[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
This is from Pua Case, one of the spiritual leaders of the Ku Kia’i Mauna (Mauna Kea protectors). There are potentially “things” that may be going on with the TMT, supposedly on Wednesday. ————————————– Facebook Post We have a call … Continue reading
Some may have an interest in this. At the time of posting, there are 320 signatures. ——————————- Remove the Heavy Equipment from Mauna Kea Summit Update #1, 1 hours ago The State Supreme Court decision about TMT has not occurred … Continue reading
Excellent points made in this letter. My highlights are below. “Anyone who listened to the oral argument before the Hawai’i Supreme Court regarding the challenge to the permit for the Thirty Meter Telescope knows that at least four of the … Continue reading
. So “the poll” said “people in Hawaii love TMT”. Not this FB group comparison. It shows a membership of 18,206 to 751. Definitive? Perhaps not. But no less so than the “paid-for-by-TMT ‘We love TMT’ poll“. No more needs … Continue reading
[Note: The actual document is at the end of the article. Links are here and here.] This “showed up” yesterday, and this results from an announcement by TMT that, in spite of the fact that a Supreme Court decision is … Continue reading
I publish the full text of this one, which is at least a little bit balanced and does not imply that everyone in the islands wants “the tmt”. This also brings out one of the points I noted (in this … Continue reading
TMT apparently paid for a poll to be done by Ward Research (in Honolulu). It had a whole 613 respondents distributed across the islands. I’m posting the text of one article about it, with links to others. And a list … Continue reading
This was not unexpected. But good news for the Mauna Kea protectors. The state has exposed its illegal operations throughout the Mauna Kea affair. We shall see what ovvurs from here on out. ————————————————- Prosecutor: Mauna Kea emergency rule cases … Continue reading
As I wrote in this earlier post, “This is huge”. Ali`i Mana`o Nui Lanny Sinkin points out a few more possibilities about where this ruling should lead. In my view, to paraphrase, “All the state’s horses and all the state’s … Continue reading
In my view, this is huge! Recall the efforts of many people, including Lanny Sinkin (several legal actions, here is one), which have helped bring this correction to pass. It’s a victory for the principle of Kapu Aloha. Here is … Continue reading
As I mentioned in the previous post, I posted the comment below on the article itself, and on FB. My comment: As is typical with many of these mainstream media articles about TMT, several attempts here are made to “blame” … Continue reading
I’m posting this article first, followed by the comment I left on it, in the next post. My view of this article, it is a typical type of MSM message about TMT, where several attempts are made to “blame” the … Continue reading
Here are Lanny Sinkin’s FaceBook remarks on the WHT article in the last post. As usual, Lanny brings a very fact-based, grounded response to this whole “possibly blown out of proportion” WHT media presentation about “threats”, and the “Royal Marshals”. … Continue reading
This appeared in both local Big Island MSM papers, east side (Hilo) and west side (Kona). As often is the case with MSM, the title says “threat”, which from my reading of the documents was not a threat at all. … Continue reading
My highlights are below. Note that the King’s 7-30-15 proposal to Governor Ige for resolution of the Mauna Kea situation is posted here. “The controversy that erupted around the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope on sacred Mauna a Wākea raised profound … Continue reading
This article makes the prediction that the Hawaii Supreme Court Will Rule for Challengers (and against the permit that “allowed” TMT construction). We shall see. As with the Williamson Chang article, this one points out many key features of the … Continue reading
This is one of two articles I noticed yesterday about Mauna a Wākea. All the way from Indiana University (at least that appears to be from where this originates). One reason I post this one is that it appears to … Continue reading
Found this on Facebook, here, and I feel this is a very well written description of what occurred on August 27. Recall these posts, 1, 2, 3, as well as this “lava update” post, where it was very clear to … Continue reading
These were just too great to not post. Lauryn is part of Babes Against Biotech (Facebook page). The cartoons provide a reasonable gist of what has been going on today and yesterday. The best cartoon court reporting I’ve ever seen! … Continue reading
This is the first of three pieces I am putting out regarding this case which is the result of a lawsuit brought against the state regarding DLNR “permitting” of the TMT project. This article gives some details about the case … Continue reading
