Construction of Thirty Meter Telescope delayed at least 2 years

By Timothy Hurley “The UH has shown itself to be a bad manager of these important lands for over 50 years and their master plan for the future of Mauna Kea validates the fact that UH has not been listening nor do they care about the harm further development on the summits will do to the Kanaka Maoli people and to those who love and protect this mountain,” organizers said in a news release…

“This Huge Telescope could lead us to alien life, first it has to get off the ground”

“Hawaii’s state constitution requires all land originally belonging to the monarchy be held in a public trust and used to benefit native Hawaiians. That includes Mauna Kea, the islands’ tallest landmark. In the Native Hawaiian tradition, the mountain is considered the dwelling place of the Hawaiian deities. Altars and burial sites can be found on Mauna Kea, and it’s still used for traditional…

In wake of arrests, TMT protesters pledge to stand their ground

“As one person in the tent was arrested, however, they were being replaced by someone else.”

“We’re kupuna fighting for our families,” said Ranette Robinson, one of those arrested.

“We came to protect our sacred land,” another protester said. “There’s not much more we have left.”

Thirty-four people were arrested on day three of the TMT protest.

To all kiai: Stand where you are. Educate and Activate. Mahalo to all who sacrifice however they can to stand in the righteous truth: our life necessities in a island ecology 2,700 miles away from the next spot of land is not expendable nor for anyone to exploit these or support its irreversible pollution in anyway is unconscionable. If you cannot stand at Puu Huluhulu, stand where you are- educate and activate. Prayers are prophecies we make into sound, word, and manifests as power. Go@ to sacredmaunakea.wordpress.com to catchup to the Supreme Court decision and rememeber, the SC once upheld slavery and second class citizenry for women. We must not fail to continue to stand because it is the right thing to do! Kiai we love you!

“And the Mauna is safe one more day...” If you cannot be at the Mauna to help block the reality that is the TMT pioneering-mentality era atrocity, exploiting and circumventing laws to protect the well being of our sacred living necessities of water and food production and maintaining insidious and grotesque violations of the DLNR’s mandates to protect Hawaii’s natural resources for the renewable sustainability of all Hawaii, then you can send your prayers and spirit and make efforts from where you are. Whether that is across the sea in foreign places, within the law making and enforcing entities of the entities that allow this perversion of law through bureaucratic and other means that can be fixed- maybe you are part of a private entity or corporation that can influence the moral good, a parent able to network other parents who have taken on the greatest job of all, raising the next generation, or a single person with the time to raise awareness and secure positive support for what is right... Stand where you are. As tall and big as the Mauna is wide, standing where you are, kiai, is a kuleana and responsibility profound. Remember the Supreme Court once upheld for many generations subjugating ideals that women were second class citizens and that slavery and sub-human bondage itself were legal. So it takes you to do the right thing and not stop until the righteous right to human life and the ability to sustain human life is secured beyond reproach. All life and its renewable sustainability is sacred. #sacredmaunakeahui #sacredmaunakeahuithankyous #aoletmt #tmtshutdown #kukiaimauna #protectmaunakea #maunakeaobservatory #wearemaunakea #maunakeasummit #maunakeasummitadventures #maunakeaprotectors #kūkiaimauna #seeyouonthemauna (at Mauna Kea Summit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BmBTGhN0A/?igshid=doryqjwl3nqe

#SacredMakua Sustainability is life and death in one of the most remote specs of land on this great earth. It IS the last clean fish and last clean drop of fresh water for 2700 miles of open sea. It is also@a fact that the diaspora is due to the contrived fictional costs of living that forces archaic laws like the Jones act upon kanaka and Hawaii jacking up the extortionate price of all imports to a price 100% higher than necessary, including the contrived dependency on imported food with 90% of all our food ridden with preservatives, with relocated cancer-causing DU upwind as well as Tumor causing naval antennae at Lualualei-both environmental poisons shipped 2700 miles across open sea because the IS occupiers refuse to have DU within killong@distance, want it in OUR back yard situated exactly in the direct location of the largest population of so-called “Hawaiians” (Hawaiian aka the subjugated, kidnapped and oppressed, first-peoples of Hawaii who were and are conditioned by unlawful military occupiers to believe the lie that kanaka don’t know who they are. Subsequently kanaka are “erasure-brainwashed,” by strategic exterminatory premeditated, and the ongoing unlawful occupation’s government-enforced apartheid. Its “blood quantum” is a fiction and a farce of ethnic self-identity. Did I mention the artificially inflated real-estate market propped up by the unlawful invading military’s individual rental voucher averaging $3000 dollars a month and not related to the poverty stricken income of the average Hawaii citizen. The lawmakers remain as actors feigning no agency as they allow this depravation and can stop it. Hawai`i remains under constant genocide and we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by laying our already poisoned bodies down to save our children. ARE YOU READY? We fight to the death for life. Makua is the only food producing lands able to sustain the largest district and population of kanaka left alive. And the rest pf Hawaii will suffer if we do not save all of our subsistence from here forward. Ku kiai! Aohe hope a inu i ka wai awaawa ai ka lei a aka lanakila EOLA! Take action now OR murder is the immediate present. NOTHING IS MORE URGENT! (at Waianae, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFbfGpB_7h/?igshid=znfma7y90j3g
