George Helm

Protect Pohakuloa! Stop the Bombing!

Gathering at PTA Main Gate

10 AM – Noon

Wed. March 23, 2022

(Carpools leave Hilo 9 AM from Komohana and Saddle Rd.)

      March 23 is the Birthday of George Helm who was a leader of the Protect Kaho’olawe Ohana (PKO). George lost his life in 1977 along with Kimo Mitchell in the movement to Stop the Bombing of Kaho’olawe. The bombing was eventually stopped in 1990 due to the dedication of George, Kimo, and many others of the PKO movement. George, and kupuna of that movement remain an inspiration in our efforts to Stop the Bombing of Pohakuloa.

      Please join us on March 23^rd to honor George and Protect Pohakulo and Stop the Bombing. The Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA), otherwise known as the Pohakuloa Toxic Area, is a 133,000-acre military live-fire range in the center of Hawaii Island that has been bombed for more than 75 years. Pohakuloa is nearly 5 times the size of Kaho’olawe. Millions of live rounds are fired annually at PTA and have involved a wide range of weapons and toxins, including radioactive Depleted Uranium (DU) radiation. When DU metal is hit with high explosives it is turned into DU oxide particles that can be carried long distances in the wind and easily inhaled causing various cancers and other serious health problems.

      Everyone on the Big Island is downhill and downwind from PTA which is at 6500 feet elevation. The land, water, air, people, plants, and animals, including the thousands of troops who train at PTA, are all part of a Military Sacrifice Zone. The bombing must be stopped, the military mess cleaned up, and the land returned to the Hawaiian people. Mahalo to Liam O’Malley of Lanihuli Farm for initiating this action in honor of George Helm.

Forever Aloha Aina!

This week’s Peace leaflet below

Most Dangerous Award

Goes to Donald J. Trump!

– Photo Op Hospital Joy Ride, Maskless Gasping for Air on Return to the White House, Hosting Super-Spreader Covid Events, Voter Suppression efforts, including Vote by Mail legal challenges in many states, etc. etc. But …

BEWARE! Only the Most Desperate and Dangerous would proclaim a State of Emergency and launch nuclear weapons to avoid being declared “A LOSER.”

Trump has immediate access to nuclear launch codes at all times

Among the many drugs Donald Trump is taking for Covid at taxpayers expense is dexamethasone, a steroid that has potential side effects including mental problems such as aggression, agitation, anxiety, and delusions. Here is the link to the Newsweek article that states all the side effects:

The Military Doctors from Walter Reed Hospital are not telling the whole truth about Trump’s condition. It appears far more serious than what’s being said. And what about your Taxes Donald? You appear to be a serial tax-evader!

Stop Trump!  Save Lives!  Vote!  Organize!

1. Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
4. Oppose all discrimination, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, etc.
5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

In my view TMT is finished in Hawaii

View this 8 min video and see what you think.  I was on the Mauna today and witnessed this historic gathering of thousands.

*Stand tall my Hawai’i

Band of warriors of my land

The new dawn for our people of Hawai’i is upon us

For my nation I give my all so that our legacy lives on

Hawai’i Loa, ku like kakou,
(All Hawai’i stand together,)

Hawai’i Loa, ku like kakou,
Ku pa’a me ka lokahi e,
Ku kala me ka wiwo’ole
‘Onipa’a kakou, ‘onipa’a kakou,
A lanakila, na kini e,
E ola, e ola, e ola na kini e

All Hawai’i stand together,
It is now and forever,
To raise our voices,
and hold your banners high,
We shall stand as a nation,
To guide the destiny
of our generation,
To sing and praise
the glory of our land
