To be clear: 1. The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology (and the theory is false). 2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book. 3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law). 4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution. 5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process". 6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.). 7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.

Why don’t they remove the others which are obsolete compared to the tmt telescope and have just the one observatory. Come on government peoples start working with the natives instead of tricking them. On the matter of asteroids or any celestial objects coming toward us don’t you think one of those 13 observatories on Mauna Kea would have seen something by now? Duhh but they haven’t let me guess cause tmt needs to be built to see dangerous objects flying our way. Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo to make people think tmt is a good thing.

It doesn't obstruct any religious, cultural, traditional or recreational practice. It's one mile away walking distance and six hundred feet in elevation below the holy summit.

The majority of the money that is generated by the telescopes on the Mauna Kea go outside the state. What little stays in the state benefits the University of Hawaii, therefore virtually zero goes back to the native hawaiian community. TMT is a Caltech project.

[@sunnysied713]

The protesters lied and said TMT is nuclear powered, gonna drill into the aquifer system and steal/poison the water, gonna use dynamite to blast a giant fifteen story hole into the mauna, is a secret U.S./Japanese military weapon, as big as a NFL stadium, bigger than all maunakea telescopes combined, gonna shave off the summit and let in destructive storms, cause a volcanic eruption and a buncha other crazy stuff. The kia'i have spread some crazy conspiracy theories. These islands don't have wolves, but the protesters sure know how to cry wolf.🐺 The protesters stated, on the public record, in the contested case hearing for the TMT that they want to REMOVE ALL TELESCOPES from the mauna. They don't care about the compromise to remove 5 telescopes in exchange for 1 new (which is legally binding and actionable since it's part of the TMT permit). They claim they 'love science', but they don't join the negotiation table, help find solutions, create win-win scenarios and look for ways where science and culture can coexist on the mauna. Not very akamai. Does it look like they love science?

My son fell in love with the ocean when he was 15 months old on his 1st visit to the beautiful islands of Hawai'i. Sadly, we could only stay for 2 short weeks. After our 1st night back home, he popped up bright & early & said beach, mama, beach. I explained to him that we cant go to the beach this morning, we aren't in hawai'i anymore. He cried every morning that week. Hawai'i is a place that wraps around your heart. Its embrace stays with you long after you leave. The spirit of aloha is amazing. Stay strong my Hawaiian brothers & sisters.

[@shameless5444]

If you live there, then you would know that kanaka have used the Mauna for everything (quarrying, farming, hunting, gathering, military drills, battles, etc). Also, you would know that the Native Hawaiians inflicted a great deal of environmental damage due to over-hunting, over-harvesting, introduction of invasive plant and animals species, fire clearing for agriculture, etc. Modern telescopes have huge requirements and obligations to be environmentally, ecologically and culturally responsible. They don't even want to look at the TMT plan, compromises or permit process. The protesters are 100% over-reacting. Even worse, they're unwilling to work together to find a happy compromise where science and culture can coexist on the Mauna

[@HeyOlivia1]

It really isn't. I am a Kanaka Maoli, born in Hilo, raised in Hawaii, currently living in mainland U.S. my friends I have made here had no idea that Hawaii was a kingdom with a monarchy. The last Queen, Queen Lili'uokalani, was illegally held in her own palace against her own will and forced to give up her throne. In doing so, Hawaiian crown lands became ceded lands. This land that the TMT has plotted out for their telescope is part of those lands, and rightly so belong to the native Hawaiian people.

That last speech gave me chills! I'm from Spain and I don't understand why they don't bring it here already. We're fine with it, the permits are ready, the site doesn't have special significance and it'd be built over an older telescope, so it'd barely make any impact. They should return the sacred lands to the natives and let them decide what to do with them.

@@NotSoSkinnyGirl The revolution of January 17, 1893 was caused by Queen Liliuokalani's attempt to prorogate the legislature, unilaterally create a new constitution (without the constitutional power to do so), promulgate this new constitution with a sudden declaration (surprise!) and use the military to suppress any opposition to her power grab. On January 14, she was ready to sign and proclaim the new laws. She wrote to Blount that the "members of the diplomatic corps had been invited; also the members of the supreme bench and members of the legislature, besides a committee of the Hui Kalaiaina." She also told Blount that she instructed her guards and military to be ready to suppress any challenge (riots, rebellion, etc) from her opposition: "They assured me they would be ready, and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy." The Queen had been secretly plotting a revolution to overthrow the government and reestablish an absolute monarchy. Then everyone found about her 'secret' plan. Everything went downhill fast for her. People weren't going to curtsy, sit idly and let her smile and wave as she led a revolution. Her opposition mobilized, organized and overthrew her with their own revolution. And the rest is history. Like I said, Queen Lili instigated her own overthrow, despite the advice of her own cabinet and supporters. She was an inexperienced, naive leader who thought she could make sweeping (illegal) changes via royal proclamation. Governor Cleghorn was a royalist and ally of Queen Liliuokalani. He was angry and disappointed by her plot to overthrow the government and failure to listen to counsel. On January 28, 1893, he wrote "I have never given the Queen anything but good advice. If she had followed my advice, she would have been firm on the throne, and Hawaiian Independence safe, but she has turned out a very stubborn woman and was not satisfied to Reign but wished to Rule." Queen Lili kicked a hornets nest and was stung by her own arrogance. She cost the country its independence. American Minister Stevens was following the instructions of his predecessor, Minister Miller, who received instructions from the Secretary of State of the first _President Cleveland_ Administration. Cleveland was president during the Bayonet Constitution of 1887. Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard sent written instructions to then American Minister George W. Merrill that if another revolution happens in Hawaii, then they must protect American commerce, lives and property. Bayard clearly stated that, "the assistance of the officers of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to promote the reign of law and respect for orderly government in Hawaii."After the revolution that lead to the Bayonet Constitution, _British_ Minister Wodehouse requested that the Americans keep a warship docked in Hawaiian port in case another revolution happened. In July 1889, there was a rebellion and Merrill ordered the deployment of marines and sailors to protect Americans. John L. Stevens (had replaced Merrill) and followed those official instructions during the overthrow of 1893. The American soldiers were peacekeepers who didn't participate in any government building raids, patrol the streets, fire any shots or provide any material support to the insurgents. Often, the Americans would land, come ashore and practice military drills (prior to the overthrow). During the 1893 revolution, the soldiers marched past Iolani Palace, lowered their flags to show neutrality and saluted the Queen. These are hardly aggressive actions. The Americans then remained in their bunkers and did absolutely nothing because no violence broke out against American interests. There was no invasion or military occupation. The monarchy was overthrown by a homegrown coup of 1,100-1,600 insurgents (who were citizens and royal subjects), Queen Liliuokalani surrendered and abdicated her power WITHOUT fighting to defend her country from internal, domestic threats, which was her constitutional duty as a monarch.
