Nge-Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, Ephreli 28, 2023
NgoSuku Lomhlaba 2023, izishoshovu zokuthula nezishoshovu zezemvelo bahlangana ndawonye esiteshini esikhulu sikaphethiloli ePentagon ukuze bafakaze ngobuhlanya bokushiswa kwenani elikhulu lezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi egameni leNational Security ngenkathi umhlaba uvutha ngenxa yokufudumala kwembulunga yonke / ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu. .
Ihlelwe yi-Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, izishoshovu zahlangana ngo-Ephreli 22nd at I-Manchester Fuel Depot, eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi iManchester Fuel Department (MFD), ukuze ibhikishele ukusetshenziswa kwe-hydrocarbon yi-US Navy kanye noMnyango Wezokuvikela. Idepho yaseManchester itholakala eduze kwasePort Orchard eWashington State.
Idepho yaseManchester iyindawo enkulu yokuphakela uphethiloli yamasosha ase-US, futhi itholakala eduze kwamaphutha amakhulu okuzamazama komhlaba. Ukuchitheka kwanoma yimuphi wale mikhiqizo kawoyela kungaba nomthelela emvelweni entekenteke ye-Salish Sea, ulwandle olukhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni futhi olucebe ngokwebhayoloji emaphakathi nezwe. Igama layo lihlonipha izakhamuzi zokuqala zesifunda, abantu base-Coast Salish.
Amalungu e-The Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, 350 West Sound Climate Action, kanye ne-Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Fellowship ahlangane eManchester State Park ngoMgqibelo zingama-22 kuMbasa, futhi alibangisa esangweni le-Fuel Depot ku-Beach Drive eduze kwaseManchester, eWashington. Lapho babonisa amabhanela nezimpawu ezibiza uhulumeni wase-US ukuba: 1) avikele amathangi ekuvuzeni nasekusongelwani kokuzamazama komhlaba; 2) ukunciphisa izinga lekhabhoni lomnyango wezokuvikela; 3) shintsha izinqubomgomo zezempi nezamanxusa zase-United States ukuthi zithembele kancane ezingomeni nasezintweni ezimbiwa phansi ukusetshenziswa kwazo kubhebhethekisa inkinga yesimo sezulu.
Ababhikishi babingelelwe esangweni ngonogada nonogada, ababamukele (ngokuxaka okuxakayo) ngamanzi amponjwana, nezitatimende zokuthi bavikela amalungelo ababhikishi nokuthi bayayihlonipha [izishoshovu] zabo inkululeko yokukhuluma.
Ngemva komlindelo omfishane leli qembu libe selingena esikhumulweni semikhumbi ethekwini laseManchester lapho lavula khona isibhengezo esasithi, “UMHLABA UNGOMAMA WETHU – MPHATHELE NGENHLONIPHO”, phambi kwemikhumbi endaweni yokuthela uphethiloli eDepho Yamafutha.
The Umnyango Wezibaseli waseManchester (i-MFD) iyitheminali kaphethiloli yoMnyango Wezokuvikela enkulu kunazo zonke enesayithi eyodwa e-United States. Idepho inikeza uphethiloli wezinga lezempi, izinto zokuthambisa nezithasiselo emikhunjini ye-US Navy kanye ne-Coast Guard, nakuleyo evela ezizweni ezihlangene njengeCanada. Amarekhodi atholakala kusukela ngo-2017 abonisa 75 million amalitha kaphethiloli egcinwe ku-MFD.
Amasosha ase-US anenani cishe Izisekelo zamasosha e-750 emhlabeni wonke futhi ikhipha ikhabhoni eningi emkhathini kunezizwe eziyi-140.
Ukube amasosha ase-US bekuyizwe, ukusetshenziswa kwawo kukaphethiloli kukodwa bekuzokwenza kube yizwe I-47th emitter enkulu yamagesi abamba ukushisa emhlabeni, ehlezi phakathi kwePeru nePortugal.
Izingxabano ezibangelwa noma ezibhebhethekiswa ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu zifaka isandla ekungavikelekeni komhlaba wonke, okubuye kwandise amathuba okusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi. Imithelela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu ingase futhi ifeze izifiso phakathi kwezinye izifundazwe zokuthola izikhali zenuzi noma izinhlobo ezahlukene zezikhali zenuzi ezisebenziseka kalula noma ezinobuhlakani.
Nakuba ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nosongo lwempi yenuzi kuyizinsongo ezimbili ezinkulu zekusasa lesintu nokuphila emhlabeni wethu, izixazululo zazo ziyefana. Ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kuxazululwe enye yezinkinga—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuqeda noma ukunciphisa ngokuqinile izikhali zenuzi noma ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa—kungasiza kakhulu ngesixazululo kwenye.
The ISivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zase-Nuclear (TPNW) yaqala ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 2021. Nakuba ukwenqatshelwa kwesivumelwano kubophezela ngokusemthethweni kuphela emazweni (angama-60 kuze kube manje) aba “Amaqembu Amazwe” esivumelwaneni, lokho kuvinjelwa kweqa imisebenzi yohulumeni kuphela. I-athikili 1(e) yesivumelwano ivimbela Izizwe Ezihlangene ekusizeni “noma ubani” obambe iqhaza kunoma iyiphi yaleyo misebenzi enqatshelwe, okuhlanganisa izinkampani ezizimele kanye nabantu abangaba yingxenye yebhizinisi lezikhali zenuzi.
Ilungu leGround Zero uLeonard Eiger uthe “Ngeke sikwazi ukubhekana nenkinga yesimo sezulu ngaphandle kokubhekana nosongo lwenuzi. UMongameli uBiden kumele asayine i-TPNW ukuze sikwazi ukuqala ngokushesha ukususa inani elikhulu lemali edingekayo, imali yabantu kanye nengqalasizinda kude namalungiselelo empi yenuzi ukuze sibhekane nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ukusayina i-TPNW kuzothumela umlayezo ocacile kwamanye amandla enuzi, futhi ekugcineni kuthuthukise ukubambisana neRussia neChina. Izizukulwane ezizayo zincike ekutheni senze ukukhetha okufanele!
Ukuba seduze kwethu ne inani elikhulu lezikhali zenuzi ezisetshenzisiwe e-US. eBangor, kanye nase "Isiteshi sikaphethiloli esikhulu kunazo zonke ePentagon" eManchester, ifuna ukuzindla okujulile kanye nokusabela ezinsongweni zempi yenuzi nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
Impendulo yoMthetho Wenkululeko Yolwazi ka-2020 evela kulungu leNavy kuya ku-Ground Zero uGlen Milner ibonise ukuthi uphethiloli omningi ovela edepho yaseManchester uthunyelwa ezisekelweni zamasosha endawo, mhlawumbe ngezinjongo zokuqeqesha noma zezempi. Uphethiloli omningi uthunyelwa eNaval Air Station Whidbey Island. Bheka https://1drv.ms/
I-F/A-18F eyodwa, efana namajethi eBlue Angels andiza njalo ehlobo phezu kweSeattle, idla cishe 1,100 amalitha kaphethiloli we-jet ngehora.
IPentagon, ngo-2022, yamemezela ukuvalwa okuhleliwe kwe- idepho yamafutha eduze kwasePearl Harbor eHawaii eyakhiwa ngesikhathi esifanayo nedepho yaseManchester. Isinqumo sikaNobhala Wezokuvikela u-Lloyd Austin besisekelwe ekuhlolweni okusha kwe-Pentagon, kodwa futhi besihambisana nomyalo woMnyango Wezempilo waseHawaii wokukhipha uphethiloli emathangini. Isikhungo Sokugcina Isibaseli E-Red Hill.
Lamathangi avuze emthonjeni wamanzi okuphuza futhi amanzi angcolile emakhaya nasemahhovisi asePearl Harbor. Cishe abantu abangu-6,000, iningi labo abahlala ezindlini zamasosha e-Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam bagula, befuna ukwelashelwa isicanucanu, ikhanda, ukuqubuka nezinye izifo. Futhi imindeni yezempi engu-4,000 yaxoshwa ezindlini zayo futhi isemahhotela.
Idepho yaseManchester ihlezi endaweni ecishe ibe ngamamayela amabili ogwini lwaseSalish Sea, igcina imikhiqizo kaphethiloli emathangeni enqwaba kaphethiloli angu-44 (33 Amathangi Okugcina Angaphansi Komhlaba kanye namaThangi Okugcina angu-11 Ngaphezulu) kumahektare angama-234. Iningi lamathangi lalikhona eyakhiwa ngawo-1940. Idepho yamafutha (ipulazi lamathangi kanye nendawo yokulayisha) ingaphansi kwamamayela ayisithupha entshonalanga ye-Alki Beach e-Seattle.
Umbono oyindida womlando: I-Manchester State Park yathuthukiswa njengendawo yokuvikela ugu eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule ukuze ivikele isizinda samasosha ase-Bremerton ekuhlaselweni olwandle. Le ndawo yadluliselwa esifundazweni saseWashington futhi manje isiyindawo yomphakathi yobuhle bemvelo obumangalisayo namathuba okungcebeleka. Ngenqubomgomo efanele yezangaphandle kanye nokusetshenziswa kuqala kwemali. Kuyingxenye yombono wezishoshovu ezinethemba ngekusasa ukuthi izindawo zamasosha ezifana nalezi zingaguqulwa zibe izindawo eziqinisekisa ukuphila kunokuba zizisongele.
Umcimbi olandelayo we-Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action uzoba ngoMgqibelo, Meyi 13, 2023, uhloniphe inhloso yokuqala yoSuku Lokuthula Lomama.
