Below is a brief report on the public hearing held Jan. 11th at Hilo Intermediate School cafeteria on plans for military expansion at Pohakuloa. The plans call for new live-fire ranges and training, and construction activities, at Pohakuloa, as well as high altitude helicopter flights and landings on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in training for Afghanistan/Pakistan high altitude mountainous warfare.
The first hour and a half was taken up with open house science fair type displays by military people who knew very little about the history of militarism in Hawaii and couldnt answer many questions asked. But the public testimony portion on Pohakuloa was powerful.
The public hearing portion started with Kumu Paul Neves and his Ohana/halau doing chants and then Paul led a Pule. Lots of young Hawaiians testified both in their native tongue and English. They spoke eloquently against the military desecration of the sacred mountains and aina. Other Hawaiians and people of all ages, testified as well. The testimony went for 2 hours. Not one person spoke in support of the military expansion plans. The PTA new commander and the Army Garrison commander from Oahu sat stone-faced throughout the 2 hours of public testimony

It almost seems they are tripping over themselves to surrender the issues to the moonbats .
Don’t they realize that every concession makes the moonbats even more empowered to resist everything and anything that will ever come up int eh future ?
Hawaii needs it’s own General Petraeus . Not Col. Walter Mitty’s
Hawaii is Moonbat central.
Just idle musing, but I wonder how things would go for the Loonies if things had worked out differently after that last military attack on their little island.
I have a feeling Tojo and his assistant Shoguns would not sit for two minutes, let alone two hours listening to this drivel.
..... the other possibility is that the Army officers were under orders not to make waves.
You never know - especially with this administration.
Okay. Don’t expand it. Instead shut the whole thing down along with the jobs for the locals.
OK, boys and girls, can YOU spell “base closure”?

No? How about “unemployed”?
.

.
.
Uh-uh? Perhaps “poverty level”?

I didn’t think so.

yea, they seem to wash in on an ill tide
I keep waiting for the tide to wash them all back out again .
Useless scum . The latest wave is composed of white dreadlocked former Humboldt dope growers . One can imagine what their line of work will turn out to be .
You can ID them by their ‘ US out of Humboldt “ bumper stickers . And the cops don’t even notice , or have a clue what they are all about .
Do they still hang out along the seawall looking like they are in the twilite zone?
