Native Hawaiian women with 50% plus bloodquantum has a spiritual bonding with their children. Similar to military mothers and their children on military bases. But yes, we have more similarities that has yet to be discovered. Three generations, I speak from experience of the World War II, Vietnam War as well as the Iraq war. The first being the martial law, the second May 13, 1968, and the third military base in Alaska. I can't help but quote ""How ironic that a people on the dark side of modernity--dishonored, devalued and dehumanized by the practices of modern Europeans and Americans--created the fundamental music of American modernity." said, Cornel West.
I must have sang "Deep and Wide" everyday of my life especially in Sunday School at my grandparents church "Gospel of Salvation" on Houghtelling in Kalihi. But, I never really gave it a thought except to say that war never wins, but to degrade. It blows up families, communities and many generations of newborn children. The Lulu Bell Club hugs there hate and splinters collaboration among families in three folds. Maoliworld, DHHL, and the first OHA voting roll are all three places that the masters of Lulu Bell brazenly confuse the 'simplistic' minds of our young.
When we are facing serious issues of high end militarism and are often cruely intercepted by wanna bees of the 'windmill' club. These Anglo thinkers and chipmunk statuettes’ are brazenly skewing the critical issues with whimsical airless verbiage--tactically.

No More Bulldozers on Mauna Kea
The construction permit for the massive Thirty Meter Telescope complex will be considered by the Board of Land and Natural Resources on Friday, February 25, 2011.
The TMT Corporation and the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents are proposing to build a new massive, 18-story telescope, 21,000 square foot office building, road, and parking lot on undeveloped land on Mauna Kea’s summit, called the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT).
Mauna Kea is unique in the world, a place of deep significance in the Hawaiian worldview, and home to rare Hawaiian plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet. Mauna Kea was honored among the sacred places of the world in a National Geographic (January 2011) Special Edition titled, “The Earth’s Holiest Places: Sacred Journeys.”
The TMT needs a construction permit approved by the Hawai‘i Board of Land and Natural Resources (Land Board) before any bulldozers can be sent up the mountain.
We think there is a real chance this permit could be denied, but we also know there is a lot of pressure from developers to approve it. This is the last major permit developers need to begin construction on this 18-story, 8-acre development.
Join hundreds of people from around the islands! Urge the Land Board Members to reject this permit application, and take true, strong steps to protect the future of Mauna Kea. Submit your testimony today! Your voice matters, especially when it is in your own words -- if can, please take a minute to write a few sentences to make your testimony unique and the more effective. Thanks!
March 3, 1991, I was attending college in California. A classmate of mine worked for the LAPD, and he was discussing an incident with other students. Weeks later, my Professor Joseph Beaton had his students armed with cameras, clip boards, and a list of places to observe on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. I spent the next two months each weekend doing drive by look-see, data collecting, and using bigotry judgments (which I had none) coming from Hawaii.
At the end of that semester however, my innocence was lost, I learned social bigotry while doing a ‘riot participation assessment.’ I got a ‘C’ for the course which I didn’t care. I got the university credit but left the average grade in California where it belongs.
Taking a drive up San Gabriel Mountains near Pasadena to visit Mount Wilson was a breakaway from something I knew nothing about was a blessing. Attracted to space and its wonders of infinity, I was sitting in the pavilion and enjoying watching a humming bird at a feeder. I remember this sense much more than the Hooker telescope built in 1908.
Intrigued with Jet Propulsion Laboratory, I took a picture of myself standing near the building.
Most of my Geography courses had to do with infrared observations. It almost seemed that I was an alien from Mars with a gloss for red viewing. The Huntington Library was fascinating to me because it made available to scholars 3,000 photographic negatives of the Dead Sea Scrolls for scholarly usage in September of 1991.
The point is that the Lulu Bell Club interceptes collaboratively work with the military and the modernity of these cultural actions are not only surreal but are strongly in the faces of Native Hawaiian women with 50% plus bloodquantum. In my opinion purely negligible to human rights in Hawaii.

A lack of respect for native Hawaiian women and their children explains the whim for permits, if this was for science and concern for humanity I would welcome the observation, however, this is not the case.
The permit is to build an infrared hopper for military defense to commit crime in a 360 degree in the Pacific Ocean.
This is so looney and negligible, however, what do women in the Pacific have to protect their children and themselves from misuse and abuse of scientific researchers in clandestine on the Mauna Kea. Not open to visitors, and universities as copartners with other universities brings much to question.
SOFIA Seeks Secrets of Planetary Birth

November 19, 2009: You don't always have to have a rocket to do rocket science. Sometimes a mere airplane will do – that is, a mere Boeing 747 toting a 17-ton, 9-foot wide telescope named SOFIA.

"SOFIA is set to achieve some spectacular science," says project scientist Pamela Marcum. "For instance, this telescope will help us figure out how planets form and how our own solar system came to be."
And as a mobile observatory, it can fly anywhere, anytime. SOFIA can move into position to capture especially interesting astronomical events such as stellar occultations (when celestial objects cross in front of background stars), while ground-based telescopes fastened to the "wrong" geographic locations on Earth's surface miss the show. SOFIA will fly above the veil of water vapor1 that surrounds Earth to take a wide-eyed look at the cosmos.

Although our galaxy teems with planetary systems, astronomers don't know exactly how they form. That's because ordinary telescopes can't see through the giant, dense clouds of gas and dust that spawn planets. Using infrared wavelengths, SOFIA can pierce the haze and watch the birthing process – showing scientists how molecules come together to construct worlds.
"SOFIA will be able to locate the 'planetary snowline,' where water vapor turns to ice in the disk of dust and gas around young stars," says Marcum. "That's important because we think that's where gas giants are born. The most massive planetary cores are fashioned [around the snowline] because conditions are best for rock and ice to build up." (Sticky ice particles help form planets just as they help you make a snowball to hurl at an unsuspecting friend.)
"Once a large enough core forms, its gravity becomes strong enough to hold on to gas so more hydrogen and helium molecules can 'stick.' Then these large cores can grow into gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Otherwise, they remain as smaller rock-ice planets."
"SOFIA will also be able to pinpoint where basic building blocks like oxygen, methane, and carbon dioxide2 are located within the protoplanetary disk."
Knowing where various substances are located in the disk will cast light on how they come together, from the "ground" up, to form planets.
One of the telescope's key strengths is its ability to complement other infrared observatories. With a 20-year lifetime, it can do follow up studies on objects shorter-lived infrared scopes don't have time to hone in on. If, for example, an orbiting observatory like WISE spots something deserving of more attention, SOFIA can move in for a long, slow look, while WISE continues gazing at the rest of the sky.
(Note: For more information about WISE, check out the recent Science@NASA story "In Search of Dark Asteroids and Other Sneaky Things.")
"WISE is designed to scan the entire sky at infrared wavelengths, gathering survey data for multitudes of objects rather than studying targeted objects in great depth," explains Marcum. "But SOFIA has time to spare for deeper studies."
Below: To illustrate how infrared sensors can see things the human eye cannot, Marcum offers these white light vs. IR images of a warm-blooded dog and a cold-blooded lizard. [larger image]
SOFIA can also do follow-up science to reap the full benefits of discoveries from Herschel's deep spatial surveys, and later, the James Webb Space Telescope's near- to mid-infrared investigations.
"Once Herschel runs out of its 3-year supply of coolant, SOFIA will be the only observatory routinely providing coverage within the far-infrared to submillimeter wavelength range. This part of the spectrum is largely unexplored territory."
"And although SOFIA covers the same part of the spectrum James Webb (JWST) covers, SOFIA is optimized for wavelengths just beyond JWST to complement its observations. SOFIA will do a bang-up job observing between the JWST and Herschel wavelength gap."
Unlike these space-based scopes, SOFIA can "head back to the barn" periodically for instruments to be repaired, adjusted, or even swapped out for new and improved science instruments – keeping pace with cutting edge science from a "mere" airplane.

One needs to cut deeper to understand the collaborative efforts of the women that lives in a community of Hawaiians. Women that are 50% plus bloodquantum raising their children under the usurious American funding of military 'righteousness' lends to a death and dying community.
Helping the Anglo military to bank roll native Hawaiian women are disasterous to ones soul. And I am not talking just about money--it is our spirituality, our 2,000 year old culture, and our new borns that are in jeopardy.
Give it some thought before one attacks women and children on DHHL. Strike the real evil not women and children. If that is the case prepare for the drop into the abyss, a game I know only too well. The corporation are merciless in all indigenious communities--the first people.
