Concerning chemtrails
They are here over Hawai‘i, they are real.
And if you believe the government, then you believe them when TSA agents forcibly finger your underwear because terrorists hate our freedoms.
Google the Internet and discover what the rest of the planet has found out. Learn quickly how to identify them.
Maui — high levels of barium aluminum, ethyl bromide, strontium in the soil and water. Locals are starting to test here. We need to join together now, like never before, and demand a stop to this.
With no immune system, or sustainable foods, we die. It is that simple. Interestingly, GM crops are genetically designed to tolerate high levels of aluminum, while everything else dies.
Despite the hype of GM crops feeding the world, German scientists have found GM crops are really good at one thing — second and third generation mice are stupid and sterile.
Henry Kissinger once said, “Control the banks, you control the nations. Control the food, you control the people.”
Kauaians are in for the fight of their lives. Stand and bear witness, tell others. I have found this island to be precious in every way. I could not live as a RN if I did not try to alert others. Google Chemtrails. Now.

Cultural survival at stake
Dear people of Kaua‘i and visitors, I am writing to express my opinion. I am a father of four children who are half kanaka maoli (native). Their family owned thousands of acres of land post-Kamehameha and millions held communally before his dynasty took hold.
After the overthrow, due to racial inequalities their families suffered huge losses, including the outlawing of their language, exile of some to Kalaupapa, diseases and poor education.
I am American and this is my second tour to Iraq. I am in the infantry. We have spilled blood and sacrificed so the Iraqi people will have freedom to the tune of more than a few trillion dollars.
As we have been told this is not our land it is theirs. My dilemma is how do you tell a 10-year-old or a grandmother that we took your lands and its too bad and we are giving theirs back? Oh, and by the way, there are a lot of kanaka maoli here fighting for your freedoms — they deserve theirs — solutions take compromise and respect which is where I hope the future takes us.
My grandfather always said before you judge try walking in that person’s shoes for a bit. My children who are well educated would all want everyone to know that as kanaka maoli there needs to be some change to ensure their cultural survival and I believe it too.

National Day of Prayer is exclusive or inclusive
“Our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion.” — John Milton
Brian Christensen’s Nov. 23 letter correctly points out that the National Day of Prayer Task Force is exclusive and divisive. My letter of Oct. 21 actually supports a position in opposition to such groups.
His thinking I support them is easy to understand though. The National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon, to which I referred as exemplary, included a wide range of faiths. Muslim religious leaders as well as Christians and others led prayers at one of the bastions of diversity and inclusiveness in our great country.
The leader of the NDP Task Force, the son of the Rev. Billy Graham no less, was specifically uninvited from the Pentagon due to the exclusivist, anti-anything else but our particular brand of Christianity evident on the Task Force website as cited by Mr. Christensen. No doubt the Pentagon felt it could not support those in opposition to the freedoms so many of our military have died to protect.
The Task Force is a private organization that just happens to share the same name as the law signed by President Reagan; the law that states that prayer on this day is to be “from all the great religions of the world.” It’s easy to confuse the two.
A Task Force style, exclusivist event was held at our County Building last year. As reported in our fair newspaper, some of us excluded from praying there held a mixed plate, local-style NDP gathering to which all were invited, including those who excluded us. This was indeed a service to stir pride in Thomas Jefferson.
So Mr. Christensen and I are both correct. The NDP Task Force is exclusive and divisive. The NDP law of Ronald Reagan is inclusive and unifying. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, “It’s religious freedom, if you can keep it.” Mr. Christensen, I want to keep it as much as you do.

Thank God for protection
Thank you God for protecting me when You didn’t let the bomb explode in my hand this past February. I got to celebrate another day of life, and am still celebrating.
