Ukuhlalwa komhlaba kanye nokubakhona kobubi obuncane kusezintanjeni, futhi ukukhula ngokwenyuka kuyachuma ngisho nasomzuzu wamanje wokukhushulwa kwezishoshovu zoshintsho olukhulu. Bheka nje okusha “Uhlelo Lwezinyathelo Zesimo Sezulu” kusukela eKomidini Elikhethiwe Leqembu LeDemocratic Party mayelana Nenhlekelele Yesimo Sezulu.
Umgomo omkhulu weshumi leminyaka elizayo uwuku—ziqinise, ungakhungatheki ngalokhu — “Yehlisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa yase-US ngo-37% ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-2010 ngo-2030.” Oooooooh! Aaaaaaaaaah! Sonke sizofa kancane kancane!
Ake ucabange ngakho, lowo ngumbono wesiqubulo esingcono somkhankaso kaJoe Biden kunokuthi "Shoot em in the Legs!"
Kodwa ungakholwa umzuzu ukuthi leli cebo lisho lokho elikushoyo. Izisombululo zayo zihlanganisa imikhonyovu eyinhlekelele efana “nama-biofuels” namandla enuzi. Iphakamisa ukuthi alukho ushintsho olubalulekile endleleni yokuphila, kuncishiswe ukusetshenziswa komuntu siqu, futhi akukho kumiswa noma ukwehliswa kokudla inyama (kodwa ukukhiqizwa kwamandla avuselelekayo emhlabeni osetshenziselwa imfuyo, ukuze wona lowo mhlaba ukwazi ukunciphisa umonakalo ongeyena owenzayo). Ayinikezi isabelomali sombuso esihlongozwayo nganoma yikuphi ukuhanjiswa okukhulu kwemali lapho idingeka khona, futhi alukho uhlelo lokukhipha noma yiziphi izinsiza kosozigidigidi nezikhondlakhondla zebhizinisi.
Lolu hlelo lube kugxekwa ngokunganaki kakhulu abantu abangama-96% ukuze kubhekwane nenkinga yomhlaba wonke njengezwe elingalodwa. Akulungile impela lokho. Empeleni kuwuhlelo olwakhelwe phezu kodlame olunobutha emhlabeni wonke futhi kubalulekile ukuthatha umhlaba ngamabutho ezempi. Nakhu okuncane kwakho:
“Amasosha aseMelika angawona mthengi omkhulu wamandla avela kuphethiloli. Phakathi kwezinhlaka zikahulumeni, uMnyango Wezokuvikela (DOD) unesibopho sokusebenzisa amandla angama-77% kahulumeni wobumbano.”
Leli qiniso elijabulisayo lilandelwa akukho ukusikisela okukude kakhulu njengokuthi "ukufunda" ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukunciphisa impi. Eqinisweni, kuyingxenye yesigaba sombiko obizwa ngokuthi “Sebenzisa Amandla Ezempi Ukufaka I-Net-Zero kanye Nokufakwa Kwamandla Aqinile.” “Amandla ezempi,” njengoba ufunda kuwo, abonakala engamandla okwenza umonakalo omncane emvelweni ngenkathi eqhubeka kancane elungiselela omunye wemisebenzi elimaza kakhulu imvelo eyake yaklanywa: impi. Eqinisweni, impumelelo yomqhele "yamandla ezempi" iphenduka ikhono lokuhlela ukuzama ukufeza ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kwe-net-zero ezisekelweni zempi ngonyaka ka-2030. Lokhu kuzosho ukudinga izisekelo zezempi ukuthi zifake "okuvuselelekayo" ukukhiqizwa kwamandla (okuhlanganisa i-nuclear, i-biofuels, noma yini). Kodwa i-pass izonikezwa kunoma yiziphi izisekelo noma yikuphi emhlabeni ezibhalwe ukuthi "ezingapheli," yi-Pentagon, kuhlanganise nanoma yiziphi izisekelo ezingahlali manje ezigcwele umhlaba wonke ezingakaqiniseki ngo-2030. Ayikho ingxoxo yokuthi umbutho wezempi usuvele uthola u-60% wemali esetshenziswa yi-federal discretionary, nokuthi ukuyinikeza okwengeziwe ukuze kuncishiswe umonakalo ewenzayo kuphambene nomqondo wokwenza uhlelo oluphelele olusebenzayo lokuhlehlisa ukucekelwa phansi kwesimo sezulu.
Lo mbiko weDemocratic Crisis Action Report uchaza ukuthi "Amasosha anesimo esiyingqayizivele sokusebenzisa amafutha enziwe ngekhabhoni ethwebuliwe, ngoba ukukhiqiza amafutha endaweni e-Forward Operating Bases kungagwema ubungozi obuhlobene nokuletha ngokoqobo izibaseli ezivamile, ezidinga ukuvikelwa ekuhlaselweni kwezitha." Ngamanye amazwi, uma uzoqhubeka nokududula udlame olunonya emhlabeni futhi ufake izizinda zamasosha emazweni abanye abantu lapho bezocasuka futhi baphikiswe khona, ingxenye ebalulekile yesu lesimo sezulu sezwe lasebukhosini kumele kube izindlela zokukhiqiza. amafutha ezempi ezindaweni zezimpi zawo. Kuliqiniso ukuthi amasosha ase-US abe ngumthombo ophambili wezimali weTaliban ingxenye enkulu ngokukhokhela indawo ephephile yezinto zokubasa. Kodwa ithuba lokuqeda izimpi alikaze lishiwo.
Lena iphethini. "Ikhabhoni ebanjiwe ingashintshwa ibe isihlabathi esimanzi ukuze isetshenziswe njengenye indlela yezixhobo zamakhorali ukuze kondliwe amabhishi ezindaweni ezikude njengendawo yokuhlola imicibisholo yase-Kwajalein Atoll." Kepha enye indlela yokungacekeli iziqhingi ukuhlola imicibisholo ayikaze icatshangelwe.
“UMnyango Wezokuvikela (DOD) ugcina izikhungo ezilinganiselwa ku-585,000 ezitholakala ezindaweni ezingama-4,775 emhlabeni jikelele. Impahla yangempela ye-DOD ibiza ngaphezu kuka-$1.2 trillion futhi ibalulekile ekuvikelekeni kwezwe laseMelika.” Yebo “okubucayi” akucacisi umthelela omuhle noma omubi ekuvikelekeni kwabantu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, lesi sitatimende sicace bha, futhi kuzobonakala kucacile okufanele kwenziwe: ukubuyisela abantu umhlaba wabo. Esikhundleni salokho, lesi sitatimende esikulo mbiko sikhahlela ingxenye ende mayelana nosongo lokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kuzisulu zayo zangempela: abahleli bempi.
Phela, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu akulona usongo olunzima kangangokuthi uhulumeni wase-US kufanele ahlukane nokukhiqiza izitha ngokuhlaba abantu ukuze anikele ngezinsiza esikhundleni sokuvikela imvelo. Ngokuphambene nalokho, ukuwohloka kwesimo sezulu kuwusongo lwezempi oluthethelela impi enomthelela kukho kanye nezinsiza ze-syphons kude nokubhekana nakho. Umbiko uyasitshela:
“Amazwe asathuthuka awakulungele ikakhulukazi ukubhekana nomthelela wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu. Izingqinamba eziba umphumela wokusiza abantu kanye nababaleki, uma zinganqandwa, zingaba izinsongo zokuphepha kuzwelonke.” Isixazululo: “Idinga uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwezwe kanye ne-FEMA Ukuhlelela Izingozi Zesimo Sezulu.”
Izimpendulo ze-4
ububi uqobo lwayo wububi futhi ngiyabuthola!
Ngokujulile? Lolu wuhlelo “olungcono kakhulu” lokulawula isimo sezulu? Obani abahlakaniphile abacabanga kanjalo? SICELA, usinikeze amagama, ukuze sikwazi ukubashayela futhi sibabhalele, ngokuqondile. Ngiphethwe yisisu ngemuva kokufunda leli cebo.
Sicela uchofoze isixhumanisi ukuze ufunde umbiko oqala ngamagama ababhali bawo, ngiyabonga.
Konke okungachazwa ngokubheka okukodwa okulula: Akunakwenzeka ukulwa, ingasaphathwa eyokunqoba, impi yesimanje evamile (aka “amandla ephrojekthi”) ngaphandle kokufinyelela okungenamkhawulo kumafutha ashibhile futhi amaningi asekelwe kuwoyela. Ama-bio/synfuels awasoze ashibhile futhi abe inala ngokwanele esikalini, futhi alukho olunye uhlobo lwamandla agciniwe olunanoma yikuphi eduze kwesilinganiso samandla nesisindo samafutha avuthayo. Amasosha akwazi kahle lokhu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho ngisho nesabelomali sePentagon akwanele ukukhokhela ukutholakala, ukukhishwa kanye nokucwengisiswa kwamafutha ezinsalela ngesilinganiso esidingekayo ukuze awenze ashibhile futhi abe yinsada; ngalokho, idinga sonke ukuthi singene ngokusebenzisa ama-oodles wamafutha anjalo ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke. Ngenxa yalokho, akukho nhlangano kule planethi efile kakhulu ngokumelene nokususa ingqalasizinda yethu yamandla kunebutho lase-US, futhi amaDemocrats ahambisana nje nalokho okudingwa amasosha njengoba enza njalo.
Okokugcina, kusobala ukuthi noma iyiphi impi enzima ingahamba ngezikhali zenuzi ngokushesha, ngakho-ke impi evamile ayihlanganise lutho “nokuphepha kwezwe” kwezakhamuzi zase-USA, okuqondwa njengokuphepha ekuhlaselweni izitha zakwamanye amazwe. Kudingeka kuphela ukuze kugcinwe i-petrodollar, i-US hegemony, kanye nokulawulwa komnotho womhlaba ngabahlomuli bayo abakhulu (kokubili e-US nakwezinye izindawo). Le racket yokuvikela umhlaba wonke (njengoba ingase ichazwe kafushane) yayiyingqondo ka-Henry Kissinger.
Ngeke sikuqede ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu ngaphambi kokuthi siqede lesi sikhathi sokuvikela umhlaba wonke. Ukuze uthole ukulandisa okuningiliziwe kokuthi sifike kanjani kulesi sikhathi esibi, bheka i-opus ka-Matthieu Auzanneau ethi “Amafutha, Amandla Nempi: Umlando Omnyama.”
