The tragic carnage of gun violence in the US goes hand in hand with the US addiction to war.
“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. said in the 1960s.
The violence has only gotten much worse since then.
Chickens, and weapons of war, come home to roost!

Where Do YOU Stand?
What are you doing to prevent Pohakuloa from becoming our Big Island “Red Hill” toxic water disaster, our Lahaina firestorm from bombing and shelling in the dry windy Saddle Area, and all of us on Hawaii Island from becoming nuclear (and other airborne toxic) down winders?
Many Hawaii elected officials are ignorant about what’s happening at Pohakuloa. It’s an indictment of their responsibility, of our local news media, and military secrecy about what’s taking place in the center of our island.

Excellent OHA Sept. 2024
articles on “Pohakuloa –
“A Land Besieged.”
Please read pages 14-17 at the links below

Photo of Wildfire started at Pohakuloa in Aug. 2022 that burned more than 17,000 acres, including more than 12,000 acres off PTA in endangered species habitat. The US military has admitted to starting 892 wildfires at Pohakuloa from military activities since 1975.
I’m amazed at how ignorant many Hawaii elected officials are about what’s happening at Pohakuloa, a training ground for nuclear war. Reminds me of Germans living around Auschwitz, a concentration and extermination camp, who were told it was a family camp. It’s an indictment of our officials and our local news media. It is a failure to look into what is going on, and military secrecy about what is taking place in the center of our island home. We all need to take off the blinders. We need serious change.
Ask election candidates and officials hard questions: Pohakuloa has been bombed and shelled for more than 80 years with a wide variety of weapons and military toxins, including radiation weapons. Millions of live rounds are fired annually at PTA. What are you going to do to prevent Pohakuloa from becoming our Big Island’s “Red Hill” toxic water disaster, our Lahaina firestorm from bombing and shelling in the dry windy Saddle Area, and all of us on Hawaii Island from becoming nuclear (and other airborne) downwind victims of military toxins?
Please Speak Out! Mahalo.
