A 1968 report written by UH agronomists document that Agents Pink and Purple were also used on Kauai. I will do some research on what these are later. Also, the report states that these chemicals were mixed together. In one study I read on Agent White, the chemcals did not produce death in sheep individually, but when combined the sheep died. We were all guinea pigs. They had no idea what they were producing or what the health effects were gong to be.
I found the Hawaii Department of Health annual reports. The Agricultural Station on Kauai is still active as of 2010. Barrels were still being excavated after 2002. How is this possible? Dioxin causes serious, sometimes fatal health problems in as little as .25 part per TRILLION. (That is twenty five hundredths.) That is like one drop of water in 20 olympic size swimming pools. That is like 3 seconds out of every 100,000 years. IT IS ALMOST NOTHING. Yet the cleanup at the Wailua Reservoir is ungoing and it is right next to Wailua Homesteads.
WHY ARE THE WATERS WELLS IN WAILUA HOMESTEADS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR TOXINS??? It is all very vague, but the investigation is ongoing. Some of the chemicals dumped all over up there have an extremely slow dispersal rate. Dioxin goes straight into the fat cells and stays there until things start moving. It's like continuous poisoning.
Kaohi, do you look at the CERCLA investigations and reports on toxic waste? I just found long lists with photos of the spills, etc. I have not had time to go back and check to see if the dump by your home is there.
Do you know what the birth defects and cancer rates are for Wailua? It looks to me like the guinea pig effect is still happening there and no one is questioning it. I have not seen one report on illness in the population. Of course, the children won't start getting sick for 20 years. They are much more susceptible because their weight to exposure ratio is different than adults. Also, developing organs are much more susceptible. These are hormonal chemicals that cause severe endocrine disruption and DNA damage.

We once had the best of the best when it came to 'true' environmentalist, however that has changed. The ones that chose to live here sold out in the 70s or just parted from the group and created their own ‘cause’ or left the island. If one feels betrayed—it is true and a waste of energy to try and ask the thousand questions as to why they consciously do the ‘devils work’ between good and evil.
There are several persons that are used as scapegoats (idiot fools) that have been given the candle light from hell with rainbow colors even. What I mean non-ethno.
The diverse relationship seems Na Kanaka versus Haole, or outsiders versus aboriginal, but in my mind it’s the old civil war antics that seem to match the dichotomy far truer understanding. In other words, we have mean spirited general like with two legs instead of gods and goddesses in the works.
It was so appalling to me to listen to three hours of presentations from outsiders: capitalist procurement, Army core of Engineers, Heath Risk, Statisticians, Cultural Designers, Marine and Coral Experts Spatial Planners, Chemist Scientist. These outsiders were connected to Washington D.C. (Pentagon) through their live-feed. The scapegoats sat on their duff because either they were cowards or just didn’t know what they were listening to; maybe it’s my ego talking. So I ceased the opportunity and asked as many questions that I could. I’ve had ten years of confronting these military people over depleted uranium and I deserved the opportunity to ask questions. The locals were disturbed and I knew that they would—jerks.
The presentation was almost intimidating. There was ten different dense topics covered, one that I am used to because I use to attend conferences on terrorism for almost three years prior to 911 across the nation—when it was only a tootsie roll candy in the minds of Hawaii and it’s officials. So, this night was no different. Keep in mind during these conferences that I had attended the ‘questions and half as answers’ happened after the presentations. Each presenter had fifteen minutes and after it was over there was a product show. So I was used to the meeting that was held in Nanakuli recently.
After, I was slammed with their reaching out for a relationship, but for their own gains and objective.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission was absent. I later realized that this community hearing was being held in the community for various reasons, but mostly to support the military lawyers in their arguments with the NRC lawyers. Nuclear Proliferation is being drafted right here in Waianae and Wahiawa Schofield. It would be interesting to note that Hillary and the gang are working on an Ocean Hoppers, or bunker type Marine Spatial Planning environment. Something that a hobbyist would do in their spare time.
The dominate power are in the hands of a few and the violence continues. We think in ‘robotocisim’ not in biology or human rights. During the ‘niaupio’ period we were a highly sophisticated people in Hawaii, until Kamehameha I went to Boston and came back as a US trained dog. If you were intelligent like Henry Opukaha’ia then you died in Boston never to return.
Henry’s Iwi was returned to Hawaii recently.
