Ukuphawula ku-United National Antiwar Coalition e-Richmond, eVirginia, ngoJuni 17, 2017
Uzwile ngoTrump ebiza imeya yaseTangier Island eChesapeake Bay futhi emtshela ukuthi, ngokuphambene nakho konke ukubonakala, isiqhingi sakhe hhayi liyacwila? Ngifuna ukugxila entweni eyodwa yale ndaba, okungukuthi umfana wayekholelwa kulokho akutshelwa, kunalokho akubonayo.
Uzwile ngoNobhala Wezempi uMatis etshela iCongress ukuthi ngonyaka we-16 ilandelana uzokhiqiza uhlelo "lokunqoba" impi e-Afghanistan? ICongress ibikukholelwa noma ikhokhwe ukwenza sengathi iyakukholelwa. Amalungu eCongress uJones noGaramendi banomthethosivivinywa wokukhipha lesi senzo esingapheli sokubulalana kwabantu abaningi. Sidinga inhlangano engakwazi ukuvala ngokungenabudlova amahhovisi e-Congressional baze benze kanjalo.
Sinezimashi emadolobheni ahlukahlukene kule mpelasonto yokuvimbela amabhomu enuzi, kanye nezingxoxo eziqhubekayo ku-UN ukuze kwakhiwe isivumelwano esenza lokho. Lapho amazwe amaningi emhlabeni esevimbele amabhomu enuzi, i-US izochaza ukuthi, njengokuvinjelwa okuphumelelayo kwezibhamu, ukuvimbela izikhali akunakwenzeka ngokwenyama. Amehlo akho ayakukhohlisa. Iphesenti elikhulu lalelo phesenti elincane labantu bakuleli abangezwa nhlobo ngalolu daba bayokukholwa abakutshelwayo.
Ngisho nabaningi bayokukholelwa abangakutshelwanga. Abaningi abanendaba nokumelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, bayiziba ngokuphelele ingozi ekhulayo ye-apocalypse yenuzi, ngoba abayizwa ngakho - abanye abantu baze bafike bafune ngokungafanele ubutha obukhulu phakathi kohulumeni wase-US nowaseRussia. Yini engase yonakale?
Sidinga izinguquko ezinqala ohlelweni lwethu lwezemfundo ezedlula ukuqeda izivivinyo ezijwayelekile, amagumbi okufundela anciphayo, nokuqeqeshwa nokukhokhela othisha. Sidinga izifundo ezifundiswa kuzo zonke izikole ezifundweni zenguquko yezenhlalo, isenzo esingenalo udlame, kanye namasu asebenzayo okucwenga ukuze kuqashelwe ngempumelelo i-bullshit.
UTrump uthi ukuphatha izikhali eziningi eSaudi Arabia akuphakamisi ukukhathazeka ngamalungelo abantu, kodwa ukuvakashela eCuba ukuyophuza i-mojito ogwini lolwandle, noma ukuvumela imithi yaseCuba ukuthi isindise izimpilo zase-US, imingcele yobugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini. Abanye bathi izikhali zokubulala inqwaba yezempi kufanele zisakazwe ngokufanelekile ezizweni ezibulala iziboshwa zazo zasekhaya ngezindlela zobuntu, njenge-Arkansas. Okwamanje asikwazi ukukhuluma ngezigidi zabantu onqenqemeni lokufa yindlala eYemen, asikwazi ukwakha ukunyakaza ngokumelene nendlala, yazo zonke izinto, ngoba indlala ibangelwa impi futhi impi akufanele ibuzwe.
Ubuwazi ukuthi laphaya eCharlottesville idolobha lakithi livotele ukwehliswa kwesifanekiso sikaRobert E. Lee esabekwa abacwasa ngokwebala ngeminyaka yawo-1920s? Kodwa ngeke sikwazi ukuyehlisa ngoba umthetho wesifunda saseVirginia uyakwenqabela ukwehliswa kwetshe lesikhumbuzo sempi. Lowo ngumthetho, uma kuke kwaba khona owodwa, odinga ukuchithwa kule nhloko-dolobha ye-Confederation - noma okungenani ukuchibiyela ukuze kudinge isikhumbuzo sokuthula esilinganayo saso sonke isikhumbuzo sempi. Cabanga ukuthi lokho kuzokwenzani endaweni yaseRichmond.
Cabanga nje ukuthi bekuzokwenzelani imiphefumulo yethu. Sidinga uvuko lwasemhlabeni noluhlangene. “Isizwe esiqhubeka unyaka nonyaka sisebenzisa imali eningi ekuvikelweni kwezempi kunasezinhlelweni zokufukula umphakathi,” kusho uDkt. King, “lisondela ekufeni ngokomoya.” Futhi “isizwe noma impucuko eqhubeka ikhiqiza amadoda athambile ithenga ukufa kwaso okungokomoya ngohlelo lokukhokha kancane kancane.” Sesikhokhe zonke izitolimende. Sesifinyelele ekufeni komoya. Singene ekuboleni ngokomoya. Ngokushesha sibheke ekuqothulweni kwangempela.
Lapho i-United States ifuna ukuqala impi entsha, isizathu sokuqala siwukuthi elinye ikhasimende langaphambili “lasebenzisa izikhali zamakhemikhali kubantu bakubo,” njengokungathi ukuzisebenzisa kubantu bomunye umuntu kuzolunga, futhi kube sengathi abantu bangaba ngothile. . Lapho i-United States isebenzisa i-phosphorus emhlophe njengesikhali kubantu, kufanele sibaqonde njengabafowethu nodadewethu, abantu bethu. Uhulumeni wethu ungumahluleli izenzo zakhe ngokwamazinga avumela ukuketulwa kwakhe.
Nakhu engikuphakamisayo, njengesiqalo. Amafulegi omhlaba esikhundleni samafulegi ezwe. Siyabonga ngenkonzo yabo kuwo wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza ezinhlelweni zokuthuthukisa umphakathi. Abafulathele balalela amaculo esizwe, izifungo zokwethembeka nabagqugquzeli bempi. Imibukiso yokuthula kuwo wonke amaholidi empi. Izincwadi zokuthula ziyakhuthazwa kuyo yonke imihlangano yesigungu sesikole. Ukukhetha nokundiza kuwo wonke umthengisi wezikhali. Amaphathi wokwamukela bonke abokufika. Ukuhlukaniswa kuzo zonke izikhali. Ukuguqulelwa ezimbonini ezinokuthula. Ukubambisana komhlaba wonke ekudingeni ukuvala zonke izisekelo zakwamanye amazwe. Ukunxusa yonke imeya yase-US ukuthi ivume izinqumo ezimbili eziza ngaphambi kweNgqungquthela YeziMeya zase-US ezitshela iCongress ukuthi ingasusi imali ezidingweni zabantu nezemvelo iye kwezempi kodwa yenze okuphambene. Futhi ukumelana okungenabudlova kwebhizinisi njengenjwayelo kuwo wonke amahhovisi endawo azo zonke izikhulu ezikhethiwe ezingekho noshintsho olukhulu oludingekayo ukuze kuvikelwe ukuthula, iplanethi, nabantu.
Akusho ukuthi lokhu kudinga ukuzimela kwezombusazwe kanye nokukhuthazwa okunezimiso kwenqubomgomo, hhayi ubuntu. Abantu abafanayo abaqola iqembu eliyisisekelo ukuze baqoke oyedwa kwabangenele ukhetho obekumele bahlulwe nguDonald Trump manje sebebhekise kuTrump ngesinye sezinsolo ezingaqhuma ebusweni babo ngenxa yokuntula ubufakazi noma kubo bonke ubuso bethu uhlobo lwempi yenuzi. Khonamanjalo, uTrump unecala ngokusobala lezimpi ezingekho emthethweni, ukuvinjelwa okungekho emthethweni kwabokufika, ukucekela phansi amabomu isimo sezulu ngokungemthetho, ukwenza inzuzo ngokungahambisani nomthethosisekelo wasekhaya nakwamanye amazwe ehhovisi lakhe lomphakathi, kanye nohlu lonke lokuhlanza izingubo zobugebengu kusukela ekuhlaselweni ngokocansi kuya ekusatshisweni kwabavoti.
Abamelene noTrump, abahlakaniphe kakhulu ngesigamu, bathi ungamthwesi icala, ozongena esikhundleni sakhe angaba mubi kakhulu. Ngenhlonipho ngigcina ukuthi lesi sikhundla siyehluleka ukubona okudingekayo noma amandla ethu okukufeza. Okudingekayo wukudala amandla okuthwesa icala, ukukhipha, ukungakhethi, nokunye ukuthwesa icala noma ubani osesikhundleni somphakathi - into esingenayo manje, into okumele sibe nayo kunoma ngubani oza ngemuva kukaTrump noma nini lapho eza ngemuva kukaTrump, kodwa into esinayo manje. singaba nakho kuphela uma sidala.
UNancy Pelosi uthi hlala phansi, uphumule, ngoba uTrump "uzozigxeka." Ngiphakamisa ngenhlonipho ukuthi abantu bangabe besazigxeka kunezimpi, ukuzithiba kwezibhamu, ukuzilungisa kwamaphoyisa, izinhlelo zamandla aziguqule, izikole zizithuthukise, izindlu ezakhayo, noma amaplanethi azivikele. Ukuphela kweqhinga lomqondo oholela kulo wukuzibhubhisa. UKhongolose ngokusobala ngeke uzibuse. Kufanele sibeke intando yethu. Kufanele siqonde okudingekayo futhi sikudale, ngokumelene nemizamo ehlangene yalabo abaphethe. Amandla awavumeli lutho ngaphandle kwesidingo, kusho uFrederick Douglass. Masenze okuthile okudingayo.
