Othandekayo (igama lomphathi),
Ukusho okusobala, yonke iplanethi manje isengozini yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, indawo yokuhlala kanye nokulahleka kwezinhlobo, ukufuduka kwabantu abaningi kanye nezimpi. Kulula ukuzizwa ukhululekile futhi ungenathemba. Kodwa ngokubheka ngokujulile esimweni, kuvele kube sobala ukuthi into eyingozi kunazo zonke esiyisebenzayo yilapho kusetshenziselwa imali kanye nokulimala kwemvelo okwenziwe ukulungiselela nokusebenza kwempi. Izwe lonke lichitha imali engaphezu kwe- $ 2 trillion minyaka yonke kulokhu okungenangqondo.
Inkinga yempi inkulu kakhulu inkinga yezizwe ezicebile ezikhukhula izizwe ezihluphekile ezinezikhali, iningi lazo ngenzuzo, ezinye mahhala. Izifunda zomhlaba esizicabange njengezimpi ezithandwayo ezibandakanya i-Afrika kanye neningi lama-Asia aseNtshonalanga, musa ukukhiqiza eziningi zezikhali zabo. Bangenisa kusuka ezizweni ezikude, ezicebile. Ukuthengiswa kwezingalo ezincane zamazwe ngamazwe, ikakhulukazi, kuye kwanyakazela eminyakeni yamuva, kathathu kusukela ku-2001.
Ukubandakanyeka kweCanada ne-United States kuqinisekisa ukuthi izimboni zethu ze-aerospace nezobuchwepheshe zisebenzela ukuveza izikhali zomshini wempi wase-US, omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni kuze kube manje, one-35% egcwele yezindleko zomhlaba zamasosha (SIPRI 2018). Umhlaba ugcwele izikhali, konke kusuka ezikhalini ezizenzakalelayo, empini yamathangi kanye nezikhali ezinzima. Abakhiqizi bezikhali banezinkontileka zikahulumeni ezinenzuzo futhi baxhaswa ngisho yibo futhi bayathengisa emakethe evulekile. I-US neCanada bathengise izigidigidi zezikhali eMiddle East engazinzile. Kwesinye isikhathi izikhali zithengiswa ezinhlangothini zombili kungxabano. Kwesinye isikhathi izikhali zigcina sezisetshenziswa kumthengisi nakubambisene nabo. Futhi manje sesinokusha okusha ngokubulala: i-drone. Isivumelwano Sokuhweba Ngezikhali se-UN asiqedi ukuhweba ngezikhali okungama- $ 70 billion ngonyaka; ivele "iyilawule".
Abaphathi bamaphothifoliyo banomsebenzi wokubambisana nabo ukuze bazise amaklayenti abo ngalokho okufunayo isikhathi eside. Ubudlova emhlabeni jikelele kubangela ukubhujiswa kwemvelo, nokufuduka kwabantu abaningi.
Kubuye kube nokuchitha okukhulu kwemithombo yezezimali kanye nezinto ezibonakalayo. Nginxusa ukuba uhlukanise izimali zami kubakhiqizi bezikhali, izinkontileka ezempi, nanoma yikuphi isikhwama sokubambisana phakathi kwabantu abathathu noma izikhungo zezezimali ezitshala ngobudlova, izikhali kanye nempi. I-Weapon Free Funds ithuluzi ku-worldbeyondwar.org/divest iyisitatimende se-mutual fund esingasesha esingasetshenziselwa ukuthola izinketho zokutshala izimali ngaphandle kwezikhali.
Ngokuzithoba, (igama lomthengi)
