The Keaau Community Center is located behind the Keaau Police station and Bay Clinic in Keaau.
Among topics to be discussed Monday Feb. 27th:
1. One year anniversary of the war in Ukraine with increasing war tensions with Russia, and with China over Taiwan. Either, or both, of these situations, could escalate quickly to a global nuclear war. It is important to stress — Diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy! More and more weapons are not the answer.
There needs to be a Congressional investigation into the alleged US bombing of the Russian Nord Stream Pipelines. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh broke the news. Hersh also revealed the Mi Lai Massacre during the Vietnam war and the US torture of prisoners at Abu Graib prison in Iraq. See U.S. destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. https://scheerpost.com/…/how-america-took-out-the-nord…/
Former CIA officer Ray McGovern, says the US bombing of the Russian pipeline constitutes an act of war against Russia. See
2. “Experience Pohakuloa Day set for Thursday, April 20th where school kids and the public are invited to an Earth Day celebration at the Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA). Help circulate this Public Service Announcement to all schools on the island and parents of school-age kids urging a boycott and a cancellation of this event.
“For School Officials & Teachers – Please print and post in the teacher meeting room. Please forward this message to your Parent-Teacher Association PTA, so that this important information is circulated prior to organizing ANY STUDENT EARTH DAY EXCURSIONS TO POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA
P U B L I C S E R V I C E A N N O U N C E M E N T (PSA)
Parents of young children and pregnant women are warned of the dangers of DU (Depleted Uranium) and other military toxins at the Pohakuloa Training Area!
Please view the short video of Dr. Lorrin Pang, M.D., public health officer and retired Army Medical Corps explaining the health dangers of inhaling DU oxide dust particles (See https://vimeo.com/19153948). As Dr. Pang explains, especially vulnerable are young children and pregnant women.
Allowing children in your care to attend programs at Pohakuloa, especially during live fire training, unnecessarily puts them at risk. Mahalo. For more information, contact Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action, P.O. Box 489, Kurtistown, HI 96760. Tel. (808) 966-7622.”
3. Reopening of the Hilo Post office/Federal bldg restrooms. All Hawaii Congressional representatives and senators have been contacted by email and phone to take action. These restroom have been locked to the public since before covid in 2018-19.
4. Come and bring items for discussion at the meeting. Please pass the word to ohana and friends. Mahalo.
