Jam the meeting! Bring signs. Please come out to tell the Army that the only future plans it should be discussing for Makua is to clean up and get out.

If can get the military out, it's all over. I had a dream that the military laid their weapons down. It was a sort of waking up globally. Wouldn't that be beautiful? In my dreams? aloha
Why is it that the Marshall Islanders of Micronesia have been forced to relocate to Hawai'i? Why have Inouye and the U.S. military invited and courted the Indonesian Military to come to the islands. Why is it that RIMPAC holds its international exercises in Hawaii territory? Why did they first deny usage of DU and now when caught downplays its deadly effects on us in Hawaii and insist on continuing its usage near the island residents with indifference? Why is the U.S. still in our country and violating the laws of occupation, as well as, ignoring our neutrality status? Catering to the U.S. hegemony is no excuse for their presence here in Hawai'i. This racist WASP country must de-occupy our peaceful nation-state of which it has worn out its welcome since its perverted missionaries arrived in 1820 to promote its racist WASP Manifest Destiny on us. This is our land NOT theirs! Who died, went to heaven, and called them GOD? Lucifer was the most beautiful of God's creation; yet He cast him out of heaven because he thought he was more god than God. Evidently, the racist WASP of the U.S.A. never learned that lesson and neither did the Jews with their Golden Calf.
As much as we love many U.S. Americans; the U.S.A. has to de-occupy Hawai'i of which we love as much as they love their country. Why does the U.S. persist in making a mockery of democracy, freedoms, and justice?

Also at a cost of about $550,000 for a single family home or $300,000 for a condo most Hawaiians whom I know CANNOT come back home. Not at $11 or $12 an hour which isn't enough for rent or even food in Hawai'i. For example a pound of poi has surpassed $5. Most Hawaiians whom I know do not have access to a lo'i ai. While I can cash out my equity and move back home MANY have no equity to cash out and I do not blame them.
That is EXACTLY what the hired mentalists want Hawaiians to do is to blame innocent Hawaiians instead of holding those responsible accountable. Better yet it stresses some Hawaiians out.
It's very difficult for some Hawaiians to survive. The last thing they need is more stress because stress has been shown to kill. Hired mentalists know this. Of course I can see where blaming the U.S. has gotten us. It is fracturing the Hawaiian community because there has been NO common ground. If people want to be judgmental about other Hawaiians and their relationship with God or with America then look at where WE are now. Worse than in 1978 and it will get MUCH worse if this blame game continues. $550,000 for a single family home or $300,000 for a condo now double that in 10 or so years which is NOT helping.
Our elders are dying. We are going to be left ALL ALONE when elders pass away.
I don't know how Tricia can tell those people are Hawaiians. Going by phenotype is so not a good idea. My best friend looks Haole with very light eyes and light skin and he is from Kauai but he is oiwi. Unfortunately some Hawaiians are mean to him because he doesn't "look" Hawaiian and some people don't know that he is Hawaiian so are mean to him but I know some of his mo'okuauhau. I KNOW that he is Hawaiian. Conversely how can people like Tricia tell who is Hawaiian by their phenotype? Or what they are wearing.
What exactly are some people fighting for?
1. They want the U.S. out... but they accept money from the U.S (welfare, social security, disability, etc.)
2. They want the military to de-occupy... but they don't want to die.
3. They protest but when some Hawaiians are unable to protest because they have to work in order to survive the latter is criticized for surviving thus helping their keiki to survive.
What do some people WANT?
I count on NO ONE but Ke Akua, my kupuna, my ohana, and my hoaaloha for this reason because as far as I am concerned some people are SO quick to condemn... yet slow to HELP and/or do not help AT ALL. In fact they make it MUCH worse by stressing other Hawaiians out which will kill them.
Stressing out other Hawaiians is NOT helping. It is making things MUCH worse on their health and they WILL die from stress leaving us younger generations ALONE when our elders die. Not you... but I wish some people would stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about how it affects others.
The U.S. military kills. So does stress.
E malama pono.
