Cancel RIMPAC War Games Now & Forever! RIMPAC 2024 includes Israel

RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific) are war games held every 2 years (June 27 to Aug. 1) that have expanded to include 29 nations, including NATO countries and Israel. These so-called “Games” sink ships, harm marine life, involve beach assault landings, and bombing and shelling at Pohakuloa in the center of Hawaii Island. RIMPAC involves human trafficking with 25,000 troops entering tourist areas.

Big Island RIMPAC Protests are planned for Saturday, July 6 from 10 AM till Noon at the Pohakuloa Main Gate. (Car pools leave Hilo from Komohana and Saddle Rd at 9 AM). A Hilo RIMPAC protest is planned for Saturday, July 20 from 10 AM till Noon fronting the Kamehameha Statue on Hilo Bayfront. Please pass the word! Mahalo. Canceling RIMPAC will be a peace victory for all!

The Israel/US war in Gaza is expanding north to Lebanon and perhaps beyond. The US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is expanding triggering threats about the possible use of nuclear weapons and WW III. The US keeps poking China in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, risking another major war by accident or design. No More War! Enough! Negotiate Peace Now!

Dangerous Times

Dangerous Times!

The Israel/US war in Gaza appears to be expanding north to Lebanon and perhaps beyond.

The US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia appears to be expanding to more direct NATO involvement and the possible use of nuclear weapons –WWIII, and the end of civilization as we know it.

The US keeps poking China in the South China Sea, risking a major war by accident or design.

The bottom line is that the US wants to remain the sole unchallenged Global Empire, and like all empires, overextend, and collapse.

Julian Assange, Wikileaks Founder, is Finally Free!

Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder, and Australian citizen is finally free after more than 14 years of restrictions and imprisonment for exposing US & British war crimes in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The late US whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who released “The Pentagon Papers” on the hidden history of the US war in Vietnam said that the U.S. effort to prosecute Julian Assange under the Espionage Act was a threat to journalism everywhere. Press freedom, journalistic integrity, and whistleblower protections are central to First Amendment Free Speech rights. Exposing US war crimes should not be a crime. Mahalo Julian and all those who stood up for him!

Red Hill Whistleblower Details How Her Warnings Were Ignored Even As Disaster Loomed

Tuesday, June 25th, 2024

 What an important and great article.  What a courageous woman!  Mahalo.  We need whistleblowers at Pohakuloa, and other military sites to speak out about additional military toxic contaminations.

Red Hill Whistleblower Details How Her Warnings Were Ignored Even As Disaster Loomed

On 6/25/24 9:31 a friend wrote
Of all the articles I’ve read about the Red Hill Disaster, this one spells out the negligence that the military exhibited every step of the way.  It’s never enough for them to know the truth, even when it comes from “inside.”
