Mauna Kea, the Sacred

Wondered how long it would be before someone posted something about Mauna Kea and the TMT. Not too many surprises but associating the telescopes with the military is a new one, and about as intellectually dishonest as you can get. But it's a free-for-all post. Global warming, sacred places, drinks, the environment, discrimination, ecosystems, you name it, it's there, and not one piece of evidence to back any of it up.

But it's a hodgepodge of thoughts and poorly constructed ones at that. It starts of with the TMT and then immediately goes onto military training. Maybe the poster could start with a connection between those two things because the rest of the post means nothing without that connection.

Sincere question to you, Tom:
I don't know squat about this subject, so would like to be educated. You are astronomer, so I respect what you have to say regarding this. Can you go into a bit on why the guy that was quoted is dishonest about what he is saying? This is not baiting, I sincerely don't know enough to even begin to understand this argument and would like to know more. Thanks for your time to help me get it.
