngayinye iphinde ikhiphe izinto ezingcolisa umoya ngokukhipha umoya. Amathangi, amaloli, amaHumvees nezinye izimoto akwaziwa ukonga uphethiloli. Amanye ama-fuel guzzlers yimikhumbi-ngwenya, izindiza ezinophephela emhlane kanye nezindiza zempi. Indiza ngayinye yezempi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ihileleke ekuthuthweni kwamasosha noma emsebenzini wokulwa, inikela ngekhabhoni eyengeziwe emkhathini.

Irekhodi lezemvelo lezempi yase-U.S. libi. Noma iyiphi impi ingaletha i-ecocide endaweni yokulwa. Esinye isibonelo kwakuwukuqhuma kwamabhomu e-athomu eHiroshima naseNagasaki. I New York Times kubike ngoSepthemba 2014 ukuthi abaphathi baka-Obama bahlela ukusebenzisa imali engaphezu kwe- $ 1 trillion eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu ezayo ukuthuthukisa izikhali zenuzi. Ukumosha inani elikhulu kangaka lamadola entela ezikhalini ezinjalo akunangqondo. Futhi umonakalo odalwe yizimboni zezikhali zenuzi awunakubalwa.

Ngemva kweminyaka engamashumi amahlanu, iVietnam isabhekene nomthelela obangelwa ukusetshenziswa kwe-Agent Orange defoliant enobuthi. Kuze kube namuhla i-Agent Orange ibangela imiphumela elimazayo kubantu abangenacala baseVietnam, kanye nomakadebona base-US abachayeka kuyo ngesikhathi seMpi YaseVietnam.

Iminyaka eminingi, "Empini Yezidakamizwa," uhulumeni wase-US uzame ukulwa nokuhweba kwezidakamizwa okungekho emthethweni e-Colombia ngokufafaza amasimu e-coca ngamakhemikhali ayingozi njenge-glyphosate, adayiswa e-US yi-Monsanto njenge-RoundUp. Ngokuphambene nezitatimende zikahulumeni ezisemthethweni ezithi leli khemikhali liphephile, ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi i-glyphosate ibhubhisa impilo, amanzi, imfuyo, namapulazi abantu baseColombia ngemiphumela elimazayo. Iya ku http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=669, http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/10/31/colombias-agent-orange/ futhi http://www.commondreams.org/views/2008/03/07/plan-colombia-mixing-monsantos-roundup-bushs-sulfur.

Muva nje, uMama Womhlaba uyahlupheka ngoba iPentagon isaqhubeka nokusebenzisa izinhlamvu zeuranium eseziphelile. Kubonakala sengathi iPentagon yaqala ukusebenzisa izikhali ze-DU ngesikhathi se-Persian Gulf War 1 nakwezinye izimpi, okuhlanganisa ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwendiza yaseLibya.

Ngenxa yokuthi i-United States inamakhulu ezisekelo zamasosha lapha naphesheya, i-Pentagon ibhebhethekisa inkinga yezemvelo ekhulayo emhlabeni wonke. Isibonelo, ukwakhiwa kwesizinda Semikhumbi Yasemanzini yase-US e-Jeju Island, eNingizimu Korea kusongela i-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Ngokwe-athikili ku The Nation “Esiqhingini saseJeju, imiphumela yePacific Pivot mibi kakhulu. I-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, eseduze nechweba lezempi elihlongozwayo, izonqanyulwa abathwali bezindiza futhi ingcoliswe eminye imikhumbi yezempi. Umsebenzi oyisisekelo uzoqothula elinye lamahlathi athambile amakhorali asele emhlabeni. Kungabulala i-pod yokugcina yaseKorea yamahlengethwa ase-Indo-Pacific futhi kungcolise amanzi ahlanzekile, amaningi kakhulu entwasahlobo emhlabeni. Bekuzophinde kucekele phansi izindawo ezihlala izinkulungwane zezinhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane—eziningi zazo, njengexoxo elinomlomo omncane nenkalankala enezinyawo ezibomvu, esezisengozini enkulu kakade. Izindlela zokuziphilisa zomdabu, ezisimeme—kuhlanganise ne-oyster diving nezindlela zokulima zendawo esezichuma izinkulungwane zeminyaka—zizophela, futhi abaningi besaba ukuthi ukuphila okungokwesiko kwamadolobhana kwakuyonikelwa ezindaweni zokucima ukoma, izindawo zokudlela nezindawo zezifebe zamasosha.” http://www.thenation.com/article/171767/front-lines-new-pacific-war

Nakuba lezi zibonelo zinikeza ubufakazi obanele bokukhombisa izindlela uMnyango Wezempi obhubhisa ngazo iplanethi, sinokukhathazeka okukhulu ngebutho lase-U.S. ngenxa yezinye izizathu futhi. Ukwambulwa kwakamuva kodlame lokuhlukunyezwa e-U.S. kushiya ibala elibi endwangu yase-U.S. Ukuqhubeka nenqubomgomo ye-Pentagon yezimpi ezingenamkhawulo nakho kulimaza isithombe se-USA emhlabeni wonke. Umbiko wakamuva oputshuziwe we-CIA ukuqinisekisile ukuthi iziteleka ze-drone ezibulalayo zibe yimpumelelo kuphela ekudaleni amaphekula amaningi.

Sithanda ukuhlangana nawe noma ummeleli wakho ukuze sixoxe ngendima yePentagon ekucekeleni phansi imvelo. Sizokunxusa, njengezinyathelo zokuqala, ukuthi ulethe wonke amasosha ekhaya kulezi zimpi ezimbi nemisebenzi, ukuqeda zonke izimpi zama-drone, futhi uvale inkimbinkimbi yezikhali zenuzi. Kulo mhlangano, singabonga uma unganikeza imininingwane enemininingwane yokukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa kwamasosha, okuhlanganisa ne-carbon dioxide.

Njengezishoshovu zezakhamizi kanye namalungu oMkhankaso Kazwelonke Wokumelana Nobudlova, sithobela izimiso zeNuremberg. Lezi zimiso, ezasungulwa phakathi nokuqulwa kwamacala ezigebengu zempi zamaNazi, zinxusa abantu abanonembeza ukuba baphonsele uhulumeni inselele lapho wenza izenzo zobugebengu. Njengengxenye yesibopho sethu saseNuremberg, siyanikhumbuza ukuthi nafunga ukuthi nizogcina uMthethosisekelo. Engxoxweni, sizokwethula idatha ukukhombisa ukuthi i-Pentagon ihlukumeza kanjani uMthethosisekelo kanye ne-ecosystem.

Sicela ubuyele kithi, ukuze umhlangano uhlelwe ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Isimo samanje siyaphuthuma. Amadolobha nezifunda zibulawa indlala, kuyilapho amadola entela emoshwa ezimpini nasemisebenzini. Abamsulwa bayafa ngenxa yezinqubomgomo zezempi zase-U.S. Futhi umonakalo odalwe yiPentagon kumele umiswe.

Abaningi ababukele baye baqaphela ukuthi izimo zezulu zishintsha kakhulu. Kanti-ke isimo sezulu siye sabathinta kakhulu abalimi bomhlaba, okubangele ukuntuleka kokudla emazweni amaningi. Isomiso siyenzeka e-Australia, eBrazil naseCalifornia. INyakatho-mpumalanga ihlushwa iziphepho ezinkulu njengoba sibhala. Ngakho-ke asihlangane sixoxe ngokuthi singasebenzisana kanjani ukuze sisindise uMama woMhlaba.

Sibheke ngabomvu impendulo yakho esicelweni sethu somhlangano, njengoba sikholelwa ukuthi izishoshovu zezakhamuzi zinelungelo nesibopho sokubandakanyeka ezindabeni ezibaluleke kangaka. Impendulo yakho izokwabiwa nabanye abathintekayo ngezindaba eziphakanyiswe ngenhla. Siyabonga ngokucabangela isicelo sethu.
