Kungani SiyiKayaking siye ePentagon, nokuthi Kungani Kufanele Ujoyine Nathi

NguDavid Swanson

Iviki elilodwa ngaphambi kwe #NoWar2017: Ingqungquthela yeMpi neyendawo, ozoba ngoSepthemba 22-24 e-American Univeristy, World Beyond War izosebenzisana ne-Backbone Campaign nabanye ababambisene nabo ukuhlela i-flotilla yezemvelo nokuthula, eletha kayaktivism eWashington, DC, ngoSepthemba 16th.

Kungani? Kusho ukuthini? Ubani obhola uwoyela ku-Potomac?

Empeleni iPotomac iyikomkhulu eliphakathi nendawo lokusetshenziswa kukawoyela, njengoba indlela ephezulu esidla ngayo uwoyela ukulungiselela nokulungiselela izimpi - izimpi ezivame kakhulu ukukhuthazwa yisifiso sokulawula uwoyela omningi.

Ngemuva kwePentagon kunesikhumbuzo sika-9/11, kepha asikho isikhumbuzo senhlekelele yePentagon ezayo ezofika ngesikhukhula.

Amasosha ase-US angumthengi ophambili we-petroleum azungeze futhi angaba phezulu ngalelo zinga ohlwini lwamazwe, ukube bekulizwe. Amasosha angcolisa okwesithathu emigwaqweni yaseMelika. I-United States ingaguqulela emandleni aqhubekayo ngokuphelele engxenyeni yesabelomali sezempi saseMelika (futhi ikuthole konke ukubuyisela imali ekunakekelweni kwezempilo).

Amazwe amaningi emhlabeni anamasosha ase-US kuwo. Amazwe amaningi emhlabeni (wonke amazwe!) Ashisa uphethiloli omncane kakhulu kunempi yase-US. Futhi lokho ngaphandle kokubala ukuthi kubi kangakanani kaphethiloli we-jet yesimo sezulu kunamanye amandla we-fossil. Futhi ngaphandle kokubheka ukusetshenziswa kwamafutha okugcwala komhlaba okwenziwa ngabenzi bezikhali eziphambili emhlabeni, noma ukungcoliswa okubangelwa ukusetshenziswa kwalezo zikhali emhlabeni wonke. I-US ingumthengisi wezikhali ophambili emhlabeni, futhi inezikhali ezinhlangothini eziningi zezimpi eziningi.

Amasosha ase-US adale i-69% yezindawo zenhlekelele ye-EPA Superfund. Ukuvikela imvelo ngeke kwenziwe ngaphandle kokukhipha intando yeningi.

Ngenkathi iBrithani iqala ukuzibandakanya eMiddle East, idlulisela e-United States, isifiso kwakuwukushisa iButho Lempi laseBrithani. Yini eza kuqala? Izimpi noma uwoyela? Kwakuyizimpi. Izimpi namalungiselelo ezimpi ezengeziwe kudla inani elikhulu lamafutha. Kepha izimpi ngempela zilwelwa ukulawula uwoyela. Lokho okuthiwa ukungenelela kwangaphandle ezimpini zombango, ngokusho kwezifundo eziphelele, izikhathi ze-100 kungenzeka kakhulu - hhayi lapho kukhona khona ukuhlupheka, hhayi lapho kunesihluku khona, hhayi lapho kunosongo khona emhlabeni, kepha lapho izwe elinempi enkulu izinqolobane zika-oyela noma ongeneleli unesidingo esikhulu samafutha.

Sidinga ukufunda ukuthi "Azisekho Izimpi Zikawoyela" nokuthi "Amafutha Awasekho Ezimpini."

Uyazi ukuthi ubani ovumelana nalokhu? Umkhankaso wangaphambi komongameli uDonald Trump. NgoDisemba 6, 2009, ekhasini 8 le New York Times incwadi eya kuMongameli Obama ephrintiwe njengesikhangiso futhi esisayinwe nguTrump ebizwa ngokuthi ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu iyinselelo ngokushesha. "Sicela ungawuhlehlisi umhlaba," kusho. "Uma sehluleka ukwenza okuthile manje, akunakuphikwa ngokwesayensi ukuthi kuzoba nemiphumela emibi futhi engenakuphikwa esintwini nakulomhlaba wethu."

Eqinisweni, uTrump manje usethatha isinyathelo ukusheshisa leyo miphumela, isenzo esishushiswa njengobugebengu obhekene nobuntu yiNkantolo Yezelelesi Yomhlaba - okungenani ukube uTrump ubengowase-Afrika. Kubuye kube yicala elingenakufinyeleleka yi-United States Congress - okungenani uma kunendlela ethile yokubandakanya ucansi kuyo. Ukuphendula lo hulumeni kufanele.

Ngenkathi izimpi ziyimbangela ephezulu yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukulawulwa kwamafutha okugcwala komhlaba kuyisisusa esiphezulu sezimpi. Izimpi azibangelwa “ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu” lapho kungekho zinqumo zabantu zokuya empini, kepha abantu abakhetha impi bavame ukwenza lokho bephendula izinhlobo zezinkinga ezidalwa yimbubhiso yemvelo. Funda kabanzi lapha noma kithi inkomfa. Ama-pro-imvelo kanye nezishoshovu ze-pro-peace zifunda ukusebenza ndawonye. Lesi yisikhathi esithakazelisayo!

LAPHO: IPentagon Lagoon phambi kwePentagon.

Chofoza lapha ukuze ubhalise ukuze ujoyine i-flotilla.

Ukuhamba ngesikebhe ukufinyelela ePentagon Lagoon kutholakala endaweni yokuqaliswa kwezikebhe endaweni I-Columbia Island Marina. I-Marina ingafinyelelwa ngemoto esuka emigwaqweni yaseningizimu yeGeorge Washington Memorial Parkway.

ILagoon isenamanzi amaningi, ivikelekile emandleni omoya nawamanje eMfuleni iPotomac. Sizogibela izikebhe zethu, izikebhe, izikebhe ezilandelanayo, izikebhe zesikebhe, nezifufula ezinokwehla ibanga elifushane kakhulu endaweni efanelekile yezithombe. Lokhu kumayelana nesipiliyoni sesikebhe esilula esingafinyeleleka ngaphandle kwechibi lokubhukuda noma kubhavu. Kepha sifuna ukuphepha kube ize kuqala. Wonke umuntu kufanele abe nejazi lempilo. Futhi sinikezela ngezinsuku ezimbili zokuqeqeshwa ngokuzikhethela zama-kayak, ngo-Agasti 12 eSt Mary's City, MD, naku-Agasti 26, eColumbia Island Marina (bhalisela eyodwa noma sobabili uma wena chofoza lapha ukuze ujoyine i-flotilla).

Sicela ucabangele ukuletha izimpawu kanye / noma ukugqoka amashirts afanele, njengawo lezi or lezi.

Ezinye imibono yezandla:

I-Flotilla Yezemvelo Nokuthula!

Impi noma iPlanethi: Khetha!

IPentagon = Umkhiqizi ophezulu we-CO2

Impi Iphuza Iplanethi Yethu

I-Pentagon = Ukuphakama kolwandle

Lawa Manzi Aphakama Ngenxa Yokwakha

Washington Will Sink Ngaphansi Pentagon Ukuchitha

Awekho Izimpi Zamafutha

Awekho amafutha amaningi wezimpi

(yenza ngokwakho!)

Ukhumbula uJay Marx!

Jay Marx wayengummangaleli wezokuthula nobulungiswa be-DC-okusekelwe yingozi engozini eminyakeni emibili eyedlule. U-Jay ngabe wayethande lesi senzo. Jay Marx Presente!
