Disrespect
Confrontation on Mauna Kea stems from DISRESPECT. Disrespect of local
sensitivities. Disrespect of religion, kupuna ancestry & Poli'ahu.
Disprespect of pace of decisionmaking, ho'oponopono, and Hawaiian
health. Continuing gross disrespect from colonists, bitterly evident,
makes many Hawaiians angry.

Monument Us Mauna
Monument
Us Mauna by Bru
Raw Hawaiian hike
The Occupier's bootprint
Desecrates all breath
Yankee goose-fat legs
Smart Aloha Foot Massage
Kicks
thieves from Our Land
Generations
duped
into Quiet Submission...
Hawaiians
Awake!
Declaring "it's empty & barren" of meaning, aggressive predators
desecrate Hawaiian nature. Wrongs poorly justified: To advertise Swiss
medicines on White House banners could save lives. Giant aerial tram to
Mt. Fuji's summit could promote alpine access & ecology. It's wrong
outsiders further destroy Mauna Kea with force & desperate fury.
Flim Flam Man insists: small space on Mama's cheek is perfect for advertisement.
Flim Flam Man insists: resistance is futile.

Glow to Tokyo 2020 ?
Japan's Fukushima nuclear meltdown hides an uncomfortable success story:
Onagawa Nuclear Plant was nearer the earthquake epicenter, yet survived
the shaking & tsunami to properly shutdown.
The "inescapable natural disaster" narrative excusing huge public funding is ridiculous knowing Onagawa's success.
"Onagawa was only 123 kilometers away from the epicenter—60 kilometers closer than Fukushima Daiichi—and the difference in seismic intensity at the two plants was negligible. Furthermore, the tsunami was bigger at Onagawa, reaching a height of 14.3 meters, compared with 13.1 meters at Fukushima Daiichi" [Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists - link]
Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO - the nuclear operator at Fukushima, was terribly negligent and fundamentally criminal.
The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission was succinct [Executive Summary, p.21]: "'Regulatory capture' ... allows individuals to justify their own actions, hide them when inconvenient, and leave no records in order to avoid responsibility. Across the board, the Commission found ignorance and arrogance unforgivable for anyone or any organization that deals with nuclear power. We found a disregard for global trends and a disregard for public safety."
http://warp.da.ndl.go.jp/.../3856371/naiic.go.jp/en/report/
The Commission Chair wrote [Executive Summary, p.9]:
"What this report cannot fully convey – especially to a global audience – is the mindset that supported the negligence behind this disaster. What must be admitted – very painfully – is that this was a disaster “Made in Japan.” Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to ‘sticking with the program’; our groupism; and our insularity."
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics will struggle with many key safety challenges. TEPCO Fukushima continues leaching radiation. There's always the threat of major earthquakes & tsunami throughout Japan. Even potential problems from volcanic eruption should not be ignored. Visitors are unlikely to notice the conceit & arrogance as described in the above report, but the dangerously insular mindset too accepting of authority is still inescapably found across Japan. Those navigating Tokyo 2020, please Beware!

Paradise Coverup!
Urine Trouble Boy
US federal & state officials are hiding details of the unidentified US Army trespasser who fell into Kilauea volcano on 2nd May. Three weeks now passed since he was rescued!
Was he pissing over the edge? ...his friends might have photo evidence.
Administrative coverup arouses global SCANDAL.
We condemn reckless colonialist arrogance exploiting Hawai'i.

Piss Poor US Army
US Army troops visit Kilauea, Hawai'i, and at a place off-limits to
civilians & Hawaiians, one soldier clambers over a railing and
somehow falls into Halemaumau crater.
Coconut wireless heard half-round the world. Scuttlebutt sez:
idiot stood on the edge urinating into Madame Pele's home!
Auwe! Hewa to da Max!

Arrogant Yankee Occupation Forces!
