Incwadi entsha kaKieran Finnane inesihloko esithi "Amacala Oxolo." Kubhekiswa ezenzweni zokungalaleli komphakathi ezilwa nempi, noma ukumelana nempi komphakathi. Ithemba lami ukuthi le nkulumo iyaqhubeka izwakala ingenangqondo njengoba injalo manje, nokuthi ngelinye ilanga inkulumo ethi "amacala ezimpi" iyayijoyina ngokuzwakala ngokuhlekisayo. "Amacala okuthula" kufanele azwakale ehlekisa ngoba ukwenza ukuthula ngokuthula isenzo esiphikisana kakhulu nobugebengu. "Amacala ezimpi" kufanele azwakale ehlekisa ngoba impi isenzo esinecala kunazo zonke, hhayi ibhizinisi elisemthethweni lapho kungenziwa khona ubugebengu obuncane - isimo esenza "amacala ezimpi" angabi namandla futhi angasho lutho njengamacala "obugqila" noma "amacala okudlwengula" noma "ubugebengu bokubamba inkunzi" kungaba uma imishwana enjalo ikhona.

Isihloko esigcwele sencwadi sithi Amacala Oxolo: Pine Gap, National Security, and Dissent. Ababukeli beNetflix bayazi ukuthi yini iPine Gap, kunjalo. Kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu, eyimfihlo efanelekile, yezokuxhumana ogwadule lwase-Australia, lapho abaseMelika abahle, abasebenza kanzima benza konke okusemandleni abo ukuvikela omongameli base-US abangenacala abacabanga ngebhizinisi labo ebudloveni bezinye izizwe ezingenangqondo, ngenkathi ngasikhathi sinye bezama ukuqeda abaphezulu -izakhamizi izakhamizi zasemanzini ase-Australia zombuso omkhulu kunayo yonke indawo ezokwazi. Ukhiye wokugcina abantu base-Australia bejabule, ngokwemvelo, kuyabaqinisekisa ukuthi bangabalingani abaphambili kakhulu base-United States i-United States ezosebenzisa ubudlova obukhulu uma iJapane noma iKorea noma elinye ikoloni libajikela ngokuzumayo - isenzo esesatshwa cha cha ukuhlaziywa okujulile, isenzo esingaxhomekeka ku-100% kwizikhali zase-US, isenzo. . . kepha ake sizame ukungazinikeli ngemininingwane yesakhiwo.

I-Pine Gap empeleni iyi-CIA yangaphambili, manje eseyimpi yase-US isisekelo lokho kusetshenziswa ndawonye nezisekelo ezifanayo nemikhumbi nezindiza emhlabeni jikelele ukuhlola umhlaba nokukhomba izikhali - njengemicibisholo ye-drone nemicibisholo yenuzi - emhlabeni. IPine Gap isetshenziselwa ukubulala, zombili njengengxenye yezimpi futhi - okubonakala kukhathaza abantu kakhulu - hhayi njengengxenye yezimpi, kanye nokuhlelela - okuhlupha abantu okungenani kunakho konke - ukubhujiswa okuphelele kwe-apocalypse yenuzi. Sekungamashumi eminyaka, abanye abantu base-Australia ababekekayo bebeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwabo kanye nenkululeko yabo ngokubhikisha i-Pine Gap - ngisho nokuthwebula iPine Gap.

Izinhloli ezinkulu ezisebenza ePine Gap zicasulwe yilokhu, kunjalo, ngoba zikholelwa ukuthi isiphetho sombuso sincike ekusithekeni okuqinile, nokuthi ubudlwangudlwangu obungenanhlonipho obusuka kumbimbi yamavukelambuso busibeka engcupheni ngokuthanda kwabo isimilo, inhlonipho yamalungelo omdabu, nokungabi nandaba ngokuphelele kuzinzuzo zikaRaytheon. Izinhloli ezifanayo ezinkulu, njengoba kujwayelekile, azikwazi ukugcina izishoshovu ezingaphethe zikhali ngaphandle kocingo, noma ukuyeka ukudalula okuningi abakwenzayo ePine Gap kumaphrofayli abo e-LinkedIn. Kepha, ngokuncoma kwabo, benza - ngokubambisana namasosha ase-Australia - baphakamisa izindinganiso zomthetho, isizotha, nokuhlonipheka lapho bebhekene nokutholakala kokuthula okungekho emthethweni, bengalokothi bakhotheme benyanye isenzo sobudlova sokuziphatha kwamasosha ase-US esitholakala kwabezindaba. Nakhu ukuthi omunye wababhikishi waboshwa kanjani - kulokhu kwesinye isosha isisekelo e-Australia:

“UGreg Rolles. . . wathi watshela amasosha amabili ayedlula kuye ukuthi wayengumbhikishi ongenalo udlame futhi wayengeke amelane nalokhu; noma kunjalo bambamba bamwisa phansi. Edonsa isaka le-hessian ekhanda lakhe, omunye wabo wathi, 'Siyakwamukela esikhwameni, ntombazanyana.' . . . Amasosha agingqela uGreg esiswini sakhe, adonsela ibhulukwe lakhe nesikhindi sangaphansi, amhudula ngezihlakala zakhe aboshwe ngazo ngesandla emamitheni ayishumi, isitho sakhe sangasese sidaluliwe. ”

Lokhu kuphoqelelwa komthetho ngentando yeningi enkulu yase-Australia akunankinga kangako ngenkinga yokuthi iPine Gap, kanye ne-US Marines ezinze e-Australia, benza amacala, noma inkinga uhulumeni wase-Australia kanye nabantu base-Australia abanganikezwanga ngayo imininingwane yalawo macala, noma inkinga izikhulu zase-US ezizibamba ngayo ngaphezu kweNkantolo Yamacala Obugebengu Yomhlaba Wonke kepha abase-Australia kuthiwa abenzi kanjalo. Inkinga yokuthi imisebenzi efana naleyo eyenziwe yiPine Gap ivame ukudala i-blowback mhlawumbe ayibhekwa njengenkinga nhlobo, okungenani hhayi ngomqondo wokuthi lelo phephelo lizosiza kuphela (ngamanga) ukufakazela iphuzu.

Amacala Oxolo igxile esenzweni esisodwa sokubhikisha esihilela abantu abahlanu abangena ePine Gap futhi bathandaze futhi badlale umculo wokuthula - isenzo sabasebenzi abangamaKatolika, isenzo segeja. Izenzo ezinjalo zenziwa emhlabeni wonke nase-United States. Izishoshovu zokuthula zaseMelika uKathy Kelly noMalachy Kilbride kukhulunywa ngabo encwadini njengabavakashele futhi bakhuthaza izishoshovu zase-Australia. Kepha izinto zehlukile emaphethelweni ombuso. Umuntu uvunyelwe, enkantolo, ukuchaza kabanzi ngencazelo, ukuzivikela, impikiswano ngesidingo sokungenelela ukuvimbela ubugebengu obukhulu; izinkantolo azinonya kangako ekugwebeni; kukhona ukwesekwa kwezishoshovu ezivezwe kuhulumeni; nezincwadi ezikhuluma ngezenzo zibhalwe kangcono.
