This is likely something that will continue to come up as the telescope corporation tries to get its equipment up the Mauna. I just noticed this and felt the desire to post it. OHA = Office of Hawaiian Affairs, which … Continue reading
I have not been posting anything regarding the Mauna Kea situation, but basically, the state and committees have pushed through this affair for the last several months, and the TMT corporation was eventually given the okay to begin construction on … Continue reading
This was where I was moved to stop to do some kind of ceremony. I wasn’t sure where it was going to be, then suddenly it “showed up”. Not all way up to Mauna Kea, not even to Pu’u Huluhulu, … Continue reading
I’ve been watching a few of these in the last couple days, and felt the desire to place them here for others to get a flavor for what is happening regarding the TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope) situation. Here is a … Continue reading
This is self-explanatory, as described below. Lanny Sinkin is representing the Temple of Lono, and as I understand it, is trying to demonstrate that the Hawaiian faith is still practiced on the islands, and is as valid as all other … Continue reading
I’ve not posted much about the Mauna Kea TMT business since the construction permit was voided by the Hawaii Supreme Court, but there has been activity. A contested case hearing was arranged, a mediator “judge” (retired judge) with ties to … Continue reading
This is very interesting, in my view, for two different reasons. First off, this is just what many who support the sacredness of Mauna a Wākea would want… TMT looking for another location for its 18-story telescope. The other part … Continue reading
[youtube=https://youtu.be/AfFojBThxII&w=550] https://youtu.be/AfFojBThxII I felt this wanted to be posted, primarily because the messages I heard from Hawaiian homelands beneficiaries at 1:08 (the lady) and 1:16 (Iokepa and LaKea, two of the Mauna Kea protectors) were very inspiring, to me. To … Continue reading
This was quite positive news for those who stood up for Mauna a Wākea the past year. In my view, no one should be “arrested” for standing up for their homeland, and the places they consider sacred. There are efforts … Continue reading
[youtube=https://youtu.be/dtVF-OUkTqo] https://youtu.be/dtVF-OUkTqo I felt this should be posted for all to view, and learn more about this beautiful Protector of Mauna a Wākea. I’ve had the joy of meeting and being with Pua and many of the Protectors. She speaks … Continue reading
To me, this points to the planetary importance of Mauna A Wākea and reasons for protecting her from desecration. Found this on FB, here. As I read this, Te is from a Maori region of the world (New Zealand?). I … Continue reading
Relating to the prior post, the King has written this letter requesting the county prosecutor to drop all other charges against all protectors. ———————————– Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., 1-9-16… “King’s Letter to Prosecutor Roth… ‘Dismiss the Charges’” … Continue reading
[Kp update: recall that the “‘Aina Mauna” Kaho’okahi talked about (bolded highlights below) is the same region which was connected in the Mauna ‘Ekolu (Three mountain) mission of 11-17-15. Later that same day, the HI Supreme Court ruled the TMT … Continue reading
. [Update 1917 HST: an article in the Tribune Herald just came out about this: TMT… leader found not guilty] Kaho’okahi Kanuha was found “Not Guilty” by the court today for his actions on Mauna a Wākea last year. Well, … Continue reading
This is rather like an overview of victories during 2015. Mauna Kea is also included. Since a photo of Mauna Kea was not included, I place it at upper left. Here is a list of the 15. Justice for the … Continue reading
This was posted on FB so I pass it along (I was unable to find any local news articles about this when I posted this yesterday). Of course, this was anticipated, but no one knew exactly when this would be … Continue reading
[Update 12-16-15 1143 HST: Here is a link to a Hawaii News Now article confirming that the heavy equipment is being removed today.] [Update 2334 HST: Just after posting this, and sharing on the Stand for Mauna a Wākea and … Continue reading
That’s the title on the article. But no one actually said that. I’ll post the text below the comment which I left on the article. There’s a number of things I could point to here, but I’ll just leave my … Continue reading
This article points out the significance (to the entire planet) of what has been occurring on Mauna a Wākea. I’ve probably pointed this out several times before, but I feel this article re-importantizes this point. Found this by being tagged … Continue reading
This was posted on a FB feed, and I felt it appropriate for this time. All I will add is what one commenter wrote, and my reply: Commenter: “Because they see our weak history regarding this kind of thing. The … Continue reading
Synchronicity, anyone? “…the eruption on Mt. Etna volcano occurred just 3-4 hours after the Hawaii Supreme Court decision about protecting Mauna Kea volcano” I feel this eruption, which reportedly occurred 12-3-15 (Sicily Time) is connected, intimately, with what occurred here, … Continue reading
[youtube=https://youtu.be/MsE4pGLytDw&w=550] https://youtu.be/MsE4pGLytDw These were produced and posted by Mark Miller. Excellent video quality (be sure to set to Hi Def), and really chronologues well the earlier months of the Mauna Kea protectors. Beautifully done. Posted in May, 2015, so it … Continue reading
[youtube=https://youtu.be/6w_7G-VwEzw&w=550] https://youtu.be/6w_7G-VwEzw This is an excellent summary video, in my view, of the whole picture of “Protection of Mauna a Wākea” through the last few years. This shows three of the very important people involved with the protectors. Excellent professional … Continue reading
. This one’s definitely a celebration post!! (via Nancy Munroe FB)
This is quite BIG news. Although I do not know the next possible steps, I have been told by a couple of informants that this means the TMT corporation would have to start the full permit process over. However, this … Continue reading
A letter of gratitude for all those who have worked for the protection and freedom of Mauna a Wākea. [Note: “Lāhui” means “people of the nation”.] ———————————– Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., 11-19-15… “King’s Letter of Gratitude to … Continue reading
This was written and posted prior to the Tuesday (11-17-15) ruling by the Supreme Court to temporarily halt TMT construction. ———————————– Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., 11-13-15… “King’s Letter to Governor Ige, Avoiding Confrontation” Ali`i Mana`o Nui Lanny … Continue reading
This, I would surmise, is in part an effort to make “the state” look good, and to appear to be a “good steward ” of the land, and the Mauna. In my view, they are grasping at whatever they can … Continue reading
[Here is another article about this.] This is amazing! I had just returned home, and soon after, this came in, emailed to me by Lanny Sinkin. I know many people have been working toward something like this, but the synchronicity … Continue reading
