Wars and conflicts USA

Aloha! I just found out that the Navy is planning on expanding its war games and numerous new weapon "toys" in an area of 235,000 square nautical miles around Hawaii! Incredibly, the Navy is proposing a major upgrading and expansion - in order to do more research, development, testing, and evaluation of military weapons and systems, to the tune of 140 (that is One Hundred Forty) projects, including even the use of Directed Energy Laser Weapons.

Why are they doing this? According to Section of the Environmental Impact Statement, " The purpose for the proposed action is to:
achieve and maintain fleet readiness using the HRC to support and conduct current, emerging, and future training events and RDT&E training and testing events; (2) expand warfare missions [Note: anti-war activists beware!] supported by the HRC, consistent with the requirements of the FRTP and other transformation initiatives; and (3) upgrade/modernize existing range capabilities to enhance and ensure the sustainability of Navy training and testing. The Proposed Action is needed to provide combat capable forces ready to deploy worldwide"...

For those wondering about radioactivity? I found mention of the words "radioactive materials" four times within Volume 3. One gets the feeling that, as usual, in its military "test" sites, Uncle Sam’s not planning on just shooting blanks!

The adverse impact on whales, other marine wildlife, the air, and ocean is unfathomable. I will allow you to imagine what effects these weapons will have upon the environment and wildlife, and also, sadly, upon the health of the Hawaiian people.

Can we possibly get enough international outrage going within four (4) days to stop the Navy from this expansion that appears in only 2 (!) articles from Hawaii newspapers in a Google news search? The link to one of the article links is below. The other is filled with falsehoods (i.e, how great weapons testing is for whales) and is thus omitted. As you will soon discover for yourself, the Environmental Impact Statement for the Hawaii Range Complex is already filled with enough deception for one night’s reading.

Can we do this? Or better put, how can we NOT do this? Can we stop the US military from further ruining the waters and marine wildlife around
America’s Hawaiian Paradise? Admittedly, it’s a long shot. But isn’t saving Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean worth a try?

Media article: "No aloha for sonar plan found at Maui hearing"

Thank you for taking just 5 minutes to write a short note stating that you do not support any military expansion in the Hawaii Range Complex, that you reject both Alternatives 1 and 2, and that you insist instead that our government protects and defends Hawaii (its land, its ocean, its wildlife, and its people) from further harm and degradation.

After you write, please pass this article around to everyone you know. After all, isn’t saving our Hawaiian Paradise, our oceans, and our marine wildlife worth just a few minutes of our time?

Mahalo, as the Hawaiian Islanders say! Thanks!

  • GOOD GRIEF!! It’s just come out that parts of the Hawaiian Islands are contaminated with depleted uranium from the military training. The devils that be just love to rub our noses in it, don’t they?

    • Now that many of you have found out these FACTS, you possess what is termed "Knowledge".
      If you have Knowledge of a crime being committed, or having been committed, and you do nothing about it, you are guilty of "Knowledge and Negligence".
      If you fail to report it to the authorities...such as Interpol, FBI and the like....you can be charged under Title 18 1001 & 1002 of the US Criminal Codes......which means it’s a Federal offense NOT to report a crime.
      If you possess a Birth Certificate (which means you are a Ward of the State) you MUST do as you are required by Law and not conceal a crime....In a court of Law, concealment of a crime is equivelant to the Concealment of a Weapon, and carries the maximum penalty.
      The Judge will also state "Ignorance is NO excuse".

  • I was under the strict impression that Hawaii was named in the World Court and United Nations in 2003 as a Sovereign Nation with its own Truthful Language Constitution, AND IS NO LONGER A STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If this be the case, then I am prepared to help bring forward a World Court action to prevent the US Navy going ahead with this project, if it be the will of the Hawaiian people.
    Are these people going to stand by and allow what happened with the arrival of James Cook, to happen all over again?. Doesn’t anyone know of the genocide that took place on the beach in Hawaii because they would not drop the Prepositional-Phrases from their speech?
    You should say "O Ka Hawaii" not Ka O Hawaii.
    Wakey, wakey out there in Dodo-land.....We can ALL stop this from happening, and charge the US Navy with Genocide on a grand scale if you have the testicles to stand up to them....if not, we are ALL destined for destruction........EVERYWHERE!

  • The authority of the US Navy to police the world as they see fit is an assumed authority. They have assumed this authority because they think no one else out there can kick their ass, so they are bully cowards and war criminals of the highest order. What they really need is a good old fashioned ass whuppin’ country style. Perhaps half the fleet at the bottom of the Persian Gulf would be a good start. Then we must see that the perpetrators are brought to justice - behind bars for life.

  • What if one of the goals of the modernization of the range equipment, like upgrading the hydrophones on the sea floor, was to better understand the distribution of marine mammals on the range complex, so better steps could be taken to protect them? Just a thought...

    Keep up the free speech, dissenting opinions and questioning authority! That’s partly why the 500,000 Navy civilians and military do what they do.

    • While I realize those in our armed forces pledge to uphold the constitution, I am unclear how their illegal use in occupations to seize and control mideast oil translates into promoting "free speech, dissenting opinions, and questioning authority". Please explain. Also if exercises are being carried out to "better understand the distribution of marine animals ...to protect them" perhaps an exercise to "better understand the distribution of innocent Iraqi non-combatant women and children" might be advisable so that another million or so aren’t needlessly slaughtered.

    • After watching the Nazi Brown Shirted attack on a U.S. student at the Kerry event recently, I think the nation might be better served having those in our military that claim to be fighting for "free speech, disenting opinions, and questioning authority" to show up at the next Kerry or other puppet speaking event and start promoting their ideals right here at home. Obviously a country that attacks it own citiznes for asking hard questions and crushes 1st Amendment protections at home can never be taken seriously by others in the world that "we" claim to be trying to spread "freedom and democracy" to. LOL. Kerry and his ilk need to quit following in Saddam’s footsteps and start walking in Jefferson’s.
