Native Hawaiian Activist Kaniela Ing on Fires, Colonialism & Banyan Tree

[@Bearwoman11]

I am a Native American. The Native American people of the North Americas and the South America's as well as indigenous people from around the world have all been preparing for these times. Indigenous people from around the world gathered for ceremony up in the mountains in big bear California. Many warnings were given and we are out of time now! I agree with everything this young man is saying! The one thing that is not being mentioned is weather engineering. This fire was not natural it was man-made and its weaponized!

[@shalom968]

This was definitely weaponized. Also, the leadership in Hawaii has diverted the water for years, and dried out the land.

[@starglow4375]

You will always notice how the winds pick up when these types of fires occur just like in California and it works well in conjunction with weaponized laser lights some now you can't see with the naked eye. Then we had after the devastating California fires the Rothschilds buy up many of those properties. The ones behind the Maui fires expected to gain from this is Blackrock, Vangaurd, Zillow etc... Already Maui property destroyed by the fires these owners are receiving numerous calls by real estate offices asking if they want to sell.

Repeating record heat waves across the US. Smoke from Canadian fires covers vast parts of the country. Record temps. Record drought. Record wind events. This is global warming and those Americans who have been flying twice a year to their fave getaway are all part of the cause. The type of disaster this is, is one that could have been avoided.

Former state Rep. Kaniela Ing is in trouble again with the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission, and this time he’s facing criminal prosecution and possible jail time for allegedly failing to file a mandatory campaign spending update on time. Ing was running for Congress in 2018 when the commission assessed nearly $22,000 in penalties, administrative fines and restitution against him for 23 inaccurate reports he filed between 2011 and 2016. Among other inappropriate uses of campaign funds, the commission determined that Ing, who represented South Maui at the time, used campaign funds to cover $2,125 in rent for residences on Oahu and Maui and spent $219 to make a payment on his domestic partner’s credit card account. Ing also deposited a campaign check worth $2,000 into his personal checking account but failed to document it on his campaign spending reports.

My question is how do we know all these disasters are caused by "Climate Change(Man Made)" or cyclical weather patterns(Natural)? Remember this planet is billions of years old and has had many harsh weather events during this period, which are outside of our historic recordings. I believe our over population of this planet and all the products we consume as well throw away are having an adverse effect on our planet from a standpoint of the soil, water and atmosphere, but it's nearly impossible to exactly pinpoint the cause for every event. It's in people's nature to find someone or something to blame during horrific events like this. The shame of it all is they lose site of the overall factors when focused on one thing.

[@margaretcox4456]

Understand though these harsh weather events are happening more rapidly now. Just last century the US in total had 3 major hurricanes. This century we aren't even a quarter of the way through and have had several. Just one example . We are much more populated but we are also wasteful with resources and it is harming the planet. There have been numerous studies on this. @@69ssrscamaro4

That is absolutely false as far as the weather. More rain falls in Southern California than in Lahaina. There is a rain shadow that has perpetually kept nearby vegetation dry long before climate change. Insurers probably should have been looking to non-renew policies in Lahaina just like they've been doing in California. The hills around Lahaina would not be looking like California golden hillsides if it rained a lot.

I adopted two dogs from a native Hawaiian friend who died. Tufa and Nani. We are all heart broke over your tragedy and the tragedy Hawaii has become since colonialism. I was told that Tufa was native Hawaiian for powerful ( the male) and Nani stood for beautiful ( the girl) It describes them perfectly as it does the native Hawaiian people. You will be in our thoughts for some time to come.

It's very sad. You're a good person.

@@kingbullyrock8739 Gee,no body was supposed to know about the women. Now, I suppose you are going to tell them about the puppies and kittens I beat. 🤓😂

Kidding aside, I am very sorry for what these people are going through. My niece barely escaped with her life and lost everything in the Paradise, California fires a couple of years ago. No laughing matter. Be well.

ha ha ha ... Hawaii was a place of great oppression before colonialism ... you couldn't even step on the shadow of a leader without being killed ... lame people not understanding how lucky they are that sensible people liberated them

Its weird in Oregon small towns @ the coast and big towns that only have 1 road for escape, they All, ALL have escape route plans and siren warning for disasters like fire. Why was this ocean town different? You mean to tell me that a tourist town in maui didn't have a siren or warning system in place for your town? Who runs this town? Wth...

[@euniceunlayao9355]

Actually they have this very loud horn, it’s so loud that it would make you get off your ass and starts running for your life. Your question is on point. Where was the fire fighters? This is what bothers me, if the fire naturally happened, it would probably will take time to spread, but I really feel like it’s a made. Pro arsonist that knew how to spread the fire fastest than anything really.

[@WolfWhispering]

I think the answer is even simpler than that. They knew there was one road out so they should have had a plan in place when there was high winds and ANY fire on an island, they should have started evacuation as soon as the fire started because of the wind. Same thing happened in paradise California the fire moves at football fields at a time. The normal family living there doesn't know that but the officials DO. So they basically folded their hands on their peeps. ALSO it's so weird to me that we can spend so much money on other country's but we can't get a siren or a text or... boating and flying in firefighters and aid. It took the president days. Always reminds me of the superdome family's dying of thirst etc
