Thanda Ukuthula? Hlela Ngobuchwepheshe Manje!

NguJack Gilroy, Ephreli 29, 2020

UDkt Martin Luther King uthe: "Labo abathanda ukuthula kumele bafunde ukuhlela kahle njengalabo abathanda impi."

Njengoba amaqembu e-biomedical emhlabeni wonke ehlela ukuthola umuthi wokugoma weCovid19, abenzi bokuthula bathole umzuzu wabo wokucindezela ubuholi bezepolitiki ukuthi bathole ikhambi lokulutha impi. Lolu bhubhane lungaba yisikhathi sokuguquka emlandweni wesintu wanamuhla. Ngeke kwenzeke ukuhlala ezimbongolweni zethu ezihlangene.

Okubaluleke Kuzwelonke (wwwUcwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi sichitha u-55.2% wesabelomali sethu sonyaka sokuzikhethela kwezempi ngenkathi siphika ubandlululo nokuxhumanisa kwalo nobubha. Isabelomali sethu sezempi siphanga abaseMelika, ikakhulukazi abaseMelika baseMelika. Ubungcweti bungayeka ngokunqanyulwa okujulile ekusetshenzisweni kwemali yokulungiselela impi, ukuvala izintuba zezinkampani ezinkulu ezibalekela intela, nokushaya umthetho wentela yokuthengiselana ngezezimali.

Lokhu akuyona imibono emisha. Kuyizinhlelo zokusebenza ukuthi ngisho nabafundi bami bezikole eziphakeme bezazi emashumini eminyaka adlule. Zonke zingenziwa kepha kuphela ngesenzo esihlelekile.

Ngo-1991, eminyakeni emibili ngemuva kokuwa kwekhethini lensimbi, abafundi abaphezulu eMaine-Endwell HS enyakatho neNew York bahlela imihlangano yeHholo Ledolobha ehholo labo lesikole esiphakeme. Ukugxila kwabo bekuwukuxoxa ngendlela yokusebenzisa isabelo sokuthula esilindelwe kusukela ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Bacwaninga uMhlangano Wedolobha, bathole imibhalo ekhombisa iPentagon nabakhiqizi bezikhali abakhulu bephikisana nokuguqulwa komnotho.

Kusihlwa koMhlangano Wedolobha kuphela i-Link Aviation ithumele izithunywa ukuzoxoxa ngalolu daba. (UMartin Marietta, manje onguLokheed-Martin, no-GE izimpi zombili zakule ndawo azizange ziboniswe) I-naiveté yabafundi yayiqala ukuwohloka njengoDonga lwaseBerlin. Ngakusasa i- IBinghamton Press kanye neLanga Bulletin usebenzise ukuhlela: Izingane Zizobahola. The Washington Post kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho bashicilele i-athikili esekhasini labo lokuhlela bedumisa abafundi be-ME ngokushayela kwabo izingxoxo ezinoqoqosho ezakhayo.

Vele, umenzi wezikhali nePentagon babe nendlela yabo. Ngabenzi bezikhali kuzo zonke izifunda ze-435 United States zebandla, benza imisebenzi; babeka isinkwa nebhotela ematafuleni abasebenzi baseMelika. Kuyindida ukuthi, abanye babafundi abafanayo abakhanyayo abacindezela abenzi bezikhali kungenzeka ukuthi babe yingxenye yohlelo lokulutha impi ababefuna ukuyishintsha kakhulu. Ukulutha impi kuyindlela yaseMelika.

Siyihambisa kanjani iCongress ukuthi ibone izifo, hhayi impi, eza kuqala? Amahhovisi e-DRM eWashington nasezifundeni zasekhaya avaliwe emphakathini. Intando yeningi yethu, ukuxegiselwa, nokugxila onqenqemeni lwe-fascism, manje sekuvaliwe.

IVeterans for Peace of Broome County NY iqoqe iqembu lezishoshovu ezinesipiliyoni ukuhlangana engqungqutheleni yaseZoom nelungu leKomidi Yezempi, u-Anthony Brindisi ngo-Ephreli 29 nonyaka neNew York Senators Schumer naseGillibrand ezizolandela ezinsukwini ezizayo.

Amanye amaqembu okuthula nobulungiswa ezizweni zonke angahlela amaseshini we-elekthronikhi nabamele federal manje abafuna ukuncishiswa okuningana kwemali esetshenziswa kwezempi.
