Gov. Ige and Mayor Kim’s proposal for Mauna Kea Peace Park

Saturday, October 28th, 2017

You cannot bomb and desecrate your way to peace.  Speak out in support of Stopping the bombing of Pohakuloa and demand the military clean up its mess of unexploded ordnance and toxic stew of contamination, including Depleted Uranium Radiation.  Respect Mauna a Wakea  — the Hawaiian Sacred Temple by not building the proposed $1.4 billion dollar Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), the 14th telescope on Mauna a Wakea then we can begin dialog about a Peace Park possibly at the present Mauna Kea County Park or the 9000 foot visitors area.  A Peace Park must be built on a foundation of justice and respect for the Sacred.

Stop Bombing Hawaii!

Protect Pohakuloa By Ruth Aloua

I’m rising to my commitment

To speaking my truth
I’m not the type to cower
I’ll rise to my power
I’ll be transparent

My position is peace
It’s what my heart speaks

Even though I don’t hear the bombs drop
My heart still stops
At the sound of that terror
This must be an error

Peace is what they preach
But not what they teach
They swear to protect us
Yet still suppress us

People and power
Have become their
Moving targets

If you’ve heard that sound and
Felt that shake

You’ll know what it means
To have your heart drop

With the click of one tock
Those numbing emotions

Bodiless movements
That capture you in one moment

Your unwanted presence
Is not a secret
The tactics
You use to
Displace us
Erase us
Break us

Can’t conquer the
Love that
Flows through our
Veins
That unifies our people
That gives us the ability
To see clearly
Through this harsh reality
That’s painted with
False illusions that

Violence is needed in the pursuit of justice
Pain is necessary to knowing love
War is a part of our humanity

We deserve better
And so do our lands
Including our hearts
Its my demand

You don’t have to agree
It’s my truth, you see

Trump Threatening War with Iran and North Korea

Tuesday, October 17th, 2017

Iran Wants War!

Look how close they put their country to our U.S. Military bases.

Trump is threatening war with both North Korea and Iran, and his puppet master isn’t Russian President Putin but rather U.S. Neocons and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, says investigative reporter, Robert Parry and others.
