The U.S. Army has admitted that radioactive depleted uranium has been found at the U.S. Army's Pohakuloa Training Area. Military contractor Cabrera Services has also determined that a formerly classified weapon capable of firing DU rounds was used at the 55,000 acre Big Island military base, the Army said in a two-page news release ... this news transmitted via Viviane Lerner on the NucNews nuclear list service, as reported in the Hawaii Tribune-Herald ... Meantime, Sharon Rudolph offers this statement regarding Hawaii DU contamination : " I'd like to add..... Hawaii residents and especially everyone downwind of any DU discovery wants the military to follow its own laws! Everyone wants free, "REAL" DU testing for all residents! The thousand dollar test!!! Everyone wants the military to follow is own laws to give medical care to anyone harmed ...and in regard to clean- up; close and pave Pohakuloa and every live fire range across the country that used DU! Everyone wants to know why the cancer rates, birth defects, thyroid, immune and neurological problems are so high downwind! Why are feral cats sick on the western slopes of Mauna Kea? Why are hunters reporting a greatly increased amount of tumors in sheep and goats? Hawaii residents want an INDEPENDENT monitor, NOW! Everyone in Hawaii wants the army to clean up the other 871 contaminated sites, and however many hundred the navy, has, too! AND they must pay for what they've done to Hawaii and the rest of the country!!!!" To read recent NucNews recent posts from Lerner on this issue, click here ... (pdf file) |
I am one of the protesters on Pohakuloa during the dedication of the "new road" dug and paved over our sacred grounds. None are allowed to trespass that land, even the priests of Hawai'i must undergo special ceremonies before even attempting to walk into that area.

you will find me near the bottom of the page on the left hand side, third picture from bottom. As I spoke to the crown assembled, from the controlled area where we were relegated by law enforcement personnel, Kamakani Nui, a great wind, came down out of the sky and struck the corner of the tent they had erected, sucked up a pile of their papers and scattered them to the mountain. I'm sure the Kanaka present there that day, May 29, 2007, were very disturbed by the "events of nature". Their ancestors were speaking to them and trying to warn them off the sacred temple most people call Mauna Kea. It is our highest temple, it is the temple of our ancestors, it is guarded by their spirits, and they do not want us disturbing them more. What is it with the people of 'no color' they always want to move graves and claim they are doing nothing wrong. The government of the united states admitted to their error, yet despite their own laws they continue their occupation, persist in polluting our aina and our oceans, and but for the trade winds they would pollute our air as well, as they do the air of the mainlanders. They have lied to us and it has been proven, yet they say there is no problem. If they have lied about one thing, how is it that we should believe further statements toward the same end, i.e., the abrogation of fault on their part so they don't have to pay for their arrogant criminal acts, polluting the land, the water and the air with their poisonous radioactive weapons. They have even performed similar acts in the state of washington by labeling radioactive waste as fertilizer and contaminating whole areas of farm land, to such an extent that whole water tables cannot be used. This is crime! It must be stopped! Those who perpetuated this crime must be dealt the severest of punishments!
CLEAN UP OUR ISLANDS, THEN GO THE H*** HOME, AND TAKE ALL YOUR POISONS AND WEAPONS WITH YOU!
Is it because our Ali'i Nui claimed neutrality that they think they can continue with this genocide?
KU'E KANAKA KU'E
